Chapter 1154: Sacrifice?
In just a few days, through the explosion of food and the improvement of physical fitness in all aspects, Aesop, the wizard who has grown thin water and golden scales in many places on his body, can be sure that he is no longer a pure human.
"Is the Void God so terrifying?" Isolt the sorcerer looked at his current palm, his face full of awe, "I just looked at Him, no, not even a glance at Him, just this level of contact, my life form has changed so much. ”
"What would I be if I had a real contact and I came face to face with the true nature of that Great Being?" said the wizard Isolt.
Because it was just a boring attempt, he was given an opportunity that he had never imagined. Compared to his gains, the materials consumed to arrange the ritual were nothing at all, and they were not worth mentioning.
Aesop had tested it, and the nature of his life had been completely changed, and he had become a special creature superior to humans, with greater vitality, greater strength, and a longer lifespan.
It can be called a cheap payment and a harvest that is enough to change the fate, so profitable that the wizard Aesop loses his usual composure and tries to communicate with the gods of nothingness for the second time.
Then, when nothing happened, the sorcerer Isolt had burned to ashes on the ritual, and after several changes in expression, finally returned to gloom. Then, with a strong reluctance and luck, he arranged the rituals many times in the following months.
But these summoning rituals were exactly the same as he had expected before the first ritual, a waste of material and time, and he received no response.
Such a crazy behavior even attracted the attention of other wizards, because he had purchased too many ritual materials, and then ridicule and persuasion.
"They simply don't understand. ”
The wizard who had been extremely fortunate to have an intersection with a great existence in the void that could not be called contact at all was naturally dismissive of the eyes of the outside world.
And after months of madness, he gradually calmed down, and he also realized that the success of his attempt a few months ago might just be lucky, maybe the great being was as boring as he was at that time, so he set his eyes on it.
"Aesop, Aesop, you should understand that an ant-like creature like you can cross paths with a mythical existence once, and it is already a lifetime of luck, how can you hope for a second time?"
The wizard laughed at himself and cut off his previous luck thoughts, allowing himself to regain his clarity, "Now I am not qualified to contact that kind of existence at all, I should work hard to become stronger now, only if I am strong enough, can I make that existence slightly deflect my gaze, and then look at me a second time." ”
......
In the primeval world of savagery, giant beasts as tall as mountains walk on the earth, and fierce birds with their wings outstretched to obscure half of the sky hovers in the sky...... This is the firstborn world that has just been born out of the void for a short time.
Of course, this is not long, it is relative to the age of the world. The ancient age of this world, that is, the era of giant beasts, is coming to an end.
Because there is a population of wisdom in this wild world, the giant apes that have learned to walk upright, the great apes who have given birth to the first wisdom know how to use things outside their bodies, and they also know how to unite and cooperate to hunt together.
The beasts that had caused the Homo erectus to flee in disarray fell under their siege, and the flesh of the behemoths became food for the Homo erectus, giving the Homo erectus a more powerful physique and a better weapon, the inedible bone scales were far harder than ordinary metal.
In the endless fighting, the Homo erectus began to gradually multiply and spread in this wild land, gradually growing, and more and more fierce beasts fell at the feet of the Homo erectus who had learned to cooperate and knew how to use human tactics to surround them.
However, in the transcendent world, after the crowd tactics reach a certain level, they lose their meaning. Thus, by hunting all kinds of transcendent flesh and blood, the Homo erectus ape, whose wisdom was further strengthened, knew awe.
They were in awe of the supernatural beasts that could easily slaughter them, and in the beginning, Homo erectus thought that these beasts were beyond their reach or hunt, and in extreme fear, they learned to worship them.
The first totem worship was born, and tribes of Homo erectus scattered across the land, depending on their location, worshipped the otherworldly behemoths in the vicinity around them.
However, the world is so big, there will always be some special tribes, probably because of geography, there are no transcendent beasts around them that can directly threaten them.
As a result, this particular tribe of Homo erectus did not have much awe, because in their cognition, there was no creature in the world that they could not hunt.
Because of this, this tribe of Homo erectus did not worship the object of sacrifice, after all, no one would worship a creature that would bleed under their own attacks and even fall at their feet.
