Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Autumn of the 68th year of Qiming.

The disaster brought by the meteorite brought a rare period of peace to the Nine Realms.

Everyone had a brush with death.

Whether they were ambitious schemers or survivors of the Nine Realms, none of them had the will to continue fighting to the death.

Almost every faction suffered losses to varying degrees from the disaster brought by the meteorite, and the work of post-disaster reconstruction kept each faction busy.

The most devout faith was born amidst the great disaster.

In the past few years, praying to gods and Buddhas has become the most popular thing for most people.

Among them, the Temple of the Five Elements True Lord is the most lively.

With Mu An's deliberate promotion, the newly established temples of the Five Elements True Lord and the Five Spirit Mysterious Maiden have spread throughout the Nine Regions.

Not only humans, but also demons and sea creatures participated in the offerings.

The thoughts of all beings also include those of beings other than humans.

Relying solely on a single human faith ultimately falls short in many ways.

……

Mu An was busy with various tasks, spending all day figuring out how to create a god while preserving Mu Ling'er's complete soul and memories.

Mu Ling'er, who is the prototype of the Five Spirits Mystic Maiden, doesn't seem to care much and continues to do her own thing every day.

To this day, Mu Ling'er has only been to the Five Spirits Immortal Realm once. After taking a look around, she said "It's spectacular" and returned to Qing'an Prefecture without hesitation, showing none of the excitement she once had.

Spectacular scenery, luxurious palaces, abundant spirituality, and the law of liberation...

These things, which would drive even terrestrial immortals mad, failed to attract Mu Ling'er.

On the contrary, she was more reluctant to leave the Mu family mansion in Qing'an Prefecture, which was not so luxurious.

No matter how magnificent the palace is, it can't compare to the little house she grew up in; no matter how abundant her spirituality is, it can't compare to the courtyard filled with memories.

Compared to the empty Five Spirits Wonderland, Mu Ling'er preferred the more lively Mu Manor.

Even though the Five Spirits Immortal Realm was a place Mu An had meticulously crafted for her to become a god, it couldn't compare to the small courtyard where Xiao He and Xiao Lü were by her side.

That being said, the dreamlike fairyland, the great supernatural power of shifting stars, and the changes over the years...

Mu Ling'er told Xiao He and Xiao Lü everything she thought they would want to hear.

On many idle afternoons, Mu Ling'er would bring some food and a few jugs of fine wine and sit in front of the grave for several hours.

……

The appearance of the meteorite made Mu Ling'er deeply aware of the impermanence of life. For five years, she did not travel far and instead wandered around Qing'an Prefecture all day.

Sometimes they make a big show of it, and sometimes they disguise themselves and chat with people on the street, or even stay in a town for a few days as ordinary citizens.

She would sit quietly in her study to work, or dress up as a rural woman and wander around the fields.

Over the past few decades, Qishan Road has seen a surge in displaced people, and many things have changed.

Compared to the original residents of Qishan Road, the displaced people faced a variety of problems.

They were ostracized, looked down upon, bullied, and even used as disposable materials.

These are some rumors that Mu Ling'er heard.

To verify these claims, she simply disguised herself as an ordinary citizen and began her incognito visit.

People dressed like ordinary folks inevitably encounter various problems.

To be looked down upon, despised, insulted, or even bullied and beaten...

Mu Ling'er also has her own way of handling this kind of thing.

She doesn't care if others look down on her or despise her, as long as they don't point fingers at her.

However, if someone insults her, Mu Ling'er will immediately retaliate, determined not to tolerate even the slightest insult.

When it comes to swearing, Mu Ling'er is no pushover either!

Insults can easily escalate into fights.

If the person she's arguing with challenges challenges her one-on-one, Mu Ling'er won't actually get angry; she'll just roll up her sleeves and beat them up.

But if the person arguing with her doesn't have any sense of sportsmanship and grabs weapons or brings a group of people, then things will get serious.

At times like this, Mu Ling'er would often stomp on them one by one, knocking them to the ground, and then tie them up one by one, pack them up, and send them to the county government office.

It's not necessary to actually make people follow the rules of the government. As long as it's not too outrageous, just take the person to the government office, give them a scolding and scare them a bit.

As the fights became more frequent, Mu Ling'er gradually discovered that most of the people she argued and fought with were ordinary people, especially refugees.

Compared to the people who have lived in Qing'an Prefecture for generations, the refugees who fled here face much more trouble.

Most of the troubles she encountered occurred in villages inhabited by displaced people.

The reasons for their arguments were varied and mostly trivial matters, leaving Mu Ling'er unsure how to comment on them.

They bumped into each other accidentally; the eggs broke, the shopping basket tipped over, and someone stole something while grocery shopping…

They can fight over the smallest things, and they're always suspicious.

Mu Ling'er lived in a village of refugees for a short time, and even when things went missing, they suspected her of stealing them...

In Mu Ling'er's eyes, these were all trivial matters, but for these refugees, they were of paramount importance.

It's common to side with relatives regardless of right or wrong. When someone discovers that their own family member has been beaten, it can easily escalate into a situation where half the village joins in.

After observing for a period of time, Mu Ling'er discovered that these refugees were very xenophobic and many of them suffered from persecution complex, always managing to turn small things into big troubles.

Mu Ling'er always felt a headache whenever she encountered such a situation.

Giving her a good scolding would be too much trouble and would make her seem petty, but not teaching her a lesson would be unreasonable and unfair to the person who was bullied.

If an ordinary person encountered this situation, they would definitely suffer greatly from such collective bullying by the entire village.

If someone is reckless and doesn't know their own strength, it's not impossible for them to kill someone.

When a whole village commits a crime, it is often the most troublesome situation.

Mu Ling'er felt that just because there were more people on the other side didn't mean they were right.

Things like this should definitely be kept to a minimum.

The principle of "the law does not punish the masses" must be applied on a case-by-case basis.

After experiencing life as an ordinary person in a less authentic way, Mu Ling'er realized that life is full of troubles.

Life in the Mu family was far removed from that of ordinary people; she had always lived in the clouds.

Having grown accustomed to life in the Mu family mansion, Mu Ling'er found it difficult to adjust to the life of an ordinary person.

They stayed in several villages in Qing'an Prefecture, as well as several villages inhabited by refugees.

Mu Ling'er has received care from the villagers, but she has also encountered their hostility. She has eaten eggs given to her by others, and she was almost slapped because of an egg...

She had seen the villagers living happily together, and she had also seen two villages engage in large-scale armed conflicts over the ownership of a stream.

They can be warm and friendly at times, and fierce and ruthless at others. Even their everyday family matters fluctuate between warmth and coldness.

In the end, Mu Ling'er came to the conclusion that the simplicity was real, the kindness was real, the trouble was real, and the pettiness over trivial matters was real.

All of these things are true; they are all part of the lives of ordinary people.

There are many good people and many bad people, and it is really, really difficult to handle them properly.

……

To be honest, these things were not what Mu Ling'er had initially expected.

In her mind, all the trouble she encountered should have come from those arrogant and domineering sons of wealthy families.

After the younger one was beaten, the older one came. In the end, she revealed her identity, conducted a thorough investigation, and staged a grand drama of eliminating a scourge for the people.
