CH 293

The tribe had become very comfortable with the arrival of the two men.

Plants had been cultivated, animals raised and milk produced, so they no longer needed to go out hunting every day to feed themselves.

The comfort of the tribe somehow reached the ears of the other tribes, who migrated along the river banks and came near the tribe.

Gradually, the scattered tribes converged and became a huge population.

Since it had become a huge population, there had to be a leader that the people could trust, and Dijia became that role.

Little by little, time passed. Dijia and Bai Lixin never mentioned the events of that night again.

Bai Lixin had a feeling that Dijia knew something, but his calm expression made him doubt that.

With time, Bai Lixin knew that things were about to change.

Dijia’s appearance had shattered the status quo in the Divine Realm, which the sub gods had held captive for hundreds of millions of years.

Humans at this time were easily satisfied with just a little food and a place to live. Through his hands, Dijia had completely met the needs of humanity.

For over a year, few humans made pilgrimages to the gods to pray for blessings.

It was not that humans were ungrateful, but they had no choice in the past but to always disturb the gods’ rest. Now that they had the ability, they enriched themselves and left the gods to recuperate.

Of course, this was a well-intentioned thought on the part of humans. But the gods did not think so.

As time passed, Bai Lixin found that his body was getting increasingly weaker because of the decreasing power of faith. He would fall into a deep sleep from time to time. It was not because the god of love wanted to come out, but a move his body made to protect itself. Without the aid of the power of faith, the drawbacks of this body, which had lived for billions of years, gradually became apparent.

Eros’s body was already weak, and Bai Lixin looked in the direction of San Tuo Mountain and knew that a change was not far away.

Sure enough, just after Bai Lixin had passed out once more, the pseudo Lord God summoned him.

Bai Lixin woke up and saw through the eyes of the god of love that his body, which had lain in the cluttered thatched hut, was now on a magnificent, pure white floor. The Pseudo Lord God floated above the raised platform, his face pale: “Eros, what exactly did Dijia do in the mortal world?”

Eros was stiff and had terror in his eyes as he rose from the floor, cowering as he told the whole story of what Dijia had done.

The pseudo Lord god snorted coldly and looked down at Eros with muddy eyes, saying, “You seem to be doing just fine among those frail ants.”

Eros’ voice trembled, “Because you said to… to approach the successor Lord God, I ……”

“I’ve never seen such a restless Successor Lord God! You don’t live in the nice and comfortable San Tuo mountain temple, and you have to go live in the human world that even livestock don’t bother to patronize! ” The Pseudo-God suddenly let out a cry of annoyance, and the floor of the hall trembled, scattering many fragments from the stone pillars that topped the ceiling, “Those human beings are selfish in the face of profit. We have done everything for them, given them blessings and brought them well-being, but then? They dare repay us with such things. I will punish them! ”

“But by the looks of it, you seem to have a good relationship with Dijia.” The Pseudo Lord god examined Eros with a suspicious gaze.

“Lord God, the Successor God has complete trust in me.”

“Hahaha, so he will believe whatever you say, right?”

Bai Lixin, who was deep in the depths of Eros, watched the pseudo Lord God’s increasingly fierce expression and knew what was going on in his mind.

Sure enough, he heard the pseudo Lord god tell the god of love, “I want you to trick Dijia into luring all the humans to the cliff. I will condemn these humans in front of Dijia, so that they will know who is their heaven. I will show Dijia who is the master of this divine realm and who is the true god of the billions of worlds. I will make them regret having followed him. I will make them resent him and speak words of abuse against him with their mouths. I will make them kneel at my feet so that Dijia will see the true nature of mankind. I alone am the master of this world. ”

The god of love knelt on the ground and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, Lord God.”

With a wave of the pseudo Lord god’s hand, the God of Love, along with Bai Lixin, lost consciousness.

When Bai Lixin woke up again, he found that he was lying in the familiar humble thatched hut, as if what had just happened was just a nightmare.

But Bai Lixin knew that it was not a dream, it was the divine will of the pseudo Lord god.

After a moment of fumbling with his hand on the pillow, Bai Lixin felt something sharp. He stiffened and looked down.

On the pillow, which had been empty, lay a silver dagger emanating a cold light. The engraving was exquisite, something that humans could not craft today.

The voice of the pseudo Lord God suddenly flashed in his mind: [use this dagger to stab into Dijia’s heart.]

The coldness in Bai Lixin’s eyes was eerie. This Pseudo Lord God had it all thought out.

He had already ordered the god of love to lure Dijia to the top of the cliff, yet he also asked him to stab Dijia? How could he possibly stab Dijia?

