Lin Anniang dared not be negligent in the slightest. She moved with lightning speed, her steady steps barely making a sound on the mountain path, her speed astonishing.
Before long, she arrived at Wang Wan's bamboo house.
Wang Wan was tending to a few spiritual herbs in the small herb garden in front of her house. These were seeds she had brought from the world of cultivation.
Nourished by the divine power of this desolate mountain, it finally took root and sprouted with great difficulty.
A group of young apprentices sat obediently to the side, drawing something on the ground with small twigs and muttering incantations, learning the basic cultivation techniques.
"Master Wang!" Lin Anniang's voice arrived before she did.
Wang Wan looked up at the sound and saw Lin Anniang rushing over. She put down the small hoe in her hand and went to greet her: "Anniang, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"
Lin Anniang approached and lowered her voice: "The Mountain Goddess has given an order! Skeleton spies from the Divine Kingdom have infiltrated the General's Mansion, and a large number of mortal prisoners will be sent out! The Goddess has ordered the two of us to immediately go to the only road connecting the Divine Kingdom to the outside world to meet those people."
"What?" Wang Wan was also somewhat surprised when she heard this.
That was incredibly fast? Those time travelers are truly amazing!
"There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately!" Lin Anniang waved her hand, her eyes full of decisiveness.
Wang Wan didn't hesitate either. Both of them were action-oriented and didn't waste any words. They immediately sped off towards the direction of the divine kingdom.
…
Beyond the Kingdom of God.
The heavy city gate slowly opened, emitting a harsh scraping sound.
Immediately afterwards, the dark mass of people was roughly pushed out by a group of skeleton soldiers wielding bone spears, like livestock being herded.
"Get out of here! All of you, get the hell out of here!"
"If anyone dares to approach the divine kingdom even half a step again, they will be killed without exception!"
The skeleton soldiers' shouts were fierce and indifferent, and their bone spears occasionally pierced the bodies of those who lagged behind, eliciting cries and screams.
Tens of thousands of mortal captives were thus driven in a sorry state to the empty wilderness outside the realm of the gods.
They were ragged, emaciated, and their eyes were filled with terror and bewilderment.
"What happened?"
"Why did these skeletons suddenly drive us all out?"
An old man asked tremblingly, his face full of confusion.
"Yeah, we couldn't escape even if we wanted to before, but now, why are we being thrown out like trash?"
"Something's not right! Something's really wrong! There's definitely something fishy going on here!"
There was a buzz of discussion and a sense of unease among the crowd.
They were like a flock of abandoned lambs, not knowing where to go.
Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Everyone, don't panic!"
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man who looked somewhat down on his luck, but whose eyes were unusually bright, standing on a rock.
This person was the transmigrator who had previously mingled among the prisoners, preparing to play a crucial role at a critical moment.
He raised his arm and shouted: "Do you think these skeletons are having a change of heart? Bah!"
He spat, his voice trembling with urgency: "Let me tell you, this is all the Mountain Goddess's scheme!"
"Mountain Goddess?"
Which mountain goddess?
The ordinary people looked at each other, clearly unfamiliar with this name.
Upon seeing this, the young man raised his voice even higher: "She is the Goddess of the desolate mountain, who protects this land and water, possesses boundless magical power, and is incomparably benevolent!"
"It was the Mountain Goddess who manifested her power and severely injured those two scourges, the Blood God and the Wolf God. Without their backing, these skeletons had no choice but to release us!"
"They were afraid! They were afraid of the divine power of the Mountain Goddess!"
These words resounded like a thunderclap among the crowd.
"What? The Blood God and the Wolf God are severely injured?"
"Really? Those are two man-eating monsters!"
"If it's true, then we're saved!"
Seeing that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, the young time traveler immediately pressed his advantage: "Of course it's true! The Mountain Goddess took pity on our suffering and that's why she came to our rescue!"
"Now we are free! We should go and seek refuge with the Mountain Goddess! Only the Mountain Goddess can truly protect us and give us a safe haven!"
"Yes! Let's go seek refuge with the Mountain Goddess!"
"The Mountain Goddess saved us, so we should worship her!"
The crowd's emotions were instantly ignited, and a flame of hope was rekindled in their despairing eyes.
They had previously heard some rumors about the mountain god of the desolate mountains while in the divine realm, but at that time they were unable to investigate due to their circumstances.
Now, after hearing what this time traveler said, I suddenly felt like I had found a pillar of support.
"We're going to pay our respects to the Mountain Goddess!"
"Please, Mountain Goddess, take me in!"
In an instant, the crowd was filled with indignation, and many people even knelt down and bowed in the direction of the barren mountain.
Just then, two figures appeared not far away like ghosts.
The one leading the group was Lin Anniang. She was tall, had a steady demeanor, and sharp eyes.
Beside her, Wang Wan wore an elegant long dress, looking ethereal and graceful.
"The Mountain Goddess has sent people to pick us up!" the sharp-eyed time traveler immediately shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Anniang striding over, her voice booming: "By order of the Mountain Goddess, I will guide you to the desolate mountain!"
"Mountain Goddess, have mercy!"
"Thank you, Mountain God!"
The mortals were immediately moved to tears and knelt down in droves.
Wang Wan didn't say much, and with a flick of her wrist, divine power surged forth.
In an instant, a mysterious light array rapidly unfolded on the open ground, radiating a gentle yet powerful spatial fluctuation.
"This is a temporary teleportation array that leads directly to the foot of the desolate mountain. Everyone, please enter quickly!" Wang Wanqing's cold voice rang out.
