Chapter 712 A world without God

Bayan likes to be with animals.

Whether it is a running horse, an antelope as light as a jump into the sky, a loyal and brave hunting dog, a leopard ready to attack you at any time, or a group of wolves baring their fangs at you, or a male hovering in the sky. The eagle made Bayan feel a kind of upright vitality.

 Degulin is a vast and sunny world, with most of the land being plains. Whether they are hunting, running, flying or cooking, people are under the sun, open and bright, and the world is their home. We have always lived this way and are proud of it.

 It was a world without God, and people did their own thing.

　　Degurins draw their strength from all things. They wear hats with antelope horns, wear wolf fangs and claws, dance in leopard skins, make huge cloaks with eagle feathers, and tell the heroic deeds and virtues of the dead during ceremonies for the dead.

　　People can still live without the existence of gods, but unexplainable and shocking traces can still be seen in many places, which are believed to be places where gods have stopped in the past.

 It is difficult to explain what happened to this world in the past.

 Why God appears and leaves.

 Why people failed to stop God’s footsteps.

Bayan just rides his horse every day and follows the tracks of bears. If he can find bears or dragons, he can wrestle and fight with them to hone his strength and courage.

He exercised day after day. Every morning he pushed the stone mill and ran ten times around the tribe, then rode horseback to find the bear. After eating well and sleeping well, his strength gradually increased.

 As the strongest young man in the tribe, Bayan is often said by the elders.

"If there is a god, Bayan, you will receive the power of the god."

“It’s a pity that the gods have left.”

 …

Bayan just worked harder to train his body.

 He thought.

 Since we need a god, then I have to work harder. If I can keep getting stronger, maybe I can become a god.

As for why he had such an idea, Bayan himself couldn’t explain clearly.

 Degurin never even circulated the exact deeds of the god. What everyone hears is an omnipotent **** in their own imagination. A **** who can crush a bear with one finger, a **** who can make all the grass that has been eaten by sheep grow back immediately, a **** who can make a dragon lie down like a dog. Obedient on the ground...

 God is omnipotent.

 God is caring and kind to people.

Humans are children placed by God on the earth until they grow up and become heroic warriors and wise men. Then God will come to pick up these children, teach them how to become gods, and take them to the world where God lives. Grassland and sky.

　　Although we don’t know where these statements come from, everyone firmly believes them.

When Bayan was twenty-one years old, the sun turned black, as if the sun had lost a layer of skin, or as if something was covering the sun. Then the sun became two, one was the golden sun that was still shining brightly, and the other was the mysterious black sun.

 The black sun always appears, like the falling shadow of the golden sun.

 Its existence also makes many animals on the ground become frenzied, particularly ferocious and powerful.

Some of the people also changed their appearance under the black sun. Black lines like grass and water appeared on their arms, and the same black lines appeared on the corners of their eyes. These people were the strongest warriors of each tribe. They received the recognition and power of the Black Sun.

 The warriors also know their own name: Darkborn.

 They are the warriors of the Darkborn.

　　Bayan is also one of them.

As all the dark descendants know, that black sun is called the dark sun. When it rises, it can bring more powerful power to every dark descendant. It symbolizes the immortal and glorious myth.

 Warriors from each tribe are constantly challenging each other to see who is the strongest warrior and becomes the leader of all Dark descendants.

 When the dark sun rises, it is everyone’s duel day.

Bayan is one of the few dark descendants who refuses to duel.

 He believes that all efforts should be used against those enemies that are truly harmful. For example, there are always one or two days a month when wolves go crazy and violent, and there are also some weird and scary monsters that attack tribes to kill people and devour livestock. In addition, there are also unpredictable natural disasters. Hurricanes, droughts, heavy rains.

　　Degulin people always look at every day with optimism, because the world is always facing dangers and threats.

 In the past, faced with various disasters, people could only endure it or move to other places to stay away from these terrible things that would cause death, hunger and pain.

Bayan believes that true dark descendants will fight monsters and natural disasters!

He hugged and killed monsters, he frantically dug the soil to find underground water sources when the dark sun rose, he grabbed the ropes of hundreds of sheep alone when facing the hurricane, he was everywhere, he did nothing Don't be afraid to face it.

