The volcano would have a strong eruption every once in a while, spewing out huge amounts of magma and rocks, posing a serious threat to the river capital.

Uchiha You stayed outside the harbor of Kawatoshi. The Vulcan Ring was continuously opened, and he used the powerful fairy sword, the Fiery Sun Sword, and the Kagutsuchi Chariot to protect Kawatoshi behind him.

Because of the volcanic eruption, a strange phenomenon occurred above the sea where the natural energy of the fire spirit dominated, which happened to be the best way for Uchiha You to replenish himself.

He absorbed the natural energy of fire spirits in nature, circulated it in his meridians to nourish it, tamed it into his own power, and then used it to deal with the disasters caused by volcanic eruptions.

The main theme is a cycle.

Natural energy can be recycled, and mental strength can be replenished by the power of faith. In theory, the battle between Uchiha Yu and Volcano can continue indefinitely.

But in fact, Uchiha You is still a human being, and his fatigue is unstoppable. As time goes by, the fatigue gradually accumulates, making him feel great pain.

The volcanic eruption lasted for a long time, but a truly violent eruption, one that could threaten tens of kilometers away, could not last long.

By the third day, the volcanic activity began to weaken significantly, but Uchiha You did not dare to relax.

The lava rain that appeared from the sky from time to time forced him to concentrate on dealing with it. These things that could cause fires, even a little bit, could burn the capital of Kawa to ashes.

On the fifth day, due to the continued eruption, thick volcanic clouds dropped thick volcanic ash, and the sea water was completely polluted into gray-black mud, rolling and emitting billowing white smoke.

Even Kawa City was not in an easy situation, as it was covered with a thick layer of scorching volcanic ash. But to the surprise of the ninjas present, the reconstruction of Kawa City was already underway.

The people of Chuan, who had just converted to the Southern Fire Spirit, worked hard to clean up the ruins despite the continued falling volcanic ash.

They also built temporary shelters, cleaned up the bodies of the victims, and rescued injured citizens.

When they were too tired to bear it any longer, they would stand up, look at the bright golden sun on the sea, shout slogans praising God and cheer themselves up.

"The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage!"

"Being brave can clear all obstacles!"

"My Lord has promised me the Kingdom of Heaven. Bravery leads to Heaven, while cowardice leads to Hell."

"Wherever the fire shines, there is civilization."

In these short five days, Uchiha You made great progress on the path to becoming a god. He adjusted the thread of faith for his divine clone and returned it according to the quality of the power of faith.

The quality of the power of faith is purity and accuracy, the worship of God with the least prayers and the most accurate understanding of God.

The higher the quality of the power of faith, the less the mind monkey consumes in digesting and absorbing it, and the higher the proportion that can be returned will naturally be.

The spiritual power that is returned is not the original power of faith, but the spiritual power that has been processed by Uchiha Yu and contains the effect of fairy arts.

Since the monkey in the heart is responsible for the processing, it has obvious fire attributes.

It can make people feel energized and courageous, and it can also slightly raise their body temperature, making them more excited.

In addition, the returned spiritual power can also convey information. When Uchiha You realized this, the worship of fire and courage, as well as the image of the heart monkey were conveyed to the hearts of believers and became the unchangeable image of Zhurong.

Helpless Uchiha You could only accept this unexpected setting and changed the appearance under Zhurong's vest mask to Xinyuan's monkey face.

The teachings of the Southern Fire Spirit God were also changed, and the worship of fire and courage was formally established.

However, the image of the heart monkey is a large golden monkey, which does not match the most handsome monkey in Uchiha Yu's mind, and most importantly, even the name does not match.

The coolest monkey name is taken by the damn Four-Tailed Monkey!

He made up his mind that he would kill the Four Tails in the future, take back the name of the Monkey King, and then officially change his name and image.

At this point, Zhurong, the southern god of fire, established the basic framework of belief and officially embarked on the path of Shinto.

