Chapter 491: The Saints (I)

Song Zheng was respectfully welcomed back to their "villages and towns" by this group of "people".

Along the way, Song Zheng talked less and listened more, and he had figured out a lot of things. These people—if they can be called human—have a mix of human, demon, and even reckless traits.

They are ugly, small and cowardly.

Some of their kind, which they consider "gifted", are those with hard insect shells growing in certain parts of their bodies, or a pair of thick and hideous legs like wild beasts.

In this case, if it is in the Hongwu world, it will definitely be disgusted by its own race. But here, these are all benefits that greatly increase their chances of survival, and they are the envy of everyone.

No one knows when this world became like this, and it seems that the moment this world was destroyed, the past history also vanished.

And the "Devouring Land" in their mouth is named because of the existence of the kind of "monster" that can devour almost everything. In the eyes of these natives, stepping into the Devouring Land is certain to death, and no matter how powerful the existence, there is no escape from this law, including those who are almost invincible "overlords".

And the overlord in their mouth is not a human being, but a powerful desolate beast and reckless worm.

Only they are qualified to be called overlords.

Along the way, the earth was still dry, the mountains in the distance were lifeless, and there was no trace of green representing life in the environment. It seems that life has completely abandoned this side of the world.

But when Song Zheng stood outside their "village and town", he was dumbfounded. In this environment, the so-called villages and towns are known to be shacks, and the number of people is scarce. Shacks are indeed shacks, but there are hundreds of them in a row. Although this small village and town is very poor and backward, its population is unexpectedly large.

Song Zheng saw that around the village and town, there were teams patrolling. Most of the leaders have insect beetles growing on their arms, or they have a strong animal limb open.

They were stopped by a patrol, the captain with an armor-like outer bone on top of his head, pitch black, with jagged bone spurs around the edges.

He stared at Song Zheng with an unkind expression, and asked, "Giroud, who is he?"

Giroud was the leader of the gathering team, and they only gathered together temporarily, electing a leader that everyone agreed on, and looking out for each other in the field.

Giroud was a little afraid of the captain, but when he thought that the person behind him had walked out of the Devouring Land, he immediately straightened his waist and said loudly: "This is Lord Song Zheng, we saw him come out of the Devouring Land with our own eyes!"

"He?

Giroud was startled, rushed up and hugged the captain, and said loudly: "Dak, you are crazy, this is an adult who came out of the Devouring Land, you have forgotten that legend!

Darker pushed him away and looked at Song Zheng deeply: "I suspect that this is a conspiracy of the pure people, I want to tell the three priests and ask them to decide together!"

"You!" Giroud exasperated, "You must not offend your lordship, or our whole village will die without a place to be buried!"

But Duck waved his hand unceremoniously: "Escort him up!"

Song Zheng frowned and asked, "What is a pure person?"

Dark's men had already rushed up, and Giroud was torn apart, powerless to stop Dark, but fearing that if he angered Song Zheng, the entire village would be destroyed by his powerful force. He gritted his teeth and stood beside Song Zheng: "Dake, I'll accompany Your Excellency, if you want to arrest me, just arrest me too!"

Giroud is not very smart, but he has figured out that as long as he is on the side of the adults, when the adults destroy the village, they will definitely spare himself and his family.

Duck laughed: "If he is really an adult, how can he be caught by me so easily?

His inability to resist just proves that he is a liar......"

His arrogance came to an abrupt end, because Song Zheng snapped his fingers, and a flying sword full of death aura appeared in front of his throat and everyone under him.

The flying sword was sharp, and it didn't need to pierce their throats, it had already made them cold all over, and they clearly felt death.

The flying sword from the Huangquan Sword River was easily displayed by Song Zheng with a weakened version of the flick of the finger sword technique, and it was simply a kind of frenzied knife to kill the chicken against these natives.

Song Zheng said lightly: "Thinking about it, with your stupidity, you shouldn't be able to understand that I don't want to kill more, so I didn't want to make a move."

But my good intentions cannot be understood by your stupidity as cowardice, and become the reason for your presumptuousness. The dignity and wisdom of the strong cannot be insulted, and I can hold kindness in one hand and thunder in the other!"

