Chapter 339 Dragon-Slaying Formation, Level 1
Inside the well, a dense power of faith surrounded Gu Yuchuan, causing his cultivation to slowly increase. For the gods of faith, the power of faith is the source of all their wonders. Whether it is cultivation, supernatural powers, or even extending one's lifespan, it can all be done through this power of faith.
However, Gu Yuchuan was still heartbroken. He felt he had let down the people of Zoujia Village. They trusted him so much, believed in him so devoutly, but he could do nothing to help them. He was even living off their faith. He felt guilty and his inner demons were constantly rising. He felt he had to do something.
After thinking it over, he still went out. Logically speaking, it is difficult for minor deities like them to leave their own territory, except for one thing: to go see their superior god. Gu Yuchuan was going to Xuanxiao Town to pay his respects to the City God, who was his direct superior. The land gods and mountain gods of the nearby villages were all under his jurisdiction.
This bustling town is the only large town in the vicinity. The city god here is also a Nascent Soul stage expert. However, in this world with immortals and gods, the Nascent Soul stage is just an ant. Only by advancing further and becoming a Returning Void Earth Immortal can one be considered to have truly entered the inner sanctum and reached the second realm of cultivation, the Nascent Soul stage. In front of a true great power, one is just like an ordinary cultivator.
He waited at the City God Temple for two hours, but the City God didn't appear. Clearly, the other party didn't want to see him. However, he didn't leave. He pretended to be someone who didn't understand these unspoken meanings. He really needed to do something, otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease. The Left Protector of the City God Temple had already added spiritual tea to his cup three times. This frequent addition of tea was a sign that he was being asked to leave, but he pretended not to understand and continued to wait there.
He even told the Left Protector that he wasn't in a hurry and could come to see the City God after he finished his business.
There was no other way, so the City God still came to see him. After all, he was a direct subordinate. Gu Yuchuan really wanted to see him. He didn't have anything else important to say, so he still had to see him. This was the restriction that the divine path placed on the City God. If they were cultivators of the immortal path, a Foundation Establishment cultivator would never be able to see a Nascent Soul stage expert, even if he waited until he died.
When the City God of the City came out, his expression was not good. Someone of his stature actually knew what Gu Yuchuan had come for and what he didn't want to see. Gu Yuchuan was a very dignified-looking man who gave people a sense of authority without anger.
"Well Dragon King, why are you here looking for me instead of managing your own divine realm properly?"
Gu Yuchuan quickly bowed, as the pressure and anger of a Nascent Soul cultivator were beyond its ability to withstand.
"My God, please calm your anger and allow me to report. It is true that my Zoujia Village is suffering from a severe drought, which has affected their survival. My God, no matter what the mistake was, it has been a year of drought. They cannot survive. Please allow me to send some rain for them, even just a little bit. They really cannot survive."
A tremendous pressure suddenly appeared around the City God: "Insolence! Are you trying to rebel? Not letting them receive the flood is an imperial edict issued by the capital. Even I cannot change it. I advise you to obediently obey the edict. You are a lowly deity. Don't think so much. We are the royal deities, the gods of incense offerings, not those compassionate, innate gods or gods of law. You are merely an appendage of humanity, a dog of humanity. Do you understand?"
Gu Yuchuan's face turned deathly pale. He wanted to say something, but the City God had already stood up, giving him no chance to speak: "Get out of here. Don't come to the City God Temple unless it's something important. I'm too busy to see you."
Gu Yuchuan returned to his well, dejected and lost, unsure of what else he could do.
However, he felt that it shouldn't be like this. Gods should have compassion and use their authority to help living beings live better lives, instead of becoming some kind of humane dog. How could that be a god? But these acquired gods are in such a position. They are enfeoffed as gods because of the destiny of humanity. How could they truly break free from the limitations of the destiny of humanity? It's simply impossible.
Gu Yuchuan paced back and forth in the well, unsure of what else he could do.
Outside, Qionghua stood beside the Heavenly Roc Demon Emperor. Looking at the Great King within the formation, she said with a troubled expression, "Your Majesty, my cultivation is not high enough to see the wonders of this formation. Why hasn't the Great King remembered who he is? If this continues, will the Great King be able to break free from the formation?"
She was terrified. Although she had only known Gu Yuchuan for a short time, he had become a turning point in her life, and she wanted to seize this opportunity. She didn't want to go back to the way things were before.
The Heavenly Roc Demon Emperor saw through it all: "Don't worry, this first layer of formation is mainly for training the mind, it has nothing to do with strength. Your king's state of mind is very good, I believe he will be able to see through it. You should also have faith in him. You have just met your king, you don't know how powerful a cultivator he is. You will find out slowly."
Qionghua nodded, her eyes shining with hope, and she prayed incessantly that her king would break out of the formation unharmed. Her gaze remained fixed on the formation.
The human race was also taking it very seriously. After all, in their eyes, what Gu Yuchuan was doing was the direction to break the formation. Although there had been no action yet, the direction was correct, and if this continued, there was indeed a possibility of breaking the formation.
However, they were not afraid. This formation had two layers: one for mental state and the other for combat strength. Even if the formation was broken, they still had the combined attack technique of the Dragon Slayer Sword, which would definitely not allow this evil dragon to live.
At this moment, Gu Yuchuan returned to the well. He didn't want to cultivate, since the cultivation of faith in gods after birth had little to do with effort; it still depended on the power of faith. He decided to lie down for a while.
But he had just fallen asleep when he heard a huge noise from the shore. What had happened?
He went up and saw that the villagers had started their sacrifice again. Something was wrong. Sacrifices were usually held in the morning, and only when worshipping wild gods would they be held at night. Although he was weak, he was still a god appointed by humanity. Why would they choose to perform the sacrifice at this time? What had happened?
He used his divine sense to look over, but everything went black. They had actually kidnapped a boy and a girl—it was utterly outrageous! Only evil gods would be attracted to such things. If an evil god ate a boy and a girl, their cultivation would naturally increase. But he was a righteous god. He couldn't do that! However, the sacrifice had already begun. Gu Yuchuan sighed deeply, knowing there was nothing he could do.
