During the last wave of monsters in Shiwanda Mountain, Chu Ci saved many cities, and Baicheng was one of them.
At that time, Baicheng was invaded by a huge tide of monsters, and one of the protective gods ran away, leaving the gray-clothed god in front of him alone, so Chu Ci had some impression of him.
"You are... the patron saint of Baicheng." Chu Ci frowned: "If I remember correctly, this should be our second meeting, right?"
"Yes."
"Then why do you call me sir?"
"Because I want to join your army!"
Chu Shen was stunned. He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise he would not have heard such ridiculous words.
A god who only had a relationship with him suddenly came all the way and said that he wanted to become his subordinate god. No matter how you heard it, it seemed like a fantasy.
He is not a main god or a god-king, and he can get other gods to vote for him just by his name.
If it weren't for the serious expression on the gray-clothed god's face, Chu Ci would have thought he was kidding himself.
After pondering for a while, Chu Ci's eyes turned black and he looked at the gray-clothed god.
Soul Peeping!
Under the gaze of Chu Ci's dark pupils, the gray-clothed god's heart palpitated, and he subconsciously used his divine power to resist Chu Ci's gaze.
But it was useless, that indifferent gaze penetrated his divine power and peered into his soul completely. It seemed that no thought could be hidden from these dark eyes.
Chu Ci put away the black light in his eyes and felt a little headache.
The gray-clothed god did not lie, he really wanted to join his command.
But Chu Ci still couldn't figure out why this person wanted to become his subordinate god?
Do I have the legendary domineering power of knowledge?
The uncontrollable divergence of Chu Ci's thinking.
After a moment of silence, Chu Ci said calmly: "Give me a reason."
The gray-clothed god looked at Song Bao and the two of them and hesitated for a moment.
"Song Bao, Yang Yu, you two go wait outside first."
"Yes, Master Chu Shen."
The gray-clothed god looked at Chu Ci gratefully.
Although he was ready to become Chu Ci's subordinate, he was still not used to exposing his secrets to humans.
Even though these two human beings are Chu Ci's favored ones and the great priests.
After the two people left, Chu Ci turned around and sat down, and at the same time motioned to the god in gray to sit down before talking.
The gray-clothed god chose a seat below Chu Ci and sat down, and then slowly said: "I know Lord Chu Shen has many doubts, but please believe that Bai is serious. This is what I have done after a long period of consideration.
, and then I made up my mind.”
"Bai's name is Baishan, which is..."
As the spirit in gray narrated, Chu Ci gradually understood everything.
Within Baicheng, there is a mountain in the city about 300 meters high. Baicheng was originally built by the villages living near this mountain, and later gradually developed into a city.
The original name of the mountain has long been unknown. It is only known that it was the mountain on which Baicheng was built, so it was called Jiancheng Mountain.
There is a long stream in Jiancheng Mountain, and Baishan Mountain was born in the middle of this stream.
It can be said that he is a god born in the city.
From the moment Baishan came out of the virtual world, he has been protecting the city.
Several gods also settled here on the way, but they all left after not staying long. Only he stayed here, silently guarding it for more than three hundred years.
But there is no such thing as a never-ending banquet. The protection of these three hundred years will eventually come to an end.
Bai Shan couldn't hold on any longer.
His divine power is about to be exhausted.
Baicheng is a medium-sized city with a high level of urban development and believers often pray. It is considered a city suitable for gods to settle down.
But Baicheng has a disadvantage, that is, it will be attacked by monsters.
In fact, this cannot be regarded as a shortcoming. All cities in Chengyang Prefecture basically have this shortcoming, but Baicheng is too close to Shiwanda Mountain.
In as short as a few years or as long as decades, Baicheng will be attacked by a group of monsters descending from the mountain, and it will take a lot of divine power from the gods to destroy or repel them.
This is also the reason why those gods left. After working hard for several years, only one visit from the monster will use up all the divine power gained from worship. Who can bear this?
Baishan's situation is better. After all, he has lived in Baicheng for a long time and has mastered some know-how. Moreover, his long-term protection has allowed him to accumulate some devout believers who often offer him divine power, which keeps his divine power at a relatively safe level.
s level.
But this state was destroyed in the last wave of monsters.
In order to protect Baicheng, he consumed a lot of divine power in the tide of monsters. Nowadays, only one of his divine powers are left. Even if he doesn't use any of his divine power from now on, his divine body will soon lose the nourishment of his divine power and slowly decline until his life span.
Eventually die.
Bai Shan had already anticipated his own outcome, but he couldn't let go of Baicheng.
