Devouring a Heavenly God (3/3)

"The body of Heavenly Deity is not so easy to digest."

Hearing the commotion behind him, Qingfu, whose legs had grown back, forced a smile.

Heavenly Deity are different from ordinary deities.

That is the supreme being who transforms himself into nature.

Even a fraction of the power descended to earth through "Divine Descent" is enough to bridge the gap between gods and humans.

The "Deceiver" who overestimated his abilities and forcibly swallowed half of the demigod's body will inevitably suffer the backlash from that half of Divine Power.

Qingfu could almost imagine that the Black Dragon would eventually transform into a ray of blue light and then vanish into nothingness.

[Go in this direction]

Just then, Green Wood Clan's voice suddenly rang in Qingfu's mind.

This unusual statement immediately startled Qingfu, causing him to unconsciously slow his pace by half a beat.

It should be noted that Qingfu has now exited the "Divine Descent" state, and its connection with the gods should theoretically have been severed.

"Yes, my god!"

Fortunately, Qingfu truly lived up to his reputation as a chosen priest carefully cultivated by the Guifang Kingdom.

After only a brief moment of hesitation, Qingfu put his inner confusion aside and ran in the direction Green Wood Clan had pointed.

After crossing a mountain forest and bypassing a river valley.

The first thing that catches Qingfu's eye is a patch of buckwheat with red stems and green leaves, growing very well.

Although it is called "buckwheat", it is not actually a type of wheat.

Because of its bitter taste, and because there was no concept or tool specifically for making noodles or flatbreads from it at that time.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, very few people would choose to grow buckwheat specifically.

At the very least, in the education Qingfu received, buckwheat was categorized as something only the lower classes, the chaff that mountain dwellers would eat when they were starving.

This was the first time Qingfu had ever seen anyone cultivate this crop on such a large scale. Qingfu even doubted whether the Mountain Folk cultivated it knew that this stuff was bitter.

[This is not ordinary buckwheat; it is a selected and optimized superior variety.]

I was equally surprised by this.

However, Green Wood Clan soon noticed that this buckwheat was different from the buckwheat he knew.

These buckwheat roots are thicker, the pods are larger, and they even emit a faint fragrance.

This means that while the buckwheat berries may still be bitter, they have at least reached the standard of being "edible".

"Does an existence possess such wisdom and Divine Ability to select the seeds of these crops?"

The Guifang Kingdom did have the concept of "breeding," which is why Qingfu was even more shocked.

Whether the selector uses wisdom or Divine Ability, it means that he could have used those abilities in more important areas.

Who did all this?

Faced with Qingfu's question, Green Wood Clan chose to remain silent.

Because the Green Wood Clan is not the Roaring Heaven Clan, they cannot gather intelligence through the omnipresent wind.

In fact, the reason why Green Wood Clan made Qingfu run in this direction was not because she noticed anything special about these buckwheat.

"Who? Who's there!"

In that brief moment of silence, the arrival of the Qingfu successfully alerted the villagers of Mountain Hollow Village.

When a group of Mountain Folk carrying sticks and pitchforks arrived at the village entrance.

Qingfu stopped waiting for the Green Wood Clan's response and instead revealed a smile.

After successfully persuading Xiluo.

Li Boyang didn't sit still either; he immediately Riding Clouds and Driving Mist and flew towards the direction of Mountain Hollow Village.

Instead of using the auspicious white cloud that combines speed and agility, Li Boyang summoned a dark, ominous cloud this time.

Call!

Because it flies very close to the ground.

Li Boyang's flight speed wasn't particularly fast, but he was able to maintain it within a stable range.

With a continuous supply of Sha Qi energy, Li Boyang not only did not suffer any loss.

On the contrary, it can gradually adjust one's own essence, energy, and spirit, bringing them into their optimal state.

"Did you deliberately send Xiluo away?"

"Are you ready for a major battle?"

Without a sound, a blue Kingfisher appeared in Li Boyang's field of vision.

Even though it was just flapping its wings at an ordinary speed, the blue Kingfisher was able to keep up with Li Boyang's speed Riding Clouds and Driving Mist.

"You're not going to keep avoiding me anymore?"

Not at all surprised by the appearance of the Kingfisher, Li Boyang merely raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

"Was your appearance this time orchestrated by the guy behind you, or is it your own will?"

Upon hearing Li Boyang's words, the Kingfisher was visibly taken aback.

Because she never expected that Li Boyang could talk to her so calmly, as if her appearance was entirely within his expectations.

"As expected of a human who inherited Wu Yao's legacy, this ability can be quite troublesome at times."

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang simply smiled and retorted.

"No, this kind of thing doesn't require divination; a little reasoning is enough to guess it."

"After all, Xiluo isn't particularly smart; some of her ideas and thoughts are even more naive than mine. Yet, she always manages to find the key to solving problems at crucial moments."

"Once or twice might be a coincidence."

"But it's been like this for thousands of years, so it's clearly not a coincidence."

Before the Kingfisher could speak again, Li Boyang began to speak on his own.

"So, to sum it up, there's always someone offering Xiluo advice at the most crucial moments."

"I just wonder if it's because of my presence that you've gradually reduced your contact with Xiluo over the years—"

As he said this, Li Boyang gave a slightly helpless smile.

"Are you afraid that I'll use my possession ability to reveal secrets you don't want outsiders to know?"

"Or is it that the Witch of the Huai River has left too deep a psychological scar on you?"

"So you think I'll eventually suffer the same fate as that witch?"

Li Boyang wasn't surprised that he didn't get the answer he wanted from the Kingfisher.

Or rather, the Kingfisher's silence confirmed some of Li Boyang's guesses.

The ability to seize the Heavenly Mandate Divine Ability of the future, coupled with a personality that loves to get to the bottom of things, means that neither the Witch of the Huai River from a thousand years ago nor Li Boyang from a thousand years later is destined to be a likable existence.

The only difference between the two is that Li Boyang was far less naive than that Witch of the Huai River.

"Let me guess further. Is your willingness to show yourself to me this time because what might happen next has seriously affected the entity behind you?"

"One of the Gods of the Five Directions, Green Wood Clan, risked descending to earth in his true form to come to these Hundred Lands Mountain Range..."

"Is it because of some intense conflict between the Guifang Kingdom and even the Gods of the Five Directions?"
