Chapter 381: Many things in the past and present are just jokes

The bird spirit spoke half in prose and half in vernacular, sometimes interspersed with small stories and time jumps. Lu Yao was afraid of missing something in his memory, so he copied and pasted what it said into a txt document.

After some effort, he sorted out the bird spirit's story in chronological order.

…

The Stork Pattern Clan is said to be descendants of Kunpeng.

Kunpeng roams among countless worlds and is a mythical beast that is transcendental to all living beings. Kun and Peng actually refer to two stages of the same species.

Kun is a big fish that lives in the ocean and is as big as a whale. When in the ocean, Kun thinks he is a fish. If he cannot get rid of his primitive ignorance, he will gradually become a real fish, only knowing how to play and hunt in the water.

But if Kun could enter the sea, look up at the sky, and listen to the sounds from the distant stars, it would understand that it came from heaven.

After evolution, the big fish-like Kun will break out of its scales and become a Peng that soars above the sky.

At that time, Kunpeng will rise against the wind, and it will leave the small ocean where it previously lived and fly into the vast and infinite virtual and real universe.

As descendants of Kunpeng, the Stork Pattern Clan has wings and can fly and dive into the water. Their vision and hearing are far superior to other creatures, and they can also communicate with ghosts. They are a group with extremely excellent initial abilities.

The Stork-Marked Clan has the ability to fly, which inherently gives them a superiority over many wild beasts. Those stronger than them cannot fly into the sky, but the birds of prey in the sky dare not provoke the Stork-Marked Clan who are smart and vengeful.

The tribe developed smoothly and rapidly. The Stork Pattern Tribe learned to paint pictures of storks and fish on the mountain walls. This was also what they imagined their ancestors to look like. They had never seen a real Peng.

But they met a Kun.

The big fish sensed that the Stork Pattern Clan were related to itself by blood, so it was very kind to them. For a long time, the Stork Pattern Clan accompanied Kun.

However, when it was transforming into Peng, Kun failed. It only shed half of its scales before it died of exhaustion.

The Stork-patterned tribe was very sad. They did not want to see Kun being eaten by other fish and birds, so they worked together to move the body of the big fish to land and buried Kun on a mountain near the sea.

To thank them, Kun's ghost did not leave, but turned into the original stork burial spirit and became the guardian spirit of the stork pattern tribe.

This is also the original prototype of the [Stork and Mayfly Tank].

The Stork Civilization was founded on the cliffs of high mountains. Due to their extraordinary talents, they were able to build camps and settlements in extremely dangerous places, and the wild beasts on the ground could hardly reach these cliffs.

The Stork-patterned tribe, who controlled the sky, marched towards the ground. They drove out the wild beasts, conquered the savages, assimilated and integrated the extraordinary creatures, and established a brilliant and unique civilization and culture.

The tops of the mountains have been transformed into city clusters by the Stork Pattern Tribe. They fly freely all over the world. There is no place in the world they cannot go. They are the kings of the world.

After confirming their leadership in the world, the Stork Tribe began to devote themselves to creating inventions in order to enjoy a more convenient and comfortable life.

They lit bonfires, collected trees, grass and oil, made and stored charcoal, and used fire for warmth and cooking.

They have superb leather making technology. The wind is strong and the temperature is low at high altitudes, and the leather is light and close to the body, making it the most suitable clothing material for the Stork Pattern Tribe to travel.

They controlled hawks and seabirds, which became their eyes and flying hounds, patrolling the world for them and sowing various seeds on the earth, allowing nature to mature grains and fruits.

They love painting, sculpture and architecture, and the tall mountains are covered with murals of the stork tribe. They pile up and carve huge stone statues of storks and fish, hoping that one day, if Kunpeng passes by, he will see them greeting him on the mountain.

…

Among all the skills mastered by the Guanwen people, they have a special liking for pottery.

According to the bird spirit, it is mainly due to the characteristics of pottery itself. Pottery is a utensil made of clay or pottery. Before it is fired, it is soft and primitive. After firing, it will become extraordinary. It is like the growth from Kun to Peng.

After a long time, the Guanwen tribe gradually developed the custom of burying people in pottery jars.

They buried the bodies of their fellow tribesmen in a jar, covered it with a lid after embalming it, and fixed the jar on the cliff. The living hoped that in this way, the dead could break free from the shackles of the world and fly into the sky like their ancestors.

The burial site was the mountain where Kun was buried before.

The Stork Funeral Spirit protects the ghosts of the Stork Pattern Clan, comforts them, listens to them, and lets them sleep peacefully in the Sea of ​​Sinking, never to disturb the world of the living again.

After sixteen eras, the Stork Pattern Tribe established a vast mountain civilization.

They brought the savages to the plains with rivers and taught them to plant seeds and hunt; they also helped the islanders on the sea to drive away the wild beasts that hunted them, and taught them the techniques of pottery making, woodcutting and leather tanning...

