Chapter 53 The Beginning of Civilization
Shuli is an outlier. Even among the undead, he is a relatively unique one.
No matter how weird the personalities of other immortals are or how peculiar their values are.
At the very least, under Ba Lian's teachings, they are full of reverence for life and rarely kill for unnecessary reasons.
But Shuli is just the opposite. He has a strong desire to fight and challenge. When he was in the central plains, he often clashed with other undead.
Fortunately, the immortals are generally broad-minded and don’t bother with Shu Li too much.
Until Ba Lian decided to move all the undead to the glorious world in the Eye of the Creator.
Shu Licai decided to officially leave the hidden place in the central plains, hoping to become a truly independent person like Ah Xin.
Thanks to the [Sun-Moon Calendar] created by Luofu, the immortals who originally had no concept of time became aware of the existence of time.
One cycle of the sun and moon is one day, and one cycle of the world's changes is one year...
By counting with the stone watch he was wearing, Shuli clearly realized that he had been away from the hidden place for eight hundred years.
During these eight hundred years, Shuli, like the vast majority of undead people, enlightened the skeleton people scattered around the world.
The only difference is that those skeleton people who choose to follow Shuli are often extremely aggressive and are also outliers among the skeleton people.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the current living conditions of the Skeleton People.
Since the Day of Sin, skeletons have been reviving in various parts of the world.
In order to take good care of these "brothers and sisters", the undead began to gather them around the world and then teach them to recognize their own identity and behavior.
Even though it is a difficult and long job.
But the undead people were so interested that they spent thousands of years to complete this thankless task in the eyes of other gods.
The result was that the Skeleton People gradually emerged from their initial ignorance and began to have concepts of race and civilization.
However, unlike general civilizations, the Skeleton People have no demand for food, so naturally they have not developed skills such as farming and nomadic life.
Even "ignition", an initial skill for advancing civilization, is considered dispensable in the eyes of the Skeleton People.
However, although the Skeleton People have no food needs, they still have the most basic security needs.
After all, they are different from the undead. Damage to their bodies means death.
Under the siege of those ferocious beasts from the outside world, who can guarantee that their bones will not be taken away and torn apart? Therefore, out of concern for their own safety, the first "tribes" and "cities" were born.
It is called a tribe, but in fact it is just a loose alliance of dozens or hundreds of skeletons formed under the organization of the undead.
As for the city, it is even simpler.
Basically, under the guidance of the undead, they built a circle of earth mounds, stone platforms, and fence-like things around their fixed activity area.
Anyway, the Skeleton People don’t have to worry about food.
They do not need to go out hunting or farming, and can live for a long time in a very small space.
During the day, he listened to the teachings of the undead under their compulsion, and at night he dug a hole and bury himself in it.
This was the "daily life" of the Skeleton People for quite a long time.
This leisurely and relaxed life continued until one day five hundred years ago.
When the first evil ghost was born on the Day of Sin, the peaceful life of the Skeleton People was gone forever.
Different from the Skeleton People and other creatures, evil spirits are creatures that are unwilling to die and are deformed monsters under the shining of the Sun of Sin.
Generally speaking, after a living being dies, the soul will gradually dissipate and then turn back into the basic elements that make up this world.
But the existence of the Day of Sin caused those souls to mutate into monsters that hated all living things before they dissipated.
Evil spirits have no self and no consciousness.
They will only madly attack every living being that they come into contact with and that can move freely.
Although the Skeleton People are not considered living beings, they are able to move freely and will still be attacked by evil spirits.
It just so happens that those evil spirits have no weaknesses other than being afraid of the sun and fire, and ordinary physical means cannot even touch them.
Under such powerful external pressure, the Skeleton People's originally stagnant "civilization gears" finally started to turn again.
First of all, the initial skill of the civilization, "Fire", was first lit up by the Skeleton People.
The Skeleton People were surprised to find that fire could not only drive away evil spirits, but also prevent ordinary wild beasts from invading their homes.
Of course, for a general tribe of skeletons to develop to this level is already very good.
In order to study the skills of making fire faster and keeping the fire longer...
Frequent exchanges began among the skeleton people, and some medium-sized and even large tribes were born.
In order to better protect their own safety, a real "city" also appeared in this process.
Then, in these cities, the skeletons were surprised to find that besides themselves, there were so many strange and bizarre fellow creatures and so many shocking experiences in this world.
Desire began to spread in the hearts of the skeleton people, and curiosity also appeared in their subconscious.
No longer passively accepting changes in the outside world, but actively seeking those mysteries that I have not yet known...
Thousands of years of continuous enlightenment of the immortal people turned into a true spark of civilization at this moment.
Some skeletons who were unwilling to be trapped in the city began to think about how to fight back and even eliminate those seemingly endless evil spirits.
The tribe led by Shuli - "Li" was the best among them.
Under the leadership of Shuli, the battle maniac, the corpse people who were able to gather under his banner could naturally not be peace-loving people.
In the age before the evil ghosts were born, Shuli had led those corpse people who were willing to follow him to attack everywhere and kill all kinds of ferocious and powerful beasts.
In Shu Li’s own words, I am different from my peers. They like to preach, but I prefer action.
Even if I tell you a truth a thousand times, it is not as good as you practicing it once with me.
Facts have indeed proved that what Shuli said does make sense.
The tribe under his command, the "Li", was the first to master the technology of replacing their own bones with the bones of other creatures and making themselves stronger.
Therefore, in most of the time, you can often tell the difference between "Li" and other corpse people at a glance.
These battle-hardened warriors often have thicker bones, larger bodies, and more bizarre shapes.
