Sometimes, when the gears of fate turn, they always bring surprises or shocks to people inadvertently.
The lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain on the sacrificial mountain that day not only frightened the nobles, officials and laborers of the Qinggele Empire, but also brought other variables.
The power of the Mother World was firmly rooted in that mountain, refusing to let go. Qin Xiaoxia was also frightened by the reaction of the world power of this alien world, so he did not dare to expose his existence. Not long after the storm started, he dispersed his thoughts and hid himself, so that even he missed some details.
As for some minor details, the World Mother didn't seem to care much about them, so even though Qin Xiaoxia was very careful, he couldn't resist having a careless "mother".
The energy brought by the Inspiration Ceremony and the World Mother that penetrated the void not only brought the box prepared by Qin Xiaoxia, but also brought some other things, such as some weeds and fallen leaves.
That night, a violent storm blew one of the leaves high into the sky, and then it was blown to a distant direction by the air currents in the sky.
It was also early in the morning, in a wilderness on the border of the Qinggele Empire, under a withered yellow leaf, the light of life flowed inside a few tiny insect eggs.
The light of the Sun Star seemed a little dim in the early morning because of the woods.
There was almost no sound, and several insect eggs were bitten open from the inside.
Several soft, tiny, wingless nymphs crawled out from the inside.
If there was a geoentomologist or agronomist, or even a farmer or an ordinary person with common sense here, he would be able to recognize what this is at a glance.
This is a kind of locust, perhaps the submigratory locust or a similar species, but in today's environment on Earth, whether it is higher animals such as humans or wild beasts or even insects, they are no longer what they used to be.
Several locust larvae crawled out of their egg shells, breathing the air of this world, observing the world with their compound eyes and body senses, and instinctively crawled towards the tender branches of the surrounding plants.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.....
There were subtle gnawing sounds. The grass and trees here were very tender to them, and they ate very quickly. In just a dozen minutes, they had eaten several times as much tender leaves as their own body, even though they themselves were only very small.
"rua~"
A small alien beast the size of a mouse passed by. It called out, then suddenly jumped up, grabbed a small nymph, crunched it a few times, chewed it up, and swallowed it.
As a nocturnal animal, it originally wanted to go back to the cave to sleep, but in the past two days, the ground squirrels in the nearby caves always ran around in the area they thought was safe, as if they had intermittent nervous disorders. At this moment, they finally discovered the "treasure".
The other tender little wingless nymphs reacted in a manner inconsistent with that of larvae, kicking their legs quickly and jumping away to escape from the danger.
"rua~~rua~~"
This small mammal, called the ground squirrel, has excellent vision and quickly chased the insects, eating several of them.
Then the ground squirrel walked back and forth in the nearby trees and grass, sniffing and looking for other delicious food.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the fear of daytime predators made the Geomon finally give up searching and head towards its own cave. Those delicacies should have been eaten up.
In the core of the leaves on the top tender branches of a small tree, two wingless nymphs hid there motionless for a long time. Unable to bear the temptation of hunger and food, they bit the tender leaves below and began to eat.

The Holy Kingdom of Light is located in the fertile plains in the eastern part of the known world.
The Holy Kingdom of Light is not very big, and the real power of the royal family is basically in name only. The national army is entirely composed of church legions, and even the king's succession needs to be designated by the archbishop, and he only has a partial ruling power.
There are not many mountains in the country. The most famous one is the Zarma Gospel Mountain. This single-peaked mountain, which is relatively large but not very high, is where the Holy See of the Church of Light is located.
The Holy Mountain of the Church is a true holy place in the hearts of all believers of the Supreme God of Light, and is known as a corner of heaven on earth.
Here, the climate is warm all year round, the summer is not too hot, the winter is not too cold, the wind and rain are timely and not too strong, farming is possible in all seasons, and the fertile land at the foot of the mountain can produce abundant crops.
This is one of the reasons why this place is called a corner of heaven.
There are numerous buildings on the Holy Mountain, with more than tens of thousands of clergymen and women living there. When you walk among the buildings surrounding the mountain, which are paved with steps and stone floors, you can always hear faint hymns.
This is a magnificent mountain complex built over thousands of years by the joint efforts of devout believers from all over the world and the Church of Light.
If there were earth experts here, they would definitely rate it as a world-class architectural wonder, because its grandeur even exceeds some of the world's previous wonders on Earth.
After nearly a month of expedited delivery by messenger birds and express horses, the news about the Sword Saint Degoni finally reached here from thousands of miles away.
The archbishop was a tall, slender-haired man with a wealthy face. He was dressed in a robe trimmed with gold and a peculiar tall cylindrical hat, which looked a bit like a bachelor's hat on Earth, only more gorgeous.
Because of his immense power comparable to that of an emperor, the archbishop is privately called the Pope by some people. In fact, the archbishop has also considered actualizing the title of Pope.
Each of them had a cup of strong tea and a piece of exquisite pastry, and the afternoon sun shone on a backyard of the cathedral on the top of the Holy Mountain.
The only archbishop and four or five gospel bishop-level figures sat here reading manuscripts and requests from thousands of miles away.
"Sword Saint Degonni? I seem to have heard of this name before."
The archbishop recalled with confusion.
Just from the words that convey the message, it is hard to imagine how powerful the Sword Master is described above, and it also looks a bit fake.
A bishop thought for a moment and reminded.
"Your Excellency, Archbishop, last year the famous wooden opera and dance troupe from the Kingdom of Jinxit came to perform at the Holy Mountain. We all watched their performance, and there was a story about this person in it. It seemed to be a strange legend about slaying evil spirits."
The first thing that the bishop thought of was not that he was really smart and had a good memory, but that he was just impressed. Last year, the most beautiful singer in the dance troupe asked him to roll around in bed with her for two nights on the pretext of spreading holy light. The feeling of ecstasy was unforgettable.
"How credible do you think this is? Neil Luo shouldn't be so bold as to make up rumors!"
An evangelical bishop squinted at one of the documents.
"I can't be fooled, the Hand of Punishment is right there!"
Leit is famous even in the Holy Mountain. His late teacher was the leader of the Knights of the Holy Light of the church and an upright and rigid old paladin.
"Then do we need to solemnly gather everyone to discuss, or issue a holy decree?"
According to the information, Bishop Neillo of the city-state of Fanit has already started to act and has also mobilized two other nearby bishops. Leit also attaches great importance to it.
However, after reading it, the archbishop just lazily leaned back in his chair.
"Let's talk about it later. Let Neillo bring the so-called sword saint to the Holy Mountain and pray devoutly at the feet of the Supreme God. If the situation is really that serious, God will give me instructions. Now, isn't Neillo taking action?"
With the Archbishop's keenness, it was not difficult to find that Neillo wanted to take the opportunity to go further, and he could also see some things in the information, but the request above was a bit excessive. Let's wait and see what results Neillo has.