Bayan was scarred for this, and was ridiculed as stupid by many dark warriors.

 “That’s not how power works. What a fool, that guy.”

But standing up to protect the tribe time and time again, Bayan never backed down, allowing more and more children in the tribe to follow him, learn to exercise and hone themselves, and do everything to protect the tribe.

 This makes it even more difficult for the dark warriors to understand.

“The dark descendants are completely different from ordinary people. What’s the use of doing this? Ordinary people are always fragile and timid!”

ˆ Bayan also had a childhood period when he needed to be protected.

 He also fell off his horse and would have died if he had not been rescued in time.

　　Everyone will grow old, become weak, and lose their strength, but what they have done for others in the past should not be forgotten. Those who had helped him either died or became old men who could only take care of horses and livestock.

Bayan just continued his behavior. He didn't really think much about it, he just thought it would reduce the number of funerals, allow more children to grow up healthily, and allow the elderly to live longer.

 Everyone’s smiles obviously increased.

This is enough.

 Slowly, other dark warriors began to understand and follow him.

“Winning a natural disaster is more satisfying than defeating a hundred dark warriors! I’m following you!”

Bayan's name gradually spread throughout the grassland.

From the distant deserts in the west to the forests and hills in the east, the names of those who fought against natural disasters are known to everyone. A large number of young people, whether they are dark descendants or not, are moving closer to him. They learn from Bayan, imitate him, and then become warriors respected by everyone.

One day when he was thirty-two years old, Bayan was shirtless and leading a group of people to build a wind embankment. The dark sun cast a ray of light, pulling Bayan into the sun.

When other people saw this, they were stunned at first, and then cheered.

 “Bayan, Bayan!”

 “Our warrior! He has been chosen by the gods!”

 “Be sure to come back and take a look!”

 …

When Bayan came to his senses, he found himself in a place he had never seen before.

There is a cold wind blowing here, it is snowing heavily, there are glaciers and frozen soil everywhere, and there is a dark sun like a big hole in the sky.     Not Degurin.

There were a lot of things in his mind instantly, about his identity and what he wanted to do... This is the kingdom of God opened by the gods, and it is also the final destination of all dark descendants.

A passing Dark Star with a tail stopped and told him: "This is the outskirts of Dark Star Civilization, and we are Han 1 here."

 “Han 1?” Bayan didn’t understand: “What does this mean?”

"I don't know, just remember it anyway. This is the name given by Lord Dusky Star. In addition to Han 1, there is also Chao 1 next to it. It is better than ours over there. The climate is humid, there are oceans and a lot of lakes, and there are many kinds of life. . Unlike here, where it’s freezing cold all year round, the dark descendants who are ascended here are generally the lowest level.”

Longtail Anyi glanced at Bayan: "Are you only at LV21? I thought that my LV34 was considered the weak one. Forget it, everyone is trash anyway, there is no difference. What is your role?"

Bayan answered truthfully: "[Ice swimming enthusiast]."

“This is a good role. All you have to do is swim in ice water.” The other person said with envy: “I am a [devil believer who disguises himself as a woman].”

“I don’t know how to dress up as a woman at all. It’s really frustrating... There are also demonic rituals and preaching. It’s very complicated. My role is too difficult.”

Bayan said: "You should be very powerful. Generally speaking, the more powerful a person is, the more things he can do."

“Hahaha, you are really good at talking. You are completely different from your honest and tough appearance.”

Long-tailed Anyi laughed: "If you have any questions in the future, please come to me. My name is Jie Da, just call me Brother Jie."

 …

 Life in a cold world is relatively boring. Bayan swims in ice water every day and only goes ashore when eating. Fortunately, other characters will prepare the food, so he is not hungry.

During ice swimming, the cold stimulated Bayan's whole body, making him feel that he was still alive and fighting.

 He will whistle the hometown whistle. In the past, whistling originated from calling dogs, but later it became a popular entertainment and music of Degulin.

Only when he whistled, Bayan felt that he was still a warrior of Degulin, and his hometown had never left him.

 The gods are here.

The real God is not as caring for people as the Degulin people imagined.

 Master Dusky Star is indifferent to people, and only Dusky Descendants who play a good role are qualified. If you cannot play your role well, you will be considered a failed role and a waste and be destroyed.

