The temple in Thunder City belongs to the Temple of Life.
But there are too many temples of life in this world, and people are more accustomed to calling this temple the Temple of Thunder.
Several stone demons pulled tall and wide wooden divine chariots with several layers of wood, starting from the Thunder Temple and walking through the wide streets.
on it.
Liz, the snake girl, is covered in gold accessories and sitting cross-legged behind the curtain with a veil on her face.
She is currently patrolling the world on behalf of the giant god in the sky.
And below, there were a large number of boys and girls following them. They wore special clothes and looked like servants in the Kingdom of God.
The Thunder Temple, a religious sect in this world, is just like a human being at this moment.
When a person has any flaws, he will show his strength in this aspect, fearing that others will discover his flaws, and will do everything possible to cover them up.
The less they possess the legitimacy recognized by the gods, the less likely they are to accept the oracle.
They worked harder to prove that God was constantly giving them revelations, to prove that they were favored by God, and to prove that this country was under God's protection.
The witch has descended into the world.
This is evidence that strongly proves their legitimacy.
They wished that everyone would know about this and spread the news everywhere that the apostle chosen by the Sky Giant God had appeared.
Thus, the current scene appeared.
Before the Witch Festival begins, they are very keen to create such a scene of travel, so that the person chosen by the god can represent the god and accept the worship of the believers.
After all, after the Witch's Sacrifice is completed, the witch and her servants will return to the Kingdom of God, and they will no longer be able to hold such a scene as now.
The believers in Thunder City are also very keen to participate in this worship.
There are even people who come from very far away places just to pay homage to "Her Highness the Witch".
"Kukukukukuku~"
The stone ball on the lower body of the stone demon rotated, making a sound while the ground slowly shook.
"Apostle of God, please protect me."
"Great Sky Titan, I finally see your apostle."
"The god who rules the sky and thunder..."
Wherever they passed, believers lay on the ground devoutly, looking at the shaking sand on the ground and saying prayers.
"Your Highness the Witch, you are really Your Highness the Witch." Someone stepped forward enthusiastically, but was blocked by others.
"Look at how majestic and noble she is. She is an existence that came from the Kingdom of God, but was born in the human world with the help of this body." After having the aura of the chosen one by God, Liz seemed to be shining in the eyes of mortals.
The Snake Girl is high up. From this angle, everyone must look up to her, but no one dares to really look directly at her or meet her eyes.
Liz looked at thousands of people looking at her as if they were gods. At first, she felt panicked and uneasy.
But later on, she gradually became calmer.
Because the chief attendant of the Thunder Temple told her that they were not worshiping her, but worshiping the gods.
And Liz was just replacing the gods to accept the worship of these people.
If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem to be unacceptable.
Because I am doing things for God.
What a glorious thing this is!
With her head held high, Liz looked lofty; because she now represented the gods and needed to show the majesty of the gods.
"This is Your Highness."
"Under the temple, the world will do it for you."
"I am the witch, and I am accepting their faith on behalf of the gods."
If before, Liz still had some doubts about whether she was the chosen one.
She was unsure and had doubts in her heart occasionally. How could God choose me?
But now, she is convinced beyond a doubt.
Because so many people are saying that she is a believer of God, including the divine attendants of the temple, His Majesty the King, noble ministers, and people from the entire Thunder City and even the entire Leize Kingdom.
So many people are saying that she is, so she must be.
It's a pity that Liz doesn't understand that it's not the servants of God and the king who decide whether she is an apostle of God, let alone the country and the mortals who live here.
It is the silent stone statue in the temple, the god above the sea of clouds looking down on the world.
The king also personally came to greet the divine chariot, prostrate himself on the ground and kowtow.
"Your Highness the Witch."
"I hope God can always guide us, and I hope God can always protect this country."
The king and nobles bowed humbly and lowered their heads.
In front of the gods, no matter whether they are kings, nobles or commoners, they all have only one title.
mortal.
Liz, who was originally just an ordinary fisherman, now solemnly crossed her arms and made a pious gesture.
With a cold and arrogant voice, he said to this group of mortals.
"God will protect you."
She seems to be getting used to her identity——
There are many rivers outside Thunder Swamp, as well as large and small lakes.
Next to the turn of a wide river that flows outside Thunder Swamp, there is a dock not too far away from Thunder City. Thousands of craftsmen have been summoned here.
