The commotion in Wanxian Mountain soon alarmed Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu. They looked at each other tacitly and then went about their respective business.

Jiang Fengwu stayed in the family and presided over the mountain protection formation to stabilize Wanxian Mountain. It must not be shaken by the earthquake, otherwise the family's accumulation of thousands of years would be wasted.

Li Zhirui took Amu and ran outside, trying to see if they could reduce the power of the earthquake and reduce the losses and casualties in Shanhaizhou.

Some members of the tribe have also taken action one after another, hoping to contribute their own strength.

At the same time, Li Yunchang immediately summoned the mountain gods and water gods of the family and asked them if they knew the reason.

But they are just some small gods, how can they understand all this?

Moreover, their divine realm was also affected. For their own safety, they did not dare to stay outside for too long. They immediately returned to the divine realm and used their own strength to stabilize the local environment.

……

"careful!"

Li Zhirui saw a group of mortals fleeing on the earth, and the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open with a huge crack, as if a ferocious beast opened its bloody mouth and swallowed them all.

He reminded them in time, but the group of mortals had no way to dodge and could only fall into the dark underground with wailing.

Fortunately, at this moment, a bunch of green leaves as big as a meter appeared suddenly, dragged them and quickly brought them to the ground.

Because the next moment, the crack began to tremble violently again, countless soil and rocks fell, and it seemed that it was about to close again.

The sudden opening and closing made Li Zhirui frown, thinking to himself: "This may not be a natural disaster!"

In the spiritual world, it is said that earthquakes are caused by earth dragons turning over, but the so-called earth dragons are generally not real creatures, let alone "dragons", but veins that run deep underground.

But sometimes unexpected situations occur!
For example, the earth dragon was born with intelligence.

However, this situation is extremely rare, and there are only a few recorded cases in the history of the Yuanling Realm.

Could it be possible that they encountered such a rare situation?
"Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!"

Those mortals who were rescued kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.

Li Zhirui suppressed all the thoughts in his mind and said softly, "Run for your life quickly, and try to run to the plains, where there are monks sent by the Li family to provide protection."

Even though they would most likely encounter various dangers on their journey, it was impossible for him to escort them away.

He didn't care whether they heard it clearly or not and left quickly. He still had many mortals to save and couldn't waste time here.

In the following period of time, Li Zhirui traveled around and rescued a large number of secular people.

After all, people are divided into close and distant relatives, and in the face of natural disasters, with his limited power, he can only save as many secular people as possible, and that is only a part of them.

Many times, before Li Zhirui arrived, those tribesmen had died in disasters such as landslides, ground cracks, etc. caused by earthquakes.

"Ugh!"

Li Zhirui looked at the existence buried by rocks below and couldn't help but sigh.

He had just used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that there was no living creature below.

In order to deal with this sudden disaster, countless members of the Li family ran around, trying their best to save as many mortals as possible.

Fortunately, in order to build the steep cliffs on the coast, the Li family moved away the mountains and hills on the original territory. Most areas are plains, making it easier to save lives in the face of earthquakes.

But even so, this sudden and horrific earthquake still turned the area within thousands of miles of Wanxian Mountain upside down and left it in ruins.

Among all the tribesmen, Li Mingyao worked the hardest.

In order to allow more mortals to survive, he did not help them avoid sudden disasters like other members of his tribe, but instead brought everyone with him.

In this way, Li Mingyao naturally saved the most tribesmen, but the cost was also the greatest.

"careful!"

"Behind me!"

Li Mingyao was rescuing a group of mortals trapped by rocks at this time, but suddenly, countless people shouted in fear behind him.

Without any hesitation, he immediately summoned his natal magic weapon, a mountain seal that integrated thirty-six mountains. It was activated behind him, and layers of mountains instantly unfolded to protect him.

But what he didn't expect was that such a powerful and solid defense was like a wisp of air in front of the suddenly appearing enemy, passing straight through the mountains and swallowing him in one gulp!
"how come……"

Li Mingyao had a dazed look on his face. He had thought that he would die one day, but he never thought it would end like this.

Even if there was a lot of reluctance and a lot of thoughts in my heart, at this moment, they all vanished.

