"I don't care if I came to the God Realm to enjoy divine treatment, not to scrub toilets!" Tian Long said aggrievedly, "It's all your fault. I was fine in Tian Long City, but you insisted on dragging me to become a god. I never expected to end up as someone else's ant!"
"This..."
Lu Fan wore a bitter expression. "I didn't know things would turn out this way, but this might not be a bad thing. After all, the end of the universe is still an end. As long as we become the final rulers, we can enjoy everything!"
"Easier said than done. Didn't you hear? We've only just entered the God Realm. Above the God Realm, there are still god-like existences. We're just like ants!" Tian Long shook his head. "Why don't we escape? As long as we leave Yuqing Mountain, there will be places for us to frolic. We won't be at anyone's mercy!"
"This is a form of punishment. Besides, Zhao Xiaoyu just said that the outside world is extremely dangerous. It's already difficult enough to survive in the God Realm. Trying to escape would likely only lead to death!" Lu Fan shook his head, his gaze growing more solemn. Although he had considered this problem, he also knew very well that this was ultimately not a long-term solution.
The kitchen of Yuqing Mountain looked quite vast, and it was as magnificent as a palace.
In the back kitchen of Yuqing Mountain, there were nine figures busy at work. They were the kitchen staff of Yuqing Mountain, but the aura emanating from each of them was extraordinary.
"The aura of these people is no weaker than ours!"
Lu Fan remarked, "The fact that they are willing to work as servants here means there is something they yearn for!"
As they were speaking, a man with a large head and big ears approached Lu Fan. "Are you new here?"
"Yes, we just ascended from the lower realm!" Lu Fan nodded, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Although the man in front of him looked young, his deep eyes revealed that he had experienced the vicissitudes of the world. He was likely an old man who had transformed himself.
However, it made sense. How could everyone who came to the God Realm be young? The younger generation here were probably all powerful elders who had merely changed their appearance after arriving in the God Realm.
"Since you are here, make the best of it. Our kitchen is quite good!"
Liu Da Pang said, "It must be Sister Xiaoyu who sent you. You'll follow me from now on!"
"Boss, look at them. They seem to dislike us!"
With a slight curl of his lips, several men beside him laughed, their words carrying a hint of teasing.
"Since you're here to help in our kitchen, we're all brothers from now on. No need for useless talk!" Liu Da Pang waved his hand and looked at Lu Fan. "Each of us was an supreme existence in the lower realm, but after coming to the God Realm, we can only do these menial tasks. So, you don't need to have too much of a psychological gap."
"I'm very curious, why did you choose to stay?" Lu Fan asked. "After all, leaving Yuqing Mountain seems like it would allow for a better connection with the power of heaven and earth!"
"You wouldn't understand this!"
Fatty Third walked over. "Most people leave Yuqing Mountain when they first arrive, only to obediently return later. This is because cultivating to a higher realm in the God Realm is not something that can be achieved overnight. The most important thing is the Godhead. If you can obtain a Godhead, you can break through your cultivation very quickly!"
"Are you saying that by working in the servant quarters, one can obtain a Godhead?" Tian Long asked with some confusion.
"That's right. As long as you are a resident or a servant of Yuqing Mountain, you can obtain a Godhead. It's just that your circumstances will differ, and the amount of Godhead you receive will vary. For ordinary servants like us, we only get one Godhead per month. However, this one Godhead is enough, and we are very satisfied!" Fatty Fourth said frankly. "If you don't believe us, you can try leaving Yuqing Mountain. Then you'll know how difficult cultivation is, and this Godhead can fill your void, allowing you to quickly become a Heavenly God. If you can become a Heavenly God one day, then you will truly live a life of leisure!"
After hearing these words, Tian Long was utterly heartbroken. He never imagined he would end up in such a state.
"From now on, you are Old Ten, and the other one is Old Eleven. Welcome to the kitchen!"
Liu Da Pang smiled and took out two pieces of dried meat from his pocket. "Is this a welcome gift for you newcomers?"
"Dried meat?"
Tian Long glanced at it, his lips twitching slightly. He wouldn't have even deigned to look at such things in Tian Long City, yet here in the God Realm, everyone seemed to cherish them so much.
Fatty Third and Fatty Fourth beside him also looked on with envy, gazing at the dried meat for a long time.
"Why aren't you eating yet?"
Fatty Sixth said, "This is not ordinary dried meat, but the dried meat of divine beasts. It is extremely beneficial for cultivation. Even Boss hasn't kept much for himself, and if we're discovered, we'll be punished!"
Lu Fan hesitated, then took the dried meat and began to eat it. He was also curious if what everyone said was true, and if this dried meat was really that special.
The moment he ate the dried meat, Lu Fan felt a sense of reality, a tangible presence. The spiritual energy within his body was actually transforming into the purest divine power.
"Such powerful dried meat! Just a single piece like this can have such an effect!"
Lu Fan was shocked. As expected, things in the God Realm were different. Even a common piece of dried meat, if it fell into the lower realm, would be enough to make everyone tremble.
"How is it? Do you know the benefits of the God Realm now?" Liu Da Pang said with a smile. "As long as you work hard, there will be a day when you rise above. The monthly Godhead distribution day is the most exciting, because the power of the Godhead is tens of thousands of times stronger than this dried meat!"
Lu Fan was somewhat excited, especially by what Liu Da Pang had said, which made him feel that it was even more significant.
Tian Long also hesitated and ate the dried meat. He was then greatly shocked, clearly not expecting the dried meat to have such terrifying power, which forced him to believe in certain rules of the God Realm.
Thus, Lu Fan and Tian Long settled their minds in the kitchen and began their work as servants, quickly becoming familiar with everyone.
After finishing their tasks, Lu Fan and the others sat on the beams of the main hall, gazing towards the highest point of Yuqing Mountain. There, a magnificent palace stood, and a peerlessly beautiful divine maiden resided.
However, this was not a place that mere servants could easily enter, yet it was also the place they yearned for the most.
"That is the most prosperous area of Yuqing Mountain!"
Liu Da Pang explained, "As long as you work well in the servant quarters, you can enter there in the future. Perhaps you might even have a chance to be intimate with a divine maiden!"
"Divine maiden?"
Lu Fan asked in surprise, "Who is that?"
