Chapter 374: Sweet Potato

The winged serpent slowly closed its eyes, and in an instant, its divine consciousness sank into a dark abyss as heavy as iron, and continued to sink endlessly.

I don't know how long it has been, Ye Zhiqiu feels as if he has passed through an incomparably long corridor, and at the end of the darkness like an abyss, small points of light have emerged.

As the distance closes, the point of light becomes a spot of light, which in turn becomes a cluster of light, which occupies half of the field of view. When the consciousness crossed the darkness and passed through the invisible barrier to the interior of the light, it was immediately surrounded by a sea of light.

Ye Zhiqiu soon discovered that the bright ocean was not boundless, and the invisible repulsive force lifted his divine consciousness upward, and after only three breaths, he successfully reached the turbulent sea, and above his head was an incomparably bright starry sky, dotted with colorful starlight, hanging down on the sea, making the sea water become a bright ocean.

Having had the experience of entering the origin of heaven and earth, Ye Zhiqiu was very clear about the current situation, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "I took away the divine body of the winged snake, refined the divinity, turned into a totem beast, and carried out my first transformation, I was lucky enough to enter the origin sea of this world." ”

Ye Zhiqiu's divine sense felt the mother-like origin of the sea, cheered to welcome the return of the wanderer, looked up at the starry sky, and saw the invisible silk threads connecting the stars to form different patterns, which was the constellation formed on the crystal membrane for the godhead projection of the origin of the world.

"The six-faced beast of Godhead 19 should be the dark god Tezcatlipoca who has the supreme artifact Smoke Mirror. The beast that participated in the great cause of creation, the twelve stars that made up the four faces, all dimmed in light, obviously surviving the four destruction and rebirth of the world, and must have paid a certain price. My evaluation of the beast is strong on the outside and dry on the inside!"

"The old woman of Godhead 18 carried a basket in both hands, filled with corn and all kinds of fruits and vegetables. I deduce that it is the goddess of the earth and the harvest, Tlal Taycutli, the ancient god of the seven-headed serpent...... Well, she has an inexplicable relationship with my Seven Snake Great Witch body. It is a pity that the gods born in the ashes of the destruction of the world, but more than 2,000 years, the young souls have aged age. ”

"The Hades of Godhead 18 wields a scythe that harvests souls and wears an ebony crown on his head. The three stars that make up the crown are dazzling, almost the brightest stars, which shows that they are supreme artifacts or incomparably revered divine powers. Death is an important part of any world, heaven and earth, and I am not at all surprised by the Ruler of Death in Godhead 18. ”

Immediately afterwards, Ye Zhiqiu counted 6 powerful divine powers, 14 medium divine powers, 22 weak divine powers, and 38 weak divine powers, as well as a large number of quasi-gods who lit up a star, powerful totems and earth spirits, and they couldn't even successfully form their own godhead projections.

From this matter, Ye Zhiqiu can be regarded as having a relatively clear understanding of the divine power order of this world, and he feels a little strange that the sun god Tonatiu of the Mayan god system has only 17 godheads, and if it were not for the support of the earth goddess Tlal Tai Kutri and the moon god Maistiri, his god-king status would probably be shaky.

"If I have the opportunity, I can go back against the current of time, and I will go to the historical fault line of the First Age to check the order of divine power at that time. I believe that the divine system at that time must have been very tight. ”

Ye Zhiqiu knew enough, the embodiment of the Bright Ocean of the World Origin was not a place where a totem beast could stay for a long time, otherwise it would attract the attention of some gods.

So, after absorbing some light attribute ownerless divine power, Ye Zhiqiu was content to withdraw from the origin of the world and return to the divine body of the winged snake from the same way.

Not long after his consciousness left, a dark fog descended from the starry sky, and at the core was an unpretentious bronze mirror, which disappeared in an instant along with the smoke after scanning back and forth over the turbulent sea of light, and finding nothing.

There is and only the dark god Terscatlipoca who coexists with the world, can detect the changes in the origin of the world, but it is a pity that the great evil god, who is indulged in the continuous war on the earth and drinks the wine of blood sacrifice, is a little too late to catch the thief who entered the origin sea.

"Anyway, the stolen divine power belongs to the stupid and despicable, vain and arrogant sun god Tonatiu. Last time, he piggybacking on a message about the God King of the Fourth Age, and now I have sold my favor and informed the current God King, and the challenger has appeared again. ”

The dark god Tezcatlipoca has his own plans, and no matter which god wants him to owe a favor, the king of evil gods will find an opportunity to pay it back.

As a god of intrigue and intrigue, Texcatlipoca excelled at provoking battles between gods, but never took it upon himself to ensure his transcendence.

