Chapter Seventy-Seven: God Hinders the World
"So, I turned to agriculture again, trying to find out the root cause of the development of agriculture in this era."
"I found something very interesting, in fact, the root cause of frequent blood sacrifices is probably because of not having enough to eat."
"Because the crop yields were low, they could not feed too many people, so wars were waged periodically to reduce the surplus population, or to plunder the wealth from other city-states········
The indigenous people are very similar to the Mayan civilization, and the development of agriculture is very primitive.
Before they plough, they look at all the trees, dry them, set them on fire, and turn them into fertilizer such as plant ash, which covers the barren land of the rainforest.
Then it's time to sprinkle the seeds, mostly corn.
Because of the fertility of the soil, each planting is often fallow for one to three years, and in some places up to six years, and then the vegetation is again full of fire.
So don't look at their land, but they don't actually have much to cultivate, and the yield is very low.
When the population multiplied to a certain extent, this primitive agriculture could not provide enough food rations, so war was necessary.
External plunder, the winning side can plunder wealth and even food, and at the same time carry out blood sacrifices, sacrifice captives to the gods, reducing the population.
This creates a terrible cycle: population increase - agricultural technology is low, food production is insufficient - war is waged - population is reduced - population is reduced - after a period of time, the population increases - food is scarce - war is waged··········
"Obviously, the reason for the blood sacrifice is here, and the strange circle that has been going down for thousands of years is very clear."
In the stereoscopic image, wars broke out between the city-states, and people as small as ants fought each other, and after the winner was decided, the victor slaughtered all the captives and sacrificed blood to the gods.
After several wars, only half of the city-states that originally numbered hundreds were left, and the population was greatly reduced, but a large amount of blood, representing the resentment of the slaughtered, seeped into the earth and continued to accumulate.
It's not that sins don't exist, it's just that there is a power on the earth to suppress them, so they can only be accumulated
This cycle is actually a process of accumulation of sin, but the population can never exceed a certain limit, and if this continues, sooner or later no one or god will be overwhelmed by the accumulated resentment······ And so the epoch came to an end. ”
In the evolutionary image, the earth gradually turns into a desert, and the gods have broken out in a divine war, and there are few survivors in the end.
"To get out of this circle, what is needed is the progress of agricultural technology, and only in this way can we feed more people."
"But, you see, how they farmed in the last era, is there a significant improvement compared to what they want now?"
As a native deity, Enis naturally knows more about the secrets.
This Lori goddess, dressed in a hunting suit of animal skins, was thoughtful.
Listening to Lin Zhengyang's question, she shook her head:
"That's how they farmed in the last era, and it's the same in this era, without any progress."
Lin Zhengyang stretched out his hand and asked with a smile:
"What is holding back the development of agriculture and keeping the world in this strange circle?"
At this time, Lin Zhengyang clearly felt the invisible will around him, waiting for an answer.
Lin Zhengyang waited patiently for the local deity to give an answer.
For the instinctive will of this continent, the answers given by outsiders are far less credible than those given by their own children.
As a god with merit, Enis naturally felt the will that surrounded her and kept urging.
She frowned and bit her lip in embarrassment, uneasily, hesitated for a long time, and never dared to give the answer.
Her instinctive premonition as a god was telling her that this was a crucial decision point, about the fate of all people and gods on this road, and all of this depended on the answer she gave to this question.
This is very distressing to God.
Although she is also a sixth-order true god, she has always kept a low profile, just silently fulfilling her duties.
Even after the end of the previous era, when the god-king announced the convening of a meeting of the gods, she, as the six surviving gods, did not express any opinion.
Originally, she was not a character who was good at making decisions.
Suddenly throwing such a big choice to her, she has a choice difficulty.
However, you can't hide after all.
Lin Zhengyang was looking at her, and the will of this continent was constantly urging.
In the spiritual barrier created by the divine power, a light wind has been blowing more than once, and the invisible will surrounding her is encouraging her to speak up bravely······· No, maybe it's a verdict.
'If I had known, I shouldn't have met this guy·······
Her heart was full of regrets.
Who could have known that a simple meeting would be so noisy that it would alarm the will of the world······
Finally, she gave Lin Zhengyang a sad look, and found that this guy did not have the slightest consciousness of causing trouble, stamped his feet hatefully, gritted his silver teeth, and reluctantly spit out a sentence:
“······· It's a god! ”
"That's right, it's the gods who are holding the world back!"
As soon as these words appeared, both gods suddenly felt something.
In the dark, there are many things that are different, and in a more subtle way, the world is changing.
This unique meeting was witnessed and approved by heaven and earth, and in fact unilaterally reached the condemnation of the god class.
Don't look at this world as a continent now, but before it integrates into the new world, it can still do a lot of things, such as·······
Lin Zhengyang felt that no matter what he did next in this land, everything would go well, while his opponent would have a lower IQ and frequent faint moves.
This is "Heaven and earth are all working together", which is the so-called "destiny in the body", "great luck" and so on, in short, it is invincible for the way of heaven.
"Next, it is the Great Reckoning, only by atoning for the sins, sending the monstrous gods of sins one by one, and venting the sins accumulated in the past few epochs, can we exchange for the recognition of the new world and open a new era."
Whoever stands in the way of the development of the world will be cleaned up without mercy.
Even if it is the gods, who were once the biological children of the world.
Heaven is unkind, and all things are dogs.
A dog is a dog that is tied with grass for sacrifice.
In ancient times, dogs were sacrificed by ordinary people because they could not afford to sacrifice pigs, cows, sheep and other large sacrifices.
With the evolution of social customs, people gradually no longer use real dogs, but use grass to tie a dog shape instead, just like later in worship, the pig's head made of flour is used instead of the real pig's head).
After the dog is done, before it is used for sacrifice, everyone attaches great importance to it, and they dare not touch it casually; When the sacrifice was held, he threw it away.
The world is like this, even the gods who are in charge of the rules of the world and belong to the world's own children will not be particularly favored.
But if anyone really hinders the development of the world, then whoever it is, even the gods who created it, will be kicked out mercilessly.
Eneth looked at him apprehensively, waiting for his advice.
As soon as that sentence came out, she had completely broken with the past, standing on Lin Zhengyang's side, on the world's side, and on the new world's side.
There was no turning back for her.
