Chapter 385 The Original God of Wealth
Ancient China, Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, Ancient India, Ancient Maya, Ancient Islam...
In this exhibition hall where the corpses of gods were displayed, Li Hao even saw some gods that clearly belonged to Africa, America, and even Oceania, from a mythological system that had long lost written records.
To be honest, the shocking feeling of seeing corpses of gods everywhere is far beyond the ability of any language or words to describe it.
The only thing that made Li Hao feel a little disappointed was that the bodies of these gods were just bodies.
Different from the pawnshop that was incarnated as the "godhead" of the God of Wealth.
The body of the god displayed in the third exhibition hall has already fallen into a different dimension and lost all its high-dimensional attributes.
For humans, these bodies of gods may have great research value.
But in the eyes of a true god of Li Hao's level, these bodies of gods are not only not worth mentioning, but can only be said to be worthless.
Not to mention further research into the godhead and divinity.
Simply restoring the abilities that these gods possessed when they were alive is an endeavor that is bound to yield more input than output.
A large part of the gods' fear of the "Sinking Zone" is due to witnessing this horrific rule that completely obliterates the uniqueness of the gods.
In the [Sinking Zone], the gods are destined to fall into a different dimension and become the mortals they once looked down upon.
"This is the real 'Guixu'!"
After sighing softly, Li Hao focused his attention on a certain place in the third exhibition hall.
"You have survived for so long and collected the remains of so many gods..."
"Is it just for me to witness your collection?"
As Li Hao finished speaking, a distorted human figure appeared out of thin air.
The specific features of the distorted human figure could not be seen clearly, but it could be vaguely seen that it should have been a human being.
"Are you the owner of this pawnshop? Or is it the pawnshop itself?"
When Li Hao asked this question, the distorted human figure was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Hearing the twisted figure's question, it was Li Hao's turn to be stunned.
He first pointed at himself who had transformed into a human body with a dragon head, and then he slowly spoke.
"Look at me, I think you should be the one who's scared, right?"
With a hint of realization, a hint of smile appeared in the distorted humanoid's voice.
"I see! You are actually a living god."
When saying this, the distorted humanoid voice paused briefly.
"After five thousand years of hard work, I finally saw a living god!"
Tilting his head slightly, Li Hao, who heard the malice in the twisted humanoid's words, sneered.
Through this brief contact and communication, Li Hao has already made his own judgment.
The twisted figure in front of me is most likely the pawnshop itself.
It is the will born from the "godhead" of this fallen god of wealth.
As for the previous owners of the pawn shop?
From the moment they walked out of the pawnshop, they were probably no longer themselves.
"A living god?"
"It seems that he is just a self-centered frog in a well."
"If you really understood what a 'living' god meant, you would probably not dare to show yourself before me."
Li Hao was not surprised by the distorted human's arrogance.
Because the other party's will must truly be born from the "godhead" of the God of Wealth.
So from the moment it was born, it was restricted by the various rules of the [Sinking Zone] and never realized how terrifying the power of a complete true God is.
And the experience of collecting the remains of the fallen true gods on Earth has indirectly strengthened its confidence.
Perhaps it has never realized that a true God who can move freely in the [Sinking Zone] is not an existence that it can challenge in any aspect.
"What do you mean by that?"
Although I have never seen the power of the true God.
But the distorted human form still heard the danger in Li Hao's words.
Faintly, the twisted figure seemed to realize that he had hit a hard wall, but still questioned unwillingly.
"What I mean is that you picked the wrong person to mess with."
Li Hao snapped his fingers lightly, and without even making a move, the [Prank Doorbell] behind him shot out a ray of light again.
Seeing this, the Twisted Humanoid didn't care too much and immediately took action to block the attack from [Prank Doorbell].
What it never expected was that its body was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
"ah!"
He couldn't help but let out a scream, and his twisted human-shaped body turned into a material state at this moment.
It's like a pawn shop that keeps changing its appearance.
The distorted humanoid appearance also changes rapidly between humans.
These human forms include male and female, modern and ancient, civilized and barbaric.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that they are symbols of wealth and money in their respective eras and are the well-deserved richest people of their time.
At the same time, they are also the owners of successive pawnshops and the incarnations of distorted human forms in different human eras.
At the end of the transformation, the distorted human figure finally turned back to its original form.
Or more precisely, that was the first ancient human to walk into a pawn shop and trade with the distorted humanoid.
His name is... Wang Hai! He is the first true God of Wealth in China and the "Ancestor of Chinese Businessmen" who is still worshipped today.
He was the seventh monarch of the Shang Dynasty in the Xia Dynasty and the sixth-generation grandson of the founder of the Shang Dynasty.
In the period when Chinese civilization was just emerging, Wang Hai tamed cattle and horses, developed production, and promoted the rapid prosperity of agriculture.
Then, Wang Hai used ox carts to pull goods to trade with people from other tribes and clans, which enabled his Shang Kingdom to enter a stage of rapid development ahead of schedule.
Until the leader of the Yi tribe, Mian Chen, saw the wealth and became evil, and killed Wang Hai.
The belief in Zhongbin, the original god of commerce in Chinese mythology, was just born on this land.
Of course, the above are facts observed from a historical perspective.
From another perspective, Wang Hai's rise and fall are inseparable from this shop.
As the first owner of this pawnshop and the incarnation of the distorted human form in the human world, Wang Hai laid the initial rules of this pawnshop.
-Exchange anything you deem valuable.
——The soul is the most important bargaining chip for human beings and also the most valuable commodity.
——Only the corpse of God can be used as an exchange without paying any price.
After establishing these three most important rules, Wang Hai successfully restricted the expansion of the pawnshop, while also creating a glimmer of hope for later entrants.
Anyone who does business with a pawnshop has the potential to become the owner of the pawnshop.
Only by treating this pawnshop as a transaction object and becoming the owner of this pawnshop can latecomers have a chance to get rid of the "unfair terms" of this pawnshop.
