Chapter 428: The Dragon and the Snake
"Ahh This differentiation greatly exceeded Shang Luo's expectations. The Shui people in front of them, who were hungry at first glance, looked like they were still in the early days of the agricultural era. But their form of social organization seems to be quite clear, especially the exchange of information.
These three continents are quite large for their scale, roughly the size between Greenland and Australia, and are truly continental. How the hell are they connected.
And what is the Fragment of Asvita?
And why do both the Water and the Air Tribes call themselves clans, while only the "Tyranid Kingdom", which seems to be a "Tu Clan", calls itself a nation?
And what is the birch world?
"It's all because of the birth of the Worship of the Dragons." Ummah replied, "The benevolent gods have left us the Remnants of Arevata. According to the revelation in the first chapter, "How to Use the Forum," we should 'make friends and share the revelation.' βγ It means to have good thoughts, to lift and consolidate our hard-won humanity, and to always yearn for the lightβto the birch tree in the middle of the world that supports the world. The Athvira Sutra was once a piece of birch leaves, and in order to remember the teachings of the gods, the shamans memorized and transcribed it, forming our common Areva Sutra, as well as the worship of the dragon. β
"They don't seem to have a good memory," Apollonia muttered on the side, "I remember you wrote about 'meeting new people and discussing new topics.'" It's all messy, they just remember a title, and I can't even imagine what kind of mess will happen in the future. By the way, ask them why they are dragon worshippers and see if it's the same as I thought. β
Shang Luo asked.
Ummah replied, "For after the serpents have been judged by you and have given us humanity, we think that the serpents have been sublimated into dragons." β
"That's right." Apollonia nodded, "Same as I thought." Dragons and snakes are a lot of the time relative to each other β for example, in Hindu mythology, celestial beings are called Deva and non-celestial evil beings are called asuras. But on the other hand, the Persian Aryan culture, which is of the same origin as the Indo-Aryan culture, called the gods Ahura and the evil spirits Diver. Do you see that? 'Ahura and Asura' are essentially the same word, as are 'Deva and Dev' and, as you are more familiar with the English demon devil. But they mean diametrically opposed things in both cultures, and both sides consider the snake to be the evil side. β
"So, the king who has the right to rule is the dragon?"
"There is no doubt that when you divide the feuds, the serpents are their unquestioned rulersβthey have power. It makes sense that those who have the right to become dragons. In contrast, if any other creature wants to subvert the order you have made."
"That's the snake?"
"That's right. You see, in the beginning, you established the order of this world, and this is just a server. If they cling to the server like moths and causing you trouble, it's snakes. But after your judgment, you gave the serpents 'tribes', and they were able to rule their land. If they have their own land and people, then they have already put on the crown of dragons, and they are no longer snakes. Dragons have dragon horns, don't they? That's the crown of the dragon. β
"Ah, wait."
He tapped the ball again: "Ball two, do you have an itchy scalp?" β
"It's not itchy. I don't feel like I'm going to have horns on my head. Ball No. 2 replied directly. Although he didn't speak, he kept listening.
"Look." Apollonia continued, "O brother of ours, it has given up the power to rule and is hidden in your little billiards, so it has never been crowned as a dragon. I think that the side of the air and earth should be wearing a crown and actually ruling over its own people. β
"That's why it's called the Worship of the Dragons. But that's not right. He looked at Ummah, "Where are your water dragons?" β
"We believe that although the Serpent Lord has gone into hiding, he will definitely come one day in the future, and he will definitely return to wear a crown and become a water dragon, and put an end to the threat of the Fire Serpent once and for all. So, we worship the water dragon of the future. We worship Him and honor His precepts as He has always been. β
"Tut-tut. Ball No. 2, do you hear me, your people are calling you back. β
Ball No. 2 chooses silence β it has the right to choose silence, so it doesn't speak.
"Okay." Shang Luo nodded, "I probably know what's going on." The other two sides should have dragon leaders, so they have the Atmospheric Pastoral and the Tyranid Kingdom, which sounds like they have a relatively unified way of life. But this 'Atayal Aquarium' is a very broad life, neither pastoral nor country, it seems that these shamans themselves figured it out. Therefore, it is necessary to live strict precepts, because this is how they build their self-identity. It's like Hong Xiuquan said, 'Alcohol is the first forbidden thing' - is drinking alcohol really that serious? Not necessarily, and there is no ban on alcohol in the west. But if you don't drink alcohol, how will others know that you are a worship of God? The counter-example is Manichaeism, which is united with Buddhism and Taoism, and eventually unites itself. β
After speaking, he looked at Uma in front of him: "Your father, bring him to me." β
"Ahh I beg your pardon! But God, I'm afraid he won't come. β
"Why?"
"He's rooted."
"Huh? What do you mean? β
"Look over there, look at the tree."
Raising his binoculars, Shang Luo looked into the distance he pointed toβin the middle of a group of houses, there was a large "tree" there. Say it's a tree, but it's more like some kind of mushroom, or a banyan tree and a willow tree and geometry. The roots that sprout from the ground are entangled with each other to form a trunk, like the trunk of a banyan tree. Then it spreads out in the treetops, like the branches of a weeping willow.
"That's my father, who reached his deadline last year. When our bodies die, they quickly decay into the earth. But the souls of our water tribes have nowhere to go, and our dragon lord is gone. It would have been a sad thing not to have a dragon lord to contain our souls. But the powerful among us have benefited from this, and they have been able to reassemble their bodies and sprout again in the form of trees. So I still have time, and I'm learning from my father how to become a shaman. Maybe in the future, I can have my own tree. β
"Okay, okay." Shang Luo put down the binoculars, "You guys are really quite talented, I'm not wrong." β
From the beginning, he thought that these mushrooms were quite powerful. I didn't expect to be able to play so well.
"O gods! Did we grow into what you expected it to be? β
Shang Luo nodded: "I'm quite happy to see that you can have your own life." You're not the same as you were at the beginning. β
"Then please shelter us! Please shelter Insula, this is the name of our village and the name of my father. β
"Asylum? You have your own house and your own land. I don't know how to live without touching the fire, but it looks like you can live on your own. What do you need me to shelter? β
"Because the city of Kaniki upstream, a stone dam was built to block the water source. The fields where we grow crops are drying up and our villages are dying. β
"It has nothing to do with me. It's your own business. β
"But the city of Carnigie is protected by another god! Please! We also want to have our own gods! β
