Chapter 711: A World Without God

Bayan loves to be with animals.

Whether it is a galloping horse, as light as an antelope that can jump into the sky, a loyal and brave hound that is ready to attack him at any time, or a pack of wolves that bared his teeth at him, or an eagle hovering in the air, Bayan felt a bright and surging vitality.

Draculin is a vast and clear world, and the vast majority of the land is plains. Whether it's hunting, running, flying, or cooking on fires, people are under the sun, open and bright, and the world is home, and everyone has always lived like this and is proud of it.

It was a world where there was no God, and people went their own way.

The Draculins draw their strength from all things. They wore hats with antelope horns, wolf teeth and claws, danced in leopard skins, and made huge capes out of eagle feathers, telling the heroic deeds and virtues of the dead during ceremonies for the dead.

Without God, people could still live, but there are still unexplained and amazing traces of what is thought to have been God's place in the past.

It's hard to explain what happened in the past in this world.

Why God appears and leaves.

Why people haven't been able to hold back on God's footsteps.

Bayan just rode his horse every day, following the bear's trail all the way, and if he could find a bear or wurm, he could wrestle and fight with them to hone his strength and courage.

He exercised day after day, first pushing the stone mill around the tribe ten times every morning, and then riding a horse to find the bears, eating and sleeping well, and his strength grew.

As the strongest young man in the tribe, Bayan is often referred to by the elders.

"If there is a god, Bayan, you will have the power of the god."

"Unfortunately, the gods are gone."

……

Bayan just worked harder to temper his body.

He thought.

Since we need a god, then I have to work harder, and if I can keep being strong, maybe I can become a god.

As for why there is such an idea, Bayan himself can't say clearly.

Degoulin never even passed down the exact deeds of God. Everyone is saying that they are all imaginary gods who can do everything, God can crush a bear with one finger, God can make all the grass eaten by sheep grow immediately, God can make Wurm lie on the ground like a dog and obey......

God is omnipotent.

God is caring and merciful to man.

Man is a child that God has put on the earth, until he grows up here and becomes a heroic warrior and a wise man, and then God will come and take these children and teach them how to become gods, and take them to the grasslands and heavens where God lives.

Although I don't know where these claims come from, everyone is convinced.

When Bayan was twenty-one years old, the sun turned black, as if the sun had lost a layer of skin, and it was like something was covering the sun. Then the sun became two, a golden sun that still shines brightly, and a mysterious black sun.

The black sun always appears, like the shadow of the golden sun.

Its presence has also made many animals on the ground go berserk, becoming more ferocious and powerful.

Some of the people also changed their appearance under the black sun, black lines appeared on their arms, like grass and water, and the same black lines appeared on the corners of their eyes, these people were the strongest warriors of all tribes, and they were recognized and strengthened by the black sun.

This is how the warriors know their name: the Darkside.

They are warriors of the Darks.

Bayan is also one of them.

The Dark Descendants know that the dark day is called the dark sun. When it rises, it gives each of the Descendants more power, and it symbolizes immortality and glorious mythology.

The warriors of each tribe are constantly challenged to see who is the strongest warrior and become the leader of all the Dark.

When the sun rises, it's dueling day.

Bayan is one of the few Dark Descendants who refuses to fight.

He believed that all his strength should be devoted to dealing with those enemies who were really harmful. For example, there are always one or two days of rampaging wolves every month, and there are some weird-looking horror monsters that attack tribes to kill people and devour livestock, and in addition to those unpredictable natural disasters, hurricanes, droughts, and torrential rains.

The people of Degulin always approach each day with optimism, because the world is always facing dangers and threats.

In the past, in the face of all kinds of disasters, people had to endure or move elsewhere to avoid these terrible things that would cause death, hunger and pain.

Bayan believes that the true Darkseed will do monsters and natural disasters!

He threw and killed monsters, he dug frantically into the soil to find underground water sources when the sun rose, he grabbed the ropes of hundreds of sheep alone in the face of hurricanes, he was everywhere, he was not afraid to face anything.

Bayan was scarred by this, and was ridiculed for his stupidity by many of the Dark warriors.

"That's not how power is used, what a fool, that guy."

