Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

It was a little hard for it to imagine that after being canonized as the river god by Lin Nan, it could actually be recognized by the heaven and obtain the divine power granted by heaven. This was unbelievable just by thinking about it.

Therefore, the old turtle was a little shaken: "Will the Heavenly Court really approve of it?"

Thinking about it, the old turtle looked at Lin Nan.

Obviously, whether the Heavenly Court can recognize him as a "wild god" depends on Lin Nan.

Just as the old turtle was feeling confused, something strange suddenly happened in the sky.

Suddenly, heavenly music resounded between heaven and earth.

There was fairy music floating in the sky, colorful clouds swirling, and an atmosphere of peace.

Many immortals and gods appeared to celebrate the birth of the river god of Chechi Kingdom.

The flower petals drifted down from the sky, accompanied by the passionate sound of drums, adding a touch of extraordinary atmosphere to this quiet moment.

On the land of Chechi Kingdom, an unprecedented spectacle is taking place, and the whole country seems to be trembling at this moment.

The people, from the king and his ministers to the common people, all looked up and witnessed this amazing scene.

In the sky, auspicious clouds spread out like a scroll, covering the entire sky.

Above the auspicious clouds, the golden-armored gods stood majestically, the fairies danced gracefully, and the heavenly soldiers held musical instruments and played the sounds of nature. All of this was accompanied by the melodious melody of the fairy music, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity.

At this time, Taibai Jinxing slowly descended from the sky on auspicious clouds, accompanied by the rhythm of celestial music. In his hand, he held a personal edict from the Jade Emperor, which carried the will and majesty of the heavenly court.

"I am Taibai Jinxing. I have come here on the orders of the Jade Emperor to read out his decree." Taibai Jinxing's voice was loud and powerful, resounding through the sky.

After that, he slowly unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read out word by word: "Your Majesty, in view of the fact that Chechi Kingdom has no river god to protect it, I hereby order Master Mingxuan from the lower world to confer the title of god on behalf of Chechi Kingdom. The Jade Emperor approves of this..."

The content of the edict undoubtedly showed the Jade Emperor's concern and understanding of Chechi State's affairs. He highly praised the achievements of Lin Nan, the great state teacher, and believed that he was conscientious and worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, so he specially rewarded him.

After his praise, the Jade Emperor officially issued the "Jade Seal", conferring upon Lao Yuan the title of the true river god of Chechi State, in charge of the waters of Tongtian River.

After Taibai Jinxing finished reading the edict, he walked forward with a smile and handed the edict to Lin Nan.

"Master Lin Nan, I didn't expect that we would meet again in the human world so soon." Taibai Jinxing's words were full of kindness and friendliness.

Although the protagonist of the edict was the old turtle, Taibai Jinxing seemed to be more concerned about Lin Nan and didn't even look at the old turtle.

Lin Nan took the imperial edict and immediately felt the powerful force contained in it.

This is not just an imperial edict, but also a symbol of jade seal, carrying the majesty and power of the priesthood.

Lin Nan did not hesitate. He raised his hand and threw the Jade Emperor's edict in his hand into the air.

The edict drew a graceful arc in the air and finally landed steadily on the old turtle.

The old turtle suddenly felt a tremendous force surging into his body. His soul underwent a drastic change at this moment and turned into a divine soul, the so-called divine origin.

At the same time, his soul was awakened and he comprehended many magical powers belonging to the "River God".

From this moment on, the old turtle developed a deep connection with Tongtian River, and he truly became the guardian of this river.

"I...I really became the river god?" The old turtle murmured in disbelief. He felt the divine talisman condensed in his soul, and his heart was filled with shock and excitement.

He was indeed worshipped as the river god of Chechi State, and was recognized by the Heavenly Court and given a divine position.

This was undoubtedly an opportunity for him to rise to fame overnight.

At this time, Taibai Jinxing and Lin Nan were talking cordially. Taibai Jinxing smiled and said, "When the Jade Emperor saw that it was a Taoist friend who wrote the letter, he immediately summoned the immortals from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Thunder, and the Ministry of Rain to come together to celebrate the canonization of the River God of Chechi Kingdom."

Lin Nan smiled and nodded, he had already realized something in his heart.

When he handed over the first "Wu Tian Jinque Request for Grace Imperial Tablet", there was no response from the heavens. It was precisely because of this that he had to use the "Yangping Zhidu Merit Seal".