The witch has been chosen, and the rest will naturally be to send Her Highness the witch to the kingdom of God.
Therefore, the Leize Kingdom still needs to build several special large ships and ships of special styles.
By the time.
Her Highness the Witch and her servants will take these ships to go to the Kingdom of God in Thunder Swamp.
Building these ships naturally requires a large number of craftsmen, civilians, and a large amount of suitable materials.
Just now, the civilians of Leize Kingdom were plowed through by the selection of the witch, and then a large number of civilians and craftsmen were summoned here to build ships day and night.
Not only that, many powerful people were summoned just to complete this gift to the gods on time.
No, it can't be called a gift, but a box for holding gifts.
The dock shipbuilding workshop is lit with many special gas lamps produced in the Land of the Rising Sun. There is a fire demon on a stone platform that shines light to illuminate the darkness. Powerful people guard it on the stone tower.
Below, there were various urging sounds, and even sounds of beatings and curses.
"quick."
"Don't stop, who dares to stop?"
"Everyone, get up."
The supervisors stood under mountains of lumber or stood on the river bank, eyeing the sweating coolies.
"This is Her Highness the Witch's vehicle. It is a ship heading to the Kingdom of God. It is a gift to the gods."
"If you miss the time, the gods will punish you by not being able to enter the kingdom of God, wandering alone in the darkness forever, and suffering eternal suffering."
"You are building ships for the gods now, do you understand?"
"If we miss the time, all of us will die."
Working day and night to collect suitable giant trees and materials, a lot of manpower, labor and craftsmen's lives were spent.
The Leize Kingdom finally built a beautiful box specially designed to hold gifts as scheduled.
This is a special building boat, a hill that shuttles on the river, a giant in the eyes of ordinary people.
It is not a warship, but more like a work of art.
Gorgeous and atmospheric.
Shipbuilding workshop, along the river bank.
The sweaty and exhausted craftsmen and laborers looked at this big ship and were very excited.
"It's finished."
"It's finally finished."
"It was completed on time and there were no delays."
"We don't have to die, we don't have to die."
"We will not be banished to darkness after death, the gods will reward us."
These craftsmen and laborers stopped one by one, and even rushed into the river boldly, bathed in it and called out.
These people are like crazy, and these days have indeed driven them crazy.
The overseers, bureaucrats, and powerful people in charge of shipbuilding did not care. They were relieved at this moment, and they finally built it.
And the other side.
The Chief Divine Attendant of the Thunder Temple also received this news. For him, the Witch's Sacrifice can be held on time, and you can see a smile on his face.
He came to the temple where Liz lived and talked to the witch from a distance outside the hall.
"Your Highness the Witch, your ship has been built."
"This is the style of the ship. If you have any questions, you can tell me."
A waiter took the drawing and brought it to Liz.
After reading the picture, Liz felt shocked.
But she immediately concealed the shock on her face. As an apostle of the gods, no matter what happened, she should not be surprised. She should remain calm in the face of everything.
"I think it's good."
"It looks like a cloud, I like it very much."
The Chief Divine Attendant of the Thunder Temple saluted again: "Then everything is settled."
The Chief Divine Attendant withdrew and began to arrange the next matters.
The snake girl Liz hurried to the main hall and started another round of devout prayers.
She is now very strict in demanding that her prayer posture must reach the most standard appearance, just like those old divine attendants, and the arias she sings when she sings hymns must be beautiful, just like those famous singers.
She trained again, but she couldn't feel it was enough.
Because she is about to go to see the gods.
She imagined what kind of posture she would use to worship and what kind of voice she would use to praise the greatness of the gods if she saw them.
However, the more I think about it, the less perfect I feel.
She prostrated herself before God until dark.
When you are alone.
She looked up at the statue and finally felt that her heart was at peace.
"How majestic the sky giant will be?"
“Will I see God?”
Liz asked herself and answered: "I will definitely see God."
At this time, she suddenly heard the sound of thunder in the distance.
But when it enters the ears, it seems that it is not thunder.
She seemed to hear the voice of God.
The other party was calling her name with a voice so majestic that it expanded between heaven and earth.
"Liz~"
Liz was so moved that she even shed tears.
It's just that she doesn't really believe in God despite her seeming piety, and she couldn't transform from a fisherman to a true believer in a short period of time.
