Before leaving the stone city, Hao Ren curiously asked Gezer about the ancient city. "Do you know what the ruins are all about?"
Based on Gezer's ritual in the ruins, Hao Ren guessed that the ancient city must have a special meaning to the indigenous people of this world. But since the city and the population were still here, Hao Ren could not understand why Gezer's people gave up the magnificent and solid city and chose to live a nomadic life. Perhaps the climate change in the underworld had forced the people to become nomads, but Hao Ren still wanted to hear Gezer's explanation.
Gezer's first reaction when he heard the question was a little strange. "The goddess should know everything. Why do you ask about the ancient capital?"
He still believed that Vivian was the omniscient goddess who created everything in the world. So many questions that Hao Ren asked him were baffling. The tribal warrior thought that the person standing beside the goddess should also be omniscient.
This was a rather thorny problem. It would be very difficult to explain the origins of their group, and it would also destroy the trust that they had painstakingly built up. But Vivian came to the rescue. "The way the goddess observes the world is different from you. Tell us about the changes in the world according to human understanding."
Her words were enigmatic and full of detachment. Hao Ren could not help but look at her and whispered in Holletta, "Your acting skills are amazing. How did you come up with this?"
Vivian smiled gently. "Do you think I don't know a lot of pretentious guys? Those old guys used to talk like this 10,000 years ago. "
Gezer believed what Vivian said and immediately recognized the greatness of the goddess. He pointed to the collapsed megalithic buildings around him and said, "This is the sacred ancient capital of Dorasil. Before the end of the Sun Dynasty, this great city worshipped the holy spirit of the goddess. Until now, the holy spirit still echoes in the shadow of Dorasil. The goddess came here today to check on the situation of the holy spirit, right? "
"How would I know?" Vivian subconsciously waved her hand and then coughed twice. "Ahem, I mean you shouldn't speculate about God's thoughts. I've said that my way of observing the world is different from yours. Look, I even have a doppelganger."
As Vivian spoke, she dragged Hessiana to the front and pressed her head hard to make Hessiana nod. Her words were reasonable and convincing.
"Why was this city abandoned?" Hao Ren asked curiously. "What's the matter with the Sun Dynasty?"
"After the firmament closed, the Sun Dynasty ended an era in accordance with the teachings of the goddess," Gezer said without thinking as if he was reciting a textbook. Obviously, he had studied these sentences for many years. "Now is the Year of Jade, the greatest and most peaceful era."
"The firmament closed … The Year of Jade …" Hao Ren looked thoughtfully at the black 'crust' behind the clouds in the sky. Obviously, the indigenous people of this world vaguely knew that the First Born used the canopy to seal the planet. But that history had been wrongly distorted into a myth. The growth of the First Born was said to be a miracle of the goddess closing the firmament. It was impossible to get the real history from Gezer. "Do you know what is above the firmament?"
Gezer suddenly had a serious and fearful look on his face. "It is the place where the goddess exiles the sinners. No one has ever dared to cross it."
"The sky is sinful?" Hessiana could not help but be surprised. "What about underground?"
Gezer looked honest. "The glory of the goddess lies underground," Hessiana said.
"The myths and legends of this planet are weird, but they fit the worldview of the Blood Clan. I don't like daylight, but living in a cave is quite comfortable."
Vivian turned her head away awkwardly. "It's all because we didn't have enough money to live in a house and lived in a cave all day long."
"Ahem, I agree with Gezer." Hao Ren coughed and interrupted Vivian. They had walked out of the walls of the ancient capital of Dorasil. The vast grassland spread out in front of them, but there was no sign of a tribal settlement or a means of transportation. "Gezer, where is the tribal settlement?"
"In that direction," Gezer said, pointing to the Heaven's Pillar at the end of the horizon. "At the foot of the Pillar of Eternity, my people are staying there. We wait for the second Windy Month to come. Under the guidance of the sacred wind, we will perform the ritual with the other tribes."
