However, this movement attracted the attention of the Tianyun Mountain God.

The migration of millions of ordinary people was an incredibly massive undertaking.

"Li Yuan!"

"What a vicious scheme you have!"

The Heavenly Cloud Mountain God descended to earth, transforming into a magnificent giant of clouds and mist, confronting Li Yuan.

He never expected that Li Yuan would not only swindle away resources, but also take away the mortals of the Great Yue Kingdom!

Li Yuan had just put away his giant form, which had consumed his immortal power, but now he sighed and transformed into a giant again.

Two towering cloud giants, each a hundred meters tall, stared at each other across a vast expanse of yellow earth fields, startling even the Great Yue Emperor.

The people, as was their habit, knelt down.

The cloud giant, transformed from the god of Tianyun Mountain, retained the appearance of a robust middle-aged man, and now coldly surveyed the mortals on the earth:

"You guys have some nerve!"

The mortals were terrified and immediately began to kowtow repeatedly.

Li Yuan waved his hand, and his immortal power surged, helping the people to their feet.

"I told you, you treat them like ants, but I treat them like human beings!"

The people couldn't help but look in front of them at the towering, youthful-looking giant of clouds and mist.

At this moment, behind each of the two giants, it seemed as if a majestic mountain phantom appeared, magnificent and vast.

The Heavenly Cloud Mountain God roared in fury: "You are openly vying for incense offerings, violating the heavenly rules!"

Li Yuan, in his guise as a cloud giant, stepped forward, his voice cold:

"Incense, incense!"

All you know is incense offerings!

"They are human beings, living, breathing human beings!"

"When they are at peace and happy, you create disasters for them; when they suffer, you stand by and watch!"

"The plight of the people is appalling! Is all you can see in the words 'incense offering'?!"

Tianyun Mountain God knew he had been too outspoken, which allowed this kid to find a loophole to expose.

He suppressed his anger slightly and looked at the mortals:

"This mountain god has protected the capital of the Great Yue Kingdom for tens of thousands of years!"

"In these ten thousand years, there has never been a demon invasion. Shouldn't you be grateful to this mountain god?"

"The whole thing about creating suffering is just this kid talking nonsense!"

The people were filled with fear.

The hundred-meter-tall cloud giant attacked them, and the oppressive feeling made it hard for them to breathe.

Zhang Tiansheng stood at the back of the crowd, his eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze icy cold.

Putting pressure on ordinary people, what an 'imposing' mountain god!

If he didn't want to continue to conceal his identity and investigate the filth of the mortal world, he would have taken action to annihilate this evil god!

At the front of the crowd, the Great Yue Emperor gritted his teeth, enduring the terrifying pressure, and stood up from his carriage.

His eyes widened in anger as he drew the jade sword from his waist toward the cloud giant, the incarnation of the Heavenly Cloud Mountain God!

Clang——!

The sword is drawn, pointing high into the sky!

"You evil god, stop pretending!"

For the first time, this mighty mortal emperor drew his sword against the gods and immortals whom his country had worshipped for many years.

"We, the people of the Great Motherland, are living, breathing human beings!"

"They are not incense ash in your temple; they should not lose their lives because of your evil thoughts!"

The Great Moon Emperor was imposing, with a faint dragon aura surrounding him. For a moment, his aura was comparable to that of the Heavenly Cloud Mountain God.

The God of Tianyun Mountain looked down at the strong figure in the dragon robe and felt a sense of apprehension.

True emperors on earth are those who are blessed with good fortune.

Protected by dragon energy, bearing the great fortune of a nation, that imperial sword is capable of slaying immortals and gods!

Therefore, they joined forces and secretly controlled the Great Moon Emperor using the art of soul-capturing.

But Li Yuan used tricks to awaken this mortal emperor, how despicable!

That was clearly a technique used by more than a dozen mountain gods working together. Where did Li Yuan get such great ability?!

Faced with the disrespect of the Great Yue Emperor, the Tianyun Mountain God showed displeasure: "I have protected this place for ten thousand years. You should sincerely kneel and worship me, instead of drawing your sword to defy me!"

"Are all the people of your Great Yue Kingdom ungrateful?"

The Emperor of Dayue sneered contemptuously, his sword held even higher!

Truly, a shameless and evil god!

