I am God!

Recently, some strange things happened in a once very remote and wild area southwest of the Kingdom of Rain.

Some strange people appeared. These people claimed to have received favors and gifts from the messengers of the gods and mastered extraordinary powers. They were followed by various strange "beings". These beings could speak, but no matter they were His appearance and the way he speaks are obviously very different from ordinary people.

It was a rare sunny day.

There is a strange road in the jungle, as if some giant thing forced its way back and forth on the land and mountain roads that were originally densely covered with trees and plants, and finally carved out a road.

There are wooden houses built in the middle of this road, and there are villages and birdman settlements not far away. At this moment, in front of one of the wooden houses, there is a group of traders and travelers standing and waiting with wooden boxes, cloth parcels or backpacks, and there are also people. People are coming here.

They seemed to be in a hurry, as if they might miss something if they were too late.

Not long.

There was a sudden movement deep in the jungle in the distance. You could see that the jungle seemed to be shaking slightly, and you could faintly see something higher than the jungle moving.

The thing that stood above the jungle was shiny and refracted the light in the sun.

"Hurry up, the snail car is coming soon." One of the people waiting in front of the road and wooden house waved and shouted to the back.

"What's wrong with you, you still want to push people in front of me." The person behind him was dissatisfied and reprimanded loudly.

"Those are my family members who made an agreement with me to go back together." The man said.

"That's not okay. Whoever comes first, leaves first. These are the rules here. Do you dare to violate the rules under the eyes of the gods?" The people at the back yelled.

"Why are there so many people today?" The people who had just arrived looked at the people here, and their expressions suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"I came first, you have to line up." Someone tried to sneak to the front, but was discovered immediately.

"We have an emergency." Some people argued and even started to make a fuss.

"No one is in a hurry. I must bring these things back immediately. My whole family is counting on me to bring these things back to exchange for food." The quarrel became louder and louder, and the scene became chaotic. Some people even A fight began.

But soon, the figure walking along the avenue in the distance finally appeared at the end of the road.

Look around.

The first thing that catches the eye is a red snail monster as tall as a hill, with a colorful gemstone volute on its back, available in various colors, shining like a treasure mountain.

And right behind it was a similar being, but much smaller.

Then more and more figures appeared, one after another, red snail monsters carrying ordinary volute shells on their backs.

There are ropes tied to these snail monsters, and there are also rope ladders. You can see many people sitting on them. People sit on them according to the patterns of the volute shells, going up layer by layer.

It turns out to be the first-level red snail and the second-level ruby ​​red snail.

These snail monsters appeared one after another, marching in neat lines as if they were on a long-distance migration.

This is the strange phenomenon in this land, the Snail Road.

It means that the road is crushed by the snail-like monster, and it is also the fixed route of this monster.

This strange phenomenon was first discovered by a group of wanderers. They saw a group of strange snail-shaped creatures in the wilderness that kept coming and going according to a fixed route. It was an irregular circle. This road was not only easy to walk. , and it is much safer than the ordinary route.

Traveling and advancing in the wilderness is very dangerous, and it is extremely difficult to carve out a mature path in this world full of weirdness and danger.

And then they discovered that these strange snail monsters did not hurt them like other weird ones, and even allowed them to ride on them, so some people began to hitchhike on these snail monsters on the Snail Road.

It has been passed down from generation to generation, and now it has been a custom for tens or even hundreds of years.

There was no such good thing 100 years ago. Once you calculate the time, you know that this must be a gift from the legendary god. All kinds of strange things in this land began to appear from that time.

People say that these snail cars came to the world to open roads in accordance with the will of the gods. Therefore, travelers and traders also have great respect for these snail cars, which was quickly reflected here.

It can be seen that with the arrival of the snail monster team, the originally chaotic bird people immediately became quiet and did not dare to make any more trouble.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting."

"Don't let the gods see your ugliness."

"Provoking God's anger will bring about divine punishment."

Everyone stopped and lined up quietly, quietly looking at the snail monsters in the distance that looked slow but were actually moving very fast. Their eyes were full of awe and worship. Some people knelt on the ground directly to thank the gods, or Asking the snails for permission to "hitch a ride."

For them, the eyes of the gods will fall on them with the snail monsters he sent to open the way, so they dare not show their ugliness and break the rules in front of the gods.

In a sense, this also gave them a sense of awe, giving this lawless snail road a default order that has lasted for hundreds of years.

Those red snails and ruby ​​red snails seemed to know that there was a station here and many people would be waiting for them here. They stopped when they arrived in front of the wooden house. Some people climbed or jumped off the volute shell, and then came Arrived in front of the volute.

The people in line immediately came to the back of the volute, stuffed things into the volute, and then climbed up themselves.

When they leave, the volute will spit out their contents out the other end.

However, the seats above were soon filled up, and there were still many people who did not go up. This group of people had no choice but to give up.

They watched the snail car team disappear at the end of the road in a mighty manner, like a row of moving mountains, with eyes in awe and a little loss.

"When is the next time?"

"It will take more than ten days!"

