Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

"Boom!"

Dazzling lightning cut through the dark night sky, and raindrops as big as beans fell, hitting the low wooden houses on the ground heavily.

It was raining heavily outside, and drizzling inside.

The falling raindrops did not wet any of the furniture in the house, because there was no furniture at all in this low house. There were only a few thin figures huddled in the corner, hiding from the rain.

Suddenly, the door outside was pushed open, and an equally thin figure pushed the door open and came in. Judging from the figure's movements, he seemed to be holding something in his arms.

"The boss?"

One of the figures huddled in the corner said in a female voice: "Is that you?"

"It's me." The figure who pushed the door open turned around and closed it. Then, he fumbled out something. With a click, a fire lit up, illuminating the dark room.

This is a fire starter. The person holding it is a thin man, and opposite him are his wife and three children.

They all have one thing in common: they are pale and thin, with skin tightly attached to their bones and not even two ounces of flesh on their bodies.

"I brought some food back." The husband said softly, found a place where it was not raining, then took out a package and spread it out, revealing five neatly arranged large pancakes inside.

The aroma of the cake stimulated the nerves of the whole family and they kept swallowing their saliva.

Without asking where the food came from, one of them took a piece of bread and started eating it. After all, they hadn't eaten for several days.

The cake was quickly eaten. While savoring the aroma of the cake, the wife asked, "Boss, where did you get this cake from?"

"It was given to me by a man. He is a big boss in the inner city and he wants to ask us a few questions."

"Ah?" the wife exclaimed, "It was the master from the inner city. What did he ask?"

"He asked us how our lives were going and whether we were loyal to the Salt God."

The wife couldn't believe it: "How did you answer these few questions?"

"I don't know. I was completely focused on the pancakes at the time and gave a random answer. Then the man gave me five pancakes and told me that I could come to see him tomorrow." The husband touched his belly.

The wife exclaimed: "There is one tomorrow, so you must go!"

The husband nodded: "I will definitely go."

----

The next day, in the evening, many Yancheng civilians, including the husband, gathered in a small house on the edge of Yancheng.

"Don't crowd. Everyone will get one as long as they answer the questions."

The person sitting in the wooden house looked at these skinny civilians and said indifferently: "If you don't obey, none of you will be killed."

Hearing this, the civilians lined up obediently, and the man still asked the same question as yesterday: "How is your life now? Are you loyal to Lord Salt God?"

This time, more people answered.

"I haven't eaten for several days, and the Salt God won't give me any food. I don't believe in Him anymore."

This is what most people say. It is a tragedy that we are the people of the Salt God but do not believe in the Demon God.

"I am very hungry, but I am still loyal to Lord Salt God."

But there are still a small number of people who still believe in the strange adults.

As for these believers, the man hidden in the black cloak will give them two extra cakes. Of course, his actions are secretive and will not be discovered by anyone.

"Are you the great master of the inner city?"

After the last civilian answered the question, he suddenly asked this.

"I am." The man nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, the civilian showed fear on his face, but he was also more confused.

Seeing this, the cloaked man asked, "What's your problem?"

The civilian took a deep breath and said, "That is, is life in the inner city good?"

"Okay." The cloaked man said calmly, "The big cake in your hand is used to interrupt after dinner in our inner city."

Hearing this, the civilian was stunned: "Are the people in the inner city living so well? If so, why do they take so much tax from us and let us starve? Where is Lord Salt God? Didn't He see it?"

Facing the civilian's question, the cloaked man did not answer directly: "Go back and think about it yourself. The next day, I will come here again. If your answer satisfies me, I will give you ten pancakes."

"Really?" The commoner got excited when he heard this. He was not married yet and he was the only one at home. Ten pancakes were enough for him to eat for three days.

"Yes."

————

Just after the civilians left, the cloaked man took off his cloak, revealing a man with bluish black hair and green pupils. He was the leader of Shenbujue, Ye Yu, who was ordered to come here and lie in ambush.

The Human King ordered him to instigate conflicts between the outer city civilians and the inner city nobles. When the time was right, the Human King would provide weapons to the outer city to help the outer city civilians overthrow the rule of the inner city nobles.

Zhu Yuncheng wanted him to start with the Salt God, because since ten years ago, the annual ceremony to worship the Salt God was no longer open to civilians from outside the city to watch.

Therefore, the civilians in the outer city did not know the current situation of the Salt God. He just needed to win over a group of civilians in the outer city who still believed in and were loyal to the Salt God, and tell them that the Salt God had been imprisoned by the nobles in the inner city. He, an inner city noble who still had a conscience, would ask Guili for help, and ask for a large number of precious jades and weapons, so that they could attack the inner city together, liberate the Salt God, and create a Salt City where everyone is equal and has no shortage of food and clothing.

This was the entire plan Zhu Yuncheng told him.

As time went by, his plan was progressing steadily. As the cakes were continuously distributed, more and more civilians came to know that there was a mysterious noble lord from the inner city in the outer city. He was very loyal to the God of Salt. As long as you answer that you believe in the God of Salt, you will get several cakes to fill your stomach.

Moreover, this noble lord was not as aloof as other lords. Instead, he was very kind and would answer their questions about the inner city.

Through his words, the civilians in the outer city finally understood what kind of life the people in the inner city lived.

They had delicious fish and meat for every meal, didn’t have to work, and had no taxes to pay. Moreover, they had been eating flatbread for several days in a row, which was actually the bread used by the nobles to wipe their mouths after eating!

At that moment, an imbalance began to appear in their hearts. These civilians frequently asked why Lord Salt God took action. They had not seen Lord Salt God for a long time. What happened to Lord Salt God?

Ye Yu did not give direct answers to these questions. He was waiting, waiting for the dissatisfaction of the outer city civilians with the inner city nobles to reach its peak.

And this requires the help of the Human King.

-

In the palace of the human king.

Zhu Yuncheng was lying on the recliner, eating the apple that Ganyu had cut for him. While reading the news from Ye Yu, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "This Ye Yu, could he be Ye Lan's ancestor? He is so efficient in doing things."

"Senior Brother, who is Ye Lan?" Gan Yu asked curiously.

"Yes, one of the original Trisolarans." Zhu Yuncheng answered vaguely, and then said: "Junior sister, please do me a favor and tell Tianquan, Yaoguang, Tianxuan and Kaiyang to send someone to report the actions and fate of Mingjie and others to Yancheng, and use this as an excuse to suppress the price of Yancheng handicrafts."

"I understand." Ganyu nodded slightly.

Just when Ganyu went to give the order, Ye Yu, who was far away in Yancheng, encountered trouble.
