Chapter 171.2: Kill the New God, Hold a Feast
This world was called the Mortal Heart World. Gods would bestow blessings or protection to their worshippers. Conversely, humans had to offer sacrifices and food. The two depended on one another. A stronger god bred stronger humans, whose sacrifices only empowered the god further.
However, everything changed after new gods descended several thousand years ago. More and more villages, cities, and even nations, chose to worship the new gods.
The new gods were stronger and more wicked. Those who worshipped them were gradually affected in will and spirit, becoming more bloodthirsty and aggressive, frequently invading other villages.
Clearwater Village once bordered Stone Village, each controlling a river, living in harmony. The peace ended after Stone Village converted to worship a new god.
Stone began attacking Clearwater, trying to seize its stream. Several clashes followed and Clearwater lost every time. After all, without divine blessings, their combat strength couldn't be enhanced.
Qi Yuan said, "Someone lead the way. I'm going to kill Stone Village's new god."
The villagers stared at one another. In their entire lives, this was the first time they'd heard of a god personally going to fight another god in a neighboring village.
Isn't the usual way to bless villagers and let them fight?
The fat man asked blankly, "God, are you serious?"
Once a god left its temple, it ceased to be one. Hence why no matter how terrible wars became, gods never fought in person. They'd bestow blessings at most. Yet this god spoke of killing people himself. It felt wrong. What kind of god does something this undignified?
Qi Yuan said impatiently, "Hurry up and lead the way. I'm starving. I'm waiting to eat at the feast!"
These ragged villagers didn't look like cultivators at all. They probably even had to empty their chamber pots themselves every morning.
