Chapter 469: Chapter 468: Each Shows Their Miracles
As a qualified god, Jiang Li must always maintain a calm mind.
“Child, why do you want to learn the Ti Reversal Spell?” Jiang Li kindly asked, then glanced at the magic gourd from the corner of his eye.
The magic gourd shuddered involuntarily.
Those who had been enticed by the magic gourd were all beast-eared young girls. Half the day had passed and Jiang Li had yet to see a single male beastman.
This ti was no exception, the young girl’s black cat ears trembled slightly and her tail coiled. She was clearly nervous.
“I want to cure my mother’s illness, but the priests in the cathedral say that my mother’s illness is hopeless. Even legendary priests can’t save her. Only a Ti Reversal spell can cure my mother.”
As the black cat girl began to cry, the magic gourd watched her tearfully.
Jiang Li swept away with his Divine Sense, analyzing the black cat girl’s bloodline to find her bed-ridden mother.
She was indeed gravely ill. Likely from adventuring in underground dungeons as a youth, she was inflicted with a dark curse from the demon clan. Her organs were failing, and a strange toxin was corrupting her body.
Jiang Li pulled off a jade green leaf, gently scooped a few drops of water onto it, and casually tossed it. The green leaf fell into the girl’s hand, and the drops of water on it swayed back and forth like jelly, clear and transparent, unable to shake off the leaf.
“Child, the Ti Reversal Spell isn’t almighty. It won’t save your mother. When you get ho, have your mother drink these drops of water. It will restore her health.”
“Thank you, River God!” the black cat girl sobbed, tears of joy streaming down her face. She bowed in thanks to Jiang Li, her tail curled in happiness, then raced ho as fast as she could.
Having taken just a few steps, she slowed, afraid the water would spill from the leaf.
After examining it, she found the water attached to the leaf had so kind of magical property and wouldn’t spill. Reassured, she resud running ho.
Her journey ho was filled with setbacks. For instance, a beastman sprung from the roadside intending to knock her over, a flowerpot fell from the sky, aid directly at her head. It was as if ten years’ worth of misfortune had all caught up with her that day.
Perhaps the River God was protecting her. The beastman tripped and fell, missing her, and as soon as she took a step forward, the flowerpot fell right where she used to stand. Had she walked half a second slower, she would have been hit.
“Huh, the Church,” Jiang Li chuckled emotionlessly.
This was human disaster, not natural. Anyone who couldn’t be cured by the church but who was healed by the River God would seriously damage the Church’s reputation if news got out.
Uncertain about Jiang Li’s capabilities, the Church didn’t dare to confront him directly and chose to take it out on the black cat girl instead.
The Church used various tactics covertly, all of which were easily dismantled by Jiang Li.
The black cat girl returned ho safely, despite all the surprises on the way.
Calling out to her mother twice and getting no response, the black cat girl saw that her mother was so ill she couldn’t even open her eyes.
If she had been delayed on the way ho, she feared she might not even be able to see her mother one last ti.
Rembering the leaf in her hand, the black cat girl opened her mother’s mouth to administer the dicine.
Strangely enough, the water that had clung to the leaf throughout the girl’s journey ho, now easily dripped into her mother’s mouth.
As seconds ticked by, the black cat girl paced anxiously about the room. Finally, her mother opened her eyes.
“Am I… still alive?” the mother looked utterly bewildered.
She had long been suffering from chronic heart pain, an injury she got from adventuring in the underground dungeon. They had never had the money to treat it, but she thought she could hold on.
Unfortunately, injuries and illnesses cannot be easily ignored. Her condition worsened over the past few years, and the cost of treatnt by the priests skyrocketed. Eventually, she had to give up on getting treatnt.
In these few days, her condition swiftly deteriorated. The burning sensation never left her body. She always pretended nothing was wrong whenever she saw the concerned looks from her daughter.
In reality, the pain was unbearable and left her nearly speechless.
If she weren’t bedridden from the pain, she would’ve gone to the underground dungeon to put an end to her suffering, not wanting her daughter to go begging for help everywhere.
When she woke, she realized the burning sensation was gone. A sensation of relief washed over her that she hadn’t felt in a long ti. It felt like divine nectar bathing her entire body.
The black cat girl burst into tears of joy and recounted to her mother the story of the erging God of River and how he had saved her life with the gift of a few drops of water.
After this ordeal, both the black cat girl and her mother saw clearly. Instead of the greedy church, the River God was more trustworthy.
The mother and daughter started spreading word of the greatness of the River God, and news of the River God started to circulate in their area.
Similar incidents were happening all over the beast kingdom.
…
Not too far away from an underground dungeon, Li Er was watering a tree.
“Bear clan big brother, what are you doing?” A group of doe girls returning from triumphant raid on the underground dungeon, ca across Li Er watering the tree, sparking their curiosity.
Li Er had a robust figure and dense body hair, much like a bear.
He did not mind being mistaken for a bear since he assud the identity of a bear clan mber when he was hanging around in the White Marsh Empire.
The bear clansman would be overjoyed, rather than opposed, to Li Er’s choice.
It’s much easier to blend into the monster clan as a monster than as a human being.
“Watering,” Li Er replied while gently watering a sapling with the River God’s water.
“Is there sothing special about this tree?”
“This sapling is sothing I ca upon by chance. I had a fifth-level magician nad Lans use his ‘Identification’ skill on it, and it was determined to be the first tree of creation, also referred to as the World Tree.”
The doe girls looked at each other, baffled. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t connect this small sapling to the first tree created in the world. They reckoned this bear clansman had been deceived.
It’s well-known in the beast kingdom that, other than the roe deer tribe, the bear tribe is the most gullible.
“Unfortunately, this sapling was born too early. When it ca into existence, there was nothing but primordial chaos surrounding it. The chaotic forces suppressed its growth, keeping it small.”
“Being the World Tree, its life requirents are nothing ordinary. It needs to be nurtured with divine water bestowed by the God of the Primordial Chaotic River, only then can it sprout new buds.”
Li Er scooped a ladle of water and said, “This is the divine water given by the River God. Would you like a taste?”
Weaned for poison resistance, the doe girls were not worried about toxins. Driven by their curiosity, they all had a taste. The water was sweet and refreshing.
Though the girls wanted another sip, Li Er stopped them.
“The divine water is precious, and this is all I have. I have to reserve it for watering the World Tree.”
The doe girls found Li Er’s style of speech quite amusing, so they made a point to have a chat with him each ti they returned from the underground dungeon.
Other adventurers also took note of Li Er’s actions.
In no ti, tales of a strange man watering a tree near the underground dungeon spread. The news was shared around for a good chuckle.
No one took the tales seriously, until one day, the dungeon was overrun with monsters that surged towards the nearest city.
This event sent chills down the spines of all three clans and was known as the Surge of Darkness.
anwhile, Li Er continued to water the World Tree sapling regularly, just as Jiang Li had instructed, unmoved by the chaos.