After all, he is the only one who is not bound by the belief system of the city-state, walking on the vast desert land, spreading the splendor and glory that belongs to Texcatlipoca.

At the same time, Ye Zhiqiu's divine sense returned to the body of the winged snake, and due to the light divine power brought back from the Origin Sea, the first transformation was smooth and complete.

The colorful rainbow body, shedding a thin layer of snake skin, lost its overly dazzling color, and its back turned blue-gray, close to the color of the surface of the dense rainforest. The abdomen turned pale white, like the true color of the distant eastern sky when the sun rises.

"Foxes, because their cunning beasts are difficult to hunt, are hunted down by good hunters. Wild pheasants, because their gorgeous feathers can be used as decorations, are hunted in large numbers. Therefore, to blend into an unfamiliar environment, perfect camouflage is essential. The first metamorphosis is to hide oneself, and all three snake natures have a strong desire to survive for self-preservation...... Maybe I can start with this and merge the three into one. ”

After a perfect metamorphosis, the Winged Serpent has not yet escaped the realm of totems, after all, there is only one devout believer, Temothy, the ruler of the Lake of Ashes. The rest of the Wilderness Settlements are outcasts and fugitives who have turned their backs on the city-state, and most of them are pan-believers, despite being intimidated by the divine authority of the "savior".

At the same time, with the snake staff given by Ye Zhiqiu, Temothy continued to flow into the spirituality containing knowledge and wisdom, and quickly transformed from a fugitive slave with small merits to a qualified leader, and his deeds were also quite general-like.

First of all, Temothy did not give up his wounded companions who had offended the Savior, first reprimanded them severely, and when he saw that some were willing to repent and show pious faith, the "Lord of the Ash Lake" took a snake staff and lightly tapped the man's forehead.

The "paralyzing lightning" that comes with the totem beast's winged snake scale skin, which makes the muscles of ordinary people who touch it paralyzed and unable to move, was dispelled with the touch of the snake staff.

Seeing the injured who fell to the ground, and quickly recovered their health after converting their beliefs, imitators appeared one after another. These few fanatics who dared to wield their blades at the gods were probably all shaking M physiques, and after a painful lesson, they turned out to be the most staunch fanatics, second only to the first priest who succeeded in self-hypnosis.

As a result, Temothy successfully developed the first batch of "Faith Downline", both physically and mentally belonging to the followers of the Totem Beast Feathered Serpent, because these people were the strongest fighters in the wilderness settlement, and they were fugitive slaves with blood and human life in their hands, so the First Priest had a loyal direct guard.

After all, Temothy was also a fugitive slave, and he had a common experience with them, so he could talk quite well on weekdays, and he was relatively close. Otherwise, Temothy would have made the decision to abandon the wounded as soon as the Totem-Winged Serpent turned to leave the wilderness settlement.

With a strong thug (guard) and a direct force, the position of the first priest Temothy became more and more secure. Of course, he disdained to show a tough attitude and use force to ensure that orders were carried out, but used an equal tone to discuss things with his partners in the wilderness settlement.

Around the Ash Lake, there are bushes everywhere, dotted with sweet berries, all picked and reborn after a night.

Berries quench thirst, but the staple food is sweet potatoes with heart-shaped leaves, which grow in glades or hills on the slopes of the hills. They are hidden deep in the sandy bottom, and they are huge bulbs, or rhizomes as thick as arms.

As long as you wash the sand outside and eat sweet potatoes raw, the taste is still very good. If it is boiled in a clay pot with water, the taste will become softer and sweeter, and even have the taste of honey.

Wilderness settlements could not be cultivated without the seeds of corn, the city-state's staple food. As for the wild corn that can be seen everywhere, the grains are too small to be cultivated, so the staple food of the ash lake will fall on these sweet potatoes.

The first priest gained the spirituality of knowledge and wisdom from the serpent's staff, and knew that in order to retain people's hearts, a high-yield sweet potato was essential, although if he ate too much, he would probably have a burning sensation of heartburn, which was not as sweet as corn, but when there was no condition, he did not need to be too harsh, and he would wait for an opportunity to get some seeds in the future.

So, under the command of Temothy, more than half of the men went to the ash lake to dig up silt for fertilization. The other half went to the nearby jungle in search of sweet potatoes to bring back food rations and sprinkle the seeds.

It wasn't long before the thick silt piled up on the sunny slope of the south side of the Ash Lake, dividing the fields ten steps long and two steps wide, and the neatly arranged sweet potato seedlings, all the stems and leaves cultivated by branches, were very pleasing to the eye.

The refugees and fugitives in the wilderness settlements shed not only food, but also hope for a better future life. In the gray-black silt field, the green sweet potato leaves slowly calm down the floating people's hearts.
