Passing through the tall and magnificent buildings, with springs still gurgling in the winter, Yunchi followed Nali and came to a gathering place similar to a salon.

As soon as he entered the door, he was almost confused by the various aromas that rushed into his nose. The smell of divine incense varies, but Yunchi still likes the smell of the Sakya Temple the most, which is gloomy and mysterious, like a looming tide.

"What do you usually do when you get together?" Yun Chi looked at the people in the room, pulled Nali aside and asked.

Nari thought for a moment and answered, "Just chat, show off the treasures bestowed by the Lord God, share interesting things in the territory, or seek help, answer questions, etc."

"Besides the gathering," Yun Chi continued to ask, "do you usually have any... other entertainment? Ah, don't get me wrong, because this is my first time communicating with other gods, so it's inevitable that I'm curious about many things..."

Nari smiled in understanding: "Of course, we stay in the temple every day, what else can we do? Either we bury our heads in writing sacred words; or we listen to the priests nagging about this and that; or we dance, dance endlessly, and then use ointment to polish off the calluses on our bodies... "

Nali sighed: "But from what you said, your life shouldn't be as boring as ours, right?"

"Hmm..." Yun Chi responded vaguely, looking at the scene of flowers in front of him.

In the luxuriously decorated hall, there were about ten people sitting or standing, all of them were beautiful and graceful boys and girls. They gathered in one room, like a tree blooming slightly, revealing a few bright flowers. Compared with the gorgeous jewelry served on the plate that Yun Chi saw in the jewelry store, it was no less beautiful.

However, their identities seem to be no different from the gold and jade accessories for people to appreciate.

Nali clapped his hands, attracting the attention of those favored by the gods. He introduced them happily, "Everyone! Today we have a distinguished guest at our gathering. He is the favored by the god of the west wind!"

The whole place was in uproar, and everyone looked over. Even though Yun Chi was used to being the center of attention, he still felt that this gaze was too scorching.

"How rare! The favored one of the West Wind God."

"Now there are actually four wind gods..."

"Hello! I am the one favored by the God of Forest Springs. Does the God of West Wind also have his own temple? I have never heard of it!"

"I am the one favored by the river god Achelous!"

"I am the god of pastures and prosperity..."

"I am burning..."

"And me! I am..."

Seeing these enthusiastic reactions and Nali's previous joy, Yun Chi couldn't help but feel puzzled. Logically speaking, Saga was already an old god that was dying out, so why did the West Wind God, as his subordinate, seem to have... a prominent status

Before he could think carefully, the gods' favored followers had already rushed up excitedly and started to introduce themselves to Yun Chi. Yan Yan watched from behind and saw that apart from the mountain god Astor who protected an independent city-state, the others were all favored followers of minor gods. Yun Chi could handle them all, so he remained silent for the time being.

Yun Chi greeted them one by one, and apart from other things, he recognized a lot of messy priesthoods and names. He was cheerful and liked to joke, so he quickly took advantage of his social prowess and integrated into the group of gods and began to get information.
