Regarding Li Ke's refusal, Hanson didn't have any dissatisfaction. Instead, he became even happier. Because a qualified warrior must learn not to use the power of others and not to easily trust others.
Only a person with such a fighting will and cautious heart could become a true warrior.
War was for the sake of living a better life, for the sake of realizing one's ideals and ambitions, for victory, for a better tomorrow.
Therefore, Hanson's face showed a sincere smile. Every time he saw a mortal who could become a true warrior, his heart would be so happy.
Because only a tenacious and unyielding person could fight side by side with him.
"Your heart has an inextinguishable fire of battle, you will need my strength! When the time comes, you only need to maintain the fighting spirit in your heart and shout my name towards the sky, then you will be able to obtain my strength! "
He retracted his arm and laughed while looking at Li Ke's back.
"I bless you! Mortal, I wish that every time you fight, you will be able to realize your thoughts! You will be able to devote yourself wholeheartedly! "
"But remember! He couldn't do anything by himself! Even the most powerful warrior will need a helping hand! I look forward to the day when I can fight side by side with you! "
He laughed and disappeared from the mountain peak, returning from the earth to the sky.
Li Ke just continued to walk forward.
"Why are the gods of this era somewhat different?"
These gods were absolutely different from the gods he had seen in his previous era. They didn't seem to have that annoying arrogance and didn't care about the lives of mortals.
Especially Hanson. In Yatoku's memory, Hanson had always had an arrogant appearance. He had always felt that he was the number one in the world and that he was the only one who could be considered a true god.
Humans were nothing but lowly scum.
He had heard these words more than once in the words of the gods. Only those who had ascended could make them look at them in a different light.
But it turned out that they were thinking too much.
The gods only treated them as experimental subjects and soldiers. They looked at them in a different light only because they controlled the power of the Dragon King and were their precious property.
So what was it that made them change?
Li Ke looked at the stars in the sky. He could feel two kind eyes looking at him from the starry sky. These eyes were filled with love and appreciation, as if an elder was looking at an outstanding junior.
So what was the reason?
The gods descended to the mortal world and used the bodies of humans to fight for them. They made humans their tools and fought for their cause.
Then why was he able to feel this genuine 'love' from God towards humans?
"I have a feeling that this matter is very important …"
Li Ke thought about the major events of this world, but he realized that he still knew too little. When he came back to his senses, he found himself passing through a cave and bidding farewell to the wind and snow.
This cave was not a monster's cave. Instead, it was a tunnel. After passing through a section of the tunnel, one could see a natural square formed by rocks. The wind and snow outside could not harm the inside of the square.
Interestingly, the square rocks formed a natural stone bridge and tunnel. As he advanced along the path, he would even suspect that this place was a palace that had been carved out by craftsmen who did not look at the blueprints.
After walking a little further, he completely bid farewell to the wind and snow. This was because what appeared before Li Ke was a lush land.
The cold wind was blocked on the other side, making the weather much more pleasant. Of course, there was also the element of magic here. Li Ke could sense that the magical elements here were abnormally active. All he needed to do was move his finger slightly and give an order mentally, and he could blow this place up.
However, there was something rather unpleasant in the greenery.
"You say you don't want to become a sacrifice? That's a great glory! If Kai Ya hadn't accidentally scraped off a piece of skin, you wouldn't have the right to become a sacrifice at all! "
Li Ke saw a robust old man stabbing a spear viciously in front of a frail woman.
However, what was interesting was that these people did not look like Laquor people, nor were they dressed like Laquor people. Instead, they wore clothes made of cotton, linen, and beast hides. Moreover, his facial features were more Asian. It was obvious that he was here on a pilgrimage.
She did not have a healthy and beautiful body like the girls of Laquor. Her skin was more or less the color of wheat.
Her skin was very white, and her hair was light blue. If Li Ke had not confirmed that Sauna was only 14 years old in the timeline, he would have thought that he had accidentally brought her to this era.
In particular, her chest was exactly the same as the zither girl's portrait. Although he could tell that she had weathered many hardships, she was still rather radiant compared to the others.
Girls like her would be loved and doted on in later eras or the modern era, but that was not the case in this era.
"You don't have a robust body, nor do you have any battle experience. The only praiseworthy things about you are your voice and craftsmanship. That's why letting you become a sacrifice is a blessing to you! It's not a sin! "
The old man was extremely pained. He did not want the girl who had come along to see the world to become a sacrifice to the gods. She was weak and powerless. If it were not for her beauty, the wealth of their tribe, and the fact that she was a sensible child who ate very little, she would have been abandoned long ago.
Even allowing her to participate in the ceremony might displease the gods, let alone become a sacrifice. After all, the gods were extremely powerful existences. If a person was not powerful and perfect, how could they be a sacrifice?
However, the sacrifice chosen by the tribe had injured his skin in a duel with someone from another tribe. He could no longer remain as a sacrifice, so she could only be chosen.
After all, compared to not having a sacrifice, it was better to have some flaws.
Fortunately, there were no flaws in her skin, so she could pass the inspection of the priests. As for whether offering such a weak girl would displease the gods …
He did not have any better ideas.
However, the problem was that the girl wanted to refuse such a glorious thing. She refused to serve the great gods, refused to serve her tribe, refused to contribute to her world.
He had never heard of something like that before.