She didn't even know what kind of existence gods were, and she had never thought about where her faith came from or why she believed in the giant god in the sky.
She was just obsessed with the identity of Her Highness the Witch.
People usually can't tell the difference themselves.
It's like people can't always tell the difference. Sometimes what they say is good for you is not really good for others. In fact, it's just a strong desire to control others.
Sometimes the love you talk about is not really love, but an inescapable dependence.
But the more I say it, the more I believe it in my heart——
The city of the gods on the sea of clouds.
On the edge of the misty Lost Kingdom, there is a dreamy fairy tale-like airship docked.
At this moment, a girl wearing a dark dress and red leather boots was standing at the very edge of the kingdom of the sky. The clouds under her feet were thick and dense, like cotton wool.
It feels like it doesn't matter if you fall like this, the thick clouds can hold you up like a bed.
Sally's hands grasped the whistle that Yin Shen gave her, and she wiped it with great enthusiasm.
Then stuffed it into his mouth.
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded.
It's not too loud, and the sound isn't very pleasant either.
But Sally was very happy and liked it very much.
Sally is summoning the giant sky beast, but this whistle does not seem to be used for the All-Things Mother Spiral. This may be the first time she has summoned the giant sky beast in this way.
Maybe it didn't reach the ears of the giant beast in the sky immediately, and the sound had to be allowed to fly for a while.
"Woo~"
"Hmm~"
The soles of her little leather boots tapped the stone impatiently. Sally looked unhappy that it came so slowly.
I just want to summon the mother snail of all things and blow it once in the human world.
fortunately.
Soon, the vast sea of clouds in the sky rippled, and the huge sea of clouds formed a giant shadow, flying towards Sally, the mother of life.
The clouds in the clear sky turned into a huge shadow, but because it was too huge, ordinary people looking up from the ground could not see the whole thing.
Dense clouds hovered around Sally, converging into a cloud vortex-like place.
Salute to the Lord of life.
Yun Huawei's figure was like a huge pet showing kindness to its owner, rubbing against her leather boots.
This is the partial manifestation of the consciousness of the sky beast.
Its body carries the continent and cannot be moved, so it can only meet its dominant god in this way.
And when her master god summoned her, he also had a "very important" task for her.
"Big jellyfish!"
"so slow."
"You are disobedient, this is the whistle of God Insai."
"I blew twice, but you haven't come over yet."
Sally is not a polite person. She usually shows her happiness and unhappiness on her face and will not hide any emotions.
This is true even in front of Yin Shen.
In the past, when God Yin made her unhappy, she would often sit at the door of the pyramid temple.
He kept humming with his nose from morning to night.
That's how she got her whistle.
The giant sky beast immediately explained to the dominant god.
There was a slight sound of wind in the air, and the clouds spread.
The giant sky beast felt aggrieved. Although the whistle was made by the God of Sai, it was just a whistle he made casually.
Although it has special meaning to Sally, its power and characteristics are naturally very different from the supreme artifact such as the mother snail of all things.
Sally nodded.
"Come here early next time. Except for God and Sheila, no one has ever dared to keep me waiting."
The giant beast in the sky hovered around Sally, and the clouds and mist rubbed against the corners of her clothes and leather boots, humbly trying to please the master.
She stood on tiptoe on the edge of the City of Gods, looking at the world below and speaking to the giant beast in the sky.
"I want to slide down from here, and I want to slide all the way to the other side of the sea."
"How can you do it for me?"
The giant beast in the sky still whispered like the wind, which was grand yet gentle at the same time.
Such a powerful god, a giant.
So cautious in front of Sally.
"Um!"
"Using clouds as a ladder?"
"It seems pretty good."
Sally's eyes lit up and she felt that the Sky Beast's proposal was a good one.
She likes it very much.
If a few more ladders like this were built in the sky, wouldn't the entire Ruhe Island really be her playground and back garden?
The sea of clouds in the sky is her slide, the underground caves are her maze, and the lava volcanoes are her fireworks.
"When will it be built?"
"Hurry up."
Sally didn't notice that what she said at this moment was exactly the same as the overseers under the clouds who were urging the craftsmen to work.
Sally put down her whistle with satisfaction, and the shadow of the giant beast in the sky disappeared.
The clouds did not disappear, but spread out of control.
