In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 10 Villagers Prepare to Worship the Gods
“No rush, let’s wait until the rain stops on the mountain before we go to worship the goddess,” Zhang Gousheng suggested.

“That makes sense, that makes sense.” The village chief nodded as he ate some grass.

"By the way, Gou Sheng's mother, did you go to Pear Blossom Village to see your mother? Is it raining in Pear Blossom Village?" the village chief asked, turning his head.

Gou Sheng's mother was distressed: "My Er Ya has had a fever these past few days, and I haven't had time to go over."

“Uncle Village Chief, I’m going to Xinghua Village to find my sister. I brought her a jar of water because she said it hasn’t rained in Xinghua Village or the other villages.”

"They had also heard the thunder in Peach Blossom Village, but since there hadn't been any rain for three years, they weren't sure if they were hallucinating. Everyone was trying to find water to drink, so they didn't come to our Peach Blossom Village to find out if it was true."

When she said that it had rained heavily for three days and three nights in Peach Blossom Village, her sister looked incredulous.

The woman speaking was Zhang Wende's wife from the village.

Zhang Wende's wife was from Xinghua Village. She had a younger sister who married a man from the same village. Her brother-in-law was conscripted into the army, and her sister had a three-year-old child with her, which worried Zhang Wende.

After drinking some water myself, I immediately brought a can for my younger sister.

When I got there, I found out that apart from Peach Blossom Village, none of the surrounding villages had experienced rain.

"Mm-hmm." The village chief understood the situation.

"We don't know when the rain on the mountain will stop. When it does, we'll go up the mountain to worship the goddess and beg her to send down more rain."

We'll call people from other villages to come and collect water; we'll save as many as we can.

He said to the people outside the village, "Each family in the village contributes a jar of water. We'll go out and sell it to get some silver so we can buy some offerings for the goddess."

No one disagreed with this statement.

A jar of water is precious, but if it can bring them a peaceful life in the future, they are willing to give it up.

When worshipping deities, there is no reason not to offer sacrifices.

When Gou Sheng and his friends went on their search for immortals last time, they were just trying their luck. Who would have thought they would actually find them and even receive a promise from the goddess?

This time they must be fully prepared and courteous, unlike last time when they were hasty and reckless.

One by one, the villagers went home to fetch water as instructed by the village chief.

Gu Yuexi has already learned the reason for the surge in faith power through the water mirror.

When it rained, a child came up the mountain. He seemed to be one of the group who had come to visit her last time. His eyes were clear and bright. She saw him grab a handful of grass and come down the mountain. The scene shifted to Peach Blossom Village, where she saw the child share the grass he had been carrying with a group of villagers. The villagers ate the grass with tears in their eyes.

They excitedly discussed how to eat grass at her place.

They then discussed which offerings to use in their worship.

Seeing the light in their eyes, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

She was never one to meddle in other people's business, but looking at the villagers' smiling faces, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

The torrential rain mixed with spiritual water lasted for three days and three nights, and many plants revived. Gu Yuexi then put the remaining torrential rain talisman and ten drops of first-grade spiritual water into the blessing disc.

"Boom~~"

Thunder rumbled, and torrential rain lashed the cracked earth. Countless plants sprouted from the ground, and the gray tree stumps visibly revived. Tender buds emerged from the trunks and grew vigorously. Trees grew green canopies and quickly formed a forest.

The wind rustles through the leaves.

Plants deep in Qihuang Mountain are regaining their vitality!

Looking around, the area within thousands of feet of Shenque is lush and green.

Apart from Gu Yuexi, no other living being had the privilege of witnessing this vibrant scene.

"Great! Half of the plants on Qihuang Mountain have recovered."

Among these plants, she discovered several kinds of wild vegetables that could be eaten.

As the wild vegetables swayed in the wind, she seemed to see the power of faith beckoning to her.

[The host has used up the system's divine power three times. To operate the Blessing Disc again, you can only use your own divine sense.]

How much faith do I have left?

[Host's accumulated Faith Points: 53]

Well, forget about spiritual veins, you can't even buy one million low-grade spirit stones.

Looking at the wild vegetables, she took a deep breath, thankful that she still had these treasures.

"Let's wait a few more days."
