Chapter 331: Rain of Merit, Transcend the Calamity

Thanks to the convenience of the monks of the tribe, the human race in Jiuzhou today does not need to put any effort in reclaiming wasteland.

As long as one cultivates a little magic power, it is enough to cast agricultural magic to reclaim wasteland. What's more, there are many supporting agricultural magic, such as the spring breeze and rain magic and the seedling planting magic.

This certainly makes farming easier, but it also makes many humans lazy to a certain extent. After all, compared to all humans, human cultivators are rare.

The ratio of cultivators to ordinary people in the Jiuzhou human race is about one in ten million. In other words, only one cultivator is born among ten million human beings.

If one person is capable of solving the problems of ten million people, then ten million people will naturally become lazy.

Such laziness is what Emperor Xiao does not want to see. Heaven is vigorous, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement.

Even the most ordinary human beings, even if they cannot practice cultivation, must not forget the spirit of self-improvement.

To this end, Emperor Xiao combined the memories of later generations and created many new agricultural tools. These new agricultural tools driven by human power allowed ordinary humans without cultivation to participate in the reclamation of wasteland and labor. They were able to rely on their own hands to grow their own food.

Although doing so would not change the number of cultivators in the human race, nor would it change the output of food, it would shape the human race's spirit of self-improvement.

Such spirit and will may not be seen in ordinary times. But if one really embarks on the path of cultivation, this spirit will definitely make the human race have more geniuses.

Of course, this is all in the past.

At this moment, countless farm tools flew out and landed on the fields. Many famine-stricken and weak human races knew how to use the farm tools the moment they touched them.

They were confused at first, because in the past, cultivators came to cultivate the land. Why did they need to cultivate it themselves now?

Emperor Xiao naturally felt the confusion of countless humans, and immediately issued a thunderous voice: "Listen to all the people of Yuhang County. From now on, the rule of monks helping to reclaim land in Yuhang County will be abolished. From now on, you must rely on your own hands to reclaim the world and rely on your own feet to measure the land. Remember, your future is in your own hands. As the heavens move forward, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement."

"You need to constantly strive for self-improvement, Yuhang County also needs to constantly strive for self-improvement, and the human race needs to constantly strive for self-improvement even more. Go, rely on your own hands, and get through this drought."

Man can conquer nature. Even if there is a disaster from heaven, the human race can rely on their own hands, their own efforts, and their own struggles to overcome the disaster and resist it.

In Yuhang County, countless people heard such words. Although it was difficult to comprehend them for a while, a few wise people became excited.

But no matter what, they still dragged their weak bodies to reclaim wasteland and plant crops.

At this time, farm tools also come along.

In the blink of an eye, a lot of time passed.

The originally dry and barren fields have turned into lush green fields of grain.

The tall grains and the crisscrossing fields were all created bit by bit by all the people with their own hands.

As time went by, the wheat fields that looked like mountain forests also turned golden and swayed in the wind, like rosy clouds.

Especially as the aroma of wheat drifted in the wind, countless hungry people went completely crazy: "It's ripe, finally ripe."

"Haha... we succeeded. We relied on our own strength, not the power of the immortals, to grow such food and survive the drought." "What are you waiting for? Harvest the food, solve our famine, and survive the drought."

Countless people began to harvest crops frantically, and the crops that looked like hills were harvested in this way.

They are piled up one by one and sent into the granary, or into one's own stomach.

At that moment, there was no more famine in Yuhang County, and every household had surplus food.

Excitement, cheers, shouts, everything was happening in Yuhang County.

It was at this time that the sky, which was originally covered by the scorching sun and filled with countless drought disasters, suddenly began to feel a little cool.

Then the sky turned blue, followed by rosy clouds, colorful clouds, and a warm dew like the wind descended.

"It's raining, it's raining..." Countless people shouted.

Emperor Xiao was now looking at the raindrops falling into his hands, and silently said, "Rain of merit? No, this is rain that can turn disasters into good. When this rain falls, the scorching sun in the sky dissipates, turning into a blue sky. When this rain falls, the drought disaster that permeates the sky also dissipates. Haha... The grain I created not only solves the famine of the human race, but also resolves this drought!"

Emperor Xiao also didn't expect that, although he just couldn't bear to see the humans starve to death, he didn't expect it to evolve into a solution to the drought.

Bai Suzhen and the others also looked at her with disbelief. Wu Meiniang's eyes were filled with admiration, which she could not hide at all.

"County Magistrate Di Xiao, congratulations. This time, you have truly created a miracle." At this moment, Bai Suzhen didn't know what tone to use when talking to Di Xiao, whether it be emotion, excitement, admiration, or shame and anger.

She was impressed by Di Xiao's feat and admired that he could actually reverse the drought of the human race. She admired Di Xiao's will to make the human race stronger and was excited about her own harvest this time. Of course, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and angry when she thought of Di Xiao's frivolous treatment of her at that time. But among the shame and anger, there was more shyness. The look she gave Di Xiao also became admiration.

Bai Suzhen was like this, and Zhao Linger's eyes now turned into the shape of Di Xiao. Xiao Qing was amazed and looked at Di Xiao with shining eyes.

Emperor Xiao didn't care what Bai Suzhen and the others thought, but looked up at the sky: "The merit is coming."

Just as he finished saying this, a brilliant glow of light and boundless merit broke through everything, sprinkled on Yuhang County, and divided into several parts and flew towards Emperor Xiao.

Among the merits, Emperor Xiao received as much as 70%. Bai Suzhen and Zhao Linger contributed their creation and the law of life, and received 10% of the merits. Wu Meiniang, Xiaoqing, and many monks and officials in Yuhang County received 10%. The remaining 10% fell into the hands of countless people in Yuhang County.

After receiving so many merits, another merit descended. However, this time, the merits were divided into two parts. One part, which was about 70%, fell into the newly born grains, intertwined with a seed, and turned into a merit seed. Then, along with the merits, it turned into a new grain that looked like a big tree.

The remaining 30% fell onto farm tools such as the curved plow, and then the merits pulled them together, turning the many farm tools into a set of magical treasures.

Then the two spiritual treasures flew into Emperor Xiao's hands, letting him know of their existence.

“The best-grade spiritual treasure of merit in the future, the five grains of merit. And the lowest-grade spiritual treasure of merit in the future, the curved-leaf farm tools!” These two spiritual treasures of merit fell into Emperor Xiao’s hands, and Emperor Xiao was stunned.

Unintentionally, Emperor Xiao actually got these two spiritual treasures of merit. Although the quality was not high, Emperor Xiao knew from them that the two spiritual treasures could evolve with merit.