 The gods are cold, like the stars in the sky.

　　It looks beautiful from a distance, but once you get closer, it turns into the huge dark sun that hangs overhead. It is the eye of a dark star, with yellow-white light emitting from the edge, overlooking everything on the ground ruthlessly and sternly.

 One day, Jack asked him to join the mining area.

“That’s the domain of Lord Yao Shen. Lord Yao Shen and Lord Dusky Star have a close relationship. It’s different from our Dusky Star. There are no role restrictions and it’s more flexible.”

"Originally, hiring An Yi would only be in An Yao country, and we low-level An Yi are not qualified. However, because Lord Yao's god, King Wuji, needs manpower, he came here to recruit. This is a good opportunity. After working in the mining area for 20 years, you can go to the Anyao Kingdom or even the Yao civilization, which is much better than this cold place!"

 Jie Ge excitedly took Bayan over.

The person in charge of recruiting was a man wearing armor with only a black ball in his helmet. He was the prophet of the Yao civilization, named Hei Dian.

Heimao asked Bayan two questions.

“Can you accept high-intensity mining work?”

 “Can you accept the possible unexpected dangers and fatal disasters?”

The work in the mining area is extremely intensive, so you only need to serve for 10 years before you can return to the rear. You will also be assigned work by the Yao civilization and a large salary.

 If you die in an accident in a mining area, you can choose a designated person to hand over the remuneration and pension to that person.

Bayan asked: "Can you give my pension to my tribe?"

Hei Duan said: "Okay."

Bayan then said, I can accept it.

  Jiege finally chose to give up.

"That's too dangerous. Bayan, you are really reckless... There will be another chance in the future, and people may die over there."

 Bayan just wanted to.

 Death is always going to follow you, so at least choose a place to fight for the tribe to face it.

 …

After following him into the mining area, Bayan realized that the place where he was engaged in mining was in an extremely dangerous area. This was a big plan of the Yao civilization [Soil Breeding Project].

What he has to do is enter a cage made of forbidden stone, wear all the equipment and protective armor, and go all the way down the well. Then he had to check the surrounding forbidden stone supports and passages to ensure that they were not loose and that they were safe and stable enough.

 At this time, we are actually already in the sea of ​​soil.

 Almighty stones and fire steam stoves cannot be used underground. Extraordinary power must be reduced to avoid causing soil activation and explosion, which may cause serious safety accidents or even the collapse of the entire mine. So we can only rely on manpower. In order to reduce the pressure and impact, the miners can only be of ordinary size and not too heavy. Big men like giants cannot get in.

What Bayan does is to use a special shovel made of forbidden stone to scoop up the flowing white soil in the ring-shaped mouth and scoop it into the square groove made of forbidden stone.

This may not sound difficult.

 But this is not the case when actually facing Xi soil.

Bayan remembers clearly the first time he carried a shovel and came to the circular mouth at the bottom of the well.

The soil is not a liquid metal, nor is it clay. It raises its neck like a snake and looks around with non-existent eyes. It will also grow many tentacles and explore in all directions. It will even imitate the miner and transform into a human form, and then it will have a shovel in its hand, just like a struggling miner covered in clay...

That kind of weird and terrifying feeling made Bayan's hair stand on end.

These guys are alive.

 Most of the miners are skeleton ancestors, and they treat death just like eating and sleeping. Sometimes their structure is too fragile, causing local bones in the body to break and be dragged in by the soil. If the skull can be rescued, there is hope for survival, but if the head is submerged, there is no way to survive.

Bayan always tries his best to save the skeleton miners in his group. He also made a special shovel that can be closed, which can quickly rescue the skulls from the soil.

  The skeleton miners are grateful to him and like him.

However, not every disaster can be avoided.

When Bayan went to rescue a miner, he was also caught in the dense and sticky soil. They seemed to have remembered to focus on this person who had done bad things many times. At the last moment, Bayan struggled to shovel out a skull.

 At the last moment of being submerged and covered, Bayan thought of the grasslands and galloping horses in his hometown, the clear blue sky, and the ever-changing clouds.

 He prayed silently in his heart.

O God, the great God Yao, please bless them with good weather.
