Upon hearing Zhang San say that he had arranged everything for everyone to become Mountain and River Gods,

the expressions on the faces of the Demon Clan present bloomed like flowers.

Zhang San continued, "You all need to know that Principal Officer Xuanwu is someone who is not easy to communicate with. Especially now..."

Upon hearing Zhang San's words, the previously cheerful army fell silent instantly.

Everyone also knew that it was Principal Officer Xuanwu who was responsible for assigning who would become Mountain or River Gods.

As a result, now it seems that Principal Officer Xuanwu has broken through to the Divine Aspect Realm!

Henceforth, when we meet her, it's likely we won't be able to blow our mustaches and glare as before.

"So, this time I also sent a hefty gift, providing many things that could allow Principal Officer Xuanwu to break through further, which led her to agree with me."

Upon hearing Zhang San say she agreed, the Demon Clan around him showed excited smiles again.

"It's just that Principal Officer Xuanwu also said many mountains and rivers within the Great Sui either don't need arrangements for now, or already have Mountain and River Gods, so more aren't needed temporarily."

"Although I'm her superior, there are some things I can't decide. But fortunately, after giving some gifts and talking with Principal Officer Xuanwu for a long time, she finally agreed to find some mountains and rivers in the north for some of you to become Mountain and River Gods."

When everyone heard it was only some of them, they became a bit unhappy again.

After all, some means not all.

Zhang San immediately explained, "You all can't blame me for this! You've seen how much the things I gave out are worth!"

Zhang San said this while pointing in the direction of the Town Martial Office.

Although everyone knew that breaking through to the Divine Aspect Realm is not easy, judging from the aura that just spread throughout the city, Principal Officer Xuanwu must have broken through, but she might still need some time to consolidate her realm.

"I gave such things, and Principal Officer Xuanwu agreed. So do you think I can have any requirements concerning the quantity?"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Clan felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

"Alright then, let's leave it at that. I estimate that even if Principal Officer Xuanwu breaks through, it won't be so quick. So, go find her after some time and try to perform well."

The Demon Clan nodded promptly and then dispersed.

Seeing everyone disperse, Zhang San finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Soon, Zhang San finally returned home.

He asked Hu Xingxiang to change into a set of clothes, then the two of them went out for a walk.

Zhang San also went back to change his clothes.

It was rare to finally start a world for two, so naturally, he chose a set of clothes that matched Hu Xingxiang's, then they went out for a stroll together, tasting the delicacies and snacks in Daxing City now, and chatting about the things they experienced when they weren't together during this period.

This is what couples should do.

However, just as Zhang San changed and walked out of the door waving at Hu Xingxiang, and the two were about to go out together,

suddenly, a figure appeared from nowhere, blocking the way between Zhang San and Hu Xingxiang.

"Junior Brother! Have you found someone familiar with the Path of Life and Death for me?"

Seeing his senior brother, Zhang San was speechless.

Can I not have this senior brother?

At this moment, Zhang San felt like crying.

In fact, it wasn't that Zhang San wasn't helping his senior brother find an expert on the Path of Life and Death, but he just couldn't find a suitable one.

At this moment, Hu Xingxiang next to him asked curiously, "Senior brother needs to find someone strong in the Path of Life and Death?"

Senior Brother nodded sincerely.

"My junior and I have been studying the Formation of Dominion over the Six Paths, but part of this formation is combining the Path of Life and Death with the Imperial Path, with the Emperor appointing the City Gods of each town."

"The position of City God has existed for ages, but there's no uniform standard in many places. In some places, they were transformed from famous deceased locals; in others, they formed from the wisdom of divine statues after many people worshipped a once-famous person who appeared there."

"There are also some places where Cultivators proficient in Techniques help transform souls into local City Gods."

"We can say that there are various City Gods across the vast Great Sui, with varying powers. Establishing a structured City God system involves more from the Path of Life and Death than from the Imperial Path."

"But unfortunately, neither Ling nor Xu have strong expertise in the Path of Life and Death, and haven't even touched its Position. This leaves me... at a loss!"

Zhang San realized that his senior brother was truly at a loss.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be complaining so much even in front of Hu Xingxiang from the Demon Clan.

Bear in mind, Hu Xingxiang is from the Demon Clan; she practices the All Things Path.

Of course, she hails from the Northeast's Five Immortal Clans, so she might understand the Path of Ghosts and Gods.

But surely she doesn't understand the Path of Life and Death.

What use is it talking to her?

At this moment, Hu Xingxiang said, "I understand the Path of Life and Death!"

"Ah!?"

Zhang San looked at Hu Xingxiang with a baffled face.

Even the senior brother, who had just been venting due to work stress, was shocked.

The senior brother and his junior both looked at Hu Xingxiang with surprise.

Zhang San curiously asked, "You understand the Path of Life and Death?"

Hu Xingxiang smiled and said, "Although I don't understand the Path of Life and Death, I know someone who does. Did you forget, my godfather?"

Zhang San looked at Hu Xingxiang in confusion, suddenly remembering that when Hu Xingxiang was still a Little Fox, a powerful Ghost General had brought her over, asking him to take care of her for some time, saying their master would surely reward them generously later.

At this moment, the Little Fox said proudly, "My godfather cultivates the Path of Life and Death. He even gave me a Fangtian Halberd as a gift back then."

Zhang San didn't want to comment on the gift being a bit inauspicious.

Because now Zhang San noticed that his senior brother's gaze toward Hu Xingxiang had become fervent.

"Hu Xingxiang! Zhang San is so busy, how about helping him so he won't be so exhausted?"

"Sure!"

Hu Xingxiang was even happier when she thought she could help Zhang San with his tiring workload.

However, at this moment, Zhang San was about to cry. I just want to date the girl I like, find an opportunity to give her a peck.

Why is my life so hard!

Just like that, Zhang San had no choice but to let Hu Xingxiang take his senior brother to find the legendary godfather to learn about the Path of Life and Death.

Of course, to ensure Hu Xingxiang's safety, Zhang San sent Hu and Vermilion Bird to accompany them.

Hu primarily cultivates the Power of the Sun; in case any friction occurs, his strength is sufficient.

As for Vermilion Bird, her combat power is stronger, with her around, Zhang San was more assured.

As for himself, Zhang San sighed helplessly and could only pack his bags to get ready to set out.

Who knew I wouldn't have the fate for a vacation.
