Emerging from the darkest days of famine was Murdoch, who brought hope like a savior.
He claimed that the gift he received from the gods was a piece of flesh that could constantly regenerate and multiply itself.
Then, everyone on the sacrificial island saw it—
When Murdoch took out a knife and cut the piece of meat that was placed on the high platform.
People saw that every time Murdoch made a cut in that piece of meat...
The meat will quickly grow back the cut-off portion at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It is like an inexhaustible treasure mountain.
Everyone on the sacrificial island can use it to live a very prosperous life.
And that piece of meat seemed to be brimming with some kind of inexhaustible vitality.
It was a piece of meat that would never "die," forever maintaining a kind of "life" and "vitality."
At that time, Alice, who was being ostracized, also received a piece of meat from Murdoch.
With her emotional perception and mind-reading abilities, Alice was able to sense the malice Murdoch felt when he gave her pieces of meat.
Moreover, perhaps it was out of concern for Alice's mind-reading ability.
Murdoch did not have direct contact with Alice when he gave her the pieces of meat.
Aside from sensing that although the other person's face was full of smiles, it was actually filled with malice towards her.
Alice did not understand Murdoch's true thoughts at that time.
At the time, the people on the sacrificial island mostly treated her in the same way as Murdoch.
Alice silently accepted the piece of meat, which was said to be a gift from the gods.
Moreover, due to hunger, Alice was like most of the people present.
He devoured the entire piece of meat that had been distributed on the spot.
The gifts bestowed by the gods may indeed be rare delicacies in this world.
At that time, Alice ate that piece of meat that grew in a rather strange way.
The taste was exceptionally delicious.
However, the way the meat exists, is preserved, and is used may be somewhat peculiar.
However, aside from its ability to continuously grow and replenish itself.
Both in appearance and taste, that piece of meat was just like a piece of fresh fish.
Since then, Murdoch, who solved the island's famine problem, has enjoyed immense prestige on the island.
From then on, Murdoch officially renamed the nameless island where his family had lived for generations as "Sacrifice Island".
The meaning is that this island is a place of worship for the gods who gave them help in their time of despair.
And that became the object of worship for the people on the sacrificial island from that time onward.
This is the same god born from the ocean—the Lord of the Ocean and Storms.
In the years following the resolution of the famine problem on the sacrificial island.
Murdoch, now adorned with blue and white paint resembling some ancient totem, has acquired a new identity—High Priest.
In addition to the enormous, "life-giving" chunk of meat that was initially bestowed by the gods, people also performed sacrificial rites.
As the only being capable of communicating with the divine, Murdoch also received another gift from the divine—
Methods to control sea monsters.
In fact, incidents of sea monsters attacking fishermen at sea in the waters near the sacrificial island have become increasingly frequent.
This is precisely why the island of worship fell into famine at that time.
Therefore, after obtaining this method, the development of the sacrificial island seemed to become increasingly prosperous.
Under the protection of the Lord of the Ocean and Storms, the people of the Sacrifice Island are much less likely to encounter danger when they go out to sea.
The small fishing village, which originally relied solely on fishing for a living, has now developed related tourism.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe also recalled the scene when he first heard the name "Murdoch"—
It was the name of the owner of the company that Vivian had mentioned when he introduced him to information about the Oasis of the Seas.
According to the other party's account at the time, the reason why the Ocean Oasis was able to enter and exit the Devil's Sea safely and freely was because of this.
It seems that this was because Murdoch, the owner of the construction company, reached some kind of deal with the residents of the shrine island.
But now it seems that Murdoch was actually from the island of rites.
Moreover, compared to the residents of the sacrificial island who, according to rumors, seem to possess methods for safe survival in the Devil's Sea, they are different.
Gu Xinghe felt that others probably didn't really understand these methods.
Only Murdoch, who had always been in charge of matters concerning gods and rituals, knew it all.
After mastering this method, Murdoch even established a company on the mainland after leaving the shrine island.
They established a connection between the sacrificial island and the outside world by building the Ocean Oasis.
Now, looking at Gu Xinghe, who seemed deep in thought.
He seemed to be pondering the piece of meat in the "movie story" that would never diminish.
In fact, for someone hearing such a "story" for the first time...
It's not surprising to be curious about such an inexhaustible "food bank".
Therefore, when Alice saw that Gu Xinghe seemed to be thinking about something, she was quite surprised.
He only temporarily put his hand down, without intending to probe Gu Xinghe's current thoughts and ideas.
However, Alice, who has never liked mind reading, gave up this direct form of communication.
However, they did not give up on the "indirect" method of asking questions verbally.
Moreover, in her interactions with Gu Xinghe, she actually preferred the latter.
At that moment, Alice leaned closer to Gu Xinghe with a curious expression and asked.
What is Xinghe thinking about? Is he thinking about that strange piece of meat?
"Well, I'm a little curious."
After receiving Gu Xinghe's approval, Alice simply showed an extremely beautiful smile.
She gently swept her hair behind her shoulders, revealing her smooth and radiant skin.
At this moment, she gathered her hair, tilted her head slightly, and moved closer to Gu Xinghe.
Like prey voluntarily offering its neck to the predator's mouth.
"So, are you going to eat me? If it's a galaxy, then yes, you can."
Upon seeing the girl's figure at that moment.
Upon learning that the piece of meat would never diminish and seemed to contain some astonishing "vitality" and "life force".
Gu Xinghe remembered—
In various legends about mermaids, it is said that eating mermaid flesh will grant immortality.
