What Lu Ban did was very simple.
Transfer as many people as possible to the sea, to where Shenying is.
At the same time, the monarchy system of this world will be completely destroyed.
Although classes will arise wherever there are people, and there will be rulers and the ruled, Lu Ban has brought all the power in this world to the Washima Taisha.
He must ensure the inheritance of the priestess and the inviolability of the divinity of the Son of God. Only in this way will there be a steady supply of sacrifices dedicated to Xia and the control of the Pure Fire be maintained.
The speed at which the filth affected the island was far beyond Lu Ban's imagination. Within a few months, the island had become a devastated place.
Those once powerful countries were destroyed in an instant, the once prosperous mountains and rivers turned into filthy forbidden areas, and all lives were lost. The world's population was reduced by more than half in a short period of time.
The Kazushima Taisha Shrine was also established in the midst of disaster.
Those torii, porches, and pavilions rose from the ground and were built on the branches of the sacred cherry trees.
Many more people from all over the world are heading towards the island where the Wajima Taisha Shrine is located.
The top of the Wajima Taisha Shrine is known as the abode of the Son of God.
Looking at the towering attic, Lu Ban had a feeling that it was as he expected.
The courtyard where he is now will become the coffin for the ashes of the Son of God in the future. It will be empty and devoid of any life.
And that magnificent attic will destroy more lives, ideals, and hopes in exchange for the world's continued survival.
This makes one wonder, is it really worth it?
In the empty main hall, Lu Ban and Bao Bao sat opposite each other.
"It's really troublesome. I can only keep a serious face in front of those people. It's better to be more relaxed this way."
Baobao was not sitting, but lying on the ground, with her two slender legs swaying like a teenage girl.
"You don't have to act."
Lu Ban commented.
“But it’s more fun this way.”
Leopard sat up and moved a little closer.
"I just like this immersive feeling. You get what you sow. Isn't that what you humans often say?"
"Yeah?"
Lu Ban replied calmly.
Lu Ban found it difficult to comment on what Baobao did.
She herself is the incarnation of a chaotic and indescribable evil god. As long as she is willing, all the sacrifices and destructions of the island can be reversed, and even Xia, the future Momiji and Amber can all be saved.
But she made it all happen.
It can be said that Leopard, who could save the world or destroy the world, chose the most torturous way.
Perhaps this is the difference between the Outer Gods and human thinking.
Don't try to control, rely on, or trust these guys, they only act for their own purposes.
Thinking of this, Lu Ban heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Baobao sat up straight again, looking holy.
The door was pushed open, and a young woman in white clothes and red hakama walked in.
She was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with short black hair. She looked childish, but also calm and capable.
"Sir Shenzi, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
The witch glanced at Lu Ban and lowered her head again.
"Bring them all up."
Baobao said this in a serious tone. Upon hearing this, the witch picked up the plate and placed the relatively simple food in front of Baobao.
Baobao picked up the cutlery and took a look at the dinner, which was more than enough for three people.
Various meats including fish and chicken, as well as vegetables, fruits and soups are rich and delicious, exuding an enticing aroma.
"so much?"
Baobao has complained before that this is not worshipping the Son of God, it is simply raising pigs.
Not to mention that she herself does not need to eat to obtain nutrition, even if it is for enjoyment, in the context of this era, such a diet is enough to be called luxurious.
"This is in accordance with the royal family's standards... I have told the kitchen to make it as light and elegant as possible, but they are worried that the Son of God may not be satisfied, so..."
The witch's voice was soft and a little timid.
"Those emperors probably only eat one bite of each dish."
Lu Ban explained.
"It is said that this is to prevent poisoning. If a dish is eaten twice, it will definitely not be seen the next day."
“That’s pretty pitiful.”
Baobao sighed and looked at the witch again.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"…Replying to Master Shenzi, not yet."
The witch lowered her head and answered tremblingly.
"Then let's eat together. I can't finish it anyway."
Leopard said, placing the bowl in her hands.
"This, this is not in accordance with etiquette..."
The witch looked very frightened and quickly refused.
"You don't obey my orders?"
Baobao immediately lowered his voice.
"No, I don't dare."
The witch bowed her head hastily and apologized.
"Bring two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, the three of us will eat together."
Leopard ordered.
The witch could only fetch two more sets of bowls and chopsticks and sit between Bao Bao and Lu Ban, feeling a little awkward.
"Eat whatever you want."
Leopard said.
The witch picked up a piece of green leaf, put it into her mouth, chewed it carefully, and glanced at Leopard from time to time, fearing that she had done something wrong.
"Eat more meat. Look at your body."
Baobao immediately picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl.
The witch looked at Lu Ban somewhat at a loss.
"Eat it."
Lu Ban avoided looking at the other person's amber eyes and said in a deep voice.
The witch then picked up the fish in the bowl, put it into her mouth, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"tasty……"
"I remember you were just a civilian before?"
Lu Ban asked.
"Yes, my parents are farmers. I have been a little different since I was a child, so..."
The witch quickly put down her chopsticks and told her story.
She has possessed some extraordinary powers since she was a child. She can not only see the flow of wind veins in the atmosphere, but also predict the harvest of farmland. As she grows older, she can even control the weather within a certain range. So when the filth creatures were causing chaos, she was sent to the great god Hedao, and after being selected, she became one of the priestesses, serving Leopard.
After dinner, the witch cleaned up the dishes and was stopped by Leopard before leaving.
"Come over later. I want to ask you more about this place. You can sleep here tonight."
Hearing what Baobao said, the witch became frightened again. She didn't dare to refuse and could only agree nervously.
After the witch left, Lu Ban looked at Bao Bao who was lying on the ground again.
"You treat her very special."
"Of course."
Leopard said in a lazy voice.
"She has been exposed to foreign pollution since she was a child and possesses extraordinary talent. If she were in another world, she would definitely be a genius who would change the times."
"Of course, it's not bad to be in this foreign land. I like her very much, so I want to get to know this little girl better, cultivate feelings with her, and tell her about the beauty and hope of this world. It would be best if we could become close friends who can talk about anything, or even closer soul friends. It would be best if I could feel pity, regret, and love for her, and sincerely regret what I'm doing now."
"Only in this way..."
She turned her head and looked at Lu Ban.
"When I chose her as the next Son of God and turned those most ardent hopes into despair, I could taste the most personal pain. I said, I like this immersive feeling."
The corners of Leopard's mouth curled up, and he seemed to be extremely looking forward to what was to come.