Li Yuan took a step to the side, protecting the people who were oppressed by the aura of the Tianyun Mountain God behind him.

"They make offerings every day, the incense burns continuously, they are extremely respectful, and they even grant their every request. Isn't that enough gratitude?!"

"Don't try to portray your responsibilities as acts of kindness towards others!"

"If you have the guts, then go ahead and let the demons run rampant. Let's see how long you can live!"

The God of Tianyun Mountain was about to speak when Li Yuan interrupted him.

"Moreover, can you swear to Heaven that the famine and disaster have nothing to do with you?"

"If you dare to swear, I, Li Yuan, will kneel down and kowtow to you on the spot, and offer up the incense of Anshan!"

Li Yuan's words were blunt and impolite, which enraged the Tianyun Mountain God.

The Heavenly Cloud Mountain God suppressed his anger and transmitted his voice using his divine power:

"You said you wouldn't stop us from our grand plan to harvest incense offerings!"

Li Yuan sneered and said it directly in front of the people:

"I did say I wouldn't stop you from reaping the benefits of offerings!"

"I'm just taking away suffering mortals. What does that have to do with you reaping offerings?"

"Do you harbor any ill intentions towards mortals?"

"Tell me, is it related?"

The cloud giant, an incarnation of the Tianyun Mountain God, was so wide-eyed it seemed to bulge out.

This kid is forcing him to lose face in front of the people!

How could the God of Tianyun Mountain dare to speak directly, for that would completely lose the hearts of the people!

"Speak up, why aren't you saying anything?"

Li Yuan even felt like he was the villain, being aggressive and domineering.

But, facing such an evil god, he only felt a sense of exhilaration.

The God of Tianyun Mountain remained silent.

Li Yuan's momentum grew increasingly high:

"You've agreed!"

"Folks! Look, old Deng has tacitly agreed!"

The Heavenly Cloud Mountain God was instantly shattered, enraged:

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"When did this mountain god ever admit that his harvesting of incense offerings was related to mortals? Don't spout nonsense!"

Li Yuan simply smiled slightly.

I can't beat you in a battle of wits.

But you want to argue with me?

Before I transmigrated, I was a 21st-century otaku, nicknamed Keyboard Warrior!

"What, you're getting impatient already?"

"I haven't even used my full strength yet!"

Li Yuan looked at him with disdain.

The God of Tianyun Mountain felt like he was grinding his teeth to powder, but he couldn't do anything in front of the people.

So he had no choice but to suppress his emotions and adopt a compassionate demeanor:

"If you want to take them away, and they willingly go with you, I won't stop you!"

"However, Anshan is thousands of miles away from here, and I am worried that the people will suffer heavy casualties!"

"The Great Yue Kingdom is suffering from famine. The people are starving and weak. How can they follow you?"

The God of Tianyun Mountain radiates a peaceful, ethereal light, like a noble deity who loves all people.

He sneered inwardly.

Do you want to take the mortals of the Great Yue Kingdom away?

By the time we get to Anshan, most of us will have starved to death!

Once people start starving to death, these ignorant people will surely waver and come back!

The cloud giant resembling Li Yuan waved his hand: "No need for you to worry. Along this journey, many mountain gods will certainly lend a helping hand!"

Upon hearing this, the God of Tianyun Mountain almost burst out laughing.

All the mountain gods of the Great Yue Kingdom, as well as other river gods, wild gods, and some little-known deities, whether willingly or forced, are all involved in the grand plan of harvesting incense offerings!

Now that you've already waded into these muddy waters, who will help you?

The Heavenly Cloud Mountain God departed with a benevolent expression.

It's not advisable to make a move in front of ordinary people.

He lost the verbal battle and couldn't stop Li Yuan.

But he waited, waiting for the mortals to return, wounded and crying out in despair.

The incense offerings back then must have tasted even better.

Seeing that the Tianyun Mountain God had left, Li Yuan quickly dispelled the giant's Dharma form.

This form of Dharma is extremely taxing; if the standoff continues for a while longer, he will be forced to reveal his true form.

Li Yuan floated in mid-air, turned back to look at the bewildered crowd, and smiled brightly:

"let's go?"

Seeing Li Yuan's clear and peaceful smile, the people's hearts skipped a beat.

They felt that this mountain god... seemed different in some way.

Unlike those immortals and gods.
