Chapter 40: The Sorrow of the Entropy

The more than thirty millipedes outside the stone gate did not leave, but began to devour the corpses of the headless millipedes, without any sorrow for the death of their companions.

Qin Yu saw that these millipedes would not leave for a while, and he couldn't get out, so he simply turned around and looked at the stone room.

This stone room is a bit similar to a hall, empty, and there are two stone doors inside, Qin Yu carefully pushed one of them open, trying not to make a sound, so as not to let the millipedes outside find out.

The stone door was pushed open, Qin Yu opened his mouth wide in shock again, and when he looked at it, it was white, like the corpses piled up in front of him, dazzling his eyes, and the unique smell of rotten bones came to his nose, Qin Yu couldn't bear it, and hurriedly withdrew from the stone door and closed the stone door.

"How can there be so many bones here, could it be that the Entropy people like to bury the dead in a stone room?"

Qin Yu was sure that these were human bones, as high as a hill, how many people's bones would have to be piled up, unless this was the burial custom of the Entropy Clan, otherwise it was too abnormal.

"There's a skeleton in the other door. Qin Yu muttered, and pushed open another stone door, fortunately, he breathed a sigh of relief, no bones were found in this stone room, only a stone bed and a stone table, the walls were inlaid with fluorite, and through the light of fluorite, he could also see some things on the stone table.

Qin Yu walked into the room, walked quickly to the stone table, and found that a piece of silk cloth was placed on the table, which was folded.

This is a piece of yellow silk cloth, which belongs to that kind of thin silk, Qin Yu could see that the words were written on this silk cloth at a glance, and he picked up the silk cloth curiously and opened it to see.

The words on the silk cloth were dense, the size of a fly's head, and it took Qin Yu a lot of effort to understand what was written on this silk cloth.

Putting down the silk cloth, Qin Yu's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, his face was cloudy, and he slammed his fist on the stone table with a fist after reaching the end.

The reason why Qin Yu's mood fluctuated so much was the content of this silk cloth, which was recorded by a member of the Entropy clan who wanted to show it to future generations.

The entropy tribe is brought from the migration to the copper cymbal mountain, where the specific source is not even clear to the people of the entropy tribe, the entropy tribe lives in the copper cymbal mountain, because there are many beasts and poisonous snakes in the mountain, the situation of the entropy tribe is very bad, and the population development is very slow, and this situation has not changed until the arrival of the thousand-foot god king.

As recorded in the stone pillar on the Nine Stars and Three Talents Array, the Thousand-Footed Divine Monarch appeared in front of the Entropy people and helped them drive away the beasts and poisonous snakes, and since then the Entropy people have become the most powerful force in the area of Copper Cymbal Mountain, and the population of the tribe has developed rapidly.

In order to thank the Thousand-Foot Divine Monarch, the Entropy people worshipped the Thousand-Footed Divine Monarch as a guardian divine beast, with a higher status than the patriarch, and also built many altars to worship and worship the Thousand-Footed Divine Monarch. And the cave where Qin Yu is now was dug by the Entropy Clan for the efforts of several generations of people to live in the Thousand Foot Divine Monarch.

After the cave was built, the Thousand-Footed Divine Monarch lived in the cave and never went out again, and the people of the Entropy clan were not allowed to enter the cave casually to disturb it.

Just a few hundred years after the Thousand-Footed Divine Monarch stayed in the cave, it suddenly appeared in front of the Entropy people again, and wanted to teach the Entropy people a talent, spatial teleportation.

The Thousand-Foot Divine Monarch took a group of newly-born children of the Entropy Clan into the cave, and three days later, this group of children was sent out, and sure enough, when this group of children grew up, they had the talent of spatial teleportation, and they could appear in a strange place thousands of kilometers away at once.

Of course, this kind of teleportation is not unlimited, and a person can only use it three times in a year, and the farther away it is, the fewer times it can be used. The first batch of teenagers who had acquired the spatial talent lived to be over eighty years old, and after their deaths, their bodies were sent to the place designated by the Thousand Feet Divine Monarch, because it told the people of the Entropy Clan that they were no longer mortals after receiving the blessings of the gods, and that they could not be buried according to the burial method of mortal deaths, and that the corpses must be buried in specific locations in the cave according to its requirements.

