The Cat God was born on an island in the middle of a lake in the divine realm.
He was born with great divine power. As soon as he opened his eyes, he learned the appearance of all things in the world. He walked to the lake, looked down and saw his own furry appearance. He moved his cat ears and tentatively meowed, but it didn't work well and sounded a bit like a "cat".
So He named Himself the Cat God.
Upon learning that another god was born, the gods of the divine realm hurried over. On the surface, they seemed to be welcoming their colleagues, but in fact, they had their own calculations in their hearts. They were afraid that this new god would be too powerful and would compete with them for territory and faith.
This is the advantage that gods who were born earlier have. Not only do they have more time to practice and plan, but they can also see the other party's divinity and weaknesses clearly through careful observation in secret when the new god is just born and does not know how to navigate the world.
On the first day of the new god's birth, he licked his fur and washed his face by the lake, and caught a fat carp to roast and eat.
On the second day after the new god was born, He continued to lick his fur and wash his face, happily chasing butterflies. This time, He tried a bite of the heavy spiritual fruit on the tree and found it tasted good, so he stewed a fish soup with grass carp.
…
On the eleventh day after the birth of the new god, He had finally had enough of everything on the island and raised His claws to use His divine power.
The gods who were almost asleep were perked up.
...
...
The Cat God was seen raising his claws menacingly, with enormous divine power at his disposal. Just looking at the momentum when this divine power was triggered, it could easily crush most of the gods present.
The faces of the gods became even more nervous, and their eyes widened. Especially those who were slightly weaker, they took full precautions, fearing that this new god would rush to their territory to snatch their resources.
Then the Cat God retracted and expanded its claws, and there was a rumbling sound between heaven and earth. Out of thin air, a beautiful two-story wooden house was built on the island. There was a railing around the house, and inside the fence were two sturdy trees with branches crossing and hanging in the middle, like a unique swing.
The cat nodded with satisfaction, jumped onto the swing, and basked in the sun while swinging.
The gods were speechless and choked.
Although gods have endless life, and some can even go into seclusion for tens of millions of years, it is too boring to watch a cat eating, drinking, rolling around and basking in the sun every day. After a long time, the gods also felt that this new god might really have no brains, and most of them gave up watching him.
The rest of them who always thought that the Cat God was deliberately acting, finally admitted that this new god was an unambitious guy when one day the Cat God painstakingly cast his divine power into the mortal world and transformed into thousands of cats, and the messages passed on to these cats were all nonsense like "the fish is delicious" and "remember to lick your fur in time to keep clean", without mentioning anything related to themselves or their beliefs, and turned away.
Finally, there were only two gods left near the island where the new gods lived.
God of Heaven, and God of Spring.
The God of Heaven thought that this god was easy to deceive, and wanted to trick him into being a useful thug for him. The God of Spring also thought that this god was easy to deceive, and realized that the divine power of the Cat God was very strong, so he secretly planned to obtain his divine power.
The first one who couldn't hold back was the God of Spring.
He mobilized the power of the spring breeze, which slowly landed on the island of the Cat God. Just by moving his hand to the side, he saw clusters of flowers and the whole garden filled with spring colors.
However, unlike what he expected, the Cat God did not come to enjoy the flowers and have fun, but just squatted on the swing, looking at him with his ears perked up in confusion.
The God of Spring smiled gently, "Are you the newly born god? I am the God of Spring."
Seeing the Cat God's cautious attitude, He did not get discouraged. He sat on the ground and told the story patiently as if he was coaxing a child.
The God of Spring said that he owned the most beautiful temple in the entire divine realm, with birds singing and flowers blooming, bright spring scenery, gorgeous butterflies dancing in the garden, and a pond of fat and tender spirit fish, which were the supreme delicacy for the divine realm's banquet held once every century.
He sat on the Cat God Island for nine days. The Cat God first sat on the swing, then approached cautiously and slowly, until the ninth day, when He finally walked in front of the Spring God, lowered his head, and rubbed his palm, which was filled with the fragrance of flowers, with his soft fur ears.
Then the God of Spring cut his throat with a sword.
…
Unbeknownst to the Spring God, the Cat God possesses a powerful life force that can bring the dead back to life.
For ordinary gods, that poisoned sword might be able to directly deprive them of their fighting ability and allow him to split and devour their godhood, but for the Cat God, it was just a simple injury that could be recovered in half a day.
But this sword made him and the cat completely enemies.
The God of Spring, who was driven back to the temple in a panic by the angry Cat God, was shocked to find that several spiritual fish were missing from the pond while he was strolling in his back garden the next day.
