Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"The ceremony of worshipping the God of Land begins!"

After the altar was set up and the offerings were placed, the Lingxi County Magistrate could not wait to begin the sacrificial ceremony.

He had only been in office here for a short time, and had originally thought that the mountain god who occasionally performed miracles was already an almighty god. Unexpectedly, the one enshrined in this seemingly dilapidated land temple was an invincible true god!

The wizard, with his face painted with various colors, was about to perform a dance with his scepter in hand, but a dull voice from the land temple interrupted his movements.

"I am not a witch god, so I don't need to follow the witch tribe's sacrificial rituals!"

The wizard was stunned and looked at the Lingxi County Magistrate with a look of fear on his face. "Sir, do you have any other preparations?"

The county magistrate was also panicked. He had no experience in offering sacrifices to the God of Land. When the matter came to hand, he didn't know how to offer sacrifices to the God of Land.

Just when the two were panicking, the door of the land temple suddenly opened, and the pretty girl who had been chosen by the mountain god of Xishan before walked in step by step with a blank look in her eyes, stepping on the air uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the wizard and the county magistrate looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy.

Great, that’s good!

The God of Land also likes this girl, which means that he is very satisfied with the sacrifices they prepared. They hope that the God of Land can forgive their sin of not offering sacrifices before for the sake of the sacrifices.

...

In the Land Temple, where the statue of the God of Land is enshrined, Song Xuan sat cross-legged in mid-air, quietly looking at the girl who was lying on the ground and dared not look up.

After casually glancing at him, Mr. Song, the Earth God, spoke calmly, "What's your name?"

The girl's body was trembling, and she said timidly, "Grandpa Land God, my name is Yingning."

"Yingning?"

Song Xuan looked dazed for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's a good name."

"I have recently been appointed by the Heavenly Court to serve as the land god of Lingxi. I am currently in need of a divine messenger to handle the daily affairs of the temple. Would you be willing to do so?"

"Angel?"

Yingning was delighted when she heard this, and subconsciously looked up and forward, and saw the young man sitting in mid-air, with a faint divine light surrounding him.

She clearly saw what the man looked like, but she had no memory of it at all. Only one thought remained in her mind -

God of Land, you are so beautiful!

The girl, who was originally a little confused and fearful, now had a strange color in her eyes. She seemed to come back to life from withering, and her clear voice was filled with a bit of joy.

"Lord Earth, Yingning is willing to be your divine messenger. However, Yingning is just a mortal with little knowledge. I am afraid that I will not be able to do my job well and insult your divine majesty."

Song Xuan smiled slightly. It was obvious that she was a clever girl.

"As long as you put your heart into it, you can do it well!"

Just for the girl's name, Song Xuan was willing to give her a chance, and said with a smile: "It's actually no big deal. From now on, you will be responsible for all matters related to contact with people in the temple.

You are also the one to convey this god's oracle.

So, you can understand, right?"

"Yingning understands! From now on, Yingning belongs to the Land God. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

The girl's heart leaped with joy. She didn't know the significance of these two words from the God of Land, but she understood that from now on, she would no longer be placed on the altar like a sacrifice.

My life was saved!

Song Xuan laughed, feeling it was somewhat amusing. He raised his hand and pointed, and a divine light formed in the void, turning into a jade token and falling on Yingning's waist.

The jade token is not big, only the size of a baby's palm. The words "God's Messenger" are engraved on the front, and a big word "Xuan" is engraved on the back!

"Alright, my little divine messenger, the people outside are still waiting for the sacrifice. You should come forward and take charge of the arrangements!"

Yingning blinked, stood up, and said naively, "Grandpa Earth, Yingning doesn't understand the sacrificial rituals either. Do you have any instructions?"

Song Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I have just taken office, so a ceremony is necessary. Aren't there hundreds of girls outside? Tell them to dance.

Oh, and dance something festive, forget about those underworld dances that go to the ground."

