The God Worshipping Society is spread throughout the twenty-four provinces of the Great Qian, with the six provinces of the Eastern Lands as its core. However, Du Haitang was not very clear about the specific location of the main hall.
The society is headed by thirteen Venerables, namely: Sly Rat, Brutal Ox, Mysterious Tiger, Cunning Rabbit, Esteemed Dragon, Alluring Snake, Scarlet Horse, Yin Goat, White Monkey, Morning Rooster, Heavenly Dog, Filthy Pig, and the most mysterious, Longevity Turtle.
These thirteen Venerables are led by the Esteemed Dragon as the Dragon Lord, and have established twelve Divine Gates. Each Divine Gate is controlled by a Venerable, and they are divided into the Celestial Four Symbols and the Terrestrial Six Harmonies.
The Celestial Four Symbols are the four Heavenly Venerables of the Orthodox Divine Path, who receive divine will and deliver immeasurable decrees.
The Terrestrial Six Harmonies serve as the backbone, focusing on collecting various natural treasures for the God Worshipping Society, as well as extensively recruiting disciples.
The God Worshipping Society accepts disciples regardless of aptitude or spiritual roots, only recruiting from those who suffer. Therefore, it is a mixed bag, with loyal individuals as well as those who bully others. These people are all free agents and are the least valued by the God Worshipping Society.

If they perform well and repeatedly make contributions, they can officially join the society and become disciples of the Terrestrial Six Harmonies Divine Gate. This is the grassroots foundation of the God Worshipping Society and the main force for its expansion throughout the twenty-four provinces.
Further advancement leads to becoming a Six Harmonies Divine Envoy, where the twelve Venerables personally bestow power. If they can go even further, they can enter the ranks of the Outer Divine Envoys and receive divine纹 (shénwén - divine纹, can also be god-mark, divine tattoo, etc. I will use the term godmark) bestowed by the Venerables. These are the elite disciples under the Six Harmonies, capable of independently leading teams to complete missions. Above the Outer Divine Envoys are the Inner Divine Envoys, who are the personal attendants of the twelve Venerables.
As for the Celestial Four Symbols, Du Haitang only knew what they were but not why. The Four Symbols Gate is too mysterious, and only those personally selected by the four Venerables can enter. Although Du Haitang was an Outer Divine Envoy, she had never come into contact with anyone from the Four Symbols Gate. She had only vaguely heard the Yin Goat Venerable mention that there seemed to be disciples from other immortal sects within the Four Symbols Gate. Whether this was true or not was unknown.
After hearing about the structure of the God Worshipping Society, Jiang Wen realized how vast it truly was. The Celestial Four Symbols, the Terrestrial Six Harmonies. A disciple like Du Haitang, who had joined the society for decades, was only an Outer Divine Envoy. Above her were the Inner Divine Envoys, the Four Symbols Gate, and the twelve Venerables.
He had just examined Du Haitang's body and found that the godmark on her body could indeed bring power to someone without spiritual roots. However, the price was even greater, as she had to endure the pain of being cut by knives every moment. It was hard to imagine someone being able to persevere for so many years under such extreme torture, and even remain conscious.
Du Haitang also saw Jiang Wen's sigh and smiled, touching the godmark on her neck, "So there are many madmen in the God Worshipping Society, especially the so-called Divine Envoys. They have all lost their minds and have no emotions. The godmark has given us power, but it is also a shackle. Once we betray the God Worshipping Society, the godmark will devour everything from the host."
Jiang Wen was silent and thought of the Alluring Snake, Chi Yao. He asked Du Haitang, "Do you know which gate this Alluring Snake belongs to?"
"Venerable Alluring Snake? She is the Venerable of the Snake Gate, one of the Six Harmonies. I have never met her, but I have heard that this person is extremely terrifying, and the disciples of other gates are unwilling to associate with her. Moreover, there is an item in the God Worshipping Society that is controlled by Venerable Alluring Snake, but for some reason, the supply has been cut off recently." Du Haitang rummaged through her memories, telling Jiang Wen what she knew about the Alluring Snake.
