Chapter 305: Chapter 148 Planting the Sun and Moon _1
As Shen Yuan finished speaking, Three-field Yuu felt as if the mountain beneath her feet quivered slightly.
The fatigue from the previous journey up the mountain quickly dissipated. Standing on this mountain, Three-field Yuu felt as energized as if she was soaking in a hot spring, an endless stream of energy gushed forth from within her body.
Three-field Yuu even had an illusion that she was able to lift the massive mountain beneath her feet.
However, the feeling was fleeting. Three-field Yuu subconsciously waved her arm. Besides feeling the fatigue fade away, she didn’t notice any other changes from before.
Three-field Yuu curiously gazed at Shen Yuan with wide, bright eyes.
“Mountain God?”
The young Three-field Yuu naturally had a hard time believing what Shen Yuan had said, that she had become the Mountain God of the high peak.
She merely asked eagerly:
“Has Lord Mountain God agreed to stop the rituals?”
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
His decision to intervene on behalf of Three-field Yuu was partially driven by sympathy, but also by a touch of curiosity and experimentation.
The words he’d spoken were backed by the Gods Purging Divine Power’s Imperial Edict method.
From his understanding, even in the Great Yin realm, appointing a Heavenly Court Canonical God was as easy as uttering a phrase.
Even though the Incense Offering Divinity Path was not thriving in this world, it should have been simple to appoint a child as the Mountain God.
But after the appointment, he discovered that Three-field Yuu’s soul was indeed connected with the mountain beneath her feet. Her destiny as a Mountain God could rightfully be called the God of the Mountains.
Yet, as the Mountain God of this place, Three-field Yuu did not receive the enhancement from the mountain and could not wield the power a Mountain God should have.
Aside from the characteristic of inexhaustible energy while standing on a mountain, Three-field Yuu had only slightly increased strength, making her nearly indistinguishable from ordinary people.
Under such circumstances, even a small monster at the Essence Refining Stage could easily kill her. She was clearly not worthy of the title “Mountain God”.
A flash of surprise flickered in Shen Yuan’s eyes.
He had a vague sense that the problem might be related to the disruption of the world’s natural order through the Spider Demon substituting the Great Sun.
If he could not find the key to this issue, it would undoubtedly affect his future plans for resolving the crisis.
After a moment’s thought, Shen Yuan turned his gaze back to the hopeful child and casually said:
“You’re a Mountain God now. If you guys don’t want to perform the Mountain God rituals, no one can force you.”
After finishing his words, Shen Yuan turned and walked towards the cabin he’d previously built. He casually picked up a tool he’d previously crafted and headed towards the large tree.
Three-field Yuu’s face turned red. Excited, she completely ignored the first part and kept repeating:
“The Lord Mountain God said no more rituals! When I go back, I must tell everyone in the village!”
Three-field Yuu wanted to turn around and rush home immediately, but she was filled with curiosity looking at Shen Yuan’s departing figure.
Taking quick, short steps to catch up with Shen Yuan, Three-field Yuu asked eagerly:
“Lord Mountain God, are you going farming?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan’s mouth twitched. He couldn’t help but look at his own appearance.
What he was holding was a magic artifact made from demon remains used to manipulate the energy lines of the earth.
However, from its exterior, this artifact greatly resembled a common hoe used for farming. Coupled with the coarse cloth outfit he’d worn, which had been damaged during the previous battle, Shen Yuan did indeed look a bit like a farmer.
After Shen Yuan killed the demon on the mountain days ago, he’d chosen to stay on this mountain to execute his plans.
The Zhuming Chengye and Suimu Tianhan in Shen Yuan’s possession contained the truth of the sun and the moon. However, they could never be compared to the true sun and moon.
To rely solely on these artifacts to replace the sun and moon and restore the order of this world was simply a foolish dream.
So, Shen Yuan conceived another method – regulating the earth’s energy lines, leveraging the Primal Chaos Energy to nurture the true meaning of the sun and the moon, and using the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power as an aid until the actual sun and moon took shape.
This process would inevitably be extremely lengthy, certainly not comparable to the previous Earth Gate Trial where he assimilated the Demon Spawn. Thus, Shen Yuan had prepared himself for a test of endurance.
The construction of the cabin and the creation of the magic artifact to align the earth’s energy were all part of the plan. Little did he expect, he’d be mistaken by the child as going farming.
Suppressing his twitching lips, Shen Yuan replied unwillingly:
“I am indeed going farming.”
“Wow! Even Lord Mountain God has to farm?”
Three-field Yuu’s eyes widened in surprise as she couldn’t help but ask:
“Does Lord Mountain God turn sand and stones into cornmeal?”
“After farming, does Lord Mountain God have to offer the harvest to other Mountain Gods?”
“What exactly is Lord Mountain God planting, then?”
Without the worry of the Mountain Gods’ rituals, Three-field Yuu unleashed a barrage of curious questions like a wave of thousands of ‘whys,’ constantly asking Shen Yuan about the most bizarre subjects.
Shen Yuan’s lips twitched, but he chose not to scold Three-field Yuu, casually replying instead:
“I don’t eat cornmeal.”
“I don’t offer to other Mountain Gods.”
During the conversation, Shen Yuan and Three-field Yuu had already reached the base of the God Tree of the Mountain.
As they got closer to the God Tree of the Mountain, Three-field Yuu suddenly noticed the area around the tree had been well-tended, with several plots of land all ready for cultivation.
However, there were no crops in these fields. Instead, they were marked with patterns resembling the layout of a mountain range.
