Chapter 370: Water source disappears, spiritual energy dries up
Xiao Qianchuan and his group left in a hurry, and the people watching at the game pool dared to slowly approach.
Half of the man on the ground had turned into a withered vine and he had fainted.
Seeing this, the man's companions immediately surrounded him. Some hurriedly checked his injuries, while others angrily glared in the direction where the group left.
The man showed no signs of waking up, so the men cursed and carefully carried him to the Night God's palace.
Xiao Qianchuan followed everyone all the way to the lotus pond. When he looked up, he was shocked by the scene before him.
This was quite different from the holy land of the first world with clear water and fragrant grass in his memory.
The clear blue pond that could give birth to the golden lotus was a sight that amazed the entire eighteen worlds of heaven and earth back then!
But now the water in the pond has dried up, and the mud at the bottom has dried up and cracked. The beautiful scenery is gone, and the people who enjoyed it with me are gone too.
There was only a half-opened burnt yellow lotus left in the huge lotus pond, without any leaves, only a thin stem standing straight.
Xiao Qianchuan felt disappointed and confused.
When he left the Nine Heavens Temple, he cut off the water of the Milky Way in the Nine Heavens.
But after going to Jiuyuan, he continued to divert water to fill the lotus pond in the first heaven. First, he did not want to completely cut off the water supply of the Nine Heavens and bring inconvenience to the gods, and second, he could not bear to see the new lotus in the pond die of drought due to lack of water.
Even though he encountered heaven's punishment in the end, Xiao Qianchuan filled the lotus pond before Jiuyuan was completely sealed, leaving enough water for the Ninth Heaven.
With this pool of Xiao water, combined with the Cloud Fairy's magic of gathering clouds into rain, the lotus pond would never dry up if it were to repeat over and over again. The Divine Realm would never be in its current state.
But everything in front of him now made Xiao Qianchuan unable to understand no matter what.
"Hurry up! It's too late."
Everyone got busy.
Xiao Qianchuan asked, "Do you need help?"
The people around him had no time to pay attention to him.
The girl named Xiaolian could no longer maintain her human form halfway through the journey and turned into a pink lotus bud about to bloom.
Mu He held the lotus bud in his arms and jumped over the fence into the lotus pond in two or three steps. Several people nearby immediately rolled up their sleeves and quickly dug at the bottom of the dry pond with their bare hands.
There were already many pits of varying depths and sizes on the cracked soil at the bottom of the pond. This time they dug in several places, but all they dug out were dry and hard lumps of earth.
The last few people were so tired that they fell to the ground and looked at Mu He in despair.
"No! The bottom of the lotus pond is completely dry. Not to mention water, even mud can't be dug out."
"What should we do? Xiaolian..."
A man wiped his face, looking dejected.
Xiao Qianchuan looked at everyone in confusion, pointed at the wilted pink lotus in Mu He's arms and asked.
"You want to plant her here?"
"Do you need my help?"
Everyone looked up and realized that Xiao Qianchuan had followed them without them knowing when, and they didn't know how long he had been looking up there.
They suddenly felt ashamed. Everyone present was a congenital spirit, but they were still so useless that they couldn't even protect their companions. What could Xiao Qianchuan, a newly promoted mortal, do?
Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.
Mu He's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, he was anxious but helpless.
"This child was originally a lotus flower. She can only be revived by being planted in the lotus pond where she was born. However..."
Xiao Qianchuan nodded, and understood. "But now that the lotus pond has become like this, how can it still provide a place for Xiaolian to survive?"
Hearing this, Mu He lowered his head and said hesitantly, "If we dig a few feet deeper and put in some spiritual stones and spiritual soil, we can barely keep Xiao Lian alive for a few more days."
But now, they really have no choice.
Mu He gently stroked the pink lotus in his arms. A stream of spiritual power overflowed from his palm and carefully wrapped around the outer layer of the flower bud to maintain a glimmer of life.
Now he could only use up his little remaining spiritual energy and try his best to keep Xiaolian's soul alive.
"Wife... no no... Xiao Shen, I'm sorry! I let you run into this kind of thing as soon as you get here."
Mu He inserted the pink lotus in his hand into the cracked soil beside the rhizome of the half-opened burnt lotus, and then he realized that he had caused trouble for the other party, and said sullenly with his head down.
"I was too impulsive just now, causing you to stand up for me and offend Teng Xian. After I settle Xiaolian, I will go and apologize to Teng Xian."
Xiao Qianchuan shook his head, "No need! This matter started because of me, and it was clearly you who came forward to protect me."
Mu He gritted his teeth and carefully controlled the fluctuation of his spiritual power, not daring to waste even a little bit of it outside. At this moment, he no longer had the energy to explain to Xiao Qianchuan.
Seeing that Mu He was struggling to hold on, the people nearby gritted their teeth, stretched out their hands and pressed on the dry soil to barely squeeze out a bit of their spiritual power.
More and more people joined in, and more than a dozen mixed spiritual powers poured into the ground, but only moistened a small handful of soil at the roots of the two lotus plants.
Xiao Qianchuan stood by the pool with his brows furrowed.
"It's dangerous to consume your spiritual energy like this. Do you really think Lotus can survive in such an environment?"
