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

Chapter 104 Seeking Immortals on the Mountain, Suddenly Discovering a Divine Palace
Nine-colored rays of light and golden light intertwined, and a magnificent and sacred palace suddenly appeared from afar, shining like a precious pearl.

"The Palace of Immortals!"

"Found it! Is this the Palace of the Immortals? It's so beautiful, I... I'm a little weak in the knees."

The temple of the immortals stood high above, and the people's legs went weak, and they knelt down with a thud. They rushed to kowtow, their hearts filled with reverence and their expressions devout.

"Bang bang bang!"

Li Sheng knelt down, tears welling in his eyes.

No, this fairy goddess is completely different from the Toad Immortal. The Toad Immortal lives in a foul-smelling mud pit, his body is covered in bumps, and he speaks with ill intent. But the fairy palace in front of us is sacred and magnificent, shining brightly, and there are even sounds of insects chirping and birds singing all around.

The dead mountain has come back to life!
The flowers and plants are no longer as withered and bland as before; they have become vibrant and lush, their fragrance refreshing as they sway in the wind.

This is the kind of grandeur that gods should have.

She must be a true goddess!
"Li Sheng, a commoner, and the people of Xiahe Town have come to see the Goddess. The Goddess is merciful and compassionate, saving people from suffering. Please help the people in distress!"

Li Sheng led the people in reverently kowtowing.

Gu Yuexi's voice echoed from Shenque.

Ethereal and elegant, like the wind and snow.

"Are you people from the foot of Yunmi Mountain? As soon as I arrived at Yunmi Mountain, I discovered that the surrounding flowers, trees, and water were contaminated with a deadly poison. So I sent down a three-day and three-night torrential rain. The rain contained spiritual water that could save the poisoned lives. Xiaohe Town should also have been baptized by the rain."

It turns out that the torrential rain was indeed sent down by a goddess.

Everyone was shocked!

It turns out that the only time the rain wasn't poisonous was truly a blessing from the goddess!
Xiuhe was right!

They were deprived of their divine powers because they did not worship the goddess.

"Uuuuuu——"

Li Sheng sobbed, and the cries of the people behind him were deafening, their faces filled with bitterness.

Gu Yuexi was used to it; everyone who met her would shed tears of emotion.

Everyone knew they had offended the goddess.

Now all we can do is pray for the goddess's forgiveness.

Li Sheng, kneeling at the front, kowtowed repeatedly: "Immortal Goddess, please forgive us. We did not know that it was you who used your supernatural powers to send down the rain, so we did not come up the mountain in time to thank you for your great kindness. Please forgive our ignorance and send down your supernatural powers again!"

"We common people have no food or drink and are almost dying of thirst. Please do not blame us for our previous neglect, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, you have saved all living beings. Once the crisis in our town is over, we, the common people, will surely carve an image of you and offer incense to you every day!"

"We hope Your Majesty will forgive our past mistakes and send down clean rain once more."

The crowd clasped their hands together and kowtowed, saying in unison, "Forgive us, Divine Goddess!"

Gu Yuexi sensed something amiss and asked carefully, "What do you mean? My torrential rain should have saved the lives of people in the town. You should have plenty of water to drink now, and you should be able to hunt again in a few days, returning to the days before the drought. Why do you need me to use my powers again?"

"This..." The people looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were confused and lost.

The torrential rain that lasted for three days and three nights, bringing life to all things overnight, was a divine power bestowed by the goddess.

Later, the plant withered and the rainwater became contaminated with the poison again. Could it have been an accident?

Li Xiuhe kowtowed and replied, "Your Majesty, after you sent down rain, everything revived overnight, but after a few days it returned to its original state. All the plants withered and died, and the river water was once again contaminated with poison. After drinking the river water, some people were covered in scales and turned into blood overnight."

Upon hearing the words of the fairy goddess, Li Xiuhe was startled and suddenly realized that she had been judging a gentleman by her own petty standards.

The goddess saved her from the tiger's jaws.

The old lady then bestowed upon her a large, plump steamed bun and water from a bamboo tube.

