Under God's blessing and blessing, the snake people developed rapidly.
They built villages one after another with the City of Life as the center.
They began to leave the city of life. They fought with monsters in the wilderness and then conquered them.
They opened up their own home in the wilderness and provided the snake mother Samos as their master and mother. The snake people gradually took on the appearance of a city-state.
But they also have a sense of crisis.
Because of what God said.
"I hope you can live up to my expectations."
This sentence makes Snake people continue to struggle and move forward hard, and also fills them with a sense of crisis.
in the hall.
The snake people gathered here and blocked the hall, discussing this extremely serious matter.
The snakemen were whispering to each other, their tails wagging unconsciously from time to time.
There was a snake man lying in front of the window with his tail coiled up. Another snake man was entangled on the pillar and raised his body to look at the center of the hall.
Snake Mother Themes stood surrounded by the crowd.
She was the only one in the crowd wearing clothes, a gift she had received from the Mother of Life.
A piece of cloth.
She wrapped this uncut white silk tightly around her body, just covering her entire body, but the lines on her waist and chest were very obvious.
Her slender right arm was completely exposed, exposing one shoulder.
The left hand that is not commonly used is covered under the cloth and is only exposed when it is lifted.
It looks exotic.
But in the eyes of snake people, they are noble and majestic.
All snake people would lower their heads slightly when facing her, not daring to look directly into her eyes, which also showed their respect for the snake mother.
In order to please the Mother of Life and deserve God's favor, the snake people decided to do something for God.
But they didn’t know what to do, let alone how to please the gods.
God is so high, He has power that transcends everything, and He has wisdom far above them.
He has knowledge that the snake people cannot imagine.
He didn't seem to need anything from them. They offered sacrifices and offerings again and again and rarely got God's favor.
To the gods, their efforts did not seem to have much effect. Even if they tried their best, they could not win the gods' smile.
At this time, Snake Mother Themos thought of the scene where gods would leave the human world from time to time. The Mother of Life would leave the mortal world on a "boat" inlaid on a sphere and return to the kingdom of gods.
"Perhaps we can build a tower for God, a very, very high tower."
"It's closer to the world in heaven, so it's more convenient for God to go back."
The snake people thought this was a good idea and asked the snake mother.
"Where should we build? How should we build?"
Snake Mother Themes: "Of course it is built on the highest place."
The highest place in this area is the mountain range where the City of Life is located, and the highest place in the mountain range is a cliff behind the City of Life.
Just do it, the snake people immediately took action.
The mother snake controls the stone giant, and the other snake people also use their magical powers to cooperate.
The stone rises from the ground and continues to rise upward.
They built a simple and mysterious giant tower in the style of the Troll Demon City.
A huge tower was built for Sally, the Mother of Life.
It is more than a hundred meters high, and because it was built with extraordinary strength, it looks like it grew directly from the mountains.
There is no connecting gap, it is directly connected to the mountains.
Looking from the foot of the mountain, the giant tower seems to be connected with the sky.
On the day when the giant tower was successfully built, the snake mother Themes came to the Temple of Life to meet the gods.
She happily told the gods that they had built a huge tower for Him that reached into the sky.
She told how difficult it was for them to build this giant tower, but that they were willing to do anything for the great god.
Snake people believe that in this way they have a role for God.
Sally, the Mother of Life, took one step forward, and palms stretched out in the darkness and turned into steps. She stepped on the palms and arrived at the center of the temple.
Samos became even more excited, she knew the gods.
The Mother of Life's willingness to leave the throne shows that she is indeed interested, which is already very rare.
All these years.
She did a lot of things to please the gods. They caught all kinds of rare and exotic animals and presented them to the gods. There were only a handful of things that could interest the gods.
Sally looked at Samus. She had changed a lot since she was born.
She no longer feared and shrank, she became full of majesty and confidence.
In the eyes of snake people, she is a tall, noble and beautiful snake mother.
Through trials and years, she has become no longer ordinary and ordinary. Only when facing God will she reveal her humbleness.
But it wasn't Summers who changed, but Sally herself as well.
Sally: “So you’ve been busy with this and this lately.”
"It doesn't make much sense, but it seems interesting."
The tower is not far from the City of Life, and the snake people even built a passage specifically for the god to connect to the side corridor of the Temple of Life. Only the god can walk through here.
Sally walked through the passage and climbed up the giant tower little by little.
The giant tower leads to the sky. When you walk up step by step, you really feel like you are far away from the earth and the human world.
Like a staircase leading to the Kingdom of God.
Standing on the giant tower, Sally looked down.
"Why does it feel more troublesome?"
But in this way, the originally ordinary return becomes full of ritual feeling.
Sally still liked it very much.
After saying that, she summoned the miracle item, the fairy's hot air balloon.
