For the indigenous tribes on Inferno, the impact of the sudden change of the world had not completely passed.
The clouds covering the grassland had dissipated, and the canopy of the First Born, Toka, which was once the upper crust, had been stripped away. The sun had reappeared, and various large plants and extinct animals had returned to the world. The "goddess" Vivian had brought about the rise of the people of the Sun and the incredible steel metropolis to the world. Requiem, which stood in the heart of the grassland, and the "Cities of Steel and Storm" (which were actually drone hangars and autonomous production factories) all over the world had become the new holy land in the hearts of the indigenous people. Even the ancient holy spirits of the Sun Dynasty had returned from the Kingdom of the Dead to teach the people the lost ancient technology. Many nomads did not understand the meaning of this knowledge, but the younger generation among them had begun to be deeply attracted by this ancestral knowledge and gradually adapted to the settled life in the city. Bonia was one of them.
Bonia, the little saintess of the Fire tribe, had now settled with her people in the "New Holy City" near Requiem. The New Holy City was built under the guidance of the ancestral spirits. It mimicked the city layout of the ancient Sun Dynasty. Although it was far from comparable to that incredible era, the neat streets and solid house structure of the New Holy City were still incredible to Bonia and made her yearn for ancient knowledge even more.
But in the eyes of the ancestral spirit, Gragon, today's New Holy City was at best a group of neatly arranged shacks. There were still many years and even many generations to go before the world could recover its civilization.
The Saintess was still the Saintess. Bonia's little head contained the most knowledge and the best ideas among her peers in the world, so she was still respected in her tribe, and so were the Saintesses of the other tribes. Now that the upper echelons of all the tribes were living in the New Holy City, the Saintesses had also gathered together.
Due to their special identity, they usually did not have the opportunity to run around. Plus, they were smarter than ordinary people, so they were the focus of the ancestral spirits' education. Every day, Bonia spent almost the whole day learning knowledge and had a lot of work to do as a saintess at night. So an hour at dusk was a rare leisure time for her.
As dusk came, the ancestral spirits, Gragon, and Pan Dong finally finished their lessons. Winter's lesson was finally over. The little saintess, Bonia, came out of the school and returned to her residence, accompanied by the tribal warriors. She rubbed her slightly swollen head. Her mind was still filled with all kinds of interesting things she had heard in school: the nature of matter, the mystery of mathematics, the power of gears and levers, and the magic devices of ancient times. Bonia liked the last one the most, because Gragon could create vivid phantoms with the power of the soul. In the phantoms, the apprentices could see how the incredible ancient machines worked, which was much more interesting than the boring theory lessons.
"We can see the Pillar of Eternity now." The tribal warrior's reminder woke Bonia from her thoughts.
The little saintess quickly patted her cheeks. She found that she had walked to the high ground on the edge of the new holy city. From here, she could see two holy places. One was the Requiem behind the new holy city. The forest of steel needle towers was always shrouded in thunder and lightning. Countless flying machines were flying in the steel forest. It was the most awe-inspiring place, but also an absolutely forbidden place. The second holy place was the remains of the Pillar of Eternity at the end of the horizon.
The Pillar of Eternity used to be a large pillar supporting the rock shell over the world. In fact, it was the trunk of the giant tree formed by the tentacles of Toka the First Born. After the crown of the Towering Tree was cut off by the Fairy Mining Team, the rest of the trunk was also cut off. But the remaining "stump" was still magnificent and could be regarded as a miracle. The tribal people believed that the power of the giant Toka and the goddess Vivian remained in the stump. Bonia worshiped in the direction of the Pillar of Eternity every day when she passed by the highland. Although she was young, she already had the consciousness of a saintess.
"Goddess, thank you for bringing light to this world …"
The little saintess muttered the prayer according to the script. The prayer was long and tongue-twisting. The tribal warriors next to her soon lost their patience. Although the tribal warriors were also loyal believers, they were not afraid of death when they fought in the name of God. It was not realistic for them to listen to a complete prayer.
So the guard shook his head and walked to the side to check the "holy blade" that never left his side. Bonia sneaked a glance at the guard and made sure that he could not hear her. She quickly added her new prayer into the blade.
"Goddess, I have a request. When can you and your messengers come again? I still want to eat shrimp and dried tofu …"
As soon as the little saintess' voice trailed off, she felt dizzy, and then a big bag of snacks was stuffed into her hand.
Bonia showed her signature blank expression again. She looked at the snack bag in her hand for a while and suddenly blurted out, "Wow — the goddess is here!"
"Don't be so engrossed next time when you think of delicious food." A gentle voice came from the side. Bonia looked up and saw Vivian standing in front of her. The tribal warrior who was responsible for guarding her was kneeling on the ground respectfully.
The little saintess thought for a moment and exclaimed again, "Wow! The goddess is here! "
"I haven't seen her for a while. Why does she look dumber than before?" Hao Ren asked.
As a saintess, Bonia's knowledge and intelligence were not a problem at all. It was just that the little girl was innocent, and her words and actions were always silly. Whenever Hao Ren thought of the little girl, he would always think of the scene where the adults were talking about business while she was sitting in the corner of the room, dozing off with her nose bubbling.
Bonia could not wait to tear open the snack bag and stuffed her mouth full of cheap food. While thinking that her new prayer was really useful, she swallowed hard. It was not until she had half a bag of dried tofu that she suddenly remembered something. "Ah, I'll go and inform the patriarch!"
Vivian stopped the little girl. "No need. Just go and call Gragon and the other ancestral spirits."
Soon, Gragon came to Vivian with a group of souls of the Sun Dynasty.
Gragon, the last king of the Sun Dynasty 10,000 years ago. When the Goddess of Creation sent the planet Inferno from the Plane of Dreams to the surface world and the whole planet was in turmoil, Vivian's split body came to this world and suppressed and controlled the First Born, Toka, which lived in symbiosis with the planet. Then the planet's supreme commander, Gragon, took over the responsibility of maintaining the cage of Toka. He led all the royal family of the Sun Dynasty to commit suicide by poison and became a holy spirit, maintaining the Lullaby that kept Toka asleep in the underground city for 10,000 years. It was not until Hao Ren and Vivian came to this world and solved the problem of the demon god Vivian and the First Born that these ancient souls were released from their long service. Now, Gragon and his former companions were active on this planet as spiritual leaders, leading the people to restore the civilization of the Sun Dynasty.
The respectable old king bowed to Vivian, and the holy spirits behind him also bowed in unison. For the people on this planet, Vivian was a real god.
Although this perception was a little off, Hao Ren and the others did not intend to correct it.
"We are going to Requiem," Hao Ren said. "And we are bringing a neighbor to this planet."
Yggdrasil had now drifted very close to the sky above Inferno. But this was just a figurative statement. As the Nine Worlds were all continents in a different dimension, Yggdrasil did not have a specific location in the main material world. Yggdrasil (to be honest, Hao Ren really did not know whether to address Yggdrasil as "he" or "she") was just adjusting his opening in time and space so that when he entered the material world, he would be partially overlapped with Inferno. This was a high-precision job, and it would take some time to complete. Before that, Hao Ren wanted to take Whitey to see the situation of Toka.
On the one hand, Blackie was the main soul of Yggdrasil, and it would be easier for her to control her body. On the other hand, he felt that the 'manic girl' was not suitable to be with him. It was too f * cking annoying.
