Chapter 384: Chapter 179: Pulling up the seedlings to help them grow? Wrong, the Local Deity of Earth is also very strong!_2

Soon, the special gas fell onto the field, sparking a shocking transformation.

The crops, originally just tender shoots, began to grow at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Their stems grew thicker and branches sprouted out incessantly.

The formerly barren fields were now blanketed in verdant shades of green.

The young seedlings seemed to have undergone a temporal jump.

"Forcing their growth?" Xu Youping’s eyes widened, "Could it be this kind of spell? But... this spell only makes the crops seem to grow faster, they don’t actually yield any fruit!"

Xu Youping felt that only the phrase "Forcing their growth" could explain what he was seeing.

Upon hearing this, Qi Qi couldn’t help but be startled.

Could it actually be this kind of unconventional, agriculture-related divine power?

Agriculture by name, but heretical in nature.

However, what happened next in the field completely dispelled her earlier doubts.

The crops that seemed to have their growth forced were actually bearing fruit.

In just a matter of moments, wheat and rice had filled the fields, presenting a golden landscape that resembled a sea of gold.

The branches were laden with rich, ripe growth.

The yield was even more abundant than the normal... by many folds.

"It’s not forcing their growth! What exactly is going on?" Xu Youping caught a handful of rice and stared at it, increasingly unsettled. "What kind of divine skill is this? What deity are you contemplating?"

A glance revealed that the previously young crops had matured... directly.

More than that, the yield had even doubled!

Either piece of news would have been shocking in its own right, but here they were combined.

This was just... outrageous.

"This divine skill is called Heaven and Earth Communication, and the deity I’m contemplating is known as the Local Deity of Earth." There was no reason to hide this, and the attendant Xiao Xue hastily responded.

"Local Deity of Earth?" Xu Youping muttered the name, looking utterly bewildered. "How could there be such a True God? Why have I never heard of them?"

He was the third highest-ranking person in charge of agriculture in Shisha Town.

He was well-versed in the deities related to agriculture.

Yet, he had never even heard of this Local Deity of Earth!

If they were only slightly influential in agriculture, that would be one thing.

But it seemed that this so-called Local Deity of Earth... might be on par with the esteemed Youlong.

How could he have not heard of such an important figure?

Xu Youping was at a loss: "Is this divine skill... a one-time thing?"

If that were the case, he could understand.

He looked at the attendant Xiao Xue, who appeared somewhat drained.

"Um... I’ve exhausted a lot of energy." Xiao Xue admitted, "I need to eat a whole pig to recover and use it again!"

Xu Youping: "..."

Qi Qi: "..."

In the temple, Qi Yuan looked on curiously.

He looked at the God Observation Law in his hand, which was still shimmering with a golden glow.

"This God Observation Law seems to grant the ability to contemplate other people as well.

However... the effect might be less efficient than Xiao Xue’s.

But... it’s acceptable."

Qi Yuan thought it was about time for a Local Deity of Earth to be established in his village.

The Local Deity of Earth didn’t just manage agriculture, but also protected local stability.

More impressively, they seemed to have incredibly sharp ears, knowing about any changes in the wind or movement in the grass.

In "Journey to the West," Sun Wukong would always seek information from the Local Deity of Earth when something happened.

...

Shisha Town.

With a heavy heart, Xu Youping returned to the town.

Upon return, he immediately headed to the temple.

"I pay my respects to the Deity!" he said.

The deity of Shisha Town was named Ruoyu and belonged to the pinnacle level of divine beings in the Purple Mansion.

Ruoyu donned white robes, with a feather inserted on his head. His eyes were somewhat sunken, giving an impression of fatigue.

"Have you seen the ancient god of Qing Shui Village?" Ruoyu asked.

At present, apart from Shisha Town, almost every other town and its subordinate villages succumbed to the new gods.

The Origin Celestial of Qing Shui was an exception, who had killed several new gods and was quite conspicuous in the surrounding area.

It could be said that many deities have noticed him.

Nevertheless, since Qing Shui Village is under the jurisdiction of the Crazy Wind Town, other powerful new gods did not make a move against the Origin Celestial.

"I didn’t see him, but...today...something utterly outrageous happened!" Xu Youping used the term "utterly outrageous" to describe it.

"Oh?" This sparked some interest in Ruoyu.

Xu Youping then relayed the incident to Ruoyu.

Upon hearing this, Ruoyu’s eyes filled with wonder: "A deity more powerful than Youlong who holds sway over agriculture? Strange, how have I not heard of them?"

His memory prior to death had been restored.

He had never heard of such a deity.

"If this person comes to our Shisha Town, I’m confident our grain production would increase multiple folds every year. We wouldn’t have to worry about people starving!" said Xu Youping excitedly.

Ruoyu nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

However, his heart was not filled with much excitement.

Even if agricultural yield improves drastically, even if it has increased tenfold, or a hundredfold, what difference would it make?

It wouldn’t change the overall situation.

At present, the threat from the six other towns was imminent.

The ancient deity had not shown up for a long time.

The entire Flying Wilderness City was in turmoil.

Only military power was the key to changing the situation.

Qing Shui village might have a good harvest, and might stockpile lots of grain.

But if the evil god Shuwolf of the Crazy Wind Town made a move, wouldn’t these things end up in Shuwolf’s hands?

"What do you think of Origin Celestial?" Ruoyu asked.

"That ancient god must have held a high position in the ancient times.

He has now produced two God Observation Laws, which seem to be rare and precious."