Obviously, the power of this seal was beyond imagination. After it was used, the commotion it caused was so huge that even he himself was caught off guard.

"Fellow Daoist Mingxuan, congratulations!" Congratulations came from all around.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, for enthroning the River God for Chechi Kingdom." The immortals congratulated Lin Nan one after another.

At this time, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas also arrived. They surrounded Lin Nan, expressing their joy of meeting him again and congratulating him.

However, they did not seem to be very interested in the protagonist of this deification, the old turtle, and did not even look at him.

Instead, it was the Tiger Power Immortal, Sheep Power Immortal, and Deer Power Immortal behind Lin Nan who caught their attention.

These three Taoist monsters are rare in the fairy world, so they couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

Under the altar, the king, ministers and many people of Chechi State were already stunned. They witnessed everything that happened in the sky and could not believe their eyes.

The legendary immortals in heaven, the Dragon Kings in the four seas, the fairy heavenly soldiers...all gathered together because of the great state teacher Lin Nan!
Even Taibai Jinxing and the Four Dragon Kings in the sky specially greeted Lin Nan, and it seemed that this was not the first time they met.

This scene caused a lot of discussion among the people of Chechi State.

"Do the great master and the gods in heaven know each other well?"

"Do the Four Seas Dragon Kings really know the Grand Master?"

"It turns out that what several state masters said about the four sea dragon kings coming in person when the great state master prayed for rain was not a lie!"

"The Grand Master is mighty!"

The entire Chechi Kingdom was immersed in the melody of fairy music and the graceful dance of fairies.

After exchanging pleasantries with Lin Nan, the Four Seas Dragon Kings said goodbye and left. They were not really leaving, but had important matters to attend to.

Lin Nan also understood this, and he thanked the four sea dragon kings specially: "I will trouble you a lot more."

"No problem, no problem."

"a piece of cake."

"It's just a little effort!"

The four Dragon Kings responded with a smile, then jumped up in one direction.

Waves of dull dragon roars were heard, and they revealed their true forms - four majestic dragon kings.

This change made the people of Chechi Kingdom exclaim in surprise.

Looking up, I saw four dragon kings flying and circling in the sky. They used their innate magical powers and divine authority to guide the water veins for Chechi Kingdom.

The original Chechi Kingdom had no water veins and could only rely on external water.

Now, the Four Seas Dragon Kings have brought in the water veins, which means that the water source rivers in Chechi will no longer dry up at will. This move shocked the entire Chechi nation.

The Four Dragon Kings seemed to be still unsatisfied. After guiding the water veins, they did not stop, but each landed in the river channel in Chechi country.

There were originally very few rivers in Chechi. Although they were slightly improved after artificial excavation, they were still not considered big rivers.

However, the passage of the Four Dragon Kings made the rivers in Chechi country wider!
And as the saying goes, "It's not the depth of the water that matters, but the presence of a dragon."

After the Four Dragon Kings traveled through the rivers of Chechi Kingdom, these rivers became truly beautiful.

When the four dragon kings completed these actions and returned, the immortals from the Ministry of Rites in Heaven had already finished celebrating.

The Four Seas Dragon King came forward to say goodbye to Lin Nan: "If you have time to travel to our Four Seas, please come to our Dragon Palace and stay there."

Lin Nan was filled with gratitude when he saw what the four dragon kings had done: "I will always remember the kindness of the dragon kings."

The Four Dragon Kings laughed and left. They felt that their actions were not in vain and at least they had earned a favor.

Taibai Jinxing and all the immortals from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Thunder also rode on the clouds to ascend to heaven and return to report.

The people of Chechi Kingdom all looked up and watched these immortals and gods leave.

As the immortals and gods gradually disappeared into the horizon, their eyes all fell on the tall altar in the Chechi Imperial City.

Lin Nan was standing on the altar in a Taoist robe, looking like an immortal. Behind him stood a group of immortals including the Tiger Power Immortal and the Deer Power Immortal.

In front of Lin Nan, the old turtle was crawling on the ground, emitting bursts of light.

The old turtle obtained the divine authority granted by the Heavenly Court but needed time to digest and absorb it.

At the same time, the desire of all the people in Chechi Kingdom to confer the title upon him also fell upon him, causing him to gradually transform from a monster into a "river god".

Under the altar, the King of Chechi, as well as other ministers and people were waiting quietly.

