731: Complete control of the Yongjiang River system! The Supreme Lord of Yongjiang was terrified!

At a river hub within the Yongjiang Water Mansion.

Using the control this place held over the surrounding rivers and the Eternal River, Su Lie continuously released Xuanhuang Power.

In just over half an hour.

The Xuanhuang Power had spread to the Honghe River basin, merging with the Xuanhuang Power hidden there.

Xuanhuang Power permeated the surroundings in the form of elemental particles.

Furthermore, it did so in a concealed manner.

Thus, the surrounding creatures did not notice it.

Coupled with the assistance of the river hub in the Yongjiang Water Mansion.

Su Lie released Mysterious Yellow Energy with half the effort and twice the result, and the Speed of erosion was exceptionally fast.

At this time, Yongjiang High Venerable was distributing a large number of Plant Puppet seeds.

These seeds were condensed by Su Lie consuming lifespan and Xuanhuang Power.

Each seed consumed 10 years of Su Lie's lifespan.

He had condensed a total batch of 1 trillion seeds.

Because.

The total number of soldiers and generals in the Yongjiang Water Mansion was 1 trillion.

The required total for each of the other twelve rivers was 100 million, but most were short of that number.

And the strength of the soldiers in the Yongjiang Water Mansion was higher than those in the branches of the twelve rivers.

Therefore, Su Lie did not manufacture additional Plant Puppet seeds to enslave the soldiers of the other waterways.

This time, he consumed a total of 10 trillion points of Xuanhuang attributes and 10 trillion years of lifespan.

While Su Lie continued to use the hub of the Yongjiang Water Mansion to cover the domain of the Eternal River water system within the range of the seven river basins with Xuanhuang Power.

A Snail Banshee walked up to Su Lie and said respectfully, "Great God! My master asked me to inform you that all 9 remaining First Rank Divine Officials governing the 12 rivers under the Eternal River water system have arrived at the palace's assembly hall! And they have all drunk the Spirit Water!"

"In addition, the Great Commanders under these 12 river branch Divine Officials have also gathered outside the doors, and each has eaten a bowl of Lotus Seed Soup bestowed by the High Venerable!"

Both the Spirit Water and the Lotus Seed Soup contained Plant Puppet seeds.

Upon hearing this, Su Lie immediately stopped his work, a brilliant light flashing in his eyes: "Good! Good! Good! Next is the promotion to Second Turn Divine Official!"

Excited, he left the hub and strode toward the assembly hall.

Along the way, every river monster he encountered knelt and shouted, "Master!"

When he arrived outside the hall.

The various river monster Great Commanders from the twelve water systems were momentarily stunned. Just as they were about to attack Su Lie in a rage, they all stopped.

Clatter!

The Great Commanders knelt on the ground en masse, shouting in unison: "Greetings, Master!"

Inside the hall, the nine remaining Water Palace Divine Officials of the Eternal River suddenly stood up.

The Crab General guarding the Blood River Divine Official roared angrily: "You damned mongrel! Your master is here!"

"Outsider! Outsider!"

The Fly River Divine Official's legs went weak with fear, and he crawled directly under a table.

The Shadow River Divine Official gripped the saber at his waist.

When Su Lie turned to look at them.

All the Divine Officials shuddered.

"Kneel!"

Su Lie said indifferently.

Clatter!

A bizarre scene occurred: the nine Divine Officials, along with Yongjiang High Venerable, all knelt on the ground together.

Yongjiang High Venerable thought smugly: "Kneel! Kneel! You country bumpkins, with your lowly bloodlines, becoming the Master's subordinates is a glory you wouldn't get in eight lifetimes!"

"What a pity!"

"Although that fellow Honghe's bloodline was precious, he died too early!"

He no longer thought about anything else.

The nine Divine Officials were just as shocked as Yongjiang High Venerable had been when he was controlled.

Their psychological defenses quickly crumbled, and each began to greet Su Lie as warmly as if they were seeing their own father.

Su Lie nodded and immediately immobilized all nine Divine Officials.

He once again used his Divine Thief Talent.

As he continuously stole the power of the various Divine Officials.

In an instant, the nine Divine Officials turned into piles of dirt on the ground.

Nine divine official seals appeared on the floor.

This completely terrified Yongjiang High Venerable, who was standing to the side.

In his eyes, Su Lie's actions were like those of a Primary God.

