Wu Yue, who moved into the new house, had a comfortable sleep and felt refreshed when he opened his eyes again.
When I went out, I happened to run into Xiao and a bunch of wild flowers still covered with dew.
Wu Yue: ???
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have started dating Xiao yesterday.
Although they were in love, sending flowers was unnecessary. He was not a girl and had no interest in these inedible and impractical flowers and plants.
But since it was his first time receiving it, he took it without hesitation, dug out a ceramic bowl from his space, filled it with water, and put the flowers in it. The simple house and the elegant wildflowers complemented each other very well.
It looked nice, but he still said to Xiao who followed him in, "Don't give me this kind of thing in the future. It's not practical at all."
It seems that this trick is useless. Xiao paused, took note of it silently, and decided to send some food to Wu Yue in the future.
After delivering the flowers, Xiao took people out hunting. Wu Yue went out to wash up and saw someone building a new foundation next to his house. They should be building Xiao's house.
Wu Yue didn't mind having another neighbor; it was better than having another roommate. He went to the river to wash his face and brush his teeth. After finishing, he stared at the toothbrush in his hand in a daze.
The toothbrush was originally a portable travel-sized one of poor quality. It had become a bit worn out over the years, with the bristles frayed beyond recognition. If it were still on Earth, even though he was always thrifty, he would have thrown it away and replaced it with a new one.
But in this situation, this toothbrush is the only one in the world, and he can't bear to part with it.
The primitive people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe did use charcoal powder and twigs to clean their teeth, but how could that compare to the cleaning power of a toothbrush? As a modern person, he was definitely not used to it. He still had to find a way to get some toothbrushes.
He tells stories to the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe every night these days, and also suggests some things that he hopes everyone will invent, such as tables, chairs, benches, toothbrushes, combs, candle lighters and other small things that can improve their living standards.
However, apart from the relatively simple combs and tables and benches, other things are still in the works.
Unable to wait any longer, Wu Yue decided to try making his own toothbrush, using the toothbrush in his hand as a reference. As for the materials, he could use wood and wild boar hair.
The wild boar hair was washed again and again, and thoroughly disinfected with boiling water to remove the odor. Then a piece of hard wood was found, cut into the shape of a toothbrush, and a few small holes were drilled at the brush head.
Next, just trim the wild boar hair and glue it on! Wu Yue thought about it, got up and went to Xia's tent. The resin he had used to glue the bucket before was quite good, so he went to Xia to ask for some.
"Xia, are you there?" After all, the other party was a woman, so Wu Yue did not go in directly, but asked at the door of the tent.
"Messenger of God? I'm here, please come in." Xia was obviously confused when she heard Wu Yue's voice. She stood up, lifted the curtain and let the person in.
The room was filled with a strong medicinal smell. A few branches were draped over the tent, with some dried herbs hanging from them. In the corners were a number of wooden and ceramic bowls, some filled with various powders, others with a thick, black, medicinal-smelling paste.
Xia asked him to sit down on the animal skin on the ground, lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the medicine in her hand while asking, "Does the divine messenger have any instructions?"
This was quite embarrassing. Wu Yue scratched his head and said, "No, there are no instructions. I just want to ask you for some of that sticky resin. I want to make a toothbrush."
Xia turned around and took out several fist-sized pieces of resin from an animal skin package and handed them to Wu Yue.
"Oh, there are too many, too many..." Wu Yue hurriedly went to take them. Fortunately, he could put them into the space easily, otherwise it would be difficult to take them.
Seeing Wu Yue using his magical superpowers again, Xia's eyes dimmed.
Although she repeatedly suppressed this outrageous thought, it became stronger and heavier, and she could no longer suppress it.
She hates the messenger of God.
It was not like this at the beginning. The messenger of God saved Xiao, distributed food and clothes to the people in the tribe, and made vine armor so that everyone could take back the Sharp Fang Tribe.
At that time, she was very grateful to the messenger of God, but at the same time, she felt a little uncomfortable because she could not help.
This feeling of powerlessness made her decide to continue working hard, consolidate the knowledge she had received from the previous generation of great witches, find more herbs, save more tribesmen, and become the helper of the messenger of God.
She worships God, so she also worships God's messengers.
But later, as she listened to the stories told by the messenger of God, she slowly discovered that the messenger of God did not worship God, and even did not believe in God.
This made her furious. Why?! How could someone who didn't believe in God receive God's favor?