What Li Mingyao didn't know was that the one who swallowed him was the earth dragon that had born with a little intelligence and traveled all the way from Baihongzhou!
As the meridian of the earth, how could mountains, rivers and peaks possibly block it?
If it was any other member of the tribe, and Li Mingyao was not here, perhaps he could have blocked this attack, but it happened that he, the one with the spiritual root of heaven and earth, was here.

In fact, the original destination of this earth dragon was Changli Mountains, but when it sensed that Li Mingyao was here on the way, it came here specially, wanting to devour him and use the heavenly earth spiritual roots in his body to increase its own foundation!

As for those mortals who were rescued by Li Mingyao, they collapsed to the ground with pale faces, feeling that they would be swallowed by the earth dragon in the next moment.

But the earth dragon looked down upon these mortals with turbid auras and bodies full of filth. It went straight underground to digest and devour all the benefits that Li Mingyao had brought to it.

It was for this reason that the earthquake stopped suddenly without any warning.

It was just that the ground was covered with scars, the mountains and rivers were destroyed in a mess, and countless mortals were heartbroken, sitting on the ruins with lifeless eyes, all of which told of the great disaster that the previous earthquake had brought.

"Finally gone!"

After this incident, Li Zhirui finally confirmed that the earthquake was caused by an earth dragon.

But when he returned to Wanxian Mountain, he heard bad news.

Li Mingyao was attacked by the earth dragon and was swallowed into its stomach. His life plate was broken!
Li Zhirui was slightly stunned. Over the years, many younger generations with natural spiritual roots had been born in the family, but he no longer taught them.

But for people like Li Xianxun, Li Mingyao, Li Yunran and others in the early days, he spent a lot of time and energy teaching and nurturing them, hoping that they would grow up and support the family together!

And they indeed lived up to Li Zhirui's earnest teachings. Each of them was a rising star in the family. Now their cultivation had reached at least the fusion level, and they were very likely to break through to the fairyland.

Even if we put aside these interests, the feelings we have had over the years are extraordinary.

But now, we heard the news of Li Mingyao's death.

"Ugh!"

Li Zhirui sighed heavily and said, "Let's build a tomb for Mingyao."

He couldn't find his target even if he wanted revenge. The earth dragon was who knows how many tens of thousands of miles underground. Even if he was an immortal, he didn't have the ability to find it.

"Yes!"

Li Zhirui waved his hand somewhat disinterestedly and turned back to the cave. He sat cross-legged on the cushion, without practicing or seeking enlightenment, just sitting quietly, calming his mind.

The man is dead, the living is like this.

Li Zhirui did not dwell in sorrow for too long and returned to his normal state of mind. However, if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely kill an earth dragon to avenge Li Mingyao.

……

In the mundane world unknown to Li Zhirui and others, tens of thousands of mortals saved by Li Mingyao during his lifetime spontaneously built a temple for him.

Out of gratitude for saving their lives, those mortals often come to worship with their families and tribesmen.

Most people will place a tablet of the deity at home, and those who are a little wealthier will place a statue of the deity. Even if there is no incense, they will express their gratitude every day.

Li Mingyao, who was thought by everyone to be dead, was actually not dead.

To be more precise, he is not completely dead!
The earth dragon wanted to devour him completely, not only the spiritual roots in Li Mingyao's body, but also his soul.

How could a newly born spiritual intelligence, which is still chaotic and ignorant, possibly digest Li Mingyao's soul that has already reached the fusion state?

Of course, it is very easy to say, just a few dozen words, but in the whole process, he survived several near-death experiences and used all means to win the final victory.

It’s just that the earth dragon has existed for too long. Even if it had no intelligence and consciousness before, after it awakens, all traces of past history will appear in its memory.

Such a huge amount of memory was instantly stuffed into Li Mingyao's soul, almost bursting him.

Even though his soul still existed, he had completely lost consciousness and fell into a state of chaos.

What’s more, Li Mingyao has lost his physical body!

If nothing unexpected happens, he will eventually perish completely without even noticing.

But at this critical moment of life and death, a glimmer of hope appeared!

Li Mingyao's kindness and good intentions saved him at this time.

