Chapter 577: The Arrival of the Moon God (8)
"Legend has it that this world is built on divine power, in ancient times, it was still the gods who had the power to rule the world, and human beings were still a very weak race, they were the lowest race in the whole world, even the weakest creatures were stronger than humans...... Human beings have been living in pain and humiliation, and they have been on the verge of extinction several times, but then there was a war in the God Realm, most of the gods died, and the few remaining gods were unable to firmly control the entire world, and the strongest one of them seized the position of the God King......" Wilson tried to recall what his grandfather said, although Qin and the others all listened with serious expressions, they were all slightly disappointed in their hearts, after all, it was so verbose and worthless, At first glance, it looks like it's made up improvised and the beginning is indeed a bit boring.
"Haha, it must have been boring at first, I thought so at first, so I'll just talk about the more exciting part, although this story-like prophecy doesn't have any wonderful content......" Wilson laughed brightly.
"The rise of mankind began when they began to worship and believe in an ancient god, which is said to be the descendant of the original god-king, and when he appeared, the gods had disappeared, he gained power from the moon, he could control the tides and all kinds of evil beasts of time, he protected mankind, so that mankind became the master of the day, and the night was still the world of those beasts, but it had daytime, and mankind finally had space to develop, and the god made the rules, and beasts were not allowed to appear during the day, And humans have to hide in the houses they built at night......" Wilson continued.
"It's really a very old-fashioned plot, but what is the request of the old god, or what price did he pay for humanity?" Qin Yiyi.
"Ah, it seems that you are really not simple, indeed, human beings have to sacrifice seven men and six ......women to the ancient gods every month," Wilson said, "Only by sacrificing to the ancient gods, the ancient gods are willing to continue to protect human beings, but at that time, the human population was relatively scarce, and thirteen people had to be sacrificed to the ancient gods every month, plus some humans were accidentally hunted by those monsters at night, the number of human beings can be said to have decreased sharply, although human beings have been given a certain amount of protection, but they have also fallen into a slow death......
"However, the old god disappeared for some reason, and the number of humans could finally increase gradually, but before the old god disappeared, he left a prophecy that he would return sooner or later, and that would be when he would destroy the human race......" Wilson said with a pause.
"Well, I've almost guessed the plot later, by the way, is there any prophetic existence among you? He predicted that before the return of the ancient god, there would be several outsiders, who came from different worlds, but they could deal with the ancient god and save the human race...... "Qin Yiyi.
"You guessed it, there are indeed prophetic beings among us, but because that profession is gradually losing its usefulness, no one chooses it anymore, and their number continues to decrease, and now, there is only one left." Wilson Road.
"Okay, I got it." Qin nodded, "Then what is the matter with these beasts in this prophecy, you seem to be worried about their death......
"Well, it's really part of the prophecy, the old god said that sooner or later he would come back, and then his will would control the beasts to wreak havoc during the day, and those who dared to harm those beasts would be cursed to death, and those beasts raged during the day, but at night they didn't appear very often, and we didn't dare to resist casually, and at first there were people who resisted, but all of them died, either by the monsters on the spot, or by a mysterious force......" Wilson continued.
"I'm afraid you'll have to ask the prophet for the more specific content of the prophecy, and that's all I can tell you, and I'm sure you'll be able to save us...... I hope so......"
Wilson couldn't help but sigh after speaking, and Qin nodded slightly, signaling that he didn't have to worry too much.
"It's getting late, why don't we visit the Prophet tomorrow?" Xu Ya suggested.
"Yes, too." Qin Yiyi, "What do you think?" Qin Yi glanced at the star fruit and Wei Chuanjun beside him, the expression of the star fruit did not change much from before listening to the story to the end of the story, but Wei Chuanjun looked thoughtful, the star fruit nodded and said that she had no opinion, and Wei Chuanjun reacted for a long time, and said a word to listen to Qin Yi's arrangement.
"Then tomorrow! Mr. Wilson, I ask you to take us to the prophet's house tomorrow. "Qin Yiyi.
"Well, where are you going to rest tonight? As you can see, I don't have much space in my house, so ...... I'm so sorry......" Wilson looked apologetic.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it, tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, we will come to you on time, you can rest with your family first." As soon as Qin said that, he was about to leave, Xu Ya and the others also got up one after another, they didn't need to rest much at night, and now they had achieved their goal, and they had a preliminary understanding of the content of the prophecy, and now the target task of understanding the prophecy has been completed, so they don't need to be too anxious now.
Wilson sent a few people away, and at this time, Qi Fang and Song Ke had already returned, and Qi Fang told them that there were many monsters hanging out outside the town, but not many entered the town.
"The people in this town don't dare to go out at night, so we won't bother them first, we already know what we want to know, although it's not detailed enough, but everyone's target tasks have been completed, right?" Qin Yiyi.
"Indeed, Brother Qin, what did you all listen to that guy say? That's the job done? Li Lingxiao asked curiously, he had planned to enter the house together, but Ling Hong pulled him back, saying that firstly, there was not much space in this house, and secondly, he would make trouble if he went in, so in the end, Li Lingxiao couldn't go in.
"Well, he told us a story, a somewhat clichéd oral story, we are going to learn more about the content of this prophecy tomorrow, the new target task has not been updated, we can now hunt some monsters and brush rewards, by the way, the story will be briefly told to you, but the story is really not exciting, it feels like the author made it up on the spot, but this story is indeed inextricably linked to the disasters of this world......"
Qin Yi said and glanced at the huge moon above his head, he had originally planned to ask Wilson about this moon at the end, but then Wilson mentioned the prophet, he thought about it and felt that Wilson should not be able to say why, so he decided not to ask him first, and then find out about the prophet.
