Chen Shi returned to Ganyang Mountain several days later.
This time, he was on his journey home, and was able to leisure down and observe the people's livelihood amidst these chaotic times.
After the cataclysm occurred, even more people should have originally died. First, a continuous snow disaster lasting several years would have frozen to death eight or nine out of every ten people. Fortunately, however, Immortal Feng fiercely broke through the Upper Realm, causing thousands of void suns to hang in the sky, providing the world with light and heat and averting the snow disaster.
Yet this cataclysm, with the Underworld invasion, evil spirits everywhere, and a food crisis, also led to countless deaths and injuries. Coupled with man-made disasters and powerful clans everywhere, there were frequent occurrences of people being eaten, pickled, dried in the sun, and stored to use as food. Of the people who survived, two out of ten were not even three tenths.
Those who sheltered the common people the most were none other than Red Mountain Hall and these Huaxia Deities revived by Chen Shi. Wherever their temples stood, there would be harvests.
At the end of the True King Era, heaven and earth underwent a drastic change, with countless common people dying or being injured, and fewer than one in ten surviving. But that cataclysm lasted for more than forty years, whereas today's cataclysm has only lasted for four years and already caused this many deaths. Investigating the reason, it is mainly because the imperial court did not unify the various factions, leaving every region like a plate of scattered sand.
Chen Shi thought silently in his heart, Unfortunately, I am not the imperial court... But I can become the imperial court!
His spirit surged. *I'll rebel the moment I return to Ganyang
