Chapter 468: Chapter 315 Turtle Soldier Turtle General
"Emperor of Heaven... resurrected me? Not only the few of us, but no soldier died?" Inspector Li inhaled sharply, his face turning pale green, his eyes as wide as brass bells.
Even for a moment, he couldn’t grasp what "Emperor of Heaven" actually meant...
Could it be an Emperor from one of the Floating Mountains?
With so many Floating Mountains in the Mountain and Sea Realm, there seemed to be no such person.
It was not until his colleagues mentioned a night when suddenly the sun rose that Inspector Li, like waking from a dream, realized that "Emperor of Heaven" was the title of a native deity.
But this title was no small matter.
That was a deity of the "Heaven" level—never before seen in the Mountain and Sea Realm, such a powerful being who resurrected them all in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, the bones of the two thousand soldiers would have turned to corpse water and been drained dry by mosquitoes.
"Is what you say really true?" Inspector Li’s voice trembled, a great terror between life and death, the sweat on his forehead rolling off like soybeans to the ground.
"Of course, it is true." The Scholar, Ding Zhijing, stepped forward, "The deities of the Floating Mountains can resurrect the dead. The Emperor of Heaven naturally has this ability."
In ancient times, there was a Saint named "Gun," a pioneer in water control who, to save the people from dire straits, ventured alone and stole the magical "Rest Soil" to remedy the flooding. Three years after Gun’s death, his body did not decay. When they cut open his belly, a yellow dragon emerged, that was Yu the Great.
Some also said that it was "Gun" who resurrected and transformed into the yellow dragon.
This legendary tale was widely known in the Mountain and Sea Realm, proving indeed that deities of the Floating Mountains could reincarnate and resurrect the dead.
However, no matter what, resurrection was an extremely difficult task; resurrecting one or two people was already hard, let alone a mass resurrection which was unimaginable.
"The art of resurrection for the Emperor of Heaven is effortless, insignificant. But you are all merely ordinary mortals, not saints, this resurrection may have shortened some of your lifespans."
Ding Zhijing added some of his conjectures, leaving the officers baffled.
"That... makes some sense."
After a while, they recovered from their shock, compared their appearances, and indeed they looked older. Wrinkles appeared at the corners of their eyes, and their skin on the hands became rougher.
Inspector Li sat down heavily, drenched in sweat, and said, "Being alive after falling into the villain’s trap is already fortunate enough, losing some lifespan... is nothing, in such a vast Mountain and Sea Realm, how many can meet a good end?"
"Better to live poorly than to die well."
Another inspector, somewhat disheartened yet relieved after surviving, said, "Yes, if I had died, how would my family get by?"
This fact was soon accepted by everyone.
Ding Zhijing continued, "The Emperor of Heaven not only can resurrect the dead, but more importantly adheres to the ’Six Paths of Reincarnation’ rules, specifically for judging the karma of deities. True Gods join the ranks of immortals, while Evil Gods endure torturous fires and chilling colds."
"After the Water Ghost King was judged, day and night he splits mountains and lays stones, assisting in paving the road; the road from Qingshi Town to Lake Entrance was laid by the Water Ghost King."
"And the Great Mother Turtle protects a territory, ranked among immortals."
Saying this, he could not help but feel proud; there were Evil Gods serving sentences in Qingshi Town.
When they first found the Water Ghost King paving the road, everyone was shocked. But soon, the people of Qingshi Town got used to it, the Water Ghost King only appeared at night and not during the day. A native deity helping to pave the road at night accelerated the progress immeasurably!
However, in the ears of Inspector Li and the others, a deity capable of judging other deities made them shiver, their minds blank.
They didn’t harbor much doubt since resurrection was a fact. The immense suffering from being harmed by villains and drained by mosquitoes was clear in their minds, thus they harbored no skepticism.
They simply reacted excessively to the "Heaven" level deity—just the rank of Great Mother Turtle itself was enough for these ordinary soldiers to worship reverently.
At this moment, their minds stopped thinking.
But soon, a more astute inspector realized the implications his eyes widening—this could overthrow the court!
Would a "Heaven" level deity accept a title from the court?
Of course not, the greatest deity of Kunlun Mountain, West King, was just a "King."
Who ever heard of a "King" granting a title to "Heaven"? That’s a joke.
They are "Heaven," ready to bring West King for trial!
If this is not rebellion, what is?
But then again, with such a solid "leg" to cling to, what was there to fear? Fenghua City itself was a backwater, not even atop a Floating Mountain. With the saying "Imperial power does not extend into the villages," and a "leg" to cling to, they soon resolved to pledge loyalty to the Emperor of Heaven.
"The Emperor of Heaven has his own plans, doesn’t need incense and offerings, nor does he require your loyalty," this time it was Li Qingshan who spoke. He cleared his throat and spoke softly, "The Emperor of Heaven only wishes to change the chaos in the Mountain and Sea Realm, to reverse its order. We strive to achieve this goal."
