C2 The Story Begins
"I was stupid, and I deserve to have offended a great Demi like you. Can you please leave your name so that my children won't forget their promise and suffer?"
"Alright, listen up. My grandfather is the Wind God and my grandfather is the Water God. My father is the Earth God who inherited the Wind God. My mother is the Dragon Seed of the Water God. My family is the so-called God that you call me. They call me Ur. This is a name that you must always remember."
"Sit down. Tell me where you came from."
"The respected Ur, thank you for granting me and my brother the right to sit in front of you."
The commotion from the night had ended. The two brothers sat down in front of the man. There was a corpse of a monster on the campfire in front of the three of them, and it was the compensation from the giant monster.
All living beings in this era knew that when they were alive, they had to live with their lives on the line. After they died, they had to become food for others. The bodies of the living were eaten, and the successors could continue to walk. The race would continue to exist, just like how the huge monster and its descendants would live on the remains of their compatriots in the next few days. This was a rule set by the ancient times.
"Our family lives on the mountainside of a mountain. My father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandfather are all brave warriors on the mountain. " Excellent hunters, generations after generations, coexist with all things in the forest. However, when the flood reaches the mountain peak, Everything was beyond recognition. Fortunately, grandfather Gao had encountered a flood in the past. He had already prepared a few ships at home, and the ships were filled with food. Hundreds of harvest seasons had never stopped. Even if the younger generation did not think that it was necessary, he was still the same. This act has saved the lives of the entire family. From now on, everyone will praise him as a visionary prophet. "
"Your experiences have made me sympathize with you. Since you have also been hurt by the water, I have to do my duty to tell you my story. This is a story that is closely related to you."
The man exhaled and stared at the candle. His eyes seemed to have returned to the distant past.
"The distant past, the world is in chaos. until the gods gave the order of the world, and then the sky was the sky, The earth was the earth, the mountains were the mountains, The sea is the sea, the insects, fishes, birds and beasts are separated... Everything is thanks to the gods, during this period of time, the gods just silently watched the development of everything in the sky. One day, one of the gods thought it was time to come down and take a look. "This god is my grandfather, the God of Wind and Lightning."
The man was halfway through his sentence when he slowed down slightly and looked towards the sky. His gaze seemed to pass through the horizon. The two brothers did not dare to disturb the man, and only after a while did the man continue his story.
"My grandfather went to the ground, and he chose to breed humans. He built his own tribe and was worshipped by many people until one day. He heard that there was another god in the distance, and decided to see what was going on. And what he met was my grandfather. He was the Water God and the Dragon God. He could bring fertile soil and nourishment to thousands of miles away. He was actually worshipped as a god. However, my grandfather did not think so. "He thought that only gods in the sky could be called gods, so the two of them started fighting without saying a word."
"Gods and gods can also fight?"
Hearing this, Situ Pengcheng suddenly opened his mouth to ask, because this was different from the myths he usually heard. The mythology he knew was that God gave humanity prosperity, as well as to bring disaster upon humans who disobeyed God. There was no interaction between God and God.
"Don't interrupt!"
Situ Pengcheng and Situ Pengcheng were both equally curious, but he was afraid of angering the man, so he tried to dissuade him. However, the man didn't mind.
"It doesn't matter. It's good to have doubts. As for the answer, let me tell you. Although battles between gods are rare, But every time it was fierce, especially the battle between the Wind God and the Water God. When they began to fight, the weather changed. The lightning destroyed the earth, making the mountains taller and the earth lower. From rivers to lakes, from rivers to oceans, all the water on the ground was used for battle. This battle continued for seven days and seven nights, covering every corner of the world. The entire world was covered up by the water, and the number of casualties was uncountable. This is also what happened in your grandfather's era, and at the end of this battle, my grandfather won. "From then on, he gained control of the power of wind and rain, which was also the reason why people were not affected by wind and rain in the past."
"Then why is there a great flood? Is the Water God no longer in control of wind and rain? "
"This is the second story I'm about to tell. This is a story related to me and also a story related to you."
As the man spoke, he pointed towards the vast wilderness.
"This barren wilderness and the water that prevented you from getting off the boat, strictly speaking, it all started because of me."
He let out a light sigh. The man began to narrate the next story.
"After the battle between Wind God and Water God, he was defeated and his heart was taken away. His divine power was also taken away and he could only be a mortal mixed in with the crowd. However, God was still God. With knowledge that mortals did not have, he used his intelligence to regain the respect of the masses. And at this time, his child was born, my father did not lose the bloodline of God... "It made his position even higher, allowing him to once again gain the power to sit next to the throne of the gods."
"The loser was not bound as a slave?"
Seeing his younger brother ask a few questions in succession, Situ Peng Cheng couldn't help but ask nervously.
"My grandfather was worshipped as the Water Dragon God. He has no interest in the rules of the human race. He only retaliated because he was dissatisfied that my grandfather attacked him. After the Divine Power was taken away, the matter came to an end. When the two of them met again, my grandfather not only didn't hurt my grandfather, but also... He also married my mother to my father, and gave all the lands in the world to my father to manage. Let him become a true God.