"Your brother's tribe will nurture him into an outstanding warrior, but if you don't go, you and your brother won't be able to leave Giant God Peak."
Without a doubt, this person was a threat. The girl who basically looked the same as the zither girl lowered her head and shed tears.
Her mother had left as a sacrifice. She could clearly remember the smile on her mother's face when she was chosen as a sacrifice to the mother goddess of the earth, as well as the pain and confusion on her face when she had her stomach cut open with a bone blade.
She did not know whether her mother had met the gods or not, but she knew that her mother had not died with glory and joy in her heart. She could tell what her mother's final gaze meant.
"I don't want to die."
As a result, she was extremely resistant to this. If it were not for the fact that Kai Ya was her good friend and she wanted to send her friend off one last time, she would not have come here, nor would she have been chosen as a substitute sacrifice.
Moreover, just like her mother, she wanted to end her own life.
"I understand."
But at the very least, she had to let her brother live.
She closed her eyes. Seeing her like that, Li Ke instinctively wanted to attack. His killing intent immediately made the people who wanted the girl to die look in his direction in doubt and surprise. They also saw him.
"Who is it!"
The old man picked up his spear. He had specially brought the girl here to avoid being noticed, or he would not have chosen to travel in a place where ferocious beasts would appear.
But now, it seemed like he might have made the wrong choice.
"A passer-by."
Li Ke walked over silently. The girl did not look at him, only crying silently. She did not intend to reach out to anyone for help.
Li Ke had his own mission. He could not interfere with the timeline too much, so he slowly made his way to the top of the mountain under the old man's vigilance.
"You better be a passer-by. Also, you better keep your mouth shut, or else …"
The old man did not want others to know that he had secretly swapped the sacrifice, or their tribe would be ostracized!
In this era, that was not a good thing.
"…"
Li Ke ignored him and continued to walk up. However, just as he walked past the girl, he heard her stomach growl. It was obvious that the old man wasn't just trying to scare her. He had used some other methods.
"… Even a sacrifice needs to be full."
Li Ke pretended to reach into his clothes and used what little strength he had left to grow an apple. He wanted to pass it to the girl before him.
But in the next moment, the old man's spear swung over and knocked the apple out of Li Ke's hand.
When Li Ke turned his head to look at him, the old man's face was already filled with hostility.
"Don't meddle in other people's business."
He assumed a fighting stance. The reason why he chose to sacrifice the girl was because she hadn't eaten for two days. As a sacrifice, the girl couldn't have too much filth in her body. Two days without food was a good thing.
As for why the girl did not eat for two days?
It was simple. She did not need to eat too much.
Li Ke looked at the old man calmly without revealing any murderous intent. But the old man in front of him felt that he had one foot in the door of hell. So he swallowed his saliva and immediately explained.
"If a sacrifice eats, it will bring disaster to the gods."
I'm here to save the world.
Li Ke took a deep breath and repeated this sentence three times in his heart. Only then did he manage to suppress his impulse.
This girl was already dead. According to history, if she didn't die in the ceremony, she would die in the hands of the monsters that he encountered before.
So even if he helped her, it would be useless. His efforts would be in vain.
The best choice was to leave.
"The gods don't like a sacrifice who is bullied."
After saying that, he continued to move towards the top of the mountain.
This time, a god also appeared. When Li Ke left the mountain, a god appeared beside him.
It was not an old acquaintance. It was a goddess who was overflowing with the word 'justice'. She stood in front of Li Ke with a pitiful gaze. When Li Ke walked in front of her, she ran her fingers through her hair.
"Aren't you unwilling to accept this? Such an unjust thing happened in front of your eyes, but because of their justice, they were able to help you. "
"Are the gods very free?"
Li Ke was a little speechless. He suspected that the gods in this world were not that free. He could meet so many of them just by walking around.
He suspected that he had exposed something about himself. However, when he checked his body again, he found that he did not possess any power beyond that of a mortal. Even the power of Leona's head had been concealed by the power of time and space. It could only exist as a flashlight.
"Because you are different. Your inner thoughts are different from theirs. And in this special moment, your difference will naturally be noticed by many gods. And a mortal like you who has transcended the era you live in is quite rare even to the gods. "
She reached out her hand and wanted to touch Li Ke's cheek. However, Li Ke unceremoniously slapped her hand away.
However, she was not angry. Instead, she continued to smile at Li Ke.
"I know you are very resistant to people like us of unknown origins, but please believe that we mean no harm. We just want you to release your true thoughts and make this world a better place. "
The Goddess of Justice tilted her head and revealed a beautiful smile.
"For this, I can agree to all of your requests. As long as you are willing to stand up and end their foolish actions, and stop sacrificing your own family and excellent brethren to us, and stop doing such things over and over again, I can agree to all of your requests."
"Any requests?"
"Yes, any requests."
The Goddess' smile did not change. There were only so many requests from mortal creatures. She had already seen many of them. However, if she could help a person who had transcended his own era to lead his species down fewer detours and walk the path of happiness ahead of time, then she would not be stingy with anything for herself.
However, Li Ke only felt annoyed. He felt that he must have exposed something, so he was already mentally prepared to be forcefully kicked back to his own timeline.
"Even if I wanted you to become my plaything and slave, would you agree?"
He grabbed a strand of the Goddess' hair and said this ridiculous request in a rather disrespectful tone.
"Yes, as long as you are willing to push for this."
However, the Goddess agreed.
