A god incarnate as a natural disaster
Fifteen minutes later, in the Li family's courtyard.
Li Boyang sat on a small stool, facing off against Deception Rabbit.
Chen Yun was busy in the kitchen, and Li Jingshu was obediently helping her.
With the storm approaching, Li Yu, as the head of the family, would definitely return home early, along with an uninvited Deception Rabbit.
The food was enough for five people, enough to keep Chen Yun and Li Jingshu busy for a while.
"You're saying the slave-catching team from the Guifang Kingdom is only a few hundred miles away?"
"Is the hurricane we are seeing now actually an incarnation of one of the Gods of the Five Directions — the Roaring Heaven Clan?"
Although I already knew how bizarre this world was.
But when Li Boyang heard that the hurricane was actually the incarnation of a god, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.
That Big Black Dog imprisoned in the Ghost God Cave... it seems to have mentioned something similar?
What's so strange about that?
"Not all gods enjoy contact with living beings, and even fewer are willing to expose their weaknesses to humans."
Glancing at the astonished Li Boyang, Deception Rabbit explained the situation to him.
"A tangible body implies tangible weaknesses, while an intangible body implies a transcendent status..."
"Ordinary gods might not be able to do this, but deities of the Gods of the Five Directions ' level are clearly not ordinary gods."
Li Boyang nodded knowingly, roughly understanding the meaning behind Deception Rabbit's words.
Before he knew it, Li Boyang even remembered what the Big Black Dog had said in the Ghost God Cave.
One of the advanced states of a deity seems to be transforming oneself into a living natural phenomenon.
"Can I simply understand it as the Roaring Heaven Clan manifesting in the form of a hurricane to maintain its prestige in front of its followers?"
"After all, no matter how terrifying a physical body may be, it can't compare to a true natural disaster."
"Wait, did the Roaring Heaven Clan really choose to maintain the current hurricane state voluntarily?"
Upon hearing this, Deception Rabbit tilted its head slightly.
He felt that Li Boyang's understanding seemed to be flawed, but he didn't know how to refute him.
"As long as you understand, that's fine."
"Since the Roaring Heaven Clan has shown himself, it means that He has been thoroughly enraged."
"I'd like you to do a divination to see if the old woman is alive or dead."
When he said this, Deception Rabbit made no attempt to hide the worry on his face, a stark contrast to his usual carefree demeanor.
"What if my divination indicates I'm still alive?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Boyang asked this question in return.
Are you planning to go and save her?
"To be an enemy of a god who can manifest as natural disasters?"
To be honest, Li Boyang was shocked when he learned from Deception Rabbit that the old woman had actually taken the initiative to stop the slave-hunting army of the Guifang Kingdom.
He simply couldn't understand where that old witch who taught children to read at the Land God Temple got the audacity to confront an army of ten thousand.
However, looking at the Roaring Heaven Clan manifesting in the form of a hurricane.
Li Boyang felt as if he had never truly known that old woman.
Putting everything else aside, Li Boyang now has serious doubts.
The old woman had actually realized that he was secretly learning, which is why she started teaching him from the very simplest characters.
"She saved my life, and she taught me, little by little, to master my own talents and abilities."
Without the slightest hesitation, Deception Rabbit answered decisively.
"In your human terms, she is both my savior and my second parent."
"Whether she is alive or dead, I am prepared to be an enemy of the Roaring Heaven Clan."
Words like "overestimating one's abilities" and "ignoring one's own limitations" are no longer sufficient to describe Deception Rabbit at this moment.
After all, the object of his declaration of war was a genuine god capable of manifesting natural disasters.
But no one doubts the determination shown by Deception Rabbit.
Just as an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot, neither the ant nor the mantis considers any way out.
A fit of rage, the courage of a mere brute.
In this context, it is never a derogatory term.
"Since you've put it that way, what else can I say?"
After staring at the Deception Rabbit for a long time, Li Boyang finally sighed helplessly.
"You're my friend, and she's practically my mentor. How could I possibly stand idly by?"
Immediately understanding Li Boyang's implied meaning, Deception Rabbit looked at him with both surprise and astonishment.
Mount Yunmeng, Flying Peak, Mountain God Temple.
"The Roaring Heaven Clan?"
Standing at the highest point of Ghost God Cliff.
Xiluo raised her eyes and gazed into the distance, a hint of something obscure flashing in her gaze.
The raging storm was slowly moving in this direction, leaving livestock dead and villages destroyed in its wake.
Are you planning to intervene?
Just then, a bright green bird landed on Xiluo's back.
"Don't forget how that witch died a thousand years ago; excessive involvement in the feuds between gods is destined to end badly."
Despite the Kingfisher's persuasion, Xiluo remained silent, staring intently at the direction the storm was heading.
"Xiluo, you spent nearly a thousand years escaping death; don't let that witch's sacrifice be in vain."
Having spent so much time with Xiluo, the Kingfisher naturally saw through her little scheme at a glance.
"Is this all because of Red Boy?"
"You've always been so easily swayed by emotions, but Red Boy doesn't have that witch's abilities."
"In the end, they were just short-lived species that only lasted a moment..."
Don't ruin the immortality you've worked so hard for because of them.
The Kingfisher's words revealed the rules governing interactions among deities.
The grudges between gods are far-reaching, and the slightest misstep could result in widespread devastation and floods.
In most cases, the gods will simply observe the conflicts between other gods with indifference and will never intervene.
In fact, this was also a major reason why none of the Gods of the Hundred Lands were willing to step forward in the last "Ghost God incident".
Even if all living beings are killed, even if the ecosystem is destroyed...
For the gods, it would take at most a few hundred years to recover to its original state.
Why should I offend my fellow beings who possess immortal life over such a trivial matter?
"If you really think highly of that Red Boy and intend to make him your priest, then bring him up the mountain!"
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Xiluo at all, the Kingfisher had no choice but to propose another solution.
Even if the Roaring Heaven Clan were the most domineering, they would never offend another god for the sake of a mere human.
As for the villages and people below the mountain?
The Kingfisher can only leave them to fend for themselves and find their own way out.
"He will never agree..."
After a long while, Xiluo finally spoke.
"He's even more naive than my sister, but he also works much harder..."
"He couldn't possibly stand by and watch a random storm ruin three years' worth of work."
"Besides, he helped me last time, so it's my turn to help him this time."
After speaking, Xiluo turned around and looked at the Kingfisher on her back, asking in a deep voice.
Did Grandma ask you to pass on any message this time?
