Before they knew it, the quartet was 19 years old.

After Su Mingan's popular science education, the number of newborns increased significantly. The tribe gradually developed a family-centered approach. The originally selfless villagers gradually learned to hide some of the fruits of their labor in order to feed their children better.

The village no longer had a big-pot distribution of resources, but was divided into four major households: farmers, hunters, fishermen, and workers. Public ownership began to transform into private ownership.

The stone house of the four people was built higher and higher. The door used to be open, but now a high stone wall was built outside the door to prevent people from sneaking in.

Gradually, common people could no longer enter the houses of the patriarchs, and a clear gap appeared between them.

Su Ming'an landed in Su Mianbao's room, but this time she was no longer writing at her desk, but waiting for something.

Seeing Su Ming'an suddenly appear, Su Mianbao rushed up as if he had planned it for a long time and pressed Su Ming'an's shoulder.

"...Are you waiting for me?" Su Mingan said in surprise.

Su Mianbao helped him sit down on the soft chair, but his hand did not leave his shoulder: "The interval between each visit of Lord God is similar. I guessed that you were coming these days, so I have been waiting."

"Is there anything urgent?" Su Mingan turned her head, her eyes a little too sharp.

"Yes." Su Mianbao whispered, his dark eyes flickering, his breathing almost in sync with his rhythm: "...Recently, two new settlements have appeared outside the village. One clan leader is named Su Qing, and the other clan leader is named Su Jingtang."

Su Mingan didn't expect that these two people would choose to be the king instead of helping Su Baoma. That's right, they don't look like people who are inferior to others. Competition can make the world develop faster, and Su Mingan doesn't intend to intervene.

Su Mianbao's breathing quickened a little, and he leaned close to his ear and said, "If a war breaks out between tribes, you will choose to stand on my side, right?"

Su Mingan's pupils dilated for a moment, and he wanted to say no. After all, he would not favor either side.

But Su Bread repeated it again, like a child suddenly abandoned by his father:

"I am the original life in your hands. We are of the same blood. I will be better and more loyal to you than your bloodline Su Qing and Su Jingtang... You will be obedient, right?"

She tightened her fingers, placed them in his palms, and lowered her voice:

"...You will choose to stand on my side, Father God."
