A little rabbit and a skinny little bird added up wouldn't even be enough to fill the stomachs of one or two people. There were more than a hundred thousand people in this mountain stronghold. This bit of meat wouldn't even make a splash. It was simply a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. It wouldn't help at all. The chief of the Miao Village was an old man. He had a dignified aura. In the Miao Village, his words carried enormous weight. No one could refute him. He had high prestige and seniority. His name was Yu Zhenlin. He was not young. He was already more than fifty years old. Under normal circumstances, due to the nourishment of the spiritual energy in the Eternal World, the lifespan of ordinary people would be greatly extended. It was normal for them to live up to ninety years old, let alone a hundred years old.
It could even be said that fifty years old was not considered old. He was still considered middle-aged. If he entered the path of cultivation and became a cultivator, his lifespan would be even longer.
Yu Zhenlin also cultivated. He was a cultivator, but the hair on his head had already turned white. Looking at his old appearance, one could feel the pressure in his heart. The various tasks that he had to take on every day had brought him a great burden.
The Miao Village was suffering.
Lin Zhenlin felt bitter in his heart. One should know that there was famine everywhere. The land had become barren. The amount of food planted was less than thirty percent of what it used to be. Some lands had no harvest at all. Moreover, the surrounding ferocious beasts and birds had become even more violent. Driven by hunger, they constantly attacked the people in the Miao Village. Many people had died under the claws of the ferocious beasts.
This was just at the beginning of the demon disaster. Until now, the number of ferocious beasts and birds had been decreasing. Even if there were still ferocious beasts and birds, they were all extremely powerful. If one was not powerful enough, provoking them would be equivalent to courting death. Instead, they were often targeted by the ferocious beasts and birds. Under surprise attacks, the people were taken away and turned into food for their mouths. If not for the experts of the Moon Worshipping Cult guarding the Miao Village, the ferocious beasts alone would have destroyed the Miao Village.
It was not only the Miao Village. It was the same in the entire Lunar Worshipping Realm. The situation varied, but food had become more precious than gold. Every month, the Moon Worshipping Cult and even the Nanzhao Kingdom would allocate some food to the various Miao Villages and towns. But the problem was, even if he cooked porridge every day, the kind that could be seen clearly, it would not last for a month. He would have to eat two meals a day, and he would have to starve from time to time.
Every night, there would be people who could not endure it and died of hunger.
Originally, there were more than a hundred thousand people, but now, there were less than sixty to seventy thousand people left in the stronghold.
They had lost almost half of their members. This was famine.
This was the consequence of not having enough food.
The people in the Hmong Village fell silent after seeing the harvest of the hunting team.
They had experienced too many situations like this, and had become accustomed to it. They would not blame the hunting team, because they knew that the hunting team had tried their best. The ferocious beasts around them had either left, died, or were too powerful to be provoked. Every time they went out to hunt, it was just a wish in their hearts.
I hope I can see a glimmer of hope.
"I heard that the Devil Calamity in Da Yi Immortal Court isn't that serious, and there's enough food. Everyone can eat their fill and have three meals a day, with meat, vegetables, and white rice. I really want to know what kind of life it is like. "
"I heard that there are Void Trains in Da Yi Immortal Court that travel to various domains to pick up the people. But why haven't we seen it before? "
In the Hmong Village, the people looked up into the void, as if they could see the legendary Void Train descending from the sky in the next second, bringing them out of this miserable world. If this continued, they would definitely starve to death.
According to some news, cannibalism had started to appear in many strongholds.
Thinking of that scene, countless people revealed a kind of fear, and even a trace of desire in their eyes.
In the face of hunger, human nature was really unable to withstand the test.
If one had not experienced hunger, one would not be able to understand that kind of despair. A piece of meat in front of one's eyes would light up.
Recently, they had heard a lot of news about Da Yi Immortal Court.
There were countless descriptions of the beautiful life in Da Yi Immortal Court. They had three meals a day, as well as supper. Every day, they could eat meat, eat fresh vegetables, drink delicious wine, drink all kinds of drinks, and eat all kinds of desserts. All kinds of delicious snacks, etc.
When those news reached the ears of the people, they could not stop drooling.
That kind of desire could not be described with words.
Hunger was the greatest way to wear down one's will.
In the Moon Worshipping Domain.
There was a huge island in the Goddess Lake. On the island was the base of the Moon Worshipping Cult. One could see many towering palaces. They gave off a special charm.
On the island, there was a Spirit Mountain called Moon Worshipping Peak.
Moon Worshipping Peak was the core of the Moon Worshipping Cult. Moon Worshipping Hall was built on it, and it was the residence of the Moon Worshipping Cult Master. Looking up, one could feel a formless might appearing between heaven and earth.
At this moment, within Lunar Rite Hall, a tall and slender middle-aged man in spotless white robes was silently looking at the sky. A full moon was slowly rising into the sky, and its gentle moonlight scattered down onto the ground. However, it seemed slightly desolate. Countless lives had silently left under the moonlight, and they'd entered eternal silence.
