It began with a burst of intense dizziness accompanied by tinnitus, followed by a stirring sensation of withdrawal, and the cat felt as if it was being sucked into a fierce vortex of optical flow, its consciousness and body being rubbed and torn by an invisible force.

After recovering from the discomfort and concussions, she came to a strange place.

The ground here is made up of patches of smooth glass, and on the mirror-like floor, Catgrass sees her own childish wide-open, slightly startled face, and slightly shaky cat ears in her black hair.

On the ground of glazed condensation, there is a long straight road paved with gold, extending all the way forward.

Catgrass stands on this golden straight. In front of her were a number of travelers, almost all of whom covered their faces with hats or shirts, most of them giving the cat grass the impression of danger.

At the far ends of both sides of the road, there are palaces and pavilions in the shape of a lake, which are hidden in the clouds, full of brilliance and halos.

In the sky, the clouds are also golden, and from time to time you can see some kind of large white flowers shuttling through the clouds.

Catgrass looked left and right and found that Totoro was behind her, so she breathed a sigh of relief and touched Totoro's soft belly with her hand.

She said to herself, "It's good that you didn't get lost." ”

Blood Demon Totoro's pair of cat's eyes swept left and right: "Glazed Land, Golden Road, Seven Treasure Building...... Hey, I seem to have an impression of this place when I was alive. ”

The big cat scratched its head with its paws, and after meditating for a while, he opened his eyes and grinned: "Remember, this is the glazed country of the Western Elysium, and it is the area where Amitabha Buddha is open to the public." ”

Before going out, Cat Grass received many instructions from the Apostle Yin Sabel. But all she knew was that this was the world controlled by the Lord God, and it was a transit point before entering the destination.

What kind of place the Western Elysium is, she has no idea at all.

Maocao was a little curious: "Have you been here?" ”

"Of course."

My Neighbor Totoro smiled, "Many years ago, I was sent by Lord Yinglong to a kingdom of God to negotiate with the local apostles and bring in some flowers from them. ”

"Specifically for you to go to another kingdom of God, just to pick flowers?" Catgrass was stunned.

"Don't underestimate it, collecting the right flowers and plants is a very advanced job in itself."

Totoro hugged his chest with his paws: "It is necessary to consider the environment of the transplanted world, whether it is rainy or arid, whether there are more hills and mountains or more plains and forests. A tasteful and superior kingdom of God, high-quality and diverse flowers and plants are indispensable. ”

"So you used to do this......"

"What do you mean by doing this? I used to be an apostle in charge of procurement. ”

My Neighbor Totoro emphasized: "This is a position that cannot be held by non-cronies. ”

Mao Cao glanced at the unfamiliar environment around her: "You still talk about Western Elysium." ”

"Well, this is part of the Amitabha Buddha's divine kingdom, and the place where we are located under our feet is precisely the "Glass Country" among the seven countries of the world, also known as Vedic Glass."

My Neighbor Totoro said slowly: "The Seven Kingdoms are the Kingdom of Gold, the Country of Silver, the Country of Glass, the Country of Coral Trees, the Kingdom of Tridas, the Country of Red Pearls, and the Country of Agate. ”

"The other six countries are all inaccessible places, they are the self-world of the Western Elysium, with the exception of the Glass Country. Liuli is also called five-color stone, representing clarity and clarity, and the glass country is also a place to temper the will and soul, so it is open to the outside world, and the body is like glass with thousands of gods. ”

"This place is open to the public, but it is actually to hone the local believers. The members of the kingdom of God who come and go are intricately intricately divided, which is a kind of tempering and testing for local believers. ”

Mao Cao suddenly: "It's like the army of war cats, it will retain some of the blood clans in the jurisdiction and use them to hone its combat power, right?" ”

"Almost."

My Neighbor Totoro turned his head: "The Liuli Kingdom is open to the outside world, and Amitabha Buddha has never interfered, and then it has slowly become a transit world." The other emissaries of the kingdom of God were also accustomed to this circumstance. ”

"See? Those who don't have hair are natives. ”

The Blood Demon Totoro raised his broad paws and pointed diagonally ahead of the group.

Catgrass followed its guidance.

There was a bunch of weirdos lined up. They had shaved their hair, their heads bare, and they were dressed in long gray robes, with rosaries around their necks, their hands folded, and words in their mouths.

"Those are bhikshus, who are also male devotees of Amitabha Buddha, and female devotees are called bhikshunis. I don't know if I have changed my name now. My Neighbor Totoro said casually.

Catgrass is both curious and wary.

The group of monks said something to a two-headed man who had stopped in front of the Qibao building, and the two-headed man shook his head and waved his hand.

