Chapter 1166 - 918: Creating a New World by “Scavenging” in the Void (Part 2)
When the Immortal manifested and struck down the wicked with thunder, Shuiwang finally felt vindicated. When he married you all, I was against it, but I was too old, and he wouldn’t listen to reason.
Although Shuiwang often said it was so I could have many great-grandchildren, I knew he was just being greedy and even wanted all the women in the village to bear his children.
Shuiwang never considered what would happen if all the newborn babies were his. Would they marry their siblings in the future? He always said that the future was uncertain, the descendants would have their fortunes, and he should enjoy life while he could."
Growing increasingly angry, the old Priest looked at the four young women who were sobbing and comforted them: "After all, life in the new world will be much better than before, so there’s no need to worry.
In the future, when you have children, leave them with me. You’re all still young. You should find the one you love and remarry. As long as there is fertile land, there will be food and drink. After going through great disasters, life will surely get better day by day!"
"The old lady is right." Yun Shu, who had been dispatched by Jiang Yuan into the Riverfront Village instance, heard this and smiled: "Since my master has brought you all here, he won’t let you go hungry or cold.
You can follow the Herbal Compendium and go to the grasslands and jungles to gather herbs in exchange for supplies; you can mine various ores, hunt; and in your spare time, open up land to farm. The seeds for the first season are gifts from the master.
Don’t worry about accommodation, either. The master will provide tents for you to stay in temporarily. The old village chief will allocate plots of land for you, and those who are able can cut trees and build houses; those who are elderly, weak, or sick will have help."
As she spoke, she took out steaming food, water, and clothes suitable for the temperature from her Storage Bag and called out: "Everyone, come and eat and drink your fill. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
For ordinary people, eating and drinking enough are the most important things.
When the stomach is filled with warm and delicious food, the feeling of satisfaction emerges from within, and at that moment, holding a cup of hot water while listening to the sounds of birds and flowers, the plans for the future become more concrete, and the heart is completely at ease.
In this matter, Jiang Yuan, being a mortal, had ample experience.
Especially during the often unemployed days when tomorrow seemed uncertain, every time he felt down and hopeless about the future, Yang Hongye would treat him to a bowl of six-yuan noodles with a bottle of three-yuan soda. They would sit and chat about employment and find a few reliable job listings, and life would move forward again.
Therefore, he was well-versed in comforting refugees, and he was indeed very successful.
When Yun Shu returned to report the situation, the Immortal Shuttle had already flown for quite a few minutes away from the land the system disregarded as barren. The initial rescue coordinates disappeared instantly, and a new prompt appeared in view - [Rescue coordinates explored, no longer marked. Additionally, due to insufficient Faith Value, no information can be received]
Jiang Yuan: !!!
Insufficient Faith Value?
Understood! No wonder those people were unwilling to leave, knowing the land beneath their feet was shrinking, simply clinging to wishful thinking of staying and enjoying life.
So their usual "worship" of the gods wouldn’t provide much Faith Value—it was just about freeloading. Once the truly faithful believers who believed in divine miracles left, those pretenders were directly abandoned by the system.
Once he thought about it, it all became clear—the true believers in gods also believe in miracles.
Especially since Yun Shu, as the Guiding Envoy, explained everything clearly, those capable of providing Faith Value left;
Those left behind were just the opportunists, and even if they were forcibly brought to Riverfront Village, they’d end up being rejected, possibly even causing harm to the natives in the Human World.
"Everyone has their own fate, and as adults, they must bear the responsibility for their choices." He sighed softly, continuing to make his paper Gundam model.
Tang Qin was puzzled but knew not to ask too much. Besides controlling the Immortal Shuttle to speed forward, she would gaze at the scenery or practice cultivation when free;
Ling Di and Yun Shu, occasionally dispatched into the Riverfront Village instance by Jiang Yuan to help, weren’t bored either.
Time began to blur, and before long, a new world fragment appeared in view again.
When Jiang Yuan requested a stop, Tang Qin confirmed his purpose for this trip was these fragments, evidently knowing long before the coordinate of those fortunate ones awaiting rescue.
