Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

After arriving in Anshan, life didn't immediately get better.

Although Anshan has now returned to its normal mountainous appearance, it is still relatively barren compared to other regions due to its location in the desert and dry soil.

The combined military and civilian population of the Great Yue Kingdom is nearly two million, which puts considerable pressure on Anshan's current food and material reserves.

Without enough timber and stone to build houses, people will have nowhere to live.

Without sufficient food supplies, with so many people staying here, it's likely to lead to another major food shortage.

Li Xiaoan was kind-hearted and always begged Biao to help him travel between Anshan and the outside world to quickly replenish food and various materials.

Biao is an extremely powerful demon, capable of soaring through the clouds and traveling thousands of miles in about a day.

Furthermore, Biao possessed great magical power and could easily use the art of storing objects, allowing him to bring back enough food for the people for several days in a single trip.

The current Biao is a great demon recognized by heaven and earth, a rare existence in the world.

He's eager to earn some incense offerings and merits.

After all, this is something that can help a large number of ordinary people.

Furthermore, with the oxcart blessed by Li Yuan's immortal energy, the mortals could return in less than half a month after setting off.

The teams buying supplies kept coming and going, which barely managed to keep up with the rate of consumption.

After a period of rest and recuperation, the people recovered somewhat and were no longer as weak and emaciated as before.

After much discussion with his ministers, the Emperor of Dayue decided to prioritize grain cultivation.

The construction of houses should be considered as a secondary matter.

After all, food is the most important thing for people.

With no grain to plant and no grain to harvest, the people are always uneasy, and they can only waste a lot of manpower and resources to purchase grain, which puts them in a rather passive position.

Once the decision is made to cultivate land for grain, improving the soil quality becomes an inevitable task.

Regarding this matter, the Emperor of Dayue could only ask Li Yuan for help.

Li Yuan pondered this matter for a long time and decided to take on the hard work himself.

He took the thousands of kilograms of spiritual soil he had obtained from the Tianyun Mountain God and the Liangshan Mountain God, broke it down into smaller pieces, and had the people evenly pile it up in the designated grain-growing areas.

Although the sacred soil was precious, it was reserved to cover Anshan. But now the people needed it, so Li Yuan made a choice.

Anyway, there will be other opportunities to obtain spiritual soil in the future. These material possessions cannot be compared with the lives of the people.

Following Li Yuan's instructions, the people scattered the sacred soil in a 'well' shape across the grain-growing areas.

Li Yuan told the people to step back, and then began to use his divine power to manipulate the water in the Han River.

He reached out and pointed, and the clear river water soared into the air from the several-meter-wide Han River.

The people were dumbfounded, never having seen a god play with water... no, a god control water.

Li Yuan could only be thankful: the Han River was an artificial river dug out by the people of Anshan, and there was no river god yet.

Otherwise, if you want to move the river, you'll have to deal with the river god.

It's much more convenient now.

Li Yuan continuously condensed the river water high above his head, and it quickly formed a huge circular water sphere.

The water sphere grew larger and larger, reaching a diameter of tens of meters.

In fact, the planned grain planting area was not far from the Han River. After Li Yuan controlled the water ball, he flew towards the grain planting area and arrived quickly.

He told the mortals to step back a little further.

He then directed the water within the water sphere, transforming it into fine streams that flowed towards the earth.

As they approached the ground, Li Yuan once again unleashed his immortal power, shattering the water flow.

Soon, a fine mist of water fell from the ground.

Li Yuan held up the water sphere, continuously drawing the water flow, and then used his immortal power to shatter the water flow, thus evenly irrigating the earth.

Water mist continuously sprinkled onto the 'well'-shaped spiritual soil, slowly soaking and dispersing it, spreading it throughout the entire grain-growing area.

Li Yuan then drew upon the spiritual energy of Anshan to cleanse the area, causing the spiritual soil and yellow sand to merge and improve the originally barren land.

The crowd gasped in amazement.

