Mo Qiong and Master Gou had two pieces of cloth wrapped around their bodies with pins. They walked on the streets of the underground city.
In front of them were Catherine and Wu Yunmo from the Omega group.
Needless to say, although Catherine was a grandmother, she maintained the state of a golden-haired little boy from the beginning to the end.
The second form depended on one's state of mind and gender perception. As long as this did not change, the second form would not change.
Of course, they would still die. The body that should be weakened due to old age would also weaken. After all, the second form's attributes strictly corresponded to the original body.
Although Wu Yunmo had also become a girl, she was older, about twelve years old.
Four people in a group pretended to chase each other and wander while secretly observing the surroundings.
On the dome of the underground cave, there were ten huge light balls that lit up the cave.
The city above ground was generally divided into three areas.
The residential area was located in the center of the town. Every family had their own small house. Some had one or two stories, some were tall and big, and some even had a big yard.
It could be seen that there was also a gap between the rich and the poor.
There was another area, which could be called the work area. It was located at the edge of the cave and surrounded the town. There were many warehouses that were filled with building materials and food.
Mo Qiong and the others inadvertently approached that area. They could see that there were many people doing manual labor. Some were transporting building materials, some were collectively weaving cloth and processing leather. Some were sifting food and washing it. Some were pushing large buckets of feces from the public toilets of the residential area back to the work area. They did not know what to do with them.
If they guessed, they should be collecting them together. They would periodically open the stone walls of a certain area and discharge them into the underground magma.
Unfortunately, they could not go in to take a look. When they approached the work area, someone immediately came to chase them away.
That person was tall, about two and a half meters. Seeing this height, Mo Qiong immediately thought of the height of the cavity in the Creation Stone Pillar.
"Children …" He lowered his head and glanced at Mo Qiong and the others' shoes. He smiled and said, "This is not a place for you to play. Go back."
"Wah wah wah …" Master Gou cried.
She looked the youngest among them, not even three years old.
It was normal for her to cry for others to see.
Mo Qiong hugged Master Gou's head and comforted him softly. He wanted to see that person's reaction.
Seeing that Lord Gou was crying, the big guy was stunned at first. Then, he looked around and saw that there were no adults following this group of children, so he squatted down with a smile.
"Sir is doing something. It's very dangerous inside, and there are many bad people." The big guy smiled.
Master Gou sobbed, "Are you a bad person too?"
Hearing such a naive question, the big guy made a gesture of respect and smiled. "I was created by God himself. How can I be a bad person?"
As expected, he was created by the Creation Stone Pillar. Such an exaggerated height and physique were very common along the way.
Master Gou took the opportunity to say proudly, "I know! I know! My father was also created by the gods! "
With that said, everyone imitated the big guy and made a hand gesture.
Doubtless it was a religious ceremony.
The big man smiled and said, "All humans are created by God, and your father and I are just more honored."
The so-called greater honor naturally referred to those who did not have parents and were personally created by the gods.
If such a person was placed in the cultivation world, he would probably be recognized as an ancestor by the Heavenly Dao.
Master Gou tilted his head and said, "But my father has left home for a long time … I haven't seen him for a long time."
He did not say where he went, but the big guy was stunned and imagined where Master Gou's father went.
"You're still so young. Did he go out?"
"Hmm?"
"Child, your father is working for the gods to save more ignorant people." The big guy smiled.
Master Gou asked, "What ignorant people?"
"There are still many people in the world who bury the truth and rebel against the gods. They were born sinful, but we can't give up on them. Everything we do is to save them," the big guy said in a general manner.
"Then will he come back?" Master Gou asked naively.
Of course, he knew that the Gaia Church would often send people created by the Creation Stone Pillar to the surface to develop their forces.
Some were there to do business and prepare supplies, while others were there to support the rebel forces and cause trouble for the Lanbai Society.
Therefore, Master Gou deliberately said that his father was also a Creation Stone Pillar person and had left home for a long time.
Sure enough, the big guy thought that Master Gou's father was sent to the surface to do things. So far, those who were sent to the surface to do things, except for bishops, almost no one else had returned.
As everyone knew, all the people who were exposed in front of the Lanbai Society eventually committed suicide.
As for those who were not exposed, they had to work hard on the surface for the rest of their lives and were never allowed to return.
Although bishops were allowed to return, they had to live alone in an underground cave for two years. After two years, if there were no problems and no enemies came to find them, they would be allowed to return to the real city.
In other words, if a citizen was sent out, it could be regarded as an eternal farewell.
Hearing Master Gou ask if his father would come back, the big guy was silent for a moment and said, "He will come back. You will know when you grow up. When the true god comes again, all wishes will come true."
Then, he took out a polished, shiny diamond from his pocket and handed it to Master Gou. It was the size of a goose egg.
Clang! Clang!
Master Gou was stunned for a moment, then he pretended to be happy, as if his attention was easily diverted by this diamond.
"It's for you. Take it and play with it. Remember, don't come near here." The big guy casually gave out a big diamond, then stood up with a smile and told everyone to leave quickly.
Mo Qiong and the others naturally would not force their way in. They held Master Gou's hand and ran away happily.
"Such a big diamond, casually giving it away … The people of the Gaia Church are all rich." Master Gou complained, but on the surface, he looked like he was happily playing with the diamond.
Catherine said, "In the process of the earth's birth, the heavier the elements, the lower the precipitation. Therefore, 80% of the earth's resources are buried deep underground, and nearly 20% are at the bottom of the sea. The resources exposed above sea level are only a few tenths. That few tenths are the mineral veins brought up by the movement of the earth's crust and volcanic eruptions over a long period of time. "
"And even if there is only 20% in the sea, it is also due to the frequent movement of the earth's crust and the large number of underwater volcanoes."
"You can imagine how rich the resources in the earth's mantle are. It far exceeds the reserves of the so-called gold and silver mines on the surface. "
Wu Yunmo also said, "The entire high-temperature magma in the earth's mantle has extremely high mineral content. And under this natural high-pressure environment, there will often be countless heavy metal boulders floating in it. There will even be huge 'diamond islands' and 'crystal mountains' formed."
"Just like the altar grotto we went to previously, its stone walls are rich in iron-nickel ores and even gems. There is a huge crystal in it that might weigh dozens of tons."
"Things like diamonds and gold are not rare in the hands of the Gaia Church."
"Especially diamonds. They can casually fish up a large boulder in the earth's mantle, and it might be embedded with enough diamonds to fill up the land within the Fifth Ring of Northern Capital …"
Mo Qiong said with a sigh, "The earth's mantle is a land of treasures. For the Gaia Church to be able to freely travel underground, it's no wonder they can casually send people to create a sizable faction in the countries above ground."
Wu Yunmo said, "They still know how to control themselves and cover up. A large number of the 'black ores' that they hide are privately smelted and produced without impacting the gold market."
"If the output of these resources is too large, our intelligence network will not be useless."
"But underground, we can't do anything about it. There are countless resources underground, in addition to various technologies and production lines imported from the surface."
"The Gaia Church is relying on the underground resources to be able to provide weapons to the African rebels without restraint. And we can't find out the flow of funds and the source of materials."
