Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

In the morning, everything comes into being.

Waking up from his deep sleep, Cologne touched the gold box. The cold and heavy feeling made him feel relieved. He looked around. Just like before, except for the resting crowd, there were no other traces of life.

Perhaps it was the first time that he had taken away the life of a similar person. He had a not-so-good dream last night. A dead man jumped out and asked him if he had ever repented, but he just stabbed him away again.

Having done everything, there is nothing to regret. The indifferent attitude of others has proved who is right and who is wrong. Now, instead of reminiscing about the past, it is more urgent to get more food.

"Fortunately, there are still plants. If there is really nothing, I'm afraid we have finally escaped the flood, but we will starve to death here."

Shaking his head, even though it was the flood sent by God that brought them to where they are today, they still have to rely on the plants grown by God to survive. This is the insurmountable gap between mortals and gods.

Turning over and getting off the bluestone, Colon woke up the others who were still sleeping. Now that it's safe, it's time for them to consider where to go next.

As a settlement, safety is the first priority and proximity to water is the second priority. The former can be ignored for the time being, after all, all life around him has been wiped out, but the latter is a top priority.

Floods are terrible, but humans cannot live without water. Where to migrate is a problem that the survivors need to solve.

"First of all, the coastal areas can be ignored. Although I haven't seen the sea yet, this disaster is caused by the coming of Poseidon."

Sitting on the stone, Cologne said calmly.

"I don't think anyone wants to deal with them anymore, right?"

"Yes, you can't go to the seaside, but it's best not to go to the west. That's the center of the eastern part of the continent. Legend has it that Mount Olympus is there. I don't want to gamble on the mercy of the gods."

Someone nodded, but he immediately rejected an option. In this case, there are only two directions to go: north and south.

"The south. It is said that the water system in the south is complicated, and most of them are connected to the ocean. On the contrary, it is the north. Even the Creator did not say much about it."

After a moment of silence, someone spoke again:

"Since the gods don't pay attention there, it is the most suitable place for us to live. Although the climate there is colder, our fur reserves should be enough."

As soon as these words came out, people immediately echoed, and Cologne also expressed his approval. However, just when everyone was making a decision, he glanced at the crowd, suddenly frowned and asked:

"Where's Ruby, why isn't he here?"

That was his old acquaintance, and it was yesterday that he first stood up and 'believed' what he said. But for some reason, Cologne didn't see the other party.

"He was a little hungry and went to look for fruit trees around - although there was still some food in stock, there was nothing fresh and delicious."

Hearing someone's explanation, Colon nodded. He didn't pay much attention, and then asked everyone to pack their things. Soon, near noon, the supplies they had hidden underground were taken out one by one. Together with several people who had learned relevant skills, they pieced together a simple vehicle frame with a few materials.

Some people also went to collect some food one after another. After all, edible plants were not available everywhere, so they always had to prepare some in advance.

After everything was done, Cologne looked at the sun and decided to officially set off after everyone returned in the afternoon. The scorching sun is always not the most suitable time for traveling.

"what--"

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the distance, instantly making the survivors who had just finished their work look wary.

The crowd was quiet for a while, but the wailing in the distance continued, and the atmosphere became more solemn. However, at this time, Cologne breathed a sigh of relief. If someone encountered some powerful being, it would be impossible for him to still shout out now. The only possibility is accident.

In this case, it's time for him to stand up.

"Don't panic! I'll go take a look. You guys wait here and don't move around."

Said in a deep voice, in the eyes of everyone, Cologne strode forward. After walking about a few hundred steps, under the shade of a tree, he saw the person who was covering his wrist and screaming, it was Ruby who had left before.

There were some fruits scattered beside him, and there were blood stains on the sharp part of a boulder under the tree, silently explaining what had just happened. What happened is already very clear. Ruby accidentally stepped on the air while picking fruits from the tree, and her wrist happened to hit a stone, and then broke.

"Ah - save me!"

Seeing a familiar figure, Ruby quickly called for help. He was in so much pain that he thought he was going to die. Seeing this, Cologne also hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Don't panic, you just injured your hand. It looks hopeless, but fortunately it's your left hand, so the problem is not big."

He tried to comfort him, but the screams of pain from the person in front of him still continued. Looking at Ruby, whose wrist was still bleeding, a sense of gloom enveloped Colon's heart.

There weren't many of them, and even fewer had a good relationship with him. I hope there will be no other accidents in the subsequent journey, otherwise this long migration road will be really troubled.

······

On the land after the disaster, Cologne's team was just a small episode. No one pays attention to these remnants of the old days except themselves.

As they headed north, the weather gradually turned colder. Fortunately, there was still a lot of animal fur left, which helped them withstand the increasingly cold wind.

However, the climate is only a minor matter along the way. What really makes the Cologne group gradually feel uneasy are the 'accidents' that happen every once in a while.

At first, everyone didn't pay attention to it and just regarded it as a matter of personal luck. But as the number of incidents increased, panic began to spread among the crowd. Someone once tried to escape from the team, but the result was not good. His miserable body was found a few days later. It is not known what incredible things happened before his death.

Everyone thought this was a punishment from the gods. Perhaps they still could not escape the disaster. Only Cologne, who also saw this scene, widened his eyes.

The other party's death situation felt so familiar to him.

There are rumors about the soul among bronze humans. It is said that the stronger the soul during life and the deeper the obsession, the more likely it is that after death, it will resist the inspiration from the depths of the spiritual world to a certain extent and stay in the world and the world. Survive in an alternative way among the superficial spiritual world.

Some people say that in the days when the plague was spreading, those transparent figures wandering in the cities at night were the souls of the dead. They were nostalgic for the world and were reluctant to leave.

In this moment, Cologne had it all right. Thinking about those strange tricks and what he had done, he couldn't help feeling a little chilly. But in the end, he said nothing and continued to lead everyone forward.

If these people knew that the source of the 'accident' was probably related to him, Cologne might never be able to sleep again. Fortunately, it wasn't his turn yet, and vaguely, he felt that these 'accidents' were not intended to kill people.

It just doesn't want them to leave and then have them live in fear. Thinking of this, a flash of thought flashed in Cologne's eyes.
