Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Star King
After more than 150 years of development, human beings now have a scale of several hundred people, and the village, which was originally only a few families, has now expanded outward, and this population growth rate makes Cassia sigh from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, he was still standing at the door of the third floor and did not move, because in his eyes, Matt was now at the end of the crossbow, hovering on the edge of life and death, so he wanted to know what Matt was doing.
Human tribes, in the square of the village, a huge wooden pile is placed in the center, and the cheerful flames rush up to a height of more than ten meters from time to time, which is enough to envelop everyone in light.
As he lay down, the weeping Matt floated above the flames, looking down on the crowd below, his voice reaching everyone's ears with the help of the wind.
"Today, we are able to gather here, to use the knowledge of our brains to break the shackles of nature, to enjoy the newly hunted prey, to dance with joy on the grain, to live in a safe and sheltered house, all thanks to our great sun deity. ”
"It is He who brings us life, He who brings us knowledge, He who leads us out of ignorance and ignorance, who shines a great light on us, who shelters us, and who will give everything we have to repay Him!"
The loud voice drifted in the square with the wind, and everyone involuntarily knelt down, and the sound of the tide resounded throughout the night sky.
"Great Sun God, we will give everything to worship you, listen to your will, do what you think, do what you think, your will will lead us to the light, we will be guided by the oracle of the gods, cast out the darkness and wait for your coming......"
The corners of Cassia in the Moon Palace are upturned, and he looks at it with interest:
"I thought that at this stage there would only be primitive abstract worship, and that there would be concrete gods so soon? What did Matt want to do? Divine envoys? So why did you worship the sun god at night?"
Cassia was still quietly observing, and the Terran square over there had already resounded with overwhelming prayers, but what Cassia didn't notice was that in his sea of consciousness, a little bit of golden light appeared from time to time and disappeared from time to time.
Matt's cloudy eyes looked around, and he stretched out his hand to suppress the sound of prayer, and shouted:
"When the sun rises and the first rays of light appear on the earth, and the oracle descends, we need more prey, more grain, more safe and strong houses. ”
"God, yes, He heard our prayers, and if we give enough sacrifices, God can give us more in return and give us hope. ”
"For God's sake, for ourselves, for hope, we are willing to give!"
Matt's voice was not loud, but there was an invisible magic, everyone present was infected by him, in this environment of the jungle, the sustenance of the soul is very important, he clearly understands this.
As Matt's voice fell, someone in the crowd shouted:
"For God!"
"For God!"
Amid the shouts of many people in the square, out of the circle of people closest to the fire, came out a dozen strong men, who were shirtless, their skin smeared with primitive abstract sun lines, and with a pious expression on their faces, walking towards the fire step by step.
Cassia in the Moon Palace frowned suddenly, squinted at Matt, and the figure slowly disappeared.
Above the square, Matt's breath became short, and there were many thoughts in his mind: "Hurry, hurry up, with your life, I can live for a while longer, and I can continue to lead the people to reproduce and develop, this is your honor, quickly!"
And at this moment, someone suddenly stood up in the square and shouted, "Elder, God is not like this!"
Just like the emperor's new clothes, the first to tell the truth is always a child who is ignorant of the world.
It was a boy of about 7 or 8 years old dressed in animal skins, with a look of determination, a hint of fear, and a hint of helplessness.
Although his voice was small, it was like ink dripping into the water, and the square was silent for a while, and everyone turned their heads to look at the boy and was silent.
In the air, Matt's eyes were instantly sharp, staring at him like an eagle, and just his eyes pierced the boy's heart for a while.
At this time, one of the strong men who walked out of the crowd and approached the fire turned around: "Kyle, shut up!"
"Father......" The boy named Kyle was about to say something, but his little friend covered his mouth.
"Kyle, the Elder is watching you......"
The commotion was only for a moment, and no one cared about what the child said, so Matt eased up and said, "Go on." ”
More than a dozen strong men glanced at each other, their faces were resolute, and they continued to walk towards the fire.
The wind at night was a little strong, blowing the flames and swaying, but Matt was not worried, everything was under his control, and as long as the sacrifice was completed, he would be able to continue to lead his people to reproduce, which was his mission.