From then on, the Cat God became more wary of the gods in the divine realm. The gods who wanted to trick him into being a thug went to Cat Island several times but returned empty-handed. In the end, they simply gave up their plans. Anyway, the Cat God would not hinder his great cause, so they stopped caring.
The proud god lived alone on Cat Island, eating, drinking, playing and basking in the sun every day. When he was bored, he sneaked into the palace of the Goddess of Spring to steal spiritual fish.
One day fifty years later, a beam of sunlight passed by Cat Island and suddenly stopped.
The brilliant light took shape, and a surprised laugh came from it. It was the God of Light.
He had been preaching to believers in the human world before, and had just returned to the divine realm. When he heard that a new god had been born, he came to take a look out of curiosity.
"It's no wonder that I came here," said the God of Light in a good mood. "You look different from the other gods in the divine realm. Hmm, maybe you can have something in common with that warlike big dog? I'll mention it to Him next time I see Him."
The Cat God raised his tail, with hostility in his eyes, but he did not attack directly. He just angrily asked Him to leave his island.
"Well, I guess you have seen other gods in the divine realm," the God of Light waved his hand helplessly and floated away. After thinking for a while, he turned back and threw a round ball in front of the Cat God. "Since you are here, let's just consider it fate and give you a cat toy."
He left without looking back.
The Cat God still maintained a fighting posture until he was sure that the God of Light had gone far away, then he lowered his head to lick his fur that had just exploded. His eyes couldn't help but drift towards the ball over there, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally walked over cautiously.
The little ball jumped up happily: "Hello! I'm a cat toy!"
The Cat God got angry again.
The more than ten minutes of licking hair was ruined and had to start all over again.
…
For the cat god who lives alone on Cat Island, cat toys are really good friends.
Together, the two of them went to the cracks in time and space to look for treasures to decorate Cat Island, and went to the back garden of the God of Spring to steal spirit fish. For the sake of cat toys, the Cat God taught himself the art of forging artifacts, and used his divine power to upgrade the form of cat toys from artifact spirits to souls, to prevent himself from accidentally smashing the ball and other such tragedies.
While searching for a method to upgrade from an instrument spirit to a soul spirit, he also saved a servant of God whose physical body was destroyed after angering the gods. At his request, he helped him escape from the divine realm, and when his soul was about to be destroyed, he used this method to transform his soul into a physical body.
It’s a pity that the Cat God never saw him again, so he had no way of knowing whether his imperfect spell had any side effects.
This happy life lasted for a long time, until a big dog with bright golden hair drew an arc from the horizon and fell into the lake around Cat Island with a bang.
The big dog swam to the lake in a panic, lay on the rocks by the lake and coughed up water.
The cat god was rolling on the grass with a ball of yarn in his mouth. Hearing the sound, he pricked up his ears alertly, jumped lightly onto a big tree next to him, and looked with his tail tilted to the side.
“I didn’t lose!” The big dog’s four paws became limp, and he lay on the rock like a slimy starfish. He still refused to admit defeat, and raised his head and howled, “This Tengu never admits defeat! Paralysis powder and the like are just cheating!”
After shouting, he sniffed the scent of a strange god nearby and jumped up excitedly: "Who's there? Come and fight this Tengu!"
The cat blinked, tilted its head innocently, and flicked out its claws.
The Cat God in his prime faced off against the beaten Tengu, and the outcome was decided in a single encounter. However, the Cat God thought the dog was quite interesting, so he deliberately dragged out the fight and kicked the dog's butt a few more times.
After the fight, the Cat God retracted his claws with dignity and coolness: "Are you the warlike big dog that the God of Light mentioned? Go away, and don't come here again."
Before he finished speaking, the big dog jumped up, wagging its tail, and ran around the cat energetically, not looking like it had been beaten up twice. "You are so awesome! Are you a new god? Why haven't I seen you before? Can I come and fight with you more often in the future? It's okay if we don't want to fight, we can play games together! Do you know about mud fights? There's a huge mud pool in front of my Tengu Temple. It's fun to roll around in it!"
Cat God: “…”
Doesn't this dog understand?
He did not drive the tengu away immediately, out of consideration for the God of Light who had given him a cat toy. However, the big dog kept barking, and He became impatient. He kicked the ball of yarn that had just been thrown on the grass with his claws. His divine power attached to the surface of the yarn ball, and it barely brushed past the big dog's ear.
The cat originally wanted to warn the Tengu that he would be beaten if he didn't leave, but the Tengu suddenly got excited, turned around and rushed towards the ball of yarn, and picked it up before it hit the ground, and placed it next to the cat's paw: "So you like to play catch! I like this too, let's play together!"
The Cat God took a deep breath.
Then he kicked and stomped the self-familiar stupid dog out.
