Cheng Lin silently read the information in his mind.
He stood calmly beside the roaring river with his hands tied.
The surrounding scenery changed from blurry to clear.
He seemed to have taken a nap on the spot, and when he opened his eyes again, everything was different.
Not far away from him, people were standing around the team command vehicle.
All over the mountains and plains.
It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of them.
Men, women, children, the elderly...countless ordinary people jumped out of the car,
Then, under the leadership of some leaders, the command vehicle was surrounded.
The remaining lapels and soldiers formed a thin line of defense.
Blocking the surging crowd.
Those high-ranking officials were inside the defense line, loudly and hoarsely assuring the angry people:
"We will never give up on anyone!"
"We have plenty of food!
And a new path has been found!
Please trust the government!
Don’t listen to rumors and deceptions from thoughtful people!”
"Please return to your respective cars. We will set off immediately. We will definitely be able to reach the new city before dark for supplies!"
…
On the people's side, several elected leaders continued to incite people's emotions:
"Liars! They are all liars!"
"Don't listen to their nonsense! They just want to run away secretly!"
"Open the warehouse to stock up on food! We want to see the food!"
"You want to abandon us and run away! You just want to run away!"
…
The crowds were huge.
The angry scolding even suppressed the roaring waves.
The director of the Second Division stood on the roof of the command vehicle, silently looking at the endless crowd of people.
Look at those angry, disappointed, confused, helpless, and sad faces.
He seemed to have become a stone sculpture, motionless.
Only the hands hidden behind his back were clenched so tightly that the nails almost pierced the skin.
No spiritual energy fluctuations could be seen on his body, just like an ordinary man.
But inside his body, terrifying auras were gathering. The complex and brilliant aura fields were gathering and dispersing, flickering on and off, as if they were about to release monstrous rage at the next moment.
"Director... I can't stop it anymore. The situation is out of control... You... decide!"
The official next to him looked at the people with a pale face, then looked at him and whispered.
"What decision are you referring to?"
"You understand, so why do you have to ask me to say it?" The official shook his head and looked away.
What decision?
Naturally, it was the decision to take action.
Nowadays, these people gather in such a concentrated area and in such a large area.
It seems like a better goal.
As long as the Director of the Second Division makes a single thought, under the cover of ninth-grade superpowers, he is enough to kill countless people!
"Director, we can no longer hesitate.
We've been stalling for hours,
It's almost evening,
If we don't decide, everyone will die!
Will everyone die together, or only some of them?
You have to make a decision!"
The official urged again.
Is it all dead, or... only a part of it?
The Director of the Second Division's heart was up and down, and his body was trembling slightly. He slowly closed his eyes, and an extremely complex aura field around him quickly took shape. It only takes a moment for a ninth-grade superpower to be born!
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a clear female voice:
"Director! No! No!"
He opened his eyes.
Hearing the sound and looking around, he saw Qiao Ya, who was covered in mud and water among the crowd, looking at him anxiously.
Her face was pale, and there was only anxiety in her eyes.
Trapped in the crowd, like a weak waterweed.
The official glared at her angrily: "Shut up! What else can I do besides this?!"
The director's eyes showed pain.
Yes, what else can we do?
What else can be done?
"There is a way! There must be a way! That's right! Him! Him!"
Qiao Ya shouted, suddenly thinking of something, as if grasping a life-saving straw:
"He! He predicted everything! He must have a way!"
he?
who is it?
Ah, right...
The director was startled, and suddenly he remembered the mysterious young man whose face he couldn't remember, except that he was dressed in white.
Does he have a way?
How can it be?
Even so, the director still subconsciously looked for that figure.
Soon, he saw the white clothes.
Then he was slightly startled.
The young man in white is still standing by the water where they talked a few hours ago. He is not among the crowd, he is alone, and he looks very special.
At this moment, he was doing something strange. He was standing at the edge of the water, bending down and fishing out a willow root that had been washed over by the water.
Then, I saw him reaching out and breaking off one of the green willow branches at the root of the willow tree.
Then he straightened up and looked at the willow branch in his hand with a satisfied expression.
…
[Task (Part 7): The migration team is in a desperate situation. Natural disasters are not over yet, and man-made disasters are coming. You decide to do something. Suddenly, you see willow roots floating in the water. You decide to pick the best-looking branch and break it off.
】
[You have obtained "Beautiful Willow Branch"*1, grade: ordinary]
[Willow branch forging...]
[End of forging]
["Beautiful Willow Branch" is upgraded to "God's Willow Branch", grade: artifact]
[You looked at the willow branch in a daze, not understanding what was going on. After a moment, an impulse came into your heart, and you waved it towards the river]
…
There is no change in the upgraded willow branches and they still look ordinary.
But Cheng Lin himself changed.
