As the Blue Robe Priest of Yizhi Palace, Patan guards a mid-sized tribe. Moreover, this mid-sized tribe named Qisha is considered quite large among the mid-sized tribes.

The Qisha tribe has a population of over seven hundred thousand people, and thanks to Patan’s care, the condition of the Qisha tribe is slightly better than the Black Sand Tribe.

But it is only slightly better.

Within the Yizhi Temple, it’s said that Patan guards this Qisha tribe, but in reality, the Qisha tribe is the territory assigned to Patan by the Yizhi Temple, much like Patan’s fiefdom.

As a Blue Robe Priest, Patan is practically like the Supreme Emperor of the Qisha tribe.

Furthermore, Patan is unlike the crooked Green-Robed Priest Laxen; Patan is dedicated and diligent, and thus his prestige in the Qisha tribe is exceptionally high, almost to the extent that his word is law.

Under such circumstances, when Patan kneels reverently before Ye Zhen and calls him the Yizhi Divine Envoy, showcasing a devout worship, the impact on the Sha people of Qisha Tribe is indescribable.

However, simply doing that isn’t enough.

The Sha people of the Qisha tribe might acknowledge Ye Zhen as the Yizhi Divine Envoy due to Patan’s prestige, but it is nearly impossible to have them worship Ye Zhen as fervently as the Black Sand Tribe does.

Thus, the hallmark performance of Ye Zhen, the counterfeit Yizhi Divine Envoy, took the stage.

Divine Miracle!

Displaying a divine miracle publicly.

The most outstanding and shocking way to showcase a divine miracle is to have the flowers of the Yidongqing Divine Tree bloom across the mountains and plains.

According to Patan, throughout Yizhi Sand Sea now, the Divine Tree of Yidongqing in every tribe is continuously diminishing, and their numbers have dwindled to a life-and-death level.

Since the disappearance of the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God tens of thousands of years ago, all Sha Clan tribes have been hoping for the Yidongqing Divine Tree to flourish once more across the mountains and plains.

In fact, many tribes that have been inherited from tens of thousands of years ago still hold on to a vague legend.

When the flowers of the Yidongqing Divine Tree bloom across the Sand Sea again, it symbolizes the return of the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God.

The Blue Robe Priest Patan happens to know of this legend.

Therefore, ten days before Ye Zhen set off for the Qisha tribe, Patan arranged for several groups of Zousha people from the Black Sand Tribe to venture outward and revive this topic among the Sha people.

The so-called Zousha of the Sha people is, in fact, commerce.

Exchanging goods and trading specialties between various tribes is collectively referred to as Zousha.

According to Patan’s arrangements, these merchant Zousha reached each tribe and intentionally or unintentionally brought up that legend, striving to evoke discussions and maintain the hype.

Merchants from the Black Sand Tribe arrived at the Qisha Tribe five days ago, and through their loud debates and deliberate arguments, the entire Qisha Tribe had already become exceedingly enthusiastic about the legend, ’When the flowers of the Yidongqing Divine Tree bloom across the mountains and fields, it marks the day of the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God’s return.’

Of course, there’s some promotion and momentum-building involved here, but fundamentally, countless Sha people have been eagerly awaiting this moment in their lifetimes or throughout tens of thousands of years of bloodline inheritance.

Honestly, Ye Zhen initially felt a bit embarrassed about Patan’s arrangement.

Is deceiving those sincere Sha people truly acceptable?

However, Patan taught Ye Zhen a lesson.

Patan said, even the Divine Glory requires worldly propagation to endure longer and to avoid falling.

Just like the Yizhi Temple, even though the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God has disappeared for tens of thousands of years, it still governs the entire Yizhi Sand Sea in the name of the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God.

Moreover, Ye Zhen is indeed the Divine Envoy of the true Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God. Patan is merely trying to spread the Divine Envoy’s glory faster and wider to illuminate and protect more Sha people.

This statement from Patan enlightened Ye Zhen about another mistake.

The ultimate level of deception is to deceive even oneself.

To make others believe, one must first believe oneself.

Ye Zhen, this counterfeit Divine Envoy, had already fooled a crowd of Sha people from the Black Sand Tribe, and Ye Zhen himself played the role of this Divine Envoy.

However, he was still lingering at the acting level.

In his bones, Ye Zhen still considered himself a counterfeit Divine Envoy, which prompted such ideas.

It was precisely because of this realization that Ye Zhen began to tell himself every day that he is indeed the Divine Envoy!

He, Ye Zhen, is the Divine Envoy sent by the heavens for the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God.

As long as even Ye Zhen believes he is the Yizhi Heavenly God’s Divine Envoy, no one could possibly unmask him.

Understanding this point, Ye Zhen graciously accepted Patan’s packaging.

Clad in the most honorable and pure white robe of the Yizhi Sand Sea, he floated in the low air.

Under the worship of the massive number of Sha people of the Qisha tribe, reaching two to three hundred thousand, a vast amount of seeds from the Yidongqing Divine Tree flew from Ye Zhen’s fingertips under the vibration of Spiritual Power.