The next day, there was another perfect arc, and the Tengu fell into the water with a bang.
"I didn't lose," the big dog howled to the sky, then jumped onto the shore and shook off the water on his body, "Kitten! Here I come! Want to play catch?"
The cat's claws slapped him in the face without any hesitation: "Get lost!"
The third day, the fourth day...
The next year, the big dog learned how to braise the spirit fish and happily brought it to the cat god. The cat god took a lick and pushed it away in disgust: "It's too sweet, meow. I told you not to come over here, go away now."
Only Cat Toy knew how, after the Tengu left, a certain god gnawed all the fish bones clean while complaining that the fish was not tasty.
In the fifth year, the big dog won the battle and carefully brought a pot of grass to Cat Island.
The Cat God accepted it with a reluctant expression and pouted: "It's not bad, it can be planted."
This statement would be quite credible if His tail had not wrapped the flowerpot tightly.
Tengu smirked, "I saw it on my way to a fight, and I figured you'd like it, so I brought it back."
"Why did you help the gods start a war?" Mao Mao fiddled with the leaves, pretending not to care. "He started a war with hell, and gained faith and a lot of treasures. What did he give you?"
"Ah, what do you mean?" Tengu tilted his head in confusion, "Does this cat grass count? But I found it myself."
The Cat God's eyes widened, and this time he even forgot to show his disgust: "The God of Heaven doesn't give you anything, why do you fight for Him?"
Tengu said honestly: "He said if I follow him, there will be a fight, and if I fight, I can win, and if I win, I can get the name of the number one Tengu, so I followed him."
Cat God: “…”
The cat was so angry that it sharpened its claws.
He is no longer the little fool who would blindly trust the sweet-mouthed but treacherous God of Spring when he was just born, but this dog who was born hundreds of years earlier than himself is still a stupid and straightforward person!
"How dare He bully you just because you are stupid! You have to look at the owner before beating the dog! Follow me, we will go to the Temple of the Gods to get the spoils!"
Tengu: "But I don't need trophies. I can fight with my claws and teeth."
"Stop talking nonsense! Follow me!"
So the Tengu followed obediently.
The fighting power of a cat and a dog was so strong that even the gods had to temporarily avoid them. They compromised and gave half of the spoils to the tengu, and then sent them away.
"The gods didn't send any soldiers the whole time, they just tricked you into fighting Hell for them, and in the end they even wanted to take away half of the spoils and all the faith," the Cat God was still unhappy, "It really pissed me off!"
Of course, not only did the Tengu have no demand for the spoils, the cats also hated these scraps. They went to the God to argue just because they couldn't stand Him bullying the dogs. When they returned to Cat Island, they just dug a hole in the earth, threw the things into it, and forgot about it the moment they turned around.
The Tengu actually didn't understand what the cat was angry about. He scratched his ears and had to solve the problem from the root: "Then I won't help him fight in the future."
The Cat God wagged his tail, feeling a little embarrassed after realizing it belatedly.
He said: "I just can't stand the gods, I'm not trying to protect you, don't think too much meow."
The big dog smiled.
This simple dog was very slow most of the time, but sometimes he was extraordinarily sharp. It was like He had challenged all the gods in the entire divine realm, but He only wanted to be friends with the fierce little cat. It was also like the fierce expression of the cat now, anyone who saw it would say run away, but He was the only one who thought it was cute no matter how he looked at it.
"I know, it's not important. Shall we play catch?"
"...I'll throw it very far, you definitely won't be able to catch it, meow!"
"I promise I'll get it."
"real?"
"This Tengu is really powerful! I can pick you up no matter how far away you are. Just wait for me to bring you back!"
"I won't wait for you meow!"
But the kitten waited.
Wait until His big dog comes running from a distance, holding the ball of wool in its mouth, wagging its tail and laughing happily.
The author has something to say:
I originally wanted to write about the fall of the Cat God. He was actually lured out of the gate of hell by Satan using the ball of wool that year, and entered the first layer of hell, where he was attacked by a hellhound in a demented state.
As a fallen god, Hellhound was relatively strong before its strength was repeatedly weakened by the incarnation of power. The Cat God had to use his divine power to resist it.
The cat god who enters the first level of hell and is not inside the gate of hell is considered to be absent from duty. If discovered by the rules of heaven and earth, the agreement will be invalidated and the hellhound will be killed by thunder.
So He did not resist, but in the end He used His power to incarnate and escape from Satan's pursuit carrying the cat toys and the divine nature, and fell into the human world, where He was picked up by Yun Jian as a stray cat that had been in a car accident.
Well, that’s about it. After thinking about it, it’s really too harsh, so I’d better end it with the daily life in the divine realm (lying down)