Hao Ren glanced at the magnificent black pillar that pierced through the heavens and the earth. He could not help but be astonished. "Holy moly … How did you get here? Riding a horse? "
"I walked here." Gezer smiled proudly, and the greasy lines on his face bloomed. "It took me many days. The messengers who were ordered to light the incense could not ride animals into Dorasil. We had to come here on foot. Otherwise, the ancestors would not respond to the call after lighting the incense. "
It took Hao Ren a while to figure out the religious terms that Gezer mentioned. The incense that Gezer mentioned should be the herbs that were lit on the other side of the stone platform. It seemed that the warrior came here today for another more important religious ceremony in a few days to 'unseal', or in other words, the precursor work. The people of this world followed strict religious rules. Although it was not clear how they interpreted the existence of the Goddess of Creation, there was no doubt that their faith was quite high.
Even if the world was turned upside down, even if they became refugees in the dimensional fragments of another world, their faith in the Goddess remained the same.
"It's going to take us more than a day or two to get there." Hao Ren stood on his tiptoes and looked into the distance. "Speaking of which, your taboo only says that we can't ride animals into the Royal City, but it doesn't say anything about going back?"
Gezer nodded, not understanding what Hao Ren meant.
Hao Ren threw his private car out of the Dimensional Pocket. "That's settled. Get in!"
Gezer froze for a moment and then decided to regard it as a miracle.
Aside from its ugly appearance, Hao Ren's BMW was excellent in performance. Apart from not being able to turn into a Optimus Prime, it could basically do anything. Hao Ren was still paying attention to the surrounding landscape. It did not take long before he arrived at the foot of the Heaven's Pillar. He drove the car up a hill near the Heaven's Pillar (the hill itself was part of a root of the giant tree). Looking down from here, he saw Gezer's tribe.
In the valley between two mountain ridges, there was a gurgling river running through the bottom of the valley. The river flowed from the roots of the giant tree and extended into the depths of the grassland. On both sides of the river, there were a large number of scattered huts. They were oval-shaped like tents, covered with thick mats made of grass and animal fur. There were also many wooden poles around the huts, which were tied with blue and green decorative cloth strips. They looked primitive and crude, but with an indescribable harmony and beauty. This was the settlement of the Hanuk tribe of West Wind, which was said to be one of the largest tribes in the world.
However, judging from the size and number of houses, the population of this' largest tribe 'was probably no more than one or two thousand people. This was almost a dangerous signal in Hao Ren's eyes. How many humans were left in the world?
But Gezer's people would not worry about these distant things as Hao Ren did. The settlement in the valley was peaceful, and men, women, and children walked among the houses with a tranquil look on their faces. Downstream, a large number of strange livestock were drinking water: they were the precious property of the settlement. Hao Ren's probes had also found wild animals similar to those livestock in other parts of the grassland, but they were obviously not domesticated.
Lily looked at the quiet and peaceful herdsmen in the valley. She then suddenly looked up at the black rock top behind the clouds. If she did not do this, she would have forgotten where she was.
Gezer had just recovered from the galloping. He did not expect to see the settlement so soon. He could not help but pat his cheeks, trying to calm himself down. He then looked at Hao Ren and Vivian with excitement and anxiety. "I don't know how to tell the elders about the arrival of the goddess. Is there anything I should pay attention to?"
Vivian had only learned a few words from her old friends. She did not know anything else. She poked Hao Ren's arm. "You tell them. You are a pope after all."
Hao Ren looked at Vivian and then at Hessiana. He then nodded at Gezer. "Just tell them that the goddess has brought her smurf to the mortal world for a private visit."
Then he looked at the others. "Well, she also brought a team."
Lily secretly poked Vivian's waist and whispered, "Battie, do you really think it's a good idea to let Mr. Landlord arrange this?"
Vivian gritted her teeth. "I'm regretting it!"
