Chapter 158 She misses those people very much.
When Rou Rou discovered that Shan Ran had woken up, she was both happy and sad, her voice tinged with a hint of grievance, worried that Shan Ran might not wake up.
Although Rou Rou is hundreds of years old and has many offspring, it always acts like a child in front of Shan Ran.
Rou Rou told her that this time she had been in a coma for a year.
Because of the long time that had passed, her body became somewhat bloated, and some low-intelligence, clueless marine creatures began to try to eat her.
Rou Rou simply put her in his mouth.
Shanran noticed that Rourou's mouth was missing many teeth.
When she held Rou Rou, she noticed that its skin was not as smooth as before.
Even the longest life will eventually age.
It simply cannot be brought back to life after death.
More than forty years later, Rou Rou passed away.
Since realizing that Rou Rou was aging rapidly, Shan Ran has never left the ocean, spending most of her time in the deep sea with Rou Rou.
The deep sea is quieter, inhabited only by marine life, and even those with supernatural abilities rarely reach it.
Meatball has lived for over five hundred years. Apart from long-lived creatures like turtles, no other creature has lived longer than it.
The succulents have many offspring, and they all love mountain dyeing.
Shan Ran also likes them very much.
However, none of them are succulents.
Shan Ran returned to the shore once again.
More than a hundred years have passed since she last set foot on land.
The leader who succeeded her had long since passed away.
After that, there were several changes in leadership, with the entire senior management team being replaced wave after wave.
The current leader is a hardliner.
Shan Ran's palace was located in the central area of the Third Continent, and subsequent leaders never changed its location.
Therefore, starting more than a hundred years ago, a hierarchy of contempt and implicit class distinctions emerged among the three continents. But this time, the roles were reversed, with the third continent occupying a superior position.
This trend was already apparent when the mountain dyed the land last time.
This trend is quite normal. Different continents have different climates, and factors such as land, temperature, and history all have a significant impact.
At this point, the leader's team needs to intervene, for example, by providing political support in some areas and offering more encouragement in others.
In a weaker region, assistance is needed from other regions, which then reciprocate through some means, creating a mutually supportive relationship.
Wait, wait, wait...
When Shan Ran was in a high position, he established many rules in order to maintain balance.
She discovered that although the world had a tendency to be restless, it was all controllable.
It's normal for friction to arise after a long period of world peace, as long as it doesn't escalate. Therefore, she didn't intervene.
But this time it's different. Under the leadership of the new administration, a clear division has emerged between the three continents.
Each continent saw the emergence of its own leaders, who, in their struggle for their own interests, sparked a world war.
The place where the mountain dyes the land is a small seaside town.
A fierce battle clearly took place here, with high-level water-based ability users controlling the ocean and swallowing the entire town. There are also traces of other abilities such as dark, metal, and fire.
The entire town was deserted.
Shan Ran infiltrated the network and gained a general understanding of the current developments in the world.
People have lived in peace and prosperity for too long, forgetting the scorched earth left by past wars.
Some people are eager to make a name for themselves, some want to change the world and leave their mark on history, some think the policies are corrupt and want to cleanse the country from top to bottom, and some simply want to seize land and beat those who are not convinced.
Some even researched evil arts, wanting to emulate the massacres committed by the three great families of the past, to gain power and thus achieve immortality.
Human nature is greedy.
People today generally live longer than before the end times, but their fertility is low. Some people, after gaining a longer lifespan than before, are not satisfied and want to live forever.
The people in this town don't have high levels of superpowers, and some are even ordinary people. They are just victims of this war, which was launched by people driven by their own interests.
There is so much information online, and all sorts of claims are flying around.
The same person can be viewed from different perspectives and thus be evaluated differently.
Shanran cannot judge a person's right or wrong based on these cold, hard data on the internet.
So she became invisible and appeared among these people.
If she determines that someone is worth keeping, she leaves.
If she judged someone to be unfit for life, she would kill them.
After killing someone, she will arrange for someone she deems suitable to succeed her. Of course, if that person performs poorly later, she will kill them as well.
No matter how discreet her actions are, the news will always leak out eventually.
Soon, a legend began to circulate throughout the world.
Because of the turmoil on earth, divine punishment descended from heaven.
There were once gods from another world, and many people in this world still believe in supernatural and supernatural phenomena.
In addition, the proliferation of various churches over the past century has further solidified people's belief in the existence of God.
Shan Ran has long been classified as a deity.
She has been absent from the world for so long that her characteristics have been exaggerated to an extreme degree, making her authenticity unclear.
Because of this legend, a truce was established between the continents. They were afraid that if the fighting continued, they would not know when divine punishment would befall them.
What followed was a Cold War that lasted for more than a decade.
