Chapter 8: The Gods
The gods who have just been born are often very weak, except for the strong ones who draw on their beliefs and thus become gods, the rest of the gods born from faith need to rely on faith to maintain their own existence, and their strength will also increase with the increase in the number of believers, this kind of gods are collectively called pseudo-gods.
False gods want to get rid of the constraints of faith, and only through their own priesthood can they comprehend the corresponding laws to get rid of the shackles. Otherwise, it can only be forever bound by faith, and in the future, Suwako's strength will drop greatly because of the sharp decline in believers, and in the end, it will not even be able to maintain its own form, which shows that although the pseudo-god has supreme authority, the same shortcomings are also obvious.
There is a similar phenomenon among the same monsters, there are those who generate their own spiritual intelligence and then cultivate step by step to become monsters, and there are also many monsters born because of human fear, and the latter must rely on human fear to survive. This is also the main reason for the establishment of Gensokyo in the future - in order to maintain the existence of most of the yokai in an era when humans have lost their fear.
"Suwako, a powerful god who will be in charge of the land, mountains, and harvests in the future, has almost unified the entire country in the mythological era. But in the end, it was destroyed by Yaban Kanako, but even so, the two still worked together to create the Moriya Shrine and secretly control the faith, and they are quite powerful gods......"
Ye Yu recalled the information of the greedy little girl in front of him in his heart, "But now it seems that she has only been born for a long time, and she looks so weak......" Ye Yu estimated Suwako's current strength in his heart, "Looking at the surrounding rice fields, it seems that the harvest priesthood has been mastered, but it is only preliminary." After all, this is a tribe of only 4,000 people. ”
If a god wants to be strong, he needs faith, and 4,000 people are obviously not enough for Suwako to give birth to any powerful divine power, and besides, the current vast and sparsely populated land cannot find a target even if he wants to launch a divine war. Therefore, Suwako can only wait for the human race in this tribe to multiply and increase the population, which is a long process...... It has been so long that countless gods have fallen because of it, and it is difficult to predict that the slightest accident in the reproduction of a tribe will be devastated, and perhaps a rare snowstorm can reduce the population by 1/3.
Ye Yu estimated that there must be many tribes like this in this land, and the life of the sheltered tribes without gods in this wild world would be extremely difficult, so it can be expected that their respective tribes must also worship gods, but there are only a few that can be passed on to future generations...... This shows how difficult the path of the gods is.
"But it's good news for me." At this point, Ye Yu finally knew where he was at the moment, "Eastern World, is it around the beginning of the mythical world at the end of the wilderness...... It's really an ancient age, and it's still thousands of years before you can play GALGAME. ”
Thinking of this, Ye Yu turned his attention to Suwako's body again, this future powerful god is just a little guy who has just been born and doesn't even have any tribute, and at the moment he is struggling with whether to hand over the tribute he has just received in exchange for a possible delicious meal.
Looking at her tangled little appearance, Ye Yu smiled, took out the fierce beast she had hunted before from the space she was carrying, and started the barbecue on the spot.
Soon, under Ye Yu's master-level barbecue skills, the repeated aromas wafted out, coupled with the various seasonings that still exist in this world, and suddenly attracted such a delicious Suwako that he had never seen before. The little guy swallowed his saliva and subconsciously leaned in this way. Although the gods instinctively told her that it was not okay, in front of the food, it was all floating clouds......
"Do you want to eat?" Soon the meat was roasted, Ye Yu took the meat skewer and turned his head to Suwako and said with a smile, but how did he look like a strange Shu millet who was kidnapping Lori.
"No...... I ......" The eyes of the newborn god wandered over the roast meat and the heart of the beast in her hand, she was still very simple when she was born, and the food in her hand was her most precious treasure, but it seemed that the things in the other party's hand were also very good...... The girl hesitated.
"By the way, what's your name?" Ye Yu suddenly changed the subject.
"Leak...... Suwako Fuya. Although I don't know how he saw himself when he wasn't a god, but since he could meet and communicate, he thought it was the same level of existence, and this time Suwako didn't hesitate to tell Ye Yu his name.
"Suwako, ah......" Although Ye Yu had already guessed the identity of the other party, it was still a good thing to be confirmed, "My name is Ye Yu, remember it!" We are friends after informing each other of our names, as friends...... Well, I'm giving you this as if I invited you. ”
As she spoke, Ye Yu stuffed the barbecue in her hand into the hand of Suwako, who was still a little unresponsive, she was completely stunned at this time, looking at the barbecue in her hand, she didn't know what to do.
"Friend...... Friends! Even if she didn't understand the meaning of the word friend very clearly, after saying it twice, Suwako felt that she liked the word very much, and she couldn't help but be happy. She followed Ye Yu's example and stuffed the beast heart in her hand into his hand, "This is what I gave you, give it to you!" ”
Ye Yu felt that this god was really simple and cute, he raised his hand and touched Suwako's big hat, and the other party did not refuse but narrowed his eyes like a kitten.
The gods are all lonely, mortals can't see their existence, the weak monsters are regarded as enemies by their contempt for the powerful monsters, even the same gods can't be interdependent, and the battle of faith between the gods is a high wall that they can never overcome, so the word friend is too luxurious for the gods.
It's the same with Suwako, from the beginning of her birth until now, Ye Yu is the first person who can communicate with her, even if the believers are religious, they are just believers, and even the gods can't look at them directly, how can they always accompany the gods.
"Suwako, isn't it really uncomfortable to eat so much?" Ye Yu now regrets taking out the barbecue meat to tempt this god, she has not stopped since she ate the first bite until now, in order to feed this big-stomached loli, he not only donated his prey today, but even the heart that Suwako stuffed into him did not keep......
"Not at all!" Suwako, who was eating with a mouth full of oil, still has the majesty of a god, and raised her head like a fledgling waiting to be fed, "Haye, Yeye, I still want to eat......"
"Even if you want to eat, you don't have anything left." Ye Yu reached out angrily and funnily and pinched her face, "You can eat such a big one......"
"But...... It's so delicious......" The little guy lowered his head a little shyly, "It's a big deal, I'll eat less next time......"
"You want another time!" Ye Yu sighed heavily, the barbecue started at noon and now it's dark, Ye Yu said that he didn't want to do this again, "It's really going back, and if you don't go away, you'll have to worry." I haven't been out for so long......"
"Huh?!" Hearing that Ye Yu was going to leave, Suwako was in a hurry, and ran over to hug his arm, "Don't go, it's a big deal...... I'll never eat like this again......"
The reluctance in the girl's eyes made Ye Yu's heart tremble, and he reached out and touched Suwako's hat to say something, but at this moment, a large fire suddenly ignited in the direction of the Terran tribe......
