Chapter 331: Chapter 321: We Are Saved
Guo Mingyi was just being humble. The truth was, long before the Hell Era arrived, his village had already researched countless uses for spiritual power, far deeper and more extensive than the innovations Tang Mo had come up with.
After all, having a whole village of Spirit Attribute Superpower Users researching together every day was bound to be much faster than Tang Mo figuring things out alone through occasional observations in battle.
Besides, there were many applications of spiritual power that could only be manifested by a group—techniques Tang Mo would never be able to discover on her own.
"I just heard today that Wuxi Village was renamed Holy Doctor Village?"
Tang Mo had never paid much attention to things that didn’t directly concern her, so it was no surprise she was only just now hearing about something so significant.
"We wouldn’t dare claim such a thing! We’ve only saved a few people using the skills Ancestral Master taught us. We could never live up to such a grand title. It’s just an empty reputation given to us by outsiders. We are truly unworthy."
Guo Mingyi couldn’t quite decipher the tone of Tang Mo’s question and could only respond with trepidation.
He was terrified that his Ancestral Master had come to reprimand him, believing he and the villagers had been showing off too much.
Seeing Guo Mingyi’s cautious expression, Tang Mo decided against teasing him further and got straight to the point.
"I’m sure you’ve all seen the information on your ID Watches. While you can probably handle the Ice Age on your own, the ensuing famine will be a huge obstacle.
People outside call you Holy Doctor Village, so I assume you’ve saved many lives and performed many good deeds. You are all kind-hearted people.
It’s time to bring all your people out. Humanity needs you now."
The people of Wuxi Village had lived there in seclusion for generations, but the times were different now.
This crisis affected the entire world. Even those who wished to live in seclusion were still a part of humanity. At this critical juncture of survival, whether for their own sake or for the greater good, it was time for them to emerge from their isolation.
To Guo Mingyi, Tang Mo’s words were practically a divine mandate. Given her status in Wuxi Village, if Tang Mo ordered him to die, he would do so willingly and without a single complaint.
Besides, with the Ice Age returning, they couldn’t just stay in their remote village and starve to death.
So long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
The distance from Wuxi Village to S Base was considerable, especially in such a freezing and fractured world. For ordinary people, making the journey on their own would take much longer than a day or two.
But for Spirit Attribute Superpower Users, it was a different story entirely.
While the people with Tang Mo were still mired in the despair of their inevitable doom, a dark, oppressive mass appeared in the sky, rushing rapidly toward them.
"It couldn’t... It couldn’t be some kind of mutant beast, could it?"
No one had ever seen an avian mutant beast before, but that didn’t mean the Hell Era couldn’t bestow another cruel "parting gift" upon them.
Even ordinary people could enter Tang Mo’s Protective Shield, so everyone was well aware it offered no defensive capabilities.
Now, seeing the dark patch in the sky, they struggled to their feet and crowded together.
It was unclear who screamed first, but soon everyone inside the Protective Shield was in a state of chaos.
There was panic, terror, and the bitter unwillingness to accept the threat of death.
It was freezing cold outside, but staying inside the shield felt like being sitting ducks, completely trapped.
As the oppressive dark mass drew nearer and descended lower, finally landing on the ground, the people saw that it wasn’t some lethal mutant beast, but a group of people.
Their arrival from the sky wasn’t the only astonishing thing. What was most shocking was that nearly everyone in the group, including children who looked to be in their teens, was enveloped in a Spiritual Light Ring.
This group was composed entirely of Spirit Attribute Superpower Users!
These people were... from Holy Doctor Village!
The people from Holy Doctor Village were here! They must have come to save them! They were saved!
Eyes as dull as dead embers lit up with hope once more.
Watching the people under her protection erupt with a renewed will to live, Tang Mo couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
’See? Humans are such easy creatures to satisfy. Just give them a sliver of light in the darkness, and they can find the strength to carry on.’
’She couldn’t be their savior, but this tiny spark of light? That was something she could give, and was more than capable of providing.’
Just as Tang Mo was basking in her satisfaction, all the people from Holy Doctor Village suddenly dropped to their knees, shouting in unison.
"Greetings, Ancestral Master!"
"Greetings, Ancestral Master!"
"Greetings, Ancestral Master!"
The deafening cries were particularly stirring in the otherwise quiet atmosphere.
Tang Mo ducked her head low, wishing she could disappear. She was starting to regret her decision to call them here.
’It’s true what they say: fame is as dangerous for a person as fat is for a pig. All I want is to keep a low profile. Why is that so difficult?’
But no matter how low Tang Mo hung her head, everyone’s eyes slowly turned to her.
’Here we go again. That feeling of being stared at by everyone, like sitting on pins and needles... it’s back.’
In truth, even if the people from Holy Doctor Village hadn’t specified who they were addressing, everyone knew.
They were all Spirit Attribute Superpower Users who could fly and create Spiritual Light Rings. Was there any doubt who they had learned from?
The enormous, glittering gold Protective Shield was right there for all to see, leaving Tang Mo no room to argue.
"Get up, get up! I called you here for serious business, not for you to kowtow to me."
Seeing there was no hiding, Tang Mo could only bite the bullet and step forward, urging them to rise.
Seeing their Ancestral Master step out, the villagers rose to their feet, each one looking at her with sparkling eyes.
The things Tang Mo had said and taught back in Wuxi Village had, without exaggeration, changed the destiny of every single one of them.
And the more they studied it, the more they discovered that spiritual power was far more powerful than they had ever imagined.
It was thanks to Tang Mo that they had come to truly understand the allure and true potential of spiritual power.
The once-secluded village had begun to dedicate itself to the study of spiritual power, and every one of them had become a fervent devotee.
And the sight of this enormous, glittering gold shield of spiritual power left them breathless with excitement.
Golden spiritual power... It was the first time any of them had ever seen it.
When they saw Tang Mo step forward, everyone retracted their individual Spiritual Light Rings and combined them into a single, larger one, welcoming her inside it.
Tang Mo didn’t hesitate, walking straight inside and preparing to discuss the reason she had summoned them.
The people outside watched as Tang Mo went to speak with the arrivals from Holy Doctor Village, and a sense of relief washed over them.
It seemed that god-like woman, Tang Mo, wasn’t going to abandon them completely after all.
She was still actively trying to find a way to help them. Otherwise, she never would have summoned the people of Holy Doctor Village.
