Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

Chapter 54 The God of False Good and Evil

Everyone rested in place for two days.

Despite the food shortage and the people's burning desire to leave this unjust place immediately, they still held out for two days.

They dug earthen graves, carved wooden tablets, and buried their deceased relatives and friends.

Some people are alone and don't even leave behind their names.

It was only when others saw it that they couldn't bear to leave the remains exposed to the wind and rain, so they collected them and buried them together.

The people's eyes were already red.

The father buried his children, and the mother buried her own flesh and blood.

A middle-aged man bids farewell to his elders in tears, and even a child cannot stop his grief.

All of this was so silent, yet so deafening.

Zhang Tiansheng and Li Yuan stood at the front of the tent, looking at the silent back of the Great Yue Emperor beside them, feeling somewhat emotional.

With the wisdom of the Great Moon Emperor, after calming down a bit, he naturally guessed where these evil spirits came from.

The people have been ill and weak for a long time. Why didn't they see any demons causing trouble during their recent journey?

Did they all suddenly come out overnight?

It's obvious that there are invisible forces pulling the strings behind the scenes.

The Emperor of Dayue was lost in thought at that moment.

However, he could not let the people see his exhaustion, so he set up a separate camp far in front of him, where even ministers and attendants were not allowed to approach.

After a long while, when the chief attendant cautiously informed him that they were about to continue their journey, the Great Yue Emperor finally made his move.

He turned around, still looking as vigorous and powerful as ever, majestic and awe-inspiring.

"People of the Great Lunar New Year!"

"Thousands of mountains and rivers, immortals and monsters—they are but a high hurdle! How can they possibly stop us?"

"Let's keep going!"

The Emperor of Dayue shouted, and the soldiers all shouted back in unison, their powerful voices reaching everyone's ears.

The people silently began to walk, but as they went, they couldn't help but look back.

Not far behind them was a blood-soaked mass grave.

This is their hometown, and their loved ones are buried here.

But they had to leave in order to continue living.

The procession of millions of mortals stirred once more, stretching endlessly like a boundless tide.

The great tide formed from the capital of the Great Yue Kingdom, swept northwards, and grew larger and larger.

Of the remaining population of the entire Great Yue Kingdom, more than 70% were willing to leave with the Great Yue Emperor and Li Yuan.

When the truth about the insect plague was revealed, the people's faith in those ancient, high-ranking gods turned into hatred.

Li Yuan led the 'migration tide' forward relentlessly, confronting mountain gods when encountering mountains and river gods when encountering rivers, ensuring a smooth journey.

That Heavenly Decree was truly very useful.

As long as Li Yuan's demands do not violate the laws of Heaven or violate morality, those gods will have to let Li Yuan forcibly take away the large amount of grain he prepared for harvesting incense offerings!

After the night of demonic rampage passed, everything seemed to return to calm.

It was as if a powerful force behind the scenes had dissuaded them from their plans.

However, the thing I was worried about still happened.

After the evil spirits wreaked havoc, a plague broke out among the people.

According to Li Yuan, the demons carry a large number of germs that can make people sick.

All these factors combined meant that the plague could not be prevented in the end.

Li Yuan ground the spiritual stone he had plucked from Tianyun Mountain into powder and scattered all the spiritual herb seedlings.

Emperor Dayue made a decisive move, dividing the infected and uninfected people into two groups, separated by a hundred miles, and leading the infected group forward himself.

Meanwhile, his own son led the uninfected people on the other side.

Once the plague started, it lasted for several months.

After being treated with many spiritual items, the plague was finally stopped, but in the meantime, tens of thousands of people had already died or been injured.

The Emperor of Dayue had red eyes and was filled with boundless rage.

He longed to draw his sword and fight those evil gods, to ask them why they tormented mortals so much!

But in fact, the key to stopping the plague was Zhang Tiansheng's secret finger-pointing.