The strong men approached step by step, and the heat of the flame made the skin ache, but they still did not hesitate to pounce on the fire.
There was a soft bang, and everyone present was stunned, only to see that the first man who took the lead fell to the ground, and he should have fallen into the fire, but he hit something and was bounced back.
Then, the rest of the men looked at each other and tried to reach for the fire, but they all seemed to touch an invisible wall, and everyone looked at Matt in the air.
And Matt, although he was calm on the surface and looked at the people below with a blank face, there was a storm in his heart, and he was horrified to find that he had lost control of the wind.
It's not that he doesn't want to speak, but he can't move at all, as if someone has been locked in a mold, and his figure is tightly choked.
Nearly a hundred years, since he had the power of the wind, how could he have been so alarmed, and it was at this time that he remembered the night of his childhood, a little golden light floating in the night sky.
Looking at Matt, who was not moving in the air, everyone began to talk to each other, and even those strong men were stunned for a while.
At this moment, a thunderclap sounded from the night sky, and everyone was frightened, looked up at the sky, and then saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Originally, only the moon was emitting a cold light in the dark night sky, but after the thunder sounded, the moon's figure faded and eventually faded away.
In the east, a ray of light pierced the night sky without warning, and the bright sunlight instantly filled the land, and the sun came to the heads of the people at an incomprehensible speed.
Then a magnificent voice rang out from all around:
"Ignorance!"
The deafening voice resounded across the earth, hitting the hearts of all the people, and reverberated incessantly.
Then they saw that Matt, who had been flying in the air, suddenly fell and fell directly into the fire.
And Matt had already guessed something the moment he fell, and he struggled to let out a cry:
"Why? Why? I'm doing your will, why?"
"You're satisfying your own desires. Cassia's figure slowly appeared in the firelight, still wearing a tooth-white sun-patterned mask and moon-white robe.
"No, you said that man is never an individual, but a whole, and since it is a whole, someone must stand up and guide them, you choose me, you choose me!" shouted Matt fiercely.
"I regret it. ”
"No, you can't do that, only I can faithfully carry out your will, only I can!" the flames sliced past Matt again and again, making his voice a little hoarse.
Looking at Matt's crazy appearance, Cassia sighed, "You want to live?"
Matt's eyes were bloodshot and he waved his arms as if he had grasped something:
"Yes, I will be your most loyal servant......"
Cassia waved his hand: "Then Matt, what is the price?"
Matt was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the people outside and said, "Them, I can dedicate them to you and ask for your forgiveness." ”
Cassia was silent for a while, then spoke, "Your parents and brother were also one of them. ”
After saying that, Cassia shook his head and waved his hand, and the figure disappeared into the flames.
"No!" Matt tried his last strength to break out of the flames, but was instantly swallowed by light and heat.
Everyone in the square was stunned, and they didn't seem to have reacted to what had just happened, and their minds were full of the word "ignorance".
Only Kyle broke free of his friend's arm, pulled through the crowd, and ran towards his father, but as he ran, he found that it was getting darker and darker, and there were fewer and fewer people, until a river appeared in front of him, surrounded by rice paddies, and a man in a mask and a moon-white robe stood quietly by the river, with his back to him.
Kyle stopped, fell to his knees with a thud, and his voice trembled, "Too...... The god of the sun...... Under the crown. ”
Cassia didn't turn around, but split his will to appease Kyle, and asked softly:
"What do you think...... What is a person?"
"Phase...... Help, know, love......" Kyle whispered.
Cassia raised an eyebrow, surprised that a child could say such a thing.
But then Kyle is heard saying, "Village...... The sage of the village taught ......"
Cassia bowed: "But you should be the only one who can remember." ”
Cassia raised his hand, and a ray of light entered Kyle's body: "Go back, future Star King, lead them out of their ignorance and build a true civilization, may you always remember what you just said." ”
Star ...... Star...... King of the Stars?...... What is a star ......" However, before Kyle could finish speaking, Cassia had already left the place.
Kyle came to his senses and found himself kneeling beside the fire, the sky had returned to darkness, the cold light of the moon was once again shining on the earth, and his father was shaking him with a worried expression.
