From the Valkyrie to the Endless

Now, these people in Snake Village are the backbone of her believers. Although their cultivation is not high, if Shen Qing wants to preach and expand the number of believers, she still has to rely on them.

Precisely because they originally had nothing, the people of Snake Village cherish the hard-earned opportunity even more.

Move into Haoyin City?

After carefully pondering Shen Qing's words twice, Yan Baohai's heartbeat involuntarily quickened, his mouth and tongue became dry, and he did not dare to ask more questions, so he just bowed and agreed.

Looking at the temple in front of him that had been renovated several times, Shen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, paused for a moment, then turned and left.

After leaving the Snake Village, Shen Qing climbed up a nearby high peak alone and sat on the ground.

It was dusk, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the sun shone through the clouds onto the mountain tops, dyeing the area an orange-red ocean.

Watching the scenery from the top of the mountain was a habit she developed when she was in Daxia. Compared to standing in the clouds, the feeling of standing on the top of the mountain was completely different. The clouds were too far away, while the top of the mountain could touch the human world.

Every time she went up the mountain to enjoy the view, Zhao Yu would be by her side. Over time, she got used to it.

Subconsciously turning her head and looking at the empty side of her, Shen Qing suddenly felt an indescribable chill in her heart. Looking at the mountains and sea of ​​clouds in the distance, she subconsciously closed her long legs, hugged her knees and looked into the distance, with a hint of desolation in her eyes.

The breeze blowing towards her blew her long hair, making it flow like a waterfall, soft and moving.

For some reason, her mood was inexplicably unsettled. In this era, she was like a rootless duckweed, wandering and helpless. Everything she saw was unfamiliar.

Originally, when she first came to this world, she thought that more than a hundred years would pass quickly. Now, looking back, she suddenly felt that these hundred years were too long, so long that it was suffocating.

Less than half a year after arriving in this era, Shen Qing already felt homesick, the home that had just gained some popularity.

After all, being alone is a bit too lonely.

Loneliness and solitude have always been with her, no matter in the past or present life. However, when there are suddenly more people around her and she has to adapt to the feeling of being alone, the loneliness that she used to not care about suddenly becomes a little unbearable.

There are still more than a hundred years left for her to endure alone.

This period of time is so long, long enough to make me forget many things.

Shen Qing suddenly felt a little unsure whether she would still remember Zhao Yu after more than a hundred years.

Time is too cruel. Everything she sees now will become a bubble in tens of thousands of years.

Perhaps, she should change some of her ideas and try to avoid having too much involvement with people of this era.

Leaving any concerns behind in this era will only add an extra burden to yourself, or even create irreparable regrets.

As a lesson from the past, one Zhao Yu is enough.

Yan Baohai was very efficient in his work. Under his and several other leaders' command, more than 10,000 people were quickly organized and started the migration in a mighty manner.

This place is only more than 30 miles away from Haoyin City, which is nothing for cultivators, but the mountain road is rugged, and with countless carriages and supplies, it still takes two hours to walk this distance.

For Snake Village, this is a relocation of roots, but the villagers do not have much sadness. Moving into Haoyin City has been the long-cherished wish of many generations.

At the beginning, Yan Baohai saved up for several years, just enough to send a child to school in Haoyin City.

Now, you don’t need to pay anything and you can move directly into Haoyin City. This is a favor no less than the blessing of gods.

Soon, everyone in Snake Village arrived at the foot of Haoyin City. With the assistance of the city defense forces, they entered the city without any interruption.

From then on, some trivial matters of settlement would naturally be handled by the people below. Shen Qing was too lazy to ask about it. Her attention was already on the other gods now under the jurisdiction of Haoyin City.

After moving the Snake Village to Haoyin City, the most important thing facing Shen Qing was to deal with the gods now under the jurisdiction of Haoyin City and concentrate all the power in his hands.

As time goes by, more and more people will die. Naturally, she wants to save more people within her ability.

She had no intention of sacrificing her own life to save the world, but it was a good thing to prevent more deaths in this world within her ability.

After Shen Qing settled the people in Snake Village and began to take charge of Haoyin City, Hong Shushan prepared to follow Hong Chongan to seek refuge in Zidian Tianzong.

A powerful sect with Guiyi Zhenjun in charge can remain safe and undisturbed even in such a chaos.

But only a few people can enter the Zidian Tianzong. Moreover, facing the Central Dynasty headed by the Nine Nether Saint King, even Guiyi Zhenjun dare not disobey.

The reason why these gods in the Southern Region are now so active, even waging war and conquering and devouring each other, is to fight for the position of divine general beside the Holy King Jiuyou.

Back then, the Rain God almost monopolized 80% of the faith in the Southern Region. Among the three strongest gods now, except for the Demon Slayer, the other two are her subordinates. This is because behind the Rain God stands the Nine Nether Saint King, from this we can see how powerful the Nine Nether Saint King is.

Before leaving, Hong Shushan made a special arrangement and invited most of the skilled craftsmen in Haoyin City to gather together to create a real golden body for Shen Qing in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

There are various requirements for the golden body of the incense god, starting from the lowest level of longevity tablet, then to the clay model, on top of the clay model the god's body is carved out of fragrant wood, then up to the finest bluestone, and then to jade.

Jade can be divided into spiritual jade and ordinary jade. The better the material, the higher the purity of the faith and will power collected, and the more beneficial it is to the growth of cultivation.

For this purpose, he specially took out a piece of spiritual jade that was more than two meters high from the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion. A spiritual jade golden body of this size would be tempting even for a fifth-level divine descendant, as it could speed up the pace of cultivation and was a priceless treasure.

