The three of them seemed to have become God's messengers - this title might not be accurate, but this was indeed their identity in the eyes of the public, and they had indeed established a connection with Ling Yi.
When Lingyi looked at them, they also looked up at the sky thoughtfully.
But besides them, there are two other connections.
One is a giant tree of flesh and blood overlooking the city, and the other is a flock of crows perched on the tree.
Lingyi decided to go and see what the condition of these two was first. After all, if they grew crooked, they would have to be removed or corrected as soon as possible.
When they arrived under the giant tree of flesh and blood, Lingyi and Patchouli's most intuitive feeling was that the tree was alive.
The giant tree grew roots, and the blood vessel-like roots covered all places covered by the shadow of the giant tree.
When Lingyi approaches, these roots will move and make a clean and wide path for Lingyi.
The corpses on the giant tree of flesh and blood also came back to life, groaning in pain and struggling continuously.
These groans were accompanied by their confessions.
They constantly confessed their sins and prayed to God for forgiveness and deliverance.
However, Lingyi and Patchouli could tell at a glance that these corpses did not come alive. They had no life and they were still corpses.
The reason they behave like this...is completely controlled by this tree.
"..."
Patchouli raised her eyebrows, and a different emotion appeared in her eyes amidst her resistance to the giant flesh and blood tree.
Surprising and subtle.
"Emmmm......"
Ling Yi also fell into a subtle silence.
She finally understood what this giant tree of flesh and blood was doing.
The giant tree of flesh and blood is using this method to warn the remaining people what to do and what not to do - this is the purpose of Lingyi's creation of the wonder.
But that's not all. It also deliberately amplified the sound and the amplitude of the corpses' struggles.
Just to show off in front of Lingyi.
Why does Lingyi know?
Because the branches began to move, and there was a faint tendency for them to gather in the direction of Lingyi.
Lingyi could also sense an emotion coming from the giant tree of flesh and blood—an emotion of wanting to be praised and recognized, just like a dog wanting to be rewarded.
It's just...it's quite weird.
There's nothing wrong with this emotion, it's just that the other person's appearance is a bit strange to match this emotion.
"Okay, okay, please calm down first, it's a little noisy."
All the wailing and struggling stopped, and at the same time, the giant tree of flesh and blood also emitted a sense of loss.
"I don't hate you. On the contrary, you've done a great job. I'm glad you didn't grow up to be a bad kid and didn't hurt others. Instead, you carried out my will."
Apart from the fact that the giant flesh and blood tree was a bit ugly, Lingyi still approved of and liked the other party's behavior.
After hearing Lingyi's words, the top of the giant tree of flesh and blood swayed a few times, and then a root crawled to Lingyi's feet, raised the end to face Lingyi, and then lowered the end again.
Simply put - the puppy is asking for petting.
Of course Lingyi would not refuse a reward for being a good child, especially such a simple reward.
She gladly reached out and touched the end of the fleshy root.
Then I touched a hand covered in sticky blood, which also emitted a mixed smell of fishy and rotten odor.
".....hiss."
This is really not suitable for contact.
"Can you change your image?"
"..."
The flesh and blood roots shook, not shaking their heads, but rather in confusion.
"never mind."
.........
"Human dignity? Human pride?"
"Even if you are destined to be destroyed, will you hold hands and bravely walk into the darkness?"
"High and mighty! Disgusting!"
"Look at the vast majority of people in this world and see what kind of quagmire they are stuck in."
"Selling my body, pawning my flesh, crushing my dignity! Trampling the childhood dreams I held in my hands into the dust! Stifling the truest self in my heart, everything I do is just to survive!"
"It's just for a home that can shelter us from the wind and rain, and for three meals a day that we can eat."
"Are they unworthy of talking about dignity? Or do they not understand pride?"
"No, the very act of staying alive has drained all their strength! Their shattered bodies carry broken souls, and even breathing requires every ounce of their strength!"
"Dignity or survival? They have already given the answer through their struggles every morning and compromises every night!"
"Their choices are being written painfully on the earth at every moment—but it's a pity that you are deaf and blind! You treat them as insignificant background noise!"
"You who sit high above the clouds, have you ever truly bent down to see the ants bending under the heavy burden of existence?"
"You long for luxuries soaked in honey and adorned with pearls, the stars that they find it a luxury to gaze upon."
"When people can't even meet the most basic needs of survival, you are here talking about dignity and pride?"
"No one will pay for your extravagance! No one should pay for your self-satisfaction!"
"We want to survive. We will never be willing to be crushed into dust and swept into the garbage heap by the collapse!"
......................Modify and add characters.........................................
192. Everything is stable and improving
"Dead people just keep their mouths shut. They have nothing. They are just forgotten and worthless!"
“Only by surviving can people consider more things, and only then can mankind have the opportunity to gain true dignity and pride!”
