"What you mean by eating...can't be it."
Yang Yu looked at the stone carving that seemed to be a rubbing from the mural, and he couldn't bear to look at it.
He felt something stirring in his throat.
No wonder.
Eyeballs this big are weird enough, but imagining the eyes being eaten makes people feel even more physically uncomfortable.
Li Yi didn't care so much and asked.
"Didn't you say that this giant eye is a totem? But I think this is a very ordinary daily scene."
Hearing this, Heishan had no reaction, but Yang Yu's reaction became even bigger.
Such a disgusting thing, do you call this everyday?
At this moment, in front of him, the tentacles next to the giant eye on the screen seemed to come alive all of a sudden, squirming non-stop.
Thinking that people at that time regarded these things as food, Yang Yu couldn't help but covered his mouth with a "yue" and rushed out of the door. After a while, he heard the sound of flushing coming from the toilet.
Li Yi:......
After vomiting, Yang Yu felt much better. After washing his face, he cheered up and walked back to the room when he happened to hear Heishan telling a story:
That's not an everyday thing. I heard the elders in my family say that this painting actually depicts the scene of the first totem sacrifice that year. Because it is of great commemorative value, it has been passed down for so long.
Back then, our family was not a clan of gods, just a very ordinary small tribe.
Humanity at that period had no productivity at all. It was at the most basic stage and had not yet formed a society in the practical sense. In order to resist the invasion of foreign enemies and wild beasts, people habitually gathered together based on close relationships and gradually formed the most primitive social structure.
Humans during this period were still mainly hunting, and the beasts of that period were much stronger than today.
Therefore, it was a period dominated by the worship of power, so totem culture came into being.
The elders in the family said that the giant eye was the original totem of faith of the God's Clan.
Speaking of this, Heishan pointed at the giant eye on the rubbing and said something shocking.
"This is said to be something given to our clan by the gods at that time. As long as we cut it into pieces and eat it raw, we can gain the same power as the gods. Therefore, this is actually a scene of receiving a gift from the gods. At first, I thought it was just It’s a legend, but after hearing your guess that day, I immediately thought of this painting..."
Having said this, Heishan looked at Li Yi, as if waiting for his answer.
Li Yi fell into deep thought.
To be honest, before killing Arrogance, Li Yi didn't believe in any evil alien gods.
Although he did meet a lot of gods and had contact with some gods.
But those are actually gods created by the gathering of consciousness, such as the God of Death, the God of Sleep, etc. This kind of god born from collective consciousness can distinguish good from evil at a glance, because of the consciousness that gave birth to it. It is destined that this type of god will not cause any harm to human beings. At most, they just follow the laws of nature and continue to cycle.
Just like once before, Li Yi helped the God of Sleep because of something involving human beings.
In other words, gods born from human consciousness generally do not harm humans. Even when humans encounter huge crises, these ideological gods will come to help.
Therefore, this type of gods who were born in the greenhouse of human consciousness, in a sense, belong to the kind of gods.
But don’t forget, besides the conscious god imagined by human beings, there is another kind.
Those are real creatures, or we can also call them ancient gods, or alien gods.
This type of creature often exceeds human cognition and is extremely huge. When they are occasionally discovered by humans, they will be blessed by humans' powerful consciousness and become more powerful than before.
Such benefits made these "foreign gods" covet the power that could make them stronger, and began to induce humans in all aspects.
Continuously amplify this fear-based consciousness, thereby gaining the blessing of what they consider the most powerful weapon in mankind.
Consciousness, or in other words, the extremely rich imagination of human beings, is the nourishment of these external gods.
And when they accidentally discovered that devouring human consciousness could gain more and more powerful power, these alien gods became crazy.
They began to frantically search for all similar civilizations in the universe, looking for this kind of civilization that could provide them with rich "nourishment".
In the end they discovered that only humans could do it.
Only the rich imagination of human beings is the breeding ground for them to become stronger.
Therefore, they don't know when they started, but whenever a carbon-based biological planet capable of giving birth to humans is discovered by them, they will be waiting there long ago.
Waiting for the emergence of civilization, and in the early stages of civilization, he showed his power to the ancestors of these civilizations and made them worship them as gods.
In this way, they will get a fixed amount of nourishment, and occasionally they will eat delicious "food" due to human sacrifices.
Later, they simply fixed the days for sacrifices.
This became the origin of traditional human festivals.
Through the endless imagination of human beings, these creatures with originally limited lifespan have not only become more powerful, but their lifespans have also become extremely long as humans have reproduced.
However, they overlooked one thing.
That is, they still underestimate human imagination.
Thus, the conscious god came into being.
Or they can also be called human gods, because these gods were born because of humans and did not originally exist.
These gods that did not originally exist were born in human consciousness, and gradually formed, developed, and grew through word of mouth.
Later, it even began to erode the status of these ancient "gods".
For example, the God of Wealth.
This kind of god, which was not born until humans had commodity exchange and general equivalents, was even linked to a very famous businessman in history.
And as time goes by, the power of faith consciousness becomes stronger than ever.
When human society entered a period of peace, such power was unprecedentedly high, but what was ignored were those ancient gods known for their powerful power, that is, the outer gods.
Therefore, it is inevitable that a conflict of interest arises between the alien gods and the human gods.
That’s about faith awareness.
In a layman's terms.
That is the battle of incense.
In Li Yi's opinion, this huge eyeball is probably one of the alien gods.
Like the unknown creature that he knew so far that turned the world upside down with just one clone, it belonged to the same camp as the Outer Gods.
Now, although he has eliminated one of the sources of emotion of this alien god, the clue is broken.
So if we can find clues about this eyeball, can we also find relevant clues about this alien god?
"Let's go, Montenegro, lead the way."
After making up his mind, Li Yi did not intend to delay, and immediately got out of bed and prepared to go.
The two of them obviously hadn't reacted yet. They stared blankly at Li Yi, who had been thinking for a long time and then suddenly stood up and said he wanted to leave.
"Where to go?"
"Where else can we go?"
Li Yi put on clothes and tidied up at the same time.
"Go to your family's ancestral land!"
When Heishan heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and without saying a word, he quickly helped pack it up.
And Yang Yu asked.
"What are you doing there? Do you have a plan?"
What he actually wanted to say was, since those who stayed behind should do something good, such as quelling the war.
Li Yi understood what he was thinking, but he didn't pay attention to it. He just gave him a look to let him understand.
"Let's go. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, let's go our separate ways."
After saying this, he walked away directly.
"Oh, wait for me."