This piece of spiritual jade was originally a treasure that Ji Yunxiao wanted to take back to Middle-earth and present to a divine general. However, for some unknown reason, he did not take it with him when he left, but kept it behind.

Hong Shushan did not intend to take anything away, so he simply used this item to create a golden jade body for Shen Qing.

Shen Qing didn't care too much about this. The incense and vows she absorbed were free of impurities, so she didn't have much concern about the material used for the golden body.

However, she did not reject Hong Shushan's kindness. With the golden body, she could collect the incense and power faster. Through this, she also wanted to know more about the incense gods.

Now, she is following the path of incense and spirits with her flesh and blood, which is a deviation from the practice path of ordinary cultivators. She is no longer purely practicing the Secret Book of the Origin of the Stars.

It is not easy to travel through time and space. In the absence of much risk, she naturally wants to try more paths to feed herself, until her future self is perfect and becomes even more powerful.

Soon, a group of craftsmen began to carve spiritual jade and built a statue of "Twelve Months" in front of the City Lord's Mansion. At the same time, Hong Shushan also left the city completely.

There are also different divisions of labor among the gods, just like the nine generals under the command of the Nine Nether Saint King. Most of their duties are different. They are in charge of wind and rain, commanding thunder, controlling the four seasons, affecting the alternation of the sun and the moon, etc. There is also a god of war who is in charge of killing.

Many people do not have a specific impression of the newly emerged god December. They only know that she is a god, but have not yet labeled her.

However, being able to build the statue before the City Lord's Mansion is enough to demonstrate its strength, which means that the city is actually under the rule of this deity.

Therefore, before the statue was built, many people came to worship it voluntarily, and Shen Qing also received some meager incense and prayers.

Shen Qing clearly noticed some differences in the wish power that flowed in this time. After being purified by the sundial, she was able to preserve a greater amount.

Moreover, compared to the previous time in the Snake Village, the same believers provided her with more than double the power of wishes.

It seems that due to the material problem of the statue, some of the wish power had dissipated before it could be absorbed.

This golden body made of spiritual jade is also of great use to her.

…………

There were many hungry people in Haoyin City. Their faces were sallow, their steps were staggering, and they were on the verge of collapse. Most of them were lying under the eaves of houses on the street, the most conspicuous position.

This was done to make it easier for the city defense forces to collect the bodies, so as to prevent the bodies from rotting in the home and causing an epidemic.

In the situation where there was no harvest of grain, the people were just barely able to survive by relying on the grain stored in the city treasury, and now they are already stretched to the limit.

The distribution of grain and porridge has changed from twice a day to once every two days. The thick porridge before has now become watery.

In addition to eating, there is actually another way to stay alive, which is to have a cultivator inject internal energy, which can also keep you alive.

However, this is also a considerable burden for the monks, so they naturally have to charge a fee. This fee is definitely something that ordinary people cannot afford.

The streets were sparsely populated. A skinny boy about thirteen or fourteen was walking slowly with a seven or eight-year-old girl in the originally bustling street, with his head lowered and looking listless.

The clothes they were wearing were of very fine material, and it was obvious that they came from wealthy families, but the soles of their shoes and the edges of their robes were stained with mud, and it was obvious that they had just returned from outside the city.

After turning a few corners, the two entered a slightly old cloth shop.

"mother."

After entering the door, the girl following the boy took two quick steps and called out in a soft voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in her forties lifted the curtain and walked out from the inner room. Her cheeks were sunken and her thin body seemed like it would be blown down by the wind at any time. There were a few strands of gray in her messy hair.

Seeing the young man with empty hands, the woman's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she said softly: "What's the situation outside the city?"

"The river is almost dry, and I'm afraid the well at home won't last much longer."

The boy pursed his cracked lips slightly, his eyes revealing an unshakable worry. Once the water was cut off, life would become even more difficult.

Previously, monks from all sides did not know the reason and when they saw the earth cracking, they dug ditches to bring water to irrigate the fields. Now the fields have not been saved and the water source is almost drying up, which is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

"Mom, I heard that there's a new god in town, how about... we go and worship him?"

The young man said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness: "Maybe it's a compassionate god..."

Having said that, there was not a trace of hope in his expression. Most gods would not care about the life or death of their believers. They had too many believers, and the death of a few of them would not be a big deal. But if the tribute was not presented in time, they would definitely be angry and bring down divine punishment.

"There is nothing left at home to offer. If I go there empty-handed, I'm afraid the gods will punish me."

The woman looked hesitant. When offering sacrifices to gods, especially for the first time, etiquette is absolutely essential. If the gods are angered, it would be like being sentenced to death. It would be better not to go.

Hearing this, the young man touched the dagger in his arms, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out the door:

"I'll go and try it alone. The gods won't punish me."

"Renqing!"

The woman quickly chased to the door, her face worried. She hesitated for a moment before squeezing out a sentence: "Be careful."

If we don't try, this family will really be doomed.

The boy didn't even turn his head, waved his hand, and disappeared at the end of the street in a blink of an eye.

There were obviously many people who shared the same idea as the young man. After the sun went down, there were obviously more people on the streets. Each of them looked like a walking corpse, staggering towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The young man followed the crowd and soon arrived at the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

The golden body of the deity has not yet been completed, but some of its outlines can be vaguely seen. It is a goddess with gentle eyebrows and eyes.

Seeing the statue, the young man and everyone in the square felt relieved. With a goddess who looked so gentle, perhaps Haoyin City would soon be able to return to its previous state.

squeak--

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened, and two rows of city defense soldiers walked out, carrying large steaming pots, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Among the city defense troops, Qin Bao stood at the head, his face solemn, and said in a deep voice: "This is a gift from God, everyone has a share, no one can take more."
