The star falls flat on the ground

However, things often don't go as planned; that's the norm in this world.

For a period after that, Han Yi indeed had a smooth life in Zhu Village.

He lived without worries, and in his free time each day, he utilized the Xuan Bird's Feather in his Dantian to absorb the free-floating Heavenly Fortune between heaven and earth.

When Zhu Village was attacked by Yao Beasts from other villages, he secretly invoked the 'Heavenly Fortune Authority,' summoning wind and rain, and causing sand and stones to fly, helping them defeat several waves of external enemies.

Consequently, Han Yi's status in Zhu Village grew higher and higher.

The Yao Beasts of Zhu Village not only specifically built a tall stone structure as his sleeping quarters but also provided him with ten burly and strong guards for close protection.

They even wanted to present him with the most sacred 'maiden' of Zhu Village.

Han Yi felt a chill in his heart upon seeing her cat-headed, human-bodied appearance and decisively declined.

Just as Han Yi thought he would be playing the role of a 'Divine Son' in Zhu Village for a long time, an unexpected event occurred.

One night, he suddenly awoke inexplicably.

The surroundings were silent, yet Han Yi felt a surge of unease.

Quietly getting up to check his surroundings, he was horrified to discover that the ten personal guards who were supposed to protect him day and night had all suddenly disappeared without a trace, he didn't know when.

Han Yi knew something was wrong and didn't even have time to pack his belongings before trying to escape his sleeping quarters.

It was then that he discovered that while he was sound asleep, nearly a hundred masked, black-clad soldiers had completely surrounded his sleeping quarters.

By the faint flickering firelight in the sleeping quarters, Han Yi could vaguely discern that the beastial transformation of these soldiers was significantly higher than that of the Zhu Village inhabitants.

Although they still had human bodies, their limbs were thick and strong, and their hands had become like those of Yao Beasts.

This group was clearly coming for him.

Han Yi immediately felt a bad premonition, and with a fierce resolve, he invoked all the Heavenly Fortune he had absorbed during these days.

So, as these soldiers were searching for Han Yi's whereabouts, a streak of light suddenly illuminated the sky, instantly brightening the night.

A colossal fireball plummeted directly towards Zhu Village.

The black-clad soldiers present were instantly stunned by this sight.

The sleeping villagers of Zhu Village also woke up in alarm, watching the scene, which was like the end of the world descending, at a loss.

Han Yi, sensing that the Heavenly Fortune accumulated during these days had been depleted, hid in a corner formed by a sturdy boulder.

Han Yi had initially thought that the meteor he had summoned with all his might would surely crush all these black-clad soldiers to death.

Who would have thought that, facing this threat of death, a figure among the soldiers suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar.

His body swelled several times in an instant, and with a push of his feet, he shot into the air.

He actually charged directly towards the meteor in the sky.

"Bang!"

Amidst the violent explosion, that figure fell back to the ground at an even faster speed than he had ascended.

He was covered in blood and disfigured.

However, the meteor summoned by Han Yi was, after all, slightly altered in its trajectory.

Instead, it fell towards the center of Zhu Village, where houses were most densely clustered.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Village was almost reduced to ruins. Cries and wails were Bu Jue.

Although the hundreds of black-clad soldiers had dodged the direct impact of the meteor, they could not escape the aftermath of the meteor's impact and suffered heavy casualties.

Han Yi, due to his early preparation and a bit of residual Heavenly Fortune protecting his body, was largely unharmed.

Feeling that he could not stay there for long, he took advantage of the night and the chaos to quietly escape Zhu Village alone.

He fled over ten miles, and just as he thought he was safe.

He suddenly felt a gust of wind from behind and quickly tried to dodge.

But he was still a beat too slow and couldn't avoid it.

Like an invisible wind blade, it cut a large wound on his back.

Han Yi endured the sharp pain and turned his head to look for the assailant.

But he was surprised to find that the one who attacked him was an acquaintance!

The High Priest of Zhu Village, Si!

Han Yi feigned a look of anger and questioned him about the reason for his attack.

In reality, he was secretly and rapidly absorbing Heavenly Fortune, trying to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

And Si, perhaps thinking that Han Yi was already at the end of his rope and destined to die, did not rush to act, but instead, with a face full of resentment, revealed the reason for his planning of this attack.

It turned out that ever since Han Yi had repeatedly displayed 'divine miracles,' Si, the High Priest who was once revered and admired by the villagers, had slowly become 'unemployed.'

It's easy to understand.

The main task of a priest is to represent the villagers and communicate with the gods.

They report the villagers' prayers to the gods and, at the same time, announce the divine oracles they hear to everyone.

But with Han Yi, an existence capable of repeatedly manifesting divine miracles, almost equivalent to a Soul Transformation into a god.

Why would the villagers seek out their 'spokesperson' when they had direct access to the divine?

After losing the right to interpret the gods, all the honor Si once held was replaced by Han Yi.

Watching Han Yi move into the tall sleeping quarters, watching the villagers kneel in fear whenever Han Yi went out…

Jealousy, like a venomous snake, constantly grew in Si's heart.

Even though Han Yi displayed god-like power, Si harbored thoughts of 'god-slaying.'

But clearly, apart from him, no one else in Zhu Village would support this approach.

So, he set his sights on Kang Village, more than ten miles away.

Kang Village was much stronger than Zhu Village. The villagers' degree of beastial transformation was clearly one Rank higher.

However, there had never been any major conflicts between the two.

The wilderness was vast and boundless, and resources were almost inexhaustible.

Even if Kang and Zhu Villages occasionally had conflicts, they were often resolved amicably after negotiation.

But Si's quiet visit changed everything.

Si revealed to the Kang Village leader the news that a 'god had descended' in Zhu Village.

Furthermore, he warned that with the help of a god, the Zhu Village Chief's ambition had also swelled.

He intended to use the power of the god to sweep across the four directions and become an 'Emperor' who would unify the wilderness.

This process would undoubtedly be filled with bloody slaughter.

Si was unwilling to see so many lives perish, so he secretly came to invite the people of Kang Village to eliminate Han Yi, the culprit who was deceiving people in the name of a god.

After some persuasion, the Kang Village leader also felt that allowing Zhu Village to possess a 'descended god' was too dangerous.

So, after more than ten days of planning, with Si acting as an inside informant, Kang seized the opportunity and, bringing about a hundred of the village's elite, quietly surrounded Han Yi's sleeping quarters.

Although Si had told him about the descended god's powerful ability to summon wind and rain.

Kang was also very confident.

His elite force had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

They didn't even fear swords and blades, let alone mere wind and rain.

Until the meteor fell from the sky, completely shattering Kang's worldview.