Everyone understood what Xiao Qianchuan meant. The environment was so harsh that the little spiritual power they had was far from enough for Xiaolian to survive.
But what can we do?
This was the last thing they could do.
The tall, skinny man had been suppressing his grief for a long time, and after hearing what Xiao Qianchuan said, he couldn't help but burst out.
"What do you, a newcomer, know? If we had a way, would we still watch Xiaolian's sister wither?"
"Now, we can't even save her life!"
The man pointed at the half-opened burnt yellow lotus in the pond, his eyes filled with tears and turned red.
"The two sisters were originally twin lotuses. Elder sister A-Lian finally managed to transform successfully in this dry land. In order to find water for her younger sister, she accidentally ran into those bullies in the Night Palace. Those guys relied on their abundant spiritual power and backing from the backstage, and always liked to embarrass us spirits with low magic power. A-Lian was forced to take away her spiritual power for a long time, which caused serious damage to her soul and made her unable to recover."
"But misfortune always picks on the unfortunate. It's a miracle that a second lotus can take shape in this dry land. Xiaolian was born with deficiencies, and she was targeted by those greedy and shameless people. If they demand too much from her, she will sooner or later follow in her sister's footsteps."
"Everyone is in danger in this world. Creatures with low divine power are just food that the superiors can take at will. We are just banding together to survive! We only need a little spiritual energy, not too much. But no one gives us a way to survive. Sooner or later, we will be like these two sisters, completely annihilated and disappear here."
As Skinny Bamboo spoke, tears rolled down his face. His thin cheeks made his cheekbones stand out particularly well, and the tears couldn't flow far before they couldn't hold back and were about to fall.
"Make way, here it comes!"
He shouted and pushed aside the people surrounding the lotus, and quickly moved his face closer.
The man lowered his head, stretched his neck, and looked a little funny as he cried and laughed at the same time.
However, Xiao Qianchuan understood the other party's intention.
Nowadays, tears are also an extremely precious water resource here.
The thin bamboo pole did not waste a single drop of tears, and all of them fell on the flower stems.
"The spiritual energy of the divine realm has been depleted to such an extent, and the sentient beings in the First Heaven are having such a hard time. Isn't there anyone from the Nine Heavens Temple who can come down to take care of it?"
No one answered Xiao Qianchuan's question, as if they had already given up hope and were unwilling to bring it up again.
Xiao Qianchuan looked at Mu He and saw that he had withdrawn his spiritual power, and his expression began to improve a little.
"Does the Sun God know that the lotus pond has dried up?"
Mu He sighed and said, "The water in this lotus pond was taken away by Sunshine God to supply the Nine Heavens."
"What?" Xiao Qianchuan was shocked and shook his head repeatedly.
"He is the chief of all gods, the sun god who shines upon all living beings!"
Mu He didn't dare to comment on what the Sun God did, and could only explain the current situation in the divine realm to Xiao Qianchuan.
"The divine realm is not as beautiful as you imagined. After the water source disappeared, the spiritual energy here became increasingly scarce. The more powerful the divine power, the more resources they possess."
Mu He sighed and laughed at himself.
"There are countless useless fairies like me, and hundreds of low-powered spirits like Xiaolian die every day."
Suddenly realizing that his words were too harsh and fearing that they might scare people, Mu He quickly tried to make amends.
"But you shouldn't worry. After all, you were personally brought into the Ninth Heaven by Lord Tiandao, and he personally gave you a divine oracle to confer you the title of a true god. Your future is bound to be limitless."
Xiao Qianchuan wanted to retort, "Maybe not," but Mu He didn't give him a chance to interrupt and continued talking on his own.
"We know that we are very different from you. But we still can't help wanting to see you, just to satisfy our last wish. I hope it won't cause you any trouble."
Mu He looked up at Xiao Qianchuan, his eyes darkened, and he reminded him in a low voice.
"Before the Conferred God Ceremony, no one in the God Realm will acknowledge you as a true god. Today, those people who are looking for good help will probably come to trouble you. I will deal with them in the next two days. You must not leave the temple."
Looking into Mu He's eyes, Xiao Qianchuan saw the determination in those eyes and knew that no matter what he said, the other party would not be reassured, so he could only nod and pass it over.
"Well, thank you."
"Oh right! I've been wanting to ask you guys, don't you know what my job title is?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Mu He opened his mouth in confusion and asked, "Ah? Aren't you a true god? You only need one more deification ceremony to obtain infinite divine power?"
Xiao Qianchuan nodded helplessly, climbed over the railing with his hands and walked straight to the center of the lotus pond.
The movement was so graceful, as light as a psylocke. Everyone's eyes followed the figure, watching him get closer and closer.
Mu He's heart inexplicably began to speed up. The blood that was pumped out blocked and rushed up, making his cheeks hot and his forehead seem to be on fire.
The culprit who caused him to lose his composure was right in front of him. Mu He subconsciously took a step back, but soon stood still again.
Xiao Qianchuan stretched out his hand and stroked the two wilted lotus buds, and the next moment vast spiritual energy spread out in the lotus pond.
A steady stream of water gushed out from Xiao Qianchuan's palm, which made people stunned.
Xiao Qianchuan raised his eyebrows and looked around. Seeing that everyone around him was dumbfounded, he had no choice but to explain.
"You really haven't heard that I am the God of Water?"
