Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 50 Watch me hand-mold a god statue!

"Okay, then it's settled!"

"It's a deal, Your Majesty!"

Both sides clasped their hands in a gesture of respect.

The local earth god, standing nearby, beamed with joy and repeatedly said:

"Excellent! Excellent! With the Supreme Ruler's strategic planning and the Old Dragon King's strong support, the people of Longhu County are truly saved!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Brother Dragon King, then wait for my news."

"No, no, I, Xiaolong, await your good news, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the talks were going smoothly, Lu Chen finally felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

He didn't linger and left the Water Palace after saying goodbye to the Well Dragon King.

Beside the dry well.

Watching the two disappear underground, the Well Dragon King slowly lowered his clasped hands, gazed in the distance, and took a deep breath: "This boy is truly extraordinary..."

He pondered, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

It seems they are plotting some kind of veiled scheme.

……

A short while later, at the edge of the Great Dragon Pool, in front of the Earth God's shrine.

Lu Chen and the Earth God reappeared.

"Earth God, we really have to trouble you this time."

"Your Majesty is too kind. It is my honor to be able to help you."

As he spoke, the Earth God took out a piece of wood from his pocket and handed it to Lu Chen: "Lord, if you need anything in Longhu County in the future, you can use this to summon me, and I will come whenever you call."

Lu Chen took the wooden plaque, glanced at it, and then unceremoniously put it in his pocket: "Alright, once the matter in Longhu County is resolved, I'll definitely give you credit!"

The Earth God smiled broadly, his face full of wrinkles: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After bidding farewell to the local earth god, Lu Chen immediately drove straight to the county government office.

I never expected that going out for a stroll would lead to such a wonderful turn of events.

Now that the Well Dragon King has agreed, all that's left is to deal with the East Sea Dragon King.

Then the drought problem that has plagued Longhu County for the past three years can be easily solved.

"Sigh, it's such a difficult task, and they only gave it an S-rank. What a waste."

"Forget it, I'll just treat it as practice!"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and gripped the steering wheel tightly: "Brother, I'm counting on you from now on!"

All the way.

As the car approached, Lu Chen could see a large crowd gathered at the entrance from afar.

"What's going on? Has the news of using the spiritual water to pray for rain spread so quickly?"

On second thought, it makes sense; with the internet so developed now, the speed of information dissemination has been accelerated infinitely.

Moreover, Longhu County hadn't seen rain for three years, and then suddenly a torrential downpour hit; the news was bound to explode like a bomb.

With no other option, Lu Chen had to park his car outside and walk over.

Only after getting closer could I hear what the group of people were shouting:
"We demand rain!"

"Yes, we need that expert to pray for rain for us!"

"No matter the conditions, you must agree!"

Lu Chen was startled. It seemed that three years of drought had really driven people to desperation!

It took him a lot of effort to squeeze to the front.

The county government office was surrounded by armed guards.

"Hello, I'm a bounty hunter who accepted the mission. Please let me in."

Lu Chen presented the mission documents.

The guard captain inspected the vehicle before allowing it to pass.

"Why should he be allowed in but we shouldn't?"

"We want to go in too!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Lu Chen quickly pushed open the door and slipped into the county government office.

Office on the second floor.

Wang Zhongmin's roar could be heard clearly even through the door: "Tell me, what are you all doing? Why is this happening?!"

Hearing the roar, Lu Chen felt a chill and immediately knocked on the door.

"Come in!!"

Lu Chen pushed open the door and went in, and saw Wang Zhongmin inside, scolding Director Tian and his subordinates.

On the sofa to the side sat Chen Tiansheng, whose face was pale, and Sun Yourong, whose brows were slightly furrowed.

"You're back." Sun Yourong nodded and greeted Lu Chen when she saw him.

"It's really lively outside..." Lu Chen chuckled dryly and pointed downstairs.

Sun Yourong crossed her arms and explained, "Not long after you left, the news of that Master Lingshui praying for rain spread. But these people are really something, only thinking about praying for rain, completely ignoring whether there's anything wrong with the rain itself. Drinking too much rainwater is like drinking poison to quench thirst, isn't it?"