The wizard's previous dance was too eye-catching. Now Song Xuan just wanted to watch some beautiful girls perform some energetic dance to refresh his eyes.

Although Yingning didn't understand what the dance of the Earth Palace was, she could roughly understand that the Earth God didn't like the witch clan's war dance that the wizard had performed before.

She kowtowed respectfully and carefully looked at the handsome face of the God of Land before slowly turning around and walking out.

...

As soon as she walked out of the land temple, Yingning heard a slightly tense and hurried sound outside the temple.

"Come out, come out!"

"Yingning, does the Earth Lord have any instructions?"

The Lingxi County Magistrate stepped forward quickly and was about to ask something when he saw the divine messenger token hanging on Yingning's waist.

He had been a bit arrogant at first, but his expression froze, and he bent down stiffly. "Li Yong, the Magistrate of Lingxi County of the Great Shang Dynasty, pays homage to the Divine Envoy!"

Being called "God's Messenger" by the once high and mighty county magistrate, Yingning felt a little flustered, but then she was filled with pride and excitement. Although she was young, she understood that from today on, her fate had completely changed!

Yingning coughed lightly, trying her best to maintain a dignified posture, with her hands behind her back, and her crisp voice was raised a few notches.

"The Earth God has issued an order, ordering the young girls present to perform a festive dance to celebrate!"

"Something festive?"

The Lingxi County Magistrate pondered for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "I understand. I'll go prepare it right away!"

He had a vague suspicion in his mind: Could it be that this land god was of human origin? He was completely different from other gods.

You neither want sacrifices nor choose concubines. Your attitude towards our human race is a little too good.

...

After a beautiful dance, everyone stood respectfully outside the temple, waiting for the God of Land's subsequent orders.

Yingning stood at the door with her back bent, seemingly listening to something.

After a while, she stood up straight, put her hands behind her back, and said in a loud voice: "The Earth God has ordered that future sacrificial ceremonies will be based on this. Those who want to burn incense can stay and burn incense.

Those who do not wish to burn incense can go down the mountain and return home now!"

The Lingxi County Magistrate and others were bewildered.

No, that's it? Just a dance?

How about you pick a few to sleep with me? Otherwise, I'll always feel uneasy!

"Divine Messenger, does the Earth Lord have any other instructions?"

Yingning waved her hands, "Indeed, there is, but it's not for you!"

As she spoke, she took a step forward and looked down the mountain. Then she took a deep breath, recalled what the land god wanted her to shout, and then shouted loudly,

"Mountain God of Xishan, come up to me!"

Chapter 947 God, you are confused!

The once high and mighty mountain god had been kneeling and waiting at the foot of the land temple for a long time.

It’s not that he has no shame, but he really doesn’t dare to have shame now.

His face was beaten to pieces by this new land god during the previous sacrificial ceremony, and now he just wants his life!

The more he thought about it while kneeling, the more frightened he became.

You said, why would a being who is suspected to be a true immortal come here to be the land god?

What else could it be? He must have offended someone and was sent to this shabby place to be a landowner. There is no hope of promotion in this life.

A true immortal with no future, desperately trying to kill a disobedient mountain god, is this a big deal?

It is big if you say it is big, and it is small if you say it is small.

Xishan is not a famous river or mountain, and the mountain god of Xishan is not an important figure, but he is still a god officially appointed by the Heavenly Court. If he dies, the Heavenly Court will definitely intervene.

But the result after asking, Xishan Mountain God guessed, would be nothing.

Even if Xuantian, the land god, was demoted, he was still a true immortal. Killing a mountain god with no backing, and who was from the witch clan, would only require finding a reason to get away with it.

Before, when he was hot-headed, he dared to talk back to Song Xuan, but now that he has calmed down, the Mountain God is really scared!

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the land god named Xuantian was a petty-minded guy. He had just arrived, and what if he wanted to use his head to establish his authority? What should he do?

