Chapter 678 I wish you no disaster
The celestial demon has become very restrained.
If it were in ancient times, the water town would have been a river of blood and piles of corpses.
It will not deliberately bully humans, but that does not mean it will allow humans to provoke it!
However, Tian Yao knew that Li Yuan was not a bloodthirsty person, nor did he like to attack the weak, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction and just cursed a few times.
Since these two time travelers from the same place have chosen to stick together for warmth, they will respect each other's ideas.
The people who were causing trouble were frightened by the celestial demon and burst into tears. They never wanted to experience again the feeling of being treated like tiny ants that could be crushed to death at any time.
Li Yuan was not indifferent.
He stayed in the water town for a few days and used his own merits and incense to refine a merit clone.
This meritorious clone consumed nearly 10% of Li Yuan's total incense offerings. Although the proportion is not large, it is already a huge amount, equivalent to the total incense offerings of ordinary immortals and gods in tens of thousands of years.
The refined merit clone is not as flexible as the false god clone. It only has independent thinking and a secret space formation hidden in its body, but it cannot connect to the original body's thinking.
He left this clone of merit behind and also bestowed many magical treasures on the clone, giving it to it to use, as a response to the demands of the people who were causing trouble here.
However, what he did not tell the people was that the specific strength of this meritorious clone depended on the degree of trust the local people had in him as the Anshan Mountain God.
If people have devout faith, this clone of merit can even briefly burst out the power of Li Yuan's original body, which is enough to deal with most situations.
But if it is just false respect...the power of this clone may not be as strong as that of the mountain god who bravely blew himself up.
Of course, Li Yuan is not a petty person.
If they really encounter danger, and the people's minds are divided and their wishes are mixed, resulting in the incarnation of merit being weak, this incarnation will turn into a sky full of golden light of merit at the last moment, protecting this place and waiting for rescue from the surrounding areas.
Even more, the clone of merit will observe those kind-hearted people in advance, and in times of crisis, will use the space formation hidden in its body to forcibly send the good people away.
However, when the good people are safe and this place is still in danger...he may not come here in person again.
Li Yuan sympathizes with the weak, but he is not a saint without any bottom line. It is useless to save those who are full of jealousy and evil thoughts, and it will affect other people and hinder the overall situation.
After being scolded by the Heavenly Demon, seeing that Li Yuan had indeed left behind a "powerful" clone, the people did not dare to cross the line again, and retreated silently, dispersing into the crowd.
However, those kind-hearted and peaceful people looked at them with a certain degree of contempt and helplessness.
Fear of death is the instinct of all living things.
There is nothing wrong with asking for asylum.
But he received great favor from others for saving his life and relied on Anyue for supplies, but he complained about this and that, and even cursed while holding the bowl. This is too much of a loss of bottom line.
The reason why people are called "people" is because they have moral bottom lines in their hearts and know how to restrain themselves and encourage themselves, not just because they can speak and think!
"Look at what this has caused. Alas, people are so greedy..."
"You are even trying to hold the mountain god hostage. How foolish! Everyone's life is precious. The mountain god cares about all living beings. How can he be bound by a piece of land?"
"We still need to strengthen ideological education..."
The local Anyue officials sighed and respectfully saw Li Yuan and Tian Yao off. Looking at the meritorious clone emitting golden light in the sky, they were also filled with emotion.
He was reluctant to attack those excited people, and he and his companions tried their best to stop them, but he never thought that the matter would still become so embarrassing.
From now on, the water town will probably have a somewhat negative impression in the minds of the mountain god and other practitioners.
This has really had a huge impact on their officials who are responsible for maintaining order and peace.
To be honest, the local Anyue officials almost thought that the Mountain God was going to be angry, but they didn't expect that the Mountain God would leave a clone to take care of them.
"My mountain god is so easy to talk to, alas..."
The official who came out of Anyue, whose father was one of the founding members of the country, knew well the significance of the four words "Anshan Mountain God".
"If I were a god, I wouldn't want to shoulder such a huge pressure while being questioned and threatened by others..."
"No, if I could be a god, when this chaotic world comes, wouldn't it be better for me to just hide in a deserted corner and have some peace and quiet?"
Official Anyue bowed to the incarnation of merit in the sky and turned back to take stock of the situation.
At this moment, a voice came from the sky and went directly into his ears.
"Even immortals and gods cannot escape this catastrophe."
"If the human race wants to protect itself, it has to strengthen itself."
It turned out that Li Yuan's meritorious clone heard the words in his heart and responded.
Li Yuan's words were not exaggerated. The gods and immortals have their own tribulations, the demons have their own retribution, and all living beings in the three realms are waiting for a great reckoning.
This reckoning has just begun, and he currently still has enough strength to barely protect the human world for a while.
But when the disaster became more and more severe, he was unable to take care of himself... and could not protect this world forever.
Official Anyue was stunned, bowed slightly to the sky, and murmured in a low voice: "If immortals and gods cannot escape the disaster, then I hope you can be safe and sound, and not be disturbed by the disaster... It's just my wish."
He is a native of Anyue who grew up hearing the name of the Anshan Mountain God. He has studied spiritual science and attended lectures on new thinking. He will question the nature of the world, but he will not doubt Li Yuan.
This immortal god who protected their entire Anyue and now guards the entire human world is gentle, kind, and compassionate to all living beings. He is the most perfect god in his mind.
The figure in the sky did not respond, but a faint golden light reflected back to the official, as if in return for his wish.
The official's spirits perked up, and his tired body regained vitality, as if he had been baptized, and he immediately smiled with gratitude.
After bowing politely, he calmed down, stopped bothering her, and went back to his own work.
Some other practitioners and intelligent creatures also bowed silently to Li Yuan and went on with their own business.
They are willing to protect the people not only because they have good intentions in their hearts, but also because they believe in Li Yuan, believe in the law of cause and effect, and believe that good people will eventually be rewarded.
The world is in chaos, and disasters are everywhere. If the human beings cannot work together under the leadership of a benevolent immortal like Li Yuan, I am afraid that they will be destroyed, which is also the general trend.
The human world is the world of all living spirits, but it is not just the world of humans; humanity is the great way of all living beings, but it is not just the way of humans.
If the human race can never stand up, there will always be a more suitable race to take over the torch from the human race and become the new darling of heaven and the dominant group in the world.
Today, Heaven and the Emperor of Heaven have not given up on the human race. It is not because the human race is so special, but because the human race’s peerless strongmen once ignited a dazzling flame that has not yet been extinguished.
But the power to extinguish this fire does not come from a powerful external enemy, but from people's hearts.
As long as people still retain the bottom line of being human and possess the good quality of kindness, this fire will never go out; but once people's hearts are like beasts and they are full of hatred, even if all the gods gather together, this fire can no longer be ignited.
