Feral Gods Rise: My Offerings Return a Hundredfold

Three days later.

A mass of sickly green demonic cloud came flying in from the distance and descended upon Tiger Head Mountain, revealing an enormous spider.

It was a demon whose upper half took the form of a strikingly beautiful woman, while its lower half was the body of a spider.

The spider stood over eighteen meters tall, its eight legs as thick as towering ancient trees, their tips sharp as heavenly blades, reflecting a ghastly green and frigid light.

"Greetings, Sister!"

The Mountain Lord had already been waiting on the mountain. Upon seeing the spider demoness appear, he immediately went forward to meet her.

His voice was rough and coarse, yet carried a hint of warmth and familiarity.

His own body was already immense — standing over twelve meters tall and more than thirty meters in length — so massive that he looked like a small mountain peak standing atop the hill.

Yet even he had to crane his neck upward to look at the spider demoness.

"Tiger Brother, what business did you call me here for?"

"Are you asking Sister to help you deal with that old snake in Shunling River?"

The spider demoness looked down at the black ferocious tiger, her voice low and cruel.

Both of her eyes blazed with a sickly green radiance, and saliva occasionally dripped from the corners of her mouth, corroding the ground with a hissing sizzle.

The ferocity of her venom was plain to see.

"Sister, Tiger Brother will handle that old snake in Shunling River himself."

"If Sister were to act, I fear it would alarm the old venomous snake of 'Baifang Marsh.'"

The Mountain Lord shook his head, then grinned and said:

"Sister, please come inside first. Tiger Brother has specially prepared thirty tender and delectable two-legged sheep girls for Sister — guaranteed to satisfy."

A look of satisfaction appeared on the beautiful woman's face atop the spider demoness:

"Tiger Brother truly understands Sister."

"To maintain the most beautiful human form, Sister must eat more human girls."

"Only the blood and qi of human girls can mask Sister's demonic energy."

Whoosh —

In the next instant, demonic power surged across her massive body, and her entire form suddenly transformed into a delicate and charming young girl.

Not a stitch of clothing on her, her figure nothing short of perfect, she leapt up and landed on the Mountain Lord's back.

The Mountain Lord strode forward, heading toward his cave.

In his heart, he felt a touch of helplessness.

This Sister of his was excellent in every way — her strength far surpassed his own by a wide margin.

But she just loved mingling among the feeble humans, and was always fond of playing those games of romance and courtship with human scholars…

He truly could not understand it.

In his eyes, the feeble humans were nothing but food. What was there to enjoy?

A short while later.

The spider demoness, not a stitch of clothing on her, had already finished feasting on thirty human girls. She lay on the bed with a look of utter satisfaction, crooked a finger at the Mountain Lord, and said coyly:

"Tiger Brother… come play with Sister for a while…"

The Mountain Lord had no choice but to transform into a muscular human form and play along with the spider demoness.

He felt nothing for the spider demoness.

After all —

The only ones he had feelings for were female tigers.

It was a pity that the three female tigers he kept were all far too weak and too small.

A few days later.

The spider demoness lazily draped herself over the Mountain Lord and asked:

"Tiger Brother, what was it you called me here for?"

The Mountain Lord said in a deep voice:

"Sister, about twenty-odd li to the west of Cangmu Town, there is a village called Four Seas Village."

"Not long ago, a demon disguised itself as a deity there, came to my territory to steal human prey, and killed seven of my lesser demons."

"I sent the bear demon leader, the black dog demon leader, and the white horse demon leader to destroy it."

"But to my surprise, none of the three returned. That demon in Four Seas Village must have third-grade strength."

Upon hearing this, the spider demoness nodded:

"To have killed those three demons, it must certainly be a third-grade demon."

"Seeing as you've prepared human girls for Sister and made Sister so comfortable, Sister will accompany you on this trip."

The Mountain Lord was overjoyed and immediately played along with Sister once more…

The spider demoness let out a crisp, tinkling laugh of giggle, giggle, giggle…

Inside the Divine Domain.

Li Yue slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze shot forth with a powerful divine radiance, as though it could pierce through heaven and earth.

"What an incredible feeling…"

"Far, far stronger than when I was at the Ninth Grade (Lower)."

