I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 485 - 447th - : I Am the Insect-eating Immortal
Chapter 485: 447th Chapter: I Am the Insect-eating Immortal
The offerings piled on the altar, consisting of dung and pieces of rotten flesh, looked extremely disgusting.
But the villagers, unable to see through the illusion technique, only thought that Tian Lin had swapped their food.
Someone, braver than the others, threw a clump of mud at Tian Lin.
But how could a mortal thrown mud clump possibly hit Tian Lin?
Tian Lin dispersed the incoming mud clump with True Qi and said:
"The so-called Savior Immortal is no more than an Evil Cultivator who uses illusion technique. You’ve eaten excrement for so many days, let it be—but those rotten meats, don’t you realize it’s human flesh? Aren’t you afraid that after you die, you’ll be held accountable by a Ghost Messenger in the presence of Yama?"
No matter what Tian Lin said, these villagers had lost all hope of survival.
The Savior Immortal may have deceived them, but as long as they didn’t know that those pieces of chicken, duck, and fish were actually transformed excrement and human flesh, what harm was there in pinching their noses and eating them?
At this moment, everyone present wished they could kill the well-intentioned Tian Lin and Mei Xianfu, but since even the Savior Immortal was no match for Mei Xianfu, they dared not act against Tian Lin.
"What’s the point of saying so much? Now that the Savior Immortal is dead, it fulfills your intention. Since the matter is settled, why waste more words with these people?"
"Now in Beiyed County, there are all kinds of immortals everywhere. Even though the Savior Immortal is dead, if these villagers are left unprotected, they might join other cults elsewhere. Alternatively, an Evil Cultivator might come here and start another cult.
Instead of that, why don’t you become the new Savior Immortal here?"
Only then did Mei Xianfu understand Tian Lin’s purpose in bringing her here. She couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Why should I help these ignorant and naive mortals? I have no interest in being a savior."
Tian Lin said, "How could the two of us have the power to save the world? Besides, it’s not for the sake of helping these villagers—I just think that if things continue to develop like this, sooner or later it will affect the northern suburbs.
And the northern suburbs are my Dao venue, and I don’t want the situation to impact my venue."
He is currently attaining enlightenment in the northern suburbs; the flying locusts, due to his Divine Lady Tree, can barely be contained.
But over time, his Divine Lady Tree would not be able to block the swarms of flying locusts forever.
If Mei Xianfu stays nearby, having her there could not only reduce the pressure of exterminating the flying locusts but also provide some backup in future events.
"Why don’t you build your Dao venue in the Wenda Sect? There won’t be any flying locust attacks there."
"The lands in the Wenda Sect are all excellent spirit fields; they can’t spare even a few acres for me, nor allow me free reign. Besides, I need more than just spirit fields for enlightenment."
At this moment, a clever villager suddenly knelt down and shouted, "Immortal, have mercy on us and protect us. We are willing to establish a temple for you and ensure our descendants serve you for generations to come."
This person’s words awakened the others, and many villagers knelt before Mei Xianfu as well.
Only a small portion remained at the altar, staring at the excrement which was the original form of the supposedly chicken, duck, and fish meat.
"If I don’t stay here as some sort of Immortal, what do you plan to do?"
Mei Xianfu ignored the villagers and just looked at Tian Lin.
Tian Lin replied calmly, "These people have eaten human flesh, even if it wasn’t done deliberately. But those who’ve tasted human flesh, how could I let them remain in this world?"
He still remembered Ran Lang saying that after the apocalypse, cannibalism became a trend.
The formation of such a trend wasn’t just due to a lack of food, but also because those who survived had already broken the moral boundary.
In extreme hunger, only a few broke the boundary to eat their own kind.
Initially, the boundary was hard to break simply because eating people was seen as wrong. But once the boundary was breached, eating human flesh a few more times, and it no longer felt wrong—wasn’t it just about striving to live?
"Compared to others, these people are more prone to feed on humans."
After hearing that Tian Lin intended to kill them, the villagers were terrified.
Someone cried, "Immortal, we were deceived into eating human flesh, it was not intentional. We promise never to eat humans again, please spare us."
Tian Lin sneered, "You are not yet starved to that extent, if there’s no one to restrain you. Once you reach that level of hunger, do you really think you won’t eat?"
The people then turned to plead with Mei Xianfu to help them, hoping she would stay and plead on their behalf.
How could Mei Xianfu be moved by a few pleas from these people?
Mei Xianfu was usually harsh to others, but only with fellow cultivators.
She had little interest in bullying mortals.
Especially when she saw a number of young girls in the village, their faces full of confusion and fear, her brow furrowed even more tightly.
Tian Lin knew she was known for her softer side, but he indeed wasn’t using her weakness to frighten her.
If Mei Xianfu truly wouldn’t stay here, Tian Lin wouldn’t let anyone present live.
"Fine, I can stay here, but I don’t have the resources to feed this bunch of useless people."
Tian Lin laughed and said, "You just need to set the Divine Lady Tree here and arrange some arrays so the flying locusts can’t come much.
Currently, Beiyed County isn’t short on land—when it’s time for land reclamation, I’ll find someone to help farm, and once the crops start growing, you won’t have to worry about the villagers running out of food."
"Alright, let’s do as you say!"
Mei Xianfu tossed her Divine Lady Tree outside the village, and in an instant, it took root and grew into a giant tree.
Under the immense Divine Lady Tree, roots like tree whiskers emerged from the ground, whipping at the sky, capturing swarms of flying locusts. In an instant, a large portion of the flying locusts in the sky were gone.
Mei Xianfu’s Divine Lady Tree was already akin to a Dao Artifact; its power was naturally beyond the comparison of Tian Lin’s Divine Lady Tree.
The villagers, witnessing this miraculous scene, were dumbfounded.
Someone remarked, "Doesn’t the Tian Family Village also have such a tree? But that tree isn’t as large as ours, nor as powerful."
"I always said the Insect-eating Immortal couldn’t compare to our—our Immortal Lady."
The villager who earlier spoke with Mei Xianfu and Tian Lin knelt before Mei Xianfu, "We wish to build a shrine for the Immortal. What is the Immortal’s Dao title?"
"My surname is Mei, just call me Immortal Lady!"
The villagers accepted the mandate, relieved to have Mei Xianfu’s protection and no longer fearing Tian Lin would kill them, and were naturally overjoyed.
There’s no need to rebuild the Divine Temple; just take down the Savior Immortal’s plaque and put up a new one saying ’Mei Immortal Temple’ and it’s pretty much done.
But at this point, Tian Lin didn’t wait for the villagers to disperse and said, "In a few days, arrays need to be set up here; you should delineate the usable land around, and I’ll send spirit plant cultivators from Tian Family Village to teach you farming."
Everyone present knew how to farm, but the mention of spirit plant cultivators from Tian Family Village caught their attention.
The villager who previously said the Insect-eating Immortal couldn’t compare to Mei Xianfu had a bad premonition, and asked Tian Lin, "Why would Tian Family Village listen to you? Don’t tell me—"
Tian Lin replied, "That’s correct, I am the Insect-eating Immortal."
