The volume of this wailing is tremendous, nearly echoing throughout half the divine realm.

I believe Lord Pippy possesses a talent for singing, he continued.

Suzi Han blinked, channeling her divine power.

Before her, Ling Pippy appeared vividly.

The figure resembling a robust man standing at nearly 6t tall, faced the stone wall, his back to the world, weeping heartily, oblivious to his appearance.

Passers by the miniature spirits couldn't help but glance at him before retreating due to the cacophony of his cries.

Bubbles emerged above Ling Pippy's head.

One after another, Pippy missed the divine being touch.

Sob.

I'm a foolish spirit unloved by any living creature.

Pippy feels so wronged.

It can only weep here alone.

As Suzi Han withdrew her divine perception, the distant cries gradually faded.

She had not anticipated that Pippy would weep so profoundly over missing the chance to see her and engage with her earlier in the square.

However, compared to their previous life, Pippy had matured significantly, refraining from causing a ruckus and choosing instead to weep quietly in a corner.

Once her important tasks were complete, she resolved to check on him.

The construction of the pasture and fishing ground was entrusted to the Fu, who needed to be diligent in his efforts.

Leave it to Fu, Suzi Han instructed.

As she made her way back to the divine temple, she deliberately took a detour to approach Ling Pippy.

Upon seeing her, his tears ceased, and he fell silent at a loss for words.

Bubbles continued to pop above his head, depicting a chaotic array of emotions.

One moment joyful, the next sorrowful, with various emoticons showcasing his inner turmoil.

Oh.

Oh.

A sincere and fervent declaration of faith emerged among them.

Suzi Han waved her hand, withdrawing her mental connection, choosing not to delve into the cascade of bubbles that followed.

Ling Pipe's tumultuous thoughts disturb her eyes with tears streaming down her face, she expressed her concerns about having consumed something spoiled with her friend Lulu.

She mentioned the discovery of a rift in the realm where she had collected a few void creatures and tasted some of their flesh.

Suzi Han gently patted Ling Pipe's head, noting that the little one appeared quite healthy.

Are you saying that you, an asensient luminescent willow tree feasted on the flesh of void creatures? Are you worried about the toxins from these beings? Afraid you might turn into a monster and be cast away by me? Suzie Han nearly burst into laughter at this point, charmed by the little one's antics.

influenced by her innate abilities.

As long as they survive the initial consumption, these little ones should be capable of digesting any food.

If you feel no discomfort in your body and find the taste tolerable, then indulging is permissible.

Do not fret too much.

Our circumstances differ from those described in the library's tomes.

Once the little one's emotions stabilized, Suzi Hon bid farewell to Papipi and returned to the temple alone.

Chapter 56.

A new follower has arrived.

Sue Xihan summoned Ling Jing Jing to elucidate the matter at hand.

Ah, that capricious Ling Pippy.

How could he not confide in me regarding such significant affairs? Jing Jing must teach Pippy a stern lesson.

Ling Jing Jing upon hearing this was filled with fury.

That irresponsible Pippy had the audacity to conceal such a momentous event from her.

Fortunately, he promptly reported to the deity upon their return.

Both of you have aired in this matter.

Jing Jing, you are astute and well-versed, yet at times you place excessive faith in knowledge.

Knowledge does not always equate to authority.

After their discussion, Suzi Han's consciousness sought out the bioluminescent willow tree mentioned by Ling Pippy, marking it for observation without further action.

This tree, awakened with intelligence, and having consumed the void creature, warranted her scrutiny for a while longer to discern the nature and abilities of her new follower.

Meanwhile, Suzie Han sat on the sofa in her bedroom, tapping her fingers against the table, gazing out the window in contemplation.

Her thoughts revolved around the military strength of the divine realm.

With this recent incursion from the void, the entrance was small and the issues minimal.

The little spirits manage to resolve matters themselves.

But what of the future? As the divine realm expands, she must cultivate more followers.

The protective barrier of the system would inevitably weaken, posing a constant risk of void creatures breaching their sanctum, while she could safeguard the little ones within the divine realm.

