Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

At night, the camp was quiet and all was silent, except for the faint crackling of the burning firewood.

Clang——!

The Emperor of Dayue awoke with a start and reached out to draw the jade-inlaid sword beside him.

The mighty emperor was panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat.

He dreamt that his people were weeping and bleeding.

His people were covered in wounds, their forms ethereal, and they wept as they walked further and further away from him.

Emperor Dayue's heart pounded. He gripped his sword, donned his dragon robe, and walked straight out of the tent.

A gut feeling was warning him that something had happened!

The Great Yue Emperor cautiously surveyed his surroundings. He stood tall and imposing in the night, his posture majestic and powerful.

Wisps of thin smoke lingered in the camp. Because the camp was so large, the smoke spread quietly, as if it were covering the entire earth.

All around, the attendants stood, nodding their heads drowsily, seemingly half-asleep and half-awake, in a strange state.

The Great Moon Emperor was a true emperor among men. He raised his thick eyebrows and roared, his voice booming like thunder!

"What kind of evil spirits dare to cause trouble!"

His deep voice resonated in all directions, stirring up echoes.

The attendants awoke from their strange state and were immediately alarmed. They quickly took up their spears and put on their armor, forming a circle around the Great Yue Emperor.

Many military officers and ministers were also awakened, and immediately drew their swords and rushed to protect the Emperor of Dayue.

Many of the weaker civil officials did not wake up immediately, remaining in a daze, half-awake and half-asleep.

"Disperse, all of you, and lead your troops to protect the people!"

The Emperor of Dayue dismissed the military generals who came to escort him, his heart filled with worry for the safety of the people.

The people in the dream are crying so bitterly, there must be a reason!

The generals were full of vigor and had experienced countless life-and-death situations on the battlefield. Knowing that it was a demon attack, they were not afraid but angry.

"Waaaah! Men! Follow me to patrol the camp, slay demons, and protect the people!"

A burly general with leopard-like eyes and a long beard let out a long roar and led his troops away in haste.

Many military officers reminded their soldiers to disperse in all directions to check on the situation of the people.

The Emperor of Dayue exclaimed, "Master of divination!"

In the surrounding tents, the minister of the divination trembled, but he did not wake up.

"Master! I am calling you!"

The Great Moon Emperor held his sword horizontally, pointing it at the wisps of smoke, his figure proud and noble.

The dragon robe fluttered without wind, as if a powerful energy was surging within it.

The drowsy Minister of Divination suddenly opened his eyes, cold sweat pouring down his forehead!

"His Majesty!"

The Minister of Divination stepped out of his tent and hurriedly approached the Emperor of Dayue.

"Something unclean is using bewitching magic!"

The minister, Bu, made a quick mental calculation, his expression somewhat flustered.

He was just a weak and ordinary man, and he would still feel fear if he really encountered such a thing.

The Emperor of Dayue pointed outside the tent: "Quickly go and find the Mountain God Li Yuan and Master Zhang!"

The Minister of Divination wiped the sweat from his brow: "The Mountain God has gone to ask the nearby evil spirits for food!"

"Then why don't we hurry and invite Master Zhang?!"

Emperor Dayue glared at him, and the Minister of Divination quickly led his soldiers away.

Sending a diviner to search for the person would be the fastest way, as this fellow is skilled in physiognomy and fortune-telling, and can find the target in the chaos most quickly.

At this moment, the Emperor of Dayue did not have many soldiers around him.

But he was not afraid at all, and instead drew his sword and walked into the people's camp.

He wanted to see which evil spirits dared to harm his people!

The Great Moon Emperor strode with the speed of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, and soon spotted a place thick with eerie smoke.

A long, narrow black shadow lunged into the tent, half of it protruding outside, its hind legs slender and sharp, like animal claws.

The shadowy figure, its upper body concealed within the tent, twitched occasionally, as if tearing at something, splattering a faint scent of blood.

Emperor Dayue's eyes are about to burst!

"cut!"

He brandished his sword and slashed at the waist of the dark figure!

The sword emitted a crisp, resonant sound, like lightning, and cleaved the dark figure in two!

The dark shadow let out a mournful cry, turned into black smoke, and vanished in an instant!

The Emperor of Dayue rushed into the tent, and what he saw enraged him!

Inside the tent, several corpses were piled up, their bodies gnawed beyond recognition and their limbs incomplete.