Bai Lixin looked indifferent as he pinned the dagger behind his waist and walked to the river to touch the fish. He suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. His dagger fell into the river and sank to the bottom with the mud and sand. Bai Lixin pretended to search in the river for a long time with a timid expression on his face, but he did not find the dagger. He slowly went up the bank and left.

Eros cried out in his heart: [The other me, we really will be killed by the Lord God.]

[Fear not, the Lord God is no different from us now. He is weakened by the lack of the power of faith]

[Then the successor Lord God, will only be in more danger. The last Successor Lord God’s divine power is almost exhausted, and we barely survived with the power of faith in the wait for the arrival of the new successor Lord God. Now that the power of faith is gradually disappearing, the Lord God will only speed up his pace. ]

[What is the Lord God’s plan?]

[I have never been involved in the matter of assassination because I didn’t like such things But I know how it works. The previous successor gods were properly settled on San Tuo mountain when they first descended. They were taken care of, watered with the power of faith, and when the time was ripe, poison was poured into their wine and their souls were cut open. This way, their powers were absorbed by the gods and used to continue their lives.] Eros spoke slowly in his mind. [Huh, aren’t you the other me? How do you nog know about this?]

[Oh, then do you know the relationship between the Lord God and the god of lust?]

Eros froze, [I’m not sure.]

[I do. Although we are the same soul and have different personalities, we have independent thoughts and memories. Is it strange that I don’t know what happened?]

[Oh, Oh no.] Eros rounded off with a smile, [But what is the relationship between the Lord God and the god of lust?]

[Oh, that, ah, I know, but I won’t tell you.]

Eros: [……]

Dijia, as the successor lord god, did not follow the usual rules. He caused the Pseudo Lord God’s plan to fail to go smoothly and also weakened their power. It was no wonder the pseudo Lord God was furious.

“Xin, why are you soaked to the skin?” Dijia’s voice came from a short distance away. Bai Lixin suddenly realised that he had reached the tribal gate as he walked lost in thought.

He smiled with his beautiful crescent eyes, “I wanted to catch a fish, but instead of catching one, I fell into the water. That’s why I’m soaked. ”

Dijia looked at Bai Lixin with his starry dark eyes, taking in his expression before he said, “Go pack your things, we’re leaving.”

“Leaving?”

“Ants and insects are crawling out of their burrows in swarms, birds are flying out of their nests in the forest, and beasts are roaring. The domesticated animals are restless, and there are signs in the sky. Floods and storms are coming. It is not too late to pack up and leave. We will follow the river bank and head upstream. ”

Bai Lixin nodded, and only then did he notice the vision Dijia had spoken of. He had just followed Dijia two steps towards the dwelling when he suddenly paused, “Upstream? Isn’t the cliff upstream? ”

Dijia nodded, “There is a cliff upstream of the river. It is away from the river bank, but we will move as close to it as possible. ”

“We can’t go there!” How can we go there? Wouldn’t going there be just what the Pseudo Lord God wanted?

“Why?”

“Because …… the cliff is steep and fragile. It can break and slide down if the floods hit it hard enough. Wouldn’t that be more dangerous? Let’s move deeper into the dense forest high above. They can absorb the water and hold back these fierce floods and beasts. We must move as far away from the river bank as possible!”

People were busy packing up around them. The women, with bundles in their hands, were reluctant to part with the docile animals they had raised and the cultivated ground.

These were the fruits of their labour for over a year. For the first time in their lives, they enjoyed living in peace and contentment. But all this was immediately lost to a natural disaster.

The animals in the pens kicked and trashed anxiously, whining and wailing.

The men embraced their women and took their loved ones into their arms.

Dijia looked at the riverbank, which was already beginning to flood, and soothed the crowd: “Let all the animals go. You have mastered the art of living. Even if we are in a completely new and unfamiliar region, we can regain our former glory. You will still be able to grow a full crop and raise docile animals. In addition, when you go to a new place, you may be able to spread and exchange knowledge from those places and get a higher level. Human life is only a few decades long, but human history and memory can go on for a long time. Record your wisdom and pass it on to future generations. It is a treasure that belongs to mankind itself, and not even the gods can snatch it away. ”

The people had long regarded Dijia as their leader in life and spirit. When they heard him say this, they let go of the reluctance and anxiety in their hearts.

They looked at each other for a moment, then opened the gates to release the restless animals.

As soon as they were released, the animals stomped around a few times before making a few cries and scurrying off into the woods.

Dijia turned to the group packing their belongings and said, “Faster. We shall move deeper into the dense forest and hopefully find shelter before the storm and floods come.”

Bai Lixin’s heart was relieved, “Thank you for believing in me, Dijia.”

Dijia rubbed Bai Lixin’s head and said, “Go and pack your things.”