Uchiha You successfully maintained his own path of cultivation, and at the same time used the heart shape to integrate with Shintoism, achieving the goal of dual cultivation of immortals and gods, and successfully fulfilling his oath of "I want it all".

With the basic framework of Shinto, Uchiha Yu did more work, such as setting holy names and composing prayers.

He even referred to the religious system of the previous life and established a contract between man and god, promising the blessings of heaven and the terrors of hell.

The advanced and complete religious system showed an overwhelming absolute advantage, and the organization belonging to the Southern Fire Spirit God developed explosively.

The Daimyo of Kawanokuni felt the danger. He had also heard about the rampant cult in Yunokuni, which led to the collapse of the Daimyo's ruling power.

So he mobilized his own military force and issued missions to the Konoha ninjas and the Sand Village ninjas, requiring them to destroy the "Fire Spirit Cult".

But after a quick investigation, the Konoha ninjas and the Sand Village ninjas realized that this was the organization that believed in the immortal outside the harbor. They all gasped and gave up their mission.

What these people believe in are not some illusory evil gods, but real shadow-level immortals who can really jump out and beat people.

The most important thing is, if this immortal is attacked by himself, will he stand on the side of the other party?

As for the terrifying Fire Release Senjutsu he displayed, it would be terrifying if it was not used against the sea, but against ninjas on land.

Even if the Sand Village Ninja determined that this sage was an enemy, they would have to wait until the war was over before considering how to deal with him.

If we directly provoke this immortal now, it would be equivalent to helping the Konoha ninja a lot.

The Sand Village ninja is not that stupid.

Besides, this immortal is protecting the City of Kawa. If you anger him, not only can he use his Fire Escape Immortal Technique to burn down most of the City of Kawa, but even if you leave directly, the City of Kawa will be burned down in the next eruption.

Could the Daimyo of Kawanokuni please not be so stupid?

After receiving feedback from the Konoha ninja and the Sand Village ninja, the Daimyo of River Country was also greatly surprised. He was so scared that the folding fan in his hand fell and he hurriedly canceled the mission.

And a few days later, the daimyo, who had been hiding in a safe basement, was carried by his subordinates to the seashore that stank of sulfur, and saw with his own eyes the immortal who was as dazzling as the sun.

In just a moment, the daimyo was conquered.

And then the daimyo saw the immortal display his divine power, and he raised his sword across the sky, intercepting the rain of fire from the sky, and thousands of chariots rushed forward, destroying the tsunami that was about to destroy the world.

The Daimyo of Kawanokuni no longer cared about the dirtiness of the ground. He prostrated himself on the beach and devoutly offered his faith.

Confucius said: Only the wisest and the stupidest are unchangeable.

The Daimyo of Kawanokuni is a typical wise man. It’s not that he is so wise, but that his family background and education are high enough.

The daimyo has enough insight and knowledge, which combined together form enough wisdom to enable him to understand most things in the ninja world.

Therefore, he is very aware of the importance of strength, which is why he is so vigilant against cults and will eliminate them as soon as he discovers them.

But when he realized that this was a true immortal who possessed power comparable to that of a true God and was definitely not a great being that he could deal with, he would hug him without hesitation.

Moreover, while he was worshipping her, Daimyo felt the courage and warmth brought by the faith feedback mechanism, which filled his heart.

For a daimyo who has no material needs, spiritual emptiness is always inevitable.

After inheriting the title of daimyo, he discovered that he did not have much real power and was at best the lord of a city in Kawa-no-Toku.

But this city was too prosperous and generated too much profit, so all the management work was divided up by Konoha Village and Sand Village, and even the Mist Village could get involved, but he had no right to get involved.

In fact, apart from passively collecting money, the Daimyo of Kawanokuni can only stay in his own manor and live a life of eating, drinking and having fun.

If you live an enviable and boring life for a long time, you will become numb and your heart will be empty.

