Bird Grandpa smacked his lips and gazed into the distance. Truth be told, he was quite curious to meet the deity of Liu Village.

A calamitous disaster was imminent and all beings at the noble level and above were terrified, scrambling to find ways to escape from this realm. Whilst others fled, one deity was doing the opposite. Not only that, but this deity seemed unabashed about its presence, almost like they wanted everyone to know. Bird Grandpa was puzzled and couldn’t make sense of it.

At that moment, another group of people approached. A bunch of brats wanted to pay Bird Grandpa and Boss Jing Bi for information about Liu Village.

“No, no. The only information we have is about Little Dot. Do you want it?” Bird Grandpa and Boss Jing Bi shook their heads, denying any knowledge of where Liu Village was. If it weren’t for recent rumors, they might not even know such a place existed.

“Ought we rely on you two for news of Little Dot? The word’s out already. They’re saying that the lad ended up at the North Sea, contending with others for the Kun Peng Divine Repository. But he was jointly executed there by several beings of Noble Level – his body had been shattered into bits!” The kids sneered, appalled by the outdated information these old fossils were trying to sell, treating them like fools.

“You children really have no idea. He isn’t actually dead. He’s just hiding somewhere you wouldn’t know. When he makes his next appearance, it will shake the entire Wilderness. If you pay a hundred Pure Wall coins, we’ll tell you where he is. How about it? Isn’t that cheap enough?”

Boss Jing Bi’s eyes lit up, his voice had an enticing humoring tone to it.

Sure enough, one or two of the kids were intrigued.

Although a hundred Pure Wall coins was not a small sum, it wasn’t exorbitant either. They could afford it. They were desperate to discover the whereabouts of their hero.

But as they were preparing to hand over the money, an older boy passing by stopped them.

“Got too many Pure Wall coins to spare? Let’s go. Don’t you know these two by reputation? Buying news from them is a rip-off. If any part of what they say is true, consider it charity on their part!”

The older boy looked stern. It seemed he’d been tricked by these two conmen before, costing him numerous Pure Wall coins. Hence, he promptly warned the other kids to leave the spot.

“Bird Man, I believe we need to take action now,” Boss Jing Bi sighed dejectedly, observing the retreating kids.

It had been ages since any business came his way. The number of Pure Wall coins in his pocket hadn’t increased for a fortnight, which deeply distressed him. In his view, not making a profit each day was equivalent to making a loss. “How do we take action?” the bird raised an eyebrow, showing signs of interest. Both of their true bodies had been sealed at different locations. Apart from wandering around aimlessly in the Void God Realm, they were unable to go anywhere else. Given these circumstances, what action were they supposed to take?

“We could tell them we know where Liu Village is. Let’s give them a place none of us have ever been to and let them go look for it!” Boss Jing Bi blurted, disgruntled.

“That’s quite a good idea!” Bird Grandpa mused for a moment and agreed.

It was indeed a good idea. After all, they had never sold accurate information before. One more wouldn’t be too many.

Beside the green stones, the decrepit duo made a pact.

Sure enough, the Void God Realm was soon abuzz with the prospect.

Many people were drawn by the news, flocking to find out about Liu Village’s location.

In the blink of an eye, pockets were filled with Pure Wall coins, which greatly excited Boss Jing Bi and Bird Grandpa.

The crowd who had received the news set off to the given location.

However, they soon realized they had been duped. After laboriously traveling to the place, they found that nothing matched their expectations.

Moreover, they encountered others who had also bought the same information but were given completely different locations.

Everyone was livid, their faces red, and necks swelling with fury upon realizing they had been conned. They bellowed in anger and swore to break those two damned old men into pieces.

But Boss Jing Bi and Bird Grandpa, themselves crafty scoundrels, had already hid.

Regardless of how loud these people screamed, they couldn’t find the culprits and ended up venting their anger on the pebbles under their feet. Had they had been conned of a larger amount, they would’ve spat blood.

Jiang Hui learned about the incident half a month later.

He was startled when he got to know about it, having never imagined he would be a tool for their profit-making.

“Should I ask them for a share of the profit? After all, they made money off my fame!” Jiang Hui thought.

He had heard that the pair had raked in quite a few Pure Wall coins using the news about Liu Village. Their earnings were equivalent to their usual income for several years. It was a fortune!

“In any case, I should ask Tu Wa to speak to them when the time comes. I must get half the amount that they acquired!”

Jiang Hui made up his mind. He didn’t care much about the situation, but he needed the money.

Soon, more than ten days passed, the drama with the kids had subsided, and the Wilderness resumed its usual tranquillity.

There was a rare period of calm. Whether it was the Greater Ancient Kingdoms or the Ancient Divine Mountain, it was a peaceful time for healing and rejuvenation.

On one such day.

A momentous atmosphere prevailed in Liu Village. Apart from the “old villagers” of Liu Village, all other recently-joined members looked anxious. Unbeknownst to them, it was time for the assessment.

The Village Chief had specifically informed them of the same. He reminded them that only individuals who successfully passed the assessment could continue to stay in the village. Those who failed would have to leave.

The group was under tremendous pressure and tensions were running high, especially among the petty thugs who saw themselves as highly gifted. Every once in a while, they’d wander around the village, coming across numerous peers who could easily be considered prodigies. It felt as though any one of these individuals could match them in terms of skills.

They were genuinely awestruck by the village and yearned to earn the deity’s favor.

No one knew the format of the examination or when it was set to begin. All they could do was wait, prepared for whatever was to come.

Whilst they nervously held their breath and awaited their fate, Jiang Hui had already conducted their assessment.

With a single glance, he could see the faith values of each individual.

While some had high faith values, others had low faith values. Most just barely met the basic requirement of 60. However, there were a few individuals whose faith values hadn’t changed. They had no value to show at all.

Jiang Hui sent an eviction order to these select few via Old Man Lin.

Jiang Hui only intended to shelter the people of Liu Village.

The evicted villagers were flabbergasted. They couldn’t fathom what had just happened. Those who remained were relieved and looked at the divine being of the enigmatic village with even greater reverence.

Certain villagers had heard rumors about the despicable antics of the recently banished members. As a result, they were deeply convinced that the deity of this mysterious village possessed an extraordinary ability to gauge their hearts; thus explaining his remarkable precision.

Seizing the moment, Jiang Hui imparted his spiritual energy.

In the vast sky, void willow leaves drifted down, dancing gracefully, and effortlessly infused themselves into the villagers.

Instantly, all of their faith values surged to too, solidifying their status as devout followers..
