A new starting point
Zhong Ling returned to Yunshuiju, sat cross-legged, and no longer suppressed the wish power that was continuously flowing into her body.
This is the most sincere gratitude and respect expressed by trillions of creatures in Daxia after surviving the catastrophe, and it is the entire civilization's belief in the "Immortal Ancestor".
The divine power in Zhong Ling's body continued to rise, and the barrier of the early stage of the lower god was shattered at the touch of a button under the impact of this willpower.
The divine power continued to rise until it reached the late stage of the lower god, just a step away from the great perfection. Then the surging wish power slowly subsided and continued to nourish her divinity.
As Zhong Ling's cultivation level improved, Yunshuiju also underwent tremendous changes.
The entire stream was shimmering with a golden halo, the peach trees turned into a peach forest, and star patterns formed on the skin of each fairy peach.
Zhong Ling raised her hand, and a fairy peach automatically flew into her hand. She could feel that the breath of life and star power contained in this peach were dozens of times richer than before.
"You have lived up to my expectations."
A gentle voice sounded behind him.
Zhong Ling turned around and saw that the Lord of Reincarnation was already standing under the peach forest, with approval in his eyes.
"Master." Zhong Ling bowed.
"No need to be so polite." The Lord of Samsara waved his hand, his eyes sweeping across the entire Yunshuiju.
"You saved them and also achieved success for yourself. This is the cycle of cause and effect."
"The 'Guardian' law you left behind is very good. It serves as both a shield and a coordinate. As long as the Great Xia civilization survives, your source of divine power will never dry up."
"They are my roots." Zhong Ling said.
"Yes, it's your root." The Lord of Reincarnation nodded.
"Your path is already very clear: protection and creation. Next, you will take this path further and wider."
"Disciple understands."
"It's good that you understand. The road to the divine realm is long. Take your time. There's no rush."
After giving the instructions, the Lord of Reincarnation left.
Zhong Ling stood alone in the peach forest, feeling the divine power filling his body. He was in the late stage of the lower god, not bad.
Suddenly, a golden light streaked across the sky and headed straight for Yunshuiju.
The golden light dissipated, and the God of Wealth, Old Man Zhao, appeared happily. As soon as he landed, he took an exaggerated breath of air.
"Oh my, little girl, how come your place has suddenly become like a top-level cave paradise? Even my mountain of gold ingots can't compare to it."
Then he saw the star-patterned fairy peaches in the peach forest, and his eyes widened.
"This is a fairy peach nourished by the power of the stars, the source of life, and the will of all living beings. What a treasure, what a treasure!"
Zhong Ling looked at him without saying anything.
"Cough cough." Old man Zhao coughed twice and took out a larger golden cloth bag from his arms, with a golden "wealth" word embroidered on it.
"The gift I gave you last time was a bit shabby." Old man Zhao handed over the cloth bag.
"This is a small gift from you, brother. It's not just a token of respect, but congratulations on your great progress in cultivation and a smooth path ahead."
Zhong Ling took the cloth bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense.
Inside is a small source of divine crystals, which can slowly produce divine crystals on its own.
There is also a book called "Record of Trade in All Worlds", which records the specialties and trading channels of many worlds.
"What do you want?" Zhong Ling asked directly.
"Hehe, that's great." Old man Zhao rubbed his hands and pointed at the peach orchard.
"Brother, I'm not greedy. I just want to ask for a few of your newly harvested peaches so I can take them back to study and see if I can graft them into some new varieties.
You know, as a businessman, I like to deal in these novelties."
"Okay." Zhong Ling nodded, and with a wave of her hand, ten star-patterned fairy peaches flew in front of Old Man Zhao.
Old man Zhao smiled happily, chatted a few more interesting stories about the divine world, and then left contentedly.
As soon as he left, a wine gourd flew over, wobbling. The wine god Du Kang burped and jumped off the gourd.
"I was saying it didn't smell right. How come there's a fragrance on your island out of nowhere?"
Du Kang's nose twitched, and his gaze finally fell on the fairy peach.
"Good boy, this peach, I'm afraid it can be used to brew a magical wine that has never been seen in the God Realm."
Zhong Ling looked at him and waved again.
The same ten fairy peaches flew over.
Du Kang didn't hesitate to take it and took a bite, with juice splashing everywhere.
"Great, great!" Du Kang's eyes lit up.
He took out a smaller green-skinned gourd from his waist and handed it to Zhong Ling.
"A welcome gift, my newly brewed Drunken Life and Dream of Death. Take a sip and you'll experience the cycle of reincarnation for a hundred lifetimes. It's helpful for stabilizing your mind and understanding the laws of nature."
Zhong Ling took the gourd.
Du Kang munched on a peach and walked away contentedly.
In the next half day, Yunshuiju became lively.
Zhurong, the god of work, sent a boy made of fire, bringing a piece of divine gold that could repair and grow on its own, in exchange for a few peaches.
The messenger of the Green Emperor, the Lord of Life, a blue bird, brought a branch of the Green Emperor's body and also took away a few peaches.
Even the god of literature, who rarely appears in public, turned the pages of a book, sending a ray of wisdom that recorded the history of a lost civilization.
Zhong Ling accepted all the gifts and returned them one by one.
After seeing off the last group of guests, Yunshuiju finally returned to peace.
Zhong Ling lay on the grass, with her hands behind her head, looking at the eternal and unchanging void above her head, her heart filled with peace.
The road to Shinto is still long, but she knows that she has found the most solid starting point.
Her story has ended on Blue Star.
And here, her story has just begun.
