What is It Like To Be Summoned As a Giant? - v2 Chapter 478

  Chapter 478 Incense and Responsibility

  In a seaside town outside Chentang Pass, there is a girl named Qi Diaochan, she is just a very ordinary diver. These days, there is no saying that women cannot go out. In order to survive, both men and women have to work hard.

  Qi Diaochan goes fishing in the sea on weekdays. Although it is hard work in the sun and rain, at least he can eat enough.

  Today, I went to sea with my father again. Just looking at the sky, I knew it would be a good day with clear skies. If I was lucky, one day’s harvest would save Qi Diaochan from going to sea for several days.

   Probably because of luck, this time fishing, I actually caught a huge clam near the sea. When I opened it, there was a round and flawless pearl inside, which was almost bigger than my thumb.

  If this kind of treasure can be sold at Chentangguan, it will be a sky-high price, enough for Qi Diaochan’s family to go ashore and live a happy life without fishing anymore.

  Qi Diaochan’s father is also very happy, so that his daughter can marry in a prosperous manner, instead of being trapped in this fishing village and fighting for her life in the sea like her ancestors did for generations.

  However, the originally calm sea suddenly became rough.

  As fishermen at sea, Qi Diaochan, father and daughter, both know the sea very well, and the first time they noticed something was wrong, they would return to the voyage. Anyway, it is enough to get this pearl today, it is more important than anything else.

  However, the disaster came too fast, and there was no time to avoid it.

  A 100-meter-high tsunami surged from a distance, smashing the fishing boat to pieces in the blink of an eye, and the current dragged Qi Diaochan into the bottom of the sea.

  At the last moment of her life, Qi Diaochan just wanted to see where her father was, but there was only a pitch-black sea.

   “The Dragon Lord is angry, but why?”

   “Obviously we have made good offerings before going to sea every time. Why is it still like this?”

   “It’s not my fault, nor our fault… everything is the fault of the Dragon Lord. The Dragon Lord didn’t keep his word and didn’t protect us at all!”

  …

  Before she died, Qi Diaochan suddenly felt endless resentment. Obviously, it’s only a little bit short, and you can live a good life. Obviously, I was very respectful to the Dragon Lord before, and the incense was kept burning every day, and I made daily offerings. Why didn’t the Dragon Lord bless me?

  It’s not just me, the fishing village has enshrined the Dragon Lord for so many years, and there are villagers who die tragically in the storm every year.

  All culprits are dragons, those beasts who call themselves gods! But the resentment of a mere mortal could not become real, so Qi Diaochan sank into the deep sea and completely lost her life.

  The so-called gods fight and mortals suffer. Tang Lin and the four golden immortals of the Dragon King of the Four Seas fought in the sea. They moved mountains and reclaimed seas.

  Although most of the coast is wasteland at this time, many fishing villages are still affected. First, dozens of small boats were overturned by the people who went fishing, and there were heavy casualties. Then the fishing villages near the sea were almost completely destroyed by the tsunami, and the death toll was close to a thousand.

   Tang Lin discovered this when cleaning up the mess, and gave the first order to the just defeated Dragon King of the Four Seas: “Fill me up all the people who sank to the bottom of the sea due to accidental injuries.”

  The Dragon King of the Four Seas was stunned when he heard this order, how can he get it? When a tsunami goes down, hundreds of thousands of people will be sucked into the bottom of the sea, and even the Dragon Clan may not be able to find them all. No, how could their noble dragons be corpse hunters?

   But Ao Guang wanted to make an opinion, so Tang Lin glanced at him, as if looking at a loach that had been thrown to death on a chopping board.

   Ao Guang shuddered all over, he could only agree to it. But Ao Guang doesn’t need to do it himself, there are many aquariums in the East China Sea, so sending a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals can do it for him.

  Originally, he thought that he could bring hundreds of people ashore so that they could do business. Who would have thought that Tang Lin would appear in the fishing village directly, and not only rebuilt the houses for the villagers, but also asked them to identify the dead bodies.

  There are quite a few people in the village, but all of them are familiar faces. Ask the villagers a few times, and you will know who is missing.

   Seeing a group of passive saboteurs, Tang Lin went straight to pinch Ao Guang’s neck and said, “I can’t do without one of them. If it weren’t for your Dragon Clan who don’t know right from wrong, these mortals would die?!”

   Ao Guang finally understood that the Lihuo Taoist in front of him was a lunatic. I have never seen gods care so much about the life and death of mortals, and this is not saving people, but picking up the corpses, which is of no use except to put people in the ground.

   Moreover, these mortals live along the coast and rely on the sea for a living, so they should have been prepared to be swallowed by the sea. Who else is to blame for dying in the sea? There are so many mortals in the world, is it true that everyone who is drowned must be rescued by the Dragon Clan?

   This is the idea of ​​common gods in the world of gods – mortals are like ants, when one brood dies, another brood will soon emerge.

  But Tang Lin had a completely different idea. The Dragon King of the Four Seas was worshiped by the people along the coast. What did the people ask for? It can’t be to ask the Dragon King to ask for a son. Of course, what you want is to have a good weather, so that you can return safely after going to sea.

   If you want to say that the Dragon King can’t save the world, Tang Lin also admits that this is indeed something that even a saint can’t do.

  But, if you can’t do it, why don’t you brag!

Before accepting incense offerings, would the Dragon King say: “Look, I can’t save all of you, and I don’t even care about you. Whether you go to sea or die depends on your luck. But even if I am so foolish, you still You must worship me well, and you must not lack incense, or I will get angry and kill you.”

   This is of course impossible, and mortals are not fools, so I will offer you incense after hearing you say that? Of course, what the Dragon King blew was “Those who believe in me and live against me will perish in the sea” to frighten these mortals. Occasionally saving two people, or even mortals who were lucky enough not to die, would claim these things as a great contribution, and all mortals who died could be accused of disrespecting immortals and gods.

   Over time, mortals have accepted this kind of unequal contract that is extremely cheating.

  In Tang Lin’s opinion, if you can’t do it, don’t come out and pretend. Treating mortals like ants while taking advantage of mortals is not so shameless.

  The matter of naming the waterwheel before also exposed the greedy nature of the Dragon Clan. They think about merit, not that this thing can really benefit mortals.

   Tang Lin couldn’t see this kind of double standard, maybe he couldn’t do it before, but from now on, if the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas dared to ignore the coastal fishermen, then Tang Lin would demolish all their Dragon King Temples. How mortals die has nothing to do with the Dragon Clan, but you don’t even want to get any more incense, everyone will fall apart.

  The fisherman’s corpses were fished up one by one. In fact, this matter is still a question of whether to do it or not, but if you really work hard, it is really not a problem for the aquarium to salvage some corpses in the sea. And because of the particularity of this tsunami, ferocious aquariums like sharks dare not approach them, and they caught all of them without missing a beat.

  Next, Tang Lin pressed Ao Guang’s head in front of the fishermen to apologize to the people, and then started to condense golden lightning with Tang Lin’s hands.
