Chapter 405 Our Gods Are Different
It started with a strong dizziness accompanied by tinnitus, followed by a stirring feeling of withdrawal. Mao Cao felt as if he was sucked into a fierce vortex of light, his consciousness and body being kneaded and torn by invisible forces.
After she recovered from the discomfort and shock, she arrived at a strange place.
The ground here was made up of smooth colored glaze. On the mirror-like ground, Maocao saw his face with dilated pupils and a slight look of surprise, as well as the cat ears trembling slightly in his black hair.
On the ground condensed by colored glaze, there is a long straight road paved with gold, extending all the way forward.
Maocao was standing on this golden straight road. In front of her stood a number of travelers, most of whom covered their faces with hats or clothes, and most of them gave Maocao a dangerous feeling.
At the far end of both sides of the road stood palaces and pavilions of vague shapes. They were hidden in the clouds, shining brightly and covered with halos of various colors.
The clouds in the sky are also golden, and from time to time you can see some large white flowers flying through the clouds.
Maocao looked around and found the chinchilla right behind her. She breathed a sigh of relief and touched the chinchilla's soft belly with her hand.
She muttered to herself: "Luckily you didn't get lost."
The Blood Demon Totoro's cat eyes swept around: "Lapis Lazuli Land, Golden Road, Seven Treasures Tower... Hey, I seem to have remembered this place when I was alive."
The big cat scratched its head with its paws, and after thinking hard for a while, it opened its vertical pupils and grinned: "I remember now, this is the Liuli Country in the Western Paradise, the area that Amitabha Buddha opened to the public."
Before leaving, Maocao received many instructions from the apostle Isabel. But she only knew that this was a world controlled by the Lord God and a transit station before entering the destination.
She had no idea what kind of place the Western Paradise was.
Maocao was a little curious: "Have you been here?"
"Of course."
Totoro laughed and said, "Many years ago, Lord Yinglong sent me to a divine kingdom to negotiate with the local apostles and introduce some flowers from them."
"I sent you to another kingdom of God just to pick flowers?" Maocao was stunned.
"Don't underestimate it. Gathering the right flowers and plants is a very advanced job in itself."
The chinchilla crossed its paws across its chest. "We need to consider the environment of the transplanted world, whether it is rainy or dry, whether it has more hills and mountains or more plains and forests. For a tasteful and superior kingdom of God, high-quality and diverse flowers and plants are indispensable."
"So this is what you used to do..."
"What do you mean by doing these? I used to be an apostle in charge of purchasing."
Totoro emphasized, "This is a position that only a close confidant can hold."
Maocao glanced at the unfamiliar surroundings and said, "Why don't you talk about the Western Paradise?"
"This is part of the Kingdom of Amitabha Buddha. To be precise, the place where we stand is the "Lure Kingdom" among the seven kingdoms in this world, also known as Vairocana."
Totoro said slowly: "The seven kingdoms are the Kingdom of Gold, the Kingdom of Silver, the Kingdom of Glaze, the Kingdom of Coral, the Kingdom of Clam, the Kingdom of Red Pearl, and the Kingdom of Agate."
"The other six kingdoms are places that cannot be entered. They are the private worlds of the Western Paradise, with the exception of the Glaze Kingdom. Glaze is also called five-colored stone, which represents clarity and brightness. The Glaze Kingdom is also a place to temper one's will and soul, so it is open to the public, so that thousands of divine kingdoms can prove that one's body is like glaze."
"This place is open to the public in order to hone the local believers. The various members of the Kingdom of God who come and go have complicated beliefs, which is a kind of tempering and test for the local believers."
Maocao suddenly realized: "It's like the army of war cats will retain some of the blood clan in the jurisdiction and use them to hone their combat power, right?"
"almost."
Totoro turned his head and said, "The Liuli Kingdom was open to the outside world, and Amitabha never interfered. Later, it gradually became a transit world. The envoys of other divine kingdoms also got used to transiting here."
"See? Those without hair are the locals."
The Blood Demon Totoro raised its broad paw and pointed at a group of people diagonally in front of it.
Maocao looked in the direction it guided.
There was a group of strange people lined up there. They had shaved heads, bald heads, and wore loose gray robes. They had prayer beads hanging around their necks, their hands folded, and they were muttering something.
"Those are monks, male believers of Amitabha Buddha. Female believers are called nuns. I don't know if they have changed their names now." Totoro said casually.
Cat grass is both curious and vigilant.
The group of monks were saying something to a two-headed man who was standing in front of the Seven Treasures Building, and the two-headed man was shaking his head and waving his hands.
