Chapter 145 Difficulties
"Linglong River God has a kind heart."
Li Yuan sighed.
The black giant turtle calmed down a little.
"Although Lord River God blocked the eyes with his own body, the dark evil is still escaping all the time."
"Years of erosion, even a god with abundant immortal power can't stand it."
"When Lord River God passed away, he was so weak. How could she bear it..."
Tears flowed from the eyes of the black giant turtle.
When the creatures in the river became intelligent, it was the Linglong River God who led them carefully, like a guide and a relative.
Many years later, the dark evil spirit escaped into the river, perhaps indicating that the Linglong River God had already...
The black giant turtle didn't want to think about it anymore.
Zhang Tiansheng frowned slightly.
"Don't the gods in heaven care about these things?"
The black giant turtle tilted its head cautiously and glanced at the man in white.
Instinctively, it felt a greater reverence for the man in white than for the young mountain god.
"Lord River God has reported this matter many times, but..."
"Because the Lord River God had a dispute with the Jade Envoy here because of the incense-making matter."
"The news I reported was like a stone sinking into the sea. There has never been a response from the immortals or gods."
Zhang Tiansheng frowned and took a deep breath.
He seemed to understand something.
Whether it is the Jade Order Envoy from Li Yuan's territory or the Jade Order Envoy from this territory.
The power seems a little too great.
Mountain gods and river gods, who are in charge of an area of land alone, are prone to becoming extremely biased and tyrannical.
The Jade Order Envoy is a priest who is responsible for granting titles and blessings, and is also in charge of controlling the mountain or river gods of a fairly large area.
It is equivalent to putting oneself above all the gods and immortals in the world.
All matters concerning the human world, mountain gods or river gods must be reported to the Jade Envoy.
However, whether to report or not, and how to report, are all decided by Yu Lingshi alone.
Small gods basically cannot contact the Heavenly Court directly without going through the Jade Envoy.
As for the mountain and river gods who manage the human world, Yu Lingshi can almost order them around and make arrangements at will.
Although the priesthood is small, the power it carries is equivalent to controlling a part of the human world.
No matter how diligent and hardworking an immortal or god is, he will gradually fall under the influence of such power over the years.
The Emperor of Heaven sighed inwardly.
The Heavenly Court created this position in order to simplify complicated procedures and avoid delays in earthly affairs.
Who would have thought that time would eventually corrupt everything, and the pure hearts of immortals and gods would also change amidst flattery and power.
He came down to earth to travel around the human world in order to see the human world described in the memorials; but wasn't he also trying to find the corners in heaven where the light could not reach?
Li Yuan snorted coldly:
"This Jade Envoy is really brave."
"If Linglong River is completely eroded by evil spirits, and the evil spirits of the underworld spread to the human world, how much karma will be caused? Can he afford it?!"
The black giant turtle recalled the arrogant look of the Jade Envoy and sighed softly.
"No, he will only tell the higher-ups that the Linglong River God was negligent and ignorant and did not report it."
"Everything is the fault of Linglong River God. What does it have to do with the Jade Envoy in the sky?"
Li Yuan got goosebumps all over his back.
"We must not have a monopolistic class..."
"Without supervision and restraint, ambitions will flourish."
Li Yuan shook his head and sighed.
Zhang Tiansheng's eyes flashed.
In his sleeve, there was a piece of golden paper that no one could see.
There was a row of small words written on the gold paper.
'land'?
'City defender, envoy, and moat'?
Now, another row of words has been quietly added.
Withdraw...the Jade Order Envoy...?
Obviously, the Emperor of Heaven had the idea of moving the system of immortals and gods.
However, he still needs to think carefully.
After all, making drastic changes to the rules of heaven and resetting the powers of immortals and gods will be an extremely obscure and difficult task.
If we are not careful, the three realms will be subverted.
"So, what are the rules in the river?"
"You said that the gods of the surrounding mountains and rivers are greedy and sit back and watch their old friends perish. Could it be that..."
Li Yuan asked again.
