"Did you just say you are from the Holy Divine Gate?" The village woman who had called the villagers over was at the forefront, her eager gaze making Wang Long feel as if he had become some exquisite delicacy, while she looked like a starving wolf who hadn't eaten for three days.
"Ahem, that's right. Why, does it not seem so?" Wang Long felt uneasy under her intense stare. Could it be that they had some special way of recognizing these deities? Was there some flaw in his words that could give him away?
"Divine Master!"
With a thud, as soon as Wang Long spoke, the villagers knelt down in unison. "We were wrong! How could we have thought you were a deity from a Minor Sect? Just looking at your graceful demeanor and imposing presence, we should have guessed your true identity! Divine Master, how is my child's situation? If he still has some celestial roots, please take him as your disciple!"
"Divine Master! Please take my child!"
"Divine Master, my son Ermao just told me he is the fastest learner among all the children when it comes to magic. What great potential he has—of course, compared to you, Divine Master, he is far behind, but he is definitely someone worth cultivating!"
"Uh, I understand. Please don't crowd me; I can hardly breathe! Step back and stop pulling at my clothes! Hey! I don't have any treasures in my pants! Help~!!!"
"Ahem, everyone be serious!" Wang Long exerted tremendous effort and used all his Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence to maintain his "innocent body." Looking at the villagers who were filled with shame and had realized their mistake, he put on an air of authority. "Even as a newcomer deity, I know you wouldn't dare treat other deities like this. What do you take me for? A vendor at the market? You there, step forward!"
Wang Long was a powerful figure commanding thousands; when he got serious, even without releasing his Spirit, he exuded an overwhelming presence.
The villagers naturally did not dare to resist. Just by looking at this young deity's current demeanor, he was already far above their village chief, indicating that he was indeed an extraordinary person!
"What can we do for you, Divine Master?"
After chatting with these villagers, Wang Long gained a basic understanding of how various forces operated in their divine realm.
In the divine realm, it is unlike the current world where every power divides territories in the Nine Continents and Four Seas. In that world, all races and resources within a territory belong to their respective powers. You can train them, teach them Dragon Arts, and enhance their strength. Naturally, whether for loyalty or to defend their homeland, they would generally join your faction.
However, the situation is completely different in the divine realm.
Perhaps the strength of those Great Divine Powers is simply too formidable. If they truly fought alongside these ordinary people, dragging them into battle, then two divine Dragon Arts could likely wipe them all out. Not only would this render their existence meaningless, but it would also deplete the very foundation of the divine realm. Although it is unclear whether the divine race has a direct lineage growth path like the dragon race, it is already certain that among these ordinary people are precisely those selected by the divine race for cultivation.
All factions in the divine realm exist in places unreachable by ordinary people, and they do not directly delineate territorial boundaries; everyone is a chosen candidate of their divine race.
In other words, the Holy Divine Gate can come here to select disciples, and people from Xuanmen can also come here to choose disciples. Ultimately, which faction they wish to join depends entirely on their own will!
"What a fortunate group of people!" Wang Long sighed as he thought about the impending decisive battle with the Human Emperor's Army that awaited his Dragon City faction in the current world.
Regardless of their relationships within the factions of the divine race, they must be absolutely loyal to their own faction in the future. For example, if two brothers join Holy Divine Gate and Xuanmen respectively, when those two factions engage in a great battle later on, both brothers must fight against each other without mercy. This is one of the iron laws of the divine realm and a key reason why various factions of the divine race allow such "freedom" among people.
Another reason that Wang Long has yet to confirm can be roughly analyzed from what he has heard.
It is feared that the population in the divine realm is far less than that in the current world.
Without even counting clans like Jiao Dragon Clan and Serpent Clan, just the human race across the eight continents represents a vast number that even the Human Emperor cannot accurately quantify. In this sense, they certainly do not need to feel sorry for the fate of these "cannon fodder."
When those immortals come here to recruit new disciples, they naturally must first win over the goodwill of these villagers. For instance, they might help clear mountain paths or summon winds and rains.
Over time, this became a habit; all immortals behaved this way. Only some lesser sects would directly target children. Generally speaking, parents would not allow their children to enter such sects. Eventually, those lesser sects became increasingly excessive, even resorting to outright abduction, leading to a growing negative perception among villagers towards them and ultimately forming a vicious cycle.
"Divine Master, are you really not taking any disciples this time?" Hearing Wang Long flatly refuse everyone's requests, appearing as a high figure who had come to the mortal world for training, the villagers could hardly hide their disappointment.
"Cough, that's right. My own strength and cultivation are still lacking quite a bit; how could I dare to take on disciples? Moreover, my superiors at Holy Divine Gate have not approved it, so I cannot act on my own accord."
As Wang Long spoke, he inwardly cursed. He hadn't even truly engaged with Holy Divine Gate yet and had already made himself seem inferior.
"In that case, we wouldn't dare to trouble Great Divine Power," the villagers said. Upon hearing that it was the Great Divine Power of Holy Divine Gate who had not given permission, they no longer dared to plead and could only accept reality. Just then, a middle-aged man with some cultivation and a refined appearance stepped forward. "I am Li Yu. I wonder if Divine Master could help us with a matter to relieve our village's suffering!"
"Oh?" Wang Long became somewhat interested and pretended to ponder for a moment. "My purpose this time is to undergo tempering. Feel free to speak about your matter; let's see if I can handle it."
"In fact, before Divine Master arrived here, a group of Evil Gods came and tried to force us into submission. Although we all refused them on the spot and they didn't dare to kill anyone, they blocked the roads in Sangyou Mountain, cutting off our supplies and making life extremely difficult for our village. With the dry season approaching and water sources dwindling, we are even unsure if we can fill our stomachs. Therefore, we hope Divine Master can drive them away and restore peace to our land."
"Oh?" Wang Long was currently troubled by his insufficient understanding of the divine realm, and this request was exactly what he needed. "No problem! This time, let you see the methods of this deity!"
Wang Long's eyes once again radiated intense fighting spirit.