To be aware of events even in the vast Void and to pinpoint locations with such precision, the master was indeed impressive!
Standing beside the Immortal Shuttle was the great expanse of black mountains, where the fierce winds rushed through the mountain valleys, creating sharp, whistling sounds.
[The Great Black Mountain, rich in Black Flame Sand and Obsidian Essence, is home to a tenacious and united community of mortals]
Upon seeing this detail, Jiang Yuan suddenly recalled a "strange event" from spring—out of desperation for Obsidian Essence to complete a charitable order, he ended up with three additional bonus rewards.
Since then, there were occasionally charitable orders with Obsidian Essence as bonus rewards, which seemed odd as the system hadn’t provided any details for viewing.
Now the mystery was solved: it must be these Void refugees living within the Great Black Mountain who offered the Obsidian Essence they mined as tributes to the gods!
[Detected Land Without Master, you may choose to merge with the Riverfront Village instance and accept surviving refugees from the Land Without Master. Merge and absorb?]
Sure enough, this time the system didn’t disdain the Great Black Mountain, for it indeed could yield valuable treasures!
"Master, the seemingly barren black mountains, do we just want the people and not the land again?" Yun Shu knew it was time for her to work and asked cheerfully how to handle this fragment.
Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "No, this time I want both the land and the people. You go and explain the situation to them."
She responded and flew out of the Immortal Shuttle.
Ling Di wagged his tail and asked: "Master, how do we transport such a large mountain back? Woof woof! What if some people don’t want to leave? Exile them on the spot?"
"Whether or not they wish to leave, they will have to. The circumstances now are different from before. The previously encountered dried-up land was too barren; but this mountainous area spanning hundreds of kilometers is rich in minerals. If it drifts in the Void, it will become a buried treasure."
Jiang Yuan patiently explained: "Moreover, I am not harming them. Once they reach the new world and remain dissatisfied, they can still be sent to live in the Human World. By merging the Great Black Mountain into the new world, the mortals living there can trade mined minerals for supplies."
"Master picks up floating world fragments in the Void, piecing them together to form a new world to accept survivors..." Old Dog felt his brain hum with astonishment and exclaimed: "Isn’t this creation?"
While different from the Creation of Heaven and Earth, the master’s act of piecing back together the fractured mountains and rivers to form a new world demonstrated a compassionate heart!
Tang Qin was internally shocked upon hearing this, for the gentle and unassuming Mr. Jiang before her, without any detectable spiritual power ripple, turned out to be the Creator?
If it were not so, who else could reassemble shattered world fragments? Even a great power at the Peak of Tribulation Crossing Realm wishing to do so would find it difficult to open such a vast space?
"That’s fair." Jiang Yuan laughed: "Countless worlds have fallen apart, and the scattered fragments drift in the Void with many survivors ending up in dire straits. Instead of allowing them to be consumed into a Ghost Realm or something strange, let’s recycle them to assemble a new world—it’s a win-win!"
Seeing the master openly acknowledge this, Ling Di used his paw to wipe his mouth and secretly rejoiced at his luck in recognizing the right master by chance.
After all, within less than half a year of recognizing this master, he had advanced to the Tribulation Crossing Realm without needing to undergo Thunder Tribulation, which was a tremendous gain! Perhaps, once the master cultivates new Four Symbols Divine Beasts, he might get a chance to advance to a Divine Dog!
He happily wagged his tail, spreading his four legs open to lie on the ground, watching the spectacle.
Yun Shu found the tribe leader in the mountains and explained the situation clearly. The leader immediately offered thanks, the entire process went smoothly. She then gestured, and Jiang Yuan clicked on merge, making the vast black mountains that were previously slowly drifting in the Void disappear instantly.
"Woof! That was fast!"
"Mr. Jiang, where did you move those big mountains?" Tang Qin’s eyes didn’t dare blink, but she still couldn’t grasp what happened.
Jiang Yuan laughed: "Once Yun Shu returns, we’ll set off to the next target; for now, Miss Tang needs to control the Immortal Shuttle, so we cannot go for a visit, but once we’re back in the courtyard, I will personally take you for a look."