She had been learning from the great witch of the previous generation since she was young, and had never had a single day to play freely like other children in the tribe. She had no friends since she was young, and when she grew up, she couldn't find a man who dared to be with her. She could only put on a cold face and convince herself that she would dedicate her life to God.
But Wu Yue, this man has obviously learned so much knowledge from the divine realm, obviously possesses such great divine power, and obviously received so much favor from God, but he does not believe in God!
Everything in the world is a gift from God, and birth, old age, sickness, and death are all God's will. But he actually said that we can't rely on God, and that we must rely on humans to create a better life. He even wanted to overturn the prophecy of the previous generation of great witches yesterday!
Ridiculous, so ridiculous! Unfair, so unfair!
God, why do you let such a person become God's messenger? He is not worthy at all!
The anger that she could have suppressed if she hadn't seen Wu Yue now grew stronger. Seeing Wu Yue about to get up and leave, Xia finally couldn't help herself and shouted, "Stop!"
Wu Yue was startled by the sudden shout and turned around, his eyes full of confusion.
Xia was even more upset. She pursed her lips, took a deep breath out of anger, and asked as calmly as possible: "Wu Yue, I want to ask you, why?"
Huh? Wu Yue was confused. What on earth do you mean?
Wait, is this resin actually so valuable that she doesn't want to give it to me? Or should she just return it...
Seeing Wu Yue taking out the resin from the space, Xia was speechless for a while, but her anger was somewhat offset. She spoke again: "...I'm not talking about that. I'm saying, how can you, who doesn't believe in God, become a messenger of God!"
Ah, that’s why. What is supposed to come has finally come.
He calmly put the resin back into the space and said to Xia, "Xia, let's find a quiet place to have a good chat, okay?"
He had long wanted to have a good chat with the most superstitious person in the tribe.
Xia followed Wu Yue to his newly built house and sat on the kang covered with animal skins.
Wu Yue asked for some hot water as he passed by the bonfire. While heating the resin in water to stick the pig hair, he asked Xia, "Xia, what do you think is the meaning of God's existence?"
"Of course it is to create all things in the world so that people can believe in and worship them!" Xia answered.
"Yeah." Wu Yue nodded and asked, "If gods are omnipotent, then what's the point of them wanting humans to believe in and worship them?"
"This..." Xia hesitated a little. The previous great wizard had not told her.
Wu Yue continued to ask, "If gods need human faith and worship, then why don't they show themselves before people and perform miracles? I bet they would gain a lot of faith if they just came a few times like this."
They could demand that people build a large house, make a stone statue of themselves, and have people bow down and worship every day, offering them all their good things. The more generous the offerings, the more benefits the tribe will receive. Conversely, small tribes like our Sharp Teeth Tribe, which can't afford good things, will receive no benefits. This way, the big tribes will grow bigger and the small tribes will shrink.
Xia frowned, thinking that a great God would not do this: "God... doesn't need this."
Very good, we got in.
Wu Yue dipped the pig hair in resin and stuffed it into the small hole in the wood, saying with a smile, "Yes, God doesn't need these. God created the world and humans simply because they wanted to. Doing so neither benefits nor harms them. God does not need humans' gratitude, nor will he be responsible for them."
The theory she had never heard of before made Xia ponder.
Wu Yue struck while the iron was hot: "The gods are actually very far away from us. They don't interfere with human life, and they can't empathize with our pain or joy. In the eyes of the gods, we and the wild boars are all their people, but if we hunt wild boars to fill our stomachs, the gods won't be angry. As for the gods, we just need to silently thank them in our hearts for creating us, and then work hard to make our lives better."
Xia frowned and looked him up and down: "Then you..."
Oh, I forgot, he is still known as the messenger of God.
Scratching his head, he let out an awkward laugh. "As for me, I ended up here by accident. I want to make it clear to you that I've never seen a god. My hometown, the wonderful place you call the Divine Realm, was built by the people of my hometown, without any help from the gods."
Xia recalled the world Wu Yue had once described, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "...It can be built by humans alone?"
Wu Yue smiled confidently: "Yes, relying solely on humans! Although it will take a very long time, one day, the Sharp Fang Tribe, this world will also be built like that!"
Xia looked at his smile and for some reason, she began to believe it.
After seeing off Xia, who looked pensive, Wu Yue nodded with satisfaction. Although he was not sure how much she had heard, at least Xia's eyes looking at him were no longer as hostile.
And without any delay, his toothbrush is also ready!
After getting a bowl of water, he put the rough toothbrush into his mouth and ate a mouthful of wild boar hair.