Those tens of thousands of mortals, plus their families, clansmen, and those affected in the surrounding areas, number almost a million.

Even though few of these mortals are pious, their wishes still become Li Mingyao's only ray of light in the darkness!
He gradually regained his consciousness, and not only remembered his own memories, but also all the traces left on the earth dragon's body by the millions and tens of millions of years of time.

Of course, the latter are too huge in quantity and Li Mingyao is currently unable to fully digest them.

"I'm alive!"

Li Mingyao was very excited. He didn't expect that after being swallowed by the earth dragon, he would be possessed by it.

Now he is no longer a human, but an earth dragon!
He could feel that he possessed the power to destroy the world within his body, which was many times stronger than when he was still in the fusion state.

It's just that it's difficult to control because his soul is not that strong. If he's not careful, there's a risk of losing control.

"The reason why the earth dragon is so shallow is that it has too many and too complicated memories, and it also has such a powerful force. Are the two suppressing it together?"

Li Mingyao put away the chaotic thoughts in his mind and began to wander within his body.

This earth dragon is currently only over a hundred miles long, which is a very small one among earth dragons. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that it can break through miracles and give birth to spiritual intelligence.

Then he saw that his body had not been completely digested, and only bones were left. He subconsciously took action to collect them. Somehow, Li Mingyao felt that they would be of great use to him in the future.

Apart from this, there was nothing else discovered.

However, he could feel that there was an extra force in his body.

Li Mingyao didn't know what it was, but he knew that it was this power that pulled him back from the brink of death, so he thought it was harmless and ignored it.

……

Time flies, and a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.

The temple built by those mortals for Li Mingyao was known to the Li family a few years later. The Li family was happy to see it happen and set aside some time to deal with it.

Therefore, these temples did not decline with the passage of time, but have always been very popular.

Gradually, it evolved into a custom among ordinary people in Shanhaizhou.

During this hundred years, no new immortals were born in the Li family, but their strength has greatly improved, and they have firmly sat on the position of overlord of Shanhaizhou.

During this period, the sea tribe also invaded once, but it was just an ordinary beast tide, without even a single water monster from the fairyland. It posed no threat to the Li family and was easily resolved.

At that time, many people thought that it was caused by the great battle in Wanjiazhou, which caused heavy casualties among the sea people.

But the Li family felt that the sea clan knew that there might not be much progress in the short term, so they simply sent a batch of cannon fodder to free up more space.

at the same time.

Wanxian Mountain.

The new clan leader Li Xinde was handling various family affairs when suddenly, the ground shook slightly.

At first, he didn't care, but as the shaking became stronger and stronger, as if another earthquake was about to occur, he had to summon all the elders and notify all the tribesmen to pay attention to safety and be ready to go down the mountain to rescue the mortals.

But before the Li family could start to move, the shaking stopped.

Suddenly, a solemn voice resounded through heaven and earth.

"Today, I, Li Mingyao, am worshipped by the people, recognized by heaven and earth, and given the title of God of the Mountain and Sea State!"

Boom!

There was a sudden roar of thunder out of nowhere, it was the response of heaven to this declaration.

Then, a vast, heavy and solemn atmosphere emerged, allowing everyone to feel the immovable mountains, the kindness of the earth, the nourishment of clouds and rain, and the vitality of the mountains and forests.

This is a god of the earth!
The god of the earth.

They were not comparable to the mountain gods and water gods previously enthroned by the Li family. They were all subject to the jurisdiction of this new earth god, and even automatically became his subordinates!

Not to mention that this person is a great god recognized by heaven and earth and appointed by heaven.

only……

Li Mingyao, isn't this the ancestor who was ambushed and devoured by an earth dragon a hundred years ago?
Li Xinde instantly thought of a possibility, that is, the earth dragon not only devoured the ancestor, but also wanted to inherit his identity!

"This Earth Dragon is so bold! How dare he bully my Li family like this! Does he think that after he becomes the Earth God, my Li family won't dare to attack him?!"

It's no wonder he would think this way. After all, Li Mingyao's life card was broken, so how could Li Xinde still think he was still alive? (End of this chapter)
