This opportunity ca quickly.
An unusual drought occurred in the northwest of the Lotte Empire.
Although the Empire sent nurous water series mages and took many redial asures, the data reported daily from the northwest region still made Phibit very irritable.
Such matters, if it were in the Glory Era, could be resolved simply by the Believers of the Water God praying for divine protection.
But now the Water God has long fallen into slumber, and there are no longer any believers.
People today probably can’t even think of praying to the divinities as a solution.
After waiting two days and seeing that Phibit had no intention of finding him, Gu Shengyin sighed inwardly at how low human reliance on divinities had beco, and got up to find Emperor Phibit.
Inside the Emperor’s palace:
"The tea is so hot!" Phibit, highly impatient, threw the tea he was holding, cup and all, to the ground.
The maid responsible for serving the tea knelt on the ground, trembling. She was usually quite favored, but at this mont she was very fearful at heart.
Their Emperor was a particularly capricious person. When in a good mood, he could casually grant you countless treasures, but when he’s not happy, he could just as casually take your life.
Today’s tea was clearly brewed at the Emperor’s favorite temperature, but because he was in a bad mood, if he said it was too hot, it could only be her fault.
Phibit looked coldly at the woman kneeling before him, cruelty flickering in his eyes.
Just as he was about to order her taken away, a faint, gentle voice ca from outside.
"Your Majesty, your heart needs to calm down."
It was as if a cool breeze arose out of nowhere, enveloping Phibit in a feeling as gentle as water, calming his restless heart of the past few days.
Gu Shengyin’s figure appeared in the great hall.
Phibit squinted and glanced at Gu Shengyin, then lowered his eyes to the maid kneeling on the ground, finally spitting out a cold word: "Get out!"
The maid, as if granted amnesty, quickly cleaned up the debris on the ground and stood up, casting a grateful glance at Gu Shengyin as she passed.
Everyone in the great hall retreated quietly, leaving Phibit quietly watching Gu Shengyin.
"What brings the Oracle here?"
Gu Shengyin smiled and said: "Naturally, I ca for Your Majesty’s troubles."
Phibit sneered: "My troubles, my troubles are..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly widened his eyes at Gu Shengyin: "You have a solution?"
Gu Shengyin smiled with both compassion and helplessness: "I’ve ntioned before, on this continent, there are few problems the Goddess of Nature cannot solve. Unfortunately..."
When Phibit heard that the Goddess of Nature could solve this, his eyes lit up.
But Gu Shengyin stopped speaking mid-sentence, prompting him to urgently ask: "Unfortunately what?"
Gu Shengyin’s expression was imnsely sorrowful: "Unfortunately, the world lacks faith. Without enough belief, human prayers cannot be heard by the Goddess of Nature, and she cannot intervene in worldly matters."
The Emperor furrowed his brows: "Can the Oracle explain this in more detail?"
Gu Shengyin: "..." As expected, lacking insight. If Royd were here, he would imdiately understand what I want.
So she smiled and explained to Phibit that what the Goddess of Nature requires is human prayer; the more sincere the heart, the greater the likelihood that the Goddess of Nature can hear, and the more power she can wield.