What people lack most will determine the strongest feedback after it is satisfied, and the higher the level of needs that are satisfied for different people, the stronger the feedback will be.

After feeling the fulfillment brought by the feedback of faith, the daimyo immediately became the most devout believer.

The speed at which he leapt forward in faith was so fast that it seemed to have come out of nowhere, and even Uchiha You was startled.

When Uchiha You followed the line of faith and confirmed that the person on the other side was a daimyo, he was even more surprised.

But soon, Uchiha You discovered that there were too many benefits for the daimyo to become the most pious.

First of all, as the nominal supreme ruler of River Country, the daimyo naturally has a strong demonstration effect.

As the saying goes: What the superiors like, the subordinates will like even more.

The daimyo himself became a believer in the Southern Fire Spirit God, and his officials and people would naturally follow suit, even if they were just shallow believers who knew the god's name.

Secondly, although the Daimyo of Kawanokuni is an empty shell without real power, this shell can also become the basis of the believers' organization, which can at least save ten years of exploration time.

Finally, when the original empty shell of the daimyo is enriched with the help of faith, he can control the state power from another level and form a theocracy.

The theocracy as an organizational form lacks endogenous driving force and is a very backward form of state in a world without the driving force of a true God.

But even on Blue Star, the theocracy is quite capable in terms of execution and can easily crush the feudal states.

When there really is a true God behind a theocracy, and he is a very enlightened and broad-minded God, it can even become an empire that surpasses a centralized system. After all, there is no limit on the lifespan of God.

Even though Uchiha You is not a real god, he feels that he can still play the role of a real god. In this way, River Country will become a very suitable tool for developing the ninja world and exploring and managing resources for cultivating immortals.

Thinking of this, Uchiha You suppressed his excitement and said to the daimyo in person: "Your piety surprises me. In view of your piety, I will grant you the title of 'the pious one'."

"Pious one, are you willing to accept my test and my many tasks?"

As a superior, the daimyo knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although he did not know what benefits would come from it, he still answered without hesitation: "I am willing, my lord, I am willing to accept all your tests and tasks."

Uchiha You admired his sharpness and decisiveness, so he praised: "Very good, in this case I will grant you the power to manage the believers."

"Now, you must go to the city, go to the streets, lead the believers to chant my name, clean up the ruins caused by natural disasters, and save the injured believers and non-believers."

So Uchiha You told him the name of his alias and told him the holy words about courage that he made up on the spot.

Daimyo was overjoyed when he heard this.

He never expected that the God of Fire was actually a benevolent god and that he had given him such great power. This was really... great!

Afterwards, the daimyo naturally ignored the danger and the dirty and messy environment, and took his trusted men to the streets to lead the people to save themselves.

At this moment, all the people in Kawatoshi are believers. As the Fire God's instructions are conveyed to everyone's hearts, the response to the daimyo's organization and command is extremely fast, and the execution ability is surprisingly strong.

The disaster relief operation in Kawatoshi was very effective, earning Uchiha Yuu and the Daimyo great fame.

All this was under the watchful eyes of the ninjas, but the actions of the Konoha ninjas and the Sand Village ninjas to usurp the throne of the Daimyo of River Country were not a conscious act. It was purely a byproduct of the struggle for profits.

After seeing the daimyo's behavior, some ninjas felt puzzled, some thought that the daimyo was a good person, and only a few ninjas of noble birth felt that the daimyo was shameful.

But no matter what they thought, no ninja saw the need to interfere.

Thus, the daimyo obtained greater power than the real daimyo through the newly established theocratic organization, that is, theocratic power that combined politics and religion.

However, the Daimyo of River Country cannot resist Konoha Village and Sand Village.

Because no matter how powerful a regime is, it essentially has to rely on violence to ensure its own existence.

As long as the theocratic organization does not cultivate strong enough ninjas, the daimyo can only control some of the governing power but cannot obtain all the national power.

However, the lack of a political power did not prevent the daimyo from serving Uchiha Yuu and exploring and developing the River Country and the southern waters for him.

