Nothing can stop time, except for endless static eternity.

As the days passed, the moss began to wither in large areas, and the time was approaching late autumn.

At this time, the sound of pounding stones in the tribe did not stop, and all the adult golden people were still under the requirements of the Wind King's decree, and they were stepping up the construction of huge idol groups along the mountain wall.

Led by Muller, members of the family of gods are watching the progress of the construction from above the mountain wall.

Feeling the increasingly cold weather, the second brother looked at Mueller and asked worriedly:

"King, autumn is more than half over, and winter is coming.

This year's hunting season has not yet begun, and if it continues like this, it will be very difficult to survive the winter with only the food available. ”

"I don't think the idol should be rebuilt next spring, and it is most important to survive the harsh winter now."

When Mueller heard this, he replied calmly:

"Well, I see, since the food is barely enough, let's put this year's hunting season on hold.

Passed down so that everyone could not stop working, and the construction of the idol would continue until the snow fell. ”

Hearing Mueller's words, the second brother's face showed an expression of disbelief, he didn't expect the other party to be so aggressive.

There isn't enough food to keep going on like this, and a lot of people will definitely die this year.

However, the family members, including the second brother, did not refute, and now as the Wind King, Muller is stronger than their father Von Gues in terms of strength and status, and they have lost all their confidence in the face of such a peak king who has killed his brother.

And in addition to the brothers of the same generation as Müller in the family, there was one other person.

That's right, it's Alain, who was chosen as the next heir, and he also couldn't accept Müller's decision.

After the others had gone, he plucked up his courage and asked:

"Father, do you know that without food for the winter, many people will lose their lives?"

"yes, I know."

"In that case, then why would you end the hunting season and tie everyone here to chisel stones?"

In the face of his son's questioning, Mueller did not get angry, but patted the other party's shoulder affectionately and responded:

"Alain, it's good that you can have your own ideas, it's a very important quality to be a king."

"But before I answer that question, do you know how much food a person needs to consume in a day?"

As he spoke, Müller pointed to the people who were digging stones at his feet, and asked:

"How much do you know about how much food 100,000 people need to survive the winter?"

In the face of Muller's rhetorical question, Alain was speechless for a while, and he really had no idea about the specific amount.

"Alain, I have taken over the clan since your grandfather was alive, and after so many years, I know better than anyone what kind of astronomical amount it is."

"Over the years, everyone has only seen a rapid increase in the number of ethnic groups, almost tenfold compared to the previous dynasty, but no one has seen what this has been exchanged for."

"It was I who led the members of the God Family to hunt day and night during the annual hunting season, and finally brought prosperity to the Golden Family."

"However, this prosperity is only an illusory bubble after all.

Over the years, I have found myself on the wrong path.

No matter how hard I try to lead my family members through the hunting season, I can't fill the food needs of a rapidly growing population. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that last year's hunting season had yielded more harvests than usual, the winter famine would have come a long time ago."

"Alain, although we in the Vongus family are known as gods, we are not omnipotent like the Lord.

My family and I have reached the limit, and sooner or later this extra population will have to be spit out.

Since famine is inevitable, it is better to let the doomed people play a final role before winter comes, and to make room for the new people who will be born next spring. ”

Although Mueller's words made sense, Alain could not accept such an outcome.

He felt the other party's cold-bloodedness between the words, this was not the words of the father he respected in his heart, let alone the Wind King, who was loved by his subjects.

Seeing that Alain seemed unacceptable, Mueller sighed and said helplessly:

"I didn't want to do that, but I had to hide my original thoughts, because the reality is so cruel.

From the moment I sat on the throne, I was no longer me, and the world did not need me.

If you want to be yourself on the throne, you will definitely be hit by the most ruthless blow in this world.

Alain, you are the one who is destined to be king, and I hope you will understand that.

Think about it, kid. ”

With that, Müller left the place alone.

At this point, Alain's mind was a mess, and he didn't know what to do.

In a daze, he walked all the way into the mushroom forest.

Although he had almost died in this place, now that he had awakened his elemental powers, he realized that he didn't hesitate too much when he walked in.

Alain made his way deep into the mushroom forest, returning to the place with crystal mushrooms from memory.

He leaned down and picked a crystal mushroom near the crack in the stone, and put it in his mouth.

The intoxicating aroma spread in his mouth, which also calmed his chaotic mind a lot.

Just as he enjoyed a moment of peace, a voice broke the silence.

"The little ghost of the Vongers family, didn't I tell you that this kind of place should let you come less, it seems that you haven't learned the previous lesson."

Hearing this, Alain hurriedly looked behind him.

I saw that an old man with a white beard and a strange lightning strike pattern on his face was standing not far away looking at him.

That's right, the other party is the mysterious old man who rescued him from Shekou last time.

Seeing this, Alain responded directly with a smile:

"Don't worry about me, uncle, I've awakened the elemental power and can take care of myself."

With that, he gathered the water element together and showed it to the other party.

"Oh, that's old man, I'm nosy."

Seeing that the other party was about to leave again, he hurriedly asked curiously:

"Uncle, thank you for saving me last time, can you tell me where you came from."

"Hehe, I'm just a bad old man who has done something wrong and has been waiting to die.

Unfortunately, the Lord was unwilling to let me die to atone for my sins, so I have survived until today. ”

When Alan heard this, he unconsciously remembered his father, and he hurriedly asked:

"Does the Lord really personally punish those who do wrong, someone once told me that the Lord doesn't care about these things at all, and His gaze doesn't stay on you and me for long."

"Little ghost, you're right, the Lord may not be watching us all the time.

The Lord created all things as the beginning of everything, but He didn't care about the passage, not even the outcome.

Because the final result has always been in the hands of the Lord, who is the beginning and the end. ”

"It is the most foolish of all to think that you have escaped the Lord's gaze and to rejoice because of it.

Because the outcome of life is predestined from the moment the Lord created us. ”