Maocao whispered: "We have few people, and we are too disadvantaged here." I knew that I would like to ask Miss Yin Sabel to let us bring more people over, and we can also spread the belief of Yao God here......"

"Summoner, you should be clear, we are foreigners, and it is best not to mess around on other people's territory."

My Neighbor Totoro bared his teeth and said, "This time the destination is the Sleepless Civilization, my summoner." ”

Catgrass nodded: "How are we going to meet that apostle Appiah?" We have no idea what she looks like, how did you connect with each other before? ”

"Don't worry, we're here by teleportation scroll, just follow the traveler in front, and someone will answer you at the front."

My neighbor totoro touched the cat's whiskers, and his face was determined.

Catgrass walked along the Golden Road party, to the front and crossed an extremely high threshold, where a large crowd of people were waiting.

At this time, a man came up.

"Cat Grass Prophet?"

She was greeted by a woman in a white robe, her hands and feet obscured by a wide robe.

She wore a white gauze headdress, her face was frighteningly white, and under a pair of sleepy eyes, her eye sockets were deep-set, but the smile on her face looked a little terrifying.

"I am Appiah, who was ordered to come and fetch you, and this is ...... My Neighbor Totoro? ”

The other person introduces himself.

Catgrass asked, "Where are you Appia?" ”

Woman: "I am the apostle of the noble [Messenger of the Gods] and the subordinate god [Martyr] of the Lord, and I have been ordered by the gods to welcome the two who are going to the [Sleepless Civilization]. I don't know this answer, are you relieved? ”

"Please forgive me for any offense, it's a mission from the gods, and I must make sure it's correct." ”

"Understood. Please come with me. ”

Appia took the catgrass and went all the way out, and arrived at a glass wall.

She raised her hand and gently slapped it against the wall, revealing a palm with only bones left, and the halo on the glass wall suddenly rippled.

"The portal has been opened, please come in."

Appia was the first to step into the wall of light, and Catgrass and Totoro were on their heels.

……

Arrive in the civilized world of the Sleepless.

Cat grass looked around.

There are vast expanses of scorched earth, many places as if they had been hit by volcanic eruptions, the ground has accumulated a lot of ash, and the trees are withering and dying in patches.

The whole world is in the twilight, and the most common living creatures are walking skeletons. They are clumsy and mechanical, mostly wobbly, and even fall and get stuck in rocks, so stupid that Catgrass is surprised.

Appia, who was next to him, said, "Catgrass Prophet, the civilization of the Sleepless is based on the previously destroyed agrarian civilization, which was briefly glorious in the past. ”

"That farming civilization is called the [Giant Beast Civilization], and the people of the last era were good at domesticating giant beasts, and through continuous interbreeding and the use of various foods and medicines, they turned them into more powerful warriors and domestic animals."

"They've bred incredible monsters, and those giant beasts are remarkable in the Transcendent Realm, but it's a pity that they've broken free from the shackles and whips of the Beast Tamers...... The situation has become very tricky. ”

Catgrass had a picture of the giant beast destroying the village and the city.

"Lord Martyr saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and that continuing would only consume all kinds of resources in the world, so he applied for the destruction of the world. With the consent of the Messenger of the Gods, the Martyr wiped out the failed civilization with a fireball from the sky. ”

"Then, the Messenger of the Gods placed the [White Bone Mound], starting a new round of civilization and allowing the White Bone Ancestors to gradually recover......"

Appia smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Because it is a very young civilization, everything is in its infancy, and the environment is relatively simple, please bear with me." ”

Catgrass was stunned when she heard this.

Here, the gods themselves destroyed the civilization she had created and sheltered...... This reminds it of the traditions of the war cat clan in the past.

War cats don't believe in gods, because gods don't trust war cats either.

"Why destroy the giant beast civilization, isn't there still a chance to save and redeem it?" Catgrass doesn't understand.

"Uh......"

Appia showed a puzzled expression: "Civilization is such a thing, if it has declined or there is no room for growth, of course, it is best to destroy it directly, and the usable wonders will be kept or put on the shelves for sale." ”

"Why don't we re-breed a new civilization, maybe there will be surprises? Anyway, as long as the gods are willing, new civilizations can always be born. It's a waste of energy and faith to save them, it's costly and the rewards are low......"

Appia suddenly understood something, and an envious expression appeared on his face: "It seems that the civilization you are in has been going on very well, and it is worthy of being a high-level civilization under the rule of the Voyager." We can't compare with you here. ”

Catgrass pursed her lips.

No.

Yaojin-sama is a great god who is trying to resurrect even the destroyed world.

Our gods are different.

So, is there really something to learn here?

Cat Grass was full of doubts.
