The Ark City — it should be called the Floating City now. The residents of the city had yet to recover from the great change of the world when they saw the monstrous wave that was thousands of meters tall. These ignorant residents who had been isolated in the ship for thousands of years could not understand what was happening. The great power of nature, the boundless outer world, the empty and chaotic sky, and the vast and endless sea — all these were things that the people in the ark could not imagine. In just a few short hours, they had witnessed a great change that their ancestors had never described to them. So when the giant wave came, everyone outside the floating city fell into great fear and panic. Many people thought that the sea of Io was the legendary Sea of Erdos (even though they had no idea what the real sea looked like), and they mistook the giant wave for the legendary monster that devoured heaven and earth. The residents at the edge of the floating city fell into extreme chaos.
But when the wave suddenly disappeared, and a strange green thing floated in front of them, and an indescribably powerful god-like existence stood up from the wave and looked down on them, the chaos and fear turned into great reverence.
On the other hand, on the surface of the sea beside the Petrachelys, Hao Ren was stunned when he heard Eva's thoughts. He did not expect the naïve Spirit of the Ocean to suddenly leave just to find food for the people on the ark. When she heard what Hao Ren said, she remembered that "they need food", and made the simplest and most direct response. That was to bring the easiest food she knew to the refugees.
Eva was not angry at all, nor did she have any conflict with these outsiders. She did not understand this at all. She did not even have time to learn the word "outsider". Hao Ren maintained a mental connection with Eva for a while, and understood her deeper thoughts. The Spirit of the Ocean's motives could not be said to be benevolent or malicious. She simply took the action that she thought was appropriate. If one had to describe her mentality …
Just as she had grown moss scraps into seaweed to feed the shoals of shallow-water fish, she saw the people in the ark as a bunch of starving animals in the water, and so she brought some seaweed over to feed them — in a gardener's way.
This deep logic made Hao Ren speechless. He felt that it was better not to tell the truth. Eva's worldview was different from that of the mortals. The mortals did not need to understand her train of thought too much.
At this time, his mental communication with Eva was suddenly interrupted by a voice coming from the communication channel. Lorenz asked in a hurried tone, "What is happening now? What … is this giant doing? Is she the … ruler of this planet? What does she want?! "
At the outer edge of the floating city, the ark residents closest to Eva had already knelt down in droves. In the face of an incomprehensible mysterious being that was countless times stronger than them, the first reaction of these superstitious and ignorant civilians was to beg for peace. They thought that Eva was an angry god from beyond the heavens, and now this god was displaying her power at the edge of the world. So they began to pray, hoping that the god would appease her anger or forgive their sins. There is nothing wrong with such a foolish reaction: their entire existing cultural system is based on such rhetoric.
Vivian and Lily stood beside Lorenz. They were also shocked by the giant wave, but they did not think that Eva was some "angry god". Vivian had a vague idea of the giant's identity, but she could not believe it.
At this time, Hao Ren's voice came through the communicator. He said to Lorenz loudly, "This is a gift from the God of Sea. Explain it this way!"
Then a large group of autonomous robots flew over from the Petrachelys and swarmed to every corner of the floating city. Each of the autonomous robots projected a large holographic projection, showing Lorenz's image. As the transformation of the ark had destroyed the fragile communication network of the floating city, Hao Ren could only use the autonomous robots as temporary media terminals. As he placed the autonomous robots in place, he briefly explained Eva's origin to Lorenz. "… In short, she is like the God of Sea to you. The seaweed that she brought could be used as food …"
Lorenz hurriedly went into battle, but he did not lose his composure. His figure appeared in every corner of the city through the holographic projection, and he began to explain about Eva. "Eva, the God of Sea, has brought us …"
Eva, on the other hand, looked curiously at the movement in the floating city. When she saw the little autonomous robots flying into the streets, she was so curious that she even reached out to grab one to take a look. Hao Ren saw this and quickly jumped back into the sea. He reestablished the mental link. "Eva, don't move! Just maintain that shape … "
He then turned to Nolan. "Turn off the water pump under the ark. Eva might be curious about that thing. Be careful not to let her crawl into the ship's water pump pipe!"
He then turned to Eva. "Be good, don't knock on the ship! That thing can't handle you! "
"Nolan, go open the hulls of the other ships and think of a way to divert Eva's attention!"
"Eva! Don't touch that! That's the reactor! "
It was really a mess. Hao Ren was like a schizophrenic, arranging Lorenz's speech while Nolan adjusted the ark. At the same time, he had to think of a way to calm the curious Eva down. By the time everything was settled, he was as tired as a dog. He soaked in the sea, looking like he was about to die. "… This is the first time in my f * cking life that I've ever seen such a huge brat …"
At this moment, no one knew that many years later, the descendants of the Ark civilization would worship the three main gods under such circumstances: the Gemini Goddesses of Ice and Fire, and the protector of all life, the Goddess of the Sea, Eva …
By the time Hao Ren and the rest could finally relax, it was already dusk.
The sun was setting in Io. The sky was clear, and the brightest stars were already visible on the horizon. The residents of the floating city were about to welcome their first starry night in ten thousand years. The Petrachelys floated on the surface of the sea about ten kilometers away from the Royal Throne. Hao Ren and the rest gathered at the edge of the deck, saying goodbye to Eva in the sea. Eva did not seem to have any extra reaction to the people leaving. She just happily bobbed up and down in the water, rolling around in the splashing waves and making bursts of cheerful splashing sounds. Vivian stood beside Hao Ren, her gaze fixed on Eva for a long time. "I didn't expect to see her again … She's very different from the last time."
"The last time, she gathered the power of an entire planet and turned the world upside down." Hao Ren grinned. "She probably doesn't even have one percent of that power now."
"It looks like she likes the people on the ark." Katreina smiled at Lorenz. "I wonder how you'll get along with her in the future."
"The Gemini Goddesses of Ice and Fire, and the God of Fertility and Grace. The three new gods have taken root in the hearts of our people, and the God of Sea is the most visible and closest to us." Lorenz returned the smile. "I never thought that our civilization would survive and recover under these circumstances. This will completely change our plans for recovery. But now that things have come to this, we must get along with the God of Sea. Frankly, we don't know much about this god, but she's not violent or evil. That's fortunate. "
"Eva has never been evil, but she has a lot to learn now." Hao Ren looked at Eva, who was rolling and frolicking not far away. Lil Pea was also playing excitedly in the sea. The little mermaid was jumping in and out of Eva's body, and her shiny golden-red tail was reflecting the sunset. "I've tried my best to tell her some knowledge, but after all, her life form and way of thinking are too different from mine. It's difficult for me to understand her thoughts. So she can only slowly build her own worldview, and this process is the process of her getting along with you. If you're friendly, she'll be friendly. If you're violent, she'll be violent. "
Lorenz lowered his head solemnly. "I'll remember your warning."
"Try the seaweed when you get back," Hao Ren said with a smile. "It's not easy to grow crops on this planet."
Not long after, Lorenz left. He could not stay for long because his people were still waiting for the next step in building their new home. The old man would be very busy for many years to come. After Lorenz left, Vivian looked at the Royal Throne thoughtfully. "'If you're friendly, she'll be friendly. If you're violent, she'll be violent.' That's a good saying, but what if they're lying to this' god '? Eva looks like a child to me now. "
Hao Ren raised his finger and pointed at the sky. Among the stars that were gradually emerging, there were some special light spots shining.
"One thousand two hundred drone turrets will shine with humanitarian light."
