Report

After solving the problem of water source, under the leadership of Zhang Tie, all the fighters of the allied forces and those pioneers started to break through the underground tunnel.

Over 60,000 people worked in two shifts 24 hours a day without any rest. With the encouragement and guidance of powerful spiritual energy, all of them burst out great energy and endless potentials. Their progress was getting faster day by day, which amazed Zhang Tie.

At this moment, Zhang Tie really became the spiritual leader and core of these people. Wherever Zhang Tie went, he would see a lot of people bowing to him.

Many fighters and pioneers of the allied forces would prostrate themselves or kneel down on the ground and watch Zhang Tie with fanatical eyes the moment they saw Zhang Tie. After Zhang Tie passed by, they would kiss the path and footprints that Zhang Tie passed by in the most pious and humble manner as if the place that Zhang Tie passed by became sacred.

In such an atmosphere, more and more zealots like Roslav and Waajid gathered on Zhang Tie's side. All the powerful fighters of the huge bear tribe volunteered to be Zhang Tie's bodyguards. No matter where Zhang Tie was, Roslav and Waajid would always follow Zhang Tie.

O'Laura and Setton led the fighters of the grey eagle tribe to follow Zhang Tie without demur...

Sabrina also joined them with her female army...

More and more people started to surround Zhang Tie...

Although it was very tiring to be a God, Zhang Tie could only be a God at this moment. By being a God, everybody could walk out of this perilous place full of fighting spirits and confidence and survive together with each other. Therefore, Zhang Tie had to be a God. Therefore, Zhang Tie could only be a God.

What Zhang Tie did every day was to smile, patrol and perform the God's will under the expectation of the others...

The common tin kettle had already become a sacred item in everyone's eyes.

When not in use, the tin kettle was placed on the stone table in a special tent. It was covered by a thick yellow cloth. Commoners could barely see it. The tent was guarded by fighters 24 hours a day. Besides Zhang Tie and O'Laura, nobody else was qualified to touch it.

Zhang Tie then handed that tin kettle to O'Laura for safekeeping. Each time Zhang Tie wanted to show his "God's will", O'Laura would stand on Zhang Tie's side solemnly with that vase. Because of this, O'Laura got a new title — — Vase Saintess!

There were many people on Zhang Tie's side, including military craftsmen of the allied forces and pioneers who knew various skills. Therefore, Zhang Tie had some craftsmen use the huge rocks that collapsed in the tunnel as raw materials. He created seven stone vats with huge capacities. It was placed at the entrance of the passageway for those who were thirsty to get water.

Each of the seven huge stone vats was more than a meter tall and two meters wide, and each had a capacity of about three cubic meters. The total capacity of the seven vats was more than twenty cubic meters.

Most of the warriors of the allied forces and those common pioneers were above LV 3. Their physical potentials had been developed to a certain degree. In this condition, if they just wanted to survive, each of them would need about 150ml of water a day. Even though they would consume a lot of water in physical labor, they could still drink 300ml of water a day.

There were over 40,000 people in the underground world who could not guarantee their water demand. Their pure water demand was about 12 tons a day. After the seven vats were filled, the shortage of drinking water in the underground world could be filled at once.

The most important thing that Zhang Tie did every day was to "manifest the God's will" by filling up those huge vats with water from that water bottle.

When Zhang Tie showed his will, it was the most solemn and sacred moment in the underground world. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Zhang Tie took the sacred vase from O'Laura. Closely after that, clear spring water surged out of the mouth of the vase. Only after a short while, those vats had been filled.

After the Great Cataclysm, there was an explosion of human belief. Not to mention how excited those who originally believed in the existence of God would be, even the non-believers and the more radical atheists would have their worldviews instantly collapse if they saw this scene.

Apart from God, no matter how hard you racked your brains, you wouldn't be able to understand how an ordinary bottle could have so much water flowing out continuously. In the eyes of those who had faith, even if a drop of water appeared under the eyelids of an idol, those people would think that it was the tear of God. It was an incomparably sacred thing, let alone such a scene.

It was Sabrina and her female subordinates who were responsible for guarding these vats and distributing water to those people who queued up here every day. Because of this, Sabrina had a new name — — Manna Saintess!

Each time Zhang Tie showed his "God's will" in front of the public, Zhang Tie's image would grow taller and more sacred.

On the 7th day, when Zhang Tie filled the 7 vats with water again, under the gaze of everyone else, a white-haired pioneer with wrinkled face walked out of the onlookers with decisive and heavy steps. He came to the front of Zhang Tie and knelt down. Raising his tearful face, he looked at Zhang Tie and raised his hands like praying.

"O most holy person in the world, you have shown us an irrefutable miracle, showing us the greatness and mercy of God. We are already convinced. Now, please use your mercy and wisdom to reveal the immortal truth to us, so that we, the lost sheep, can once again return to God's embrace. Let us see the light in the darkness, let us see hope in the pain, let our souls return to the kingdom of God, and no longer fall into depravity!"

This was completely an accident. Zhang Tie had not imagined that such a thing could happen at all. Zhang Tie knew that it was because he had been too successful in pretending to be a God these days. As a result, everybody else was immersed in the God's will and believed in the God's will.