After a long while, the light on the old turtle became stronger and stronger, so that ordinary people could not look directly into the light.

When the light gradually dissipated, the old turtle had changed its appearance.

He turned into an old man with a tortoise shell on his back, with white hair and looking particularly kind.

This appearance is somewhat similar to the Turtle Prime Minister of the Dragon Palace and somewhat similar to the modern "Turtle Hermit".

The old turtle looked down at his own changes and was filled with surprise: "I have transformed?"

Although he had not completely transformed and was still wearing a tortoise shell, he was already very satisfied with the change.

Even carrying the turtle shell makes the old turtle feel more at ease.

Although he was surprised, the old turtle did not forget how he was able to transform. He immediately bowed to Lin Nan on the altar: "Old turtle... I would like to thank the great master for the grace of re-creating and conferring the title!"

Once the old turtle became the river god, he felt that his mind was much clearer and he was no longer as ignorant as before. He even changed his name from "old turtle" to "little god" to adapt to his new identity.

And he knew even more clearly that Lin Nan was the source of his transformation.

Lin Nan nodded slightly and said, "Now that you are the god of Chechi River, you must fulfill your responsibilities as the god of the river and protect the people well and put people first."

"I will remember this forever!" The old turtle nodded seriously and engraved these words deeply in his heart.

"In that case, go back to your place." Lin Nan waved his hand to signal the old turtle that he could leave.

After the old turtle thanked him again, he turned around and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

The people of Chechi Kingdom continued to be immersed in the shock and joy they had just experienced and could not calm down for a long time.

The old turtle solemnly performed a farewell ceremony, then nodded slightly to the king beside the altar and all the people present. His body flashed, and he turned into a stream of sparkling water light, and slid leisurely towards the river nearest to him.

This art of transformation is a unique ability he acquired after being named the River God.

As soon as it entered the river, the old turtle felt something very different from before, as if it were a fish returning to the water, and all sorts of magical powers began to emerge naturally.

As soon as he had a thought, a water palace seemed to appear in the river, and everything seemed to be so natural.

Looking at the "Chechi River God Temple" by the big river, it has now been completely renovated and turned into the "Yufeng Chechi River God Temple".

The word "Yufeng" is not added casually. It represents that this temple was personally conferred by the Jade Emperor and its status is very important.

The statues in the temple have also changed. The original image of the old turtle has been replaced by the image of a human carrying a turtle shell after the old turtle has transformed.

This series of changes can be called a "miracle" and is also the resonance between heaven and earth.

From then on, the old turtle truly became an orthodox god of the earth and the river, guarding the land and the river.

On the altar of Chechi Kingdom, the ceremony had ended. Lin Nan turned around and his eyes fell on the three demon gods.

“I was able to successfully become a god today, thanks to the great help from the three fellow Taoists.” Lin Nan said sincerely.

The three immortals shook their heads. Immortal Hu Li said modestly: "What we did were just ordinary things, not worth mentioning."

Immortal Luli also echoed: "The matter of deifying the gods is entirely your own ability, and we are just helping you."

"Yes, the three of us brothers only played a supporting role."

The three immortals were very sober and felt unworthy of Lin Nan's thanks.

On the contrary, their hearts were filled with gratitude towards Lin Nan.

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know when we could see such a spectacular scene." Hu Li Daxian was full of emotion. "The fairies and heavenly soldiers came to congratulate you, the four sea dragon kings were at your disposal, and Taibai Jinxing came with an imperial edict... We have practiced for many years and have never even heard of such a scene."

The words of the three great immortals were full of sincerity and awe.

Lin Nan shook his head and smiled calmly: "More than four hundred years ago, there was a Monkey King who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace. The scene was much bigger than this."

"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven?" The three immortals looked at each other in bewilderment; it was the first time they had heard of this name.

Although they practiced some mysterious sword techniques, they were very unfamiliar with the name Sun Wukong.

To some extent, these three immortals can be considered quite “homebodies” and they are not even aware of the major events that have taken place in the world in recent years.

This also shows that their practice is not yet complete and they have not yet understood the destiny.

However, since they followed Lin Nan, their knowledge and cultivation have become much stronger than before. They asked curiously: "Who is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven? How can he have such a name and dare to call himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

Lin Nan slowly explained: "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven is a natural stone monkey that was transformed from a fairy stone on the Flower and Fruit Mountain in Aolai Country in the East China Sea." (End of this chapter)
