Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and when they looked again, the giant ship beneath their feet had come to a steady stop.

The surrounding area was no longer a vast, boundless river, but a boundless lake with rippling blue waves.

The lake is surrounded by green mountains and shrouded in mist.

The houses scattered among the mountains are faintly visible, like a fairyland.

"Where is this?" A young time traveler rubbed his eyes, his voice trembling slightly.

"Could it be that we've traveled through time again?" Another traveler stared wide-eyed at the faint divine light swirling among the distant mountains, muttering to himself.

A lake breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees caressed my face, dispelling the filth and despair from the bottom of the cabin.

The sunlight gently bathed everyone, warm and comforting.

Factory Director Xu Hai took a deep breath and felt that much of the frustration in his chest had dissipated.

He looked at Wang Wan excitedly: "My benefactor, is this place the desolate mountain?"

Wang Wan nodded slightly, her cool voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible gentleness: "Indeed, welcome to the desolate mountains of Qingzhou."

Lin Anniang, standing nearby, waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop standing there like idiots! Let's take the people and settle them down first!"

She glanced around and pointed at the truly weak and injured transmigrators: "You few, take these people who really can't get up to the clinic in the desolate county and let the doctors there give them a good look!"

"Yes, Madam An!"

Several burly believers immediately stepped forward and carefully carried or lifted the weak transmigrators.

"The rest of you, come with me!" Lin Anniang called out. "Let's go to the bathhouse over at the factory first, wash up properly, and change into clean clothes!"

"Bathhouse? Factory?"

Xu Hai and the other transmigrators looked at each other in disbelief. There was actually a factory here?

Filled with doubt, they followed Lin Anniang and her group off the boat.

Considering that these people had been staying at the bottom of the ship without seeing the sun, their physical condition was not that good.

The believers on the barren hillside along the shore specially prepared several spacious carts for them.

The group boarded the vehicle one after another and headed down the mountain.

What they saw along the way amazed them even more.

Along the smooth road, the fields were neatly planned, and the lush green crops were growing vigorously.

In the distance, clusters of buildings with blue bricks and gray tiles can be vaguely seen, with wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys, but there is no black smoke at all; instead, they carry a strange fragrance.

The closer you get, the clearer the roar of the machine becomes.

When they were led to a huge factory area, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

Towering chimneys, enormous factory buildings, and workers in uniform, busy yet orderly at their respective posts.

Some factory buildings had signs for cement factories, others for textile factories, and still others for farm implement factories, brick and tile factories...

The air was filled with a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere.

The workers' faces were beaming with simple smiles, and their eyes were full of energy and hope.

What surprised them even more was the situation in some key production stages.

Xu Hai and his group were surprised to see many other transmigrators like themselves, who were methodically directing production or recording something.

"This, this..."

Looking at the bustling production scene before him and the energetic and vibrant workers, Director Xu Hai was overwhelmed with emotion.

Tears gradually welled up in his cloudy old eyes.

For so many years, isn't this exactly what his dream factory looks like?

"It's so good..." His voice choked, tears streaming down his face. "Finally, finally, I've come to a place where people are treated like human beings!"

Even though I haven't met the legendary mountain goddess yet.

At this moment, these newly rescued time travelers were filled with endless gratitude and reverence for this god they had never met.

They were led to a public bathhouse near the factory.

A brand-new cubicle, a constant supply of hot water, and clean soap and towels.

When they washed away the grime and exhaustion and changed into the simple yet clean clothes provided by the barren mountain, many people shed tears again.

They came back to life!

After the factory was completely renovated, Lin Anniang led them on a tour of the factory area.

"My God! Is this an assembly line?" A young man who had once worked in management at a modern factory exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the nascent production line in the textile factory.

"Is that an improved water-powered forging hammer over there?" A transmigrator who knew a bit about mechanics pointed in the direction of the farm implement factory, his face full of disbelief.

Behind them, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old watched all this with a longing gleam in his eyes.

He mustered his courage, cautiously approached Lin Anniang, and asked softly, "Auntie, could we also work here? Apply for a job?"

His voice was soft, tinged with trepidation, as if he were afraid of being rejected.

After all, they came from the divine kingdom, which meant they were from the opposing demonic forces.

Upon hearing this, Lin Anniang turned her head.

Looking into the boy's hopeful eyes, he smiled gently.

"sure!"

"Anyone who sincerely wants to live a good life and is willing to contribute to the barren mountains is welcome!"

"We already have many transmigrators from the modern world here. As long as you're willing, this barren mountain and this desolate county will be your home from now on!"

Home!

These words, like the warmest morning sun, instantly illuminated the weathered hearts of these time travelers.

The boy's eyes were bright and clear, and his expression was one of intense excitement.

The other time travelers also had tears in their eyes.