Her absence during external confrontations could leave them vulnerable to peril who would protect the little spirits.

This was a pressing dilemma.

Yet acquiring followers is no simple feat.

Apart from innocent beings in the divine realm and the channels for summoning follower cards, new followers rely heavily on fortuitity.

Generally, followers can be sourced from three categories.

Self-ultivation, seizing others followers and taming wild followers, each with its advantages and disadvantages.

Self-ultivation, akin to the bioluminescent mushrooms in her divine realm, possesses innate wisdom, rendering them naturally her followers.

Although the cultivation process is lengthy, it could yield exceptional followers.

However, the downside lies in the time, effort, and uncertainty of outcomes.

Those familiar with parenting know that children may not always grow according to their parents' hopes, making it an endeavor devoid of quantifiable returns.

In comparison to cultivating children, Suzi Hon deemed it swifter to cultivate herself.

With her affinity for darkness and formidable combat prowess, she is a born war deity.

Rather than coercing belief oriented little spirits, into battle, enhancing her own strength seemed more fitting.

The second method involves appropriating others followers, typically those already bound to a master.

This requires defeating their deity and compelling a shift in allegiance.

If one encounters a deity with a frail bond to their follower, there may be an opportunity to capitalize on that weakness.

However, if faced with fervent former deities devotees acting as saboturs, the chaos would only multiply.

As for wild followers, they largely function as mercenaries for the main deity.

These followers traverse various battlegrounds alongside their master, earning resources for cultivation and tending to their own needs.

Although the battlefield is fraught with peril and death looms like a shadow, the rewards are substantial, the enhancement of strength is rapid, and the prospect of ascending to divinity is promising.

Yet, a dilemma presents itself, the wild followers who harbor aspirations of godhood and independence.

Why would they choose to ally with a fledgling deity? Take for instance the doll-like spirit who while willing to engage in battle alongside her may not necessarily wish to become her devote.

To illustrate the relationship between creatures like the doll and her can be likened to that of a diligent worker encountering a benevolent employer.

Following her may yield greater financial gain.

And with sufficient earnings, one might even aspire to become an employer themselves.

Hence the admiration for the boss and the eagerness to work.

However, this does not imply that the worker is willing to bind themselves in servitude, relinquishing their autonomy and placing their life and death in the hands of another.

Employment is a matter of equality, whereas faith in a deity entails a profound trust that encompasses one s very existence.

Wild followers who have tasted freedom are unlikely to willingly seek out constraints.

Perhaps employing them to work within her divine realm could be a viable alternative.

Suzi Han pondered this and concluded that hiring bodyguards for the little sprites while she ventured in a battle would be a far more prudent approach.

With this thought, she relaxed.

After all, it merely involved a payment of divine currency, which she could readily afford.

The pure devotion of the sprites could easily sustain a multitude of mercenaries.

Reclining leisurely on a small sofa in her bedroom, Sue Xihan accessed the employment service through a holographic interface, locating the relevant service, she downloaded the online version of the war god platform app and place an order on the hiring platform.

Her request was for a routine employment order, seeking war followers to patrol the borders of her divine domain.

She offered generous remuneration and stipulated high competency criteria, specifically targeting levels 7 to 10.

only masters, legends, and demigods were eligible for her employment.

She even made a special note that if the candidate belonged to the doll-like race, additional compensation would be provided, ideally seeking one named Alice from that lineage.

Susie Han nearly named her directly, urging Alice to come work in her divine realm with excellent benefits.

While awaiting her followers to accept the order, she picked up a book from the library, one she had casually selected.

To her surprise, the library contained a comprehensive collection encompassing even web novels.

Was this an effort to cater to the spiritual needs of humanity from Blueest Star? For instance, the book in her hands, Universal Survival, the non-gamer from the clouds started off quite well.

However, a sudden plot twist nearly incited her wrath.

She wished fervently to confront the author to inquire whether they had lost their wits while writing.