His body began to emit a faint, soft white light.
Like holy light, it was released from his body and illuminated the dark riverside.
at the same time.
A wave of power different from spiritual energy appeared.
With him as the center of the circle, it spread very far in the blink of an eye.
That power is invisible and invisible, but even ordinary people can feel it so clearly.
That is a kind of spiritual power.
There is always that kind of power that can heal all pain.
The director of the Second Division standing on the roof of the carriage was the first to feel the arrival of this force.
His body defends itself instinctively.
However, later, he was shocked to find that the defense around him had no effect at all. The power easily broke through the defense network of his ninth-level cultivation and invaded his mind.
Silent and breathless.
Softness, warmth, and compassion seem to heal all spiritual wounds.
It's like the spring breeze turns into rain.
The destructive spiritual energy field that he was about to condense quietly dispersed.
at the same time.
He also found that the angry shouts in his ears subsided rapidly.
Those angry people suddenly seemed to feel something, and their ferocious faces calmed down.
The anger in my heart gradually extinguished.
Calm down alone.
The two of them calmed down.
…
That force is not aggressive in any way, but neither ordinary people nor high-level experts can stop its arrival.
Tens of thousands of people calmed down.
The noisy wilderness suddenly became quiet.
People turned their heads and looked towards the riverside if they were aware of it.
The figure in white.
They looked confused, not knowing what that person was going to do.
Among the crowd, Qiao Ya suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes shining with hope.
The many lapels who were protecting the command vehicle also looked over.
Many of them recognized that figure.
So he was surprised.
The director of the Second Division clenched his fists, feeling shocked and suspicious in his heart.
"What exactly is that power? How could it break through my defense?!"
"Who is he? Is he really a first-grade casual cultivator?"
"What is he going to do? What is he trying to do?"
"What...can he do?"
Countless questions were like the raging water of a raging river, surging and impacting his rock-like mind.
And at this moment.
Under the gaze of countless people.
Cheng Lin, who was emitting a faint light, only raised the ordinary willow branch with slight hesitation.
It stood still in mid-air for two seconds.
Then... he gently took a picture of the river.
Silent and breathless.
When the willow branches touch the rushing river, a vast, invisible, mysterious and majestic power quietly descends.
The raging Nu River suddenly stagnated.
Then, the Baili River seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible hands.
Take the place where the willow branches fall as the boundary.
The river water suddenly separated on both sides.
The water level in the middle dropped crazily, and in just a dozen breaths, the road that had been submerged under water was revealed again!
The river water that was forcibly separated by invisible forces piled up, rising into a wave of tens of meters high, frozen in mid-air...
The river was blocked, the surface of the earth emerged, and a road to the sky suddenly appeared in front of countless people!
Cheng Lin held the willow branch and gently dropped it.
The river is blocked.
The road reappears.
The heaven and earth were extremely silent for a moment.
This extremely shocking scene was clearly reflected in the eyes of countless people.
Countless people along the river opened their mouths and widened their eyes. They were shocked to see this miracle.
In the crowd, Qiao Ya's hand covering her mouth was shaking, and hot tears flowed from her eyes.
I shouted in my heart:
He can do it!
He really can!
Those little lapels had long forgotten their duties and were just looking at the road to the sky that emerged from the river in shock.
"This... what kind of power is this..."
"He, he is really a first-grade monk?"
"Ninth grade! He must be ninth grade?!"
They said one after another, it seemed that this was the only way to relieve their emotions.
But the Director of the Second Division, who was a solid ninth-grade expert standing at the top, murmured to himself:
"Ninth-grade? More than that... I made a mistake. We all made a mistake. He is not a first-grade casual cultivator. He is clearly a peak powerhouse far beyond the ninth grade!
There is no spiritual energy fluctuation! I can’t feel any fluctuation...
He is absolutely human...
No! This kind of great power no longer belongs to humans, it only belongs to God!
Perhaps...he is infinitely close to the legendary ascended one..."
And at this time.
Just when the Tongtian Avenue emerged.
The dark clouds in the sky opened a hole for some unknown reason.
The dazzling golden sunlight is projected from the crack, reflecting the heaven and earth into a magnificent and mysterious scene!
"It's the sun!"
"sun!"
"The sun is coming out!"
The people roared wildly!
The golden sunshine is like a blazing flame, lighting up the road to the sky separated by great force, and also lighting up the monks in white by the river.
Cheng Lin quietly felt the long-lost warmth of the sun on his body and squinted his eyes comfortably.
In the eyes of countless people on the shore, Cheng Lin, covered with golden sunshine, was like a god at this moment!
The passive skill Affinity Invocation showed its powerful power at this moment.
As if guided by some mysterious power, countless people faced Cheng Lin and knelt down devoutly!
