Chapter 12: Images of the Earth
He Xiaoxi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xiao Chen's words. She didn't know what the origin of the gods meant. Because in her memory, it seems that at the beginning of everything, she was a god, and at that time things seemed chaotic, and she knew that she had several partners, and the strength might be strong and weak, but they were the same essence as her.
When they first existed in this world, they were like ghosts floating in the air. At that time, there were many things in the world, mountains, rivers, trees, animals, all of which were no different from the world now. Of course, there were people, and when she saw them, she felt an instinctive affinity, and loved to watch them hunt, gather, farm, graze, and build, and of course, war, and from the very beginning, humans would fight and kill each other for a piece of land for a river, or some population.
But no matter what humans are doing, the gods are interested. They will even interfere in the human world because of fun and boredom, like He Xiaoxi, and sometimes help some people. Her grumpy or wicked companions would mistreat them, set fire to human food, blow off their roofs when the wind blows, and even take pleasure in killing them.
When the human beings noticed this great power, they worshipped them in fear. They were even offered various sacrifices, such as food, livestock, wine, or women, which they burned or killed. May it be forgiven and blessed by these powerful beings.
This kind of interaction is more interesting than just troublemaking, so the gods are more actively involved in human affairs, after all, thousands of years of life are too boring.
They sometimes join the war, helping to sacrifice more tribes to win the final victory. Their power was so strong that those people called them gods. People began to worship them, praying and supplicating them even when nothing happened, and these people slowly formed an organization. They are portrayed in various images and names, and they are enshrined.
Later, I don't know who proposed, everyone felt that they could change from that fluttering nothingness into the shape of a human, so He Xiaoxi also chose to become a human, and they found a strange thing, although they can become all kinds of people. But every god has an appearance, which is the most natural and convenient appearance, and once they want to be human, the first transfiguration becomes this form.
He Xiaoxi became the appearance of a girl. Their dress was also incompatible with the human beings at that time, and they designed their own clothes according to a certain sense of darkness, and the style was much more luxurious than the rough clothes of humans, and both gods and humans thought that gods should be different from human beings, so no one cared about this.
After taking on the form of humans, they became more closely associated with humans. Not only can they watch the evolution of the human world from above, but they can also participate in various things as participants.
There will always be some interesting people among the human beings, and the gods have found that although these people are weak and short-lived, they can still learn a lot from them, and the human beings have begun to understand the methods of manipulating the energy of heaven and earth from the innate abilities of their gods. In this way, human beings and them coexist in a mutually reinforcing relationship.
He Xiaoxi is very different from other gods who are keen to have various connections with humans, she neither recruits those worshippers, nor does she show her power among humans, most of the time she is either alone somewhere, or she takes the form of a maiden, living a dull life among humans.
As a result, she does not have a grand temple or a denomination, but only recruits a few people to be her priests when needed.
In this way, she is much weaker than those gods who constantly use their divine powers.
Humans have always worshiped and attached themselves to the strong, so gradually fewer and fewer people know about her, and even the gods have forgotten her many times.
Until one day, the relationship within the gods changed dramatically, and He Xiaoxi, who was far away from the circle of the gods, survived because of it. Then He Xiaoxi began to hide and hide.
One day, she meets the people who have crossed in, and their descendants, and she suddenly notices a strange familiarity to them. This feeling goes back a long, long time, but it's vague and hard to remember.
What Xiao Chen said to her today made her feel in her heart, and she said, "Did you find out that there is some kind of connection between me and you?"
"You'll find out with me. Xiao Chen took He Xiaoxi to a warehouse-like house, from the outside, this house seemed to have only one floor, but the height of this floor was worth a three-story building.
Xiao Chen said: "Push open this door, keep walking inside, after you go in, you will see some images, I don't know how you will feel after seeing them, but please remember to control your strength." ”
"Will you go in with me?" He Xiaoxi asked.
Xiao Chen said: "Of course, we will follow you in, as long as you need it." ”
He Xiaoxi was a little nervous, and her origin had been bothering her for many, many years.
Who am I? This is the ultimate question for many people. This is especially true for the gods whose lives are endless.
However, when it really came time to uncover this secret, it made people feel sincerely nervous.
He Xiaoxi's hand was on the doorknob, and this well-informed god hesitated at this time.
Liu Yisheng could understand her mood and comforted: "You told me a long time ago, because you don't have your earliest memory, you always feel that life is incomplete, and now this opportunity is in front of you, go ahead." ”
He Xiaoxi nodded and pushed open the door in front of him.
She had already felt the magic of a large gathering outside the door, and when she walked into the storeroom, he saw huge light curtains hanging from both sides of the pitch-black room. On the light curtain are images one by one, and on the color images are scenes from another world.
He Xiaoxi and Liu Yisheng have been together for so many years, so they have naturally seen a lot of materials, books, and even movies about Xiao Chen's world. The scenery of that world was not unfamiliar to her, but although there were many high-rise buildings and natural landscapes in that world, it didn't touch her much. Because after all, they are separated from their own world by a barrier that they don't know how to cross, and they have nothing to do with the things around her.
But now the things depicted on those images made her heart beat faster.
