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

Chapter 122 The Sky-Blotting Divine Shadow Reappears

Lady Black Snake and the seven demons of Seven Fierce Mountains are all dead.

Gu Yuexi instructed, "Return the people captured by the black bear spirit to their homes, and also process this giant snake and the bodies of the seven black bear spirits. These are all good things; distribute them to the people at the foot of the mountain. Eating them will strengthen their bodies."

"Disciple obeys!"

The Fifth Brother and the Rabbit Demon Monkey King released all the mortals captured by the Black Bear Spirit and sent them home one by one. The terrified people were finally reunited with their families after being rescued.

They divided the bodies of the giant snake and the seven black bear spirits into small pieces and sent them to the people of Hetang Village and eight villages at the foot of Qihuang Mountain.

Gu Yuexi stood in mid-air. The Black Serpent Lady's blood mist was extremely poisonous, instantly killing all the plants and trees in the sixteen prefectures of the Northwest.

The people who inhaled the blood mist also developed symptoms of serious illness.

She absorbed all the blood mist into her body, intending to refine it when she returned to the Golden Saint Divine Palace of Seven Emperors Mountain. At first, she planned to dispel the blood mist, but then she thought that this was not a good idea, as the dispelled blood mist would still harm living beings.

Therefore, it was decided to absorb and refine it.

"Your Majesty, Lady Black Serpent just swallowed the sky," the Monkey King warned.

"I understand."

Before Lady Black Snake died, all the sky she devoured was absorbed by the demon core. Once the energy of the demon core is exhausted, the sky inside the demon core can be released.

She needed to absorb the blood mist, so she could no longer absorb the pure demonic power from the demon core.

She put the demon core into the system resource library to check its exchange value.

[Nine-thousand-year-old demon core: 500000 faith points]

Five hundred thousand faith points?

Her cultivation level can be raised by one realm!
Gu Yuexi was overjoyed.

"Exchange, exchange. Oh, and don't forget to restore the sky that Lady Black Serpent swallowed."

[The nine-thousand-year-old demon core has been exchanged for faith power.]

[Host has accumulated 1088888 Faith Points]

One million and eighty thousand!

"No wonder it's the demon core from a nearly ten-thousand-year-old demon." Gu Yuexi exclaimed.

Once she resolves her current troubles.

She went to improve her cultivation!
She spread her hands and used her dantian to gather the blood mist. The blood mist thinned layer by layer, and the surrounding cultivation changed from blood red to pitch black.

The people were suffering terribly.

In these three years, war, drought, and strange diseases have not spared them; calamities have tormented every vibrant life.

The people sat at home waiting to die.

It is said that a Golden Saintess has appeared in Qihuang Mountain. She is incredibly powerful and has boundless magical abilities. She is very efficacious. If it weren't for the blood mist causing strange illnesses among the people, they would definitely have gone to Qihuang Mountain for help without hesitation. Unfortunately, they are powerless to help now.

They could only endure the torment of the strange disease.

And they also have to watch their loved ones suffer.

He Jinzong, Luo Yousong, and others arrived at Qihuang Mountain early to offer incense and seek help, but the Golden Saint Goddess did not respond, and they were extremely anxious.

Little did they know, Gu Yuexi had already planned to resolve the trouble they were facing.

At this moment, she is absorbing and refining the blood mist.

When the people woke up, they found that the blood mist had thinned and the stench in the air had disappeared.

"Great! The blood mist is thinning. We're saved."

"Was yesterday an accident?"

"I think it's the work of a demon."

"That makes sense, but why isn't it showing its power today?"

"That goes without saying, it must be controlled by something."

"The Golden Saintess! It must be the Golden Saintess!" Everyone was discussing the cause and effect and the truth behind yesterday's strange events.

After seven days and seven nights, Gu Yuexi finally finished consuming and refining the blood mist.

She felt a splitting pain in her dantian and her cultivation was loosening. She was overjoyed, thinking that she would be able to level up three times soon.