Yongjiang High Venerable was so scared he wet his pants.

Outside the door, the Great Commanders of the twelve branches who witnessed everything in the hall were even more terrified. Their legs went soft, and they prostrated themselves on the ground, crying out "Master, have mercy," not even having the courage to stand up and greet him.

Su Lie ignored them and proceeded to convert the lifespan pearls of these 9 Divine Officials into his own lifespan one by one.

This earned him 400,000 years of lifespan.

Along with 9,000 free attribute points.

Su Lie also used 9 Strength attribute orbs and 9 Spirit attribute orbs.

The Strength attribute orbs provided Su Lie with a total of 4,001 Jing of Strength, and 6,000 Jing 6,000 trillion points of Spirit.

"Among these 9 Divine Officials, some had Strength that reached the peak, while others were like the Black River and Long River Divine Officials! It seems the quality of Divine Officials varies!"

Seeing this, Su Lie formed a judgment about the Divine Officials under the Eternal River.

Afterward.

Su Lie took the 9 lower-level aquatic bloodline orbs of the Divine Officials and 9 life attribute orbs with an average life attribute value of around 500 Jing.

Along with 9 Wave Transformation Talents, 9 Water Speak Talents, 9 Authority Talents, 2 Shapeshifting Talents, and 3 Invulnerability Talents.

9 Water Escape Skills, 9 Wave Control Skills, and 9 Great Flood Skills.

A total of 59 Skill books were stored inside the hollow insect bone.

After dealing with these useless items.

Only one Skill book titled Water Control remained in Su Lie's hand.

Su Lie used his Identification Talent to look at this Skill.

[Hum!]

[Skill Book (Water Control): Red Divine Grade the rules Quality Skill;]

Consumes 1 million Spirit attribute points to manipulate water elements contained within designated areas, individual targets, group targets, plants, matter, water elements, or living beings.

Note: You can directly extract water elements from a target or replenish them.]

"This Skill is truly beyond imagination!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He then used the Skill book.

After the awakening was complete.

Su Lie looked at the nine Divine Seals on the table.

As he merged them one after another.

Notifications of unsealing Talents continuously appeared in Su Lie's vision.

Su Lie responded to each one.

After he merged the 10th Divine Seal.

A notification appeared in Su Lie's vision.

[Hum!]

[You have reached the qualifications to promote to a Second Turn Divine Official. Do you wish to activate the Divine Thunder Baptism?]

After thinking, Su Lie did not respond but merged another Divine Seal instead.

[Hum!]

After he merged this Divine Seal.

A notification for unsealing a Talent appeared in Su Lie's vision.

At the same time.

Another notification from the the ruless appeared.

[Hum!]

[Since you have exceeded the quota for merging divine official seals, your upcoming Divine Thunder Baptism will increase from one bolt to two!]

[Note: Regardless of how many First Rank Divine Official Seals you merge, the more you merge, the greater the power of the Divine Thunder Baptism you will endure, and the greater the damage. The bonus effects obtained will be the same as merging 10 Divine Seals!]

"Holy sh*t! Is this an anti-slaughter mechanism?"

Su Lie smiled slightly and then looked at his Talent list.

By now.

He had unsealed 9 more Talents.

Although merging one extra Talent didn't provide much additional benefit for the post-tribulation promotion, it allowed him to unseal more Talents.

[Talents: Environmental Adaptation (Red), Mist Speak (Red), Discernment (Red), Divine Thief (Red), Immobilization Technique (Red), Thunder (Red), Imperial Thunder (Red), Xuanhuang (Red), Spider Sense (Red),]

Void Six Roots (Red), Contract Book (Red), Auto-Pickup (Red), Eternal Youth (Red), Dark Vision (Red), Gun God (Red), Dark Harvest (Red), Damage Tyrant (Red), Purple Mansion (Red)... Life Steal (Red), Water Speak (Red), Wave Transformation (Red), Control Immunity (Red), Invulnerability (Red), Shapeshifting (Red), Authority (Red), Decomposition (Red), Plant Puppet (Red), Immortal Bean (Red), Card Containment (Red) (Other Talents are sealed)]

"Haha! My confidence is really growing! I'm still missing a spear!... And the unsealing of the Purple Mansion Talent is perfect timing! Ten years, condensing 1 Divine Sense every day, can at least let me condense 3,650 Divine Senses!"

