I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 238 - 8: Forging Great Achievements Through Merits (2/3)

The border between Baling Kingdom and Guifang Kingdom.

"Is this also the Divine Statue of Destiny?"

Standing before a colossal statue.

A man dressed in burlap and wearing straw sandals showed a peculiar expression.

Behind him, Xiao Yue, with horns on his head, wings on his back, and a body as red as fire, smiled wryly.

"It seems it is. This is the statue the villagers made for him."

Looking up at the enormous statue.

Xiao Yue could no longer remember how many versions of the Divine Statue of Destiny he had seen.

Fortunately, compared to the abstract statues of Destiny, this village's statue at least had some human form.

The upper body was human, and the lower body was a raging tide...

The human body was also covered with fish scales and various strange patterns, adding some characteristics of a Human-faced Fish.

"It's really interesting. It's the first time I've seen a god who doesn't care about his image like this."

"If it were any other gods, they would scold these villagers in their dreams, right?"

In response to the man's banter, Xiao Yue unexpectedly explained.

"I think it's probably because the prophet hasn't become a god yet..."

"Once he officially becomes a god, he will naturally unify his image in people's minds, laying the foundation for advancing to a Celestial God."

In this era, there was no such thing as incense offerings or faith.

Listening to the voices of followers was one of the basic abilities of gods.

And using this ability to consolidate their image and anchor their existence was a common practice among Celestial Gods to maintain themselves.

"Becoming a god?"

"Do you really think that prophet would want to become a god?"

The man glanced at Xiao Yue with a half-smile, half-skeptical question.

"Uh, he probably will, right?"

"After all, in this world, there aren't many who would willingly give up becoming a god like you."

Scratching his head uncertainly, Xiao Yue mumbled in confusion.

"Not many, but not none either."

"From the prophet's various actions, he clearly is that exception."

Before Xiao Yue could refute, the man continued on his own.

"He cares for the Mountain People of Hundred Lands, pioneering new cultivation methods..."

"Then he killed Wuzhiqi, quelling all the water disasters around the Hundred Lands Mountain Range..."

"Such achievements, even in Great Xia, are enough to qualify him as my candidate, to inherit the position of the future 'Common Lord'."

The man's, or rather Wu Yi's, voice was filled with a sense of wonder.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could hardly believe that such a person was still just a youth.

Not to mention, the feats Wu Yi just mentioned were only a part of the youth's achievements, not even the main part.

Clearing fertile land, cultivating good crops, domesticating poultry, surveying water veins, building waterworks...

Recording writings, inventing tools, building roads, spreading technology, authoring books and teaching...

All these deeds combined, even if only one percent were believable, would be enough to rival the first Common Lord.

Not to mention, based on the information Wu Yi obtained from Xiao Yue's memory.

These rumors were not enough to fully describe the youth's achievements.

Throughout the journey, Wu Yi also witnessed the youth's ability to command Spirit Monsters and restrain Ghost Gods, seemingly omnipotent.

"The road ahead should be the most dangerous place we've encountered on this journey, right?"

Gazing at the Guifang Kingdom, which had become a wasteland, Wu Yi said slowly.

Now the Guifang Kingdom was destroyed, and the land ravaged by floods was untended, long since becoming desolate mountains and wilderness.

Adding to it was the Netherworld Wind that always hovered over the Guifang Kingdom, sparing no Ghost God or Spirit Monster.

Just standing in the village, Wu Yi could feel the despair and deathly stillness of that land.

"I asked the Mountain People here before, that Netherworld Wind should be the once Five Directions God—Heaven-Howling Clan..."

Also looking at the silent land, Xiao Yue reported the information he had gathered in advance.

"Its hatred only targets Wuzhiqi's subordinates and the Water Gods who took advantage of the chaos..."

"As outsiders like us, as long as we don't actively provoke it in Cliff City, Heaven-Howling Clan won't bother us."

In the following description by Xiao Yue, Wu Yi came to understand the dominance of Heaven-Howling Clan.

Having lost its nation, Heaven-Howling Clan's remaining humanity was sustained solely by hatred.

This was not uncommon among Celestial Gods.

Especially those Celestial Gods who had lived for over a thousand years.

What truly surprised Wu Yi was that Heaven-Howling Clan, though transformed into a vengeful Netherworld Wind, did not completely lose control.

On the contrary, as long as Heaven-Howling Clan was not angered, the Guifang Kingdom was even safer than other places.

At least, the Guifang Kingdom had no Water Gods instigating water disasters, nor Spirit Monsters taking advantage of the chaos.

...........................

Until Wu Yi and Xiao Yue officially entered the boundary of Guifang Kingdom.

They realized that although there were no Water God or Spirit Monster disturbances here, it was not a habitable place either.

The land ravaged by floods had not yet recovered...

The riverbanks washed away could hardly even sustain fish...

The destroyed ecosystems simply could not be restored in just a few short years.

An endless expanse of swamps and overflowing rivers had become the norm of this land.

As the two continued deeper.

Wu Yi soon discovered something even more shocking.

The country's desolation was not only due to the Netherworld Wind lingering over the land.

The divine relics scattered everywhere were also a major reason people kept their distance.

They were remnants of the battle fought by Heaven-Howling Clan, Tunchao Clan, Tufang Clan, and Wuzhiqi, true Celestial God remains.

Eliminating those surface damages.

The chaotic Earth Vein, Water Vein, and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in these places would continue affecting this region for decades, even hundreds of years.

Without the presence of another Celestial God to gradually smooth out the chaotic Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

No one could survive here, let alone settle permanently.

"This small Guifang Kingdom... truly hides dragons and tigers!"

Since the Guifang Kingdom was far beyond the dominion of Great Xia.

Wu Yi never thought there could be Celestial Gods here capable of countering Wuzhiqi, and not just one.

"We are indeed too far from here..."

"By the time news reached Great Xia, besides knowing that Wuzhiqi was defeated by the Red-haired Celestial Being and Celestial Erosion Monarch working together, there was no useful information at all."