Her plan was a complete success, and her plan to come to the human world was finally coming to fruition.
In those seas of sunflowers, can everything be transformed into a little fairy?
The goblins didn't.
the other side.
In the Palace of Wisdom, the supreme gods also noticed the recent movements in the Leize Kingdom.
Yin Shen was sitting outside the birdcage-shaped glass-covered garden, with a stone chair in the style of the Trifoliate Civilization of the previous era placed on the stone-paved ground, quietly looking at the sea of clouds and sunshine in the distance.
She looks very comfortable, and she seems to like this quiet and comfortable behavior and life.
On the other side of the glass-covered garden, a blond girl sat on a metal hanging basket.
She is looking at the world with her magic mirror.
His fingers were swiping back and forth on the mirror, adjusting the picture.
"god!"
"We seemed to be seen by mortals when we arrived."
In fact, to be precise, it was not Yin Shen and the others who were seen by mortals, but the movements of the giant beasts in the sky greeting Yin Shen and the others were seen by the gods, and then Oran's god-like apostle appearance was seen by the snake man.
This scene now.
Sheila continued to look and found that the mortals were preparing to sacrifice the giant sky beast and send several ships to the depths of Thunder Swamp.
"They actually want to send people here. Don't they know that mortals can't get in here?"
"Those people will all die. This is not a place where mortals can survive."
The clouds deep in Thunder Swamp are not real clouds, but the breath of the giant beast in the sky.
The supreme gods may not care about these clouds at all, but once mortals and living creatures touch these clouds, they will turn into foam in the blink of an eye.
Before this, only one existence had broken into this place.
However, the other party is not a human being, or even a living being, but a partner.
"they know."
"Sheila."
Yin Shen seemed to have known it for a long time, as she stared into the distance motionless.
Looking at the sea of clouds is like looking at the horizon.
Looking at the cloud light is like watching the setting sun.
Sheila seems to be a little emotional, is she sad? Maybe she also doesn’t understand?
"Why would they send people in if they knew it?"
God's back was turned to Sheila, and only the back of the seat could be seen.
Looking at it from this angle, the other person is sitting in the middle of a sea of blood-colored flowers, with a sea of clouds and light forming a line in the distance.
When God sits on the chair, he becomes the center point of this world, the only one in eternity.
"Because this is a sacrifice."
God answered very slowly, and you could not hear the emotion in his voice.
Sheila said: "But God does not need their sacrifices."
"The behemoths in the sky did not ask for their sacrifices, and they never paid attention to them."
"and."
"In the eyes of mortals, are gods just human-eating monsters?"
God answered Sheila: "Because in the eyes of mortals, the most precious sacrifice they can offer is themselves."
"Everything else is given to them by the gods."
"Mortals have no way of knowing what God will think, they only know what they themselves think."
"They use their own hearts to speculate on gods, and they only believe what they want to believe."
"When they are willing to believe, even a cloud in the sky can be a miracle."
"When they don't want to believe, when a miracle is placed before them, they don't want to admit it."
Silla sighed: "Why do bad things always happen wherever we appear?"
"We obviously didn't do anything, but things like this will always happen."
The Eternal Creator in white robes was still sitting with his back, talking to Sheila in a light voice.
"Every move of the gods affects the world, even if you do nothing."
"Sheila."
"When you exist in this world, you are destined to influence the world and everyone."
"What we do is not to do nothing, but to stand at the front of the road."
"As for the rest, let them make their own choices."
"They can choose to follow, they can choose another path, or they can choose to stay where they are."
"There is no right or wrong in every choice. The important thing is that you can choose."
The light at the end of the sky stretched longer and longer, gradually turning into a line.
Because the sun was just level with the sea of clouds.
This scene was so beautiful, especially what Sheila saw at this moment, that she, the master of dreams, felt an indescribable sense of beauty and shock.
Even though she has seen all kinds of dreams, she is still the supreme god who creates dreams.
She looked at the back of God Yinsai, the Creator sitting in the center of the clouds and sea of flowers.
She saw shadows and lights in her eyes.
She saw flowers and a sea of clouds.
She saw the real god at this moment, the god she believed in.
God's voice reached Sheila's ears.
"The gods in their eyes are affecting them, but it is they who ultimately decide their own destiny."
"Some people see God's shadow falling into darkness, and some people see the light in God's back."