One could feel an indescribable kindness and love from the man's back.
"Sect Master, the King of Nanzhao has sent news that the country's food supply is almost exhausted. This year, there has been a huge drop in production. The entire Moon Worshipping Domain has fallen into a state of destitution. Many Hmong villages have even started cannibalism. If we don't think of something, I'm afraid we'll have to give up some of the people. We'll have to preserve some of them and survive this crisis. "
A young man stood behind him and complained.
The young man's face was full of heroic spirit. He could be said to be a talented man.
"Tang Yu, Little Treasure, tell me, was my dream really wrong? Why did the heavens send such a demon disaster just as we were about to realize it? Why did they destroy my good situation overnight? Under the rule of the Moon Worshipping Cult, cannibalism still happens? How laughable, how ironic. "
The Moon Worshipping Sect Master took a deep breath and looked at the bright moon, his face full of confusion.
He wanted to build a world filled with love. He wanted the people under the rule of the Moon Worshipping Cult to become happy because of love. To become a real paradise on earth, a holy land for the Human Race. But why was reality so cruel?
Everything in front of him told him how huge the gap between his dream and reality was.
This was a blow to his dream.
His faith was shaken.
He thought that no matter what difficulties he faced, he could spread love to the world. Let love dissolve everything.
But the problem now was that the so-called love was worthless and useless in the face of hunger.
He had incredible magic power, but he couldn't conjure up enough food to satisfy the entire domain. The Moon Worshipping Cult had a mystic realm that could grow food. But the food produced was still like a cup of water. It was hard to continue.
Setbacks after setbacks made even the Moon Worshipping Sect Master feel indescribable exhaustion and confusion.
"Sect Master, you're not wrong. What's wrong is the timing. The demon disaster came too quickly. If we had enough time to develop and accumulate enough reserves, even if it's a demon disaster, we would definitely be able to survive."
Tang Yu and Little Treasure shook their heads and said.
"Sect Master, the Da Yi Celestial Court sent news that they are willing to provide help to our Moon Worshipping Domain. As long as we open the domain barrier, they will send a batch of food to the people in the domain to help the victims."
Elder Shi Gonghu, who was standing at the side, said.
"Did Da Yi state any conditions?"
Moon Worshipping asked.
"No, there are no conditions."
Shi Gonghu shook his head and said.
Moon Worshipping was silent for a moment. He looked up at the bright moon and sighed, "Pass down the order. Welcome the envoy of Da Yi and let him enter the Moon Worshipping Domain to help the victims. Submit a letter of surrender to the Da Yi Celestial Court. The Moon Worshipping Cult is willing to submit to the Da Yi Celestial Court along with the Moon Worshipping Domain. We hope that the Da Yi Celestial Court will do its best to help the victims on account of the Human Race. If there is any need, the Moon Worshipping Cult will fully cooperate. "
As his voice faded, the Moon Worshipping Sect Master slowly closed his eyes.
Don't worry about the scarcity, worry about the disparity.
The Da Yi Star Network covered the entire Eternal World, including the Moon Worshipping Domain. There were countless common people and cultivators who owned the Star Watch. Even if they could only log into the outer network, they could still see many videos on the inner network. Many of them were filmed in the various Immortal Cities of the Da Yi Celestial Court, allowing people to see the prosperity of the Immortal Cities with their own eyes.
Even in the midst of the Devil Disaster, the damage of the Devil Disaster in the Da Yi Realm was much weaker than in other places. The people in the city were still living in peace and prosperity. Food was endless. To Da Yi, famine did not exist at all.
This comparison was a complete disaster.
If not for the Moon Worshipping Cult being kind to the people, the entire domain would have been in chaos and could not be maintained.
Who did not yearn for it? Who did not look forward to it?
Only after experiencing hunger could one understand what kind of life the people in Da Yi Realm lived.
The people's hearts were already wavering.
Even if Da Yi did not say it, many people had been looking forward to the day when they could become Da Yi's people. They would become the real Barbarians and enjoy the wonderful treatment that was like a dream.
"I can't fill the world with love, so I'll let Da Yi bring it to you."
The Moon Worshipping Sect Master sighed in his heart, feeling a deep sense of defeat.
"I hope that Da Yi can treat the people of the Moon Worshipping Domain well."
Shi Gonghu took a deep breath and sighed.
Most of the people in the domain were Miao people, the Jiuli tribe. Now, it was up to Da Yi to accept it and treat them well. But now, there was no other way. The Moon Worshipping Cult had no food, and the Nanzhao Kingdom also had no food. If this continued, the people would die in large numbers. They would starve to death.
This was a real famine.
This was a disaster.
In the face of a disaster, unless they did not care about the people in the domain, they could only rely on Da Yi and submit to Da Yi. This was the only chance to break out of this situation.