But standing up again and again to protect the tribe, Bayan never flinched, so that more and more children of the tribe are following him, learning to exercise and hone themselves, so as to do everything to maintain the tribe.

This made it even more difficult for the Darkborn warriors to understand.

"The Darkborn is already completely different from ordinary people, what's the use of doing that? Ordinary people are always fragile and timid! ”

Bayan also had a childhood that needed to be protected.

He had also fallen off his horse, and would have died if he hadn't been rescued by an adult in time.

Everyone will grow old, weak, and lose their strength, but what they have done for others in the past should not be forgotten. Those who helped themselves either died or became old people who could only take care of horses and livestock.

Bayan just went on with his actions. He didn't really think about it that much, he just thought that he could reduce some funerals, so that more children could grow up healthily, and the elderly could live longer.

Everyone's smiles were noticeably bigger.

That's enough.

Slowly, other Darkborn warriors began to understand and follow him.

"Winning a Scourmet is more enjoyable than winning a hundred Darkspawn warriors! I'm following you! ”

Bayan's name gradually spread throughout the grasslands.

From the deserts of the far west to the forests and hills of the east, the names of those who fight against natural disasters are known to everyone. A large number of young people, of the Dark Descent or not, came to him, followed the example of Bayan, and became warriors respected by all.

One day when he was thirty-two years old, Bayan was shirtless and leading everyone to build a wind-releasing embankment, and the dark sun cast a light and pulled Bayan into the sun.

When the others saw this, they were stunned and then cheered.

"Bayan, Bayan!"

"Our warriors! He's been chosen by the gods! ”

"Be sure to come back!"

……

When Bayan came back to his senses, he found himself in a place he had never seen before.

There was a cold wind, heavy snow, glaciers and permafrost everywhere, and a dark sun that looked like a big hole in the sky.

Not Degulin.

There were so many things in his mind in an instant, about who he was, about what he wanted to do...... This is the kingdom of the gods opened up by the gods, and it is also the ultimate destination of all the dark descendants.

A passing tail-wearing descendant stopped and told him, "This is the periphery of the Dark Star Civilization, and we are here Cold 1." ”

"Cold 1?" Bayan didn't understand: "What does this mean?" ”

"I don't know, just remember it anyway, it's a name given to me by Lord Darkstar. In addition to the cold 1, there is also a tide 1 next to it, which is better than ours, with a humid climate, oceans and a large number of lakes, and a lot of life. Unlike us here, who are cold to death all year round, and the Dark Descendants who have been promoted here are generally the lowest level. ”

The long-tailed dark descendant glanced at Bayan: "You're only LV21?" I thought my LV34 was already a weak type. Forget it, everyone is waste anyway, it doesn't make a difference. What is your role? ”

Bayan replied truthfully: "[Ice Swimming Enthusiast]." ”

"It's a good character, just swim in the ice water." The other party looked envious: "I am a demon believer dressed as a woman." ”

"I don't know women's clothes at all, I'm really sad...... There are also demonic rituals and missions, it's complicated, and my role is too difficult. ”

Bayan said, "You should be very powerful. Generally speaking, the more powerful people are, the more they can do. ”

"Hahaha, you kid is very good at talking, it's completely different from your honest and tough looks."

Longtail Descendant laughed: "If you have any problems in the future, come to me, my name is Jada, just call me Brother Jie." ”

……

Life in the cold world is relatively boring, Bayan swims in ice water every day, and only goes ashore when he eats, but fortunately, there will be other characters to prepare for the food, but he is not hungry.

When swimming on ice, the cold stimulates Bayan's whole body, making him feel that he is still alive and fighting.

He will whistle his hometown. In the past, whistles originated from the summoning of dogs, and later became a popular entertainment and music for Degulin.

Only when he whistled, Bayan felt that he was still a warrior of Degulin, and his hometown had never left him.

The gods are here.

The real God, however, is not as careful of people as the Dergulins imagined.

Lord Dark Star is indifferent to people, and only the Dark Descendant who plays a good role meets the requirements. If you can't play your role well, you will be considered a failed role and waste and destroyed.

