“Oh, oh.”
Huahua didn’t ask anything, agreed immediately, and turned to run out to inform the others.
The Peasant Woman, however, was filled with disbelief and stood rooted to the spot.
She had originally thought that it was already a great act of kindness for the lord to help her daughter with her Spirit Awakening, but now he was actually going to help everyone in town of the appropriate age with their Spirit Awakening.
This was simply a living Bodhisattva walking on earth.
Only a living Bodhisattva would take nothing and ask for no reward.
“Lord…”
The Peasant Woman prepared to express her gratitude once more.
“That is enough.
This old man is merely doing what should be done; there is no need for this.”
Qian Daoliu interrupted, his tone calm.
He walked to the door and watched Huahua’s gradually receding figure, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
Although it was highly probable that Spirit Hall no longer existed.
However, the glory of the angel must not vanish.
This World is sick.
Then he would be the one to heal it!
…
About half an hour passed.
Huahua returned with the people of the appropriate age from the town.
Qian Daoliu stood on the open ground in front of the house, looking out over a sea of heads.
There were men, women, old, and young, all wearing tattered clothes, their faces filled with nervousness and anticipation.
The children followed behind their parents, looking timidly at Qian Daoliu.
Huahua ran over, panting as she said: “Uncle, I’ve called everyone here!
There are 108 people in total who meet the requirements!”
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.
At this moment, a middle-aged man gathered his courage, stepped forward, bowed to Qian Daoliu, and asked cautiously: “Lord, Huahua said you are going to help us with our Spirit Awakening for free.
Is this true?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone went quiet, all eyes turning to Qian Daoliu.
No one doubted him; there was only hope.
In those pairs of eyes, there was a longing for their destinies to change.
Qian Daoliu sighed inwardly, his tone firm: “Of course it is true.
This old man never breaks his word.”
He paused for a moment and continued: “Line up, one by one.”
The crowd immediately became restless, scrambling and pushing forward, all wanting to be the first to undergo Spirit Awakening.
“Lord, please help my son with his Spirit Awakening!”
“Help my daughter first, my daughter is exactly six years old this year!”
“Lord, I beg you!”
Qian Daoliu frowned and let out a cold snort.
This sound carried spirit power, causing everyone’s ears to ring, and they immediately quieted down.
“If you continue to push, this old man will not bother with any of you.” Qian Daoliu’s tone was dignified without anger.
Everyone immediately lined up, not daring to act out again, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction and walked to the front of the line.
The first was a little boy, about six or seven years old, as thin as a bamboo pole, wearing old clothes that were clearly several sizes too big.
“Don’t be afraid.
Use your heart to feel the Spirit within you,” Qian Daoliu said.
The little boy nodded obediently upon hearing this.
Qian Daoliu raised his right hand, golden light shining from his palm, covering the little boy’s entire body.
A moment later, a flash of light appeared in the little boy’s palm, and a hoe emerged.
A hoe Spirit.
Qian Daoliu checked it and shook his head: “No Innate spirit power.”
The little boy was stunned, his eyes instantly turning red.
His parents were also stunned, the anticipation on their faces turning into dejection.
“No… no Innate spirit power?” The little boy’s mother’s voice trembled.
“Does that mean he cannot become a Spirit Master?”
Qian Daoliu nodded, not hiding the truth: “That is so, but after having a Spirit, your physical fitness will improve, and you will be able to live a peaceful life in the future.”
The little boy burst into tears and was taken to the side by his parents.
Those behind saw this scene and felt a bit fearful, but most were still in high Spirits.
Qian Daoliu raised his hand to signal for silence, then let the second person step forward.
Just like that, one after another.
Qian Daoliu patiently helped everyone with their Spirit Awakening; regardless of whether they had Innate spirit power, he gave an honest evaluation.
Time passed minute by minute.
The sun gradually sank in the west, and the sky grew dark.
The townspeople lit torches, illuminating the open ground.
Until nightfall, Qian Daoliu finally finished helping the last person with their Spirit Awakening.
He let out a long sigh.
Out of 108 people, only 18 had Innate spirit power, with the highest not exceeding level 2.
The Spirits were also very ordinary, mostly everyday tools like sickles, hoes, and iron pots.
But these people were already very happy.
“Thank you, Lord!”
“Lord, you are our family’s benefactor!”
“Lord, I kowtow to you!”
Those children who had awakened Innate spirit power, led by their parents, bowed and kowtowed to Qian Daoliu, their faces filled with gratitude.
If not for Qian Daoliu, their children would never have been able to awaken a Spirit in their entire lives.
At this time, an old woman walked over tremblingly, carrying a basket of eggs in her hand.
“Lord, our family is poor and cannot offer anything good, but please accept these eggs.”
“Lord, these are sweet potatoes I grew, please have a taste.”
“Lord, this is some pickled vegetables I made; please don’t look down on it.”
The residents brought out various agricultural products, wanting to give them to Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu refused them one by one: “This old man does not need these; keep them for yourselves to eat.”
He looked at the 18 children who had Innate spirit power and instructed: “Huahua has a meditation technique; you should go and copy it yourselves.
Cultivate well in the future, and you must never do anything harmful or evil, otherwise this old man will be the first to not let you off.”
Those children nodded repeatedly, promising that they would definitely Cultivate well and do good deeds in the future.
Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction and did not stay any longer.
He spread his six wings, the golden wings radiating a sacred light.
With his legs slightly bent, he shot up into the sky and flew toward the night sky.
The golden light was extremely conspicuous in the night sky, like a meteor streaking across the horizon.
Everyone was shocked.
“An… an angel!”
“So the lord is an angel!”
“In our lifetime, we have actually been able to see an angel!”
The residents looked as if they were beholding a god, their hearts filled with awe, and they all knelt on the ground, kowtowing in the direction where Qian Daoliu had departed.
Huahua held her mother’s hand, looking up at the night sky, her eyes sparkling.
“Mom, Uncle is so amazing.”
The Peasant Woman hugged her daughter, tears streaming down her face: “Yes, Huahua, you must also be a good person like Uncle in the future.”
Huahua nodded heavily.
…
Qian Daoliu flew at high speed, the night wind whistling in his ears.
He overlooked the land, and in the darkness, he could occasionally see sporadic lights, like fireflies dotting the ground.
Thinking about what had just happened, his mood was heavy.
One person’s strength was still too limited.
In this era, there were likely many people who had not awakened their Spirits; relying solely on himself, it was impossible to take care of everyone.
He believed it was necessary to find some helpers.
First, he still had to determine whether Spirit Hall was truly gone.
If it still existed, he would take back power and gradually develop and strengthen Spirit Hall until it recovered to its former scale.
Offer free Spirit Awakening, scout for talent, distribute subsidies, and keep the Spirit Masters of the World in check.
If Spirit Hall was truly no longer there, then he would rebuild Spirit Hall and spread the glory of the angel across the entire continent.
Qian Daoliu clenched his fists, a firm light flashing in his eyes.
This was his responsibility as the successor of the angel, and it was also the meaning of his existence.
