Vice Dean Mei felt sorry for him and kindly took him in, inviting him to work as a weapon refiner in the Huai family's Divine Weapon Sect. He also promised that in the future he would not only find ways to help him improve his cultivation, but also provide him with permanent shelter.
Li Yiheng originally wanted to repay her for her recognition and support, and then for saving his life. Even for the sake of repaying her, he had to go to the Huai family and work hard.
So, he went without much hesitation.
However, in the process of working in the Huai family, he discovered that among the small gods staying in the Huai family's Divine Artifact Sect, there were many low-level gods, and their salaries were very low.
They do the hardest and most tiring work, but get the least pay.
Of course, the cheap labor also includes himself.
The lower gods can usually only do some work of polishing the prototype, and they will not be allowed to participate in the most core technology at all.
Even if they were once great masters of refining equipment in the fairy world, they still have no chance.
Although Li Yiheng had many questions in his mind, he still endured them and planned to stay here for 10,000 years to repay Vice President Mei's two favors.
The Huai family is a large family in the divine world. The highest authority has reached the level of a divine emperor, and his original body was a Qilin beast, so the descendants of the Huai family all have the bloodline of Qilin beasts.
The Huai family runs many businesses, the most famous of which is the Divine Artifact Sect. Thirty percent of the divine artifacts currently sold in the world come from this family.
Many buds in the divine world are proud to be able to study in the Huai Family Divine Artifact Sect.
His family is usually very generous towards the disciples they recruit, so the Huai family has a very good reputation in the God Realm. Whenever people mention them, they can't help but give them a thumbs up.
Not only are the artifacts he produces of high quality, but the after-sales service is also very good.
The most important thing is that they treat the little gods who come to study in accordance with their aptitude, so that they can learn real skills. And when they leave after learning, they will not force them too much.
However, these benefits do not include the lower gods.
The lower gods seemed to have signed an indentureship, unable to leave forever and could only work there non-stop.
Although Li Yiheng was only a lower god and his cultivation was so low that it could even be ignored, his weapon refining skills were very high. So as soon as he arrived at the Weapon Refining Sect, he was "importantly used" and became the leader of these lower gods.
His job is to teach them how to polish the prototype to perfection.
The lower gods have neglected their cultivation due to long-term labor. It is considered good if they can practice for one hour every day.
In this way, there is no way to improve one's cultivation.
This vicious cycle continues day after day, year after year, with no end in sight.
They count the days on their fingers every day, and hope that such days will end soon, but unfortunately, such days will never end.
If you use ten thousand years to practice cultivation, you may feel that the time is very short, but if you use it to work and stay awake all the time, it will be quite long.
Li Yiheng felt that these ten thousand years were even longer than the hundreds of thousands of years he had spent in the fairyland.
When he had stayed in the Huai family's Divine Artifact Sect for ten thousand years, he formally submitted his resignation to Vice President Mei, intending to go out and try his luck on his own. Even if he was killed immediately after leaving, he didn't want to stay here any longer.
Because he felt that if he had to live in this way, he might as well die.
If there were a chance of reincarnation, he would even be willing to live the life of an ordinary mortal.
But his wish to leave was not fulfilled after all. Vice President Mei told him that since he had practiced the Huai family's "top skills", he would be a servant of the Huai family. If he insisted on leaving, his body and soul would be destroyed.
Then, Vice President Mei revealed the mysterious aspects of the Huai family's martial arts.
It turns out that the Huai family technique, also known as the slavery technique, was modified using the superior techniques of the divine world specifically for the physiques of lower gods.
Practicing this technique is indeed useful for advancing to the next level of godhood, but the side effects are extremely terrible. Once you practice this technique, you cannot switch to other techniques.
If one insists on changing, the consequences will be very serious. Not only will his cultivation level not improve but will regress, but his soul power will also be absorbed by the technique. The ultimate result will be the destruction of both his body and soul.
If one wants to leave the Huai family, one must first eliminate the cultivation gained through the Huai family's martial arts. The process of stripping away the cultivation will also allow the martial arts to absorb one's soul power, and in the end, both the body and soul will be destroyed.
Among the lower gods who ascended from the immortal world to the divine world, which one of them was not a great immortal who once dominated the world? Who would be willing to have their souls destroyed
Therefore, under the absolutely weak situation, they all chose to swallow their anger and live on, just hoping that there would be a turn for the better and they could escape from this terrible den.
But unfortunately, day after day, year after year, endless years passed by, and they, who were weak, did not find any chance to turn the situation around.
In the God Realm, it is no secret that lower gods are enslaved, and the Huai family's enslavement of lower gods is not an isolated case. Therefore, their family's crimes are not considered crimes at all in front of the wealthy and powerful families in the God Realm.
It is something that both parties understand tacitly.
Anyway, even if the lower gods are not enslaved, they can only be marginal minor gods. It should be a good thing that others enslave them and provide them with a safe haven.
At least this way, they can still live well! Why not
Those high and mighty indigenous gods all thought so, and felt that they were protecting them.
The Huai family's evil martial arts was not an isolated case. Many wealthy families used this method to imprison their slaves. Therefore, even if someone made public how evil and unscrupulous the Huai family's martial arts were, no one would care.
Moreover, the lower gods do not even have the qualifications to go to the Divine Law Hall to file a complaint, so who would care about their life or death
In fact, some lower gods really wanted to unite and resist, but the gap in strength was too big. A high-level god could kill a large number of lower gods with just a breath, so how could they fight against them
Thinking back on the painful experiences of the past 100,000 years, Li Yiheng felt angry and helpless.
Why did Vice Dean Mei have to come and tell him the strangeness of the Huai family's skills ten thousand years later? That was because she had banned the lower gods of the Huai family, so such a "secret" could not be spread everywhere.
Although this matter was not a secret, he had been under closed management for a long time and did not know about it until ten thousand years later.
During these 100,000 years, he had been trying to find ways to improve his cultivation, hoping to escape the fate of slavery through strength. During this period, he had taken a lot of magical pills, but his advancement speed was still very slow.
Moreover, because the quality of the pills he took was not up to standard, he accumulated some pill poison.
This makes it even more difficult to advance.
His cultivation was stuck at the Great Perfection of True God, and he had not been able to cross the threshold of becoming a Great God for tens of thousands of years.
In the past ten thousand years, he has almost given up practicing.
Even if he is a god, if he doesn't practice and store divine power in his Dantian, he will still grow old and die, so he is just waiting for the day when he will die of old age naturally.
Among the lower gods who worked as laborers in the Huai family, two ended their lives in this way and got a chance to reincarnate.
Some lower gods even took extreme measures and committed suicide, but the consequence was that all of their soul power was absorbed by the skills.