"So, in order to survive, even if I'm not decent, or I'm not understood, no matter what others say, it doesn't matter. I must lead humanity to defeat the Honkai and survive!"
“This is our struggle to survive!”
..........
Lingyi didn't know that in a distant world, people there were almost fighting each other to death, and she had something to do with it.
Standing under the giant tree of flesh and blood, Lingyi also noticed that there seemed to be more corpses on the tree.
However, she did not see any evil karma on the giant tree of flesh and blood, so even if she noticed this, she was not worried.
Just asked out of curiosity.
"What's with all these extra bodies?"
The giant tree's consciousness was still too weak. Several of its flesh and blood roots gestured in front of Lingyi for a long time. Combined with Lingyi's ability to sense the giant tree's emotions, she finally understood what it meant.
The extra pests - Saint Emperor and his companions handed the newly emerged pests over to the giant tree of flesh and blood for disposal.
"Row."
Lingyi then turned his attention to the flock of crows.
From the moment she arrived, the crows became silent and landed on the surrounding treetops, watching her and Patchouli quietly and honestly as they focused their attention on the giant tree.
When Lingyi's gaze finally turned to them, the group of crows seemed to have received some invisible signal and suddenly became active.
They flapped their wings and flew high, circling in the sky, no longer concealing their inner joy, emitting bursts of cheerful chirping, and their black wings glowed with a deep luster in the sunlight.
Among the flock of crows, a crow that was obviously larger stood out. Its feathers were more shiny, and there was a unique spirituality in its eyes.
This leader-like being slowly descended and stopped on the ground not far in front of Lingyi.
Under Lingyi's curious gaze, this special crow first jumped a few times on the spot, tilted its head and looked left and right, as if performing some kind of mysterious ritual dance.
Its movements were both comical and solemn, as if conveying some important message to Lingyi.
After completing this strange ritual, it began to jump forward cautiously, each step filled with trial and expectation, gradually shortening the distance between it and Lingyi.
His head kept turning, but his black bean-like eyes never left Lingyi's face.
When Lingyi smiled and waved for the other party to come over, the crow's movements immediately quickened.
No longer cautious or hesitant, and a hint of joy is revealed in his jumping.
The crow was already half the size of a human.
When it jumped in front of Lingyi, Lingyi didn't even need to bend down, she could just reach out and touch its head.
Compared to the giant flesh and blood tree that was a little dirty with some soup, the crows were much cleaner.
Lingyi touched it and could feel obvious feather patterns and a smooth feeling, and it was very dry.
"Good boy, you are listening to me carefully."
All the crows had no extra bad karma, and the [Grace] in the Judgment skill was now available.
This at least shows that they have not harmed humans in this month.
The same is true for the giant tree of flesh and blood.
However, Lingyi did not intend to use grace on them.
This is a one-time effect, and it will not be permanent like the bonus provided by the skill to Lingyi himself.
And for the time being, it will only take effect once on a unit.
Using [Grace] on a unit that hasn't grown up yet is a complete waste.
This is also the reason why she did not use [Grace] on Patchouli.
For people around you, the later you use this thing, the better.
After all, it is unreasonable to directly strengthen it by 50%.
Although it will also cause consumption to Lingyi, the consumption of giving [Grace] is negligible for Lingyi.
Unless it is large-scale and high-quality, and both conditions are met at the same time, there is a possibility that the magic power will be drained due to [Grace].
In other words, when encountering a stranger whom he may not see again for the next time, Lingyi will simply give [Grace] directly.
After briefly taking a look at the giant flesh and blood tree and the crows, Lingyi headed towards the city.
"Master Lingyi, you are finally back."
When I arrived at the office of the Holy Emperor, I saw him as soon as I pushed the door open.
The other person was wearing a clean white dress and was kneeling on the ground in a pious posture to welcome Ling Yi's arrival.
"No need to do that, get up first."
Although Ling Yi does follow the path of faith and theocracy in governing this world, she is not a true god who follows the path of faith after all.
It's okay to greet her with respect, but there's no need to prostrate yourself on the ground.
The Holy Emperor's standard posture even reminded Ling Yi of a picture he had seen in his previous life - clothes were neatly folded and placed aside, and the heroine prostrated herself on the ground or something.
"When I came back, I also took a look at the current state of the city. From what I see, it's quite prosperous, but I want to get a general idea of what happened during my absence."
"Ok."
The Holy Emperor spoke slowly while pouring tea for Lingyi and Patchouli.
Overall, nothing special happened.
Everything is getting better and better because of the existence of Lingyi, a living god. In addition, Lingyi can indeed use faith to bestow some magical powers, making others extremely convinced of Lingyi's existence, so order is restored very quickly.
In other words, the world is changing too fast, and people really need time to adapt.
And among these surviving humans, there do appear from time to time some vermin—that is, people who not only commit crimes, but also crimes punishable by death, or crimes of an extremely heinous nature.
Overall, today's society is very harmonious.
