When they heard that they were going to be taught supreme magic, the sons' expressions became serious.
Over the years, they have learned a lot under the guidance of the high priest, but have never seen this so-called "supreme divine art".
Now, is the true nature of the 'Supreme Divine Art' finally going to be revealed to them? The high priest paused and said slowly: "Divine Art is a means of borrowing the power of God."
"Let me ask you, what is the Nest God we believe in?"
"Jiang, you answer."
Hearing this, Jiang said, "The Nest God is the great god of nest building and fire. He enlightened us, the dog people, and gave us the art of nest building and fire fighting, which protects us from wind and rain and allows us to eat hot food. He is everywhere, always watching us and guiding us on the right path."
The high priest nodded slightly.
"I ask you again, under the guidance of the Nest God, what should we do to repay him and thank him for his selfless gift."
"Cang, you answer."
Cang thought for a moment and said, "Let all intelligent creatures who can speak know him, recite him, and thank him."
The high priest smiled and said, "Yes, the world is big, but there are few intelligent creatures."
"We are the first group of intelligent creatures enlightened by the Nest God. There will definitely be other intelligent creatures in the future, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that we are the first."
"Now I will tell you the truth about the Supreme Divine Art."
“That’s wisdom!”
"Wisdom is the highest divine power bestowed upon us by the Nest God."
"In this world, have you seen other creatures like us who can speak, make tools, use fire, and hunt creatures that are more than ten times our size?"
After these words were spoken, several people looked a little strange.
This is...divine magic? They were disappointed, but not too surprised.
It seems that I had already noticed it.
After a long period of practice, the three sons had already vaguely realized that their father did not actually possess great power.
He is just better at observing and using other dog people than other dog people.
"The Nest God is everywhere and has infinite power. Even this magnificent world was created by him. Think about it, as his first intelligent people, why didn't he give us the great power of wind, lightning, and earthquake?"
"Because he wants us to learn everything with wisdom!"
"He threw us into this world to test us!"
"And wisdom is the supreme magic he bestowed upon us!"
"What I learned from this divine art is the technique of building nests, the observation of celestial phenomena, and the insight into people's hearts!"
"And you have already learned these two points."
"You have also learned how to plant, preserve food, and record things. These are all given to you by the Supreme Divine Arts."
"This is the supreme divine art that you have inherited a part of!"
"But you haven't fully realized the horror of the divine art of wisdom."
"You need more study and practice to pass on, carry forward, and promote this magic!"
There was an unquestionable finality in the high priest's voice.
The supreme divine arts he described seemed to be the core leading to the entire future.
The sons were all a little shocked. It turned out that they had already inherited a part of the supreme divine arts?
No wonder many of the tribe’s technologies were developed through mutual research among them.
Other people in the tribe, on the contrary, have rarely come up with anything meaningful.
They didn't know that, due to the high priest's words and deeds, they naturally had enough exploration and enterprising spirit, and there was a small gap in wisdom between them and those still ignorant dog people.
The eldest grandson Dao also seemed to have realized something.
The other two, who were still young, did not have any clear experience, but they felt that although their grandfather looked so old, the power of his voice seemed to be getting stronger and more powerful, as if there was some force supporting him.
The high priest was originally a little hesitant about whether to say this.
But after he saw the statue of the Nest God behind him move as if it had come alive in a trance, he became more determined.
Yes, God exists!
God loves all living beings, and loves those who possess wisdom even more!
Therefore, he wanted to pass on what he truly understood over the years.
Tell them that wisdom is what truly distinguishes them from other creatures, and is the unique weapon of the Youchao dog people.
He continued speaking, carefully sharing his experience of how to use wisdom in the past.
These things were instilled in him when he was teaching his sons in their early years.
However, they were still young at the time, and although they had learned some of the essentials and had their own areas of exploration, they still did not have as clear an understanding as the high priest.
Now that time has passed, when the high priest described the details, each of his sons was triggered unconsciously.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and the high priest's final teachings to the younger generation gradually came to an end.
His strength was failing him.
The tremendous power brought by that moment of last gasp is gradually becoming insufficient.
Chai noticed this and wanted to stop the teaching and let the high priest rest, but he refused and stopped Chai with a stern look.
“If one day you encounter a difficulty that you cannot resolve, it must be due to a lack of wisdom.”
“Remember, God loves all living things, but He loves wisdom even more.”
"I hope you will always keep these last words in your heart, never forget them, and pass them on to your next generation, and the next generation, without stopping."
With the last sentence, the thick, dry brown eyelids slowly closed, and the pair of cloudy eyes that had watched the dog-man tribe grow from small to large were closed forever.
The sons knelt down, their eyes became wet at first, and then they burst into tears.
Outside the temple, the dogs dropped the bone tools and stone axes in their hands and whimpered sadly.
The first generation leader of Youchao tribe passed away.
Three days later, the funeral was over and a new generation of tribal high priest was elected, who was the eldest son Jiang.
The second son Cang Ze also served as the leader of the Dashan Division, while Jiang Ze continued to serve as the leader of the Donghu Division.
The third son was responsible for continuing the development.
Thanks to the sons' past contributions and statements, there was no turmoil in the transfer of power.
After this, several special written symbols appeared in various places of Youchao tribe.
It is the literal symbol of the sentence "God loves all living things, and loves wisdom even more."
As this text symbol spread widely, Li Yi also felt that the two major laws of the universe, life and creation, had been slightly improved again.
Obviously, as the indigenous peoples of the microcosm had their initial understanding, they, as the products of the birth of the first batch of laws, also directly influenced the changes in the laws.
Li Yi, the master of the universe, also received direct feedback, and his understanding of the two major characteristics soared again.
The magnitude of this surge was even greater than that of the memory fragments previously obtained through the root knowledge passed on by his future self.
Just like that, his understanding of the root laws was raised from the previous ordinary master level to Jiuyu's level.
Li Yi realized in his heart that when the first batch of intelligent creatures gradually died out or their inheritance was cut off, there might not be such a great feedback performance.
On the one hand, this is the initial era, and all changes are directly related to the laws.
On the other hand, the base of the rules will be larger in the future, and a slight change may not produce such a change.
But there is no doubt that managing the universe can indeed make him progress faster than before. (End of this chapter)
