"You saw the revival of the ancient gods last night? Oh, I see. "
At the edge of the forest, in the middle of a large group of sword-wielding cultists, "Steamed Crab" Rodney weakly responded to Old Wood's words with a pitiful expression.
The gray-haired and white-bearded Old Wood was the previous village chief of the village. He had been in charge of the village for many years when Rodney was young. Originally, he had retired after handing over the reins to Rodney, who had returned from a long journey with treasures. But this time, the village was in danger. There were many enemies, so Rodney had no choice but to ask the old village chief for help.
Old Wood was a Level 3 Source Ranker. Although he was old, he was more than capable of dealing with some Level 4 Source Rankers. But as the saying goes, every family has its own difficulties. Old Wood did not collapse during the battle, but after the battle, the price he had to pay was easily reversed.
Old Wood's price was very simple … It was stupidity. From the perspective of a Luo Ya modern person, it was a bit like Alzheimer's.
Therefore, when Wood descended from the sky and began to tell Rodney about the resurrection of the gods, Rodney felt that this guy was crazy. However, Wood was the former village chief, and Rodney, who respected the old and loved the young, could not refute him. He could only say, "Yes, yes, yes, yes."
"Damn it! Brat, I'm telling the truth! I've paid the price! I'm not crazy! "
"Yes, the village chief is wise. Do you have anything else?"
"I … Curry! You tell him! "
Looking at Rodney who was trying to play with him, Old Wood beat his chest and stomped his feet in anger. In the end, he had no choice but to pull over a young man with a dog. The blue-haired young man named Curry stroked the dog and began to testify for Old Wood's words.
"A few?"
"Yes, and we all described it afterwards. The scene we saw was basically the same."
Curry stroked the dog's head and began to describe in detail. Those who had Spirit Vision were all Extraordinaires who had obtained Origin Substances and were inclined towards magic. The scene they saw was slightly different, but it was generally the same.
"The image of a young man standing on the shoulder of a giant skeleton … This, did you see it clearly?"
Rodney finished steaming and asked for details with a confused and doubtful expression, but the answers he received did not satisfy him.
The giant skeleton could be explained as the giant's appearance after death, but the young man standing on the giant's shoulder, no matter how one looked at it, didn't they have an equal relationship? But how could humans be on equal footing with giants?
Giants were a race on the same level as angels in myths and legends. It could be said that their concept was not much different from that of gods. Would such an existence allow a human to step on their shoulders?
"But, it really is a human youth. That height and build, but I can't see his face clearly …"
"Curry, you don't understand. This is very normal. Most of the great existences can't be seen directly. From this point of view, that young man may be the messenger of God!"
"The emissary of God is the Holy Son?"
"Yes, the Holy Son!"
"Wait, wait, wait a moment."
Rodney stood up and stopped the two excited people. He began to pull the dog-headed guard captain and the intermittent Alzheimer patient back to reality.
The pagans were different from the Xi Ya believers. Although they were divided into different sects and had different Origin Substances, many of them did not believe in the gods of their sects. One of the reasons was that their identity as a pagan did not bring them any benefits. Another reason was that most of the gods of their sects had already died, leaving only the Origin Substances for humans to use.
The pagans in Rodney's village all belonged to the faction of the Origin Substance [Power]. Most of them had respect for the ancient gods, but that was when the ancient gods died or were in a deep sleep. When the source of the [Power] Origin Substance awakened again, they would definitely be affected.
On the bright side, the awakening of the ancient gods would strengthen the entire Origin Substance. All the pagans who used the [Power] Origin Substance would gradually become stronger in the future. It was like the appearance of a leader activating the entire team. The closer they were to the source, the stronger they would be, and the smoother their development would be.
But from a bad point of view, the ancient gods were terrifying existences on the path of ascension. They were likely to influence individuals downstream through the connection of the sefirah. The most typical example was the conversion of some pagans into cultists. Many pagans did not become cultists of their own volition, but the corruption of the ancient gods upstream of the sefirah had affected them.
This subjective uncontrollability could be said to be an important reason why the mainstream human community refused to use the Origin Substances other than the three major Origin Substances. Now, Rodney and the others had to face such a risk.
"From the situation of Spirit Vision, it seems that he has no intention of controlling us. Of course, it could also be that our gazes are not threatening at all and did not attract his attention at all," Wood stroked his beard and said.
Wood said while stroking his beard. Just like how humans would not notice the eyes of ants when they were walking, it was normal for great beings to ignore small human beings. However, from this point of view, ignoring them seemed to be equivalent to not knowing how to manipulate them. It seemed to be a good thing.
"If we can find that young man, the Son of God, we might be able to ask for the protection of the gods through him. But the location …"
The old man frowned and sighed. So far, they had too little information, and there was nothing they could do. Rodney listened for a while, reorganized his emotions, and began to talk about his findings.
"I know what you're talking about, but we don't have the time to discuss it in detail. The Marta Conglomerate has their eyes on us. They want the 'Scale of the Serpent God.' It seems that there's a force that wants to buy it at a high price. I just forced them to tell me this."
"There's a force behind the Marta Conglomerate?"
