Chapter 41, Shepherd and Sheep
On the day when the temple was completed, all the rat warlords and priests were called back by the white rats.
Groups of rat warriors also returned from the forest, and even the slave rats who worked day and night stopped their actions.
At this moment, they devoutly offered prayers and faith to their master who had not even given them a name.
At this moment, countless alien races that were kept in cages were pushed onto the altar.
Gnolls, earth elves, ferocious bears, giant horned deer people, clear water fish people, scattered and various alien races were pushed onto the altar, along with various extraordinary plants and items that were either bright or extraordinary.
The rats who were difficult to calm down also completely calmed down at this moment, without a single sound.
Quietly watching the scene in front of them, even many devout and fanatical priests couldn't help shaking their bodies.
Obsessed with the divine stone pillar in front of him, which had become extraordinary because of the long-term infection of faith and Xiaochun's climbing.
It seemed that he saw his great god in it, or in the increasingly blurred eyes, he saw the truest self.
The humble mice knew their own insignificance, so they dedicated their desires and souls to the great ones and turned into flames in the hands of the great ones.
These fanatical priests saw it, they saw themselves in the hands of the majestic figure in a trance, that pure and restless flame.
He couldn't help but kneel on the ground, with a blurred look on his face, wanting to grab with both hands, grab himself, grab his own fire of desire.
But at such a solemn time, this extraordinary behavior was not welcomed.
The solemn temple guards, composed of the most elite and longest-lived rat warriors just drawn from the rat army, the temple guards.
Two people set up these confused priests in a group, and in a flash, there was a fresh sacrifice on the altar.
Until their heads were cut off, these guys did not turn back from the illusion in front of them, or they were unwilling to turn back.
This may be the time when they are closest to the fire in their hearts in their lives. Everything that the flame transforms into is what they are chasing, which touches the most fundamental desire.
Unwilling to turn back, unwilling to give up.
It's just a pity that until they fell and turned into part of the blood lake, the flame that originated from them was not affected at all.
The great ones are more greedy than them. When they pinned their desires on Him and turned them into faith, they were captured and had no right to choose.
Whether dead or alive, the shepherd will no longer return a strand of wool to the sheep being herded.
Perhaps the poor Du Yuan is not the most powerful among these apprentice gods, and his followers are not the best developed.
But it is certain that he was the first to embark on the path of demigod.
In the Sea of Chaos, countless creatures rise and fall, and countless gods appear and disappear. Why do the new gods dare to call themselves new gods?
Even today, facing the attacks of the surrounding native gods, the new gods dare not say that they have completely gained the upper hand, but this arrogant new word is still released.
Is it because of the God Clan Contract? No, it is because of the thing that every new god must do starting from the demigod.
Let the clan adapt to themselves, let the power and priesthood chase themselves, and let themselves choose themselves.
The true gods of the new gods will not be like the native gods, who are influenced by the priesthood, authority, clan, and even the world, and passively become what kind of gods.
Instead, they understand what kind of person they are, and then become what kind of gods.
Even though it is difficult to violate the rules of the Sea of Chaos, the camp will be fixed at the moment of ascending to the god, but at the stage of apprentice gods and demigods, every god of the new gods has a lot of time to think about their own direction.
The choices and ideas he made, and he transformed his own clan, consolidated his own priesthood and authority.
This is why Du Yuan, as a candidate for the future evil god, was still not driven out of the academy.
In the general rules, many gods of the new gods chose to abandon the influence of the nine camps and gather together. Although there were constant struggles, as the road deepened, there were many gods with different good and evil concepts.
But when many gods gathered to form an alliance under the concept of the new gods.
On a sea of chaos, beyond evil, good, neutral, lawful, chaotic, demarcated, and novel, the God Group appeared.
This is why the new gods can develop so rapidly.
Of course, no one will do such a thankless task as turning a succubus into an angel.
When casting an anchor, it is actually a two-way choice. When you are still a person, or when you try to be a god, you don’t understand who you are and what path you will take.
This is normal, but isn’t there still a divine core?
This is a strange thing born from the heart of the new gods, the cornerstone of the future godhood.
She can show the true self of the deepest part of the heart of a new god, which can help the new gods avoid many detours.
The choice has already begun when you anchor your followers, and only the right followers will be attracted by your anchoring aura.
Just like Du Yuan to the Rat Man, as a guy who grew up in the underworld, can he be kind?
Even though it is true on the surface, deep down in my heart, it is not necessarily true.
This may be the reason why the chaotic and evil Rat Man chose Du Yuan.
But as a time traveler, as a guy who comes from a world where order, moral concepts, and rules fit in with the horrors, Du Yuan naturally prefers order, so Du Yuan promotes the transformation of the rat people's theocratic military merit into slavery and allows the rat people to move towards order.
This is the beginning of the road, gradually transforming from ideas. Even though the choice at this time is not absolute, only at the moment of becoming a god, the alignment will remain stable.
It can be said that the Rat Man and Du Yuan chose each other at the beginning, but it is foreseeable that when Du Yuan starts to push the Rat Man to change, and when Du Yuan's influence on the Rat Man becomes more and more profound, the Rat Man will lose the right to choose. .
If Du Yuan wants them to be kind, they will be kind; if he wants them to be evil, they will be evil. Everything about them is also decided based on Du Yuan's preferences.
This is the price of being close to the evil god.
Above the temple, with the end of the huge sacrifice, all the ratmen present held their breath at this moment.
Because of the unresponsive god, because of the unresponsive god! Because of the unresponsive god! !
At this moment, there was silence.
Until the white mouse suddenly bent down, as if he had aged many years. You must know that since he was given the essence of life by Du Yuan and became a hero.
Even the strong rat warlords did not dare to breathe in front of the white rats because of the powerful pressure.
But at this time, he had lost this pressure, as if he had truly become a dying rat-man who had difficulty even standing.
Suddenly.
The silent atmosphere was broken, and the sparse sound suddenly exploded, making it extremely noisy. Some inexplicable emotions appeared in the eyes of all the rat priests and warlords present. Some rat men looked around in panic, and some rat men looked around in panic. He looked at the weak white rat with a hint of ambition.
Some are confused.
But no matter what kind of reaction the rat man had, with the dimness of the divine stone pillar in front of him, uncontrollable fear appeared in his eyes.
It was a mess.
Regarding all this, Bai Shu didn't want to care about it at all, and just stared blankly at the divine pillar in front of him.
