CHAPTER 495: CHAPTER 227: THE DAILY LIFE OF THE DIVINE SPIRIT

Since the Demigod-level Divine Core Fragment in his hand is genuine, Lin Rui had to seriously consider it. Why did a Divine Core Fragment he possessed have the effect of expanding his territory?

No matter how he thought about it, Lin Rui really couldn’t figure it out, so he looked at Lu Weite and asked, "Director Lu Weite, does your guild have a divine spirit you worship? Have you ever had contact with it?"

Lu Weite didn’t hide anything, saying: "As a director of the Thirteen Council Courts, I have participated in the rituals worshiping the divine spirit and have seen its image."

Hearing this, Lin Rui was filled with surprise: "You have seen a divine projection?"

How vexing. His wife never allows him to see her like that. He only knows she has an hourglass figure with golden proportions, with graceful curves. However, the luxurious palace gown of Wutong completely covers her figure, leaving it entirely hidden.

Therefore now, the two most charming goddesses Lin Rui can come in contact with, one can only be seen with a visible figure but unseen face. The other with a visible face, but an obscure figure.

It’s ironic that Great Lord Lin’s favorite is the wealthy and generous Welfare Princess, yet the two closely connected goddesses prefer to play the game of revealing and hiding.

This is truly the work of fate.

Lin Rui couldn’t help but curiously ask: "What does a divine spirit look like?"

Lu Weite was also filled with surprise and asked: "Lord Lin Rui, as far as I know, aren’t you the divine champion of the Goddess of Fortune? Almost the entire world knows you are the divine champion chosen by the Goddess of Fortune. Haven’t you received any divine revelation? In theory, a divine champion is the transmitter of the goddess’s will and is most likely to come into contact with the divine spirit’s insights."

Transmitter of the goddess’s will...

The only Divine Revelation Task that the goddess left for Lin Rui was to refuse Audrey from climbing into his bed!

She barely has any will. She almost went as far as to lie flat and say, "You do it yourself" to Lin Rui! Lin Rui kept expanding his realm of faith, and she just had to follow suit and win effortlessly.

No, she might not even lie flat. Maybe in the future, she will assign Yuyu to replace her to serve in bed and fulfill Lin Rui’s needs.

Regarding his wife’s divinity, Lin Rui carefully phrased his words, saying: "The Goddess of Fortune is quite unique. Her teachings are that destiny is as unpredictable as a pendulum. Therefore, she is always veiled in a mysterious, hazy light, and I have never seen the projection of the goddess."

What else can you do? You can’t just bluntly say you don’t know what your wife’s face looks like, can you?

Lu Weite readily accepted this explanation, saying: "Then perhaps this mysterious, hazy veil is a symbol of the goddess’s projection. The projection of our guild’s divine spirit is a dazzling, golden coin of the king. Legend has it that the projection of the Dragon God is a pair of blood-red, chilling eyes. Each divine spirit has its own symbol of faith."

Lin Rui immediately pondered, then what would his divine symbol be after ascending? A Golden Pansy with golden patterns and blue light?

Lin Rui, deep in thought, said: "This divine symbol is quite similar to the Clan Badge. I just wonder what the divine spirits themselves are like, and what do they do after becoming gods?"

Surely it’s not as leisurely as the Goddess of Fortune, who is about to find a sunny beach, wearing white flip-flops, lying under a parasol, sipping juice and sunbathing.

Lu Weite laughed and said: "That’s not the only resemblance. I think divine spirits are quite similar to you lords. Both are continuously cultivating the number of follower populations, accepting sacrifices of all kinds, gathering resources, recruiting Heroic Spirit Warriors, nurturing heroes, strengthening the Divine Kingdom Armament, and then engaging in battles due to faith, or resisting the invasion of the Outer Evil God and Chaos Army."

In this sense, indeed, they are quite similar.

The only difference is that mortal lords develop their territories on the earthly plane, building grand empires, while divine spirits expand their influence in higher dimensions and then conquer in wars.

Of course, all of this seems quite natural. After all, divine spirits themselves are ascenders who climbed to divinity.

It doesn’t make sense for an epic-level or legendary-level lord, upon gaining a divine spirit level trait, to suddenly change their code of behavior and stop being combative.

There’s just one thing Lin Rui couldn’t figure out, so he asked: "Does your guild need to provide regular sacrifices to the divine spirit?"

"Of course. Otherwise, why would the divine spirit protect our guild? It can’t just be because the gods love the people." Lu Weite replied as if it were obvious.

Lin Rui hesitated for a moment: "Can’t it? ... I mean, is it not possible that it’s because of love? For instance, if a divine spirit fell in love with her divine champion, would she still need sacrifices then?"

Lu Weite, being a shrewd old fox, immediately guessed that Lin Rui was referring to himself.

But with all the smooth talk and flexibility of a merchant, he politely asked: "Do you have a friend... who encountered such a situation?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I have a friend who is also an Explorer Lord and has never offered any sacrifices to the goddess he believes in. I’m just asking on his behalf what’s going on."

Lu Weite immediately nodded, expressing understanding! Complete understanding.

However, he soon asked: "Your friend’s treasury must be quite abundant, right? After all, he doesn’t need to offer sacrifices."

"Hiss~" Lin Rui instantly took a breath.

Indeed, goddesses are the ones who best play with emotions! The more charming the goddess, the more she’s able to play men at her fingertips.

As it turned out, this woman long mastered the 1,080 ways to drain him dry!

The territory didn’t have direct sacrifices, but enhancements had long drained all of Lin Rui’s savings numerous times.

Besides recruiting Galo, the territory’s wealth was cleared time and again due to the sacrifices to the Goddess Pendulum!

That is a special sacrificial altar.

The Special Building Plan was written clearly from the start!
