Witch: Accumulate Experience Through Chapter 1000 - Chapter 469: Chapter 468: Each Shows Their Miracles

Chapter 469: Chapter 468: Each Shows Their Miracles

As a qualified god, Jiang Li must always maintain a calm mind.

Child, why do you want to learn the Time Reversal Spell? Jiang Li kindly asked, then glanced at the magic gourd from the corner of his eye.

The magic gourd shuddered involuntarily.

Those who had been enticed by the magic gourd were all beast-eared young girls. Half the day had passed and Jiang Li had yet to see a single male beastman.

This time was no exception, the young girls black cat ears trembled slightly and her tail coiled. She was clearly nervous.

I want to cure my mothers illness, but the priests in the cathedral say that my mothers illness is hopeless. Even legendary priests cant save her. Only a Time Reversal spell can cure my mother.

As the black cat girl began to cry, the magic gourd watched her tearfully.

Jiang Li swept away with his Divine Sense, analyzing the black cat girls bloodline to find her bed-ridden mother.

She was indeed gravely ill. Likely from adventuring in underground dungeons as a youth, she was inflicted with a dark curse from the demon clan. Her organs were failing, and a strange toxin was corrupting her body.

Jiang Li pulled off a jade green leaf, gently scooped a few drops of water onto it, and casually tossed it. The green leaf fell into the girls hand, and the drops of water on it swayed back and forth like jelly, clear and transparent, unable to shake off the leaf.

Child, the Time Reversal Spell isnt almighty. It wont save your mother. When you get home, have your mother drink these drops of water. It will restore her health.

Thank you, River God! the black cat girl sobbed, tears of joy streaming down her face. She bowed in thanks to Jiang Li, her tail curled in happiness, then raced home as fast as she could.

Having taken just a few steps, she slowed, afraid the water would spill from the leaf.

After examining it, she found the water attached to the leaf had some kind of magical property and wouldnt spill. Reassured, she resumed running home.

Her journey home was filled with setbacks. For instance, a beastman sprung from the roadside intending to knock her over, a flowerpot fell from the sky, aimed directly at her head. It was as if ten years worth of misfortune had all caught up with her that day.

Perhaps the River God was protecting her. The beastman tripped and fell, missing her, and as soon as she took a step forward, the flowerpot fell right where she used to stand. Had she walked half a second slower, she would have been hit.

Huh, the Church, Jiang Li chuckled emotionlessly.

This was human disaster, not natural. Anyone who couldnt be cured by the church but who was healed by the River God would seriously damage the Churchs reputation if news got out.

Uncertain about Jiang Lis capabilities, the Church didnt dare to confront him directly and chose to take it out on the black cat girl instead.

The Church used various tactics covertly, all of which were easily dismantled by Jiang Li.

The black cat girl returned home safely, despite all the surprises on the way.

Calling out to her mother twice and getting no response, the black cat girl saw that her mother was so ill she couldnt even open her eyes.

If she had been delayed on the way home, she feared she might not even be able to see her mother one last time.

Remembering the leaf in her hand, the black cat girl opened her mothers mouth to administer the medicine.

Strangely enough, the water that had clung to the leaf throughout the girls journey home, now easily dripped into her mothers mouth.

As seconds ticked by, the black cat girl paced anxiously about the room. Finally, her mother opened her eyes.

Am I... still alive? the mother looked utterly bewildered.

She had long been suffering from chronic heart pain, an injury she got from adventuring in the underground dungeon. They had never had the money to treat it, but she thought she could hold on.

Unfortunately, injuries and illnesses cannot be easily ignored. Her condition worsened over the past few years, and the cost of treatment by the priests skyrocketed. Eventually, she had to give up on getting treatment.

In these few days, her condition swiftly deteriorated. The burning sensation never left her body. She always pretended nothing was wrong whenever she saw the concerned looks from her daughter.

In reality, the pain was unbearable and left her nearly speechless.

If she werent bedridden from the pain, she wouldve gone to the underground dungeon to put an end to her suffering, not wanting her daughter to go begging for help everywhere.

When she woke, she realized the burning sensation was gone. A sensation of relief washed over her that she hadnt felt in a long time. It felt like divine nectar bathing her entire body.

The black cat girl burst into tears of joy and recounted to her mother the story of the emerging God of River and how he had saved her life with the gift of a few drops of water.

After this ordeal, both the black cat girl and her mother saw clearly. Instead of the greedy church, the River God was more trustworthy.

The mother and daughter started spreading word of the greatness of the River God, and news of the River God started to circulate in their area.

Similar incidents were happening all over the beast kingdom.

Not too far away from an underground dungeon, Li Er was watering a tree.

Bear clan big brother, what are you doing? A group of doe girls returning from triumphant raid on the underground dungeon, came across Li Er watering the tree, sparking their curiosity.

Li Er had a robust figure and dense body hair, much like a bear.

He did not mind being mistaken for a bear since he assumed the identity of a bear clan member when he was hanging around in the White Marsh Empire.

The bear clansman would be overjoyed, rather than opposed, to Li Ers choice.

Its much easier to blend into the monster clan as a monster than as a human being.

Watering, Li Er replied while gently watering a sapling with the River Gods water.

Is there something special about this tree?

This sapling is something I came upon by chance. I had a fifth-level magician named Lans use his Identification skill on it, and it was determined to be the first tree of creation, also referred to as the World Tree.

The doe girls looked at each other, baffled. No matter how hard they tried, they couldnt connect this small sapling to the first tree created in the world. They reckoned this bear clansman had been deceived.

Its well-known in the beast kingdom that, other than the roe deer tribe, the bear tribe is the most gullible.

Unfortunately, this sapling was born too early. When it came into existence, there was nothing but primordial chaos surrounding it. The chaotic forces suppressed its growth, keeping it small.

Being the World Tree, its life requirements are nothing ordinary. It needs to be nurtured with divine water bestowed by the God of the Primordial Chaotic River, only then can it sprout new buds.

Li Er scooped a ladle of water and said, This is the divine water given by the River God. Would you like a taste?

Weaned for poison resistance, the doe girls were not worried about toxins. Driven by their curiosity, they all had a taste. The water was sweet and refreshing.

Though the girls wanted another sip, Li Er stopped them.

The divine water is precious, and this is all I have. I have to reserve it for watering the World Tree.

The doe girls found Li Ers style of speech quite amusing, so they made a point to have a chat with him each time they returned from the underground dungeon.

Other adventurers also took note of Li Ers actions.

In no time, tales of a strange man watering a tree near the underground dungeon spread. The news was shared around for a good chuckle.

No one took the tales seriously, until one day, the dungeon was overrun with monsters that surged towards the nearest city.

This event sent chills down the spines of all three clans and was known as the Surge of Darkness.

Meanwhile, Li Er continued to water the World Tree sapling regularly, just as Jiang Li had instructed, unmoved by the chaos.