Su Lie couldn't help but laugh after seeing this.

These Talents were all of great use to Su Lie.

Especially Gun God, Dark Harvest, and Damage Tyrant.

These were the rules powers that could directly increase Su Lie's damage.

Subsequently.

He summoned the Honghe Divine Seal.

The Divine Seal now had 8 additional the ruless.

They were as follows:

[the rules Inheritance: You can designate an heir. If you die unexpectedly, the divine official seal you possess will automatically teleport to your designated heir's hands. No power or item can stop it.]

[the rules Water System Bonus: All your water-based Skills and Talents will temporarily receive a 100x overall data bonus when used.]

[the rules Judgment: In the name of a Divine Official, you will activate the the ruless to judge a designated target. If the judgment passes, the target will suffer the punishment of a Heavenly Tribulation.]

[the rules Dredging: You can instantly dredge a riverbed.]

[the rules Water Vein Creation: You can create a waterway by consuming a certain amount of Spirit power.]

[the rules Appointment: Subordinates you appoint will receive the rules tasks and have the authority to compete for and merge divine official seals.]

[the rules Territory: You can enact a the rules within your jurisdiction. If any life form violates the the rules, it will trigger a Heavenly Punishment and be marked. You can find the target through the mark.]

[the rules Resources: You can cultivate a type of water resource within your jurisdiction, which will receive the rules empowerment. Empowerment: Growth Speed increased by 10x, harvest yield increased by 10x, and immunity to pests and diseases.]

"It seems merging more Talents is useless; it can only add a maximum of 10 the rules powers to the Divine Seal!"

Su Lie sighed after seeing this.

He then turned to the Great Commanders of the twelve river systems outside and used the Proxy the rules and Appointment the rules on them one by one: "From now on, you will act as my proxies in governing each river system, managing the ecology, life, public order, and safety of these basins!..."

He said a lot.

The Great Commanders breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly knelt, kowtowing in wild joy to express their gratitude.

After Su Lie finished explaining the corresponding requirements, he ordered these Great Commanders to return to their respective rivers and take up residence in the Water Palaces to complete the tasks he had arranged.

At this moment.

The Carp Monster from the Honghe River knelt and looked at Su Lie, saying: "Great Master! I want to know, the one who arranged my tasks this past month..."

"It was me!"

Su Lie smiled faintly.

This Carp Monster was his chief steward in the Honghe Water Palace, managing all affairs.

The Carp Monster's way of doing things put Su Lie at ease; it was not only efficient but also extremely fast.

Therefore.

Su Lie had long ago dismissed the Crab General and made the Carp Monster the general of the Honghe Water Palace, as well as its Great Commander.

The Carp Monster was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly knelt: "My Lord! Please rest assured! This carp will definitely not fail your mission!"

It quickly scrambled up and left with its head held high.

Su Lie turned to the terrified Yongjiang High Venerable, who was slumped on the floor, and said: "I am going outside to undergo my tribulation! You maintain the affairs of the Water Palace! If it alarms the surrounding Divine Officials, just say a younger member of your clan has come here to undergo their tribulation!"

Splash!

Yongjiang High Venerable stood up immediately, then hurriedly knelt again and said solemnly: "My Lord! Old Day Thunder, one of the twelve Primary Gods, governs all divine lightning in the world. This heavenly punishment is a lightning punishment and will be seen by Old Day Thunder!"

"Although he may not necessarily pay attention to a First Rank Divine Official's promotion to Second Rank, just in case, please transform into this appearance to remain safe!"

As he spoke.

He took out a palm-sized piece of glazed jade from his pocket.

Su Lie took the jade piece and saw that under the refraction of light, it projected a figure.

This figure's appearance was almost identical to Yongjiang High Venerable, but with subtle differences.

Yongjiang High Venerable hurriedly explained: "This is my younger brother! I also just learned that he is looking for a place to undergo his tribulation and promote to a Second Turn Divine Official in the next month or two! If you use his identity, there will be absolutely no problem!"

"Hmm? A Primary God can see me through the Divine Thunder... then when I crossed the Heavenly Tribulation before... No! No! If he had already seen me, then what was with the people trying to divine me later?"

Su Lie's eyelid twitched upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but secretly warn himself: "It seems I should try not to appear in areas where Divine Thunder occurs using my own image! If those Primary Gods find out, they might go crazy!"
