In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 2 Gu Yuexi, who is three zhang tall (about ten meters)
She's really lucky!
In her first life, she was an ordinary office worker in the modern world, working diligently to earn money every day. One day, while working overtime, a thunderstorm struck, and on her way home, she was sent to the cultivation world by a bolt of lightning and born in a place called Xinglong City.

Although she transmigrated into the body of an orphan, her beauty made her the personal maid of the city lord's wife, ensuring she had no worries about food or clothing and a secure livelihood.

The city lord's mansion was wiped out by evil cultivators, but she was rescued by a cultivator.

After that, they arrived at the Vast Ocean Immortal Sect.

She entered the sect and worked as a servant. She awakened a superior water and wood spiritual root. With her talent and hard work, she entered the inner sect. Because she looked very much like the sect leader's daughter, she was adopted by the sect leader as his goddaughter.

When her adoptive father passed away, she was recommended to the Divine Light Sect, the number one sect in the Nine Realms, because of her Golden Core cultivation. She was accepted as a personal disciple by the sect's grandmaster.

After her master passed away, she was found by the Wushi Imperial Clan, the most powerful of the three great imperial clans in the cultivation world. They said she was the eighth young lady of the Wushi Imperial Clan, who had been missing since childhood.

With countless cultivation resources and the protection of many powerful figures, he finally reached the ascension tribulation stage. He single-handedly withstood 99,999 ascension tribulation lightning bolts, but he couldn't withstand the last one and was about to die.

But now I've been saved by the system and ended up in this little world!

A glimmer of hope appeared; she could continue her cultivation.

"Zero One, find me a place to stay first." Gu Yuexi suddenly remembered that she had given all her belongings to the Wushi Emperor Clan before her tribulation.

At that time, she had reached the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. The most advanced cultivation resources in the cultivation world were useless to her, so she might as well give them back to the younger generation of cultivators.

So much so that she is now completely broke.

When people are deities, they need a divine concept or something similar to make it easier for humans to come to them.

[Host, would you like to receive the newbie gift pack?]

"take over!"

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Golden Saint Divine Palace, Protective Barrier (the host is invincible within the Divine Palace), and Golden Saint Divine Essence (fused with the Mountain Spirit)]

[The Golden Saint Divine Palace is located on the mountain ahead. Head directly there. The protective barrier has been set up, and the Golden Saint Divine Spark has been fused with the host's divine soul.]

Gu Yuexi felt her soul covered by a layer of radiant and gentle moisture.

[By fusing with the Golden Saint Divine Spark, the host will govern all living beings in the Golden Saint Mountain Range. Once the host obtains 100 Faith Points, they can exchange them for Holy Spirit Root cultivation.]

Now, Gu Yuexi is a mortal, but after merging with the mountain spirit, she feels a subtle connection between herself and the Golden Saint Mountain Range.

Once she begins her cultivation, she will likely be able to deepen this connection.

Once the host cultivates to the Foundation Establishment stage, the system will bestow upon the host an extraordinary opportunity no less significant than the Holy Spirit Root.

Gu Yuexi was delighted: "Really? Thank you, Zero One!"

The stronger the host, the better for the system! In short, it's a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Now, she should go to Shenque to settle down first.

Standing three zhang tall (about ten meters), Gu Yuexi strode towards the direction indicated by the system.

……

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was warlike, and the wars continued year after year, causing immense suffering to the people.

This is a man-made disaster.

For more than three years, the sixteen prefectures in the northwest have not received rain. The land is parched, the vegetation is withered, and corpses are everywhere.

This is a natural disaster.

Natural disasters and man-made calamities plunged the people of the Great Xia Dynasty into misery.

At the foot of Qihuang Mountain
Peach Blossom Village

Around a muddy ditch about the width of an adult's palm, dozens of people looked ashen-faced.

"Heavens above! How can anyone live like this!" The old woman, thin as a stick, wailed. Her skin looked like tree bark that would peel off at the slightest touch, and her lips were cracked. Although she cried out in a miserable and sorrowful way, not a single tear fell.

In the crowd, Zhang Gousheng looked at the mud in the ditch in despair, his arm holding the bucket trembling violently.

The only river at the foot of Qihuang Mountain has dried up!

He has been waiting for three days. If no water comes out soon, more people in the village will die of thirst.

Three years ago, it suddenly snowed in June, and the snow fell for more than half a month. After that, the sun scorched the earth like fire, and it continues to this day.

All the men in the village, from eighty to twelve, were conscripted by the dog emperor, leaving only a few young children, some frail women, and elderly women.

There used to be several rivers at the foot of Qihuang Mountain, but half a year ago only one was still flowing, while the others had dried up and become barren land.

Now even this last remaining river is about to disappear.

No! He must find a way to get water. Last year, his grandfather, father, and elder brother were conscripted into the army, his grandmother died of thirst due to drought, and now his mother and younger sister are also in dire straits.

As the only man in the family, he had to take care of his mother and younger sister.

He glanced at the towering, mysterious, and terrifying Seven Emperors Mountain, then, without a second thought, left the crowd and secretly slipped inside.