The Emperor of Dayue slowly emerged from his tent, his face grim and frightening.

The angry shouts of a military general came from afar, clearly indicating that he had also discovered the traces of the demons and monsters.

The Great Moon Emperor looked up at the sky:

"Are we, the people of this great nation, really so miserable?!"

This majestic and powerful emperor seemed to be questioning the heavens, his eyes filled with indignation.

Zhang Tiansheng, dressed in white, appeared out of nowhere.

"Heaven's way is impartial and does not act intentionally."

Zhang Tiansheng exuded a pure and radiant aura, like a deity walking among mortals, with an otherworldly temperament.

The Emperor of Dayue's eyes reddened as he continued to survey the surroundings, sword in hand.

Surrounded by dragon energy, he exuded power and might, slaying demons with his sword as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Then why are we, the people of Great Yue, being plotted against by the gods and demons, and attacked by monsters!"

"Are we mere mortals destined to be nothing more than meat on someone else's plate?!"

The Great Moon Emperor exuded a murderous aura, and in a daze, dragon shadows soared between heaven and earth.

This is a human emperor who is favored by fortune. When facing demons, he is as if he has divine assistance and is unstoppable.

Of course, these demons were just insignificant little monsters; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so easy to deal with.

Zhang Tiansheng walked leisurely, at a steady pace.

Wherever his gaze fell, demons vanquished and evil creatures perished.

He calculated with his fingers and realized that this was the calamity destined for the people of Dayue.

It was like a cruel baptism, yet it also seemed to solidify something for the people.

"The way of Heaven is impartial, but the way of all living beings is the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak."

"With millions of ordinary people gathered in your Great Yue Kingdom, how dare the demons invade? It's because they saw that the people were weak and took advantage of the situation to come."

"If you are powerful, not only demons and monsters, but even gods and immortals will not dare to bully you!"

The Emperor of Dayue trembled, closed his eyes, and fell silent. He waved his sword repeatedly, the sword light flashing like a curtain of light.

At this moment, Li Yuan flew back from afar.

He then used the Heavenly Decree to demand a large amount of grain from the local mountain god to supply the mortals with their future needs.

But as soon as he returned, he smelled a strong aura of evil.

Li Yuan frowned and directly conjured a cloud giant a hundred meters tall, standing under the bright moon, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

"All evil spirits, retreat at once! Otherwise, this mountain god will take action and swear to exterminate you all!"

The mountain god's image slowly opened its mouth, its voice booming like a bell, deafening and resounding.

Hundreds of sharp, mournful howls echoed from the camp, and countless dark figures fled from the vast mortal tents.

The Emperor of Dayue's eyes were bloodshot:

"Great Moon warriors, slay all these demons!"

The soldiers roared, their fighting spirit soaring, their blood energy surging into the sky, forcing the little monsters and demons to flee in an instant.

However, hundreds of thousands of sick and weak people have already been devoured by these monsters and demons, their blood staining the earth.

The Emperor of Dayue seemed somewhat tired, standing with his sword at his side, his tall figure resembling a solid city wall.

The evil spirits retreated, the bewitching fog dissipated, and many people slowly awoke from their slumber.

Immediately, the people wept bitterly.

Many people's loved ones who had barely survived the famine perished in the mouths of evil spirits.

The mother wept bitterly, cradling her child's mangled body; the middle-aged man trembled as he kowtowed before the white-haired head lying on the ground...

I was lost in a great dream, and this great dream was also extremely painful.

The people wept, but no matter how heartbroken and desperate they cried, they couldn't warm the cold body even a little bit.

As the crying subsided, they began to grieve as they gathered up the remains of their deceased relatives.

With trembling, cracked hands, they dug through the soil and buried the bloodied corpses, along with their own tears, in the yellow mud.

These people endured the devastation of famine and forced themselves to accept the cruel reality of being persecuted by the gods. Now, facing attacks from demons, they can only silently suffer...

Many people are nearing their limits, both physically and mentally.

Li Yuanhua transformed into the giant form amidst the clouds and mist, standing atop the yellow earth, sighing silently.

The hemp rope is specially cut at the thinnest point.

That's how suffering is; the harder it is to endure, the more turbulent it becomes.

But people must keep going, for themselves and for those who couldn't continue walking alongside them.

Li Yuan suddenly remembered a saying from his original world:

Life is bittersweet, like a song.
