Chapter 443 The God of Religion (1)
To be precise, Ji Rong was awakened by the shouts and curses mixed in with the rustling and searching sounds.
Those were the voices of the mountain python and the mountain rat. Ji Rong hadn't even opened her eyes yet, but she thought to herself, "These mountain python and mountain rat are clearly only a few years old, how come they've already learned to treat the weak like trash? All those rules they learned were for nothing."
She quickly opened her eyes and saw that the mountain python and the mountain rat were standing on the high slope of the mountain in front of her. They were scattering spirit grains and spirit fruits on the heads of the creatures below who had brought their offspring to beg for food, while cursing and yelling like slave leaders. Little White was watching from the other side without making any move.
This is outrageous! Ji Rong immediately flew over, grabbing one with each claw and pinning the mountain python and rat to the rock, saying, "Who gave you permission to feed them like this! Do you want to die?!"
The cultivators on the ground were all frightened when they saw Ji Rong's appearance and aura. They dared not take the spiritual fruits and hurriedly scurried into the grass and trees. Ji Rong sighed wearily and said, "You don't need to run. I won't eat you."
"Little White, after I leave, have them pick up and eat these spiritual foods so they don't go to waste."
Having said that, he led the mountain python and the mountain rat into the sky and landed on the freshly piled-up Nine Suns Mountain. Because the gods had urged the planting, the muddy mountain ground was already covered with tender green seedlings, a scene full of vitality.
The serpent under Ji Rong's claws kept saying, "My lord, you are innocent!" The mountain rat also said in alarm, "My lord, before you went to sleep, you told us to watch them eat before we left. With so many mouths to eat, how could we control them if we didn't stand on high ground and watch them?"
"Huh?!" Ji Rong sneered, "Mountain rats, if you want to watch them eat and drink, why don't you let them take it properly from under your claws, instead of scattering it all over the mountain like livestock or slaves? Even if you two are lazy, scattering it all over the mountain is one thing, but why are you cursing them?!"
Upon hearing this, the mountain rat immediately shrank its head and tail, while the mountain python quickly added, "My lord, the tribes that used to support us all did it this way. They said it was efficient, so we did as they said. Little White Dragon didn't say it was wrong, so we assumed it was fine."
Ji Rong looked at the two of them and thought to herself that although these two were born as gods and only received a small piece of power, the Mountain and Water God was never a petty person and never made them suffer mentally.
They are born with far more than those minor cultivators who occasionally become spirits in the wilderness. How could they possibly understand true "respect" and "equality" just because they have a book of rules to follow? Judging from their appearance, they might even think that giving these minor cultivators food and drink is already a form of respect.
Ji Rong paced back and forth, holding the two of them. As she pondered, she suddenly released her grip, gently placing the mountain python and mountain rat on the ground. She said softly, "This is not your fault, but you must understand the ways of being a god so that you can truly establish yourselves in Buzhou in the future, instead of being led by the nose by those heartless cultivators."
Today, I will let you experience it firsthand. I will only teach you once, so you must understand it carefully.
As she spoke, Ji Rong spread her wings, raised her head, and said loudly, "You've been following me around for a while now, frequently exercising your powers. Do you still have any source reserves left? Would you like me to give you some?"
The mountain python and the mountain rat were puzzled when Ji Rong suddenly spoke so loudly, but when they thought of the source, they couldn't resist the joy that welled up inside them. They nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. We need it." After saying that, they both opened their mouths and waited for Ji Rong to feed them.
Ji Rong sneered and shouted, "Want the source? Look at yourselves! What right do you have to ask me to personally feed you? You'd better lick it up and eat it, hahahaha!"
Having said that, she spread her wings, transformed into a magic bird, flew into the sky, and then quickly slid down to the ground.
As she fell, earth and stones flew up, hitting the bodies of the mountain python and mountain rat. At this moment, Ji Rong spat out a mouthful of her essence onto their divine bodies, shooting it onto their skin and fur.
Ji Rong said arrogantly, "Keep licking your boots! You damned scum! You worthless trash with no real power!"
Upon hearing these words, the faces of the mountain python and the mountain rat flickered with uncertainty. A strange anger welled up from the bottom of their hearts, and a sense of humiliation they had never felt before rose in their stomachs.
These angry and humiliating emotions arose from their very core and flowed to the top of their heads, raging wildly in their minds: "How dare you insult God! Kill this bird!"
"Kill her!"
......
Despite the cacophony of voices in their minds, the mountain python and the mountain rat remained motionless. Their divine bodies tensed and relaxed repeatedly, finally bowing their heads to Ji Rong and saying, "Thank you for your reward, sir."
After saying that, he humiliatingly stuck out his tongue and licked himself.
Ji Rong then took out two small bottles containing the Origin Stream and waved them in front of them, stopping them, "Stop licking them, do you feel humiliated?"
The boa constrictor and the rat nodded with blank faces.
Ji Rong said, "I imagine those minor cultivators who were scolded and pelted with spiritual food by you feel the same way, but they dare not speak out because of your power."
However, nowadays the Great Dao favors ordinary people, and the lesser cultivators are becoming increasingly intelligent, so it's only a matter of time before they produce great beings.
"If you always treat them this way, who knows if some powerful cultivator will come looking for revenge in the future? Even if they don't, they certainly won't be grateful to you."
“Tell me, when I hurled earth and stones at you and spat the source of life onto you, forcing you to lick it up, were you grateful to me, or did you want to kill me?”
Seeing that Ji Rong had spoken their thoughts, the mountain python and the mountain rat immediately banged their heads on the ground and said, "My lord, we dare not."
Ji Rong said earnestly, "You dare not because you have witnessed my power before and know that you cannot defeat me."
If one day I am no better than you, would you still not dare to rebel against me?
Mountain pythons and mountain rats, with the immortal path newly established, there is no longer a need for so many great gods in the world. You have no chance of becoming great gods anymore. One more mountain god in this world doesn't matter, and a few less doesn't matter either.
I just thought that you attained enlightenment with great difficulty, and it would be good if you could live well.
Now that you've experienced the humiliation of being slighted, experience the respect of being treated as equals.
"Open your mouth."
The mountain python and the mountain rat obediently opened their mouths, and Ji Rong gently placed the two jade bottles into their mouths, saying, "Taste the contents of these bottles and then tell me what you think."
Upon hearing this, the mountain python and the mountain rat opened the bottle, and upon smelling the pale golden emanation inside, their faces lit up with obvious joy.
After drinking it all, they happily bowed to Ji Rong and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, sir!"