The seeds of the Yidongqing Divine Tree fluttered down across the sprawling hills, landing within a radius of a hundred li around the Qisha Tribe’s focal point, and also beside the ground covered with kneeling members of the Sha Clan from the Qisha Tribe.

Beside the feet, knees, hands, and around the empty spaces of the Sha Clan people from the Qisha Tribe, there fell a large number of seeds of the Yidongqing Divine Tree.

Then, under the gaze of the Sha Clan from the Qisha Tribe, these seeds of the Yidongqing Divine Tree began to germinate and take root, their dense roots penetrating the ground like tentacles.

The sound of shifting sand began to resound intensely, and subsequently, the entire surface started to ripple like waves.

This was due to the countless roots of the Yidongqing Divine Tree burrowing deep into the ground.

A clump of the Yidongqing Divine Tree on the surface may only cover one or two square meters, but its roots underground can stretch up to a thousand meters.

The Sha Clan from the Qisha Tribe were utterly shocked watching the rippling ground. As the roots of the Yidongqing Divine Tree reached a sufficient depth, the young shoots above the ground began to grow swiftly.

In an instant, tiny hints of green covered the sandy terrain.

The Sha Clan people from the Qisha Tribe were stunned, looking at the rapidly growing Yidongqing Divine Tree, and then at Ye Zhen, who seemed like a Heavenly God. The legend circulated in the tribe over the past few days immediately resurfaced in their minds.

Patan’s arrangements took effect at this moment.

Suddenly, the gaze of the Sha Clan from the Qisha Tribe towards Ye Zhen changed, becoming one of awe, surprise, and even tears.

A few moments later, when all the Yidongqing Divine Trees across the hills blossomed at the same moment, the entire Sha Clan from the Qisha Tribe erupted in excitement.

Some people spontaneously began to worship Ye Zhen with their most devout gestures.

It was unclear who shouted that the Heavenly God has returned, instantly igniting the entire Sha Clan from the Qisha Tribe.

With Patan taking the lead to worship Ye Zhen, crawling to Ye Zhen’s feet with the most devout gesture and kissing Ye Zhen’s foot, the long-silent yearning and faith in the Yizhi Heavenly God of the Sha Clan from the Qisha Tribe exploded at this moment.

One by one, they cried out with tears streaming down their faces, calling out the divine name of the Yizhi Sand Sea Sky God and the title of the Divine Envoy, and with tears streaming down their faces, worshipped Ye Zhen with the most devout gestures.

If fortunate enough to kiss Ye Zhen’s foot, that Sha Clan person’s mental state immediately changed, imbued with a touch of divinity and happiness.

The green light at Ye Zhen’s fingertips danced lightly, and although it had successfully turned the Sha Clan people from the Qisha Tribe present into his fanatics.

Yet, Ye Zhen did not stop the action of fostering the Yidongqing Divine Tree.

Ye Zhen’s cultivation of the Yidongqing Divine Tree was a means, gathering the Power of Belief was a goal, but only one of the goals.

Benefiting a place and genuinely improving the living environment of these Sha Clan was also one of Ye Zhen’s goals.

Amid the prayers of hundreds of thousands of Sha Clan people from the Qisha Tribe, the golden water droplets in Ye Zhen’s Xuan Palace began to grow rapidly.

In no time, they doubled in size.

However, the growth speed of Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit became very slow.

Ye Zhen had already understood this through communicating with the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou.

The Power of Belief cannot directly increase the Primordial Spirit, but the uniqueness of the Power of Belief can refine and nourish the Primordial Spirit.

Especially when the Primordial Spirit first receives the nourishment from the Power of Belief, the growth rate is very large, but after a certain degree of growth, the enhancement from the Power of Belief becomes smaller and smaller.

This is like watering a tree, within moderation, giving enough water can help the tree grow robustly, but beyond this amount, no matter how much more water is given, it cannot speed up the tree’s growth.

Ye Zhen is in this situation now, the enhancement from the Power of Belief to the Primordial Spirit is becoming smaller and smaller, but the accumulated golden Power of Belief in the Xuan Palace is increasing.

Initially, it was only the size of a soy bean; now, it is already half the size of an egg.

And it is still growing rapidly.

However, Ye Zhen could obviously sense that the Power of Belief contributed by the Sha Clan from the Qisha Tribe was not as much as that from the Black Sand Tribe.

The fanatic ratio among the Qisha Tribe people was less than fifty percent, compared to the Black Sand Tribe’s nearly ninety percent fanatic ratio, which was nearly double the difference.

But, there were simply too many people.

Just today, the Sha Clan people from the Qisha Tribe gathered here were more than four times the total population of the Black Sand Tribe.

Even if the fanatic ratio is only fifty percent, the resulting Power of Belief is still massive.

The golden water droplets in Ye Zhen’s Xuan Palace representing the Power of Belief were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And here, it is just the beginning, merely a good start.

Next, Ye Zhen will let the flowers of Yidongqing Divine Tree bloom in all directions, to let this divine miracle blossom in one Sha Clan tribe after another.

However, with the unfolding of the divine miracle, the path of expansion of Ye Zhen’s divine envoy majesty also formally begins.

The Yidongqing Divine Tree Guardian Corps, known as the Divine Glory, also officially began forming in the Qisha Tribe!
