Chapter 667 You are right, but this is Yao Shen
The arrival of the turbulent tide plunged the Twin Snake Merchant Republic into an unprecedentedly long ice age.
The first tidal impact dimmed the sun and moon, the temperature of the entire world dropped sharply, and the wind howled.
The second tidal impact caused the land to move and squeeze violently. New mountain ranges like spines arched and rose on the earth, while some of the original mountains became fragmented, rivers were diverted, and cities were torn apart and swallowed underground...
The whole country is like a layer of heated syrup, bubbling and collapsing constantly.
If the terrain is more favorable, people can migrate to avoid disasters, but long-term snowfall and low temperatures are fatal news that no life can escape.
The seven sirens racked their brains and tried to remedy the situation.
The main god worshipped by the Twin Snake Merchant Republic is the Messenger of the Gods, but the actual governing and ruling god is now the Seven Sirens.
The Seven Sirens had no feelings, including sympathy, towards this civilization composed mainly of goblins and merchants.
The key is not to destroy it in your own hands.
"Even a piece of wood or a piece of stone has its use. This world can be destroyed, but I want to see the value of destruction. Other things are not important, only the benefits are important."
"Do it well, and you will do better than martyring God."
The righteous god [Messenger of the Gods] is as gentle as ever in his oracles.
The Seven Sirens were under tremendous pressure.
[Messenger of the Gods] is a titled god who focuses on business and trade. He is usually very kind, not because he is a kind and tolerant god, but because he never reveals his true intentions. No one can judge whether he is satisfied or dissatisfied, angry or indifferent, humble or hypocritical.
But the Messenger is a very simple god.
As long as it serves His interests, there is no need to worry about anything else.
This righteous God emphasized this more than once in his announcements and instructions to his subordinates.
"I am a god who pursues maximum profit. As long as everyone continues to create profits, all problems can be solved and reconciled. If you cannot create profits, it is a failure."
"It doesn't matter if there is no profit for a while. I have patience and I can wait, but I have to see the long-term value."
“Short-term gains or long-term value, whatever is fine.”
in short.
If everyone fails to do this, they will be kicked out of the chain of civilization by Him.
The thing that the virtual universe lacks the least is gods.
There are gods everywhere who want to join the title god.
The Seven Sirens had followed the Messenger of the Gods for a long time. He knew very well that the reason why this righteous God had tolerated his defection and return in the past was because of his ability to adapt to the situation. The Seven Sirens could deduce the difference in strength between the gods through observation.
So when faced with a stronger god attacking the messenger, the Seven Sirens naturally chose to stand on the side of the stronger one.
It's strange.
Although the Messenger of the Gods has been stumbling along the way and has been threatened, blackmailed, and even attacked by other gods, he has still survived to this day. It must be said that the Messenger of the Gods is a god who knows how to survive.
The Seven Sirens are an observer for the Messenger, allowing him to accurately judge the strength of the enemy and choose the appropriate response strategy. If the Seven Sirens are willing to return, the Messenger will forgive and accept them.
Value is the link between them.
However, the core values of the Seven Sirens no longer exist.
Because the [Messenger of the Gods] now has the support of the behemoth [God Yao].
No matter who the enemy or threat is, it won't be a problem as long as God Yao is on this side.
The messenger only needs to maintain good relations with God Yao and ask Him for help when encountering a crisis. This has become the messenger's most important core security strategy.
So the seven sirens were very anxious.
He always felt that he might be killed at any time... The righteous gods were watching him in secret, and as long as he could not provide new value, he would be killed. This would provide the final value - to be a traitor to other gods.
After taking over the jurisdiction of the Twin Snake Kingdom from the God of Martyrs, the Seven Sirens took a series of measures.
He strictly forbids the apostles from participating in any form of secular affairs. Apostles can only appear in the Twin Snake Merchant Republic with his permission. This is to reduce the disruption of normal order and curb the further expansion of local forces.
He established a local trade responsibility system, requiring merchants to keep a portion of their industries in the Twin Snakes Kingdom, to prevent merchants from migrating and transferring their property after making enough money.
He expanded the scope of tax incentives so that any trade in specific cities in the Twin Snake Kingdom could enjoy corresponding dividends.
…
All these control strategies have played a role. The influx of foreign population in the Twin Snakes has steadily increased, and the connection of specific tax-favored cities has given the entire country a new commercial trade network, stimulating surrounding towns and making the economy more active.
However, all of this was shattered by the turbulent tide.
The secular order that had been painstakingly established was riddled with holes in the face of natural disasters, and the prices of food, winter clothing, heating fuel, etc. skyrocketed and were difficult to curb.
During the disaster period, the profit-seeking nature of merchants became even more crazy, civilians without resources had a hard time surviving, conflicts continued to occur between local groups... The entire country once again returned to the quagmire of chaos, and became more torn and lacking cohesion than at any time in the past.
