Chapter 42: Change
Xiaohua's feelings at the beginning made Shuzi think that she saw the hope of going back.
Now, however, Shuzi found that when she said this, the whole person was calm.
The move to leave the family and enter the temple was indeed not because of others, nor out of emotion, but a calm choice.
So, Shuzi finally despaired.
God sent Xiaohua back, and Xiaohua went away because of God.
Perhaps he should not have prayed for the resurrection of the dead.
Miracles come at a price.
Shuzi was depressed for many days, but he couldn't help but do things in the clan, and in the end, under pressure, he could only pack up his mood and get busy again.
The eagle continued to be handed over to the eldest lady of the clan to help with the management.
Time moves forward like an arrow from which there is no turning back.
The two, who were originally husband and wife, drifted apart.
Holding a divine bow, Shuzi led his people to expand the territory, conquer the ape tribe, and then, either absorb, or kill and plunder, merge the ape tribe into the territory of the human race.
On the other hand, as a supplement to this bloody conquest, Xiaohua, as the ancestor of the great god and the main witch, led the sorcerers to various places to build new temples and altars, and spread this extremely primitive, but most effective faith.
The human race has a very strong ability to reproduce, and it only takes more than ten years to reproduce a generation, not to mention, there is also the continuous merger of the ape race, and under intermarriage, new bloodlines continue to join the human race. The dominant genes replace the inferior genes, and the population and territory of the human race are getting bigger and bigger.
With the expansion of the territory of the human race, it gradually invaded the territory of many vicious beasts.
So Shuzi also had to lead people to protect his people.
In this process, the alien ape-man, and the original human race, can be regarded as the same enemy, and gradually develop feelings.
Over the years, former prisoners of war and women who had been plundered as wealth gradually integrated into the human race.
Shuzi didn't have a spouse for nearly a decade, but as he got older, he finally stopped holding on.
At the age of 40, he accepted a beautiful girl stuffed to him by his subordinates.
At the age of 46, he already had three wives in his house, which was in line with his status as a patriarch. All the elders were satisfied.
As a result of years of conquest and plunder, the Terrans now have far more women than men. Whereas, men have an advantage when it comes to fighting.
Therefore, in terms of marriage, there is an extreme imbalance.
Many men had multiple wives, and many of them were plundered ape-women.
By the time Shuzi was 67 years old, the Terran territory had roughly expanded into a diamond shape that sloped slightly to the right.
In the diamond-shaped south, it is the legendary place of origin of the human race, and it is also the abyss of sin that can never be returned.
Anyone who dares to approach the place called "The Boundary" will disappear completely.
It is precisely because of the deterrent power of the "Terra" that the Terrans do not even have the courage to bypass this place and go further south.
To the west of the diamond, it is close to the most dangerous part of the world, the Great Wilderness.
The Great Wilderness is a general term for a large area in the west, with varied terrain and complex environments. In the Great Wilderness, there are many fierce beasts, and even intelligent monsters live here.
Ordinary human races dare not approach at all.
To the east of the diamond-shaped is an endless ocean, which is called the green sea by the Terrans, because the sea is green.
Terrans only have the ability to craft vehicles to cross small rivers, and they are powerless against the vastness of the sea.
Only to the north, there is only a mountain range, as long as you climb over the mountains that the Terrans call the Tianyun Mountains, you can continue to expand outward.
In fact, if you look at the satellite map, this green planet in the green world has three large continents, the continent inhabited by the human race is the largest, and now the human race has only set foot on one-fifth of the area of this continent, and in many other places, there are also lush vegetation, and suitable living environment, and there are also ape-man groups inhabited.
All of these are waiting to be explored by the Terrans.
Now, the Terrans, who do not have the ability to sail far, do not even have the concept of a continent.
Their field of vision is still very narrow.
The 67-year-old Shuzi is already very old, but he still holds the power in his hands.
Even, in the year when Shuzi was 59 years old, in order to eliminate hidden dangers in the clan, he also launched a liquidation and led his men to kill the dog tail that had been following him.
Just because he thinks Dogtail is ambitious and smart enough.
Dogtail's death somewhat frightened the others who coveted the position of patriarch, and Shuzi showed people his ruthlessness and force.
After all, the bow was still in his hands.
For many years, the tree has never let the divine bow leave his body, this is his dependence, and it cannot be taken away by anyone.
However, his years of fighting career have left him with a lot of root causes, not to mention the pain in his shoulders and back on rainy days, and sometimes he will be flustered and short of breath, and he has to breathe for a while to relieve his breath.
However, he was the head of a clan, and even as the Terrans grew larger and more difficult to manage, he still managed to maintain his power.
Shuzi now has five wives and more than ten children, and can also be regarded as a prosperous person.
He had already hoped that his eldest son, Hawk, would take over his position, but Hawkson didn't seem to be interested.
His other children, on the other hand, were younger and lacked prestige within the clan.
One day, Shuzi had to finish the day's affairs early and leave the hall of the clan meeting.
He walked with a scepter, apparently for the sake of his identity, but in fact to support himself.
Shuzi tried not to let others find out that he was not as healthy as before, but he was indeed out of energy for a long time.
As he passed through a street, the tree heard a jubilant sound from afar.
He looked in that direction, was it a big temple? Why is the temple so lively?
The tree unconsciously walked in the direction of the main temple.
When he was about to reach the temple, he heard a young man say excitedly:
"This is the Great Witch! No wonder others say that she can be called a god who walks on the ground. ”
"Yes, she is so old and still in good spirits, how can ordinary people do it?"
"It's not just good spirits, I don't think there is anyone in our clan who has her majesty!"
Shuzi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, there was no one, wouldn't that also include himself?
He pushed through the crowd in front of him and walked forward.
Passers-by were a little upset at first, but after seeing Shuzi's costume, they all silently retreated to show respect.
Then, Shuzi saw the focal point standing on the steps of the great temple, surrounded by people.
It's a small flower.
Decades passed, and he fought in all directions, fighting for great territory for the Terrans.
And she also traveled all over the world, praying to the gods for the people everywhere, and performing witchcraft and divining good fortune.
Thanks to her efforts, large and small altars and temples were built in the territory of the human race.
She received the title of "Great Witch" and deserved this title.
Xiaohua is often outside and rarely comes back to Fangshan. This is the first time in four years that he has returned to preside over the ceremony.
He kept walking, trying to see better.
Xiaohua is also old, he thought.
The former slender body has now become thin and shriveled, and the face is full of wrinkles, and the little flower has not been able to resist the traces of time.
Although the tree looks much older than the little flower now, the fact that the little flower can't resist the erosion of aging still makes the tree have a little bit of happiness.
The tree gradually approached the small flower in the crowd. He looked at the woman carefully.
This woman's back was slightly bent, but there was an unparalleled momentum that spread from her.
The people next to her all looked at her with a look of reverence.
And, to his disappointment, the woman's eyes still didn't change at all.
Everything seems to have gone back to when she decided to leave her family and enter the temple.
"I found my way." The look on her face when she said this at that time miraculously remains in the memory of the tree.
And now, the expression is exactly the same, as pious and firm as ever.
The tree stared blankly, and suddenly, Xiaohua glanced this way.
She found the tree.
Xiaohua was slightly stunned.
The tree, on the other hand, turned away without hesitation.
This woman's heart has not changed. And people who don't change, it's scary.
The crowd pushed, and the two people moved farther and farther away in the noisy crowd.
They became great Terran leaders, as well as great wizards.
However, they went in the opposite direction and went to two completely different paths.
