Thirty years later, Kun Shi Continent.
Da Ling Mountain was a desolate land in the southeast of the continent. There was only a single tree that stood there. Other than the birds that flew across the vast sea that would come here to rest every season, there were very few strange creatures that came here. Thus, it became a gathering place for living tribes.
Because they relied on this giant tree to survive, the tribe was named "Chi". Most of the people built their nests on the tree. This was to avoid floods and fierce beasts, and also to avoid some man-eating monsters. Most of the people in this tribe migrated from other places to avoid disasters more than a hundred years ago. They had been multiplying until now. In the beginning, there were only about a hundred people. After so many years, it had become a small settlement with thousands of people.
Not far from the tribe, there was a shrine that was as tall as a person. The weeds and withered leaves around it were all cleaned up. There was a statue of a little girl sitting inside, and in front of her were pottery bowls and stone plates. There were various beast heads and organs. Although the smell of blood spread, not only did it not attract any insects or beasts, they all avoided it.
As the sun rose, the statue flashed with spiritual light, and a little girl about eight or nine years old jumped out of the shrine. She was the god of this place. Back then, the three people of the Dao, Yuan Zun, seized Qi from the void and created a hundred thousand gods. She was one of them. The moment she appeared in the world was the dawn, so she got her name.
After Ying Xi came out, she looked at the stone altar with anticipation. However, she soon revealed a disappointed expression and pouted. She did not like these bloody things, and preferred the plump grains of rice and wheat.
However, she knew that the Bi tribe only relied on hunting and gathering for a living. When they were lucky, they could fill their stomachs. When they were unlucky, everyone would starve. It was already not easy for them to take out things to offer to her every day.
As if to convince herself, she nodded hard and said, "Yes, Ying Xi can't dislike it."
She sucked hard at the stone altar, and a wave of essence entered her stomach. However, the blood also entered her body. "Ptui ptui, it tastes terrible. Oh, I can't dislike it, I can't dislike it! I have to eat it. "
Even though her little face was scrunched up, she still tried her best to dissolve it. Then, the worlds on the offering table turned into a pile of powder, and a gust of wind blew over, carrying everything away.
She patted her abdomen, which had not changed at all. Then, she turned into a gust of wind and flew up to survey the land.
As the God of this place, her duty was to ensure the survival of this tribe as much as possible. Every day, she needed to drive away the ferocious beasts and monsters that the mortals could not deal with and eliminate poisonous insects and diseases in time. Once she encountered a disaster that even she could not resist, she needed to inform the tribe in time so that they could move and hide in time.
After touring the area under her jurisdiction, she clapped her hands in satisfaction. Protecting these people was like a seedling that had yet to fully mature. Watching them grow strong and healthy day by day filled her heart with a sense of satisfaction.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a murmur in her ears. Her round ears moved a little and she knew that someone had come to the shrine to worship. She listened carefully and found out that it was a woman from the tribe making a wish. She said that her child was sick and she hoped that the deity could save her.
She bit her finger and thought for a while. Then, she looked up and saw that it was almost noon. She flew to the east and after traveling for three thousand miles, she saw a green lake.
Because the land was vast and the population was sparse, every god ruled over a vast territory. In a place with many settlements, the distance between each god was usually several thousand to ten thousand miles. Because they all had the ability to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, the distance between them was not too far. It was just that her place was too remote, and she only had one neighbor.
The place in front of her was called Shanghu, which had a circumference of thirty thousand miles. Therefore, there was a God with considerable mana guarding it. This God was called Xiaoxian, and she usually appeared as a woman in white.
Just Now, she was on the surface of the lake. She saw a beautiful woman with skin as white as porcelain holding a jade flute, walking on the waves. Her long dress was in the water, and her hair and clothes were fluttering in the breeze. In the sky, white birds were flapping their wings and flying, and the reeds by the shore were swaying gently. This scene could be described as poetic and picturesque. Just then, she tiptoed and waved at her from afar. She called out, "Sister Xiaoxian, I'm here to borrow some dew to save someone."
Xiaoxian smiled. With a wave of her hand, she took out a jade bottle. She moved the edge of her mouth slightly down, and a crystal thread slowly flew into it. Then, she shook her wrist, and the jade bottle flew over.
Ying Xi saw that the jade bottle was very big, so she held it with both hands and hugged it to her chest. She said happily, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoxian." She waved her hand, "I have to save someone, so I'll leave first. I'll come back to see you next time."
There was a little reluctance in Xiaoxian's eyes, but she still did not say anything. She only nodded at her lightly.
Ying Xi rode the cloud and flew for more than ten miles. She looked back and saw Xiaoxian standing against the water. She was still looking at her own reflection, and there was a sense of loneliness and weakness. She shook her head. This sister was good in everything. She was gentle and polite, and often helped the weak, but she was a little sentimental.
In fact, these gods were born from impurities, and they had the wishes of living beings. So sometimes, their emotions were even stronger than mortals.
After Ying Xi turned back, she followed the feeling of the Power of Vow and came to where the tribal woman was. She saw the sick child and sprinkled a few drops of dew on him. Seeing that the child fell asleep peacefully and his breathing was stable, she felt relieved and left quietly.
When she returned to the shrine, it was already evening. She saw a man with a bamboo stick, wearing animal skin, and carrying a bamboo basket was walking towards her.
