Once the road appears, there is no need to make difficult choices anymore.
However, we have been delayed for a long time, and we must move forward quickly in order to replenish the food before it runs out.
People all over the mountains and plains have boarded their cars again, and the convoy is rolling forward like a long queue.
On one side of the road that was separated by invisible forces, the river calmed down because it stopped flowing.
On the other side, the water wall piled up higher and higher, and after reaching a certain height, it stopped.
"Didi, didi."
The driver honked his horn and drove along this golden avenue filled with sunshine.
Because it wasn't raining, many cars had their awnings opened like windows.
At this moment, those people sitting in the car looked through the "window" at the high wall of water imprisoned by invisible forces.
There was a lot of discussion.
This feeling is like driving on the edge of a cliff, with a sense of crisis and tension that will be flooded in the next moment.
However, when people raised their heads and looked at the figure in white walking at the front of the team, their hearts calmed down.
"Don't be afraid! The Prophet will protect us!"
Someone is comforting other companions.
prophet.
This is their name for Cheng Lin.
No one knew Cheng Lin's name, so he always needed a codename.
When people all over the mountains and plains were inspired by Cheng Lin, they almost unanimously thought of the title "prophet" from the bottom of their hearts.
It was quickly promoted and became a unified code name.
"Why do you call him a prophet? What happened?"
Although there were many people who saw that great scene at that time, they were only tens of thousands of people. Most of the millions of people in the transfer team had no idea what happened.
All they knew was that at first, some people around them attacked him angrily, asking for an explanation.
Later, when they came back, their faces were filled with adoration and joy.
When someone asked, the first tens of thousands of believers who were summoned by Cheng Lin would tell the people in the car what happened with unusually adoring expressions.
"At that time, everyone was helpless and faced a desperate situation. The director of the Second Division was in despair and cried bitterly. The soldiers and practitioners were in mourning and looked desperate...
At this moment, the Prophet stood up!
His body exuded a holy radiance that shone brightly on the earth, and there was a look of compassion on his face.
He told us, don't be afraid, there is a way to survive in desperate situations, God has mercy on the world.
As long as we are pious and hopeful, let love fill our hearts.
Then the power of the great soul will come and help us get out of the desperate situation...
His voice was majestic and sacred, inspiring us all.
After that, he picked up a branch and looked at the river!
Suddenly, the river rolled, and this avenue to the sky appeared, and we were able to survive!"
Believers preached this miracle devoutly, but after all, people were influenced by modern society, especially in the Xia Kingdom, which was dominated by atheism. Many people suddenly expressed disbelief, doubt, and even ridicule.
Faced with this, the believers laughed it off and just pointed to the high water wall outside the window: "This is the best evidence."
When they say this, opponents often become speechless.
"Maybe he is just a stronger practitioner." Someone analyzed.
The believer immediately smiled: "Isn't a practitioner who is beyond the ninth level worthy of our respect and following?"
It has been more than 20 years since spiritual energy was revived, and people have gained a deep understanding of practitioners.
Splitting a river may be something a ninth-level expert can do, but maintaining the flow of water and opening a long road is obviously beyond the scope of the ninth-level.
A super strong man who is beyond the ninth level and invincible in the world, and is also a strong man who is willing to lead people forward in times of disaster. Isn't it worth following?
…
…
In the command car.
The director of the Second Department and a group of senior officials were sitting at the table, looking at each other.
Compared to the people who were inspired by Cheng Lin to become loyal believers, they were slightly less affected.
Although it's small, don't worry about it.
At the beginning, many of them and the general public prostrated themselves.
But when I calmed down later, I felt like something was wrong.
"Director, something is not right."
One person spoke.
The others looked at him like a fool and said to themselves: Nonsense.
Another person coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, I just sent someone to understand the situation. The people who were making trouble have completely calmed down.
I got on the bus very cooperatively. It can be said that our current crisis has been temporarily resolved.
But a new crisis emerged."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's very simple. From the information I learned, those who witnessed...
Well, there seems to be something wrong with the mental state of the people involved in this matter, as if they have been brainwashed...
Of course, my description may not be accurate.
After all, under such circumstances, it is only human nature to express admiration and gratitude to that... prophet..."
Speaking of this, many people here looked embarrassed. They were also enthusiastic before.
"But anyway, no matter what,
The result now is that some people seem to...
The prophet is regarded as a spiritual leader and is constantly preaching to the rest of the world...
This sign is very bad. Once that person raises his voice and the people respond, then we..."
He did not continue to say the rest, but everyone already understood.
Cheng Lin has many followers and they are constantly expanding.
As the official representatives... their strength was greatly reduced because all the elite forward troops were wiped out.
Faintly, the leadership of the entire transfer team seemed to have been transferred to Cheng Lin.
This is very disturbing.
"Moreover, not only the people, but also many soldiers and practitioners... seem to have become his followers." An official added.
Several people's expressions suddenly became even more ugly.
They all turned their attention to the Director of the Second Division who was sitting at the head.
But the director looked relaxed at the moment:
"I understand what you mean, and I also understand your worries, but you still have to look at the bright side in everything.
The appearance of the Great Road to Heaven eliminated the threat of millions of people starving to death, and his appearance stabilized the hearts of the entire team.
As the situation gets worse, the people's mentality becomes more and more unstable, as evidenced by the recent frequent disturbances.
I was still worried before that if the situation continued to deteriorate, there might be big trouble.
If people's hearts collapse, then it's really over. However, now... everything has changed.
Not many people saw that scene, but a single spark can start a prairie fire.
I believe that soon, his prestige will surpass ours and he will become the leader of millions of people.
In this way, with spiritual support, the danger of people's disintegration has been resolved."
This principle is very simple.
After all, when disaster strikes, people need spiritual support.
This spiritual support can be an unpredictable god.
It can also be idealistic, as small as a small group, or the struggle of a company.
It’s as big as a family, a country, or a nation.
It can also be a cult of personality, ranging from a small celebrity.
Big enough to be a leader.
…
The number of people that can be controlled by ordinary administrative means is too small.
Only spiritual means can lead millions, tens of millions, or billions of people.
They all understand this.
but……
"Director, aren't you afraid..."
An official asked tentatively.
The director of the Second Division looked at him with strange eyes and said, "What do I have to be afraid of?"
As he spoke, he stood up, walked leisurely to the "window", and looked at the high water wall outside with his hands behind his hands, his eyes showing a trace of relief and admiration for strength.
"The situation has reached this point, and the disaster will become more and more serious as expected.
The end of the world, the survival of mankind, this burden is too heavy, I can't bear it, and I don't want to bear it.
The capital is gone, your mentality needs to change,
The sky fell, and the tall man held it up. I used to think I was tall enough.
But today I discovered that I am not as strong as I imagined.
In that case, what’s wrong with being a follower?”
…
…
Tongtian Avenue.
At the front of the team.
Cheng Lin was striding forward.
The artifact, the willow branch, was scrapped after use. It turned out to be a disposable item.
But he gained new skills and tasks.
[Task Skill: Acceleration (Introduction: Can increase walking speed)]
[Congratulations on completing the task (8)]
[Task (Part 9): You have a group of followers. As a spiritual leader, you have become their pillar of support. As a leader, you should appear in people's sight as much as possible, so you decided to walk]
[In the following days, as the doomsday approaches, you will be forced to keep moving, all the way to the west, until you enter the final place, the roof of the world]
