Lying on the lazy sofa, Wu Yue stared blankly at the top of the tattered tent.
He was shocked when he first saw the people of the Sharp Fang Tribe in the hot spring cave.
On Earth, in his country, in his hometown, although he couldn't say that everyone could eat and drink well, he had never heard of anyone being so poor that they starved, or even starving to the point of being skin and bones.
He wanted to ensure that those people who were starving and cold at that time had enough food and warm clothes.
He also wants to make his life as better as possible.
But with his ability, even if he had a truck of express delivery as a golden finger, he could not directly make the Sharp Fang Tribe transition to modern society, and the feudal society was something he did not want to see.
It is true that the productivity of feudal agricultural society is definitely stronger than that of primitive society, much stronger, but the materials produced are plundered by the upper class, and the lower-class people responsible for production may not be able to have enough food and clothing even after working all day.
Drought, flood, war, corruption... He really didn't want the Sharp Tooth Tribe and its descendants to end up like "starving people everywhere" and "eating their own children" in history books.
It would also be unacceptable to prevent the Sharp Fang Tribe from progressing and developing. If this tribe didn't develop, what would happen to the other tribes? One day, the other tribes would become powerful, and being swallowed up by them would be the best outcome for the Sharp Fang Tribe.
For a bad ending, refer to the Native Americans in America, the Indians who were massacred and had their skins peeled off to make boots.
Wu Yue raised his hand to cover his eyes and gave a wry smile. He now missed modern society immensely. Although the Earth back then wasn't exactly peaceful either, with many countries and regions still mired in war and poverty.
But his country is different. His country has independent sovereignty, nuclear weapons, land, factories, and the power to fight against powerful countries.
All of these were gained through the efforts and blood of our ancestors, and were taken back and built up bit by bit and drop by drop from the corrupt feudal society.
What you see in books or movies is not profound enough. Until you are in the current situation, because you can't do it yourself, Wu Yue has a deeper respect for those predecessors who dared to sacrifice and dedicate themselves.
I don’t ask myself to have that much energy, but I definitely can’t lie here and be sad.
Wu Yue's expression changed, and he felt that he had also found a vague way forward in the fog.
He should still teach knowledge, and not just practical planting, animal husbandry and hunting, but also deeper knowledge that may be useless in the eyes of primitive people.
He wanted to tell these primitive people that kings, princes, generals and ministers are not born equal, and that all people should be born equal, regardless of gender, age or status, and no one should oppress or exploit anyone else.
He wanted to tell these primitive people that if they wanted to live a good life, they should strive for it through their own labor, instead of praying to gods and waiting for pie to fall from the sky, or relying on others to wait for mercy.
He wanted to tell these primitive people that humans should not invade other humans, but should improve themselves and be prepared to be invaded at all times. Force is the basis of peace.
He should not escape, but should make the Sharp Fang Tribe strong, very strong, stronger than any other tribe, so that these ideas and concepts can be spread.
Perhaps this planet would still enter a feudal society like Earth, but that was unavoidable. He had already done his best. After experiencing the baptism of feudal society, they would one day encounter people like their ancestors and awaken.
Another possibility is that perhaps the ideas he conveys can change the world!
After figuring this out, he stood up and when he opened the tent, he met Xiao's eyes.
Xiao, carrying a bowl of soup and a piece of grilled meat wrapped in a large leaf, bumped into him head-on.
"Are you... okay?" Seeing that his expression was no longer as worried and annoyed as before, Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay." Wu Yue's stomach started to growl when he saw the food. Well, the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe only had this one meal a day, so how could they not be hungry?
Pulling Xiao to a secluded spot near the campfire, he sat down. He took a sip of soup from the bowl, then grabbed some barbecued meat and ate while quietly asking Xiao, "What are these gods you're talking about?"
He just thought about it in his mind. Since he was regarded as a "messenger of God", he should make good use of this identity. Primitive people believed in God, so it would definitely not work to directly adopt atheism. It would be better to use the mouth of God to spread his ideas.
Xiao doesn't believe in God anyway, so it's just right to consult him on how to make up the story.
So Xiao told him about the mythological system of this world.
