Chapter 318: How many things do you need to live forever?
Immortals and gods are all beings who have begun to master the rules of heaven and earth. They are sublimators of body, soul and will, and are difficult to die.
But God Annan is indeed dead.
Lin Yuan put his finger close to the candlelight, placed the fragments of Annan's godhead in place, then took the tablet handed over by Lina and erected it in front of the statue.
The candle flickered, illuminating the name on the tablet.
"Xiao Lin, can he still live? I heard that the death of immortal gods is different from that of ordinary people." Lina looked up at the statue with a sad expression.
Lin Yuan shook his head: "I can't survive. His godhead is broken, his will is gone, and Nanutika died completely."
Lina was stunned and didn't speak.
Even the gods will die, what about the other old friends now?
Lina suddenly missed her good friends. There were very few people she could consider as friends. Thousands of years have passed. How is Delia in the Elf Forest?
Lin Yuan understood Lina's thoughts and comforted: "This world is a world of immortality. Nanutika's death was an abnormal death and an accident. Delia will be fine."
"Yeah." Lina responded softly.
"Let's go see her later." Lin Yuan said again, and a smile finally appeared on Lina's face.
When Lin Keke came over with another pile of firewood, he saw the two of them standing in front of the statue, their interest not as high as before.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this statue?"
Lin Keke threw down the firewood, came to the two of them in confusion and looked at the nearby statues, and soon discovered the newly erected tablet.
"The Great Immortal of Anbang Dingguo Zhennan." She read word by word, "Looking at the name, he looks like a good Immortal, but why is the statue so ugly?"
"My facial features are all lumped together and I can't see clearly at all. Do you know him?" Lin Keke asked.
"Yes. He is God Annan, a god who protects the Kingdom of Great Xia." Lina said.
"Oh, no wonder this temple is in such a dilapidated state. The Kingdom of Daxia is gone. It seems that this god is not having a good time either."
"There were gods of this kind of faith on some planets. They were very powerful, but it was difficult to leave the planet. As countries change dynasties and beliefs change, they will disappear on their own in as little as a hundred or as long as a thousand years." Lin Keke faced the statue of the god.
commented.
"Faith is poisonous, but Annan God actually follows the path of a civilized god, not those castles-in-the-air belief gods...Forget it, it's not much different." Lin Yuan opened his mouth to correct the mistakes in Lin Keke's words, mid-sentence.
Somewhat disinterested.
The power of civilization is something that at least the Star Master is qualified to come into contact with. The power of civilization he taught Nanutika was just a fake version he simulated.
Perhaps, the god of civilization itself is a pseudo-concept.
In this way, Nanutika was actually a victim of his experiment with the nature of civilization power.
…
The sky was completely dark, there was thunder, wind and rain outside the temple, and a huge fire rose inside the temple.
"...At that time, a 60-million-ton hydrogen bomb exploded, and King Sharo completely became history. In the huge explosion crater, Nanutika was born in the light of fire..."
Next to the brazier, Lin Yuan was holding a jade book with golden pages, telling the original story of Annan God.
Lin Keke listened with relish, and at the same time diligently added firewood to the basin to make the fire burn brightly.
Lina held her chin in her hands. Whenever Lin Yuan paused, her eyes would involuntarily fall on the jade book Lin Yuan held in both hands.
She always had a good eye and noticed early on that there were still too many pages in the jade book that had not been turned, and she could vaguely see countless words and pictures flowing on it.
There must be more stories written there. Lina thought expectantly.
Time gradually passed, and the iron pot propped up on the brazier continued to smoke, the water inside began to boil, and the lid of the iron pot jingled restlessly, and the milky white fish body could be seen looming.
At the same time, a thin beeping sound came from the red coals of the brazier, and the rich aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted out.
Lin Yuan closed the book and opened the lid of the iron pot. Immediately, the fish soup was fragrant and fragrant, and there were two neat sounds of swallowing saliva beside him.
Lin Yuan smiled and filled two bowls with a spoon, handed them to the two eager people, and used a wooden branch to scoop out the sweet potatoes from the charcoal fire.
"Let's eat, let's eat! This black dragon lake's special dragon-patterned whitetail fish should taste pretty good." Lin Yuan said enthusiastically.
This is the dinner for the three of them to stay at the temple tonight.
When it was time to go to bed late at night, Lina, who had eaten enough and was satisfied with listening to stories, rubbed her eyes and approached Lin Yuan, habitually wanting to sleep in his arms. Suddenly, she saw Lin Keke meditating on a knife beside her, and she was fascinated.
Hu's head immediately became clear.
After thinking and thinking, and struggling for a long time, Lina finally gave up her original plan and created a small bed next to Lin Yuan out of nowhere.
This is a more clever method than Lin Yuan used to create tea trees before, and there is no trace of it.
It's not because Lina's cultivation level is higher than Lin Yuan's, it's just because she is now half the owner of this world, and all the practitioners who understand the way of heaven are just her workers.
To a certain extent, in this world, she has the ability to make her wishes come true.
