Yu Luo squatted by the door of the small, dilapidated temple, picking at the grass. Three whole months had passed since she transmigrated into the statue. The grass outside had grown back again and again, but no one came. It was as if the dilapidated temple had been sealed away.
She couldn't stray too far from the temple, and she had no idea how desolate the place she had come to was.
There is one thing that is comforting: she awakened the system essential for transmigrators.
However, this system is a bit cunning, because it's called the "Wild Chicken to Godhood System".
What a piece of junk system! What a terrible name!
Whether she was a deity or not, I don't know, but she caught a few pheasants passing by the dilapidated temple and roasted them all.
Sure enough, another one hopped over from a distance, cautiously taking small steps and quietly peeking its head out.
One step, two steps, its sharp beak aimed at a few wild wheat seeds on the steps of the dilapidated temple, and then, with lightning speed—
She grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air.
With a series of clucking and gurgling sounds, this delicious dish that had come to their door was successfully tied up by its two legs.
This pheasant was particularly plump today. Yu Luo was very satisfied with the meal that was served. She quickly plucked the feathers, cleaned the internal organs, and placed the pheasant on the grill to roast.
This series of actions is very fast, and you don't even need to do it yourself.
She was at least bound to the Godhood System. Although the system's functions were not fully activated, some basic functions were still available, such as absolute control over this small, dilapidated temple.
As long as one is within the temple grounds, the closer one is to the statue, the stronger her control becomes!
"System, do you keep your word? As long as I accumulate enough faith points, I can have my own body and become a true god, right?"
In her spare time, she still didn't forget to interrogate the system again. There was no way around it; the system was just too lazy. It might not even answer one out of ten questions. She had to interrogate it whenever she had a spare moment, otherwise this system would have no self-awareness.
"Of course, as long as you have enough followers to accumulate enough faith points to reach a small goal, you can become a true god."
"A small goal," this system really knows how to talk! If this were in the modern world before my rebirth, there might still be a sliver of a chance. But in ancient times, how could there be so many people?
The system continued to explain, "Each believer can continuously provide faith points, so you don't need to worry about that. Just develop more believers."
Yu Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, even if you searched the whole world, you might not be able to find all 100 million people in this ancient era!
She waved her hand, collected the beautiful feather in her hand, and buried the rest in the soil.
The roast chicken on the rack was already fragrant and glistening with oil. Although she hadn't used too much paint, she had picked up a few salty fruits within the ruined temple grounds, squeezed their juices onto them, and the roasted chicken tasted quite good.
Wait, there seems to be footsteps outside!
This was the first time Yu Luo had heard a sound near the dilapidated temple. She was incredibly excited and, with great speed, put the roasted chicken into the system's free little space, cleared away all the smells in the temple, and floated back above the statue.
The person was not seen before the voice came.
"Sister, do you think this temple is really effective? Will Mother really get better?" The child's voice was very weak, probably from climbing the mountain for too long, and he was still panting.
"Second sister, this mountain god temple on this desolate mountain is what Mother mentioned before. As long as we pray sincerely here, Mother will definitely get better!" Another girl's voice was very firm.
The next moment, a girl dressed in a blue dress and covered in dust stood in front of the dilapidated temple.
The temple is very old; the mud walls look very mottled, and half of the wooden door has been eroded away. When the wind blows, the wooden door makes a constant clanging sound.
Lin Xiu wiped the sweat and dust off her face, and smoothed her hair, trying to make herself look less disheveled.
Finally, she mustered her courage, led her sister to push open the half-broken wooden door, and quietly walked in.
Upon entering, Lin Xiu immediately noticed the difference. The mountain god temple was not as cold as she had imagined. Even though the old wooden door was already too heavy to withstand the strain, the fierce wind outside still did not blow in, as if everything inside had stopped.
Everything here looks so dilapidated, even the faces of the statues are hard to see, yet it also feels very warm.
She closed the door in disbelief and went outside to feel the force of the mountain wind hitting her face. Her five or six-year-old sister, who was not understanding what was going on, followed her out.
This scene left Yu Luo, who had been waiting, completely bewildered. Wait, what's going on?
Why did you leave without saying a word? You came all the way to the temple, didn't you even come in to make a wish? At the very least, you could have vented your frustrations, let this not-yet-official-duty deity hear them!
Having waited so long, Yu Luo didn't want these two potential believers to run away. Just as she was thinking about what kind of commotion to make, she saw the two girls come in again.
This time, Lin Xiu's dry face turned bright red, and she looked extremely excited. She knelt down with a thud.
"Mountain Goddess, please save my mother! She has been bedridden for a long time and is very ill. My grandmother keeps beating her and making her go out to work!"
"I can work too! As long as my mother gets better, I can work for the Mountain Goddess for the rest of my life!"
The little girl didn't know what she could offer, so she could only promise with red eyes that she was very capable!
Upon hearing this, Yu Luo, who was sitting inside the statue space, was stunned again, and she looked at the little girl carefully.