She hid the fairy's hot-air balloon on it, and every time she returned, she would board here, and then take the fairy's hot-air balloon back.
When the hot air balloon took off, the entire City of Life was in a sensation.
The snake people all twisted out of the building, looking at the gifts they presented to the gods, and watching the gods' "cars" setting sail from the tower.
"Look!"
“God has accepted our gift, and the great Lord of life has approved of us.”
The snake people who built the giant tower together watched the god accept their gifts with great honor.
"god!"
"God has left."
"What is the world above the clouds like?
"Great Lord of Life! Please allow me to enter the kingdom of gods when I die!"
The snake people watched the hot air balloon take off, penetrate the clouds little by little, and finally disappear from this world.
There was curiosity and longing in their eyes.
Finally, as one snake man crawled down, all the snake men lay on the ground and sent the Mother of Life away.
The giant tower transformed from an ordinary building into a miracle.
The snake people born later even believed that this giant tower was the road to the kingdom of gods and contained countless secrets.
This tower is also called the Tower of Babel.
--------------------------
Dream world.
When Sally came back this time, she saw a different scene. After the hot air balloon passed through the gap in the gate of the Kingdom of God, what came into view was a bright silver moon.
She found that the moon's light was much brighter than before, and the full silver moonlight made it impossible to see the shadow of the Divine Grace Stone.
This made her extremely happy.
The reason why the Moon of God is called the Moon of God is because it carries the will of God Insai.
She waved to the silver moon on the hot air balloon, and the silver moon also cast its light on the hot air balloon and Sally.
Sally felt warm as the moonlight shone on her body.
The hot air balloon passed under the moon and entered the sun.
Sally couldn't wait to climb the steps of the pyramid, and she rushed into the temple.
She shouted as she entered.
"I'm back."
Although there was no response from the temple, Sally looked at the statue erected on the altar and felt that the other person was watching her.
The other party is waiting for him to go home.
She felt that the statue was saying to her: "Welcome back."
Sally came under the statue of Insai and touched the smooth and delicate stone with her hands.
For a moment.
The scene in the temple continued to lengthen, and then turned into an afterimage.
Her vision spans the years and the universe, traveling through space and time.
There is no concept of time and space, there is nothing there.
There is the origin of everything and the end of everything.
She saw the bright star.
An existence named Insai.
But this time, the scene she saw before changed. She saw that the star was constantly approaching her and the world, and getting closer and closer.
She saw stars descending from the darkness, about to fall into the world.
Sally stared at the stars longingly until the light obscured her eyes.
Even if she is so powerful, she cannot bear the power of looking directly at the star for such a long time.
Her consciousness became drowsy, and the indescribably majestic shadow of the stars gradually dissipated.
She yawned and fell asleep at the feet of the god Insai.
She had accompanied God Yinsai like this countless times, lying next to Him and dreaming like this.
She felt like she was sleeping very sweetly.
A few days later, Sally slowly opened her eyes.
When she woke up, she jumped up and ran excitedly around the temple.
She habitually stretched out her hands and put them behind her back to turn into a pair of wings.
He also imitated the sound made by the conch horn in his mouth: "Woo woo woo!"
Finally she stopped in front of the statue of Insai and looked up at the statue.
"I really succeeded!"
"I succeeded."
Sally happily told the idol and told Insai everything God had done for Him.
"O God of Insai!"
"I've done a great job. I created a race, and they will create a civilization."
"They will become your anchor in this world. They are different from the Sanye people. They will become a family worthy of God's favor."
Light shines in from the windows on both sides, and is projected on Sally's front and back.
In a daze.
She seemed to see the statue come to life and praise herself for doing a good job.
In fact, she doesn't know that even if she doesn't do anything, Yin Shen is constantly synchronizing with the flow of time in this world.
Nothing can hinder His return except His renunciation of this world.
Sally walked through the temple of intertwined lights, a smile on her face.
"I can do better."
"I can do more for God Insai."
so.
When the God of Insai comes back, he will praise her even more vigorously.
------------------
In the Temple of Life, Sally summoned her servant.
Samos twisted through the door, slid across the smooth stone slab and came to the front of the god.
Her bare shoulders and hands hidden under the white silk fabric were stretched out at the same time, and she lay on the ground to salute God.
She could feel the joy as Sally was waving her legs happily, her boots tapping against the base of the throne.
As soon as Samos came in, the Mother of Life looked at her with joy.
"My servant."
"You are indeed useful, and so are the snake people."
Then Sally, the Mother of Life, spoke.
"The eternal stars will come to this world, and you will be the lucky ones to witness this scene."
Eternal stars?
Serpent Mother Themos did not understand the meaning of this sentence, let alone that this sentence referred to the god Yinsai in the poetry of the three-leaf people.