"Why don't we just walk along this road ourselves? My destination isn't too far anyway."

"I don't dare. Although this road is safer than other places, even if we don't encounter weird things or encounter ferocious dragon beasts on the way, we don't have enough food for them."

"Let's wait until next time!"

Many people quickly packed up their things in the wooden house and prepared to stay here for more than ten days. Some people were preparing to return to nearby villages. Of course, some people took the risk and set off along the Snail Road.

The people sitting around, hugging their knees and waiting sighed.

"It would be nice if there were more snails."

"Pray to God, maybe God will send more snail cars!"

"It can only be this way."

"It's pretty good now. In the past, we wouldn't have dared to go such a far distance. Leaving the vicinity of the village would have been courting death."

"Yes, these are all gifts from the gods."

Suddenly there was a surprise noise outside the cabin.

"Look, here comes the snail car again." The noise made people run out, and they were surprised to find that a snail car appeared on the road in the distance.

"No way, didn't it happen before?" People were extremely excited, thinking that another group of snail cars was coming.

"There's only one." But they soon discovered that there was only one snail car coming. It looked lonely, and it didn't have the majestic feeling of the large snail car team before.

"Is he alone?" Everyone was surprised, including many traders who had been to the Snail Road many times.

"Usually, the snail trains set off together. Is there still a situation like falling behind? Have you never heard of it?" This was also the first time they saw such a scene.

As it got closer, the appearance of the snail car became more and more obvious.

This snail car looks a bit strange. It is obviously different from the previous snail cars and is much smaller.

What's even stranger is that the snail monster above is wearing a strange crystal mask, turning its head to look at them, as if it has wisdom, not at all as dull as the previous snail monsters.

Moreover, the volute on its back also looks more regular, square and square, and even has a small opening on it, like a window.

It doesn't look like a volute at all, more like a carriage.

"Why does this snail car look like this?"

"Looks weird?"

"Is this a snail car?"

"Could it be a mistake?"

People lined up on the roadside to look at this snail car that they had never seen before. Some wanted to get on, but most were hesitant.

They were afraid, worried that this was a monster that looked like a snail car and that they might be eaten by it if they got close.

The snail car stopped quickly, and a young man's head poked out from the small window of the snail car's shell-shaped carriage, shouting below.

"Everyone is welcome to board my snail car. My companion snail car and I will also travel along the snail road, and I can also take you to places that the traveling snail car cannot go."

Everyone looked at each other, and someone immediately scolded him.

"Your snail?"

"This is sent down by God."

"Young man, don't say anything that offends the gods. You will be punished by heaven."

But soon they discovered that this snail car was really different from before. It listened to the young man's orders and could even speak on its own.

This scared everyone enough, but soon they heard something even more shocking. The young man in front of them was the one chosen by the gods, and his duty was to guard the snail car.Moreover, he also talked nonsense and planned to expand this snail road that has lasted for hundreds of years.

Everyone talked about it and found it incredible, but they still believed the other party because the other party's various magical actions indeed proved that what he said was true.

Soon, someone boarded the snail car.

In the previous snail cars, they stuffed luggage into the volute and people sat on the volute. But this time they put the luggage on the volute and tied it up, while people sat in the volute carriage. This feeling is really real. It's something special.

People packed this special snail car to the fullest and followed this special snail car to distant places.

"Is this my first time riding in a car like this?"

"This solves a big problem for me. If I can't get back home, there will be a big problem."

"Young man, you are the one sent by God to rescue us!"

The man who controls the snail car said: "Don't worry, there will definitely be more snail cars in the future, and God's gifts will become more and more abundant."

Everyone asked: "Really?"

The other person: "Of course, I am not the only one who has been blessed by the gods. On the way, I also met a man who built a house with the power given by the gods!"

"The wooden house he built was tall, large, and very beautiful. It was covered with scale-like tiles instead of bark."

"Although he chose a different sealed object than me, I think there will definitely be many people who will choose the same path as me and join the Snail Road."

Indeed, at this moment, various people who control sealed objects on this land have begun to take action, and they are also exerting various influences and changes on this civilization.

Some of them chose to be miners, controlling their sealed artifacts to mine the ores underground, and then gradually turning their settlement into a future miner's town.

Some people obtained sealed objects that could produce pigments, so they began to dye cloth, and the entire village where they lived became busy and prosperous.

In addition, there are also some special people who embark on a journey to find weirdness and find the weirdness they need to seal it.

They didn't call themselves witchers.

In other words, there is no concept of demon hunters at all, and God did not give them names.

But soon, they had a name for themselves.

"Shepherd of God!"

It means, shepherding weird people on behalf of God.

They believed that God had sealed those terrible weirdnesses and then handed them over to them to control, and that they were using these sealed objects on behalf of God.

However, whether they are Demon Hunters or Divine Shepherds, they are just existences on the same path.
-
Helfas has been paying attention to this land through the black pen messengers patrolling the area, observing the impact of the existence of these new so-called shepherds of gods on civilization, but it seems to be pretty good so far.

"Probably so."