The gods are cold, like stars in the sky.

It looks beautiful from afar, but when you get closer, it turns into the huge dark sun that now hangs overhead. It was the eyes of the dark star, glowing yellowish-white from the edges, looking down on everything on the ground mercilessly and sternly.

One day, Brother Jie asked him to join the mine.

"That is Lord Yaoshen's domain, Lord Yaoshen and Lord Dark Star have a close relationship, that side is different from our Dark Star, there is no role limit, and it is more flexible."

"Originally, I hired the Dark Descendants before, but they would only be in the Dark Yao Country, and we low-level Dark Descendants are not qualified. However, because Lord Yaoshen's god, Lord Wuji, needs manpower, and comes to recruit on the spot, this is a good opportunity, if you go to the mining area for 20 years, you can go to the Yao Kingdom and even the Yao civilization, which is much better than this cold place! ”

Brother Jie excitedly brought Bayan over.

The person in charge of recruiting was a man in armor with only a pitch-black mass in his helmet, it was a prophet of the Yao civilization, named Black Forge.

Black Forge asked Bayan two questions.

"Can you accept the intensity of mining work?"

"Can you accept the possibility of unexpected danger and death?"

The work intensity in the mining area is extremely high, so you only need to serve for 10 years before you can return to the rear, and you will also get the assigned work of the Yao civilization, as well as a lot of remuneration.

In the event of death in an accident at the mining site, a designated person may be selected to give the remuneration and pension to that person.

Bayan asked, "Can I give my pension to my tribe?" ”

Black Forge said, "Yes." ”

Bayan then said, "I can accept it."

Brother Jie finally chose to give up.

"That's too dangerous. Bayan, you are really reckless...... There will be a chance in the future, and there may be dead people over there. ”

Bayan just thought.

Death is always around, so at least choose a place to fight for the tribe.

……

After following into the mining area, Bayan learned that the place where he was engaged in mining was in an extremely dangerous area, which was a big plan of the Yao civilization [Xiyang Project].

What he had to do was to enter a cage made of forbidden stones, wear full-body equipment and protective armor, and go all the way into the well. Then he had to check the surrounding forbidden stone supports and passages to make sure they weren't loose and safe and stable enough.

At this time, we are already in the sea of rest.

Almighty stones and steam furnaces cannot be used underground, and it is necessary to reduce extraordinary strength to avoid causing soil activity and outbreaks, which will cause serious safety accidents and even collapse of the entire mine. So we can only rely on manpower. In order to reduce the pressure and impact, the miners can only be of ordinary size, not too heavy, and a big man like a giant cannot enter.

Bayan's work was to use a special shovel made of forbidden stones, scooping up the flowing white soil from the circular mouths and scooping them into the square grooves made of forbidden stones.

It doesn't sound like that hard.

But this is not the case when it comes to the actual situation.

Bayan remembers very well the first time he carried a shovel to the ring at the bottom of the well.

Neither is it a liquid metal nor clay, it cranes its neck like a snake and looks around with its non-existent eyes. It also grows so many tentacles that reach in all directions, it will even take the form of a miner in human form, and then it will have an extra shovel in its hand, like a miner struggling covered in clay......

The sense of horror brought by the strange grotesqueness made Bayan's hair stand on end.

These guys are alive.

Most of the miners are white bone ancestors, and they are as good at death as if they were eating and sleeping. Sometimes, because their structure is too fragile, some bones in the body break, and they are dragged into the soil. If the skull can be rescued, it can be saved, but if the head is submerged, it will not survive.

Bayan always tried his best to save his group of skeleton miners, and he also made a special shovel that could be closed to quickly rescue the skull from the soil.

The skeleton miners are grateful to him and love him.

However, not every disaster can be overcome with one body.

When Bayan went to rescue a miner, he himself was caught up in the dense clump of soil, as if he had remembered to concentrate on this man who had done bad things many times. At the last moment, Bayan struggled to shovel out a skull.

In the last moment of submersion and covering, Bayan remembered the grasslands and galloping horses of his hometown, the clear blue sky, and the vagaries of the clouds.

He prayed silently in his heart.

God, great Yao, please bless them with good weather.
