Chapter 64 The God Who Incarnates as Natural Disasters

Fifteen minutes later, in the Li family's courtyard.

Li Boyang sat on a small stool, facing off against E'tu with a serious expression.

Chen Yun was busy in the kitchen, and Li Jingshu was obediently helping her.

With the storm approaching, Li Yu, as the head of the family, will definitely return home early, along with an uninvited guest, E Tu.

The food was enough for five people, enough to keep Chen Yun and Li Jingshu busy for a while.

"You're saying the slave-catching team from the Ghost Kingdom is only a few hundred miles away?"

"Is the hurricane we are seeing now actually an incarnation of one of the Five Gods—the Roaring Sky Clan?"

Although I already knew how bizarre this world was.

But when Li Boyang heard that the hurricane was actually the incarnation of a god, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

That big black dog imprisoned in the Ghost God Cliff Cave... seems to have mentioned something similar?
"What's so strange about this?"

"Not all gods enjoy contact with living beings, and not all gods are willing to expose their weaknesses in front of humans."

Glancing at the astonished Li Boyang, E'tu explained the facts to him.

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

“Ordinary gods might not be able to do this, but deities of the Five Directional Gods level are clearly not ordinary gods.”

Li Boyang nodded knowingly, and roughly understood what E'tu meant.

Before he knew it, Li Boyang even remembered the words of the big black dog in the Ghost God Cliff Cave.

One of the advanced states of a deity seems to be transforming oneself into a living natural phenomenon.
"Can I simply understand it as the Houtian clan manifesting in the form of a 'hurricane' in order to maintain their prestige in front of their believers?"

"After all, no matter how terrifying a physical body may be, it can't compare to a real natural disaster."

"Wait, did the Houtian clan really choose to maintain their current 'hurricane' state voluntarily?"

Upon hearing this, E'tu tilted its head slightly.

He always felt that Li Boyang's understanding seemed to be flawed, but he didn't know how to refute him.

"As long as you can understand it, that's fine."

"Since the Houtian clan has shown itself, it means that it has been thoroughly enraged."

"I'd like you to do a divination to see if the old woman is alive or dead."

When he said this, E'tu made no attempt to hide the worry on his face, a stark contrast to his usual carefree demeanor.

"What if my divination results in me still being alive?"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Boyang asked this question in return.

Are you planning to go and save her?

"To be an enemy of a god who can manifest as natural disasters?"

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

He simply couldn't understand where that old witch who taught children to read in the local temple got the audacity to fight against an army of ten thousand.

However, looking at the Roaring Sky Clan manifesting its hurricane and thunderstorm form...

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

Putting everything else aside, Li Boyang now has serious doubts.

The old woman had actually realized that he was secretly learning, which is why she started teaching him from the simplest characters again.

"She saved my life, and she also taught me how to gradually master my own talents and abilities."

Without the slightest hesitation, E'tu answered decisively.

"In your human terms, she is both my savior and my second parent."

"Whether she is dead or alive, I am ready to be an enemy of the Houtian Clan."

Words like "overestimating one's abilities" and "ignoring one's own limitations" are no longer sufficient to describe E'tu at this moment.

After all, the object of his declaration of war was a genuine god who could manifest as natural disasters.

But no one doubts the determination shown by E'tu.

Just as an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot, neither the ant nor the mantis will ever consider a way out.

"A fit of rage" or "the courage of a common man" are never derogatory terms in this context.

"Since you've put it that way, what else can I say?"

After staring at the rabbit for a long time, Li Boyang finally sighed helplessly.

“You are my friend, and she is at least half my teacher. How could I possibly stand idly by?”

Immediately understanding Li Boyang's implied meaning, E'tu looked at him with both surprise and astonishment.

Yunmeng Mountain, Feilai Peak, Mountain God Temple.

"The Roaring Sky Clan?"

Standing at the highest point of Ghost God Cliff.

Xi Luo raised her eyes and looked into the distance, a hint of something obscure flashing in her eyes.

The raging storm was slowly moving in this direction, leaving livestock dead and villages destroyed in its wake.

Are you planning to intervene?

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

"Don't forget how that witch died a thousand years ago. Getting too involved in the feuds between gods will never end well."

Despite the kingfisher's persuasion, Xi Luo remained silent, staring intently at the direction the storm was heading.

"Xi Luo, you spent nearly a thousand years to escape death, don't let that witch's sacrifice be in vain."

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

"Is this all for that 'Red Boy'?"

“You’ve always been so easily swayed by emotions, but ‘Red Boy’ doesn’t have that witch’s abilities.”

"In the end, they were just short-lived species that only lasted for a fleeting moment..."

"Don't ruin the longevity you've worked so hard for because of them."

The kingfisher's words revealed the rules governing interactions among deities.

The grudges and conflicts between gods are far-reaching.

The slightest misstep could result in widespread devastation and flooding.

In most cases, the gods will simply observe the feuds between other gods with indifference and will never intervene.

In fact, this was also a major reason why none of the hundred gods were willing to step forward in the last "ghost and god incident".

Even if all living beings are killed, even if the ecosystem is destroyed...

For the gods, it would take at most a few hundred years to recover to its original state.

Why should I offend my fellow beings who possess immortal life for such a trivial matter?
"If you really think highly of that 'Red Boy' and intend to make him your priest, then bring him up the mountain!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Xiluo at all, the kingfisher had no choice but to propose another solution.

Even if the Houtian clan were the most domineering, they would never offend another god for the sake of a mere human.

As for the villages and people below the mountain?

The kingfisher can only leave them to fend for themselves and find their own way out.

"He will not agree..."

After a long while, Xi Luo finally spoke.

"He's even more naive than my sister, but he also works much harder..."

"He couldn't possibly just stand by and watch a random storm ruin his three years of 'achievements'."

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

After speaking, Xi Luo turned around and looked at the kingfisher on her back, asking in a deep voice.

Did Grandma ask you to deliver a message this time?