How could such a compassionate and merciful goddess possibly mock the people just because they are being disrespectful?
impossible!
The plants withered, and the people suffered again; this could absolutely not have been done by a goddess.

It's her fault!

She was thinking the wrong thing.

The goddess is magnanimous; she's not some treacherous toad spirit. "All things come to life overnight, only to wither and die soon after?" Gu Yuexi sensed something was wrong.

"Since I have used my divine powers to save all living beings, I will not withdraw them and let them fall into the quagmire of suffering again."

"You all go down the mountain first. I will use my divine powers to restore all life in the town and find the culprit."

It wasn't the Empress who made it!

Everyone was filled with shame.

They are ignorant and foolish, repaying kindness with enmity, and harboring such wicked thoughts about the goddess.

The crowd kowtowed in gratitude, repeatedly kowtowing.

Li Xiuhe felt even more ashamed and remorseful.

"I was originally the spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. You can call me the Golden Saint Goddess." Gu Yuexi told the people her name.

"The Golden Saintess is a savior of suffering and compassion, a benefactor to the people!" The crowd shouted, their expressions filled with excitement.

"I see that you are all skin and bones, which must be due to lack of water and food."

"These foods will allow the townspeople to get through the winter comfortably, so you can distribute them." Gu Yuexi tossed a bundle in front of them.

The bundle was small, but it seemed to contain a lot of things. However, everyone was speechless. These things were probably only enough for one person to eat. How could they possibly keep the whole town warm through the winter?

Li Xiuhe rummaged through the cloth bag: "This is the Fairy Goddess's item. She wouldn't lie to us. Maybe it contains as much food as a mountain."

Gu Yuexi gave the clever little girl an approving look.

“This is certainly not an ordinary bundle; there is enough food inside for you to get through the winter.”

Her words shocked, delighted, and made everyone want to dance with joy on the spot.

Li Sheng hugged the bundle tightly. Inside the light bundle was half a year's worth of food for all the townspeople. He suddenly felt that he was guarding a treasure mountain more precious than mountains of gold and silver.

On the way down the mountain, the people were all smiles.

It's incredible that they not only found the temple of the gods, but also received food as a gift from them.

With the Empress here, they finally don't have to die!
Yes! We don't have to serve that evil toad spirit anymore!
The people's collapsed backs straightened instantly!

Gu Yuexi used her divine sense to sweep through Yunmi Mountain.

The entire Yunmi Mountain has just recovered its vitality, with only some small animals and insects reviving. Previously, this place was a place devoid of spirits, and there were no traces of any monsters on the mountain.

It is conceivable that they left Yunmi Mountain after it was contaminated by the dragon's corpse.

However, eight hundred miles away, she sensed a trace of demonic energy. In addition, there was a surge of blood energy in the air, indicating that it was another demonic creature that was harming mortals. She smelled a familiar scent in this blood energy, a scent that belonged to the people who had just come up the mountain to worship.

She opened her eyes: "Fire Boy and Water Boy, go and bring back that monster from eight hundred miles away to me. I think it must be related to the withering of the vegetation."

Fire Boy and Water Boy appeared out of thin air.

Two beams of light headed toward the place Gu Yuexi had indicated.

The people walked for a long time when suddenly a white tiger appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Tiger King!"

Everyone was horrified.

This white tiger is the Tiger King, who serves alongside the Toad Immortal.

This place is quite a distance from Hama Ridge, so how did it end up here?

The white tiger said impatiently, "Have you taken the wrong road? The king sent me to pick you up."

The Toad Immortal waited for a long time but the people didn't come to apologize, so he had no choice but to send the White Tiger to bring them to him.

"What? The Toad Immortal wants to see us?" The crowd was terrified. They had just worshipped the Goddess, who had even bestowed food upon them. If the Toad Immortal found out, they would surely be doomed.

The white tiger roared, "Didn't you want to see the Toad Immortal? The Toad Immortal saw that you hadn't arrived yet, so he specially sent me, the Great King, to fetch you."

Why did they get lost?