Lying on the bed unable to sleep, Lina looked boredly outside the temple.
On a stormy night, not even the insects screamed, and the black color was so dense that it could not be dispersed.
There seemed to be a candle flickering in the distance.
No, there was indeed fire.
Lina sat up excitedly and saw someone walking quickly in the night.
"Xiao Lin, someone is here." She quickly turned around and shook Lin Yuan, who was sleeping next to her.
"There is only one person. Could it be that he is also here to stay?" Lin Yuan relaxed his mind and confirmed the situation.
Not long after, a tall man with a short beard stepped into the temple courtyard.
Lin Keke, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, and the sword energy that escaped instantly split the fire in the brazier in half.
Lin Yuan raised his right hand to let the latter restrain his sharpness.
When the man saw the fire in the temple, he was stunned for a moment. When he saw Lin Yuan and the others clearly, he continued to walk into the temple.
In the eyes of men, except for Lin Yuan, who is at level 4, the other two girls are only at level 3, so they are not much of a threat.
Lin Yuan watched him coming with great interest.
The man's cultivation level was the same as what he pretended to be, which was level 4. For some reason, his body was covered with rainwater. After he stopped, the water droplets fell on the temple floor.
"I'm sorry, can you give me this brazier? I'll give you a better one."
The man took out a new brazier from the storage ring, lit the fire, and placed it in front of Lin Yuan.
"It's okay, you can take this brazier if you need it. It was originally something in the temple," Lin Yuan said.
"Thank you." The man bent down to thank him. From the corner of his eye, he saw the appearance of the girl next to Lin Yuan, and he was shocked.
But he didn't do anything extra. After getting Lin Yuan's reply, he extinguished the fire in the brazier, poured away the charcoal and ashes, and took out many colorful talismans from the storage ring and filled it in.
After that, the man carefully cleaned the dust in the temple. When he saw the tablet in front of the statue, he was stunned again.
He remembered that this old tablet had been lost a long time ago, but he didn't expect that it would be back here again.
"I found it. Are you a monk in this temple?" Lin Keke said with interest.
"It used to be." The man's eyes were melancholy, and then he bent down and bowed sincerely to Lin Keke, "Thank you, Miss, for helping to find my god's amulet."
"Oh, so actually you still are." Lin Keke said with certainty.
The man smiled bitterly and nodded, "But my god is no longer here."
After speaking, he respectfully put incense in the incense burner, retreated to the brazier, lit the talisman, and recited the scriptures with all his heart.
The scripture is obscure and complicated, and it probably means praying for blessings, remembering, and living well.
Seeing the man's pious look, Lin Yuan and the others felt a little embarrassed.
Previously, they used the brazier used by others to roast sweet potatoes. I hope this man will never know the truth.
With the addition of a stranger, Lin Yuan and the others naturally couldn't sleep as casually as before.
The meeting was also fate. After the man's worship was completed, he was also curious about how Lin Yuan and others came here, and the few of them chatted away.
Hundreds of years ago, the Great Xia Kingdom fell apart, and overnight, all the divine envoys lost contact with the God Annan.
Immediately afterwards, the magic began to fail, and all the statues of God Annan in the temple seemed to have been heavily mosaic-ed and turned into a blur.
People tried for a long time and finally had to admit the fact: the god Annan disappeared along with Daxia.
"My father was once a great divine envoy, and his strength can be classified into the fifth level. After the death of the divine being, he went crazy and hid in this temple. Later, he also disappeared." The man sighed.
"You are staying here, not only to worship the gods, but also waiting for your father to come back?" Lin Yuan asked.
The man nodded, "Maybe one day he will come back. God is everything to him. And he is the one I don't miss much when I'm alive."
"I don't know what happened. The Black Death Immortal awakened and the Rhinoceros Jungle disappeared. Could it be that another powerful human being came to attack it? Fortunately, the temple is still there." The man said happily.
In order to confirm the situation in the temple, he moved forward cautiously, not daring to release any fluctuations in mana, for fear of attracting the attention of unknown beings. Now he could finally relax.
"I know his father. I have part of the memory of the Black Death Immortal. Its wisdom was obtained by devouring a human divine envoy." Doujiao, who had been listening silently, secretly said to Lin Yuan through the transmission of his spiritual thoughts.
"That means he is dead."
Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell the man about it.
He knew that this man was also from the spirit world. He was a thousand years old and his mind had long since entered aging.
It is better to have hope than no hope.
"I heard that there is a spiritual connection between people. Your father will come to you one day." Lina comforted the man.
"Thanks."
"But I have already looked away. There are many things that no amount of time can restore. When God leaves, I will be the only one left in this temple."
"Humans, after all, cannot live forever like this land."
"One day, I will forget this temple, forget Daxia on the earth and star, forget those people, my gods. Before that, being able to spend every day with peace of mind is my rare happiness."
The man smiled broadly and looked calm.
The talisman paper burned brightly in the brazier, and the fragments around the fire flew around. The air current swept them up into the air, and were blown by the wind into the rainy night outside the temple, as if they were leading to another world.