Mao Cao whispered, "We are so few in number, and we are at a disadvantage here. If we had asked Miss Isabel to let us bring more people here, we could have spread the faith of God Yao here..."
"Summoner, you need to understand one thing. We are outsiders. It is best not to mess around on someone else's territory."
The Totoro bared his teeth and said, "This time our destination is the Unsleeping Civilization, my summoner."
Maocao nodded: "How are we going to meet the apostle Apia? We have no idea what she looks like. How did you get in touch with each other before?"
"Don't worry, we came here by teleportation scroll. Just follow the traveler in front of you. There will be someone to meet you at the front."
The chinchilla stroked its whiskers with a look of certainty on its face.
Mao Cao walked along the Golden Road Party, walked to the front and crossed a very high threshold. There was a group of people waiting outside.
At this time, a man came over.
"Cat Grass Prophet?"
The one who greeted her was a woman in a white robe, with her hands and feet covered by the wide robe.
She wore a white gauze headdress, her face was frighteningly pale, her eye sockets were sunken under her sleepy eyes, and the smile on her face looked a little scary.
"I'm Apia, who was ordered to come pick you up. Is this... Totoro?"
The other party introduces himself.
Cat Grass asked: "Where are you from, Apia?"
The woman smiled and said, "I am the apostle of the noble Lord Messenger of the Gods, Lord Martyr. I have received the order from the gods to come and welcome you to the Sleepless Civilization. I wonder if this answer will reassure you?"
Maocao said: "Please forgive me if I have offended you. This is a mission given by the gods, and I must ensure that it is correct."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Understood. Please follow me."
Apia and Maocao walked out together and arrived in front of a glazed wall.
She raised her hand and gently slapped the wall, revealing a palm with only bones left, and the halo on the glass wall suddenly spread out.
"The portal has been opened, please come in."
Apia was the first to walk into the wall of colorful light, followed by Cat Grass and Totoro.
…
Arrived at the civilized world of the Sleepless.
Mao Cao looked around.
There are large areas of scorched earth here, and many places seem to have experienced volcanic eruptions. There is a large amount of ash piled up on the ground, and trees are withering and dying in large areas.
The whole world was filled with gloom, and the most common living creatures were walking skeletons. They moved clumsily and mechanically, most of them staggered, and even fell and got stuck in rocks, which was so stupid that it surprised Cat Grass.
Apia next to him said, "The Prophet of Cat Grass, the civilization of the Sleepless Ones was built on the foundation of the previously destroyed agricultural civilization. This place was once glorious for a short time in the past."
"That agricultural civilization is called the Giant Beast Civilization. The people of the previous era were good at taming giant beasts. Through continuous crossbreeding and the use of various foods and medicines, they turned them into more powerful warriors and livestock."
"They have cultivated incredible monsters. Those giant beasts are also quite remarkable in the supernatural realm. Unfortunately, they have broken free from the shackles and whips of the beast trainers... The situation has become very difficult."
Cat Grass's mind flashed with images of giant beasts destroying villages and cities.
"Lord Xianshen saw that the situation was getting worse and worse. If it continued, it would only consume the world's resources, so he applied for the destruction of the world. After obtaining the consent of the Messenger of the Gods, Lord Xianshen used a fireball from the sky to wipe out this failed civilization."
"Then, the Messenger of the Gods placed the [Bone Mound], opening up a new round of civilization, allowing the bone ancestors to gradually revive..."
Apia smiled and said, "Because this is a very young civilization, everything is still in its infancy and the environment is relatively simple. Please bear with us."
Maocao was stunned when he heard this.
Here, the God himself destroyed the civilization He created and protected... This evoked the traditions of the past war cats in its mind.
War Cats don't trust God, because God doesn't trust War Cats either.
"Why should we destroy the giant beast civilization? Isn't there still a chance to save and restore it?" Maocao didn't understand.
"Well……"
Apia showed a puzzled expression: "If a civilization has declined or has no room for growth, it is best to destroy it directly. The usable wonders should be preserved for use or put on the shelf for sale."
"It would be better to create a new civilization. Maybe there will be some surprises. Anyway, as long as the gods are willing, new civilizations can always be born. Saving them is a waste of energy and faith. The cost is high and the return is low..."
Apia suddenly understood something, and an envious expression appeared on her face: "It seems that the civilization you live in has been continuing well. It is worthy of being an advanced civilization under the rule of the Navigator. We here cannot compare with you."
Mao Cao pursed his lips.
No.
Lord Yaoshen is a great god who is trying to revive even the destroyed world.
Our gods are different.
So, is there really anything worth learning here?
Maocao was full of doubts.
