Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

The carriage had been traveling through the mountains for more than half a month, and still hadn't left the mountains.

Even though Li Yuan occasionally used his immortal power to help the carriage cross treacherous terrain, they still couldn't reach a populated area.

This vast expanse of deep forest seems endless.

Li Yuan drove the carriage listlessly, but in his heart he was thinking about what to plant in Anshan in the future.

The mortals in this world mainly eat millet, which is brown rice.

Only nobles and royalty could afford to eat real white rice.

There are no chili peppers; the spiciness comes from horseradish.

Li Yuan couldn't help but think:

How wonderful it would be if he traveled to a normal ancient world.

That would be like the protagonist in a novel, who vigorously develops farming and then 'surprisingly' finds potatoes and chili peppers...

Marry a beautiful, rich, and successful woman and reach the pinnacle of life!

How did he end up in a strange world filled with gods and monsters, yet also a strange mix of things?

He was a pathetic mountain god who spent a hundred years planting trees and creating forests.

I traveled around the world and spent more than half a month in these deep mountains and forests!

Look at how other people in novels become mountain gods; they have everything they want, possess great magical power, and are mysterious and unpredictable.

His subordinates admired him immensely.

Some mountain gods even retire from the day they take office!

And look at me, Li Yuan...

The game begins with a barren piece of land, lacking both manpower and water.

Also, why wasn't he given a system when he transmigrated?

While Li Yuan was still lost in thought, a purple miasma suddenly enveloped the surrounding forest.

Smelling a faint stench, Li Yuan raised his head and unleashed his immortal power.

It's just a miasma; it can be dispersed.

Strangely, when Li Yuan's immortal power spread, it seemed to be swallowed up by the purple miasma.

The miasma grew thicker, and there seemed to be a huge black shadow moving within it.

Li Yuan was startled:

"Oh no! A powerful demon has appeared!"

He quickly used his divine power to envelop the carriage and lift it into the air.

However, the swirling miasma kept the carriage firmly three feet off the ground, preventing it from rising any further.

Inside the carriage, Zhang Tiansheng had already been alerted and was now squinting as he looked out through the carriage window.

Li Xiaoan was very uneasy, as it was the first time he had seen Li Yuan's immortal power being suppressed.

Unable to lift the carriage into the air, Li Yuan could only land on the ground.

He stepped down from the carriage.

"May I ask which powerful figure is blocking our way? This humble god, Anshan Mountain God, is absolutely just passing by!"

Li Yuan realized things were getting complicated and asked loudly.

He could suddenly use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in Chinese fantasy novels) to leave, and it's estimated that even this great demon wouldn't be able to stop him in time.

But Li Xiaoan and Zhang Tiansheng, who were in the car, were likely to be in trouble.

Demons blocking the way either covet something or have other desires.

If they had the will to destroy, they would have acted long ago. Why would they have waited for Li Yuan to get out of the car and ask?

Li Yuan understood this as well, which is why he mustered up the courage to get off the bus.

A dark figure moved slowly within the purple miasma.

The ground trembled slightly, as if some enormous creature was approaching.

Li Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

If this great demon appears and attacks without warning, then he can only do his best to fight it out.

Li Xiaoan and Zhang Tiansheng need to be given a chance to escape.

He, Li Yuan, decided to bring these people along, so if they encounter danger, they will naturally be under his responsibility!

Amidst the swirling miasma, a colossal figure, eight or nine meters tall, quietly emerged.

Li Yuan looked closely and was startled!

It was a giant tiger spirit with a human body and a tiger's head!

It has a human-shaped body, but the skin of a tiger, a long, striped tail, and sharp claws!

Its fur is black with menacing markings; it's likely a leopard!

The tiger has three cubs, one of which is called Biao!

The tiger is so big, a whole pot... cough cough...

The ferocity of the leopard far surpasses that of tigers and wolves.

The nine-meter-tall leopard blocked Li Yuan and the others.

The surrounding old trees were as thick as two or three people, but compared to this behemoth, they were not even as thick as one of its arms.

The terrifying demon—Biao—stared at Li Yuan, then turned his gaze back to the carriage.