She took out the remaining half of the dragon demon core and used it to restore the vitality of the Golden Saint Mountain Range.

Lady Black Snake is truly despicable.

She had painstakingly revived the vegetation in the sixteen counties of the Northwest, only to have it destroyed again.

Half a dragon demon core revived the life force of the Golden Saint Mountain Range.

The vegetation on the Jinsheng Mountain range withered and died overnight, only to spring back to life just as quickly as a dream.

This move shocked countless monsters in the Golden Saint Mountain Range!
Most of the monsters in the Golden Saint Mountain range returned after the drought ended. The name of the Golden Saint Goddess was renowned. It was said that she was the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain range, who awoke in the third year of the drought to save people from suffering and solve the drought problem for all living beings, thus reviving the life of the drought-stricken land.

The mountain demons all say she is incredibly powerful and has boundless magical abilities. She can absorb the sun's heat to cultivate and can summon a magical rain with a wave of her hand. I didn't believe it at first, but now I've truly witnessed it.

Life returned to the Jin Sheng Mountains, daylight returned, and people were freed from panic.

"It's back to normal! Everything is back to normal!"

He Jinzong, Luo Yousong, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

They went up the mountain early to seek help from the Golden Saint Goddess, and then rested at a villager's house because of the descending blood mist. They were very anxious because they saw that the blood mist was poisonous, and many people in the village fell ill.

"It seems that Her Majesty already knows our demands, and she has resolved the Blood Mist."

"It is likely that soon the plants in the sixteen counties of the northwest will recover, and the strange disease on the people will also disappear."

This blood mist contains some of the Black Serpent Lady's toxins. It can not only blot out the sky and shroud the world in a thick, blood-red fog, but also release snake venom that can cause mortals to fall seriously ill and die. If low-level demons absorb it, it will prevent them from refining their spiritual energy, which will greatly hinder their cultivation.

Having dealt with the blood mist, she began to unleash spiritual rain.

With her current cultivation level, she can only take care of the entire Xiping County. If she wants to revive the plants in the sixteen prefectures of the Northwest, she can only condense a phantom image to solve the problem.

"Rumble--"

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and in an instant, a torrential downpour began. Raindrops pounded on the ground, splashing water onto the plants, which trembled slightly and began to revive from the roots.

These rainwaters were imbued with three levels of spiritual water.

It can not only quickly revive plants, but also relieve most ailments in ordinary people.

Someone got soaked in the rain, and their strange illness disappeared instantly. They immediately shared this good news with the people nearby.

The word spread quickly, and everyone came out to get soaked in the rain.

Gu Yuexi conjured a phantom image and traveled to various counties and prefectures.

In the clear blue sky, a figure appeared out of thin air, so sacred and inviolable that she blotted out the sun and summoned a fierce wind and a divine rain.

"Heaven... there are gods in heaven!"

With the blood mist gone, the sky returned to its original state when the Black Serpent Lady's demon core was exchanged, and today the sunlight is bright and the vision is clear.

The figures of the gods in the sky were extremely clear, and the people couldn't help but worship and kneel down.

"It's true, there really are gods in this world!"

They had already heard the rumors.

Legend has it that before the drought, people in a certain county saw a divine figure, who was so powerful that she blotted out the sky and was sacred and inviolable. She sent down divine rain and saved the dying people.

The truth of this rumor is unknown. All that is known is that He Jinzong, the magistrate of Xiping County, later established a grand ceremony to worship a deity called Jin Sheng Niangniang at Qihuang Mountain.

It is said that she was as tall as the sky, as majestic as a mountain, and her voice was like the sound of Brahma. She saved people from suffering and brought salvation to all beings. She possessed boundless magical power and infinite supernatural abilities. During the sacrificial ceremony, she also bestowed fine wine and delicacies upon the people.

This made a group of people who had never witnessed a miracle quite yearn for it.

However, they are now fortunate enough to witness the figures of gods.

One by one, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly.