These tribes all became vassals of the Stork Pattern Tribe. They offered tributes of food, leather and various minerals, and the Stork Pattern Tribe protected their safety.

The Stork Pattern Tribe had a clear goal; they had found a way to ensure long-term stability and prosperity for their civilization.

"Let those who come from the earth return to the earth, let those who live on the sea settle on the sea, and let those who live in the sky continue to rule the sky and all things."

During this process, the Stork Pattern Clan also encountered many challenges, including internal divisions, vassal rebellions, climate anomalies, challenges from extraordinary beings... They solved these problems without any danger and continued to lead all life as the Lords of the World.

The [Stork and Mayfly Jar] was gradually formed under the nurturing of generations of tribesmen and the entire civilization system, and became the symbol and bond of the stork-pattern civilization.

In the eighteenth era, the world where the Stork Pattern Clan lived was invaded by foreign gods.

It was originally an unowned world with a vast territory and rich species, and it had never been interfered with by gods before.

But such a place is a piece of fat meat in the eyes of the deity and will never be let go.

The god with the title of "Watcher" sent out the army of God led by apostles to try to conquer this world.

Faced with the invasion, the Stork Pattern Tribe launched the toughest counterattack.

They organized warriors, repelled the enemy several times, defeated the enemy's main force in two consecutive large-scale battles, and killed five apostles under the command of the Watcher.

After seeing this, Lu Yao had a preliminary understanding of the fighting power of the Stork Pattern Clan.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Faced with the army sent by the titled gods, they chose to fight hard and killed 5 apostles... This means that their combat power is far beyond that of ordinary gods, at least it is absolutely beyond the reach of the God Bo and the Ben Cavalry.

In this world war, the Stork-patterned tribe also paid a heavy price. A large number of their warriors died on the battlefield. Their bodies were buried in pottery jars on the mountain where Kun was sleeping.

[Lookout] did not give up, but sent out a larger number of reinforcements.

This time the army is led by two demigods, with seven high-level apostles as commanders, and more elite soldiers than before. It is obvious that they want to take over this ownerless world in one fell swoop.

The Stork Pattern Clan's combat power has been greatly depleted, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to cope with the escalating intensity of the war.

The enemy's soldiers seemed endless, and it was difficult to fight against the huge chain of civilization controlled by the titled gods with the power of one world.

The Stork Pattern Clan collected more and more corpses, and the available warriors became fewer and fewer. They prayed angrily and sadly, begging the Stork Mayfly Tank to convey their voices to Kunpeng in the sky. They hoped that the ancestors would show up and drive away the powerful and dangerous enemy.

What responded to them was not their ancestors, but the resonance of war drums from the immortal wonder, the pottery jar burial.

That day, the entire world was filled with responses from far away.

Distinct drum sounds echoed in the valley, on the sea, among the woods, on the cliffs... They were sounds from different places, originating from different pottery jar burial civilizations.

The resonance of civilizations from countless worlds was deafening through the pottery jar burials, and the thunderous sound of war drums also brought a magnificent force that traveled through time and space.

These forces converged into a river and merged into the [Stork and Mayfly Tank], turning the bird spirit into a huge white bird that blocked out the sky and the sun. At that moment, it seemed to have transformed into the ancient Kunpeng.

The powerful force of the resonance and overlap of numerous civilizations converges into a fist that is waved toward the gods.

The stork was burning like the sun, and it flapped its wings and flew away from this world, never to return. From then on, the man who was the "Watcher" never appeared in this world again.

Many years later, a new stork spirit was revived from the stork mayfly tank, but it had no memory of its previous life.

The ghost of Kun, who once sheltered the Stork Pattern Clan, attacked with self-annihilation in exchange for the dignity and continuation of the Stork Pattern civilization.

Many years passed.

The Stork Pattern Civilization mastered the immortal wonder of the [Stork and Mayfly Jar]. They used resonance to find other civilizations and used jar burials to breed and strengthen burial spirits. The stork and fish burial spirits became an integral part of the civilization.

They began to seek to break through the boundaries of the world and enter the vast outer space.

Just when the Stork Civilization was ambitiously preparing to take a further step, their world was captured by Tai Sui.

Different from the previous dealings with the titled gods, this time there was no war or confrontation, only a moment of darkness, and the entire world was destroyed.

The pride and honor of ruling the sky in the past, the ambition to rebel against the gods, and even the endless imagination of the future, all came to nothing on that ordinary day.

Only the broken stork and mayfly jar remains, and the bird spirit is still telling stories of the past.

“…This is the history of the demise of the Stork Pattern Clan.”

"To know what happens next, please wait for the next chapter."

The stork nodded its thanks to the onlookers around it, then flapped its wings and disappeared without a trace.
