"What is it here, and what does it have to do with my origin?"

Luke subconsciously touched the crystalline body that was made into a pendant and hung around his neck, and his eyes revealed a deep light.

I don't know why, he doesn't feel any energy fluctuations from here, and he doesn't even feel any traces of existence.

The blue liquid is like a visual illusion, an illusion made entirely of light and shadow.

Obviously not knowing what the boy in front of him was thinking, she cautiously reminded, "We are now in the sight of the Bone City guards, you better make a decision quickly, whether to enter the city or just turn around and leave." After all, this is not an ordinary city, but the only remaining city of faith in the entire world. ”

"City of Faith?"

Luke looked up at the gates and walls in front of him, which were completely made up of countless bones, with a disapproving expression on his face.

In fact, when the clan elders recounted the past history of this world, and whenever they told the story of the gods in a tone of great remembrance, his heart was filled with contempt and disdain.

Although he himself didn't quite know what this contempt and disdain was, why he looked down on a transcendent life that was countless times more powerful than himself for no reason.

"Yes, City of Faith! Since it has never been attacked or destroyed by invaders, the huge temple in the center still retains some of the most mysterious powers that have attracted countless fanatical worshippers. If you show even the slightest disrespect for their beliefs, these guys will attack like madmen and won't stop unless they are a dead general. ”

As she said this, Raffne visibly shuddered, her pupils filled with awe and fear.

"Oh, it sounds like they've forgotten what it's like to be afraid. It doesn't matter, if things really get bad to a certain point, I don't mind re-teaching them. ”

With that, Luke took the lead through the skull of the giant beast and paid a large entrance tax to the guards guarding the gate, and finally entered this famous city.

Spacious streets, quiet and orderly residents......

No beggars!

No slaves!

There are no dying and insensitive cripples!

Everything looks like a complex clock, running according to a pre-designed pattern.

It's in stark contrast to the harsh reality of chaos and predation in the desert world outside.

"Unbelievable! How does the ruler here fill his hungry mouths, and how does he maintain order?" Luke's tone was full of curiosity.

There's no way not to be curious!

Judging by its size and population density, the Bone City has at least fifty or sixty thousand residents.

In a world where resources are almost depleted, it is theoretically impossible to feed such a dense population all at once, while ensuring enough clean drinking water and food.

Not to mention tens of thousands of people, even the place where he grew up, feeding only about a hundred people, often has an existential crisis due to various problems, and needs to send warriors out to find food and clean water.

"As I said, unlike any other place, there are still some mysterious powers that are still there. Do you see that huge temple? It is said that there is an inexhaustible waterhole that can be used to grow a lot of high-yield crops and raise a large number of livestock. Raffne explained, pointing to the thirty-meter-tall dome-shaped building in front of her.

"An inexhaustible pool of water?"

Just as Luke began to wonder if it was a gushing of groundwater caused by a special geographical condition, or a pool of water connected to some heterotopic plane, a guy in a gray robe suddenly stopped the two of them.

He held up a cane carved from an unknown bone, and asked in a rather solemn voice, "Outsiders, do you feel the call of great consciousness?"

"Great consciousness?" Luke blinked blankly.

"Yes, the Great Will! It is a precious spiritual treasure left behind by the fall of the gods in ancient times, and it is the only hope that can save us. Come on, feel it, accept it, and let it be the backbone of your heart. Only then can you receive merciful salvation. Our world will soon be destroyed, and only life will survive under the redemption of the Great Will. ”

The man in the gray robe raised his hands in the air, and the whole person fell into a state of extreme fanaticism.

But what is even more amazing is that when the originally quiet residents heard this, they all knelt down and raised their hands in the same high, and chanted some inexplicable words of praise loudly, one by one, just like the former.

Crazy?

Ignorance?

Stupidity?

Or is it mentally abnormal?

Anyway, from the moment he stepped through the city gates, Luke felt that this place was very strange.

But before he could refute the other party, Laphni immediately winked, and then also knelt on one knee, pretending to be very pious in response: "You are right, we feel the great will, and from this day forward, I am willing to be its most faithful believer, and spread its salvation and glory." ”

"Very good! Great will watch over you!"

Seeing Laphne's truly incomparable gaze, the neurotic creature finally smiled with satisfaction, turned and continued down the wide street.

When he was gone, Luke frowned and asked, "Why do you want to do this? You don't believe in the existence of that so-called great consciousness." ”

"In order to reduce unnecessary conflicts! You don't understand, if you don't show respect for this great consciousness here, then a madman like him will be entangled, even resorting to force. You may have a lot of magical power, but don't forget, he's not a single person, he's a huge organization. Laphne explained in a low voice.

"What do you mean...... The rulers of Bone City are a bunch of godlike sticks like that guy just now?" Luke seemed to realize something, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Almost!" Leifne nodded slightly. "In fact, the city is ruled by an organization called the Church of Doom. They proclaim that the end is coming, and that salvation can only be achieved by accepting the Great Will. See the inhabitants? They are all tested devout believers who have been given enough food and water every day to survive. ”

"The dual control of mind and matter? Interesting! I am now becoming more and more interested in this so-called great consciousness......