Although the apostles tried their best to rescue and maintain stability, the number of new deaths increased day by day. A large number of merchants fled to the Resurrection Kingdom early, and no one in the upper class wanted to stay and persist. Most of those who stayed were poor civilians, and they were also becoming numb and desperate. Theft, robbery and fighting became more and more frequent.
This country is on the road to existence in name only.
All the efforts of gods and civilizations are nothing compared to the natural disasters sweeping across the Leap Zone.
Thinking of this, the Seven Sirens felt upset.
He turned his attention back to the temple.
Everyone was waiting quietly in their respective statues.
As with previous meetings at the shrine, the six gods did not communicate with each other.
After another long and boring wait, the long-awaited oracle finally sounded above the dome of the temple.
"Mr. Butterfly, you go first."
The person named by the messenger was the ruler of the logging country.
The statue of Mr. Butterfly resembles a butterfly, except that the large wings behind him hang down and are gathered like a cloak.
The Butterfly Lord's ethereal voice came from the statue: "Lord Zhengshen, the short-term reserves of firewood in the logging country are sufficient, but a large number of forest areas have to be cut down on a large scale due to the shortage of fuel and materials to supply other worlds. According to the current consumption, it is estimated that it can support another 20 years. But considering that the turbulent tide will continue to have impacts and aftermath, this time may have to be reduced."
"I have ordered the elves to speed up the ripening of the trees, but the sun only appears for one-tenth of the time each day, so the trees are growing much slower than before. In addition, the climate is getting colder and some trees that require warm climates are having difficulty growing. A reduction in production is inevitable. It is expected that the forest areas in the logging countries will gradually reduce production until it is reduced to about half."
"Um."
The [Messenger of the Gods] said again: "Master of the Mountain, how are the mineral reserves?"
"Replying to Lord Zhengshen, the deep ore deposits in the mining country have been partially moved and changed, and new exploration and reconstruction of the mining area are needed."
"The situation on the surface and in shallow mines is much more serious. Sandstorms, earthquakes and landslides have caused the death and disappearance of more than 3,000 miners. Meteorites and dust storms are also falling from the sky from time to time... Under normal circumstances, the existing fuel and material ores can supply the world for about 120 years. Considering that the population of various countries is continuously declining, this time may be extended."
"However, due to the continued winter and the subsequent tidal impact, the mining country will become even colder and mining will become very difficult. My conservative estimate is that the ore reserves can only last about 70 years to supply five worlds."
The mountain god is the governing god of the mining country. His upper body is like a human and his lower body is like a sheep.
He added: "If the situation in each country is extremely serious, I suggest moving it to a mining country for centralized management. There are some special fuels and rock formations that cannot be mined locally, but they can be burned locally for heating."
The Seven Sirens' hearts sank when they heard this.
Timber production in logging countries has decreased, while ore supply in mining countries has tightened.
The Twin Snakes Kingdom is a country that is extremely dependent on external imports. If it cannot obtain these two important import resources, a large number of civilians will freeze to death in this winter that has no end.
Of course the gods can perform miracles to raise the temperature.
But the premise of performing miracles is to be able to solve the problem. At present, there is no way to solve the turbulent tides caused by the outside world, which only continues to consume the fire of faith.
If a civilization cannot provide faith and population to the gods, but instead consumes the gods, its only fate is to be abandoned and restarted.
The next person to be named was King Makumu.
His statue is shaped like an oval black shadow, like a thin sheet vertical to the ground. This is because his true form is the [Shadow Lord], belonging to the undead and shadow life, and also a natural god.
"The Warrior State cut spending and carried out large-scale disarmament, retaining only 10% of the permanent troops."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"In order to prevent these warriors from becoming thieves and rebels, I have managed to contact the outside world and encourage the warriors to join the army of the Resurrection Kingdom."
"In other respects, the Warrior Nation can still tolerate it."
King Makumu doesn't talk much.
[The Messenger of the Gods] hummed.
Then it was the turn of the martyr to report.
"All the key talents registered in the Fengxing world have been moved underground."
He said: "The tidal impact caused the long-term disappearance of the sun and the moon, dark monsters appeared in large numbers, and the sightings of demon altars became more frequent."
The seven sirens felt relieved.
It seems that the situation in Fengxing Realm is much worse than that in the Twin Snake Kingdom.
Demons are like rats and cockroaches that cannot be killed. Once their traces are found, they will have already spread everywhere. Once the demons target you, it is difficult to completely eradicate demon worship. This is because they always have various ways to seduce people and firmly grasp the strongest desires of all kinds of life.
Among the messenger civilizations, the Twin Snakes and the Wind Realm have the highest status.
The former represents the absolute core of secular civilization, while the latter is the place where messengers collect various talented people.
Before being martyred, he was imprisoned in the Kingdom of Resurrection. It may sound shocking that a god was arrested and imprisoned, but in the eyes of the gods, it was not a big deal.
