Li Jing's decision proved to be entirely correct.
Although the anointing consumed a considerable amount of Power of Faith, with the help of Wang Lietian, the local bigwig, many tasks previously mired in difficulties were rejuvenated.
Moreover, Wang Lietian's prestige in the local area was very high. With his endorsement, Li Jing, the deity, became increasingly popular.
Li Jing seized the opportunity to subjugate nearby Ancestor Spirits and Lands, expanding his sphere of influence.
What was once a no-frills, makeshift team, surprisingly flourished under his management. With Judges, River Imps and others at his disposal, he had everything needed.
Every time he thought about this, Li Jing felt an indescribable pride. Indeed, owning all of this was entirely due to his eloquence.
The local people, and even the Ancestor Spirits, would never imagine that both his story and his background were completely fabricated.
