Chapter 720 Totems and Tribesmen

The confrontation between black and white did not last long.

Unexpectedly, it was Zeus, not Hades, who compromised first.

Soon after, the thunder and lightning disappeared, and Hades' voice was heard, allowing Zhuo Bai and Athena to enter the Temple of Pluto.

Stepping in here again, it can be clearly seen that many places have been destroyed, but Zhuo Bai feels that he sees hope for success.

"I will go to the Primordial Alliance in person once to confirm whether the Tree of Life is really coming."

Hades' voice was still cold, as if the battle just now had not happened.

Athena's eyes were full of excitement, and the look she gave Hades was a bit indescribable.

Zhuo Bai was also very excited. It is always good to complete the mission.

"When will Hades get up?"

Zhuo Bai couldn't help asking.

"Immediately."

Hades answered straightforwardly.

He nodded to Athena, then took Zhuo Bai through the veil to the balcony, and then summoned his purple chariot.

Zhuo Bai was invited to board the purple chariot, and then under Hades' command, the purple chariot flew out of the underworld and headed east.

On the way, Zhuo Bai took out the Woo-Woo machine and passed the message back.

"Woo-Woo machine?"

Hades asked, looking at the palm-sized thing in Zhuo Bai's hand.

"Yes."

Zhuo Bai said, and took the initiative to hand over the Woo-Woo machine for Hades to watch.

Hades did not refuse, and took the Woo-Woo machine to play with it himself.

"There really is a small totem in it. The way your alliance does things is really different."

He said with a little surprise in his voice.

Totems have always been the belief of the tribesmen, but in the alliance, the situation is a little different.

In the alliance, totems are beliefs, but at the same time they are also existences that serve the tribesmen. There, the totems and his tribesmen get along more... harmoniously.

"When the mysterious cloak of the totem is stripped away, will you still believe in it?"

Hades couldn't help but look at Zhuo Bai and asked.

Zhuo Bai was stunned by this question. He really hadn't thought about this question much. There

was silence for a while, until the desert was right in front of him, Zhuo Bai organized his words.

"Taichu is different. Although Taichu often sacrifices for the tribe, he is sacred and inviolable."

Hades nodded. This is normal. There are differences between gods, just like Zeus is the king of gods and he is the underworld.

"Ordinary totems..."

Zhuo Bai didn't know how to describe the relationship between the tribe and ordinary totems to Hades. He thought about it before giving the answer.

"We live in such a world. We have totems around us since we were born. We have street lights, we have soot machines, we have food, clothing, shelter and transportation. In short, we live with totems."

Zhuo Bai said it very carefully. He hoped to make his thoughts clearer.

"At first, it was really hard to worship totems like street lamps and woo-woo machines, but the elders in the tribe worshipped them. Perhaps it was not worship, but gratitude. Yes, gratitude."

He found the core of the problem and continued.

"We are grateful for their existence, their company, and their efforts. Therefore, we are willing to worship them and provide them with strength, for them and for ourselves."

After explaining this, he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were so many contents about gratitude in the education of the alliance.

Perhaps this was all intentional by Taichu, in order to guide the tribe members to form a bond with tool-type totems.

And gratitude is the end of this bond held in the hands of the tribe members.

"It is really not easy for Taichu to train the alliance to this state."

Hades obviously understood the difficulty and couldn't help but say.

"God Hades, I have a question for you."

Zhuo Bai was confused and couldn't help asking.

"Tell me about it."

Hades said.

"The bond between us and the tool totem is that we are grateful, but what is the reason for the totem?"

This is Zhuo Bai's doubt. He just thought about it and couldn't figure it out.

Hades was stunned, and then laughed. After laughing, he said, "Although I can't be considered as a god from a totem, I am actually half a totem, so I still know something about totems. You asked this question because you know nothing about totems."

Zhuo Bai's face was even more confused, and he hurriedly bowed to ask for advice.

"Do you know how totems come from?"

Hades asked.

Zhuo Bai knew this. He nodded and said immediately, "The tribe's beliefs will give birth to totems."

"That's right, but you take it for granted."

Hades continued, "The appearance of totems should first be thanked to this world. It is the world that created totems and allowed human beliefs to condense the power of totems."

Zhuo Bai's face showed a sudden realization. He knew this, but he couldn't explain it so thoroughly.

"The world has the power to let human beliefs condense totems, but it does not directly give totems the power of thoughts or even emotions. However, many totems have thoughts and emotions. So what do you think these thoughts and emotions are based on?"

Hades asked again.

"Based on... human emotions?"

Zhuo Bai couldn't help asking.

"Yes, based on human emotions, totems are naturally willing to protect and serve their people, but they can't be as meticulous as they are now."

Hades said with a smile.

Zhuo Bai thought about it and immediately understood.

Although totems have always been a place of faith and have a high status, from another perspective, they have always been serving the people.

The people and totems complement each other and neither is indispensable.

"But there are still some totems that are not..."

Zhuo Bai wanted to talk about some exceptions, but soon stopped.

There are indeed very few totems that are not good enough to their own people, and in this regard, it seems that the Mountain of Gods is the worst.

Hades didn't care about these, and said bluntly: "The reasons are complicated. It is very likely that the totem was destroyed by its own people, or it was originally a totem of another tribe and was plundered, or they are not completely totems like us."

Zhuo Bai still knows that the gods on the Mountain of Gods can be regarded as totems or not.

After all, the origin of the Mountain of Gods is because of Titan King Kong. Many of the gods on the Mountain of Gods were born gods.

"Moreover, when a totem creates a totem, it will make the totems behind it follow its own will. In addition, the totem hierarchy is strict, and it is easy for high-level totems to command low-level totems. This is a kind of subconscious suppression."

Hades explained again.

Zhuo Bai nodded to show that he understood.

"Moreover, totems are different from humans. Humans have rich emotions, but totems cannot communicate, so their emotions are weak. They do not have the complex thoughts of humans. This is also the main reason for the existence of tool totems."

Hades said this and stopped talking.

But this was enough for Zhuo Bai, he already understood the reason.