Zhang Tie watched the old pioneer calmly. Given the old pioneer's wrinkled face and tears, Zhang Tie knew that he did that voluntarily without being instructed by anyone. Perhaps for these people who were already old, their thirst for faith was even more urgent.

The so-called proclamation of the immortal truth was naturally to preach in a dignified manner. How could he have the qualifications to preach? He could just casually say a few words to fool others. If he really opened his mouth to speak nonsense, he could not guarantee that his identity as a fraud would immediately fall from the altar. At this moment, Zhang Tie was sweating heavily inside. If not being watched by so many people, Zhang Tie really wanted to kneel down in front of this old man and beg loudly, "Grandpa, please spare me." "I'm just a guy who graduated from the No. 7 National Middle School in Blackhot City. You want me to preach here? Are you trying to ruin my place? Fine. You can ruin my place when you leave here, but not at this moment... "

Zhang Tie forcefully swallowed his saliva. When he wanted to find some words to solve this problem, he found that more and more people were kneeling down like that old man...

"Please reveal the immortal truth to us..."

...

"Please reveal the immortal truth to us..."

Zhang Tie became dumbfounded at the sight of Roslav and Waajid kneeling down on one knee in front of him and watching him with longing eyes.

Of course, Zhang Tie's dumbfounded look also indicated that he was contemplating solemnly in the eyes of the others.

"Castle Lord, please promise them. This is a chance!" Heller's voice sounded in Zhang Tie's mind.

"Ah, but what should I say? If I say it, I'm afraid that I would be exposed in less than 10 minutes!"

"Don't worry about that, Castle Lord, just follow the script!"

"What do you mean follow the script?"

The moment Zhang Tie finished his words, he had felt his mind faintly swollen as he received a lot of information from the marvelous arched door, which seemed to be the contents of a complete book.

"What's this?"

"This is the Book of Eternity which has long disappeared in the long history of humans. Tens of millions of years ago, in a certain period of human history, this book supported the most powerful and prosperous world religion. This book is the holy book that everyone in that religion worships!"

Zhang Tie became faintly shocked. He didn't ask Heller why he had such a private collection at all. At this moment, he was thinking about the most powerful and prosperous world religion tens of millions of years ago. "Is it okay to disseminate the contents of this book to the public?"

"No, there won't be any problems. In the era when this book was popular, people didn't pursue external strength, but the sublimation of the soul and the perfection of the spiritual world. This is completely different from what people in this era are pursuing. The truth in this age is the fist. However, the contents of this book can satisfy people's pursuit for the truth on the spiritual level besides the fist. "

After hearing this, Zhang Tie became reassured. As long as the contents of the book didn't threaten him or cause troubles to the world, it would be fine.

'But why is Heller so active this time? Before I beg him, he has already inserted the contents of a book into my mind? '

After thinking about it for a short while, Zhang Tie had forgotten about it. He had to deal with the current situation first...

The contents of the Book of Eternity flashed across Zhang Tie's mind as the solemn look of a fraud appeared on his face once again.

"You want to pursue the immortal truth, but do you know what is the truth?"

Zhang Tie's question stunned all the others at present. What was the truth? Nobody had thought about this question before …

However, Zhang Tie didn't need others' answer; instead, he started to preach...

"There is no big or small truth, no difficulty, and no decay or immortality. All truths are the same. They all express the same meaning. The so-called truth is the pinnacle of love!"

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, everybody was shocked — — the truth is the extreme of love. It was their first time to hear such a shocking content.

"The truth itself is not the key. What counts is its source, which is the origin of all the brightness and sacredness. Its value is immeasurable..."

"The truth is the expression of love. The real truth lies in the love that stimulates the truth. All the sacredness and miracles that you've seen are the most honest expression of the truth..."

"Sacredness is each person's right. However, before being sacredness, one has to purify himself first; otherwise, the sacredness would be hidden..."

"All the truths mean life. They are connected with life. This connection is salvation. It's salvation when the rich give to the poor; it's salvation when the powerful protect the weak; it's salvation when the one standing on the riverside pulls the drowning out; it's salvation when the wise help the stupid distinguish right from wrong. That's how the truth comes into being..."

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, tens of thousands of people became silent once again like sweet dew flowing into their hearts...

...

At this moment, Maxim was so thrilled that he couldn't help quivering all over due to the sacred sense of mission. Quivering hands, he recorded each word of Zhang Tie...

...

From today on, Zhang Tie had one more job — — preach after displaying the God's will every day!

After Zhang Tie started to preach, the underground tunnel became more efficient. What made Zhang Tie amazed was that even Gangula had rolled up his sleeves and started to move stones on the third day after his preach.

Meanwhile, Zhang Tie found a sequela, namely, everybody was looking at him in a strange way. Even Sabrina, O'Laura and Setton who were familiar with him dared not look straight into his eyes; instead, they lowered their eyes out of respect.

...

Although the collapsed stones blocked their way out, they could not block the connection between this place and the outside world. As long as they had remote-sensing crystals, their connection with the outside world would not be affected at all.

Zhang Tie didn't know that the entire Ice and Snow Wilderness had long been in an uproar when he was trapped here.

On October 8th, 100,000 xiphodon cavalries of huge bear tribe crossed the Costari Plain in the middle of Ice and Snow Wilderness and headed all the way towards the south...