He was born in Baicheng and lived in Baicheng for more than three hundred years. He had a deep affection for this city. If he died, this city would also lose the protection of the gods.
So before he dies, he must find a god who can replace him and protect Baicheng!
And Chu Ci, who turned the tide and saved Baicheng in the tide of monsters and beasts, was his first choice!
But Bai Shan also knew that Chu Ci had no reason to protect Baicheng on his behalf.
Bai Shan stood up, knelt down on one knee in front of Chu Ci, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "If Lord Chu God will not give up, Bai Shan is willing to be your subordinate god and follow your footsteps to the death!"
He will spend the rest of his life's loyalty in exchange for Chu Ci's protection of Baicheng!
Sensing Bai Shan's determined attitude, Chu Ci fell silent.
Baishan is very similar to him at the beginning, doing his best to protect the city.
It's just that he had better luck and obtained the divine status, but Baishan was trapped in his divine power and was on the verge of his death.
After a long time, Chu Ci sighed, stood up, and walked to Bai Shan.
"Since you are so determined, I will no longer advise you. From now on, you will be my god!"
Pointing their fingers together into swords, Chu Ci tapped Baishan's eyebrows, and an invisible wave of contract spread out, turning into a thin line, connecting Baishan's divine seal.
This is a universal contract between the deity camps, also known as the subordinate deity contract.
This kind of contract is basically useless except for the cross-border communication of divine seals.
The power of the contract is also very weak. As long as one of the parties pays some divine power, the contract can be terminated at any time.
But it is a proof of a subordinate god. If Chu Ci becomes the pinnacle of a superior god in the future, then he can give some of the power of the god to the subordinate god through a contract.
Bai Shan did not resist and allowed the power of the contract to enter his divine seal.
Seeing that the contract was successfully established, Chu Ci still felt a little strange.
Does this mean you have acquired a subordinate god?
Although Baishan is a lower god without a god, he is still a god and can do many things on his behalf.
Now that the temple is expanding, it just needs the help of such a god.
After pondering for a while, Chu Ci took out a white jade bottle from his arms and threw it to Bai Shan.
"Since you are loyal to me, I can't help but express your loyalty."
"This bottle of spiritual lotion is given to you."
"Lord Chu Shen, this..." Bai Shan took the white jade bottle in shock. Just as he was about to say something, Chu Ci interrupted him.
"You're welcome, they're just some small items that will be useful in your current situation." After thinking about it, Chu Ci continued: "I will explain your matter to Song Bao and the others later. What should you have done before and how you are still doing now?
, they will look for you if you need to come forward."
Bai Shan was silent for a while and nodded: "I understand, thank you Lord Chu Shen."
When Bai Shan walked out of the temple, a feeling of relief arose in his heart.
In fact, he thought about this decision for a long time.
When the guardian temple gradually became famous in Chengyang Mansion, Bai Shan knew that the god who saved Baicheng that day was Chu Ci.
But he has been hesitant, wondering whether he should seek help from Chu Ci.
One is afraid that Chu Ci will refuse, and the other is that Chu Ci is not strong enough to protect Baicheng well.
After all, Baicheng is not Chu Ci's city of enlightenment. If he encounters a situation like the last wave of monsters again, he doesn't know if Chu Ci will have the energy to take care of Baicheng.
What really prompted him to make up his mind was an action he took not long ago to protect the temple.
From the prayers of some believers, Bai Shan knew that a high-level monster was haunting a mountain not far from Baicheng, so he went out of the city and prepared to drive the monster back into the mountains.
By coincidence, the Guardian Temple also received the news, and Yang Yu happened to be not far from Baicheng at that time, so he personally led the battle team to the mountains to destroy the high-level monsters.
When Bai Shan arrived, he happened to see the battle between the guardian temple and the high-level monsters.
Baishan swore that he had never seen such a powerful temple team. The priests cooperated closely with each other, and the magical skills they mastered were powerful. The team covered many aspects of control, attack, protection, and treatment, and was perfect.
Even under the frenzied attacks of high-level monsters, the temple team cooperated tacitly and there were no casualties.
Yang Yu, in particular, attracted most of the attacks from the high-level monsters, but was still able to control the monsters under the high-level monsters, making them rebel and attack the high-level monsters.
Bai Shandu doubted that even without the cooperation of the temple team, Yang Yu could deal with this high-level monster by himself.
What shocked Baishan the most was that when the high-level monsters were about to escape, several priests in the temple jointly performed a magical technique.
The power of this magical technique is so powerful that it is rarely seen in the world. Bai Shan even doubted that this magical technique could be performed by humans. The power of the falling stars made him feel threatened.
