In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 108 Faith Power Can Directly Enhance Cultivation Level
Gu Yuexi used her spiritual power to lift up the people kneeling on the ground.

"The toad spirit is dead. Once I restore life to Xiahe Town, you won't have to worry about starving or dying of thirst."

Li Sheng, tears streaming down his face, said with trembling lips, "This is all thanks to the Empress's grace. The Empress is so compassionate and merciful that she has saved the people from suffering. The people of Xiahe Town will forever remember the Empress's kindness and will never forget it for a thousand years or even a hundred years."

Seeing that some of the people were still wearing tattered animal skins, Gu Yuexi asked, "Xiaohe Town is surrounded by mountains and is located in a remote place. Haven't you thought about going outside to find a way to survive?"

If the people of Xiahe Town were willing to go out, they would surely find that the outside world is different from Xiahe Town. The drought has ended, life is reviving, and there is no longer any toad demon oppressing them.

They will find a new way to survive.

The people stammered, unsure of where to begin, their faces filled with sorrow.

"What unspeakable difficulties do you have?"

Gu Yuexi knew that the townspeople must have their own difficulties in not going out.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Sheng, the garrison commander, spoke.

“Your Majesty, our town is surrounded by mountains, which are full of poisonous creatures and miasma. The people of this town have always been isolated from the world, relying on wild animals from Yunmi Mountain for their own sustenance for generations. Few of the people have ever left Xiahe Town.”

"Firstly, no one knows the way. Secondly, the drought has made the soil fragile and prone to collapse. If you're not careful, you can be buried in sand and gravel. Most of the people who try to get out die on the way."

"The people could not break through the shackles of the mountains, so they simply gave up looking for a way to survive and resigned themselves to death. After the drought, a toad spirit came to Yunmi Mountain. He forced us to trade our flesh and blood for grain with him, so the people had even less chance to get out."

There are hundreds of high mountains outside Xiahe Town, and their precipitous peaks and cliffs are comparable to those of the Jinsheng Mountain Range. Even though there are not as many evil spirits here, the rugged mountains can still devour people.

Humanity is weak and unable to overcome these dangers.

"I understand. You may all go down the mountain. I will use my divine powers to send down spiritual rain to revive the plants within a thousand miles."

Gu Yuexi gave them a bag of grain seeds.

“These grain seeds are ones you don’t have here. They have high yields and a wide variety. When you go back, each household will get a little, so you won’t go hungry next year.”

"what!"

The people shouted, overjoyed and delighted.

The goddess was truly compassionate and merciful. First, she gave them food to get through the winter, and later she gave them seeds of immortality. The people were overjoyed.

He then gave Li Sheng a booklet related to planting and animal husbandry.

"The above contains the best planting methods for these grains, as well as the wonderful techniques for raising livestock. I, Your Majesty, bestow it upon you. As long as you master the essence of it, you will never go hungry again in the future."

The people immediately kowtowed: "Thank you for your grace, Holy Mother Jin Sheng! We are deeply grateful!"

Gu Yuexi raised her hand and waved gently through the water mirror.

A powerful yet gentle gale swept in, causing the people to squint and cover their eyes. They quickly raised their sleeves to shield their faces, their features flying wildly in the wind. When the gale subsided, they lowered their sleeves.

"oops!"

"W-w-w-this...isn't this the town? Weren't we in Yunmi Mountain? How did we end up back in town in the blink of an eye!"

"This is amazing! Could it be that Her Majesty sent us to town?"

"That's quite possible. She told us to go back, but suddenly a strong wind blew up, so strong that I couldn't open my eyes. When I opened my eyes, oh my god! We were already in town. We didn't even have to walk for several hours."

Everyone wore expressions of disbelief and shock.

"The Golden Saintess is indeed incredibly powerful!" "Thank you, Your Majesty, for escorting us home!"

The people knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, their heads bowed incessantly, expressing their gratitude to the Golden Saint Goddess.

Standing on high ground, Li Sheng said loudly, "Fellow villagers, the Goddess has bestowed food and seeds upon us. Come to the garrison headquarters later, and I will have them distributed so you can take them back with you."

"Yes, sir!"

The crowd cheered and jumped for joy again.

Li Xiuhe stood to the side, a knowing smile on her face.

The suffering of the people is finally coming to an end.

Thanks to the Golden Saintess!
She is truly a blessing to all people!
[Host has accumulated 100000 Faith Points]

Gu Yuexi asked the system, "Zero One, is there any way to make life better for the people of Xiahe Town? Xiahe Town is located in a remote mountain area, surrounded by towering mountains. It is dark, damp, and full of poisonous miasma, making it unsuitable for human habitation."

"But they probably won't want to leave their homeland."

For ordinary people in this era, no one wants to leave their hometown.

Even if a better life lies ahead.

This is where their ancestors lived.

If the host can't persuade them to leave, then let the towering mountains be far away from Xiahe Town.

Gu Yuexi's eyes lit up: "You mean...moving mountains!!"

Suddenly she whispered, "With my current cultivation level, I can only remove one mountain at most. There seem to be hundreds of mountains of all sizes here. To remove all of them, I would need at least the late Golden Core stage cultivation level."

She is currently only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Between the Golden Core cultivation level and the late Foundation Establishment stage, and the early to mid-Golden Core stage...

In the world of cultivation, it would take at least several hundred years of practice.

[The system's resource library is overflowing with cultivation resources. Not only can it upgrade the level of the cultivation technique, but it can also cause a surge in cultivation level. Upgrading one level in cultivation requires 500,000 faith points, and the host only has 100,000 cultivation points. The host can upgrade the cultivation technique first. Combined with the vast spiritual power within the host's body, it is enough to move hundreds of mountains. The host can then return to the Divine Palace to replenish spiritual energy.]

Gu Yuexi suddenly seized on a few key words: "Wait! Zero One, what did you say? Faith power can directly increase cultivation level? For example, I'm currently in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and with just 500,000 faith power, I can advance a small rank to the late-Foundation Establishment stage. With a little more cultivation, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation will all be no problem?"

The system seemed puzzled: "[Host, don't you know? When I bound myself to you, I said the system could fulfill all your needs, including immortality. Even immortality is possible, but something as trivial as increasing cultivation level is a piece of cake for the system.]"

[As long as the host obtains enough faith power]

Gu Yuexi was overjoyed upon hearing this: "So, in the future, I won't need to cultivate so diligently. As long as I obtain enough faith power, I can directly upgrade the level of the cultivation technique I'm practicing to perfection and use it for myself. Moreover, I can advance my cultivation level for every 500,000 faith power?"

[That's good. Didn't the host know that before?]

Upon suddenly learning this huge surprise, Gu Yuexi took a deep breath. She was overjoyed: "This... I really didn't know. Lingyi, why didn't you tell me?"

[The host didn't seem to ask.]

[I always thought the host was very smart and could complete the task without much prompting, so I didn't explain these things to the host in detail.]

"But it's not too late to learn this news now." Gu Yuexi felt that her motivation to gain faith power was even stronger.