She thought that her construction of the Tower of Babel was approved by God. She stood up happily, but she still lowered her head and looked at the base of the God's throne.
"It's all for God."
"Being able to be your servant is already a supreme honor for Samos."
"With your compliment, Samos will definitely be able to do better."
"As long as it is your will, God, we will be able to do it."
Sally was satisfied with Samos' answer.
Suddenly, Sally saw the tail lines at the corners of Samos' eyes.
She was stunned for a moment.
How long has it been since then? Why has this servant of mine changed?
"Samus."
"How many years has it been since you were born?"
Samos has gradually felt aging recently, not only on her face, but also in all aspects of her body.
Nearly a hundred years have passed since the birth of the Snake Mother.
Although the life span of snake people is longer than that of clover people, their lifespan is also limited.
Although the snake mother has the most powerful power and eats the best food, these can only delay her aging.
Hearing God mention this matter, Snake Mother Themos also said immediately.
"God!"
"Almost a hundred years have passed."
Sally thought for a moment, and a sudden realization appeared on her childish face.
"A hundred years."
"Yes, you weak ones can only live for more than a hundred years."
"It won't be long before you all die of old age."
The immortal gods lamented about the short life. There was no empathy, only difficulty in understanding.
But in such a short time, mortal life is about to end.
The life of a mortal is really short.
Sally looked at Samus, her eyes were like looking at a pitiful insect.
But after a short long night, life disappeared without a trace.
When Samos heard the word death, she suddenly felt terrified.
She had thought about this problem countless times. She always thought that this word was far away from her. But now that God said it, she found that death had already reached her.
"O great master of life!"
"Please give your servant guidance. Is there any way and power to prevent aging?"
Sally looked at Samus: "Are you afraid of death?"
Samos did not hide it at all: "The snake people have just been born, our civilization is far from being developed, and your servant still wants to do better."
"Life is so short, and Samus feels like she is about to pass away before she has done anything."
"I am afraid."
"Not just afraid of death, but also afraid of aging."
Death is scary enough, but Snake Mother Themes thinks aging is even scarier than death.
The feeling that the years are grinding down the body little by little, that the body is becoming weak and weak, and that the body is getting closer to death is the real purgatory and torture.
Sally shook her head: "Ageing is the fate of every mortal, only God is eternal."
"Aging is the manifestation of time and the power of time."
"How can you, who are so small, withstand the erosion of the river of time?"
The eyes of Snake Mother Samos dimmed, but at this time Sally said something again.
"But if you can break through the boundaries of mortals and enter the realm of an apostle of God, you can have a longer life."
"Although you will still age and die, you can stay in the river of time for a longer period of time."
Snake Mother Themos raised her head and looked at the high Mother of Life.
Her jewel-like eyes were filled with light, full of hope and expectation.
"god."
“How can I do that?”
Sally said lightly: "If I want you to do it, you can do it."
"but."
"You must be worthy of my expectations."
At this time, God's third test occurred.
Sally told her: "Three thousand kilometers south of the giant island of Ruhe, a big stone demon was born."
"It has the same third-level power as you, and there are swarms of little stone demons for it to drive."
"If you can find it and defeat it."
"I will grant you the method to step into the fourth level. It is the secret technique to break the boundaries of mortals. Although you cannot obtain eternal life, you can also temporarily resist the power of time."
The snake people have learned to enslave the fire demon. They have learned to use the power of fire. Almost all snake people who enter the second level will choose the fire demon to be their partner.
But they yearn too much for the power of fire and forget that the power of stone is their foundation. Stone demons are more suitable for them than other monsters.
At the same time, the stone demons can help them build villages and towns to resist and defend other monsters.
Samos didn't understand Sally's considerations, she just regarded it as a pure test.
But when she mentioned the stone demons, she remembered that a large number of small stone demons had been heading south recently and disappeared into the territory of the snake people.
She didn't know what happened before, but now she knew that a big stone demon was born there.
She asked the god: "As long as you have this secret technique, can you gain the power of immortality?"
Sally smiled: "Of course it's not that simple."
"Becoming the fourth level is the way for mortals to get rid of their fate, and it is the beginning of the journey of transformation."
"Mortals who want to embark on this path must face various difficulties."
"If you want to break the boundaries of the fourth level, methods alone are not enough."
"You also need to have perseverance, extraordinary wisdom, and innate talent."
"but."
"If you can succeed, I may be able to make you my apostle."
The power of the fourth level can be said to have stepped out of the mundane realm with one foot, touching the light of the mythical road.
But at this moment, in order to speed up the development of the snake people and make her loyal servant exist longer, Sally was still ready to give them this power.
After hearing this, Snake Mother Samos felt cold for a moment, and then she was so excited that she could not speak.