"Master, have you decided to launch a comprehensive implementation plan?"

"As long as you give the order, all the black pen messengers will take action."

Helfas stood in front of the window, but the sealed book on the table behind him stood up, and it was the other person who just spoke.

At this time, you can see that the original ferocious metal dragon head relief on the Book of Sealing has turned into a spar at some point. Apparently Helfas has also completed the transformation on it. Helfas turned around and said, He looked at the crystal-like relief.

Through the eyes of the relief, for some reason he felt as if he saw the former black iron dragon observing him.

He came closer and looked at the relief.

"Is he watching me with you?"

"What does this feel like?"

The crystal relief on the sealed book opened its mouth and said to Helfas.

"I seem to feel it's happy."

In fact, Helfas inlaid the crystal relief on the sealed object. In a sense, it also opened a window for the weird things sealed in the darkness. With Helfas's permission, they actually It is possible to share the perspective and feelings of the crystal head.

The crystal skulls are their eyes, an extension of their thinking and perception, allowing them to experience the power of wisdom.

Helfas could be regarded as reaching a tacit agreement with these weirdos in some way. He borrowed the power of these weirdos, but also gave them something they were looking forward to.

This will greatly reduce these weird backlashes, or even eliminate them.

And Helfas had another plan to do this kind of thing.

If one day they gain wisdom, these memories will be integrated into their minds and blood. At that time, they will have a lot of memories of getting along with and coexisting with mortals, and have stories of walking with generations of mortals.

Although this does not guarantee anything, Helfas feels that it can always influence and change something.

Helfas shook his head, recalling the figure of the black iron dragon.

"hapiness?"

"If he is still the same as before, he won't feel happy when he sees my face!"

The sealed book stood quietly and answered motionlessly.

"Not necessarily because it sees you, but being able to think, remember, and feel the world from the perspective of an intelligent species may already make it very happy."

If it were more than 1000 years ago, Herfas would not have done such a thing. At that time, he was afraid of, hated, and even hated weird things.

But more than 1000 years later, he gradually felt that the relationship between humans and weirdos was sometimes not so simple and hostile. They coexisted in this world and relied on and longed for each other.

He almost died countless times at the hands of weird people, and a large number of his subordinates died tragically trying to seal weird things, but in the end, he personally established a system where sealed objects were the foundation of civilization.

He personally turned people into dragons, witnessed the establishment of civilization by dragons, and also witnessed the disasters caused by the melee between dragons.

He saw the war caused by the demons, and personally brought the demons into order.

He looked at the eyes on the cover of the Sealed Book for a while, and finally brought up the original topic.

“Since it has been proven that this is feasible in one area, let’s gradually release it and start implementing it in all areas of the Kingdom of Rain.”

When promoting a new thing, Helfas was very cautious, and it was not until this moment that he finally made up his mind.

The more powerful and able he is to dominate everyone's destiny, the slightest deflection of his will can affect the direction of the entire civilization, and any small mistake on his part may cause huge disasters.

Sealed Book: "What's next, do you have any plans for me?"

Herfas: "My plan is just a framework, like an introduction to a story or an introduction. How it develops next is not my business alone. It also depends on how the people on this land go. Push, they’re the ones writing the book and the story.”

Sealed Book: "So you don't know what will happen next?"

He really didn't know what all this would look like in the end, and what kind of civilization would be born, but he said without any doubt.

"Let's take a big step forward, and we'll talk about the future later."

"There will definitely be bad things, but I believe more of them will be good."

As Helfas gave the order, a large number of black pen messengers moved one after another.

As the birdmen who mastered the sealed objects appeared one after another, the wave of civilizational advancement was suddenly pushed to its highest peak, advancing at an incredible speed.

The massive population and slowly advancing civilization accumulated over tens of thousands of years began to undergo qualitative changes after their potential was released.
-
Thousands of miles of clear sky.

The clouds in this sky are very strange. They are not scattered and layer upon layer. Instead, they appear at intervals and cover a large area of ​​the sky. They are thick and dense, just like patches of Cloud State land. and islands.

But looking down, the land below is a barren land.

It's not quite a desert, but it's extremely barren, with only scattered trees and plants.

The name here among the bird people is the Kingdom of Clouds.

It is another special area on this land besides the Kingdom of Rain. In addition, there is also a Kingdom of Snow.

The Kingdom of Clouds and the Kingdom of Snow are very desolate with sunny days and almost no rainfall, but there are a lot of strange clouds floating in the sky.

The other one seems to have snow all year round, but in this case there are no four seasons. It is also difficult for life to survive on the frozen earth.

Therefore, there are almost no people living in these two lands.

It looks like this.

Although the Kingdom of Rain, which is always rainy, cannot be called a particularly good place, compared with the other two, it can be said to be the Kingdom of Heaven.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the Kingdom of Clouds, passing through the thick "Cloud State Continent" and heading into the distance.

Helfas appeared here.

Because he heard a rumor that there was a special building somewhere in the Kingdom of Clouds.

That building is not on the ground level.

But floating on the clouds. (End of chapter)
