  Chapter 366 The King of Light

  From teaching the first redthorn snake to learn to walk upright, to using stones and branches to drive away wild animals, to lighting a bonfire, and leading the redthorn people to gather around the stove, Chi Lian has gone through many years.

  The Redthorn people, who were hunted by wild boars and wolves in the past, have now become the nightmares that wild beasts fear. They make deep pit traps, sharpen stones and branches, drive wild beasts with fire, and skillfully take whatever they want in nature.

   Every time the redthorn hunts successfully, they will swing their soft arms and dance weird and wild dances around the campfire. Only at this time, they still have a trace of the snake in the past.

   Chi Lian always stares at the fire and remains silent.

  The flames lengthened and shortened the shadows of the Redthorn man, and each shadow ran and changed on the ground and stone walls, like some ancient and mysterious ritual.

  The light casts shadows, like ashes from a fire that burns under one's feet.

   Chi Lian looked at the singing and dancing of the same clan, but he sensed a distant and dark voice.

  The voice came from the sky. At the far end higher than the clouds and more erratic than the wind, there was a pair of eyes hidden behind the darkness, staring at me.

come on.

  Answer me, tell me, come near me.

  The voice spoke softly, surrounding Chi Lian like a ubiquitous wind, making him often in a trance.

  He couldn't tell if the voice really came from outside the sky, or if it was a phantom and wild fantasy produced in his own mind.

   "King, king?"

  The call of a redthorn man brought Chi Lian back to his senses.

   "King, we have sent the freshest fish and wild boar legs to the temple and dedicated them to the gods."

  This redthorn man is called Zhao, he likes to use fire to approach many things, and uses fire to illuminate the clearest textures on stones, shells and trees.

  Zhao is the first Redthorn man to imitate Chi Lian and learn to walk upright. He is Chi Lian's most reliable assistant. Zhao can always coordinate the tribe well, and do a good job in hunting, building and defense.

  He is like Chi Lian's shadow, always following behind the King of Redthorn, quiet and docile.

   "What's more, we have repaired the stargazing altar. Please climb on it. As long as you can stand on the stargazing altar where the bird spirits gather, you will definitely be able to hear more will from the sky."

  The so-called stargazing altar is actually an altar built on a high hill. It is made of many hard granites bonded together, and the adhesive is crushed shell ash and clay.

  It is shaped like a large gray bird's nest, which is also covered with many kinds of bird feathers.

  The Redthorn people believe that these feathers can call the bird spirit to stay here, so that people on the altar can be connected with the sky like a bird.

   Chi Lian sat cross-legged on the altar, looking up at the sky.

  It was night, and a huge stone bonfire was lit in the center of the stargazing altar. The wind kept playing with the flames, making Chi Lian's shadow longer and shorter.

   Stars twinkle in the dark sky, and those distant light spots are considered to be the eyes of gods, and many gods stare at this earthly world.

  The original creator and guardian of the world, the omnipotent God Yao, is the sun that shines on everything in the daytime. Only when God Yao closed his eyes, did other gods dare to open their eyes and peek here from beyond the sky.

  Zhao stood quietly by the stargazing altar, just like hundreds of Redthorn people, waiting for their king to listen to the ravings of the gods from beyond the sky.

  In the quiet night, Chi Lian was particularly irritable.

  The voice kept telling him to do it, to pray, to answer, to proclaim.

  The clearer the voice was, the more he didn't want to answer, just like a wild animal instinctively drove his body to bite and kill, Chi Lian felt an unspeakable shame.

   Is there any reason to do such a thing?

  In this world called Zhoudao, the only true **** is Lord Yao.

  God Yao endowed me with life and wisdom, and Teacher Slymore enlightened me, but what about the endless voice?

   Is it some **** too? Which star in the sky is it? Why did it find itself?

   Is it the will of evil, or the embodiment of delusion?

   Chi Lian couldn't help thinking of a big bird. It will hide in the dense leaves, imitate other birds to make light and crisp sounds, attract small birds to approach, and then hunt and eat them.

   But he couldn't resist the restless impulse in his heart.

   Chi Lian remembered what the teacher said.

  —Know instinct and use wisdom to lead instinct.

  He looked at the night sky, and saw the light among the many stars. It shone with coquettish red light, like a drop of blood covered in snow, and like a floating mountain standing tall on the vast sea.

  Other redthorn people couldn't see it, but in Chi Lian's eyes, it was extremely clear.

   Chi Lian recited silently in his heart.

-Who are you?

   That distant star just twinkles.

  Tell me, come near me.

  The voice from the Star God became stronger, but there were no new words or replies.

  The only difference is that there is a faint red fluorescent light lingering on Chi Lian's body, and this halo gradually merged into his body, making him feel that his strength is slowly increasing.

   In response to this, the surrounding redthorns curled up one by one, in awe and fear.

   Chi Lian felt lonely.

  He left the stargazing altar and came to the temple barefoot.

  The green-clothed apostle knelt in front of the statue, as pious and quiet as ever.

   There are no lights in the temple, but there is always a layer of holy light lingering here, so that the inside is never dark. Anyone who comes here will become peaceful and gentle.

   Chi Lian knelt down behind the teacher.

  He raised his head and looked up at the tall **** statue.

  Yao God is in a sitting and standing posture, and his face is blurred and unrecognizable, representing the majesty of the gods that cannot be seen directly. However, he has a clear body like a mortal, which symbolizes that he is always close to his people and believers.

  Behind the statue of God Yao are the gods who guard him.

  The white statue, except for the two wild boar tusks, is very eye-catching. The head and torso also have no carvings, just like a thick stone pillar with the head of a beast. He is the embodiment of defiance and courage.