Everyone knows that the sacrifice of gods was an attempt at a high-risk, high-return approach - secretly using the achievements of the Yao civilization for localized improvements, but it just failed.
It was considered extremely lucky not to be executed by the terrifying God Yao.
Because of this imprisonment, the seven sea monsters guarding the Wind Realm became the successors of the Martyr God and went to the Twin Snake Kingdom. After the Martyr God was released from prison, he came to the Wind Realm.
When the two sides switch places, many things are afraid of comparison.
Seeing that the martyr was not having a good time, the seven sirens felt relieved.
He even laughed out loud in his heart.
"Seven Sirens."
After being called, the Seven Sirens immediately talked about the situation on their side.
"…We don't know how long the turbulent tide will last, and the overall environment will only get worse. If we use conventional means to abandon or directly destroy one or both civilizations to reduce resource consumption, it will not change the status quo."
He paused and said, "I think we should seek an alliance with the Yao civilization."
"The Resurrection Kingdom, a branch of the Yao civilization, has abundant reserves of various resources, and the White Bone Ancestors' demand for food is almost negligible. They have a new type of local food called [Ice Tooth Potatoes]. This species relies on extremely cold environments. The colder the environment, the better it grows. If we can introduce it, it will greatly alleviate the food pressure."
"The next item is the Resurrection Kingdom's [Kite Hut]. This item is the best choice for avoiding disasters on the ground, and we also need it."
"Then there is the Mystic Kingdom, which is managed by the Resurrection Kingdom. It is now becoming a seafood country. The local god sent by the God Yao, the [Ominous Water Fairy], used water monsters and water fairies to build settlements underwater and cultivate a large number of deep-sea fish."
"The most important thing is that the [Demon Association] over there has made great achievements in cleaning up illegal demons. I heard that a complete demon once appeared over there and has been subdued by God Yao. If we can ask the [Demon Association] for help, the current situation of demon worship in Fengxing Realm should be alleviated."
The seven sirens glanced at the martyred statue.
“But this is not enough to solve the underlying problem.”
The Seven Sea Monsters no longer concealed their intentions: "I suggest that we take this opportunity to formally request to be incorporated into the Yao Clan civilization and become a subsidiary civilization chain of God Yao. This is our best option at the moment and the way to maximize our benefits."
The gods were silent.
The Seven Sea Monsters continued, "As far as I know, God Yao doesn't trust foreign gods. But there are precedents of outsiders joining, such as the subordinate civilizations of the distant area [Ghost Realm] and [Zhu Lu Kingdom], which also became the outer circle of Yao civilization."
"The key is to show enough value and sincerity, and be willing to start from the outside and do it little by little."
When it comes to changing one's stance according to the situation and knowing when to surrender, the Seven Sirens do not think they will lose to any god.
"That's impossible."
However, Xianshen questioned: "I have been in the Resurrection Kingdom for many years, and I can tell you for sure that Yao Shen is very cautious about title gods of the size of Lord Zhengshen. The Yao tribe appears radical and open on the outside, but the internal order and culture, especially in terms of faith, are very conservative and cautious."
"I can't find any reason why God Yao would be willing to truly accept our entire chain of civilizations."
The Seven Sea Monsters smiled slightly: "You are right, but this is God Yao."
"The important thing is to show the Lord God the fact that we are weak, so that He can see that we really need help and are willing to follow His will. Since you know about the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, you should know why the gods of those two kingdoms did not get the same status as the Water Fairy?"
"The fundamental reason is that God Yao does not need so many highly identical subsidiary civilizations. The aquatic race managed by the Water Fairy can build a complete ocean civilization, which is lacking in the Yao clan. The Ghost Realm is a kind of undead, and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom is just a plant monster. The Yao clan does not lack ground forces."
"Our advantage lies in Lord Zhengshen's management ability and trading channels. The Messenger Civilization can serve as a propeller for the Yao Clan Civilization, accelerating them through pure business and economy... This is our unique value."
Joining a powerful main god camp is in line with the core interests of the gods' messengers and is also desired by all gods.
Martyred for God without saying a word.
"Of course, I also think that this is not easy. But even if we cannot get consent, at least our attitude has been made clear. God Yao values attitude, integrity and frankness. What we have to do is to sell frankness and attitude, tell Him everything, and become what God Yao needs and likes."
The Seven Sirens concluded: "Even if we fail, it will be much easier if we ask God Yao for help at this time."
"Well said."
The Messenger of the Gods finally spoke.
"Seven Sirens, follow me to the Resurrection Kingdom."
"Yes, sir."
The seven sirens took one look at the numb martyr statue and felt proud.
I have devoted myself to the study of Yao God for many years and formed a special apostolic team to collect and study "Yao Theology".
You, a love-brained person who is involved with an apostle, want to fight me? This makes me laugh to death.