This world was created by a pair of creator gods, namely the God of Heaven and the God of Earth. The God of Earth created the earth, mountains, rivers, trees, flowers and plants, while the God of Heaven created the sky, white clouds, stars, humans and animals.
They gave birth to a pair of children, the Sun God and the Moon God. The Sun God and the Moon God were originally a pair of lovers, but the Moon God changed his heart, so the Sun God split him into two halves, and the two halves became the Big Moon God and the Little Moon God respectively.
The gods of heaven and earth live on a hidden mountain that leads to the sky. Occasionally, they will quietly come to the world to spread their divine power. Then the divine power combines with all things in the world and they all become gods.
Mountains have mountain gods, water has water gods, fire has fire gods, and beasts have beast gods.
Wu Yue listened and took notes. It seemed that in this world, at least the Sharp Tooth Tribe believed in pantheism, which believed that all things have spirits. This was very good.
At least from what he knew about the history of the Earth, secular beliefs such as pantheism would not drive people crazy like monotheism, where they would devote everything to it, regard people with different beliefs as enemies, and go to war everywhere.
"Are the gods mentioned by other tribes like this too? And what about the divine realm you mentioned before?" He asked again. After all, he would have to deal with other tribes in the future, and different beliefs would be a big trouble.
Xiao replied: "All the tribes in this area come here to exchange salt. Although the witches of different tribes have different details of their inheritance, they all worship the same god. As for the tribes farther away, which I have not come into contact with, I don't know.
As for the divine realm, that's something only the Sharp Fang Tribe should believe in. We believe that the gods will select intelligent and kind people from the world and bring them back to their homeland, where there's no worry about food and clothing, and it's always bright... In short, it's wonderful, just as good as your hometown."
So that's why the Earth was called the God's Realm before. Wu Yue nodded and asked, "Does everyone know the same stories about these gods? Or do some people know more detailed stories, like the Great Witch?"
He was planning to make up some small stories using these 'gods', but if someone knew more specific details, it might be troublesome if they didn't match.
Xiao replied: "We all know the same thing. As for whether Xia knows more, I don't know. The inheritance of the Great Witch is very secretive."
Wu Yue nodded, not really taking it seriously. Xia was, after all, a single person, and had yet to display any supernatural powers, unlike himself, who could speak the "language of the gods" and possessed a space where he could play tricks.
Even if it is different from what she said, after all, the Great Witch has been passed down for so many generations. Who knows if there is an old Great Witch with a bad memory who remembered it wrong.
He didn't want to hurt Xia, but he had no choice.
He absolutely could not allow the Sharp Tooth Tribe to degenerate step by step into a corrupt and dark feudal society, at least not while he was alive!
He finished the last bite of the barbecue in a few mouthfuls and drank the rest of the soup. Then he stood up, took out a stainless steel basin and banged it a few times like a gong, attracting everyone's attention. Then he said loudly, "Everyone, do you want to hear the story of God?"
Except for the weird Xiao, everyone in the Sharp Tooth Tribe believed in God. Naturally, they were extremely excited at this time and gradually surrounded Wu Yue.
"God's story!?"
"Did you hear that? The messenger of God wants to tell us the story of God!"
"The messenger of God came from the divine realm. He must be telling a story that no one knows!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, hey you stepped on my foot!"
Seeing everyone gathering around with blinking eyes in anticipation, Wu Yue suddenly felt the pressure as if he was called to the podium by the teacher to read his composition. He swallowed his saliva, forced a smile, and began to tell the story.
"In the beginning, there was no sky, no earth, and the world was a mass of black mist. Within the black mist, there was a seed. After a long, long time, the seed cracked, and the gods of heaven and earth were born..."
Wu Yue combined Xiao's information with ancient Chinese mythology and began to spin a web of stories. He pulled out classic stories like Pangu creating the world, Nuwa creating humans, Gonggong battling Zhurong, and Nuwa mending the sky, adapting them to fit within the mythology of this world. The Sharp Teeth Tribe was captivated by these unprecedented stories, and they recounted them late into the night, only letting Wu Yue go when his throat began to ache.
