Chapter 1353 - 1353 1337 Sorry Cant Do It

Chapter 1353: Chapter 1337: Sorry, Can’t Do It! Chapter 1353: Chapter 1337: Sorry, Can’t Do It! In the wheat fields, withered yellow and the earth cracked, farmers burdened with yellow sandy soil stared at their shrunken wheat spikes, their faces revealing helplessness and despair.

After trying a series of unsuccessful measures, they finally pinned their hopes on the elusive deities.

So, the village chief invited a well-known local mage and a temple priest, and a grand rain-praying ritual began.

Unfortunately, no matter how much money the villagers spent on lavish sacrificial offerings, how tirelessly the priests danced, or how earnestly the worshippers prayed, the sky remained bright and clear, with not a cloud in sight.

“Such devout worship and prayers, won’t you respond?” In the mist-covered marsh, a youth in splendid attire gazed at the giant serpent peacefully slumbering beneath the water and asked softly.

Therefore, the serpent, imbued with spirituality and a certain dignity, suddenly woke from its sleep. Then, seeing the presence radiating immense divine light before it, it hurriedly bowed its head,

“I was unaware of Your Excellency’s descent, please forgive my transgressions!”

“Will you not make it rain now?”

Your Excellency, you overestimate me. With the weather like this, I don’t have the power to bring the heavy rain they require.”

The serpent, its body pure white and its scales as smooth and round as jade, sheepishly answered. It was indeed the object of the villagers’ sacrificial rain prayers, a deity of the marsh.

“If you give it your all, you still can.”

“But if I really do that, then I would revert to the ignorant wild snake I once was.” The serpent, flicking its long, slender tail, cautiously replied.

“Unwilling, huh? That’s right; the effort wouldn’t be worth the reward. That is the logical choice.” Muria nodded.

“Your Excellency, if you have any demands, this lesser deity is willing to do its utmost to satisfy them.” The serpent, seeing Muria’s demeanor, suddenly became flustered. Although it was unclear about Muria’s background, the divine light around Him undoubtedly revealed His identity. What it meant to encounter a deity who could wander freely was self-explanatory; certainly something the serpent should look up to.

“No need to strain yourself, just choose to respond to the mortals’ pleas as you see fit.”

Muria soothed the now frightened serpent and then His figure gradually disappeared from the sight of this minor water deity.

“Who is this mighty God? So powerful, but why have I never heard of this deity before? That doesn’t make sense!”

The serpent scratched its head with its tail, utterly unable to understand the reason. So, it quickly gave up thinking and focused its attention on the nearby mortals’ sacrifices.

After a brief hesitation, it chose to forgo collecting the offerings and responding to the prayers, feeling incapable of producing the heavy rain the mortals required.

And while the serpent considered whether it should continue sleeping, Muria had already begun to traverse what seemed to him a very special domain.

Hmm, it’s special indeed; according to Muria’s assessment, the domain he was now in was a very nice place, and if possible, he would try to conquer it peacefully.

Its uniqueness lies in the cities, towns, and villages of varying sizes that had emerged amidst the intelligent races of this domain and the temples erected therein.

In these temples, different deities, or rather some fairy-tale monsters willing to offer protection, are worshipped, and that’s what makes this place so special.

Such a scattered divine power with no Earth God system concentrated in one place, Muria had seen in the domain where his student Jiuli had risen, but the domain he was currently in was completely different.

In the sealed domain by Jiuli, where the Earth Gods fought each other like warlords, each Earth God wanted to devour and merge with those weaker than themselves.

However, the domain he was in, although also having numerous Earth Gods, saw almost no mutual conquests to strengthen themselves; it seemed a stronger presence had suppressed everything.

This was Muria’s judgment, the relationships among the Earth Gods in this domain were too peaceful, an abnormally calm setting, and the only explanation was that a supremely strong force had suppressed everything.

Although somewhat restrictive, Muria liked this environment because it was this environment that nurtured the weak spirit he encountered upon entering, which made him abandon the plan to conquer with absolute force.

Of course, not everything in this domain was good, as there were still many imperfections and ongoing issues that displeased Muria, with filth festering in the shadows untouched by sunlight.

But overall, it was really quite good; at least Muria was quite satisfied. He planned to sweep away everything in this domain that felt discordant and unsightly to him by force after gaining control of it.

…

Months drifted leisurely by in the course of Muria’s travels until one day when a swordsman who sought him out on his own initiative ended his easy and leisurely journey.

“Why couldn’t you find me a bit later? Such leisure is rare for me, and I don’t know if there will ever be a next time.”

The youth with black hair and golden pupils leisurely stood up from the dining table, stretched lazily, and looked across the street at a swordsman who was slowly approaching, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

“If you keep wandering around here aimlessly, my two sisters would go mad. But let’s not speak of them, even I can hardly stand it, given that Your Excellency is quite powerful indeed.”

The swordsman, seemingly non-existent, walked through the crowd in the bustling market and finally stood in front of Muria before carefully examining him.

“Not bad, I can’t be considered truly powerful, just mediocre, barely passable,” Muria humbly said, facing a true god in charge of divine battles; he couldn’t afford to get carried away, thinking he had everything under control.

“Your Excellency is far too modest; even on the other side of the portal, with your strength, you should be considered a formidable figure.”

“Ah, it seems my origins have been exposed,” Muria sighed in annoyance.

“Finding out about your origins isn’t difficult, given your strength; that’s the most logical explanation.”

“Oh, I see.”

“So, Your Excellency, have you had enough of looking around? If so, could you please return to your original position?”

“About that, I’m sorry to say, I cannot!”
