Hearing this, the members of the Gao Family couldn't help but lick their lips, momentarily tempted to go and claim a portion for themselves. Fortunately, they had all eaten before entering the village; otherwise, they might have truly been lured away.
Led by Wang Zhao, the group continued onward. Soon, they passed by a deep pit that was a sight of devastation.
Gao Shun immediately explained, "This is the place where you witnessed that thunderous strike from the clear sky. That bolt of lightning was the work of Immortal Sir. Do you see that patch of blackness in the pit? That was once a villager."
"How is that possible? That used to be a living person?" The Gao Family members moved closer to the deep pit for a better look. However, no matter how they examined it, they could not discern whether the charred remains beneath were indeed human.
"This is a fact I witnessed with my own eyes," Gao Shun took a deep breath and continued. "With divine power, a bolt of lightning struck down, and in an instant, that person was reduced to this charred wreckage. This place was once a constructed platform. The force of the thunder was simply too overwhelming, destroying it into these fragments we see now."
"If you search carefully around here, you might still find remnants of the platform." After executing the punishment, Yun Yi and Zhao An did not instruct anyone to clear the scene. The reason for this was to serve as a warning to incoming refugees. In the future, more people would choose to settle here.
Given that each lightning strike could not be routinely implemented, the most effective measure was to preserve this shocking scene. This way, when members of Zhao Family Village saw these marks, they would feel fear and establish rules in their hearts.
Faced with all of this, the crowd from the Gao Family felt as if they might lose their voices. Such power was truly terrifying in its extremity!
That was an energy capable of shaking the very heavens and the earth! If not for witnessing it firsthand today, it would have been unimaginable what the consequences would be if one were to suffer such a blow—certain death, with even the soul destined to vanish, unable to reincarnate.
In the moment of shock, their resolve grew even stronger, and they no longer dared to engage in any reckless behavior.
What followed left everyone in awe.
"Hey? Come over and take a look, there seems to be something unusual in that spot."
As the words fell, all eyes turned toward the area pointed out by Fang Juhuan, right at the core of the high platform.
A soil block, measuring four feet on each side, was floating in mid-air.
"Am I seeing things? That soil block is really flying!"
"You’re not mistaken; it’s indeed in flight."
"But there’s nothing supporting it! This is simply unbelievable!"
The Gao Family gathered around, some moving forward and others stepping back, all displaying expressions of astonishment.
They then asked Gao Shun about the origin of the floating soil. After some effort to recall, Gao Shun remembered the incident: at that time, Shen Ren had summoned thunder, and the high platform had instantly turned to ashes. This soil was precisely where he had stood.
Perhaps due to the residual effects of the Divine Miracle, this piece of soil possessed extraordinary abilities, allowing it to hover here even now.
"Oh my!"
After hearing Gao Shun's story, members of the Gao Family collectively gasped in awe. The greatness and terror of the divine were beyond words. Just a bit of sacred power affecting ordinary soil could lead to such extraordinary changes; this indicated that they needed to closely follow their master from now on.
As the saying goes: "One person’s strength benefits all." Following this powerful figure would surely lead to a bright future.
In another way of expressing this: The deities descended into the mortal realm to aid the people as heavenly beings.
If they could serve them well, even if they could not ascend to immortality alongside the deities, they would surely leave their mark in history. In an instant, the spirits of the Gao Family members grew even more fervent.
Gao Ping cleared his throat lightly and said, "Stop dawdling; let's set off quickly. We have already delayed for quite some time. We cannot keep the deities waiting."
Upon hearing this, the Gao Clan members came to their senses and nodded in agreement. They then organized their reins and walked briskly along the main road. Before long, they arrived at Zhao Family Manor, where they met Yun Yi and Zhao An along with a few others.
Since Gao Shun had repeatedly instructed them beforehand, they were not surprised by Yun Yi's light demeanor. They all believed that Yun Yi maintained such a light appearance due to some special beauty regimen.
Including Gao Shun, there were eighteen members of the Gao Family, all displaying a somewhat clumsy version of the Zi Wu Jue handshake ceremony as they respectfully bowed to Yun Yi: "Respected deity, all eighteen members of the Gao Family are gathered here."
Yun Yi nodded gently; each of them was an excellent candidate. Aside from two children who were not yet ten years old, the rest—both male and female—were all skilled in martial arts. Perhaps they were slightly lacking in top-tier military leadership experience, but they should be capable of managing the growing refugee population effectively.
Yun Yi spoke up, "Since you have chosen to join my ranks, you must now obey my orders and directives from this day forward."