"If that's the case, then why is there still water?"
"The cause of the water must be from me. That year, our family was invited to the banquet held by our grandfather, and it was in the middle of the banquet. "My grandfather gave my grandfather a divine wine to liven things up. After that, my grandfather said to me," Ur... Now everyone is drunk, and even my grandfather is sleepy. You're the only one awake. Go and help Grandfather get something, that thing is in your grandfather's palace. "It's in a small glass box. Go and get the thing inside for me."
"What is that thing?"
"That thing is my grandfather's heart, the source of his godly power," the young man said. " Without knowing it, I took that thing out of the palace and gave it to my grandfather. It allowed him to regain his strength. The first thing he did after regaining his strength was to seek revenge on my grandfather, which was the second great flood. "The reason why you have to stay on the ship for so many years."
"In the end, who won?"
My grandfather won this time. Last time, he failed because he misjudged my grandfather's power. After many years of observation, he had already grasped enough chances of winning before he made a move, and that was not all. The divine wine he brought along was mixed with a secret medicine that made it difficult for gods to fight. In short, my grandfather lost this battle. My parents also died on the battlefield to stop them from fighting. Other than my grandfather, no one else stayed in my family. "
The man sighed and looked at the two brothers.
"When I found out how much I've done wrong, it was already too late. Many races were wiped out in this war. " Especially humans, there are less than a hundred of them, so I decided to contribute to the revival of humanity. I want this world to prosper once again. The two of you are the 100th people I have seen in this period of time, and I want you to gather the nearby humans. "Build up the glory of the past."
After hearing the man's words, the two brothers lowered their heads and accepted the order. At this moment, the sun slowly rose in the distance, as if it was prophesising the glory of mankind advancing to a new era.
The man named Ur paid a visit to Situ Pengcheng and Situ Pengcheng's family. When the family heard that this man was a great descendant of the gods, they all offered their best things to him.
Some people offered exquisite copper sabers. Some people offered small wooden sculptures. Some offered a string of shells, and even the oldest old man offered the soft bed with leaves that had accompanied him for many years.
Ur was happy with their devotion and kindness, and decided to hold a banquet.
So everyone started to move. The men followed Ur to this strange land to hunt. The women were busy adjusting their food and preparing drinks to celebrate. The cheers of the past were now rising on the earth.
On that day's dinner, there was a beast that was much bigger than a human. This was Ur's credit. It was him who jumped into the water with his bare hands to pull the beast's neck onto the shore and knocked it down to the ground. Only then did everyone have a chance to taste this delicious food.
According to Ur, this beast was called a hippocampus. It was not affected when the water came and the water retreated. Its body was strong and strong. If it was not for the most heroic hunter, it would not be able to hunt this kind of beast. Hunting this kind of beast alone was proof of its strength.
Everyone was amazed by Ur's bravery. Adult children yearned for it, and even adults admired it. There were women who would not marry unless they were heroes.
On that day when he was drunk and his ears were hot, at the peak of the banquet, Ur announced to everyone.
"All devout humans, I can feel your sincerity and friendliness, so I decided to stay here and shelter you from the wind and rain."
After hearing Ur's words, everyone was very happy, because in this era, nothing could be guaranteed. A storm could make crops apologize, a group of wild beasts could destroy a family, and disease and disaster would never come. The tomorrow that they had today would be lost, and now, they could not harvest what they had worked so hard for in the past.
Only God had the right to tell people that their crops would not be apologetically harvested, and that their lives would not suddenly disappear. The right to use water and land, the right to live in houses, the right to resist foreign enemies, could guarantee that these efforts only existed in the heavens.
Just as everyone was exceptionally happy with Ur's words, Ur continued to announce to them.
"Not only do I have to shelter everyone from the wind and rain, but I also want to build a shelter in a place with lush vegetation. Now, you have to listen to my orders. Go to the place I pointed to and find people who respect me and come here. Together, we will build a dam, a canal, as well as the city walls and sentries to defend against wild beasts."
After receiving Ur's orders, the whole family went about their own business. They followed the orders and went to an unknown place. They announced that their land was protected by the Demi, so people from all over the world rushed to inform each other. They abandoned their fields and properties, all for the sake of living under the protection of the Demi.
Within a few days, this group became a village with a hundred people.
With numbers and unity, people built irrigation systems, cultivated fertile fields, set up sentry posts, defended wild beasts, explored the terrain, excavated minerals, and even built temples for Ur to be the guardian of a region.
In a short period of time, although people's lives were not as good as in the past, they had already resumed their tracks.
However, at this time, the ambassador who had gone on a long journey sent a message. The people living in the west were enslaved by the barbarians and were unable to come to this new land of human beings.
Hearing this news, Ur felt angry because even if his envoy told the barbarians his name, the barbarians would not let him go. Not only that, only one of the three envoys had returned, and the other two had been enslaved. This was a huge provocation to Ur.
