Master of Strange Dao

The intense thoughts converged into a river of stars, falling from an unseen, intangible place, continuously flowing into Queue No.1.

Beneath the earth, a seedling broke through the soil, then rapidly grew, blossoming into a flower.

Inside the flower's heart, a small human form, made of pure light, curled up there.

The little light figure moved slightly, slowly supporting its body to stand up, stepping out from the heart of the yellow flower.

It kept growing, yet still retained that pure light form.

"You achieve your true form by receiving the most sincere prayers of people, thus people think you should be in human form, so you are in human form.

But no one knows what you truly look like, so you remain formless as the Flower God.

For now, this is the best state; the Second True Form is not so easily attained."

Queue No.1 was satisfied with its current form, an incomplete Second True Form is still a Second True Form. At least from now on, it did not have to worry about unexpectedly dissipating within the year.

It shrank down, transforming into a light man the size of a fingernail, landing in Yu Ziqing's palm.

Yu Ziqing looked back at the town, since this worked, the next steps should also be fine.

After Insects awaken, sowing begins, marking the start of a year's hard work.

Yu Ziqing traveled the world, observing the effects brought by the single thunderous drum, which indeed smoothed things out considerably, at least the beginning was better than in previous years.

By June, the weather turned hot, marking the busiest time of the year.

Once this period passes, many crops can't be planted anymore.

The activities held by the people naturally were not as grand as in early spring, but now there was another event, sending off the Flower God.

In early spring, they welcomed the Flower God, bringing a profusion of blooming flowers. At this time, it was to send off the Flower God, returning her to her place, bidding her farewell.

A few months ago, the Flower God they welcomed was now carried out of the town, but this time, the covering red cloth was gone.

The statue was of a girl with smiling eyes, holding a small yellow flower.

Behind her was a group of girls with flower crowns, joining in sending off the Flower God.

Yu Ziqing stood atop the mountain, with the little light man in his hand, feeling the power coming from all directions, the little light man also began to react.

Yu Ziqing tossed it onto the ground.

Its form, originally only human-shaped and featureless, began to grow, with its gender-neutral form slowly shaping into the silhouette of a young girl.

The light gradually dimmed, revealing a girl identical to the statue, standing there with her eyes closed.

When the light completely faded, the girl slowly opened her eyes, surprised yet touched.

"This..."

"You mentioned that when you first met Zhen, you appeared like this, didn't you?"

"Yes...yes, that's right, but..." She stammered, not knowing how to express herself.

"As a person, it's good to have hope. I think he might not be dead, and even if he is, there may be reincarnation. If you meet one day, he will surely recognize you at a glance."

"Tha...thank you..." Tears welled up in the Flower God's eyes, not knowing Yu Ziqing remembered these details.

"No need to thank me, you already have the First True Form. Attaining the Second True Form in one go is too demanding; it takes two rounds.

One to gather strength, one to burst forth, to foster attachment during comings and goings. Everyone hopes for your return next year.

These strengths, these hopes, will ensure you fully possess the Second True Form.

As for the physical appearance of the Second True Form, it's not that important, easy to achieve.

I think you will surely like this Second True Form, right?

Regarding the path to ascend, it will become quite straightforward.

Just as I said, you will be far more intertwined with humanity than others."

The Flower God was deeply moved, no longer concerned with being bound or not.

She could condense and maintain the Second True Form all due to people's reluctance and affection, naturally binding her more deeply than the Matchstick Man and others.

"As for your ascension path, on Insects awaken day, you may strike the Heavenly Drum.

For the rest of the year, just tending to flowers is enough.

It may not be the strongest, but it will certainly be very stable."

"I am already very satisfied, it's wonderful, I love it." The Flower God sobbed, not expecting such goodness upon emerging.

Yu Ziqing smiled broadly, unable to resist rubbing his hands.

"Excellent, after all, all crops must flower and bear fruit, you certainly will not lack worshippers.

As for cultivating flowers, with your talent, no one could surpass you.

Later, I'll find you some seeds, you might even cultivate flowers never seen before.

For example, you might try cultivating flowers that bloom amidst the ice and snow of the Wilderness.

You could also try cultivating some that grow and bloom on the Bright Moon.

These are all excellent."

Yu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh, his smile becoming increasingly peculiar.

Queue No.1 had finally, like Che Lun and Matchstick, evolved to the third stage.

This, according to All Gods, was already a stage of distorted reason.

Yet it was the state closest to humanity.

Yang had sealed off the Southern Sea and ignored people. He invested in them to study Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass, but these years, there was no response at all.

These Deans, reliable when called Deans respectfully.

When unreliable, even calling them fund-defrauders is being polite.

Oh well, push him hard enough, might as well create a deity to work as a flower farmer for him.

Just can't believe a Flower God couldn't create a Spirit Flower that can live long-term on the Bright Moon, well-adapted and thriving in all ways.

Eventually, after relocating Silver Lake or not, cultivate Spirit Flowers particularly suited for growing near Silver Lake.

Now the pressure lands on the Deans. Let's see what they do about it.