As a result, these tribes of Homo erectus began to worship the disembodied natural celestial phenomena, towering majestic mountains, vast rivers that could not be seen at a glance, or rolling thunderstorm clouds, blooming with endless bright suns, or moons with soft moonlight.
And on this earth, there is a tribe of Homo erectus that chooses to worship the vast sky, although the object of worship and sacrifice is somewhat special, but it is normal, but they do not sacrifice the boundless sky in a broad sense, but a more specific existence.
The Homo erectus who presided over the sacrifice believed that there was a majestic existence in the sky that was more powerful than all the creatures on the earth, and that this being was high above the heavens, controlling the cycle of day and night, controlling the wind, rain and thunder, and that he was the ruler of all things in the world.
Well, it sounds very powerful, but compared to the real existence of the transcendent beasts worshiped by the vast majority of the Homo erectus tribes on the earth, this Homo erectus tribe, what they worship and sacrifice is actually a fictional existence that they themselves have obsessed.
However, in the transcendent world, if a group of creatures believe that it is real and sacrifice it daily, the false will become real, and the unreal will become real.
But it's a pity that the existence of this Homo erectus tribe, if it really exists, is simply the master of this world. Therefore, with the scale of this tribe of Homo erectus, even if they were sacrificed day and night, the gods they worshipped would not be real, no matter what.
Unless this Homo erectus tribe can swallow up all other Homo erectus tribes, suppress all disobedience in the world, and lead the Homo erectus population to become the absolute overlord of the world.
Then they reproduced wildly, so that the figure of Homo erectus appeared everywhere in the world, and finally hundreds of millions of Homo erectus sacrificed day and night for thousands of years, so that there was a glimmer of possibility, turning the illusory existence that did not exist in their sacrifice into reality.
But this is simply impossible, so the existence of the great shore of their sacrifice not only does not exist, but there is not even the possibility of turning the virtual into reality.
Therefore, all the sacrifices and worship activities of this Homo erectus tribe are their self-congratulation and do not affect themselves in any way. After all, the power of faith generated by their sacrifice and the sacrifice did not receive the object at all, so naturally there was no feedback.
However, there are always exceptions to everything, and it is true that there is no existence that controls the cycle of the sun and the moon, the wind and clouds, and the thunder, and rises above the sky, but there is a similar existence outside the sky, that is, outside the world.
In the Heavenly Tribe, the Homo erectus apes who worship the god of the sky prepare for the monthly grand sacrifice (self) worship (hi), and they place the best game they hunt during the month in the sacrificial table as a sacrifice.
Nothing else would skimp on the prey they hunted, because they knew the gods they worshipped and would not pay attention to their sacrifices, which would eventually end up in their own stomachs.
The blazing flames were lit on a stone platform nearly fifty meters high, and the erect ape priest dressed in feathers looked at the spiritual flame lit by him, and led a group of female erectus apes to dance the dance of worship to the gods that has been passed down from generation to generation in the tribe.
While dancing, the Homo erectus sacrifice threw the spiritual things collected by the warriors of the tribe into the flames, well, these seemingly precious things, in fact, do not have much effect on the tribe, they are all chicken ribs.
Just like the dance of the sacrifice to the gods that it is dancing now, the Homo erectus who presides over the sacrifice knows very well that it is not dancing at all the same as the previous generation of sacrifices, but this is not a big problem, after all, each generation of sacrifices has its own sacrifice dance.
Of course, this is a nice way to put it, but in fact, the dances of the gods are all choreographed by the priests at will, and they can dance as much as they want, as long as the group of female Homo erectus around the spiritual fire moves in unison.
But just as the curtain was coming down on this sacrifice, some of the males kneeling under the altar began to think about how to hook up with the beautiful female Homo erectus at the next bonfire feast.
The spiritual flames on the altar swelled suddenly, and a majestic being, which was very similar to the concept of the sky god sacrificed by this strange tribe of Homo erectus, lowered his will.
The red-yellow flames danced, turning into gold at an extremely fast speed, and then emitted a terrifying devouring power, extracting the spirituality from the mountains of sacrifices placed around the altar, maintaining the great will to come to stay for a longer period of time.
So, the prey around the altar can be seen turning into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then, under the light wind that blows at some point, sweeps in front of the erect apes kneeling around the altar, causing their faces to become distorted.
"Food...... It's gone!"
