Infinite Professions

Comprehensive development, choose Creation.

Extreme combat power, choose Destruction.

Shen Hex pondered for a long time and ultimately chose the former.

God of Creation!

The reason for choosing it is simple: considering overall strategy and long-term development.

Those who do not plan for the ages are not fit to plan for a moment!

Although the neighbor hoards grain and I hoard guns, the neighbor is my granary, extreme powerful combat strength can indeed aid development, but it ultimately has a limit, after all, you can’t keep robbing forever.

Once the world is unified, and all the lands are within grasp, whom can you rob?

Therefore, the God of Destruction’s aid in development is quite limited.

Shen Hex places great importance on development because, as a Transmigrator, he has the ability to dream of all heavens and wander across myriad worlds, farming is his fundamental practice, as well as his powerful tool, relying on farming production, developing forces, and ultimately achieving great power, sweeping across the world. This move has repeatedly proven effective.

Therefore, whether his real-world self, or the Taiyuan Body, or the divine incarnation that will visit other worlds in the future, all need this developmental power.

In comparison, although the extreme combat power brought by the God of Destruction is also valuable, its applicability and practicality are not as good as those of the God of Creation.

Additionally, the God of Creation can also enhance combat power, it’s just more conservative in nature, tending towards defense and recovery, lacking the extreme offensiveness of the God of Destruction.

But Shen Hex wants conservatism.

In the Battle of Lanruo, due to the severe backlash from extreme moves, he suffered great damage to his Primordial Qi. He knows well that the "glass cannon" situation is undesirable. When it comes to life and death, being steady is better, even if it can’t win quickly or even win at all. As long as life remains, everything can be started anew.

In this regard, stable recovery and defense are vastly superior to extreme attacks. Shen Hex does not want every battle to result in killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred, or even result in burning jade and stone together, with no remnants left.

Therefore...

"Professional Advancement Successful!"

"You have obtained a new profession: God of Creation!"

"You have acquired a new talent: Return of All Things!"

"Professional Talent [Earth Golden Body] advances and strengthens to [Earth Undying Golden Body]"

"Professional Talent [Earth Yellow Turban] advances and strengthens to [Earth Creation Daoist Soldiers]"

Earth Undying Golden Body: Incense gathers Merit and Virtue to form the Earth Golden Body, unafraid of Divine Dao and Human Dao powers, demon magic, and necessary consumption can enhance divine art power, or manifest in the human realm. Those who destroy the Earth Golden Body are evil demons and will suffer backlash from the Human Dao, celestial punishment, and the Earth Golden Body is connected to land and mountains, as one entity, unmovable, and possesses creation ability, and indestructible power. As long as no sin incurs damage, all consumed blessings and merits can autonomously recover.

Earth Creation Daoist Soldiers: Regularly act as Dharma Protectors before the altar, whenever descending to subdue demons, Yellow Turban Warriors under Heaven and Earth act as protectors, the consumption of divine power for consecrating Yellow Turban Warriors is substantially reduced, and they receive blessings of Fortune Golden Light, Power of the Earth, and Power of Creation. Fortune Golden Light can resist evil magic, Power of the Earth connects to the earth, and Power of Creation can transform all things.

...

After advancement, there was even surprise, with two major talents obtaining enhancement.

Earth Undying Golden Body!

No need for much explanation, it’s his Divine Dao body’s strongest defensive measure, originally the Blessed Golden Body of Lord Merit and Virtue, later advancing to the Earth Golden Body of the Earth God, and now with the power of the God of Creation, it has thrice advanced to become the Earth Undying Golden Body.

It has three major characteristics: one is the power of blessings and merits from Lord Merit and Virtue, its feature of being immune to all techniques and banishing evil, constitutes the primary defense of the Golden Body, ordinary methods can hardly cause harm, only Supreme Destiny Divine Light-like specialized methods, or Emperor’s Dragon Qi-level high power can break through.

The second is the Earth Power of the Earth God, as long as standing on the earth, it can connect with the land, like a mountain, deeply rooted and significantly enhancing defensive power, also having certain "Overlord Body" characteristics, difficult for ordinary people to shake.

Finally is the Power of Creation from the God of Creation, which acts on recovery. Unless offset by Karmic Force equivalent to blessings and merits, any consumption of blessings and merits by the Earth Golden Body can autonomously recover, constituting indestructibility.

This aspect is extremely important.

Previously, Shen Hex had his Merit Golden Body broken by that Supreme Destiny Divine Light, and hundreds of years worth of accumulated merits vanished without a trace and couldn’t be recovered, only could be reaccumulated.

But after advancing to God of Creation, such situations will not occur again. Even if the same method breaks his Merit Golden Body again, it can only temporarily remove it, unable to permanently diminish his blessings and merits, which can return after a period.

It shows the power of the God of Creation, able to autonomously recover even conceptual high powers like blessings and merits, without any cost, seemingly breaking the law of energy conservation.

This is the Earth Undying Golden Body.

As for Earth Creation Daoist Soldiers, they similarly provide Shen Hex’s subordinate Divine Dao Soldiers with a "reduced version" of Earth Undying Golden Body, possessing partial Fortune Golden Light, Power of the Earth, and Power of Creation. Although less in quality and quantity compared to Shen Hex, it remains a huge advantage over other deities.

This advanced talent can compensate for Shen Hex’s foundational shortcomings, allowing his less than a century nurtured subordinate Divine Dao Soldiers to match those elite Daoist Soldiers and High-level Subordinate Gods refined over millennia by Third-Rank Great Gods.

With this empowerment, if reenacting the Battle of Lanruo, Song Wu and other Golden Sun Deities, as well as the Six Departments and Four Divisions of Daoist Soldiers, would definitely not be suppressed by the Weishui Navy and Jinling Prefecture Soldiers.
