Chapter 700 Greed
A certain mountain god of a certain community left a clone to look after Linchuan, while his real body hid in Anshan and rolled his eyes coldly at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was naturally happy to have friends come to Anshan to get together, but as for the visitors, he could only throw up his hands and express helplessness.
Fortunately, the Linchuan Mountain God did not have high demands and gave him a quiet place where no one could disturb him while he practiced.
You wouldn't know it if you didn't see it, but Linchuan had quietly broken through to the great power realm during the catastrophe, far surpassing those mountain gods of the fairy mountain level.
"strong."
Even Li Yuan had to give a thumbs up to the Linchuan Mountain God and was happy for his friend's improved strength.
He also felt a sense of urgency, thinking that his status as a half-step powerful being was totally insufficient and he could not resist those powerful enemies.
A good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. The catastrophe will eventually come again. The improvement of Li Yuan's own strength is much more critical to this catastrophe than Anyue's spiritual science explosion and the prosperity of the cultivation era.
So, Li Yuan put aside those tedious matters, trusted his relatives and friends to handle it properly, and he slowly entered a state of seclusion under the old Bodhi tree, accompanied by that group of souls.
Before entering into meditation, Li Yuan looked at the souls being nurtured under the Bodhi tree and said in a gentle voice: "At present, the Heavenly Court is only recruiting for a few positions. Everyone, please be patient. I will help you pave the way for goodness."
Those souls had been nurtured for a long time and had already awakened. At this moment, they also bowed and said, "Lord Mountain God, please have pity on our remaining souls, but we don't want to cause Lord Mountain God to work hard..."
Li Yuan chuckled and comforted them: "This is what you deserve, and it is also my choice. A little bit of walking around and talking will give you a long way to go. It's worth it."
The souls were deeply moved and bowed again, completely bowing.
Li Yuan entered into a state of meditation, gradually fell into a state of seclusion, and began to practice his own Tao.
In the system of immortals and gods in the human world, from the ninth to the first level, and even to the great god realm, as long as one has enough merits and incense, one can be promoted step by step.
But after reaching the realm of great god, it is equivalent to reaching the pinnacle of immortal gods on earth. Going further, it has exceeded the limitations of the priesthood.
Especially the level division of the Mountain Tribe, the position of Qianshan Jun corresponds to the Great God Realm, and if you move up to the Great Power, you can barely reach the level of the top powerful mountain master.
Therefore, the path that Li Yuan can take is one that he can only comprehend on his own, and he can no longer benefit from the priesthood.
Just like the Linchuan Mountain God, he also broke through the limitations of his priesthood and realized his own path, and then entered the realm of great power.
Li Yuan's retreat lasted for dozens of years.
Only the false god's clone is still active, patrolling various places in the human world, and often interacting with many human immortals and gods to enhance their relationships.
During the great catastrophe and turbulent times, the situation was urgent and Li Yuan could not afford to delay. He could only command the gods by force.
But now that he has a chance for a hundred years of peace, he must make these immortal gods in the world gradually change their views on him. Even if he can't make them respect him, at least he can't allow those resistance emotions to grow.
Li Yuan's real body was in seclusion, while his fake god clone traveled around to pay homage to the immortals.
Human beings are moving forward in an era of great explosion.
An Yue promoted the explosion of spiritual science, and the craze for cultivation also slowly came with the explosive improvement of spiritual science.
A large number of geniuses have emerged in the world, each of them with outstanding gifts and talents. Perhaps this is a sign of the rise of human fortune.
But at the same time, conflicts between humans and other species are gradually growing.
In the past, humans lived in an era where men farmed and women wove, and they made mats and sold shoes. It was inconvenient to travel between different places, and coupled with the legends of immortals, gods, demons and monsters, there were many uninhabited areas for creatures of other races to survive.
But with the explosion of spiritual science, not to mention anything else, the many factories built by An Yue alone extended all the way from Anshan to Liangshan.
Those factories emit a large amount of foul air, which not only dilutes the spiritual environment, but also has a huge impact on the surrounding creatures due to the survival needs of the huge population.
This is just a glimpse.
The living space of other races is being continuously squeezed, and as the number of human practitioners has increased dramatically, their hunting targets have gradually shifted from ordinary creatures to creatures with cultivation.
They regarded those spiritual beasts as living treasures, removing their bones and flesh, digging out their hearts and livers, and making full use of them.
Generally speaking, people will not take the initiative to harm kind beings who are practicing the Dharma. Even if someone is bold enough to do so, they will do it secretly, like poaching.
But this situation only lasted for a few years. When the first greedy person wielded his butcher knife against the spiritual beast, the momentum that followed was an avalanche, and greed was unstoppable.
Ordinary captive livestock could no longer satisfy their greed. After tasting the flesh and blood of spiritual beasts and knowing the precious value of their parts, they became crazy.
If others can kill him, why can't I?
The fur of spiritual beasts is valuable, their flesh is delicious and nutritious, their bones can be made into weapons, and they are also extremely easy to deceive. Why shouldn’t I kill them!
If it dares to fight back and hurt people, it is no longer a spiritual beast, but a demon, and I must kill it!
Demons are also transformed from spiritual beasts. We are here to eradicate these troubles!
Once humans have the power to change the situation, the shamelessness and greed deep in their hearts can no longer be concealed.
Even with ideological instruction and moral restrictions, they will still be blinded by profit and become crazy.
The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, but money can move people's hearts.
Even with An Yue's ban, people still began to act recklessly.
Spiritual beasts from all over the world were being hunted by human practitioners. They knew nothing about it and thought that people would stick to the peaceful ideals of the Anshan Mountain God. They didn't even have any defense against humans, and were killed in large numbers...
If a demon that harms people is killed, no one will feel sorry.
But the creatures of all kinds who stay honestly in the mountains and rivers, practice virtue diligently, and are even good at helping others are being hunted and killed wantonly by greedy people... This is undoubtedly heartbreaking.
A large number of intelligent beasts lost all their relatives and friends in the wanton hunting. They were filled with hatred, and gradually degenerated into demons, vowing to take revenge on the human race!
More spiritual beasts even asked for help from immortal gods and gods in various places. After hearing the news, some immortal gods and gods rushed forward to stop them, which made those greedy people stop.
Such things also aroused the anger of Emperor Anyue, who sent out a large army of practitioners to suppress the greedy people everywhere!
A red warning law was even promulgated, strictly prohibiting the sale and trade of the flesh and parts of spiritual beasts in the market. Violators would be imprisoned at the very least, or beheaded at the worst!
"Spirit is not the enemy of humanity. Greed will destroy everything. Don't let the one who gave you power feel that you don't deserve it!"
"If you don't even let go of the honest and upright spirits... you will never be able to kill all the demons and evil spirits in the world!"
"You are creating disasters and enemies with your own hands. My people, wake up!"
Emperor Anyue issued a call and strengthened the ideological education of the people in various places, so as to prevent those folk practitioners from destroying this hard-earned tranquility out of greed and ignorance!
Recently, the fake god's clone brought the little Qilin to visit the boss in heaven, and Li Yuan's original body was in seclusion again. He didn't want Li Yuan to know such a chilling thing!
An Yue began to suppress lawbreakers on a large scale, and the immortals in the world received An Yue's instructions and began to cooperate...
However, what people don’t know is that their wanton killing of spiritual beasts has already angered the celestial demon.
No one has ever known whether Kunpeng and the real dragon, these two extremely powerful top races, are spirits or monsters.
But the anger of the celestial demon will make the world understand this problem.
