Madam looked at the carefree Li Yunmu and felt somewhat bitter in her heart. Even wanting to live in her own house seemed to be an extravagant hope. From the time she was born, she was destined to be a branch family descendant, a subordinate of a direct descendant.

After respectfully serving the direct descendants for many years, she became a quasi half god and obtained the qualifications to move out of clan residence and settle in the middle city. Then, her life became leisurely like a floating cloud, without the need to listen to anyone’s commands.

Yet now, not only had the Deva Clan dispatched an envoy ordering her to return, the sixth ancestor had come personally to talk to her about it. After being someone’s servant for many years, she clearly understood that both sides wanted her to be their servant, which made her reluctant to move.

Xuan Ren grabbed madam’s shoulder with her complexion somewhat tense. Madam looked at Li Yunmu and said in a calm voice, “Sixth ancestor, we mother and daughter do not want to provoke the Ground Clan. Is it possible to let this house remain in the Ground Clan’s territory? I only want to live leisurely with my daughter instead of returning to Deva Clan.”

Li Yunmu looked at the kowtowing mother and daughter and said, “Give me one reason.”

“Sixth ancestor, your distinguished self was also a branch family descendant previously, so can you not understand my thinking? Regardless of how much strength a branch family descendant possesses, they will only be considered a servant in the clan and have to serve the direct descendants.

“Xuan Ren grew up in the middle city and never understood the difference between direct and branch family descendants. She has also never served aneone. Now, Deva Clan has dispatched an envoy asking me to return.

“If I return, even if I possess quasi half god’s strength, I will still be a servant. Xuan Ren will also become a servant from a carefree child. I don’t want her to become a servant, but to live properly,” madam said with her eyes red.

Xuan Ren kneeling behind her had complex feelings when hearing those words. Tears constantly fell down her face.

“Lord mother…” she whispered.

Li Yunmu slightly frowned. He looked at the mother and daughter, then after pondering it for a while, he began to speak.

“This won’t do. If you want to remain in Ground Clan’s territory, you cannot do so without contributing to it. Only if you both contribute and earn credit points will you have the qualifications to continue residing in Ground Clan’s territory.”

When Xuan Ren heard the first half, her eyes dimmed all of a sudden. Madam, who was still kneeling on the ground, also felt despair. But when the two of them heard the last half, they were startled for a moment.

What was that? Credit point? Doing work to earn credit points, then using them credit points to earn the qualification to reside?

“Lord ancestor, what does your distinguished self mean? What are credit points?” madam asked suspiciously.

Xuan Ren, kneeling behind her, also perked her ears to hear the answer.

At that moment, a miserable scream reached them from outside. Madam, who had been residing in the region for a long time, could distinguish that it belonged to the guy in the fifth household, the direct descendant of Rahu Clan. When he saw her for the first time, he fell in love with her at first sight and kept harassing her every day.

She was helpless against it since Luo Jue was a direct descendant of Rahu Clan and even the son of a god level elder. In order to avoid trouble, she had to shut herself in her house and never go out for a time.

When she heard his miserable wail, her eyes fixed on Li Yunmu who had an indifferent expression on his face, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

Even if Luo Jie was a direct descendant and had a god level elder as a father, the sixth ancestor still attacked him in anger. That meant that if she didn’t return to Deva Clan but continued to forcibly occupy her house, she would end up in the same manner.

When Li Yunmu heard the miserable wail, he didn’t react and just continued their conversation. “You should know that Ground Clan is formed of residents of the lower city. When it was established, I didn’t make any division like direct descendants and branch family descendants. It is to avoid the present situation of the four great clans. In Ground Clan, everyone must rely on their personal worth to acquire credit points.

“Those credit points are like currency. For example, if you knit a good piece of cloth and sell it to Ground Clan, you can obtain a certain amount of credit points. With them, you can get the qualifications to reside in Ground Clan or you can exchange them for other things. In fact, if your credit points cross a certain amount, you can also obtain power of belief.”

Madam carefully listened to Li Yunmu’s words and calculated in her mind that if the credit points could be acquired with relative ease, she could continue staying in Ground Clan and living her leisurely life. But if obtaining credit points was difficult, she could only return to the Deva Clan. Yet when she heard the words ‘power of belief’, an incredulous expression appeared on her face.

After a long time, she slowly asked, “Lord, your distinguished self said that if the amount of credit point crosses a certain limit, then they can be exchanged for power of belief? Is this true?”

“Naturally,” Li Yunmu earnestly said.

After hearing that, madam’s breath instantly became hurried. Admiration appeared in her eyes when she looked at the sixth ancestor who was previously a branch family descendant.

Power of belief could allow anyone to instantly become a god, but it was only used by direct descendants in the four great clans. Even some among them were sometimes unable to obtain any and had to live on trapped at half god level.

Luo Jue was like that. Even with a god level elder as father, he still couldn’t obtain power of belief and was at half god cultivation.

“Lord, if I used the identity of Deva clansman to acquire those credit points, would there be any difference compared to if I belonged to Ground Clan?” madam enquired.

“Naturally, there will be a difference. Ground Clan’s descendants are working for their own clan, so the amount of credit points acquired for every task is double compared to what is given to other clans. If you want to enter Ground Clan though, I will happily welcome you. After all, Ground Clan’s foundation is very shallow right now.”

Li Yunmu spoke with a smile while looking at the somewhat excited madam. Her expression satisfied him. He had known from the start that as long as he said the words power of belief, madam would be attracted.

“Lord, then this servant would like to enter Ground Clan. Is your distinguished self willing?”

Madam smiled, and a charming energy came from her body. She was clear in her heart that Li Yunmu had spoken about the power of belief intentionally. After all, regardless of whoever it was, they would be unable to refuse such a temptation.

If she obtained power of belief, her situation would become completely different. Even if the direct descendants of the four great clans saw her, they would have to kowtow and pay their respects. With a cultivation base of a god, she could protect her daughter even better while allowing her to grow up without a care in the world.

“This works. Beginning from today, you are a member of Ground Clan. Let’s go now, follow me to the other households.”

Li Yunmu stood up and went toward the large door. Madam stood up and followed behind him. Xuan Ren, however, waited until they disappeared before standing up and quietly following behind them.

At the second house, the moment madam slowly walked to the door to knock, but Li Yunmu waved his large hand, and the door instantly shattered. While madam was startled by his actions, he entered, and she soon followed him inside.

“Who is it? Who dares to enter a private residence without permission? Don’t think of leaving alive!”

A voice spoke from the courtyard, and a few figures rushed toward Li Yunmu. Before they could get close to him, they were sent flying away by an invisible power in all directions.