Since then, as long as there is a newborn baby, the people of the entropy tribe will be sent into the cave to receive the blessing ceremony of the thousand-legged god, but gradually the entropy people have discovered a phenomenon, except for the first and second generations of entropy people who received blessings, none of the entropy people behind them have lived past the age of seventy, and even died earlier than the generation, and the proportion of young and middle-aged people dying is more than half.

This phenomenon caused panic among the Entropy people, but the Thousand-Foot Divine Monarch told them that it was because they had gained the power of the gods, the punishment brought by the heavens, but as long as they survived a few generations, the bloodline of the body was completely separated from the mortals, and they would not be able to live a long life.

For the words of the Thousand-Footed Divine Monarch, the people of the Entropy Clan were convinced, thinking that their clan might become immortals, they smiled one by one, and some of the sacrifices now were nothing compared to becoming gods.

In this way, several generations have passed, and there are no old people in the entropy race, and once the man is over thirty years old, he will die, and the woman can live a little longer and live to be forty years old.

The young people were not in awe, and they did not respect the Thousand-Foot Divine Monarch as much as the older generation, and when they saw the early death of their elders' parents one by one, they began to oppose becoming gods, and they all asked to give up the opening of their talents.

The Thousand Foot Divine Monarch did not agree to their request, and the contradiction between the two sides was formed, and the contradiction deepened in the days that followed, and finally broke out completely with the occurrence of one thing.

The protagonist of this incident is the owner of this silk cloth, when he was twenty years old, his mother died, and according to the rules, he had to send her body to the place designated by the Thousand Feet God King in the cave at the appointed time.

The owner of the silk cloth did not send his mother's body into the cave in time, but wanted to bury his mother secretly outside, so he took advantage of the night to carry his mother's body up a hill to bury it.

Just as he had dug the grave and moved his mother's body, he suddenly heard an urgent chirp, which was even worse than the crow of a crow, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully, only to realize that the sound came from his mother's heart.

In the light of the moonlight, he witnessed a small red creature burst out of his mother's heart, stared at him for a while, and then suddenly jumped into the distance, and disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest.

The owner of the silk cloth was startled by the sudden appearance of the red creature, and when he came back to his senses, the red creature had long since disappeared. However, this incident also gave him an extra mind, and the next time a clansman died, he secretly followed the person who sent the corpse into the cave and mixed into the place where the corpse was placed, which was the stone chamber that Qin Yu saw earlier.

This time he was prepared, and he stayed by the corpse for three days, about the same time as his mother died, and sure enough, he saw the red creature crawling out of the heart of the corpse again, and he had been prepared to cover it with a cover the moment the red creature came out to prevent it from flying away.

A month after the master of the silk cloth grabbed the red creatures and took them away, the Thousand-Foot Divine Monarch suddenly told everyone that a major ritual of worshiping the heavens would be held, and that once the ritual was completed, their lifespans would be long and they would never die so early.

The news from the Thousand-Footed Divine Monarch made the entire Entropy Clan rejoice, and everyone prepared the things needed to sacrifice to the heavens according to the requirements of the Thousand-Footed Divine Monarch, only the owner of the silk cloth felt that something was wrong, because he felt the breath of the Thousand-Footed Divine Monarch on the body of this red creature, which told him that the red creature should be hiding a big secret.

On the day of the Heaven Sacrifice, all the Entropy Clan people came to the Thousand-Foot Divine Monarch's cave mansion, waiting for the Thousand-Foot Divine Monarch to lead everyone to start the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. But to their surprise, when they all arrived at the altar, the Thousand-Foot Divine Monarch did not appear, but instead appeared countless millipedes, the feet of these millipedes slapped the ground neatly, and a strange rhythmic sound resounded throughout the altar.

The master of the silk cloth saw countless people fall to the ground with a bang at this strange rhythm, and then a red creature emerged from their hearts, exactly as it had been after his mother's death.

Seeing this scene, the master of the silk cloth fully understood that this thousand-legged divine monarch was not a divine beast at all, but after deceiving the trust of the clan, he raised this red creature in the body of the clan, and once these red creatures broke out, the clansman would also die.

Feeling a strange movement in his heart, the owner of the silk cloth rushed into the stone room, hurriedly wrote this paragraph, and then walked into the stone room next door where the corpse was kept, waiting for death to come.