  The statue of King Wuji is like a shrunken mountain, with a head without facial features on the top of the mountain, which symbolizes divinity and tolerance in nature.

  The Moment God is a gray and white stone statue shaped like a pyramid. Each side of it is simple and standardized, representing the wisdom and laws of the world.

   "Teacher, I feel pain."

  Chi Lian will only show his fragility and confusion when facing the teacher.

  Redthorn people are not yet able to understand the confusion and anxiety brought about by wisdom, the fear and self-insignificance behind half-knowledge.

   "I have too many doubts."

   "Why am I the apostle of Lord Yao, but there is another voice in my body? Why does that distant star keep affecting me and make me respond?"

   "Why do I look so similar to other redthorns, but are so different?"

   "I keep trying to resist my instincts, but they always end up being driven by them. I'm just too weak, no different from those beasts...I'm in pain."

   Chi Lian forcefully closed his eyes and pursed his lips tightly.

  The man in green with his back turned his back said softly: "In the cold winter, the birds will always fly to the warm south."

  “There was a bird who didn’t want to leave. It was shivering with cold, but it kept trying, but in the end it would be knocked down by the cold and fly to a warmer place.”

   "For the birds, this is a rebellion that is doomed to failure, but it does not mean it is meaningless."

   "Warming the woods in winter will awaken spring."

   Chi Lian said in a daze, "But it's just a bird, can it really do it?"

"You're right, it's just a bird. Most birds can only follow and find warmth, some birds can create warmth, they can build nests, and even find ways to light a fire... of course that's not easy, so Most birds are followers of spring."

  The man in green continued to preach: "It is not shameful to be afraid of the cold. The fear of the cold and the love of warmth all stem from the need for survival. Don't hate instinct, and you don't need to hate your own weakness."

  “Whether it’s a bird or a dragon, they all have their own limitations and things they can’t do.”

   "All we have to do is light the fire."

"And to do this, don't be trapped in a lonely environment, don't struggle alone, try to trust other people. Those who see you as a leader, as a prophet, as a servant of the gods...they may be far less intelligent than you, Nor have your innate strength, but they can also forge warm and great lairs."

   "The God of Yao is always generous with the blessings of heroes in every ordinary group, because they are the symbol of the world's change."

"Heroes are never alone, because everyone is helping these potential heroes, even if it's just helping him walk a stone-strewn road, giving him a pot of water, or even just nodding and smiling at him... Increase the soil where heroes are born."

   "Go, Chi Lian, don't treat them as weak ants and ignorant sparrows, they will be your best friends, the most trusted brothers, and the most supportive and source of your support."

   "Go back to them, they need you, and you need them."

   Chi Lian slowly opened his eyes, his face full of shame: "Teacher, I understand... I am too arrogant."

  Holding a torch in his hand, he followed the starlight all the way back to the entrance of the cave where the redthorn people lived. Most of the Redthorn people have not fallen asleep yet, they are all waiting for the return of the leader and listening to the gospel of the gods.

"friends."

Chi Lian looked at the faces looking at him, and he raised his finger to the sky: "The oracle is always above our heads, and we listen to the revelation given by Lord Yao God every day, that is, every day we can see the sun."

   “The world needs more fire.”

   "Let's make the night full of light together."

  The red thorn people didn't react.

  For a long time, the king with aloof status has been giving orders, or showing indifference and unfathomable attitude. He looks so young, but he seems to have experienced countless years. He is the closest person to God except the apostles of the temple.

  At this time, he was smiling, and he became like the most ordinary redthorn man, and the high-level god's light seemed to be put away by him.

   According to the first reaction.

  He held up the torch: "Light! King of Light!"

  Others followed suit and shouted: "King of Light!"

   "King of Light!"

   "King of Light!"

  …

   Time flies, and a series of changes have taken place in the island world.

  Around the temple, the first city "Guangming City" was established. The Redthorn people surrounded this god-given land and began to explore and march towards further land, and villages appeared along the way.

  They tamed wolves, raised young wild boars, and fought against large beasts with slings, darts, and sharpened wooden spears.

  Redthorns learned to use red coral mirages to identify distant environments, and learned from birds how to plant seeds and steadily harvest edible berries and roots.

  So far, the Redthorn Clan has formally established its status as the overlord of the land.

   They build docks, but not ships. Redthorn people come from the sea, they can go underwater as easily as returning home, and they can live underwater for a long time.

  The role of the pier is to welcome the red thorn snake that landed from the bottom of the sea.

  More and more red thorn snakes escaped from the dangerous deep-sea survival, turned into red thorn people through imitation, and gradually integrated into urban life on land. Guangming City also entered a period of rapid development, and the number of people soon exceeded 50,000.

  One day, Zhao suddenly hurried to the stargazing altar.

   "King, the murlocs are here."

   Chi Lian was watching the stars at night, he said: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"The group of half-man, half-fish murlocs didn't understand our language, and they used to ask us for food. Our people saw them as pitiful, so we gave them fruits and roots. Later, they lived on the pier again, and we also gave them a lot. help…"

   "Not long ago, the murlocs took our people into the water and showed us their temple!"

   "Shrine?"

   "Yes, king, that is definitely a temple, and it should be the **** that those murlocs believe in."

Zhao said excitedly: "More than that, there are two treasures in the temple. There is a huge spear shining in front of the temple. The murloc asked us to pull out the spear and said that he would give us this **** weapon .You hurry up and have a look.”

   "If you get that treasure, you will definitely rule the entire ocean!"

   Chi Lian asked: "What is the other treasure?"

   "A giant clam that carried the temple on its back."

   According to the statement: "The murlocs made gestures, as if to say that the giant clam used to be the mount of their gods."
