Jiang Lin: “…”
Others: “…”
It is really unexpected that the position of God that others are holding on to and don't want to let go is actually being despised like this.
Emperor Yan was still sighing: "In the past, you were still young and couldn't bear the burden of such a large tribe, so I kept supporting you. Now it's all right. You are mature, steady and strong. Yun, Ji and Huan, you are all first-class warriors. You will definitely be able to assist your eldest sister in protecting the Shennong tribe. As for Jiang..."
When Emperor Yan saw Jiang Lin, he couldn't help but reach out his big hands and hug him tightly.
"The son I used to worry about the most has now grown into the son I am most proud of."
Emperor Yan looked at him with relief: "I have always been worried that you would not be able to shoulder the responsibility of being the God of Agriculture, but now, you have done better than I thought. In fact, you have done better than me, the God of Agriculture."
"At this point, I have nothing to worry about."
Naturally, they were unwilling and reluctant to give up, but Emperor Yan probably really disliked this deity position and his attitude was almost impatient.
He closed his eyes, and two bright lights appeared in his body.
One ball fell on Ai's body, and the other fell on Jiang Lin's body.
At that moment, Jiang Lin suddenly felt that he had a deeper connection with the land beneath his feet, the plants on the land, and the people living on the land.
Emperor Yan smiled as if he was relieved.
He is no longer the sun god or the god of agriculture, but he is still a top warrior.
Before leaving, he gave his eldest daughter and youngest son a serious warning: "I call those golden rays you see the faith of the people of the tribe. Do not touch them unless necessary."
"Father, why?" she asked in confusion.
She had just become the sun goddess, and the first thing she heard was a little girl's prayer.
The little girl said she hoped the bright sunlight could shine through the roof and onto her bed, so that her quilt would be warm and comfortable.
Ai fulfilled her wish, and the little girl widened her eyes in surprise. At the same time, some thin golden spots appeared on her body and fell on Ai along unclear lines.
The golden thread made the god, Ai, feel very comfortable.
Emperor Yan said sternly, "I have also come into contact with and absorbed these golden spots. They made me extremely powerful in a very short period of time. I don't even need to fight or practice extra. Every day, my strength will increase much more than before."
Si was puzzled: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Yan Di sighed and said, "I thought so at first, until one day, one of my followers made an unreasonable request to me, and I rejected him."
Jiang Lin vaguely realized what Emperor Yan wanted to say.
"He hated me for this and no longer trusted me." Yan Di said, "I can feel the golden light that belonged to him disappearing from my body. The most surprising thing is that the golden light that disappeared was twice the amount I gained from him."
"I lost twice as much power as I gained from him."
Her eyes widened. "That is to say, if the people of the tribe do not believe in the sun god, the faith I have gained from them will be lost twice as much."
Yan Di nodded.
But she still thought it was not a big deal: "But who among the people of Shennong tribe would reject the gods?"
Jiang Lin gently pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister, what father said always makes sense."
He knew that if he talked to her now, she might not understand, but Yan Emperor had accumulated power for so many years, and she admired him very much, so bringing up Yan Emperor would be more effective than anything else.
Sure enough, after hearing what Jiang Lin said, although she didn't think it was important, she still nodded: "That's right, my father said not to touch it, so I won't touch it."
Emperor Yan felt relieved. After thinking it over, he felt there was nothing more to say. The family had a sumptuous dinner together. After that, he took his wife's hand and disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Lin was still a little dazed: He had become a god so easily and casually
The moment he became the God of Agriculture, Huaiyin and Qingluo in the Emerald Space both sensed it, and their strengths made a direct leap.
The newly appointed sun god, Ni, and agriculture god, Jiang, both found it very novel.
They can hear the prayers of their people almost all the time, important, unimportant, detailed, and trivial.
But within two days, Jiang Lin discovered that he could choose whether to listen to these prayers or not.
If you want to quiet your ears, just block out these prayers.
So the troubles that Yan Emperor talked about do exist!
He simply wanted to give up!
The people of Shennong tribe soon found out that their god had been replaced.
The leader of the Shennong tribe also became the sun god.
The little prince Jiang became the new god of agriculture.
Not long after, she came to Jiang privately to complain: "I thought that the people of Shennong tribe would not be used to my father's departure. But in fact, they have now accepted the fact that you and I have become the new protectors of the tribe."
She even felt a little sad and felt sorry for her father: "Father has protected the Shennong tribe for ten thousand years. Don't these people miss him at all?"
"But sister." Jiang Lin said calmly, "The lifespan of mortals is only a few hundred years. Father protects different generations of people. Moreover, how many of these people have actually seen gods? For them, whether it is the sun god or the agricultural god, it is just a title. What they need is protection and the identity of a god. It doesn't matter who sits behind this title."
Silent.
After a long while, she thought thoughtfully: "Is this why father told us not to absorb those golden points of faith?"
After all, she was a smart person and grasped the key point immediately: "If gods more powerful than us appear in the future, they will also choose to believe in other gods. If I absorb too much faith and lose power twice as much, I will probably lose even the power I already have."
Jiang Lin looked at her with appreciation: "That's the truth."