Shan Ran found something else to do: wandering between different continents, regions, and factions.
Today we see this intrigue and backstabbing, tomorrow we see that deceit and treachery.
The development of the world has become a game between high-level politicians.
It gets boring after a while.
People's lives have not improved at all, and conflicts of all sizes are happening every day around the world, only they haven't escalated.
While mountains can prevent world wars, it's impossible for them to travel to every corner of the world every day to maintain peace.
The world won't get better if things continue like this; let's just break it down and start over.
She purged all the high-ranking officials from the three continents, leaving only a small number of people she deemed useful.
Subsequently, some large groups that colluded with politicians were also purged.
These groups wield absolute power in their respective districts, providing numerous jobs but also extracting vast wealth from the people.
More than a decade is enough time for her to observe which ones should be eliminated.
This includes the Yu family.
The Yu family, which Yu Yuan once belonged to, has completely changed.
Shan Ran merely frowned slightly before sweeping them away.
Perhaps it's because of her age, or perhaps it's because she was in a bad mood after Rou Rou's passing, but Shan Ran felt that she had lost a lot of patience.
In the past, she would have taken things slowly and methodically, but now she just wanted to kill them all.
And that's exactly what she did.
The world was almost destroyed before, but she and her companions were able to rebuild a new world. Now, it's just that a group of top people have died. What does that matter?
There's a reason why Yamazaki is now called a "god".
With her superpowers, she could wipe out an entire family with just a flick of her finger.
But precisely because of her immense power, Shan Ran was very careful when she took action.
Based on her observations over the past decade, the Yu family has retained some capable individuals.
That day, the Yu family recognized her.
"You, you are...you are Lady Yamazome?" One of the elderly men with gray hair looked up at the woman facing the sunlight in the sky, and tears welled up in his eyes, perhaps because he was shocked.
Shan Ran didn't turn around, but left behind a single sentence.
Let them think carefully about how to manage the Yu family in the future, and not let the Yu family be completely destroyed in their hands.
Later, more and more people recognized Shan Ran.
There was once a wide variety of visual materials about mountain dyeing.
Although many people imitate Shan Ran, there are very few people with such extraordinary abilities.
Smoke filled the air, and cries of agony echoed through the sky, but all people could see was that one person in the air.
Countless people knelt on the ground, shouting Shan Ran's name.
Many people are hiding in the corners of their homes, trembling with fear, afraid that Shan Ran will find them and settle scores.
Shan Ran stared expressionlessly at the densely packed group of people kneeling on the ground.
She doesn't like being treated like a god.
But now, her status doesn't allow anyone in the world to be her equal.
She doesn't consider herself a god, but she can't shake off that label.
She vanished from the spot in a flash.
The world was reorganized, and people were finally able to truly recuperate and thrive.
People rebuilt their homes on the ruins, established a new order, and elected new leaders.
This time, Shan Ran did not force the three continents to be together. The three continents each governed themselves and stood in a tripartite balance, which was also a stable relationship.
Shan Ran once again concealed her identity, changed her name and lived in the world, and took the opportunity to see how the world would be rebuilt.
This time, however, things didn't go as smoothly as before.
After she disappeared without a trace, people didn't know where she was, and there were all sorts of speculations, but no one believed that she was still alive.
Now that she has appeared, breaking the old rules and rebuilding order, people believe that she has always been among us, constantly observing the world's development.
Moreover, since she appeared, all her former imitators have disappeared. They dare not imitate her anymore, fearing that they would be "blaspheming."
Shan Ran can only change her hair color and do simple disguises, but she can't change her appearance, so anyone who pays attention can recognize her.
Helpless, Shan Ran simply stayed hidden most of the time.
The news somehow got out at some point.
As a result, many people in the world began to subconsciously regulate their words and actions, unaware that an invisible god might appear beside them at any time.
Many people also pray morning and evening, kneeling and bowing towards the air, asking the mountain to bless them.
War has completely disappeared, and the world is developing in a stable manner.
The biggest change is that the mountain dye, which used to be just a symbol in books and churches, has now become a real deity over the heads of people all over the world.
Shan Ran didn't care about the title of deity at all, but she often felt helpless when she saw people kneeling and worshipping in the void, and they happened to be kneeling towards her.
It's especially frustrating when you hear the wishes those people make.
[Great Immortal, Great Immortal, please bless me with great wealth!]
[May the Supreme Celestial Lord of the Mountain Dye bless me so I can beat that fat guy next door in next month's superpower test!]
[Mountain God, please bless me so I can conceive twins this time!]
[...]
Shanran: ...Does he really think of me as a wish-granting deity?
She even wanted to make a wish on someone else.
She missed those people and wished to see them again.