Under the bombardment of this magical technique, the high-level monster's body was completely wiped out, and even the other monsters fled in panic and into the mountains.
It was at this time that Bai Shan completely understood Chu Ci's strength.
The priests under his command all have such power, so one can imagine the strength of Chu Ci as a god.
So Bai Shan no longer hesitated and followed Yang Yu to Jiuge City just to join Chu Ci's command.
In this way, after he dies, Chu Ci will take more care of Baicheng for his sake, and then he can feel at ease.
Thinking of this, Bai Shan showed a relaxed smile on his face.
"By the way, what exactly did Lord Chu Shen give me?"
Baishan suddenly remembered and quickly took out the white jade bottle.
When you remove the cork from the bottle, a refreshing fragrance hits your nostrils.
This fragrance contained an inexplicable energy. Just smelling it made the divine power in his body ready to move, and there were signs of recovery.
Looking at the milky white liquid in the white jade bottle, Bai Shan was stunned.
Looking back towards the direction of the temple, Bai Shan let out a long sigh.
"Lord Chu Shen, I, Baishan...sigh."
Inside the temple.
Chu Ci murmured in a low voice: "Want to take care of me? No way, you should stay in Baicheng alone."
The white jade bottle that Chu Ci gave to Baishan was one of the new results of his research in this retreat - the spiritual milk stone liquid specially designed to restore divine power.
A bottle of spiritual milk stone liquid can instantly restore a thousand points of divine power to the spirit, which is enough for Bai Shan to use it several times.
In order to find a way to restore his divine power, Chu Ci spent a lot of effort.
Hot spring water, thousands of stones, jasper trees...
Chu Ci basically tried everything that existed in the virtual world, and finally found that only two things could restore divine power after being refined.
One is the jasper tree. After being refined by the All-Things Array, it will turn into a ball of turquoise liquid, which can restore 200 points of divine power to the gods.
Another one is the spiritual milk stone in the underground cave, which can be refined into spiritual milk stone liquid.
Chu Ci didn't even expect that these spiritual milk stones could be refined into spiritual liquid that could restore divine power. He originally just wanted to give it a try, but it gave him a big surprise.
Speaking of which, the two materials that can restore divine power are exactly the same as the materials of cyanite and amethyst. They are both trees and ores. The two should have something in common.
If commonalities can be found, does that mean that red crystal materials can also be replaced accordingly? By then, it may be possible to develop a divine power restoration item that is more effective than the spiritual milk stone liquid.
But for now, Lingru Stone Liquid is enough, and there is no need to study other ones.
For Chu Ci, there was now something that he needed to deal with as soon as possible.
Source damage!
After this period of practice, Chu Ci gradually discovered that damage to the source also had an impact on his practice.
It is not obvious when he is a lower god, but it is much more obvious when he is a middle god. When he operates the mysterious method he inherited, there will always be a trace of divine power escaping through his body.
This caused his cultivation efficiency to drop a lot.
Not only that, but it is also the same when I am enlightening under the Enlightenment Tree. I sometimes feel uneasy.
Through telekinesis, Chu Ci knew that this was due to damage to the origin.
The origin is the foundation of the gods. If it is missing a little bit, it will be fine, and the impact will not be that big. But Chu Ci is missing more than a little bit, he is missing as much as 30%.
Such a big gap will naturally affect Chu Ci's normal cultivation and understanding.
Moreover, Chu Ci had a vague feeling in his heart that if the origin was not restored, he could not go to Wushan to find the second inheritance, otherwise his life might be in danger.
Therefore, Chu Ci decided to first solve the hidden dangers of the origin of the gods and go to the God Realm to find the God of Medicine!
Originally, Chu Ci was hesitant about whether to wait a little longer and wait for the expansion period of the temple to end before going to the God Realm, but now Bai Shan's arrival has solved his concerns.
Even if any trouble does arise during the expansion of the temple's power, Baishan can come forward to solve it, and there is no need for him to sit here.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci decided to pack up and head to the God Realm.
The God of Medicine had told him before that he would go out to get the main medicine, but he didn't know if he had gone there now.
If he didn't go, he could go and have a look. There must be a lot of natural and earthly treasures in the place that could be noticed by the God of Medicine, and maybe he could bring some back.
I just don’t know how dangerous it is. The God of Medicine said that you need at least a middle-level god to enter that place, so you don’t end up trying to get rid of it and end up getting yourself in instead.
While Chu Ci was thinking, a secret power of law suddenly descended on Jiuge City.