This conversation obviously overturned Ai's cognition, and the new sun god left in a daze.
Jiang Lin, on the contrary, adapted well to this.
He not only thought of the possibility that Ai had mentioned, but also thought further - as living standards improve, if humans gradually realize that they do not need to rely on the blessings of God, but can create a good enough life on their own.
Then, the role of gods in their lives will become smaller and smaller.
Looking at countless worlds, as civilization develops to the later stages, the traces of "God" will become fewer and fewer.
Because people already know how to create and protect themselves.
Eventually, they will no longer need gods.
Of course, this will be a long process. Considering the current development level of the Shennong tribe, it may take thousands of years.
After that day, she was depressed for several days before she recovered.
But it was a blessing in disguise, as she no longer had any curiosity about those beliefs.
Jiang Lin completely adapted to the identity of the God of Agriculture. After the exchanges between the Shennong tribe and the sea tribe were on track, he began to take out the seeds in his emerald space one by one.
In the meantime, he got a surprise.
It was a tiny dandelion that was found in the emerald space and had been thrown in at some point.
This species did not seem to exist in this world. When the tiny dandelion was grown, Jiang Lin directly felt the irrigation of spiritual energy from heaven and earth - this was a gift from heaven and earth to the first newly emerged species of creatures.
The little boy with short silver hair looked at Jiang Lin cutely with his big eyes.
The silent Nine Spirit Technique began to move, and he became Jiang Lin’s third contracted spiritual plant.
Jiang Lin didn’t have any talent for naming, so he just called people Xiao Pu.
Xiao Pu is small and good-looking, but he has great abilities. His most powerful skill is □□—he can split himself into hundreds of himself, each with impressive strength.
Especially suitable for work... ahem, melee.
This world is the one where Jiang Lin has stayed the longest.
He walked every inch of this world with his feet.
He watched the Shennong tribe slowly develop from a simple ancient tribe into a prosperous gathering place.
As life gets better, more and more people have different ideas.
She gradually felt annoyed.
Later, under Jiang Lin's intentional or unintentional guidance, she selected a successor from among humans and gave up her identity as "tribal leader".
Humans and "gods" were completely separated. However, the Shennong tribe had always worshipped two gods.
Later, dynasties replaced tribes, and humans had monarchs. The power of monarchs was much more concentrated than that of previous leaders.
Human civilization suddenly entered a stage of rapid development.
Jiang clearly felt that the golden spots of light that were always wandering around him had become much fewer.
Ai also discovered this problem. She came to find Jiang, feeling a little regretful but relieved: "You are right, Jiang. For humans, nothing is irreplaceable, including gods."
Jiang Lin comforted her: "Isn't it good now? You don't have to deal with so many prayers every day."
She laughed out loud: "When you put it that way, it seems like I'm taking advantage."
She suddenly reached out and hugged Jiang Lin, whispering, "You are always the smartest among us, Jiang."
"Smart people are not good at resisting beatings." Jiang Lin said with a smile, "I still need you to protect me, big sister."
He was talking about the incident where Tu Su suddenly went crazy and attacked him some time ago. After all, he was not a god who was good at fighting, and his power was mild. Fortunately, he was able to hold Tu Su back, and Ai arrived in time.
My wife also thought of this.
She frowned, then quickly relaxed her brows and comforted Jiang Lin: "Don't be afraid, if that Tu Su guy dares to come again, I will definitely blow his head off!"
Jiang Lin more or less guessed the reason why Tu Su went crazy—this man was not Emperor Yan, he had always been conceited and arrogant, and he must have absorbed a lot of faith.
Now, you should have noticed the backlash, right
Tu Su never caused trouble for the Shennong tribe again.
Jiang Lin stood from the perspective of a god and looked down at the complete process of the development of human civilization.
A long time later, the Shennong tribe no longer existed, and an empire called "Yan" appeared on this land.
Humans have not forgotten the gods who have protected them for so long, but they no longer need them.
The Tu Su tribe has become a thing of the past. The once ambitious frost god Tu Su, having lost his faith, suffered a double backlash, fell into a deep sleep, and disappeared silently between heaven and earth.
Later, Ai came to find Jiang.
"I feel that my people no longer need me." Ai was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved. "I am going to the West to find my father and mother."
The West is an endless ocean that humans cannot set foot on, and humans cannot cross the endless yellow sand. But there is also a legend that behind the yellow sand is an eternal kingdom that belongs to the gods and is immortal.
Jiang smiled and said, "That's right, I want to go too."
"We're going together?"
Jiang Lin shook his head: "You go first, I still want to walk on the land."
Ai was not surprised. She said goodbye to Jiang Lin: "Then my parents and I will wait for you in the Kingdom of God."
Jiang Lin saw her off and thought apologetically, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for me.
He didn't know where he would go or what would happen, so he deliberately avoided being with Xi.
Choosing a sunny day, Jiang Lin set out on his journey to the west.
When walking into the vast yellow sand, Jiang Lin looked back.
In the eyes of the gods, everything they see is the prosperity of the world.
The last god in the human world withdrew his gaze and stepped into the vast yellow sand.
