Chapter 64: The Deity Who Manifests as a Natural Disaster

A quarter of an hour later, in the Li family courtyard.

Li Boyang sat on a small stool, confronting the E-Rabbit with a serious expression.

Chen Yun was busy in the kitchen nearby, and Li Jingshu was also helping her out quite obediently.

With the storm about to strike, Li Yu, as the head of the household, would certainly return home early, and then there was the uninvited E-Rabbit.

The appetite of five people in total would be enough to keep Chen Yun and Li Jingshu busy for a while.

"You’re saying the slave-hunting army of the Guifang Kingdom is just a few hundred miles away?"

"And this hurricane we see now is actually the avatar of one of the Five Directional Gods—the Howling Heaven Clan?"

Although he had long known the bizarre nature of this world.

When Li Boyang actually heard that the hurricane was the avatar of a deity, he still couldn't help but widen his eyes.

That large black dog imprisoned in the Ghost God Cliff cave... seemed to have mentioned a similar existence?

"What’s so strange about that?"

"Not all deities like to interact with living beings, and even fewer are willing to expose their weaknesses in front of humans."

Glancing at the fussing Li Boyang, the E-Rabbit enlightened him.

"A tangible body means tangible weaknesses, while an intangible body means a transcendent status..."

"Ordinary deities might not be able to achieve this, but a deity at the level of the Five Directional Gods is clearly not an ordinary deity."

Nodding in realization, Li Boyang roughly understood what the E-Rabbit meant.

Unknowingly, Li Boyang even recalled the words of that large black dog in the Ghost God Cliff cave.

One of the advanced states of a deity, it seems, is to manifest oneself as a living natural phenomenon?

"Can I simply understand it as the Howling Heaven Clan manifesting in the form of a 'hurricane' just to maintain his status in front of believers?"

"After all, no matter how terrifying a tangible body is, it cannot compare to a true natural disaster."

"Wait, is the Howling Heaven Clan really willing to maintain this 'hurricane' state?"

Hearing this, the E-Rabbit couldn't help but tilt his head.

He always felt that there was something wrong with Li Boyang's understanding, yet he didn't know how to refute it.

"Anyway, it’s enough that you understand."

"Since the Howling Heaven Clan has appeared, it means he has been thoroughly enraged."

"I would like to ask you to divine whether the old granny is dead or alive right now."

When saying this, the E-Rabbit did not hide the worry on his face, which was completely different from the carefree attitude he usually displayed.

"What if my divination result is that she is still alive?"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Boyang asked back.

"Are you planning to save her?"

"To make an enemy of a deity who can manifest as a natural disaster?"

To be honest, when he learned from the E-Rabbit that the old granny had actually taken the initiative to stop the Guifang Kingdom's slave-hunting army, Li Boyang was shocked.

He simply couldn't understand where that old witch, who taught children to read at the Tudimiao, found the courage to confront an army of ten thousand.

However, looking at the Howling Heaven Clan manifesting in the form of a hurricane and thunderstorm.

Li Boyang felt as if he had never truly known that old granny.

If nothing else, Li Boyang now seriously suspected.

That the old granny had actually noticed him secretly learning from the start, which was why she began teaching from the simplest characters again.

"She saved my life, and she was the one who taught me to gradually master my own talents and abilities."

Without the slightest hesitation, the E-Rabbit answered decisively.

"If I were to use your human words, she is both my savior and my second parent."

"Regardless of whether she is dead or alive, I have already prepared myself to be an enemy of the Howling Heaven Clan."

Words like overestimating one's capabilities or being ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth could no longer describe the E-Rabbit at this moment.

After all, the target he was declaring war on was a genuine deity capable of manifesting as a natural disaster.

But no one would doubt the determination the E-Rabbit displayed.

Just like when a mayfly shakes a tree or a mantis blocks a chariot, the mayfly and the mantis would never consider any retreat.

A burst of rage, the courage of a common man.

In this context, these were never derogatory terms.

"Since you've said so, what else can I say?"

Staring at the E-Rabbit for a long time, Li Boyang finally sighed helplessly.

"You are my friend, and she is at least half a teacher to me, so how could I possibly stand by and watch?"

Catching the implication in Li Boyang's words immediately, the E-Rabbit looked at him with both astonishment and surprise.

Cloud Dream Mountain, Flying Peak, Mountain God Temple.

"The Howling Heaven Clan?"

Standing at the highest point of Ghost God Cliff.

Xi Luo looked into the distance, a hint of obscure and difficult-to-understand meaning flashing in her eyes.

The surging storm was slowly moving in this direction, leaving no livestock and destroying every village in its path.

"Do you intend to intervene?"

Just then, a bright green bird landed on Xi Luo's shoulder.

"Don't forget how that witch from a thousand years ago died; excessive intervention in the grievances between deities is destined to have no good ending."

Facing the kingfisher's persuasion, Xi Luo only stared at the direction the storm was moving without saying a word.

"Xi Luo, it took you nearly a thousand years to escape death, do not let the witch's sacrifice go to waste."

Having spent so much time with Xi Luo, the kingfisher naturally saw through her little thoughts at a glance.

"This time it's for that 'Red Boy', right?"

"You have always been prone to being emotional, but 'Red Boy' does not have the abilities of that witch."

"In the end, they are all just short-lived species that vanish in an instant..."

"Do not ruin the long life you worked so hard to obtain for their sake."

The kingfisher's words revealed the rules of conduct among deities.

The grievances between deities involve too much.

A moment of carelessness could lead to the result of scorched earth for thousands of miles or the drowning of the masses.

In the vast majority of cases, deities only coldly watch the grievances between other deities and will never intervene.

In fact, this was also an important reason why none of the Hundred Earth Deities were willing to step forward during the last "Ghost God Incident".

Even if all living beings were killed, even if the ecology was destroyed...

For a deity, it would recover as before in at most a few hundred years.

Why should one provoke other peers with immortal lives for such a trivial matter?

"If you really think highly of that 'Red Boy' and are prepared to make him your priest, then bring him up the mountain!"

Seeing that she could not persuade Xi Luo at all, the kingfisher had no choice but to offer another solution.

No matter how overbearing the Howling Heaven Clan is, he would never offend another deity for the sake of a mere human.

As for the villages and humans at the foot of the mountain?

The kingfisher could only let them pray for their own blessings and find their own way out.

"He will not agree..."

After a long while, Xi Luo finally spoke.

"He is even more naive than my sister, yet he is also more hardworking..."

"It is impossible for him to watch a bizarre storm destroy his three years of 'achievements'."

"Besides, he helped me last time, so it is my turn to help him this time."

After speaking, Xi Luo looked back at the kingfisher on her shoulder and asked in a deep voice.

"Did Granny ask you to bring any message this time?"