Ying Xi knew his identity at first glance. He was a member of the Zhi clan. It was said that everyone in this clan was taught by the gods in their dreams. Everyone was enlightened, and they received the god's decree to go to various tribes to teach them how to plant crops, raise livestock, and teach them etiquette. Because they were protected by the Weili, they could walk freely in the wasteland without fear of the beasts and monsters.
The man seemed to notice someone was looking at him. He turned around and his expression relaxed. He stood still and bowed to her, "Greetings, Great Goddess."
Ying Xi said, "Zhi Shi, are you here to teach people how to farm?
Zhi Shi smiled warmly, "Yes, only by farming can we have surplus. Only by accumulating surplus can we have a strong population and prosper the tribe. Only then will we have the strength to read and understand etiquette, honor, and disgrace."
Ying Xi said, "But it's hard to farm here."
As the deity of this place, she knew that other than monsters and monsters, there were natural disasters everywhere. Often, a mountain flood would destroy the land that had been worked on for years.
Zhi Shi thought for a while and said, "Not only do I teach people literacy and etiquette, I also teach them how to cut mountains and forge weapons to defend against the beasts and monsters. I also teach them how to build canals and dams, which can be used to increase irrigation and eliminate water pollution. If I succeed, I can ensure the prosperity of the tribe."
Ying Xi said happily, "That's great." But she seemed to have thought of something and her face darkened.
Zhi Shi noticed it too and asked curiously, "Great Goddess? What's going on? "
Ying Xi said dejectedly, "If you succeed, I won't be needed here anymore."
Lady Zhi smiled. "You worry too much, Exalted Deity. Most of the things that Wisdom does are within the capabilities of humans. However, if we encounter something that humans cannot handle, such as those calamities and demons, we still need to rely on you."
Ying Xi blinked her eyes and asked, "Really?" Seeing Zhi Shi nod, she became happy again and said, "There are still a few miles from here, let me bring you there."
Zhi Shi quickly waved her hand and said, "It's just a few steps, how can I trouble you?"
Ying Xi wanted to say something, but she suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from outside, and she could not help but be shocked. Her feet stopped moving, and she flew up into the clouds. She saw a few giants that were incomparably large, and half of their heads were buried in the clouds, walking towards her. With a single step, they crossed several tens of kilometers, and the direction they were heading towards was where the tribe was located.
Her face instantly turned pale as she recognized them as the Daoists. When these giants slept, they rested their heads on the ridge of the mountain and breathed like thunder. When they woke up, they moved mountains and crossed the sea. They were extremely cruel and ate wherever they went. They would not let any living thing go, so she could not help but feel anxious.
Even though she was able to drive away the ferocious beasts, she didn't have the slightest way to fight a giant like this. The latter would be able to arrive here in a few tens of steps at most, so even if she went to Carefree Immortal's place to ask for help now, it would be too late. If she were to migrate the tribe, then she wouldn't be able to go far in a short period of time, and it wouldn't be long before she would be caught up by the giants.
"That's right." Her eyes brightened as she remembered that Zhi Shi always had many ideas. Perhaps he could have a solution, so she flew down and told him about the giants.
When Zhi Shi heard it, his expression turned serious. He thought for a while and asked, "How many people can you bring with you?"
Ying Xi said dejectedly, "I can only bring about a hundred people, any more and I won't have the strength."
Zhi Shi did not panic and said calmly, "The Daoists can't see, they can only distinguish by smell. You can order the tribe to smear grass juice and mud on their bodies to hide their smell. Then, they can migrate to a low-lying area and maybe they can avoid it."
Ying Xi hesitated and asked, "Will it work?"
Zhi Shi comforted her, "The small Daoists are like insects in front of the Daoists. As long as the smell is gone, they won't chase after you."
Ying Xi knew that she couldn't hesitate at this moment. The longer they delayed, the smaller their chances of escaping would be. She nodded heavily, but just as she was about to move, a golden-red light came whistling down from the sky. It circled around the puppets a few times, and then there was a thunderous roar. After a few breaths, the flesh and blood of the puppets were completely swallowed by the light. Then, the giant skeletons lost their strength and fell to the ground. But the strange thing was, the aftermath didn't spread far, only a large cloud of dust rose.
Ying Xi stared with her eyes wide open. Zhi Shi was also shocked. He had never seen such a scene. Even in the pictures given by the deities, there was no similar scene.
After a while, the golden-red light suddenly pierced through the thick smoke and shot towards where they were. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of them. Then, it turned into a pale young man in a golden-red Daoist robe. He looked at Ying Xi and said carelessly, "Hey, are you a deity here?"
Ying Xi saw that he did not look like a good person. Panic showed in her eyes, but she still gathered her courage and stepped forward. She put on an aggressive look and opened her hands to block him. She said with a trembling voice, "Who, who are you, I am the guardian deity here. If you want to swallow the living, as long as I am here, don't even think about it!"
The young man was startled for a moment, then he laughed out loud and said, "Little girl, you're quite interesting. Even though you're just a little god, your courage is not bad." His expression turned serious as he puffed out his chest and said, "Listen up, I'm Zhang Chan, a disciple of the Xuanyuan Tian Qing Palace's Xuanyuan Dao Lord! Today, I came here to find an item. "He took out a scroll and unfurled it." This item, do you two recognize it? "