While I was daydreaming, I suddenly heard a woman's shouting and scolding from the mountain.

"Mountain God of Xishan, come up to me!"

If he had said this at any other time, and someone dared to blaspheme the power of his mountain god, he would have made them understand what it meant to have power as severe as a prison.

But now, when someone pointed at his nose and scolded him, he was not angry at all, but felt happy instead.

There's nothing to be afraid of if you curse a few times, but you should be afraid if the other party doesn't say anything and just comes up and chop off your head!

Lord Xuantian specifically used the human girl's mouth to shout at him to get out, which meant that the other party should not have any intention of killing him for the time being.

Because if they wanted to kill him, there was no need to specifically order someone to call him up.

In great joy, the mountain god of Xishan curled up into a ball, and in full view of everyone, he actually rolled up from the foot of the mountain.

Outside the land temple, the county magistrate, the wizard and others looked at each other in surprise. Is this the mountain god they used to worship?

After all, he is a righteous god, how can he be so shameless?

...

Looking at the mountain god rolling towards him, Song Xuan fell silent.

Before ascending from the lower realm, Song Xuan had pondered, feared, and yearned for the gods in the upper realm of the ancient times.

But now, he suddenly felt that no matter whether it was in the human world or in the ancient times, the supreme law that strength was respected was actually the same everywhere.

If you have strength and backing, you can act as if you are a god.

If you have no strength and no backing, even if you are a god officially appointed by the Heavenly Court, you have to be a good grandson of others.

If there is any difference between gods and mortals.

Song Xuan felt that they seemed to be more rational and better able to proceed from the perspective of interests. They could be both superior and humble.

Of course, this is just a temporary conclusion that Song Xuan drew through individual cases, and it may not be comprehensive. It is difficult to say what those high-level immortals are like for the time being.

However, as a result, Song Xuan's filter for God was completely gone.

In front of the statue, the mountain god of the stream is prostrating himself on the ground.

Song Xuan's eyes flashed like thunder as he examined him, then said calmly, "Get up!"

"Thank you God!"

The mountain god stood up, half bent his body, and glanced at Song Xuan out of the corner of his eye.

He looked very young and unfamiliar. Facing this Supreme God Xuantian directly, he felt as if his soul was about to leave his body. The oppressive feeling coming from his rank made him dare not even breathe.

"I'm new here and unfamiliar with this place. Please tell me everything you know."

"Good good!"

The Xishan Mountain God hurriedly whispered, "God, our Lingxi territory is located in the northeast of Jambu Continent, adjacent to the East China Sea. If the Dongsheng Divine Continent enters Jambu Continent from the east, this is an important pass.

To be honest, the pressure of working here is quite high.

From time to time, there would be strong men from the East Sea aquatic creatures and some scattered immortals from the Dongsheng Shenzhou entering the retreat. If they encountered some with bad tempers, some friction would inevitably arise."

Song Xuan hummed, "I know all of this. Tell me about the situation in the four continents!"

The Xishan Mountain God was stunned, and said with a strange expression: "God, you didn't just ascend from the lower realm?"

Song Xuan laughed, "Oh, you figured it out?"

The mountain god laughed dryly, "Supreme God, you are so confused! You are a great and powerful immortal, but you come here to serve as the land god. You have been completely deceived!"

Song Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you saying that I'm stupid?"

"no no!"

The mountain god shrank back, "I said the wrong thing. It is a blessing for me that the Supreme God can serve here. From now on, the grassroots gods in our Lingxi area will have a backer."

He swallowed his saliva and dared not say anything more. He said honestly: "After the war between witches and liches, the heavenly palace built by the demon race in Daluotian was destroyed, the witch race also lost its status as the protagonist of the prehistoric continent, and the human race began to flourish.

Afterwards, the Thirty-three Heavens recommended the Jade Emperor to re-establish the Heavenly Court and govern the world.