Sun Yourong now suspects that the so-called "showing off" by the Ling Shui Master was actually just a ploy to create this effect.

"What are you all standing there for? Get up and do something!"

Wang Zhongmin was so angry that his temples throbbed.

"Yes!"

Director Tian quickly ran out to carry it out.

Wang Zhongmin's chest heaved violently. He took a deep breath and rubbed his throbbing temples.

"Old Chen, things have come to this point, what are you planning to do? I don't think we can drag this out for more than two days!"

Chen Tiansheng took a deep breath, lowered his head and murmured, "If all else fails... we can only invite that Master Lingshui over to talk and try to keep the Qilin Blade and give him the 'Mysterious Manual of Divine Communication'."

“Uncle Chen, please think carefully. The ‘Mysterious Manual of Divine Communication’ is no ordinary book. If it falls into the hands of evil cultivators, the consequences will be unimaginable.” Sun Yourong warned, “Such people are very likely to use this supernatural power for evil purposes.”

Chen Tiansheng looked helpless: "Niece, how could your Uncle Chen not know? But you also know the situation in Longhu County. The people here have had enough of disappointment for the past three years. Now that they see someone can actually pray for rain, it is understandable that they are so indignant. Although your Uncle Chen is the clan leader, I cannot act arbitrarily."

"But……"

"Alright, I appreciate your kindness, but let's invite that person over first and see if we can get some other bargaining chips."

That being said, Wang Zhongmin and Chen Tiansheng were clearly forced into a corner and were preparing to make a deal with Lingshui Shangren.

"that……"

At this moment, Lu Chen raised his hand: "Gentlemen, may I say a few words?"

All three of them turned their gazes toward him.

Wang Zhongmin suppressed his anger and gestured for him to proceed.

Lu Chen nodded and went straight to the point: "I have a way to bring rain to Longhu County, and it's not through the methods of evil cultivators, it's real rain."

hum! ! !
The three of them simultaneously opened their eyes in shock.

Chen Tiansheng suddenly stood up, his voice trembling: "What did you say, Xiao Lu? You can summon rain? And real rain at that?"

"Xiao Lu, this is not the time for jokes!" Wang Zhongmin's face turned bright red, and his blood seemed to pump instantly through his body.

Lu Chen smiled slightly: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Chen, at a time like this, what am I joking about? To be honest, I just went out for a walk and I did find a solution."

"What method?" the two asked impatiently.

Lu Chen solemnly said, "I pay homage to the Dragon King of the Well!"

"The Well Dragon King?"

Chen Tiansheng and Wang Zhongmin looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Where in Longhu County is there a well-dragon king?"

"I do not know either."

Seeing Lu Chen's confident demeanor, Sun Yourong was shocked. She narrowed her eyes slightly and cut to the chase, asking, "Lu Chen, how confident are you?"

"Currently, only 40% is achieved, with the remaining 60% still undecided."

After saying that, Lu Chen turned to Chen Tiansheng, who looked puzzled, and asked, "Uncle Chen, do you have a statue of the God of Wealth here?"

"The God of Wealth? One of the Five Gods of Wealth?" Chen Tiansheng seemed to suddenly realize something and asked in surprise, "Could it be that you are worshipping the God of Wealth?"

"Yes! Is there?"

Chen Tiansheng opened his mouth, clearly not expecting anyone to worship such an obscure deity. After regaining his senses, he shook his head.

"No! We really don't have that! This deity is too obscure; our Chen Clan Temple has never worshipped him. I remember a long time ago, the Zhao Clan Temple in Jiangdu City ordered a batch of statues, and among them was the God of Wealth."

Lu Chen inwardly cried out in dismay: "So, I have to go back to Jiangdu City."

Without a statue of a deity, he couldn't communicate with his brother through prayers.

"No need!" Chen Tiansheng suddenly changed the subject: "If you really need it, Uncle Chen can hand-make one for you right here!"

"Hand-rubbed?" Lu Chen's eyes lit up. "You can do that? That's great! Uncle Chen, please make one as soon as possible!"