Uchiha You was very satisfied with this harvest.

But no matter how satisfied he was, it couldn't relieve his mental fatigue. After five days of not sleeping, Uchiha You began to feel his eyelids heavy.

Fortunately, on the fifth day, the volcanic smoke column changed color again and became gray.

Uchiha You learned from the feedback of the natural energy of the earth spirit that the energy of the volcano had been completely released and there would be no possibility of any eruption.

Feeling exhausted, he finally relaxed and couldn't help but sigh, "It's finally over."

Uchiha You's voice was very low, but due to negligence, these words were passed along the line of faith to all believers.

Kawanodu Shunajin fell silent, and then burst into cheers. The extreme joy and relief at having survived the disaster made the whole city boil.

Because of the continuous use of the Fiery Sun Sword to attack, the volcanic cloud above Uchiha You's head was already the thinnest, and it completely dissipated at this moment.

A ray of sunlight fell from the sky, forming a huge pillar of light, covering Uchiha You, who had disbanded the Zhurong Ring, in the middle.

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

"It is my Lord, my Lord!"

“Thank you for saving me!”

“…”

The ninjas from the two villages were shocked by the fanatical atmosphere, but they could not say anything. The immortal did save the city of Kawano, and it seemed natural for him to be worshipped by the ignorant citizens.

The only question is, how did these ordinary people know the information that the volcanic eruption was over earlier than ninjas like us?

Joy and enthusiasm are the ultimate goals of a large-scale mass. The power of faith has shown an explosive growth, and even the blocked hearts find it difficult to digest.

Fortunately, the fanaticism has purified the power of faith to an extremely high level, so even if it is temporarily stored in the Purple Mansion World, it is not unacceptable.

When Uchiha You carefully examined the changes in his body, he unexpectedly discovered that the goldfish-shaped river god kept in the Yunshang Temple was quietly stealing faith.

The power of faith that He consumed was transformed into a special power in His body.

It's divine power!

The divine power used by the gods native to the ninja world!

Uchiha You was overjoyed. He did not show up to stop the river god from stealing, but quietly approached and tried his best to observe and examine the difference between divine power and the power of faith.

And carefully study how the power of faith is transformed into divine power.

Just when he had made some progress, an extremely sharp pain forcibly pulled him out of the Purple Palace. It was the [Heart Blood **] that suddenly activated with all its strength, telling him that fatal danger was about to come, and for the first time clearly pointed out the source of the danger.

Uchiha You suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky. The danger came from the sky, from the danger bred in the volcanic clouds.

When he saw the swirling cyclones and the blue-purple lightning, he understood that the calamity of the wind and thunder combination was about to come.

"The timing was so perfect. There was no chance to catch my breath."

This time, when muttering quietly, Uchiha You carefully cut off the communication between himself and the thread of faith and did not pass this sentence on to the believers.

Just now, he was still considering when to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, leave his current position, go to the location he had chosen long ago, and use the sealing formation he had set up to resist the heavenly calamity.

Because he was in a weak mental state, Uchiha You was not very confident about performing the Flying Thunder God Technique, fearing that the so-called heavenly calamity would manifest itself in the form of a space disaster.

He had no confidence at all that he could rely on his own strength and body to resist damage such as space tearing.

After all, Uchiha Yuuka's Flying Thunder God Technique was just a copy of the Second Hokage's idea, not because he had any real understanding of space.

For safety reasons, he decided to wait until his mental state recovered so that he would not make a mistake when performing the Flying Thunder God Technique and kill himself before leaving.

Who knew that after just a short wait, the huge electric charge generated in the volcanic cloud blocked his perception of the Flying Thunder God Mark, causing him to lose the ability to teleport.

Without the movement of space, with his own running speed, he would never be able to outrun the volcanic clouds in the sky.

All they could do was stay where they were and endure the baptism of the wind, thunder and natural disaster.
