Although he begins with a very positive tone and a vicious description of his former tribe, Fioni begins with a rather calm voice. His expression softened, and the shapeshifter at this time gave the impression that he was no longer him, but a bystander who had stepped out of the worldly position, starting from a distant place to tell what he saw.

The name Lietao did not exist at first. Unlike shark teeth, the Raging Waves Sirens did not have a definite belief in ancient times. They are the natives of the seas, and have been here for longer than the shark-toothed krakens who came here after chasing their prey. Interestingly, when the shark teeth arrived in an area that had not yet been labeled by humans as the Bay of the Heartless, the scorching waves did not drive them away. The reason is simple, because the sea is rich enough to support two Kraken colonies. Especially when the Sharktooth tribe has a great reverence for nature.

As outsiders, the believers of the Shark Father quickly integrated into the land, they got along well with the ancestors of the Burning Waves Siren, and the two themselves were the same species, so the Shark Tooth naturally thought that they had come with a mission to spread the faith of the Shark Father, to let these ignorant compatriots embark on the path of hunters. The ancestors of the Lietao also had this idea, and they were willing to accept the technology and beliefs brought by their foreign kindreds, which is why there was a song of the two Siren races of the same origin. Gradually, however, there was a difference between the two sources of water from different rivers.

Faith is something that is difficult to illustrate in a simple word. It's different from technology, it's different from lifestyle, and if you want to put it, it's somewhat similar to love. So when faith and love are mixed together, problems arise. A scorching wave falls in love with a shark tooth. This is a good thing, for the two races who have become accustomed to each other's existence, a marriage can make their relationship closer, not to mention that all the shark teeth are loyal believers of the shark father, if they are together, the shark father's faith will flow more smoothly into the hot waves.

But things are unpredictable. In the Sharktooth faith, a marriage proposal is subject to a certificate and the suitor must hunt a sea beast alone and bring it to the proposed, both men and women. That scorching wave, dead under the fangs of the sea beast, with a longing for a better life, in the gaze of his lover and his clansmen, because he prematurely thought that he was in control of the victory and underestimated the prey that was struggling with death. So the god of the hunt ceased to favor him. This failed marriage is regrettable but acceptable in the eyes of Sharktooth, and they have long been accustomed to such victims in their history, and the weak are not qualified to leave offspring, and certainly not to have a spouse. But this is another thing in Lietao's opinion.

They gradually realize that although they are both krakens, the name of shark tooth is not their name. What follows is a series of conflicts from small to large, with the two tribes sometimes harmonious, sometimes hostile, sometimes indifferent, sometimes eager. This has to do with the leader of the ruling clan at the time. But in the end, such history ended in the hands of the priest who was the first to receive the revelation of the Lady of the Tides. Since then, the Sirens have had their own beliefs, their own shrines, their own rules.

"Daughter of the Full Moon, that's what the Mighty Sirens called their first High Priest. It is said that this priest received a revelation from the Tide Lady in the raging tides of the night of the full moon. Fioni said and looked overhead, above the coral forest, the sun cast on the sea was shaking with the surging wind and waves, "The priesthood of the Tides Lady is not only for women, but he seems to favor women. Throughout the history of the Rising Waves, there have been only a handful of male priests, and even fewer have been appointed as high priests as men. ”

Since the Lady of the Full Moon announced the existence of Lady Tides and His will, there have been more than thirty changes of chief priests between the current chief priest. Thanks to the preservation of religion for each generation of leaders, Fioni could rely on these accounts to trace the origins of the belief in the Mighty Waves. At the same time, he also perceived something changing in his study of history.

That is the belief in the Lady of the Tides. It's not that the Lietao have changed the shrine they believe in, they only believe in this one goddess from beginning to end, yes. However, there were significant changes in the sacrifice to the goddess and the dogmas and rituals used to worship the lady. And this change is the main reason that spurred Fioni to awaken from the identity of a scorching sea monster.

"The first human sacrifice ever came from the ninth high priest, who happened to be a man. Fioni's expression became serious, not as calm and relaxed as he had told before, "The reason for the sacrifice was that a prisoner had committed a felony, most likely related to blasphemy. Then the sea was plagued by a plague that lasted for several years, with a large number of fish dying and dark yellow waters rising from the depths of the abyss, and anyone who came into contact with it was either killed or maimed. Now think about it, in your human terms, it should have been a catastrophe caused by the eruption of an undersea volcano. But whatever the truth of the calamity is, the source of the calamity points to the prisoner. So the high priest made an unprecedented decision, and on the day of the full moon, he put the prisoner to death. It was not an ordinary death sentence, he tied the prisoner to a whole flat rock, slit his chest with a stone knife in the shallow sea that could be illuminated by the moonlight, and offered his still beating heart to the goddess. ”

So the plague subsided. It doesn't matter if it's wrong or wrong, or if it's crooked, it doesn't matter if it's really the hope of the tide lady. A precedent has been opened, and sludge has overflowed from the abyss. Since then, human sacrifice has been seen as the most direct means of appeasing the wrath of the gods or pleasing the gods. In the beginning, only sinners were sacrificed, and they atoned for their sins with death, although the means were cruel, but it was plausible. But then, things began to get out of hand, and I don't know when it became an honor to be sacrificed to the goddess, at least in the eyes of the priests.

Sacrifices, sacrifices, more and more sacrifices, more and more sacrifices. People think that the fierceness of the waves comes from their indomitable momentum towards the tide. But in such a state, the fierceness of the scorching waves turned into an evil fire that burned more and more. The priests sacrificed in the name of the goddess, and their creatures ranged from krakens to humans, and the Lady of the Tides, perhaps a cruel god, or she didn't know what kind of state her followers were in. He accepted these sacrifices and gave them the approval of the priests.

"I have seen a sacrifice with my own eyes, where the sacrifices tied to the altar are laughing, the priests with stone knives are laughing, and a voice from the tide is laughing. They called this the sacrifice, the trinity of priesthood and sacrifice. But all I saw was a group of children addicted to violence and guardians encouraging them to continue their atrocities. The shapeshifter's tone was heavier than ever, the sacrifice in his mouth was a nightmare that was destined to haunt him for the rest of his life, "I thought that kind of sacrifice wouldn't take too long, I was wrong. They sacrifice to the full moon, the eclipse of the moon, and every state of the moon can be the reason for their sacrifice. Back in their alliance with the witches, they would have planned to lure some ships to the reef and sink them, capturing the crew as sacrifices, and the great witches were either unaware or acquiesced in the proportions of this sacrifice. And when I went back this time, I was sure of one thing, the bloodbath of shark teeth was also a sacrifice. They have gone mad, from top to bottom, from old to young. The believers drove the goddess mad, and the goddess turned back and gave the believers madness! They must be destroyed. ”
