In summary, opinions varied widely.

And now due to the affair of the Red Lotus Temple, he had no choice but to emerge and preside over the situation, which allowed Shen He and other deities to detect some signs.

There must be a reason behind unfounded rumors!

The state of this Lord of the Jinyang Prefecture indeed seemed somewhat off.

Although it’s uncertain if the incense poison had seeped into his bones, it was evident he wasn’t keen on dealing with external matters, nor did he show much intention of disciplining Shen He, his somewhat rebellious subordinate. After reaching a consensus with the Buddhist Sect, he hastily left the meeting.

This also relieved Shen He significantly, at least he didn’t have to face the pressure of a fourth-rank True God while dealing with the Buddhist Sect.

In summary, the situation is clear now, with great potential for development. Next comes competing with the Buddhist Sect for incense, deepening accumulation, enhancing the foundation, and finding ways to elevate the divine rank.

As for the profession...

Shen He glanced at the professional panel; the professional level of [Ziwei Star] was not fully upgraded, let alone advanced.

There’s no choice; although he has harvested a lot of experience through various methods over the years, the income has been surpassed by expenses, especially the "Ziwei Emperor’s Sacrifice," which not only consumes Divine Power but also requires a considerable amount of professional experience, causing him an experience gap.

But it must be done. In the early stages of development, various talents are crucial, especially in this Divine Dao World. The rules of heaven and earth distinguish Yin and Yang, and divine beings can’t interfere too much. Without finding ways to cultivate representatives among humans, many things will be hindered or even controlled by others.

So, over the decades, Shen He consumed a lot of professional experience and held the Ziwei Emperor’s Sacrifice three times.

That’s right, three times, although the Mountain God’s birthday was celebrated annually, limited by professional experience, the Ziwei Emperor’s Sacrifice couldn’t be held every year. Over the decades, it was held only three times.

But these three Ziwei Emperor’s Sacrifices brought Shen He a wealth of talent, even three Star Inheritors.

These three individuals were none other than Song Wen, the eldest of the Song Family, Song Wu, the third of the Song Family, and the rising star Li Mubai.

Song Wen, among them, had the star fate of "Left Minister," a talent for governing the country. His management of Qinghe and Huangshan, along with the development of the Song Clan, has been under his control. With the Left Minister star’s blessing, everything has been smooth.

Song Wu and Li Mubai both had the fate of the "Celestial Halberd."

The Celestial Halberd, one of the "Six Auspicious Stars" of Ziwei Star Fate Numerology, symbolizes imperial martial power, similar to Mars, and is responsible for military fortune and state affairs.

Song Wu and Li Mubai, both inheriting this star, developed in different directions. Song Wu focused on personal martial prowess, while Li Mubai was a leadership talent, which is why Shen He arranged for him to have a magistrate position in Jinyang Prefecture.

The magistrate is a military official overseeing the military of a prefecture. With this position, it further enhances his star fate career.

As for Song Wu...

This time, he died in battle at the Red Lotus Temple. Although not Shen He’s original intention, by accident, he can bring him into the Divine Dao, and with this achievement, seal him as his Dharma Guardian Spirit Official.

If not, without any achievements, gaining a high position just based on blood relations would inevitably lead to discontent, and in the future, create endless hidden dangers. After all, there are so many members of the Song Clan, he couldn’t possibly deify each one, right?

There must be a system, rewards based on merit!

Song Wu was the martial pillar of the Song Family. Over the years, he had toiled and achieved much in military affairs, and now, with this self-sacrifice, such merit justified sealing him as an eighth-grade Mountain Guardian Spirit Official, and no one could say anything against it.

As for the seventh grade, Shen He had just advanced to the sixth grade, and under his command, there was no seventh-rank god. This eighth-grade official position for Song Wu was requested from the Jinyang Prefecture given the current situation.

To act as one wishes and appointed subordinate positions, one must obtain the Divine Dao Skill and master the power of the Divine Seal of Imperial Decree!