This Heavenly Emperor simply made a gesture with his fingers, his mind at peace, and thus the plague never completely spread.

After the plague ended, the people stayed away for half a year.

In the six months that followed, nothing strange happened again.

The sudden silence of those evil gods shook many people.

Because the road to leaving is just too far.

When the Emperor of Dayue arrived at the border of Dayue Kingdom, right next to the territory of Qianshanling.

Of the millions of ordinary people who had gathered, nearly half had quietly left, leaving only two million.

Actually, it wasn't exactly a quiet affair.

The soldiers were all watching.

However, the Emperor of Dayue would not force his people.

He ordered his soldiers not to stop the people from leaving.

After all, this journey is also a path with an unknown future.

Staying might offer a way to survive.

Even though those evil gods are despicable, they will always leave behind some mortal seeds for the sake of incense offerings.

Emperor Dayue was angry.

The people had a glimmer of hope, but he was determined to leave and start over in another place.

He knew all too well that in the hands of these evil gods, mortals would forever be manipulated and exploited.

Fate may be unfair, but it must never be held in the hands of certain people and manipulated at will!

The two-million-strong army reached the border of the Great Yue Kingdom.

The procession of the people was huge, but the mountain road was narrow, only wide enough for carts to pass. Anyone who had the strength to walk had to climb over mountains to get across.

The Emperor of Dayue was no exception. He took the lead in climbing the mountain, followed closely by his terrified ministers, who were afraid he would fall.

The eldest son of the Great Yue Emperor was a young man with clear and bright features.

At this moment, he also took on the responsibilities of the eldest prince, acting as the vanguard of the people and leading the cart convoy forward.

The other children of the Great Yue Emperor did not complain at all; they all had resolute eyes and followed their father across the mountains and forests.

As we passed through a quiet, deserted village and were about to leave, dozens of enormous figures suddenly descended upon us.

Dozens of cloud giants, each hundreds of meters tall, gazed at the mortals on the ground with expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pity.

The people were terrified; they had never seen such a grand scene before.

This is the manifestation of dozens of mountain and river gods, who took on divine forms!

Dozens of giant clouds and mist, like Titans that created the heavens, stood as tall as the mountain peaks.

"The place you are going to is too far away. Turn back."

The giant image of the Heavenly Cloud Mountain God stood before the images of all the immortals and gods, his words revealing compassion.

"My people, do not be deceived by this strange deity, for he is the source of everything!"

A river god's image gently raised its hand and pointed at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's eyes widened, and he manifested his own cloud giant dharma form:

"Fuck your mother!"

His voice carried far and was very direct.

Another mountain god, who had never appeared before, took a step forward:

“Mortals, if it weren’t for the Anshan Mountain God’s wanton mischief, we would have already stepped in to save you.”

Li Yuan: "Save your mother!"

The mountain god's face darkened, but he was stopped by the Tianyun Mountain God.

The benevolent god of Tianyun Mountain gazes down upon the mortals at his feet:

“My people, the Great Yue has prospered for a hundred years. Why is it that a single disaster has caused you to insist on leaving your homeland?”

"Turn back! We, the immortals and gods, will help you rebuild your homes!"

The mountain god of Tianyun Mountain radiated a peaceful light, bringing tranquility to the hearts of the people, relieving their fatigue, and making them feel as if they were bathed in divine light.

The people looked at each other in confusion.

Some wavered, unwilling to gamble their future on an unknown new home.

However, many more people were filled with rage that seemed to burn to the heavens!

Most of the people remained silent, but bravely raised their heads and glared angrily at the enormous mountain god statues in front of them!

Li Yuan spoke again:

"I'll rebuild your mother!"

The Heavenly Cloud Mountain God was so angry that his nose twisted and his Dharma image trembled.

"We're both immortals, don't you have any manners?!"

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow:

"I......"

The Mountain God of Tianyun quickly interrupted, "Don't speak!"

The other mountain gods also shouted, "Boy, shut up!"
