Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 109 - 96 Inviting Gods into the Temple, Four Demon Gods Chosen_2
The temples of the Divine Monarchs are not located in the three cities, but scattered across the planet.
The ecology of the Four Guardian Stars is not conducive to human habitation, and the Federation's efforts to transform them seem to be limited to the three cities.
Ji Jingqiu took the starship provided by the Star Division to the Divine Temple. Along the way, he could see the desolate land full of traces left by Martial Artists.
Fist imprints, blade marks, sword scars...
Standing high in the air and looking down, he could see a distinct fan-shaped mark between the vast mountain ranges, as if a Martial Artist had wiped away half a mountain range with a single punch.
...
By the time Ji Jingqiu arrived at the Guardian Temple situated in the wilderness, it was five o'clock in the evening.
"Is it closed?"
"Hehe, young brother, come back tomorrow morning," said the temple guardian with a smile, "If you don't want to go back, you can stay in the side hall and then enter and worship the Divine Monarch after the temple opens in the morning."
Ji Jingqiu looked helpless. He was on a tight schedule. Did he really have to wait here until the temple opened tomorrow?
"You've come all this way, young man, let him in. The Guardian God will surely not mind."
Just as Ji Jingqiu was preparing to head to the side hall.
An elder suddenly walked out from behind him and spoke indifferently.
Upon seeing the old man, the guardian Martial Artist clearly showed a respectful demeanor and before he could reply, a Priest happened to come by and said with a smile:
"Well, since you are here on behalf of the Dragon Tiger Dojo, you are considered one of our people. Come, I will take you to meet the Divine Monarch."
Ji Jingqiu turned around to thank the elder for speaking up for him, and he subtly guessed that this person, who could change the attitude of the temple Priest, must have no ordinary identity.
Perhaps he was a senior figure from the Dragon Tiger Dojo, and seeing that Ji had come with the dojo's nominative spot, had casually spoken up on his behalf.
The elder didn't say much else, waved his hand to indicate that Ji could enter, then turned and left.
The Priest led Ji Jingqiu into the spacious Divine Temple, explaining various points of attention along the way.
For instance, to invite a wisp of Divine Intent into oneself, one first had to bathe and change clothes to show respect, then light incense to worship God, and recite scriptures before the Divine Monarch's seat...
Listening to so many meticulous etiquettes, Ji Jingqiu fell silent for a moment.
It takes half a day of preliminary work to invite a God?
This is too formalized!
God should be kept in the heart, not just on the surface!
Ji raised his head and looked towards the center of the Divine Temple, where the Guardian God's statue stood tall, imposing and authoritative, awe-inspiring respect.
If he hadn't sensed incorrectly on the evening at the East Three Bright Star...
Ji Jingqiu halted his steps quietly, the Priest ahead had continued walking, apparently not yet noticing.
Ji Jingqiu clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and slowly bowed three times, silently reciting the name of the Guardian God in his heart.

The Priest ahead happened to turn back and see this scene, his expression suddenly becoming serious, both irritated and helpless.
This child is too impatient!
Hopefully, this act will not anger the Divine Monarch.
He was about to step forward to prevent him, when a profound and mysterious aura descended, and a deep and inscrutable shadow loomed over the Divine Temple, and in an instant the atmosphere was filled with a solemn killing intent.
The Guardian God actually responded to this kid, manifesting a divine Descent!
The Priest immediately knelt down to listen to the Divine Thought, his expression soon changing again. He heard a long sigh in the void, and the Guardian God had rarely expressed an emotion similar to aversion...
He looked up to see that Ji Jingqiu had at some point sat cross-legged,
He sighed, not knowing where this child had offended the Divine Monarch.
He lifted his foot to move forward, to expel this child for the Divine Monarch.
He personally had no ill feelings toward the child; it was just impatience, but now the Divine Monarch had conveyed annoyance. Even if a master had just spoken for the child, as the temple Priest, he must step forward to expel him!
It was at this moment that a white light shot from the eyebrow of the statue into Ji Jingqiu's brow.
The Priest's raised foot hung in midair.
Confusion on his face.
The Divine Monarch disliked the child, yet blessed him anyway, why?
No, that does not seem to be the meaning of aversion.
Rather...
Reluctance?
Serving the Divine Monarch for many years, now at the age of two hundred, the Priest encountered the first inexplicable event of his life.
At that moment, a surge of Evil Qi cascaded down like a heavenly waterfall towards Ji Jingqiu below.
The Priest inhaled sharply; the Divine Monarch was actually using His own murderous Evil Qi to help the child refine his spirit?!
This was the treatment reserved for the Divine Chosen!
...
Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged, with his Heart Fire swaying like a lone lamp amidst a storm.
As if in the deep Void, a pair of chaotic and profound tiger eyes opened and gazed steadily, locking onto him.
The endless, chilly killing intent washed down from above, washing over his spirit. Even with his Residence cultivation to stabilize his mind, constantly reminding himself it was just an illusion, it was still in vain.
Was this the trial of Inviting Gods into the Temple?
Just as he was about to not withstand it and was preparing to retreat to his Inner Realm, a reluctant sigh rang in his ear.
[Did you not come to seek me to sharpen your blade?]
Ji Jingqiu received a blessing to the spirit, entering the Inner Realm, refining the Ten Thousand Ancient Blade in his heart with the military Evil Qi bestowed by the Guardian God.
[Let me ask you, do you truly want to help that Ji surname child break the Sixth Limit?]
Ji Jingqiu was puzzled and asked in his mind: "Divine Monarch, you know about this too?"
[This matter is of great significance, we have been paying attention to it.]
Ji Jingqiu's spirit lifted: "May I ask the Divine Monarch, why would the Federation's upper echelon want to..."
The Guardian God suddenly interrupted him:
[What do you want to ask, fairness? What fairness exists in this world? Is it fair that you were born in hell? Is it fair that scions are born into noble families? Is it fair that Zhuang Butong was born with Martial Wisdom? There is no fairness in the world, only choices.]
[Furthermore, on this matter, the Federation does not owe Zhuang Butong anything. Had we not guarded this place, he would have become an Evil God puppet thirty-one years ago.]