He sensed his divine body, which was at least five times more powerful than before, and a smile of joy spread across his lips.

This was the Ninth Grade (Upper)!

Though it was merely a change from "Lower" to "Upper,"

the difference in power was like heaven and earth.

He looked around the Divine Domain and found that it had expanded from its original ten-meter radius to a fifty-meter radius.

The radius was five times what it had been before, but the area was twenty-five times as large!

"The Divine Jurisdiction has also expanded greatly…"

He sensed the region covered by his Divine Path Rules.

What had originally been a Divine Jurisdiction of fifty qing had now directly reached one thousand qing!

How large was one thousand qing?

That was one hundred thousand mu.

In other words, approximately 66.67 square kilometers.

A region stretching just over sixteen li in length and just over sixteen li in width.

And the entirety of Four Seas Village, including the newly cultivated farmland, was only about eighty qing in total.

"Quite a few of the mountain peaks surrounding Four Seas Village, including the former Thousand Wolf Mountain, now fall within my Divine Jurisdiction."

"Thousand Wolf Mountain turns out to be a 'Ninth Grade (Lower) mountain peak,' possessing spiritual energy, and can have a Ninth Grade (Lower) Mountain God consecrated upon it."

Li Yue's eyes gleamed. With one step he left the Divine Domain, and with another he was already standing at the summit of Thousand Wolf Mountain.

Thousand Wolf Mountain was not particularly tall — only about eight hundred to eight hundred and forty meters in height.

However, its forests were dense. Ever since the wolf demons had been slain by him and the great number of wild wolves killed by the Warriors of Four Seas Village, other animals had gradually begun to appear on the mountain in greater numbers.

After all —

In the past, with the wolf demon residing here, those ordinary animals had instinctively dared not linger on Thousand Wolf Mountain.

But now that the wolf demon had long since perished, the spiritual energy on Thousand Wolf Mountain was far stronger than on the other peaks, and it naturally attracted many animals once more.

Though they were dim and unaware of it,

those animals were instinctively drawn to the spiritual energy to survive.

"A mountain with spiritual energy is naturally suited for cultivation."

"It is also suited for demons to transform."

Li Yue's expression was calm. His gaze seemed to pierce through the entire Thousand Wolf Mountain, seeing all the way to its deepest core.

There, a mass of extraordinarily dense spiritual energy resided, buried more than thirty thousand meters beneath the mountain's base.

This mass of spiritual energy slowly expanded and contracted, like the beating heart of a living creature.

With each contraction, it drew in the power of the earth from all directions.

With each expansion, it breathed out pure spiritual light, which merged into Thousand Wolf Mountain and nourished all living things within it.

"What a pity —"

"I have no Divine Path Law Fragments in hand, so I cannot consecrate a Mountain God on Thousand Wolf Mountain."

A faint trace of regret crossed his face.

Upon reaching the Ninth Grade (Upper) divine grade, he was now able to consecrate two Subordinate Deities of the Ninth Grade (Lower) divine grade.

However, although his divine grade had reached the Ninth Grade (Upper), his Divine Rank was still that of 'Ordained Earth God of Four Seas Village.'

Therefore, he could not consecrate an Earth God — only a Mountain God.

There could only be one Earth God for Four Seas Village, and that was him.

"One more step up in divine grade, and I will be able to consecrate an Earth God."

"But consecrating a deity requires Divine Path Law Fragments."

Li Yue murmured to himself.

How could one obtain Divine Path Law Fragments?

The only method he knew of right now was the Divine Battle!

By initiating a Divine Battle and achieving victory, one could obtain Divine Path Law Fragments to consecrate Subordinate Deities.

And the strength of those Subordinate Deities —

was directly tied to the outcome of the Divine Battle.

"Once the one-year mark arrives, I fear many Blue Star gods will immediately initiate Divine Battles…"

His eyes were calm.

But as far as he was concerned, he did not fear the Divine Battle at all — in fact, he was rather looking forward to it.

After all —

He was confident that with his current strength, he had absolutely reached the very pinnacle among all Blue Star gods!

Whoosh —

With a thought, he opened his Personal Status panel to check the changes that had come with his promotion to Ninth Grade (Upper).