Biao licked his lips, a hint of human longing appearing on his hideous face.

"Mountain God... Hehe, this is truly a delicious taste I miss."

Biao spoke, his voice loud and indistinct, like a person shouting or a wild beast roaring.

Li Yuan trembled all over.

What's going on? Did this great demon Biao eat the mountain god?

Inside the carriage, a cold glint flashed in Zhang Tiansheng's eyes.

Why would a rebellious demon who devoured immortals and gods still exist in the world?

Is the Ministry of Justice just a bunch of freeloaders?!

Having grown to this size, if it were to emerge from the deep mountains and wreak havoc on the human world, it could destroy a mortal kingdom in a single day!

"My true form is stone, and it's very dry."

Li Yuan's eyes widened, ready to tell Zhang Tiansheng to take Li Xiaoan and run away at any moment.

The Great Demon Biao smiled contemptuously:

"I ate the mountain god of this place because that old scoundrel is heartless!"

"If you think I'm some kind of evil demon because I look fierce, you're mistaken!"

"I'm a damn good person who cultivates merit!"

This turn of events was somewhat unexpected for Li Yuan:

"what?"

This great demon has devoured the mountain god, violating the heavenly rules. Can it still be considered a benevolent demon who cultivates merit?

Da Yao Biao didn't want to talk to Li Yuan any longer:

"You and that middle-aged mortal in the car, get out of here right now!"

"I want that mortal doll!"

Li Yuan was very alert: "What are you going to do?"

"Could it be that after all this time, the Heavenly Court is still holding these rituals involving virgin boys and girls?"

The ferocious and ugly demon Biao rolled his eyes:

Do you know why I let you two leave?

Li Yuan shook his head honestly: "I don't know!"

"It's because you two are useless!" Biao said disdainfully.

Li Yuan rolled up his sleeves: "Hey, do you know you need to respect others?"

Biao sneered.

Bang!

A dense aura of demonic energy flashed through the air.

Before Li Yuan could react to what was happening, he was instantly slammed into the ground.

"Lord Li Yuan!"

Li Xiaoan, who was in the car, was terrified. When she saw Li Yuan being beaten, she screamed in alarm.

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Tiansheng's eyes.

This kind of demon has cultivated for thousands of years!

This guy really has no sins or karmic burdens on him!

Even so, devouring my subordinate immortals and gods is an unforgivable crime!

Not to mention, they beat up one of my men right in front of me!

With this thought in mind, Zhang Tiansheng was ready to reveal his aura and make his move.

When this lord got angry, thunderbolts rained down from the heavens!

Biao stared in astonishment at the massive bolt of lightning flashing across the sky, muttering to himself:

"A warning from heaven? Does that mean I really shouldn't have blocked the road?"

"But if I don't get another chance, all my thousands of years of hard work will have been for nothing!"

Li Yuan crawled out of the ground, covered in dust and dirt.

"Hey, you old monster, don't you have any sportsmanship?!"

"You didn't even say a word before making a move. You've made me lose face!"

Facing Biao, Li Yuan gestured behind his back, signaling Zhang Tiansheng to quickly take Li Xiaoan and escape.

The great demon snorted, its aura surging dozens of meters, almost making Li Yuan lose his footing.

“Leave the doll here, and I'll let you go.”

Biao's attitude was very firm.

Li Yuan tried to stall: "What do you need the mortal doll for? It's not even enough to fill your teeth!"

He was frantically gesturing behind his back.

But Zhang Tiansheng was not one to read hand gestures, and he got out of the car without hesitation.

Zhang Tiansheng pointed at the giant demon Biao in front of him:

"Hey! You monster!"

"I am..."

Just then, Da Yao Biao responded somewhat embarrassedly:

“We want that child, we won’t harm him, we just want a title.”

"Only a pure mortal can bestow such a reward upon me. No one has been to this deep mountain forest for decades."

The terrifying demon beast, with its fierce and menacing face, suddenly showed a human-like embarrassment.

"what?"

Li Yuan and Zhang Tiansheng were both dumbfounded.