Seeing her blank look, which did not seem fake, Jiang Wen understood that the death of the Alluring Snake, Chi Yao, was probably only known to the thirteen Venerables. Previously, that Filthy Pig also said that the Alluring Snake was killed by him, which was actually wrong but not entirely wrong.
The Alluring Snake was chased by them to Black Cloud Mountain, but in the end, she died under the flying knife of that mysterious person. If they had not seen it wrong at the time, the Alluring Snake seemed to be asking that mysterious person for help, which meant that the person who killed the Alluring Snake must be someone familiar with her, and whose strength was sufficient to contend with them. This person is so mysterious, he must be one of these thirteen Venerables. Except for the Alluring Snake herself, the remaining twelve Venerables are all possible. And that Dragon Lord probably doesn't need to take action himself. Since this Filthy Pig and Yin Goat don't know about this, then the person who killed the Alluring Snake is very likely among the rest.
Jiang Wen could not temporarily figure out which of the remaining Venerables would kill the Alluring Snake, and asked about the remaining twelve zodiac Venerables, Du Haitang answered one by one. This time, Jiang Wen discovered that each Venerable's corresponding title had a corresponding reason. Just like the Yin Goat and Filthy Pig, they are known for their extremely Yin and evil techniques, so they dare not attack the locust tree.
He recited the names of the Venerables again, and the thirteenth Longevity Turtle aroused his interest. Longevity Turtle, Longevity Turtle, so does that mean he has lived for a long time?
Jiang Wen thought to himself, and then said to Du Haitang, "Do you know anything about this thirteenth Venerable, Longevity Turtle?"
"Longevity Turtle?" Du Haitang was at a loss, shaking her head to indicate that she didn't know much. "I know nothing about Venerable Longevity Turtle, he is also the most mysterious of the thirteen Venerables."
"Well, we know what we need to know, thank you." Jiang Wen spread his hands and conjured a jade bottle. As soon as the bottle stopper was opened, a strong fragrance wafted out.
Purple Joy, who was next to her, smelled it and couldn't help but drool. She stared at the bottle and cried out, "Brother, I want it! I want it! Give it to Purple Joy quickly, give it to me."
Even A'Gu and Hongluan, who were watching from the side, were very curious and stared at the bottle in Jiang Wen's hand.
Du Haitang felt as if she had fallen into a beautiful dream, a dream with green mountains and clear waters, with a small bridge and houses. And she was bathing in the spring breeze, lying on the crisp grass and sleeping soundly.
How wonderful it would be if I could never wake up. Du Haitang thought.
But the next moment she returned to reality, the feeling of comfort disappeared, but there was no pain of being cut by knives.
She looked at Jiang Wen in surprise, not knowing what was going on.
"I have temporarily suppressed the side effects of this godmark, although I don't understand how this godmark was formed, I can alleviate your pain. However, this effect can only last for a month, and next time you can only ask me to renew it." Jiang Wen explained to her, and Du Haitang understood.
She pulled up her collar and said to Jiang Wen gratefully, "I will never forget your great kindness. A month is enough, I am already satisfied."
Jiang Wen could only nod when he heard this, he was not omnipotent after all. There is no way to solve all problems.
However, the godmark is quite peculiar, it can give power to those without spiritual roots.
Godmark, idol……
Jiang Wen suddenly thought of the stone tablet, he looked at the godmark on Du Haitang's body and said again, "Can I touch the godmark on your body again?"
"Of course, as long as you don't mind." Du Haitang frankly pulled open her collar, allowing the warm fingers to touch her collarbone.
Closing his eyes, Jiang Wen entered his consciousness. He came to the stone tablet and touched it, telling the stone tablet what he wanted to do.
"Deduce the godmark."
[Deducing the godmark requires spending 10,000 merit points and takes 90 days.]
[Do you want to start the deduction?]
"Yes." Jiang Wen invested the merit points in it without hesitation, watching the time gradually disappear on the stone tablet. He really wanted to add more merit points to speed it up, but the stone tablet showed that it could not be sped up.
He withdrew his consciousness and looked at Du Haitang, and said, "Wait for me for three months, okay?"