Giroud was dumbfounded, apparently the strength of the "Adult", and the ability to control such a long sword flying in the air was beyond his common sense understanding.

Song Zheng turned his head to him and said, "In the village, who is in charge?"

"Three priests. Giroud swallowed and replied dryly.

"Priests, why are there three?"

Before Giroud could speak, Dark, who was forced by Song Zhengfei's sword, had already shouted: "It's not a good thing to be able to subdue us, many of the pure people can do it easily, our god fighter will definitely make you regret it!"

Song Zheng looked up, found three places in the villages and towns where the power reacted obviously, and brought the power down, and all the forces in the three locations immediately fell silent and no longer restless.

His eyes were deep, and his heart moved. The people in the three locations who were sealed by him were immediately uplifted by a certain force and fell in front of them.

Duck was dumbfounded, because the strong men he usually admired, the god warriors and priests, were all motionless, maintaining various postures like clay sculptures.

Song Zheng asked again: "What is a pure person, and why are there three priests?"

Giroud was even more shocked than Dack, his jaw was about to fall to the ground, and he suddenly reacted that the adult was asking himself, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground and stammered: "Pure people, pure people are those who have been given strength by the gods of faith, slowly cultivated and succeeded, and have faded away the 'dirty' on their bodies, and can live in a clean city." ”

And the "gods" who have the ability to give believers the cultivation method and let them purify themselves are all powerful gods. This is a world of destruction, and in despair, almost everyone has their own beliefs, but there are only four gods with this ability.

In this world, the gods choose believers. It's not that converting is a believer, and a dirty person like Giroud, or almost all the dirty people in this village, is not qualified to be a believer in those four powerful gods.

As for why, Giroud can't tell.

There are three gods in the villages and towns, and although they also have a competitive relationship with each other, their strength is too poor, and they are more likely to coexist.

If they were divided, then none of the god's followers would be able to survive in this barren land.

Song Zheng secretly said in his heart, "Sure enough", in any world, the gods will not give up. Even if it has experienced destruction, as long as there is a population, there is faith.

And in a world that has experienced the Great Tribulation, faith is easier to promote, and believers are extraordinarily religious.

But why did those four powerful gods not expand uncontrollably? Instead, they imposed some restrictions on their followers? And why did the world have a large population, despite its difficult conditions?

From Giroud's mouth, he also learned that this small village called "Idapos" is the smallest group of villages and towns in the world.

About a thousand miles away from them, there was a large village and town, where the population was 15,000 people, but they were all "dirty people".

Song Zheng had little interest in crushing the lowest-level natives, and when Duck stopped acting stupid and excited, he released everyone. Duck knelt down with a thud, but Song Zheng waved his hand slightly, and Duck was thrown out dozens of feet in front of him by "shifting" and fell out of a street.

A priest understood Song Zheng's intentions and commanded in a low voice, "Don't allow Dak to come over again, the adults don't want to see him." ”

This description is very accurate, he really just doesn't want to see it, and there is no superfluous emotion beyond that. Anger, shame, of course not, Duck is not qualified to make him feel this way.

The priest bowed down and asked, "My lord, your arrival is a great blessing for Idapos, what oracle have you brought?"

For all living beings in this world, the terrifying existence in the Devouring Land represents absolute death and disappearance. No matter what kind of village it is, whether it is a kilometer or a thousand miles into the Land of Destruction, this result will not change.

The beings who can come out of the Devouring Land alive are all "saints" in the legends of this world!

And the saints can communicate directly with the gods in heaven, and they will bring the true will of the gods.

Song Zheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Which god does Priest An and Priest serve?"

An He priest put his right hand on his chest and bowed reverently: "I don't know if I don't have the honor to invite your lord to our altar?"

Song Zheng bowed: "Yes." ”

Ann and the priest were very happy, and he felt that he was one step ahead in the action of winning over the saints for our god.

In less than a stick of incense, he stood under the altar of Anhe's sacrifice. The altar of the dirty people in this world is very crude, but Song Zheng stood under the altar in shock, because the stone statue on the altar, which was only half a person high, was very rough carved, but it could still be distinguished, with a thousand arms and a thousand heads riding a giant elephant.

It was the God of Light in the Hundred-Armed Heavenly Demon Realm!