In the past, they would see gods and deities by viewing their statues in temples.

During the migration, Li Yuan was mostly busy plundering food from the evil gods.

Today, we got a close-up look at the gods playing in the water!

I've been looking at it all day!

Li Yuan couldn't help but advise the people to go back first.

His irrigation and fusion work may need to last for several days.

Fortunately, this is in Anshan territory; otherwise, if Li Yuan were to expend his immortal power playing with water—no, controlling water—it would drain his immortal power in a day.

The spiritual energy of Anshan continuously flowed into Li Yuan's body, transforming into pure immortal power for Li Yuan to command.

Li Yuan held the water sphere high, floating eight or nine meters above the ground. He wore a long blue robe and had an otherworldly air about him... His face was pale and his body thin.

Yes, his face still looked a bit pale.

The people enjoyed watching it, from day to night, and gathered around to watch again the next day.

Some people even ate their rice bowls while watching.

This is like gods playing in the water! I don't know if I'll ever see this again in my lifetime!

Tens of thousands of people formed a huge crowd, filling the entire open space, just to watch Li Yuan play in the water.

Other ordinary people simply couldn't squeeze in; otherwise, there would have been hundreds of thousands of onlookers.

Even the Emperor of Dayue stood outside the crowd with great interest, leading his ministers to watch Li Yuan playing in the water.

The most outrageous thing was that Zhang Tiansheng, relying on his supernatural abilities, simply moved a small chair and sat a meter or two in front of Li Yuan to watch him play in the water.

When the water mist is sprinkled, it avoids Zhang Tiansheng and then magically falls back to where it was originally going to land.

Curiosity gleamed in the eyes of this Heavenly Emperor, as if he were trying to understand the principles behind Li Yuan's actions.

In fact, this is the basic fertilization technique of Li Yuan's original world.

The sacred soil is likened to fertilizer. This special 'fertilizer' is piled up at key locations, and through water mist irrigation, it is evenly absorbed into the loess, becoming one with it, and then naturally diffuses...

In this way, large areas of soil can be improved evenly without leaving any dead spots.

The operation is quite difficult. This world does not yet have the technology for irrigation, so Li Yuan can only act as the 'irrigator' himself.

"Mountain God, are you hungry? I have some flatbread here..."

Seeing that Li Yuan looked unwell, a child of about half a year old asked him with concern.

The child's innocent words were interrupted by his own parents.

The parents lovingly patted their child's head:

"The Mountain God isn't a human!"

"He doesn't eat!"

In mid-air, Li Yuan's face darkened slightly.

He knew the child's parents hadn't said anything wrong, but he still felt insulted.

My own soul is that of a new generation of youth in the 21st century!

At this point, the child's parents earnestly told their child:

"The Mountain God doesn't eat rice, he eats this!"

As he spoke, the child's father took out a stick of incense.

The other people were listening too, and they all nodded and said "Oh" with understanding looks, and began to take out incense.

Tens of thousands of people took out their clothes to get incense, and some even pulled out incense burners from behind their backs. The scene was absolutely amazing.

Li Yuan was both amused and exasperated.

"Why are you all carrying incense?"

The people lit long incense sticks and shouted in unison:

"I'm afraid that you, the Mountain God, will get tired and hungry after playing in the water!"

Li Yuan immediately put his hands on his hips, looking incredibly energetic:

"What are you saying? Don't underestimate your mountain god!"

"With this level of consumption, I could play in the water... no, I mean, I could abstain from water for another year!"

The people laughed, but held up the long incense sticks they were holding, wishing they could hold them even higher.

It was as if by doing this, the sincere incense offerings would quickly reach Li Yuan.

The Great Yue Emperor stood outside the crowd, a slight smile appearing on his usually dignified face.

The mountain god laments the suffering of mortals, while mortals lament the weariness of the mountain god.

very nice.

Emperor Dayue let out a long breath, as if he had finally let go of something in his heart.

From this point forward, a new life will begin.
