How did you get in?

An Zhengzheng instinctively became alert.

The man was quite handsome, with an ethereal appearance. He was dressed in a tall, red robe and looked down at An Zhengzheng.

"You've managed to improve these nearby villages over the past six months, haven't you? Thank you for your hard work, you've done a great job."

His tone was as if he were rewarding a well-behaved pet, like praising a dog for raising its paw.

An Zhengzheng sensed a kind of ethereal aura emanating from this man, an aura she had felt before.

When she went down into the river to save the old river god before, the old river god had the same divine aura, but it was completely incomparable to the man in front of her.

The man in front of me exuded an extremely ethereal aura.

She immediately realized: "Goddess Yunhua?"

The one the old River God spoke of is the god who governs this region of the cultivation world.

The High God Yunhua nodded slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes, seemingly displeased that An Zhengzheng had addressed him by his given name.

"You mortal woman, you may be beautiful, but you are far too disrespectful. How dare you mention my name?"

An Zhengzheng clenched her fists.

In the past six months, she has worked diligently to help villagers cure illnesses and mitigate disasters, revive withered trees to bear fruit, protect villagers from going into the mountains to pick chestnuts and walnuts to eat, and even borrow seeds from neighboring villages to help seedlings grow with her magic...

The god who rules the continent actually judged her as beautiful, and even thought she was disrespectful because she called people by their names?

An Zhengzheng instantly lost much respect for this so-called god; it was simply a matter of vastly different strengths...

She had to bow her head, just like she had back in the An family years ago.

"Then, esteemed deity, what brings you to me?"

Gods don't reveal themselves easily. Even if True Immortal Wushang had cultivated for a thousand years, he probably would never have seen a supreme god.

The High God Yunhua spoke magnanimously: "You, young lady, have indeed done quite well in the past six months."

An Zhengzheng laughed somewhat sarcastically, "It's also thanks to Goddess Yunhua. If it weren't for you..."

Unauthorized absence from duty.

How could the virus in that well grow stronger under the nourishment of spiritual energy, even flowing into the river and harming three or four villages downstream?

The Goddess Yunhua's expression suddenly turned cold, and her voice was very gloomy: "Are you blaming me?"

"I wouldn't dare." An Zhengzheng lowered her eyes slightly.

When An Zhengzheng arrived, the old River God was on his deathbed and recounted the whole story with great sorrow.

Hearing that a celestial being had descended to earth to undergo a tribulation, the celestial being Yunhua admired her and, knowing that she was facing a great calamity, specially descended to earth to protect her.

Once they leave, it's for several months.

As a result, the villagers did not commit any evil deeds, nor were they punished by heaven, yet they suffered from a rampant plague and were left without divine protection.

In this cheesy and saccharine romance novel, mortals are merely a part of the gods' play.

They readily resort to sacrificing the lives of ordinary people.

In An Zhengzheng's silence, Goddess Yunhua assumed that she was bowing her head and admitting defeat, and her tone softened.

"I know you wouldn't dare."

Humans are nothing but ants; they can only revere and worship God.

"However, I've heard that during the time I was away, this area has actually started worshipping you?"

During this time, some of his offerings were taken away, but the Heavenly Realm only allows the seven major sects to share them. How could An Zhengzheng, a mere mortal, dare to keep them for himself?

He stared at An Zhengzheng with a gloomy expression, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh from her body.

An Zhengzheng looked completely bewildered and spoke with an innocent expression.

"It's just that the villagers want to pray for me. I've done so much for everyone, and they're grateful, so it's just a show. But I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't actually absorb much incense offerings."

She seemed somewhat worried: "I'm even afraid it will shorten my lifespan."

He had an innocent and naive appearance, and seemed to be wholeheartedly devoted to the people.

When An Zhengzheng mentioned the words "shortening one's lifespan," Goddess Yunhua immediately laughed.

Yes, it's true that mortals who easily accept offerings will have their lifespans shortened. Even if she could share them, how long could she share them?

The offerings of incense after death, the return of the soul to the homeland, ultimately fall upon oneself.

"I was just asking casually."

The God of Yunhua displayed his compassion and magnanimity: "If you have the ability, then take it if you want."

An Zhengzheng grinned.

You see, some strong people always think that the weak can't amount to anything, and they look down on them.

Yunhua Shangshen is just as arrogant as An Zhengzheng, but while An Zhengzheng treats the weaker party as a human being, Yunhua Shangshen treats the weaker party as an ant.

If An Zhengzheng were a god, she wouldn't have abandoned her post. Even if she were transferred to this position, she would only speak to a mortal like her who cares for the people...

Thank you. Also, is this incense enough? Won't it backfire? I will help someone as capable as you become a god, so that we can together protect all living beings.

"However, I came to see you because there is something I need to tell you."

The High God Yunhua interrupted An Zhengzheng's thoughts.

An Zhengzheng had a bad feeling: "What is it?"

"God cannot easily interfere with human affairs, nor can He speak directly with mortals. I need you to be my believer."

"To be your believer?"

An Zhengzheng's mind raced, and she quickly recalled the book she had read in Siyue Gate years ago.

Understood.

The deity Yunhua neglected his post, causing the plague to break out and could have been nipped in the bud. He will inevitably be subject to assessment.

He wanted to take credit for An Zhengzheng's work.

If An Zhengzheng is his follower, then naturally he is acting on his orders. Given the magnitude of the incident in this region, he could easily have shirked responsibility.

For example, framing the old river god.

When he left, he left his followers and the Old River God to oversee things. As a result, the Old River God brought disaster to the world, and the followers, being human, could only try their best to make amends...

However, this was just An Zhengzheng's guess.

But this was the only perspective she could take, because with just a few words, An Zhengzheng could sense the disdain that the god before her held for mortals.

It doesn't seem like they genuinely want to recruit followers and enlighten people.

That would just be taking credit for it.

So she declined, saying, "Wouldn't that be too much for anyone to believe? I've never had any contact with the gods before... Can anyone else believe me?"

Based on the previous speculation, An Zhengzheng did not want to agree.

This hypothesis was quickly confirmed.

Because the goddess Yunhua was not worried at all, but smiled and said in a way that left no room for refusal: "How could you, a mortal woman, have such great ambitions if you did not have me as your faith? How could you have accomplished so much without my guidance?"

Who would believe that a woman could have such a grand ambition to save the world? Even if she did, how much ability would she have?

It's more convincing to believe that a woman is born with such ambition and ability than to believe that a man's guidance is.

"It is your blessing to be able to bear the name of my believers."
