Chapter 63 When the God of Light Falls
For a long time, the natives on the island lived a carefree life.
There is an abundance of food on this large island: berry bushes cover the ground, dense coconut trees grow along the beach, and there are many shells, fish and crabs washed up on the seashore.
The little people can fill their stomachs by relying on God alone.
They worship a friendly and gentle god, Myojin.
Whenever the little people encounter difficulties that they cannot cope with, the God of Myōjin will send down his blessings. He sends rain on hot days, disperses huge waves with strong winds, and disperses continuous heavy rain with sunshine.
Under the blessing of the gods, the people of the Mingyue tribe live every day in ease and comfort.
The gods bestowed a seed called "wheat" on the islanders, and the islanders began to try to grow food. But they didn't care much because there was no shortage of food on the island.
The appearance of wheat was a new delicacy for the Mingyue tribe, but it also attracted the attention of a large group of seabirds. They loved wheat much more than the tribe's little people, and often flocked to eat the wheat ears.
Soon, the Mingyue tribe was plagued by flocks of birds. Many of these birds came from far away just for a bite of delicious wheat.
For this reason, the Mingyue tribe even prayed and cried to the gods.
Myojin simply blew the wind to scatter the birds, as if to comfort them.
No one knows when a strange little monster started to grow in the wheat fields. The tribal prophet learned from God that they were called "barnyard monsters".
The barnyard grass monster was born from weeds and is thinner than a bug. A single barnyard grass monster is no different from an ordinary weed, except that it can twist its body and press down the surrounding grass to gain more sunlight and soil nutrients.
But once there are more of these weed monsters, they will huddle together tightly.
In the dead of night, the leaves of the barnyard grass entangle with each other. They weave a huge web on the ground, strangling other plants around them, occupying large areas of soil and overhead sunlight.
They are also good at camouflage.
The weeds are growing more and more like wheat. They hide in the wheat fields, strangling the wheat and replacing it to gain the attention of the farmers.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for the Mingyue tribe to distinguish which are weed monsters and which are wheat.
The angry tribesmen tried all kinds of methods, including burning, flooding and burying, in an attempt to eradicate the grass monster.
They did get rid of large tracts of weed monsters, but these little monsters had already spread all over the island, in the cracks of rocks, on the beach, in the water, on the trees... Unless the entire island was burned to ashes, they would not disappear at all.
The islanders were helpless against this little monster.
At this time, the Mingyue tribe found out that the seeds of the barnyard grass monster were brought to the island by birds. These barnyard grass monsters had no natural enemies here, so they continued to grow and quickly transformed into the dominant species they are today.
The God of Light gave the prophet a revelation: Go to the sea and look for new land.
But as soon as they entered the ocean, the Mingyue tribe was blockaded by the Donghai clan on the water.
The Mingyue tribe could only build a simple wooden raft, which was completely outclassed by the Donghai clan's canoe in terms of speed and flexibility. The underwater sea monsters were watching closely, so the Mingyue tribe dared not go into the water and had to retreat to land.
The two bullied islanders prayed to God again, hoping to escape the disaster.
The god could not bear to see the little people in the tribe suffer, so he performed another miracle.
He used the treasure to create a special potion.
This magic potion transformed the rats on the island into "Crazy Lemmings", which launched a frenzied attack on the weed monsters, gnawing on all the weed monsters they could see.
Facing the hunting of crazy lemmings, barnyard grass monsters had no power to fight back. This time they finally suffered a devastating blow, being eaten by the rats and turned into feces, and could never be resurrected.
The little people of the Mingyue tribe were extremely excited when they saw the rat group winning victory after victory.
However, the good times did not last long.
The barnyard grass monsters that were all over the island were almost completely cleared, but the crazy lemmings did not stop there. They began to eat other plants, whether it was wheat, weeds or coconut trees, the mice ate them all.
The Mingyue Tribe watched helplessly as the [Weed Monster] was replaced by the [Crazy Lemming], and they were still powerless to do anything.