"It's not that God gave him light and darkness, but that he already had light and darkness in his heart."
"God's shadow is just a mirror, reflecting their hearts."
"Sheila, it's not just us who are influencing them."
"It's more about them making the choice."
Just like what the saint Tito once said.
God has left the choice of destiny to man, and his destiny is in his own hands.
certainly.
The man mentioned by Saint Tito also includes the gods of this era, because the god he talks about is the only god of the Trifoliate people.
Each of these gods made different choices, and saw different lights and shadows in their hearts.
When they want the Creator to be merciful, they firmly believe that the Creator is merciful; when they themselves are cold and aloof, they believe that the Creator is also coldly looking down at the world, playing a game of harvesting civilization.
Sheila sighed.
She had seen this kind of foolish behavior of mortals too many times, and it seemed that she could do nothing but feel helpless and sad.
She had intervened and even begged the god Insai.
But the final outcome was never what she imagined.
Yin Shen seemed to hear Silla's sigh and said the last thing.
"Sheila!"
"Your eyes are full of compassion, and you can only see these pitiful things."
"In Sally's eyes, the world is a fun paradise, so everything she sees is happy."
"Sheila."
"It's not that disasters happen everywhere we go, but that bad things happen along with good things everywhere, but you don't notice or see them."
"Some people fell during the sacrifice and fell into darkness."
"Some people look up to the sun in the darkness and walk towards the light."
Sally also came to the garden at this time, and happened to hear the conversation between Sheila and Yin Shen, and heard the mortals sacrificing human beings to the giant beast in the sky.
The giant sky beast is Sally's servant, or her pet beast.
After hearing this, Sally ran outside again.
She blew the whistle given to her by the god Insai again.
"Beep beep~"
This time, the giant beast in the sky arrived quickly, and the thousands of miles of clouds in the sky were once again controlled by a will.
Sally asked towards the sea of clouds: "Big jellyfish."
"Do you still like cannibals?"
"Snake-man is not the ancestral fish, and is not food for you!"
Although the Snake People are not Archeopteryx, their ancestors are Archeopteryx.
Billions of years ago, the god Yinsai gave food to the three-leaf people.
Hundreds of millions of years later, the ancient fishes were already extinct, but their descendants are all over the world.
The special lizard that Sally chose originally, a weird lizard without legs, evolved from the descendants of Archeopteryx.
This species was once cultivated by the Sanye people in the lakes of the God-given land, and accidentally slipped into the ocean through a gap. Now it has become an important part of the world's ecology and biosphere.
In the future, we don’t know what will be born and what kind of miracles will be created.
The big jellyfish was very confused when he heard the question from the Lord of Life.
She checked for a long time, her eyes sweeping across the earth, before she understood what had happened.
"oh!"
"It turns out that mortals forced it on you, and you didn't ask for it yourself."
Sally didn't take it seriously. What she cared about was whether the giant sky beast had made a mistake, or to be more precise, it had made a mistake in front of the God of Insai.
But now it wasn't the giant beast in the sky who made a mistake in front of the God of Insai, so she didn't care.
The master of life leaves.
The giant sky beast that originally spoke softly, with a voice like the wind passing through the pasture, made other moves.
The clouds are sinking down to the earth, getting closer to the ground.
At this moment, the giant beast in the sky let out a roar.
It was no longer a humble whisper, but a loud sound that reverberated between heaven and earth.
Dense thunder reverberated in the clouds, erupting with terrifying power and shocking to the extreme.
Distant dock shipbuilding workshop.
At this moment, everyone raised their heads and saw a sudden change in the sky.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Thank you for your concern. The author is fine. In fact, he was not even frightened. At that time, he heard Dong's sound, and then he was completely confused. When he got off the car, he found himself in the middle of the intersection. Nothing happened.
Sure enough, it was due to good luck. Of course, there was also the reason why the big car braked the car, dragging it a long way on the road with the brake mark.
In addition, everyone should avoid that big car when driving. The back of my car has shrunk, and there is nothing wrong with it; but in my situation this time, it feels useless.
When the traffic light slowed down a bit, the big car saw that the traffic light was about to go and wanted to rush past me, so it hit me right away.
And in the end, no points were deducted from the opponent, but they were fined two hundred yuan, and the rest was covered by insurance.