The black giant turtle sighed:
"The evil spirit of the underworld is leaking into the river, and it needs something with great vitality to suppress it."
"After years of consumption, the spiritual seedlings in the river have died and their vitality has declined."
"As a last resort, I can only exchange spiritual seedlings with the surrounding mountain gods and river gods to offset the influence of the evil spirit and maintain the vitality of Linglong River."
As it spoke, the black giant turtle sensed that there was evil energy from somewhere that had transformed the corpses in the river, and it couldn't help but rush out with the two of them.
With the power of Linglong River, it quickly swam to a river area.
The black giant turtle's claws were so huge and its scales were so thick that it tore into pieces the trembling white bones, with helplessness in its eyes.
During the time of this conversation, many unusual movements had already occurred in the river.
There were piles of white bones, some even stood up from the mud and wandered in the water.
That was the resentment left in the remains, corroded and controlled by evil spirits.
The giant black turtle seemed to be the guardian of Linglong River. It kept swimming in the river, tearing the mutated corpses into pieces.
When a boat crossed the river again but left behind less food, the giant black turtle became angry and wanted to capsize the boat.
Li Yuan sighed:
"If you continue to accumulate the karma of killing, your good nature as a spirit will be wiped out."
The black giant turtle paused, and suddenly became very irritable, as if some painful spot was touched.
It swung its tail and threw Li Yuan and the other man off its back.
"I've already been a demon!"
"From the moment I killed the first mortal, I will always be a demon!"
The black giant turtle's eyes were red, his emotions were extremely extreme, and he growled.
"They wanted Ao's blood, and I gave it to them!"
"They asked for spirit stones, and I gave them to them!"
"They bullied us and asked for river treasures, so I gave them to them!"
"Those guys' appetites are getting bigger and bigger. I have nothing to exchange for spiritual seedlings!"
"They are asking for food from the mortal world again, and each time they ask for more, and I have tried my best to give them to them!!!"
"Isn't Linglong River the mother river of the mortals here? The Lord River God has protected the mortals for generations, and it is time for the mortals to make contributions!"
"Everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer a loss!"
"The Linglong River stretches for thousands of miles. If it is completely eroded by evil spirits, this land will become a forbidden place and all living things will die!"
"They offered me food, and I exchanged it for spiritual seedlings to keep Linglong River peaceful and to protect their inheritance from generation to generation. What's wrong with that?!"
"I clearly warned the mortals... I even killed people, ruined a thousand years of practice, and fell into the path of a demon!"
“But why…why!”
"Why are there still so many mortals who are still hoping for the best!"
"Without enough food, I can't exchange for spiritual seedlings, and everything will be over!!"
The black giant turtle fell into extreme madness, and all the pain that had been suppressed in his heart burst out at this moment.
In the decades since the river god left, the entire Linglong River has been without god's jurisdiction and is almost on the verge of decline.
The black giant turtle was busy all the time, trying its best to protect its home and live up to the kindness and teachings of the River God.
But, who knows how much cold stares and ridicule it has endured and how much it has paid?
It is just an old turtle with spiritual intelligence. It does not have the divinity and power of the river god, nor does it have the skills and means to reach the sky.
In the eyes of immortals and gods, it is a lowly demon; in the eyes of mortals, it is also a vicious river beast.
Li Yuan looked at the mad black giant turtle, and fairy light appeared in his hands.
"The water of Linglong River contains evil spirits, and it itself has been seriously corroded by the evil spirits."
"Now that I have stirred up the resentment and caused it to explode, letting it out, it can help ease the pain."
On the side, Zhang Tiansheng nodded calmly.
Li Yuan's eyes were gentle, and he did not feel upset because of the black turtle's misconduct.
A little fairy light flew out from his fingertips, the fairy light was soft and emitted a faint glow.
At the bottom of the deep river, it was like the stars in the dark night, sinking into the brow of the black giant turtle, causing it to gradually calm down.
The black giant turtle slowly let go of its annoyance, and looked at Li Yuan's soft and warm eyes, its heart trembled.
With her...
Such a similar look.
