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

Chapter 98 The Golden Saintess bestows her blessing upon Xiahe Town
"The monster is dead! The monster is finally dead!"

"We're no longer afraid of being eaten by monsters!"

"Waaah, my daughter was turned into a fruit and eaten by a monster. How am I going to explain this to her father who is fighting on the front lines?"

"Oh my god! My mother was eaten too! That wretched monster, it deserves to die!"

Some cheered with joy, while others wept in sorrow.

Upon seeing the pig demon dead, Wang Dagen laughed excitedly: "Hahaha, the monster is dead, I don't have to live in fear anymore."

Chen Xiaohong sighed, feeling saddened by her husband's ignorance. He had aided and abetted the evildoer and conspired with the pig demon to kill so many people. The people of Xin'an Town would not let him go. Could he really rest easy as he thought?

How ridiculous!

Gu Yuexi returned to the Divine Palace, stood in front of the Blessing Disc, raised her hands upwards, and a powerful divine sense locked onto Peach Blossom Village.

Suddenly, a wide, flat area appeared beside her statue, followed by a loud rumble that shocked everyone.

"What happened! Was it an earthquake?" they asked each other, still shaken.

"Look!" someone shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and was immediately stunned!
Beside the statue of the Golden Saint Goddess, there was a vast, flat area covered with red silk.

Tables and chairs were set up, and the tables were laden with all kinds of delicacies. The steaming food was fragrant and mouthwatering.

"What's going on? Is it a hallucination? Why do I see tables and chairs set up in front of me, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and steaming hot food on the tables?"

"You read that right, it's true!"

Everyone was shocked!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gousheng, who was catching up with his mother and elder brother, exclaimed with delight, "This is a delicious delicacy bestowed upon us by the Golden Saintess!"

Zhang Youhe and others who knew the inside story were all smiles, while the people who didn't know the inside story were completely confused and kept asking why.

Zhang Youhe spread his arms wide and swayed slightly: "Everyone, don't rush, listen to me first. Our Peach Blossom Village is responsible for the food for the people when we worship the gods. Originally, every household slaughtered pigs and sheep, but in the end, it was not enough for us to eat. So we shamelessly sent our children to Qihuang Mountain to ask the goddess for a solution."

"The goddess said she would give us food, but unfortunately we didn't get to eat it because everyone drank the sacrificial wine and turned into grapes."

"Didn't the Empress just manifest her power? I think this is something she bestowed upon us when she returned."

He Jinzong nodded: "So that's how it is, no wonder! No wonder!"

"So this is a blessing from Her Majesty!"

"Of course," Zhang Youhe said with a smile.

"Everyone, go up and eat."

As soon as Zhang Youhe spoke, He Jinzong and the others arranged for all the people to sit down and enjoy the blessings of the Golden Saintess. Everyone rushed over impatiently.

Chicken, duck, fish, meat—anything that swims in the sea, flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and even things they'd never seen before—there was something for everyone, leaving them overwhelmed with choices.

"That's wonderful!"

"This is wonderful! The Empress has bestowed so much food upon us. She is truly compassionate and compassionate, saving all living beings!"

As everyone ate rice, noodles, and meat, and drank fine wine, they talked about their experiences, laughing and crying. When they talked about Lady Jin Sheng, they were moved once again.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they discovered that there was still plenty of food left on their plates: "These plates are truly divine artifacts; they can replenish food indefinitely."

Everyone saw that the plate containing the whole chicken, even after all the meat and bones had been eaten, was kept being refilled.

This is absolutely astounding! "Your Majesty is incredibly powerful and possesses boundless magical abilities!"

[Host has accumulated 150000 Faith Points]

This was the first time she had received such a strong sense of faith since the drought was resolved.

Gu Yuexi used 30,000 faith points to exchange for a set of magic robes.

The pure white robe was adorned with golden magical runes and several animal patterns, making it both magnificent and sacred. Wearing it made him look even more like a deity than before.

The robes are impervious to water and fire, and remain spotless.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade Dao artifact.

With the remaining faith power, Gu Yuexi exchanged several sixth-order spiritual veins. Now that she has reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, she needs more spiritual energy. The sixth-order spiritual veins contain high-grade spirit stones, which can allow her to absorb enough spiritual energy in a short time to reach the late-Foundation Establishment stage.

As her faith gradually waned, Gu Yuexi picked up the Sun and Moon Golden Disc and began searching for her next target.

The mountains are lush and green, and wild animals roam freely.

This is deep in the mountains, where poisonous miasma makes it impossible to see any life around.

It is comparable to the depths of the Jinsheng Mountain Range.

The difference is that she not only did not detect any traces of humans here, but there was not even any demonic aura. Logically speaking, it is normal that there is no sign of living beings here, but why is there no demonic aura at all?

Those vicious and wicked monsters stay away from people and prefer to take root in the deep forests filled with poisonous miasma.

"Zero One, where is this place?"

System online: [Host, this place is called Yunmi Mountain. Surrounded by towering mountains, there is a small river town with a population of about 30,000 to 40,000.]

Before the drought, the people here lived in isolation, never contacting outsiders.

They had no experience in farming or animal husbandry, and mainly relied on gathering plants from the mountains and hunting for a living.

It's called a town, but isn't it just a secluded village? Only it has a large population.

"You mean, you want me to teach them how to raise livestock and farm?"

[If that were all, the people here wouldn't have such a strong will. After the drought, vegetation flourished elsewhere, and people no longer lacked water and food, but the people of Xiahe Town still suffered from thirst and hunger. In other words, the people of Xiahe Town were still suffering from drought.]

Through the water mirror, Gu Yuexi looked at the lush greenery outside: "The plants in the mountains are thriving, and I can hear a river flowing not far away. It doesn't look like a drought at all."

[Beneath the strata of Yunmi Mountain, in an underground river, a dragon died. Its flesh and bones rotted, polluting the life force of the entire Yunmi Mountain. The people who ate the plants on the mountain, drank the water from the river, or even got rained on would grow scales all over their bodies. The scales emitted a foul stench, and after death, their bodies would turn into a pool of black water.]

Seeing this, the townspeople dared not eat the plants on the mountain, nor drink the water from the river. They only wished to have a complete corpse after death. The host needs to dispose of the dragon's corpse in the underground river, eliminate the people's troubles, and save them.

Gu Yuexi nodded knowingly: "The spiritual energy of the dead dragon has dissipated, and its resentment and decaying corpse will pollute the air, water, and even the natural world. To solve this problem, we must first examine the dragon's corpse."

"Help!"

Suddenly, a cry for help came from not far away.

Gu Yuexi changed her perspective and saw a ragged girl in coarse linen clothes running barefoot in the forest, with a ferocious white tiger chasing after her.

"Roar--"

The wolf-tiger suddenly stopped, warily scanning its surroundings. Suddenly, it leaped back and ran in the opposite direction from the girl. The girl, relieved to have escaped death, fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ouch!" In his haste, he twisted his ankle.

"Woo woo woo—" The girl looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. What puzzled Gu Yuexi was how she could be running alone in the forest and being chased by a tiger.
If it weren't for her secret intervention, the child would have been eaten by the tiger long ago.
