Chapter 239: Qin Chu’s Border, Mountain God Bear
 

Hearing this, Shi Lei was stunned at first, then he smiled stiffly and said,

“It’s always been like this in the past. It can’t be less than before, right? Although we mountain villagers…”

“Wait!”

Su Mu stopped Shi Lei and asked in a low voice:

“In the past? Who did you worship in the past?”

Shi Lei’s words made Su Mu feel that something was wrong.

There seemed to be some misunderstanding between them.

After hearing Su Mu’s words, Shi Lei was even more confused than him.

The woodcutter was obviously stunned for a moment and asked curiously,”

“Who else could it be? It’s the mountain god from before you.”

Mountain God?

Hearing this, Su Mu’s breathing stopped and he quickly asked:

” What Mountain God?!”

“A Mountain God is indeed a Mountain God.”

” What appearance?!”

“The mountain god you saw before was a very, very big bear. It was more than twenty feet tall!”

“Why is it a mountain god?”

“What? Why? It, it was sent by the Heavenly Court.”

As the conversation progressed to this point, Shi Lei could not help but feel a sense of fear.

He suddenly realized that things seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined!

Was this really the Mountain God?

If so, why would he ask these questions?

What this woodcutter didn’t know was that Su Mu’s heart was already in turmoil.

Something was wrong.

Something was very wrong!

How could there be a Heavenly Court in this world?

This shouldn’t be!

Su Mu had never seen any official records of the Heavenly Court in the history books, and there weren’t even many folk legends.

How could there be a Heavenly Court here?

Such a thing should not exist in the power system of this world!

..

Su Mu faintly felt that he might have touched upon some of the secrets of this era.

After that, Su Mu asked Shi Lei a few more questions, all of which were related to the “Heavenly Court” and “Mountain God”.

Although he sensed something was wrong, Shi Lei did not dare to not answer and told him everything he knew.

This time, Su Mu finally understood something.

No wonder those woodsmen and hunters weren’t afraid when they saw him. Instead, they were respectful with a trace of flattery and ingratiation.

So he had mistaken him for a mountain god!

In this era, there was the Heavenly Court.

In the eyes of a woodcutter like Shi Lei, the celestial heavens was a place where immortals stayed, and he didn’t know the details.

The only thing he knew was the mountain god on this nameless hill.

As for why he thought Su Mu was a mountain god?

The reason was simple.

In the past hundred years, there had only been one demon on this small mountain, and that was the mountain god.

The Bear Monster Mountain God would not allow a second monster to appear in his territory.

In recent years, the bear demon mountain god had disappeared without a trace.

Soon after, Su Mu appeared and became the only demon here.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain naturally regarded him as the mountain god and even began to discuss the matter of collective worship.

..

“Mountain God, do you have any other questions?”

Su Mu’s questions revealed many things.

Shi Lei vaguely guessed that the huge snake demon in front of him might not be a mountain god!

This made him a little scared.

However, he did not ask or expose her.

Even small figures had their own wisdom.

Su Mu looked deeply at the woodcutter and said:

“It’s okay. You should go back. Don’t let your wife and children wait anxiously.”

“Thank you, Mountain God!”

Shi Lei thanked him and ran away.

It looked a little rushed.

Su Mu looked at his departing back and couldn’t help but ponder.

“Heavenly Court…Mountain God…”

“This era seems to be different from what I imagined.”

“How can there be something like this in the Heavenly Court?”

Su Mu was puzzled.

Although he had also thought of building the underworld.

However, it was precisely because of this that he knew how difficult it was to build a divine right in the Nine Provinces!

Even the powerful undersea monster would find it difficult to do so.

This was because this world did not have the foundation to establish the Heavenly Court.

Unless, this Heavenly Court was different from what Su Mu had imagined.

It might even be completely different!

Su Mu had once created the underworld in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the reapers under him were all demons and ghosts that he had subdued.

However, this was just a small and weak country. It was like playing house.

Then, what would the Nine Provinces ‘Heavenly Court be like in this era?

As he thought about it, the feeling of touching a big secret became stronger and stronger.

However, Su Mu’s biggest problem right now was the “former mountain god” that Shi Lei had mentioned.

He was the real mountain god on this small hill.

According to him, the Mountain Deity was a Bear Demon that stood more than five meters tall.

A single roar could cause a mortal’s guts to split apart, and they would vomit blood and die!

With a casual wave of his claws, he could smash a huge rock into powder!

Most importantly, Shi Lei had seen the bear demon mountain god’s body spit out an earthen yellow aura.

This was clearly a sign of demonic aura being released.

In other words, that bear demon had at least the cultivation of the Postnatal realm!

The mountain gods of this world would occasionally help the people around them do small things when they were receiving offerings. They usually would not do evil.

However, the Heavenly Court’s jurisdiction over the mountain gods was very loose, and the standards for ” doing evil ” were also very broad.

Killing a few people was not considered evil for the Mountain God.

At the very least, they had to slaughter more than half of them before they could be considered evil, and they might be punished by the Heavenly Court.

Other than that, he could not leave his post without permission.

Therefore, as a mountain god appointed by the Heavenly Court, the bear demon would not disappear for no reason.

Even if they left, there should be a replacement.

This was why Shi Lei and the other villagers mistook Su Mu for the new Mountain God.

But Su Mu knew that he was not a mountain god.

Then where did the bear demon go?

..

After considering the bear tribe’s habits, Su Mu seriously suspected that the bear demon mountain god might have gone into hibernation.
