Rebirth: I was born into the Golden Elixir Stage

The thin man waited in the room for a while before he heard a knock on the door from behind. Then Chen Diji's soft voice came from outside the door, "Uncle, I'm here with my friends."

After saying that, the thin man immediately stood up, opened the door, hid behind the door alone, and only extended one hand to invite Chen Diji and Zhu Wuhen to come in.

Chu Weizhen looked at Chen Diji, his eyes full of confusion. He didn't understand why the man in the room greeted them while he was hiding behind the door.

Chen Diji winked at Chu Weizhen, then walked into the house with small steps, and said in a lively and excited tone, "Uncle, what story are you going to tell us?"

"Here, this is my friend! My friend... He is a..." Chen Diji didn't know Chu Weizhen's name, and they hadn't known each other for long. Seeing that Chu Weizhen himself had no intention of introducing himself, he made up a nickname, "He is a masked weirdo."

"Masked weirdo?" After the thin man closed the door, he looked at the mask on Chu Weizheng's face and felt that Chu Weizheng was indeed suitable for this title.

"That's right." Chen Diji confirmed, "He is the masked man."

"The masked man likes to wear some strange masks. I'll tell you in secret, uncle, he must be very ugly, otherwise why would he wear a mask?" Chen Diji blinked his eyes, looking quite cute and elf-like like a little child.

The thin man chuckled and for a moment was reluctant to see Chen Diji being sacrificed.

"Uncle, uncle! What are you still standing there for? We want to listen to a story!" Chen Diji ran to the dining table at some point. He sat down on a chair, shaking his legs, and urged the thin man to tell them a story quickly.

The thin man had never raised a child, and even hated children for a while. But when he saw Chen Diji today, he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart. He thought that it would be great if his future children were like this.

"Uncle, what are you daydreaming about?" Chen Diji saw that the thin man had not said anything and stood there looking at him. Suddenly, he remembered that the thin man must have a physical problem since he was so thin. He immediately jumped off the chair and asked with concern, "Are you...are you feeling unwell?"

"My mother told me that if I feel unwell, I should take medicine."

Chen Diji spoke seriously. Chu Weizheng pulled his clothes from behind. It was the first time he saw Chen Diji like this. He was no different from an ordinary child, without the maturity and stability that only belong to adults.

The thin man walked over slowly, sat down opposite the two of them, and said in a comforting tone, "I'm fine, I'll tell you a story right now."

"I'll tell you the story of this village." The thin man stared, his expression suddenly becoming extremely serious. He looked into Chen Diji's eyes and said seriously, "Do you know why you were brought here?"

Chen Diji remained silent. He tilted his head, as if he was seriously thinking about this question.

After a brief silence of a few seconds, the thin man spoke again, "Because... this village needs a sacrifice."

"Sacrifice means offering you to the gods. After the gods receive the sacrifices, they will fulfill our wishes, and the gods will take away the souls of the sacrificed people."

"He will select the best few souls from among hundreds of souls, and all the other souls will re-enter reincarnation."

"How about it, do you want to become God's servant?"

Chen Diji's eyelashes fluttered and hit his face one after another. He seemed to have no idea that gods were servants of gods, and perhaps he didn't even understand the story just now.

But the thin man didn't think so much. He just wanted to get it all out and say out everything that was stuck in his heart. God knows how long he had been holding these things in.

"I guess you don't know what a servant of God is, so I'll tell you the story of this village!" He raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed softly, then continued, "This place was no different from other villages before, but suddenly one day, God descended!"

"He said if we gave him 100 children every year, he would grant us one wish."

"At first we didn't believe it, but that year... there was a famine, the land was dry, no rain fell for a whole year, even the nearby rivers dried up. We had no choice but to take the risk and find children to sacrifice."

"Finally, in the spring three years ago, we gathered all the children. After we put all the children into the sacrificial field according to the specified requirements, the children disappeared. A golden light flashed in the sky, and then there was a loud bang, and rain fell."

"God! He really fulfilled our wish." The man became more and more excited as he spoke, with light flashing in his eyes.

Golden light?

Chen Diji suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen golden light when he was born. It was because of that golden light that he and Zhu Xindi fell into a coma, giving others the opportunity to exchange him with Chen Jiyi.

"Ever since the god fulfilled our wish, we have offered a hundred boys and girls to the god every year, and he has also sent us divine messengers."

"Now we don't need to look for children ourselves. With the help of the gods, they will find children for us. Last year, the gods fulfilled our wish to have a child, and this year..."

"Alas... I don't know what happened, but last winter everyone in our village fell ill, and no matter what medicine they took, they didn't get better. This year's wish... We originally wanted to be rich, but now we can only pray for recovery of health."

Speaking of recovery, the thin man sighed, his face full of disappointment, but the disappointment didn't last long, his eyes lit up again, "But I heard that God will come again this year, that's great, we can see God! We will be the only village in this continent that has seen God."

god?

Chen Diji and Chu Weizheng looked at each other in bewilderment. It wasn’t that they didn’t believe in gods, but they just couldn’t understand why gods would land in such a barren village.

Moreover...he had never seen any god in the fairy world, so how could a god come down to the human world?

It was very strange that Chen Diji began to doubt the authenticity of God, or rather, he never thought that man was a God, let alone a messenger of God.

He suddenly remembered, did the third elder say that they were from Changheng Sect? If they really came to Changheng Sect, then the things here must be related to Changheng Sect.

"You said...you prayed for a child last year?" Just as Chen Diji was thinking about whether the incident here was related to Chang Hengzong, Chu Weizhen, who had been silent, spoke up, "But why didn't I see any children here? Did you send them away?"

Chen Diji then remembered that he had never seen any children in this village. He and Chu Weizhen looked at the thin man. The thin man was silent for a moment and slowly said, "Those children... were taken away by the gods!"
