15: The Divine Lord's Second Heavenly Tour

Cuier was tiny, with red cheeks and watery eyes, looking like a lucky doll.

The people around her, however, looked at her with a hint of reverence.

Because this little doll was the Priest chosen by Lord Divine Dragon!

“Brother...!”

Cuier called out joyfully.

Under the surprised gazes of others, Cuier pounced directly onto Yu Mengzhang, affectionately rubbing her cheek against him.

“???”

Everyone was stunned.

Looking up at Yu Mengzhang's beautiful face, they suddenly understood.

Oh~ No wonder!

Yu Mengzhang smiled slightly and rubbed Cuier's head.

The Village Chief looked a bit anxious and whispered, “Be careful... Mengzhang, she is a Priest of the Divine Dragon Hall...”

Despite Cuier's young age, since she had become a Priest, things were different than before.

It was like family seniority; during the New Year, as long as the seniority was there, even a child would receive greetings and bows from Elders of lower seniority.

Of course, the surrounding villagers were not yet that strict.

In their eyes, Yu Mengzhang was also just a child.

Being young and affectionate was perfectly acceptable.

“Thank you, Brother, I like you so much...” Cuier said with a red face, mumbling softly.

The corner of Yu Mengzhang's mouth curled up slightly as he looked toward the temple.

A golden light suddenly appeared from the azure temple, illuminating the night as it flew toward them.

“Ah!!! A miracle! Lord Divine Dragon has manifested a miracle again!”

“Thank you, Lord Divine Dragon!”

“We are all grateful to you for giving us rain...”

“...”

After a brief moment of shock, the villagers all knelt down, their faces full of piety, praying their gratitude.

In the dense crowd, only Yu Mengzhang and Cuier did not kneel.

They watched the rotating ball of light in the air, within which was the shape of a dragon.

“Mengzhang, kneel down...”

The Village Chief was worried sick.

Lord Divine Dragon was revealing a miracle once more.

Even if the divine nature was merciful, they couldn't just stand by and watch coldly, could they?

“...” Yu Mengzhang naturally would not kneel.

That was clearly something he had created... The golden light circled above the crowd's heads and then dove down toward Yu Mengzhang.

The golden light engulfed Yu Mengzhang, surrounding his entire figure.

Divinity permeated the air; this was also Karma protecting his body.

The crowd's gaze toward Yu Mengzhang gained an extra layer of respect.

Just as Mortals worship a Saint of great Karma, they naturally feel gratitude and reverence; that was the perception they now had of Yu Mengzhang.

The light gradually dissipated, revealing Yu Mengzhang's figure.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Mengzhang.

Looking at those pious Believers, Yu Mengzhang said calmly, “From this day forward, I am the Priest of the Divine Dragon Hall. The deity's name is the Azure Dragon, the God of the East. It is said...”

“Among the Heavenly Gods, none are more noble than the Azure Dragon; some call it Tianyi, others call it Taiyin. Where the Azure Dragon resides, one must not turn their back but must face it; where the Big Dipper strikes, one must not oppose it.”

As Yu Mengzhang spoke, the crowd was incredibly pious but did not understand the meaning.

They only knew that Lord Divine Dragon had approved of this temple and designated Yu Mengzhang as the High Priest.

But as for the long speech Yu Mengzhang gave afterward, they didn't understand a single word!

The Village Chief's face turned red as he whispered, “Mengzhang, could you explain it to us? We barely know how to read...”

“...”

Yu Mengzhang fell silent for a moment before speaking, “Among the Heavenly Gods, the most noble is the Azure Dragon, also known as Tianyi or Taiyin. The area corresponding to where Taiyin is located must not be defied, but only followed. The nation corresponding to the area where the handle of the Big Dipper points cannot contend with it.”

“!!!”

The villagers' breathing quickened. Although they still didn't quite understand, they grasped a few key points.

Lord Divine Dragon is the most powerful!!!

No person or nation can defy his commands!

“Long live Lord Divine Dragon!!!”

“Lord Divine Dragon saves us from suffering!!!”

“...”

Shouts filled with emotion rang out one after another.

Like a mountain tsunami.

“...” Yu Mengzhang shook his head slightly. His Karma had not increased, but his Dragon Qi was becoming more abundant!

He now somewhat understood that Dragon Qi was not just his own temperament, but also the recognition of all living beings.

And Karma was the recognition of Heaven and Earth, acknowledging him as the most noble of Heavenly Gods!

After a moment, Yu Mengzhang pressed his hand down and said, “Alright, that is enough. To show reverence to the God of the East, you may kneel and pray where you are; there is no need to wait until evening.”

Yu Mengzhang's words carried nobility, and no one dared to disobey.

One by one, they kowtowed and prayed toward the temple.

Cuier giggled, her large eyes full of admiration.

Yu Mengzhang lightly tapped Cuier's forehead.

A golden light flashed by.

At the same time, the voices of these people's prayers all echoed in Yu Mengzhang's mind.

Most of them hoped that Yu Mengzhang could bring rain again to resolve the great drought.

Others hoped to save their crops.

Because of the recent water shortage, the crops were not growing well.

He specifically listened to the Village Chief's prayer.

“...Respected God of the East, please protect Mengzhang, he is a good child. Also, if you could look after the crops, we will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of our lives...”

...In the evening, Yu Mengzhang stayed with the villagers in a nearby village.

Some villagers remained around the temple to keep watch for the night.

While patrolling, they actually caught a “little thief” with ill intentions.

They pinned him to the ground and questioned his purpose.

“Open your eyes and look! I am Zhang San! Steal your things? What are you thinking?”

Zhang San was a lackey of the nearby Earl.

“What are you doing here? What bad intentions do you have? Are you trying to ruin our land? Or the temple?” the villagers pressed.

Zhang San climbed up from the ground and said coldly, “Our Earl's fief has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, why would he care about yours? Your crops are about to wither and die, yet...”

“Brother Wang, he has a Fire starter in his pocket...”

A voice suddenly rang out.

The villagers exploded upon hearing this, instantly understanding Zhang San's purpose.

This bastard was truly rotten to the core.

He actually wanted to burn down their temple!

“Beat him! Beat him until smoke comes out!”

At the foot of the mountain where the Clear Sky Sect lived in seclusion, three figures quietly appeared.

Two men and one woman; they were precisely the three Titled Douluo sent by Spirit Hall.

“The Supreme Pontiff shouldn't have abided by that ridiculous agreement. If you ask me, we should have just wiped them all out!”

Spirit Kite Douluo said coldly.

Chrysanthemum Douluo shrank his neck and moved closer to Ghost Douluo.

This woman had more masculine energy than he did.

He had to rely on Old Ghost.

Spirit Kite Douluo gave them a cold look; although her Soul Power was inferior to theirs, it was as if she were the leader.

“The rumors of some deity appearing here are purely hearsay. The Supreme Pontiff already told me it's impossible for it to be a god. So, I think we can go see it directly and find out what it is!”

“Maybe not?” Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned.

“If you're afraid, I'll act alone. I don't need you. Some men you are...”

Spirit Kite Douluo curled her lip, looking down on the two of them.

“...”

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were both somewhat speechless.
