Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

It took Li Yuan quite some time to adapt to the changes in Anshan and his own body.

Zhang Tiansheng reminded him: "Don't always call upon those celestial gods and immortals; it's easy to become disliked."

Li Yuan nodded seriously: "Definitely. If we bother them too often, they will definitely get annoyed."

Zhang Tiansheng nodded as well.

He simply didn't want the gods and immortals in heaven to turn their attention to him right now.

He had some considerations regarding Li Yuan, An Yue, and Li Xiaoan.

Two years later, Li Yuan came down the mountain again.

Li Xiaoan walked ahead of Li Yuan, a smile radiating from her still somewhat youthful face.

Zhang Tiansheng gave him a day to rest, during which he did not need to undergo any training.

Li Yuan walked slowly along the mountain path, listening to Li Xiaoan describe the events of the past two years.

As Li Yuan passed a spot at the foot of the mountain, he kept looking back and eventually couldn't help but stop.

He gazed at the flat meadow, speechless for a long time.

Li Xiaoan was walking ahead when he suddenly lost the ability to sense Li Yuan's presence. He turned around and saw Li Yuan staring blankly at a patch of grass.

"Lord Li Yuan, what's wrong?"

Li Xiaoan walked over and asked in confusion.

Li Yuan was somewhat dazed, and after a long while, he smiled calmly.

"nothing."

"But seeing your lively appearance, and passing by here, I can't help but think of some people."

Li Yuan walked into the small grassy area, and with a wave of his hand, cleared a space on the grass.

The soil shifted and slowly formed several small mounds.

"Whom did Lord Li Yuan think of?" Li Xiaoan asked curiously.

Li Yuan stood before several small mounds, his expression showing a hint of reminiscence:

"It reminded me of some children."

He habitually walked to the side, picked a few large fruits from the orchard, and placed them on the edge of the raised mound.

Li Yuan patted Li Xiaoan's head:

"The world is vast, and countless gods, immortals, demons, and monsters coexist there."

"The world is very small, as small as a village or a mountain."

Some are lucky and enjoy wealth and honor; others are unlucky and suffer a lifetime of hardship.

"No matter where you go in the future, always remember to stay true to yourself and fight against evil and promote good."

Li Xiaoan nodded seriously.

Li Yuan left with Li Xiaoan, never looking back.

As time goes by, the mounds here will become flat again.

But in Li Yuan's heart, the smiles of those children remained vivid.

The incense at Ansan Mountain God Temple remains strong, and the former residents of Ansan have become one with the later Dayue people.

We are all citizens of Anyue, and there is no longer a distinction between you and me.

Li Yuan used a method to make others subconsciously ignore him even if they saw him.

To avoid people coming to kneel and pray, which would disrupt their daily lives.

However, the faces of the people of Anshan were etched with a sense of solemnity and worry.

Li Xiaoan explained that this was because the Qian Kingdom and the Xu Kingdom were fighting fiercely outside, and the Qian Kingdom was the closest country to An Yue.

The people of An Yue were very worried that the war would spread to them.

Moreover, the fierce war that broke out in the Qian Kingdom forced Zheng Tai Biao to travel far away to trade goods with other countries.

Unfortunately, once war broke out, those countries secretly stockpiled food and supplies, refusing to engage in large-scale trade.

This has led to a recent decline in the living standards of the people of Anshan.

According to Li Xiaoan, Xu Kingdom does not accept surrender and is determined to empty Qian Kingdom, as if it is looking for something.

The Qian Kingdom, unable to bear the humiliation, fought back fiercely and is now nearly destroyed.

Li Yuan nodded, somewhat helplessly.

Let the outsiders fight; it's none of a god's business if it's a war between mortals.

However, this affects the lives of the people in his jurisdiction, which is a bit distressing.

Li Yuan strolled leisurely and arrived at Emperor An Yue's temporary palace.

A young boy with delicate skin and dark complexion sat at the entrance of the palace, propping his chin up with his hand, looking worried.

This dark-skinned little boy was dressed in simple linen clothes, with big eyes and very delicate features.

Unconsciously, it emitted specks of golden light, as if it were surrounded and protected by golden light.

Zhengtai Biao has been troubled lately.

The days of accumulating merit were forced to end because of the war outside!

The countries in this 'neighborhood' are all tense about the war situation; no matter which country they fly to, they cannot buy back large quantities of food and supplies through trade.

It propped its chin on its little hand, waiting for Emperor An Yue to finish his meeting, intending to ask if there was anything else it could do to help the people...

Li Yuan approached, his legs shaking.

"Hey, isn't this Zhengtai Biao?"

"Two years have passed, and you've become so pathetic?"

Zhengtai Biao raised his little face and scoffed disdainfully.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep! You sleep for two years straight, and when you wake up you're spouting nonsense. Just sleep until you die!"

Its face was full of disgust.

Li Yuan wasn't angry at all. He moved closer to Zhengtai Biao and said, "What's wrong? You look so worried. You don't look like a carefree little boy at all..."

Zhengtai bared his teeth and slapped Li Yuan on the head, as if he wanted to throw Li Yuan to the ground.

Li Yuan quickly raised his hands to block, thinking he was going to be 'shoved into the ground' again, but instead he blocked Zhengtai Biao's arm.

Zhengtai Biao was a little confused and blinked.

Li Yuan blinked, somewhat unaccustomed to the sight.

Zhengtai Biao roared in anger: "Hey!"

A phantom tiger roar resounded, and violent demonic power surged from Zhengtai Biao's small arms.

The force increased dozens of times, and Li Yuan was instantly blasted underground.

Zhengtai Biao looked at the pit in the ground with satisfaction.

"That's right."

Its little face lit up with a smile.

Li Xiaoan also greeted Zhengtai Biao, who smiled and said it had been a long time since they last met, and urged him to come and chat with Zhengtai Biao.

Li Yuan crawled out of the ground: "Looks like I'm still no match for you!"

Zhengtai Biao scoffed, "You think you can beat me just by transforming yourself?"

"Did I cultivate for over two thousand years for nothing?"

Li Yuan sighed and shook his head.

He couldn't beat anyone, so he could only lament that he was surrounded by monsters.

It's one thing if it's a powerful demon who has cultivated for thousands of years.

He couldn't even beat Zhang Tiansheng, a mere mortal, and was easily manipulated by him!

It is harder to become an immortal than to ascend to heaven!

While the three were chatting idly, Emperor An Yue also finished his meeting in the imperial palace.

Li Yuan abandoned his attempts to conceal himself and prepared to go in and have a chat with Emperor An Yue.

As the officials walked out, the three of them entered the palace amidst the awe-inspiring gazes.

"Greetings, Mountain God!" the official bowed repeatedly.

Li Yuan smiled faintly and nodded.

"The Mountain God is truly amazing!" A minister looked at Li Yuan with awe.

Li Yuan's forehead creased with annoyance, but he still managed to twitch the corner of his mouth and nod.

Another minister approached: "Mountain God, quack quack..."

Li Yuan couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes widened:

"That's good enough, don't go too far!"

The minister left dejectedly, and the other officials also left, suppressing their laughter.

Emperor An Yue stood in the palace, looking at Li Yuan and the other two who walked in. A smile appeared on his serious face.

"Mountain God, it's been a long time."

Emperor An Yue smiled kindly, and his demeanor remained energetic.

However, after two years of hard work, coupled with war and foreign troubles, a few glaring white hairs finally appeared at his temples.

Li Yuan smiled as well:

"Long time no see, Ji Yu."
