Chapter 223 To do the things of a god is to be a god.
The villagers of Baishi Village stared in disbelief at all of this.
They saw three charred and mutilated corpses that had been washed down the river by the flood.
These three snakes were not the gods of their village, but they risked their lives to save their village.
He was the Dragon King of their village, yet he wanted to take the lives of everyone in the village!
So, what exactly is God?
The people of Baishi Village don't understand!
At the same time, he was filled with rage!
If this god is useless, then we don't need him!
At the entrance of Baishi Village, the white stone in the shape of a human suddenly opened its eyes.
The heavens and earth were silent, and all things were desolate!
A figure emerged from the stone.
There was no dazzling light, no extraordinary phenomena.
It was just a figure in black who appeared naturally at the village entrance, as if he had always been there.
But the moment he appeared, time seemed to stand still.
The burning embers hung in mid-air, the flowing floodwaters froze, the villagers' tears stopped on their cheeks, and even the wind ceased to blow.
The old green dragon's smile froze on its face; it felt fear.
It is an existence that transcends all rules, causing all things in heaven and earth to instinctively submit.
The black-clad figure that suddenly appeared was unremarkable, yet it made its very soul tremble.
Let all its ferocity vanish instantly.
"Senior... Senior!" the Azure Dragon cried out almost instinctively, its voice dry and hoarse, its massive body involuntarily shrinking back.
"Little Dragon is ignorant and has disturbed the peace of your senior. Little Dragon... Little Dragon will get out of here right now, right now!"
It was terrified, completely unaware that such a terrifying being could be hiding in this remote place.
It just wanted to escape immediately, as far away as possible.
Jiang Hao glanced at it, his gaze calm.
With just one glance, the Azure Dragon felt as if it were being stared at by the entire world, and its thoughts almost froze.
Jiang Hao casually raised his hand and waved it lightly.
Like brushing away a grain of dust.
The enormous body of the Azure Dragon, along with its terrified and desperate expression, vanished silently.
It transformed into the finest specks of light, merging into the air as if it had never existed.
The Azure Dragon is not a god, but a demon!
Jiang Hao was too lazy to listen to its pleas for mercy. This kind of thing didn't need to be judged; it could simply be erased.
This azure dragon didn't know it was wrong; it knew it was going to die!
Only then did the feeling of time standing still quietly disappear.
The embers continued to fall, and tears streamed down the villagers' faces.
They blinked blankly, looking at the suddenly clear sky.
Finally, all eyes fell on the figure in black standing in front of the white stone at the village entrance.
What just happened? Where is that terrifying dragon?
Who is this man in black? Where did he come from?
The old village chief was the oldest and had more experience. He looked shakily at Jiang Hao, then at the white stone in the shape of a human figure that had stood there for who knows how many years. An unbelievable thought popped into his mind.
He knelt down with a thud, his forehead pressed against the muddy ground, his voice trembling:
"God... God, it's the Stone God! Thank you, God, for saving my life! Thank you, God, for saving my life!"
Seeing this, the other villagers, though still somewhat bewildered, also knelt down in unison, calling the gods and expressing their deepest gratitude.
Jiang Hao raised his hand and gently supported everyone.
"No need for formalities." Jiang's gaze swept over the devastated village.
The villagers felt warm all over, and their previous fatigue and fright subsided considerably.
They looked at Jiang Hao with awe, not daring to speak.
Jiang Hao waved again.
The next moment, all the villagers stared wide-eyed and gaped open.
The burned-out houses seemed to have time reversed, with broken tiles and wooden beams flying back on their own.
The charred walls were restored to their original state, and in the blink of an eye, intact houses were rebuilt.
The trampled crops in the fields straightened up and became green again.
The injured person found that their abrasions and burns healed instantly, leaving no scars.
"This...this..." The villagers were so excited that they trembled all over. Looking at their brand-new homes and then at Jiang Hao, they could hardly believe their eyes.
What's happening right now is like a miracle!
What else could this be but a deity?
This is truly divine!
Jiang Hao didn't say anything more and walked towards the river. The flood had receded a bit, and three charred snake corpses lay in the mud, almost lifeless, especially the fat third one, whose body was almost split open.
He pointed, and three soft beams of light fell into the bodies of the three snakes.
As the clear light shone through, the charred, dead skin peeled off in a soft rustling sound, revealing the newly grown scales underneath.
The broken bones were mended, and the listless spirit quickly returned to strength.
The snake leader was the first to open its eyes abruptly, springing to its feet and looking around warily: "Second brother! Third brother! Where's the evil dragon?"
The second snake also woke up. It shook its head, looked at its own unharmed, even stronger body, and then at the fat third snake slowly getting up beside it. The snake's face was full of confusion.
"We...we're not dead? Boss, where is this? The underworld is so bright?"
The third fat dog was the last to wake up. It sat up groggily and rubbed its eyes with its newly grown paws.
Looking at the eldest and second eldest snakes, he suddenly cried out and pounced on the eldest snake, hugging him tightly.
"Big brother! Second brother, this is wonderful! Even if I die, I can be with you. The three of us brothers will never be separated again!"
The snake boss was startled by the hug, then felt the real warmth emanating from the fat third brother.
Then they looked up and saw Jiang Hao smiling at them from not far away, as well as the villagers behind Jiang Hao who were excitedly watching them.
It suddenly realized what was happening, quickly released the fat third brother, and bowed down to Jiang Hao: "Senior, did you save us? Thank you so much for saving our lives, Immortal!"
Its mind worked quickly, and it immediately realized that the person in front of it was an unimaginable power.
The second and third snakes also realized what was happening and lay down as well.
Jiang Hao looked at them, especially at the third fat man's simple and honest expression, and found it somewhat amusing. He really liked this kind of character.
"The three of you, though of humble origins, have treated the villagers with sincerity and have been willing to sacrifice yourselves to protect the community in times of crisis. You are truly commendable."
Upon hearing this, the three snakes were stunned.
The fat third brother was especially excited, his tail tip trembling: "Sir... Immortal, you won't blame us for cheating people out of their incense offerings, will you?"
"Why blame you? Doing the work of gods makes you gods." Jiang Hao looked at them, his tone calm.
"What you did in the end has already earned you the title of guardian. Today, I bestow upon you divine authority: to govern this land, to control the clouds and rain, to regulate the earth's veins, and to protect the peace of all living beings. Can you do it?"
The Chinese people have never worshipped useless gods since ancient times; the gods that the people need are those who can do things.
If you're useless, then you're not a god!
If you are useless and do nothing, why should the people worship you?
If you do what God does, then you are God in the hearts of the people!
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao made no move, and the three beams of divine light entered the foreheads of the three snakes.
