Chapter 1328: Chapter 1176: Descent of the Divine (Part 2)

Although if this matter were to happen to anyone else, they wouldn’t believe it, but placed before Lin Yi, they had no choice but to believe.

Firstly, this is because Lin Yi’s appearance is absolutely different from theirs. Having lived here all their lives, they have never seen anyone like him. Moreover, the feat of summoning water with a mere lift of his hand is something only an Immortal could achieve.

Furthermore, the sudden act of flying into mid-air is not something humans can do. At the very least, even the chief of their tribe could not accomplish such a feat.

After kneeling down, the men muttered prayers continuously under their breath.

The women and children in the room, hearing the noise from outside and seeing the actions of the men, were momentarily stunned, then quickly came out and knelt behind the men, bowing to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi did not refuse nor did he intend to have them rise; after all, at this moment, he had to put on a convincing act. If he showed any unusual behavior now, they might not take him seriously. Thus, Lin Yi waved his hand in the air, and suddenly, rain poured down upon the crowd.

This scene immediately excited everyone.

One by one, they knelt and roared at the sky, howling with faces full of joy.

It showed that this was their way of expressing excitement.

Of course, this rain wasn’t given by the heavens but was an artificial rain created by Lin Yi, only placed in the air to freely fall down.

During this time, Lin Yi controlled the volume of water and restricted the area, only letting the rain fall above their heads.

After all, transporting water here is extremely precious.

Even a round trip would take more than half a day, so Lin Yi did not plan to waste too much. All he needed to do was demonstrate enough to make them believe he was a god.

As expected, the people below believed he was an Immortal, kneeling and cheering, until Lin Yi’s voice gently drifted into their ears:

"Rise, my people."

After saying this, the rain in the sky vanished with another wave of Lin Yi’s hand.

At the same time, he floated down gracefully, landing in front of the crowd, who then pressed their foreheads seemingly into the ground.

The humble expressions, the humble demeanor, were self-evident.

After all, Lin Yi had become their god.

Following this, Lin Yi naturally received the highest treatment, not only being invited into the best house in the tribe but also served excellent food.

Yet Lin Yi felt helpless inside, for the best house was inferior to even a rural pigsty from his childhood, much worse indeed.

Moreover, the food from the trees disgusted Lin Yi.

It was devoid of color, gray and black, emitting a very unpleasant odor.

If not for seeing the group of children beside him drooling eagerly, Lin Yi might’ve thought these people were intentionally trying to mess with him.

But upon reconsideration, he felt at ease.

These people live here and can’t grow crops, relying solely on the sky and a small oasis behind them.

Finding food in such an environment is already quite difficult, so what’s there to be picky about? Thus, Lin Yi looked at the mushy stuff before him without feeling much.

But eating it himself was clearly unrealistic; he believed it would make him suffer painfully.

Under the eager and chaotic gaze of the men below, staring intently, as if not eating would make them uncomfortable, after all, he provided them with Holy Water, he was their god, and they offered him the best food they could get, but if their god didn’t try it, it would imply their god looked down on them.

Faced with such a gaze, Lin Yi felt helpless, wanting to refuse directly but feared hurting their feelings.

After all, they are still people, though living primitively akin to cavemen, their personalities are simple.

But him actually eating it was impossible.

Thus, with a wave of his hand, bags of rice appeared before the crowd.

Then Lin Yi’s voice sounded:

"Take this out and boil it with water."

Seeing the large sacks Lin Yi suddenly produced, everyone fell to the ground, bowing fervently to Lin Yi.

They had grown accustomed to this manner, each time the deity bestowed something, they would certainly express gratitude.

But after hearing the deity’s words, they were instantly dumbfounded, each looking at the sacks before them, their joyful expressions turning somewhat fearful, leaving Lin Yi momentarily stunned, not understanding their reaction.

After some questioning, Lin Yi finally understood that they were frightened upon hearing the food needed to be boiled with water.

Now, their yearning for water was as strong as for food.

Thus, it was said, at present, they couldn’t waste a drop of water, boiling food with water was unrealistic, impossible—they simply couldn’t bear doing so, since water was too precious, and after heating, much would be lost.

Regarding this, Lin Yi was also quite helpless.

This could not be changed in a short time; their thoughts were fixed, their habits ingrained, in their cognition water was not to be wasted, hence their resistance to cooking food with water.

But for Lin Yi currently, water was not particularly precious.

Thus, he spoke to the crowd:

"Rest assured, my people, since I am here, you will no longer worry about water.

Although water should not be wasted, basic use is fine. So, do you have a large container for holding water?"

Lin Yi asked this because he wanted to place water before them, letting them see a large amount of water so they’d feel at ease.

Thinking to dig a small water pit here to contain it but reconsidered and dismissed the idea.

As most of this area was desert, even the soil underfoot was quite poor, given its dryness, even if all his water were released, much would seep into the ground.

The water might not be enough to saturate, and soon would disappear entirely, also he dismissed this idea and had them find containers.

Upon hearing the god’s words, people no longer cared if the god ate the food they offered, running outside instead.

Soon enough, men, women, and children returned carrying various oddly shaped containers.