Rats are more difficult to deal with than weed monsters. They move very fast, burrow, hide, and even swim and dive.
When there are few lemmings, they will hide from people. But when there are more lemmings, they will no longer be afraid of people and will walk around the streets in a big way, even sneaking into the houses of the tribe to steal food.
As the rat population continues to grow, the lemmings' appetite becomes stronger and stronger.
Finally, that day came.
The rats began to hunt the islanders on a large scale.
Faced with the crisis of life and death, the Mingyue tribe also burst out with unprecedented courage and ruthlessness. They took wooden spears and stones and killed batches of mice.
Unfortunately, people get scared and tired, and one less person dies.
The rat swarms were endless.
Their fertility far exceeds that of humans, and they have been transformed by magic potions to become crazy and tireless. Dead mice will become food for other mice, becoming the basis for the birth of the next generation. They eat each other without any burden.
The rats gradually forced humans to the statue of Myojin on the mountain.
The gods were extremely angry.
The god Ming Shen sent down lightning and hurricanes, and the fire and strong wind caused by the lightning wiped out the rats all over the mountains. However, these corpses would not be wasted at all, and became food for other crazy lemmings.
This tenacious little animal relies on utter madness and super-fast reproduction ability to fight against the power of the gods.
One day, the gods could no longer send lightning.
Myojin is tired.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Countless crazy lemmings finally rushed up the mountain and completely submerged the last humans and statues.
The Mingshen, who lost all his believers, also came to the time of his demise.
…
After reading the history of Mingyue Island’s decline, Lu Yao’s first feeling was that it was outrageous.
The Mingyue tribe is outrageous.
This player named Ming Shen is also outrageous.
The destruction of Mingyue Island revealed the wrong operation method of a god player.
Overprotecting believers will not only consume a lot of players' faith, but also increase the believers' dependence on gods.
Most of the villains in the tribal era were not very intelligent, so Lu Yao was not surprised by their lazy behavior. Before the Garlic Tribe was beaten, they also lay flat one by one.
The core problem is that there is something wrong with the player's Mingshen thinking.
Lu Yao has now figured out a set of operational ideas: God players need to use faith to make rational use of miracles, boost the progress of civilization at critical moments, and keep a certain distance from believers at ordinary times.
This not only allows believers to learn to be self-reliant, but also gives players more room for operation.
Mingyue Island has good starting conditions. If the Mingshen can create some natural disasters and exert pressure, then the villains on the island will naturally feel the crisis of survival.
They will learn to build stronger houses to protect them from wind and rain.
They would learn to farm or raise fish to obtain a more stable food source.
They would study shipbuilding, and with ships for sailing, they would have a way to understand the outside world.
These are all steps in the right direction.
However, Ming Shen did not have the patience to wait and chose the most wrong path.
He used the [Broken Potion Crucible] to make potions and created crazy lemmings to deal with the weed monsters, but was eventually attacked by the crazy lemmings, resulting in the loss of both people and land... Throughout the entire process, the Mingyue Tribe was of no use at all, and like a giant baby, they only knew how to demand from the gods.
It is really ironic that God is defeated by the monster he created.
Lu Yao suddenly thought of it.
If the weed monsters and crazy lemmings enter the garlic tribe, can they be dealt with? Isabel replied: "Sir, in the area where the garlic tribe is located, farmers have already learned how to deal with weeds."
"Insects often eat crops in farmland, and birds hunt them. Rats are also food for various animals in the forest... It's not as closed as here. The order there is very normal."
Lu Yao thought so too.
The subjective initiative and responsiveness of the Garlic Tribe are not comparable to those of the villains living on Mingyue Island.
They faced the threat of the Forest Tribe right from the start, and had battles with the Donghe Tribe, the Yanchi Tribe, the Donghai Clan, and even many monsters. It could be said that they were walking on thin ice all the way.
Human muscles and resilience are gained through repeated tough battles.