She was trembling all over, and she even wanted to ask God, are you telling the truth?
But he didn't dare to speak, and he couldn't speak.
How could she question the oracle because she was so small.
She looked at the existence on the throne and felt dizzy for a moment.
"Apostle of God."
These four words were enough to make her try her best.
---------------
Snake Mother Themes summoned the warriors of the Snake Tribe in the square under the steps. Snake men and women who were tall, strong, and had strong bloodlines gathered together, listening to Snake Mother Themes announce God's will. .
Snake Mother Samos was already excited by the words "Apostle of God". Her cheeks were red and her curly hair was shaking as she spoke too much.
“This is God’s test for us, and it is also God’s gift to us.”
“Under God’s watchful eye, we are invincible.”
"children."
"God is watching us, and we must offer Him our piety and show our bravery and fearlessness."
The voice of Snake Mother Samos was so loud that it was a little broken, but because their emphasis was originally a little hoarse, in fact the difference was not that big.
"Dedicate our faith and piety to God and drive away those monsters."
Under the mobilization of the snake mother Themes, the snake people tribe also went crazy.
They chanted to sacrifice their faith for God and to sacrifice their lives for God.
He said this and thought so at the same time.
They lined up under the temple.
The warriors brandished their weapons and roared to show their fearlessness and bravery.
Everyone brought stone hammers and casting materials, summoned their fire demon companions and set off.
They crossed jungles and lakes, and they saw erupting volcanoes in the distance.
It took them a month to finally find these stone demons.
However, after the battle, they found that the opponent was much stronger than they imagined. Their weapons and their companions, the fire demons, could not cause direct damage to these stone demons.
Fortunately, the colossus puppet of the snake mother Themes was very powerful and blocked the big stone demon headed by it.
After fighting several times and suffering a lot of losses, they also summed up a method to deal with the stone demon.
at last.
They dug out pools of water, set up traps, and started a decisive battle with the Stone Demon clan.
The big stone demon is more than twenty meters tall and fights with the colossus puppet of the snake mother Themes.
Two terrifying monsters were fighting under the mountains in darkness, wielding the power of the third-level curse seal.
They made a big hole in the ground with a random trample, and the mountains shook with a punch.
"Stop them!"
"Are you ready?"
"kill!"
The snake people rushed forward one after another, hitting the stone demon with huge hammers.
The upper and lower body of the little stone demon were hammered apart, but not long after, these little stone demons immediately reunited.
They controlled the Petrified Eyes to freeze the joints of the little stone demons, making them unable to move.
The little fire demon spit out fire and burned the little stone demon's body red. Then these snake men led them into the dug water pool, and immediately saw cracks on the bodies of these little stone demons.
Finally it broke into pieces.
However, many snakemen were killed by the stone demon's huge power and turned into bloody corpses. In the melee, they were run over by the stone demon and turned into a puddle of meat.
This is the price to pay for pioneering in the wilderness. The living space and home are always bought with blood.
The main battlefield on the other side.
The snake mother Themes and the big stone demon are inseparable, and their battle is the key to determining the outcome.
The Snake Mother Themes not only controls the Colossus puppet, but also constantly uses her natural magical attacks to harass the Big Stone Demon.
Sometimes it seals the opponent's joints, making the big stone demon move slowly.
Sometimes he controls the boulder to hit the big stone demon from a high place.
Although the big stone demon did not hit her directly, the violent shock caused her to vomit blood.
She was covered in scars, but she refused to retreat.
She controlled the colossus puppet and fought fiercely with the big stone demon, and her eyes burst out with intense light.
The big stone demon is also very tenacious. There are cracks all over its body, and the rocks are constantly being knocked away and cracking out.
Even half of his head was shattered by the bombardment of the giant puppet of Snake Mother Themes, but the big stone demon did not die.
Finally, the Colossus Golem's tail wrapped around the big stone demon.
Looking at the increasingly fierce battlefield, the snake people were suffering more and more casualties.
Snake Mother Themes no longer played any tricks, but tried her best.
The big stone demon kept rolling, but the giant puppet with a human body and a snake tail held it tightly.
finally.
Bit by bit, twist the opponent into a pile of pieces.
"Boom!"
She watched the huge stone demon collapse and fall in front of her eyes, blood flowing from her eyes.
That's the backlash caused by overuse of force.
Her vision was blurry, but there was a happy expression on her face.
"call!"
She was breathing heavily, holding on to her Colossus puppet.
"I did it again."
In her blurred vision, she felt the gaze on the throne.
The great Mother of Life is watching herself.
The corner of her creator's mouth showed a smile of joy, that was everything she pursued.
Not only does she have to complete the test of God, she also has to become the fourth level.
she wants.
Become an apostle of God.
