Ark City—it should be called a floating city now. The residents in the city have not recovered from the great changes in the world, and they have witnessed the huge waves up to a kilometer. These ignorant residents who have been trapped in the spaceship for thousands of years Can't understand what happened at all. The great natural force, the boundless outer world, the empty and chaotic sky and the vast sea, all these things were unimaginable in the once closed ark. The great changes described to them, so when the giant wolves swarmed, everyone outside the floating city fell into great fear and panic. When countless people saw the Sea of Io, they thought it was the "Sea of Edos" in myths and legends (even though they didn't know what the real ocean looked like), and the huge waves that came in were taken by them. Mistaking it for the legendary monster that devoured the world, the residents on the edge of the floating city fell into extreme chaos.
But when the waves suddenly disappeared, a large piece of strange green things floated in front of us, and a god-like, indescribably powerful existence stood up from the waves and looked down on all beings, this confusion and fear were transformed into great awe .
On the other side, on the sea next to the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, Hao Ren was stunned after hearing Eva's thoughts. He didn't expect this innocent sea spirit to leave suddenly just to give the people on the ark Looking for food—after listening to Hao Ren's words, she kept "they need food" firmly in her heart, so she made the most simple and direct reaction, which was to send the food she knew and the easiest to collect to this group of people. In front of the refugees.
Eva wasn't angry at all, and she didn't have any resistance to these outsiders. She didn't understand these things at all, and she didn't even have time to learn the word "outsiders". Hao Ren and Eva maintained a spiritual connection for a period of time, and then they understood the deeper thoughts of the other party: the motives of this sea spirit were not even good or malicious, she just took what she thought was appropriate. Not to mention what kind of mentality it is...
Just like she cultivated moss fragments into seaweed to feed those shallow sea fish not long ago, she also regarded the people in the ark as a group of hungry small animals soaked in the water, so she rolled some seaweed to feed them — A gardener's mentality.
This deep logic made Hao Ren dumbfounded. He thought it was better not to tell the truth. Eva's worldview is different from that of mortal species. The mortal races don't need to know much about her train of thought.
At this time, his spiritual communication with Eva was suddenly interrupted by a voice from the communication channel. Lawrence asked anxiously: "What happened now? What is this... giant? She is the planet. The... overlord? What does she want?!"
On the edge of the floating city. The residents of the Ark closest to Eva have knelt down in groups at this moment. Facing an incomprehensible mysterious existence that seems to be infinitely stronger than themselves at a glance, the first reaction of these superstitious and ignorant civilians is to beg for safety . They thought that Eva was an angry extraterrestrial god, and now the god was showing his power on the edge of the world, so they all began to pray, hoping that the god would calm down or forgive their sins. There is nothing wrong with this ignorant reaction: their entire existing cultural system is based on such a set of rhetoric.
Vivienne and Lily were standing next to Lawrence, they were also startled by the huge waves just now. But they didn't think Eva was an "angry god". Vivienne had vaguely guessed the identity of the giant in the sea at this time, but she couldn't believe it.
At this time, Hao Ren's voice came through the communicator, and he said loudly to Lawrence: "The Sea God gave you a gift, let's explain it like this!"
Afterwards, a large group of autonomous machines flew over from the direction of the Giant Turtle Rock, and flocked to every corner of the floating city. Each autonomous machine projected a large holographic projection on the front end, and the image of Lawrence was displayed on the projection. Because the previous transformation of the ark destroyed the already fragile and dilapidated communication network of the floating city, now Hao Ren can only let these self-discipline machines act as temporary media terminals. He deployed the self-discipline machines in place. While explaining Eva's origin to Lawrence roughly: "... In short, she is the same as the sea god to you, and the seaweed she brought may be used as food..."
Lawrence rushed into battle in a hurry, but he didn't mess up his position after all. His figure appeared in various parts of the city through holographic projections, and began to explain Eva's affairs to people: "Sea God Eva brought us..."
And Eva watched curiously what was going on in the floating city. She was very curious when she saw those small self-discipline machines flying into the streets and alleys, and even reached out to grab one to have a look. Seeing this, Hao Ren had to jump into the sea again to establish a mental connection: " Eva don't move! Just stay in that pose...”
Then he turned his head and told Nolan: "Turn off the water pump under the ark first, Eva may be curious about that thing, be careful that she gets into the water pump pipe of the spaceship!"
Then he was busy calling Eva again: "Hey, don't knock on the spaceship! That thing can't stand your toss!"
"Nolan is going to open the shells of other spaceships and find a way to divert Eva's attention away!"
"Eva! Don't touch that! That's the reactor!"
It was really a toss in the dark. Hao Ren arranged for Lawrence to give a speech and asked Nolan to adjust the ark as if he was schizophrenic. At the same time, he had to find a way to calm down Eva, who was out of curiosity. After finally everything was settled, he was already as tired as a dog. Soaking in the sea with a face about to die: "... It's the first time in my fucking life that I saw such a huge brat..."
At this moment, no one knows that the three main gods worshiped by the descendants of the Ark civilization were determined under the circumstances of today: the twin goddesses of ice and fire who created the world, and Eva, the guardian of all living beings...
By the time Hao Ren and the others really settled down, it was already dusk.
The sun is setting on Io, and the weather is clear today. The brightest stars have faintly appeared in the sky. The residents of the floating city seem to be welcoming their first starry night in 10,000 years. The Giant Turtle Rock Terrace was floating tens of kilometers away from the Throne Ark. Hao Ren and his party gathered on the edge of the upper platform of the spaceship to say goodbye to Eva in the sea. Eva didn't seem to have any extra reaction to the fact that everyone was about to leave, she just floated happily in the water, rolling around in the splashing waves, making bursts of cheerful clattering noises. Vivian stood beside Hao Ren, her eyes fixed on Eva for a long time: "I really didn't expect to see her again... It's very different from the last time I saw her."
"Last time, she gathered the power of an entire planet, and it turned the world upside down," Hao Ren grinned. "She probably doesn't even have one percent of the power she had back then."
"It seems that she likes the people on the ark very much." Katrina smiled and looked at Lawrence beside her. "I don't know how you will get along with her in the future."
"The twin goddesses of ice and fire, and the sea god of abundance and grace, the three new gods have taken root in the hearts of my people, and the sea god is the most visible and the closest to us," Lawrence also smiled back, " I never imagined that our civilization would continue and recover under such circumstances, which would completely change the various recovery plans we had made, but at this point, we must be friendly with the 'Poseidon'. Frankly speaking, We don't know much about this deity now, but she is not violent or evil, which is fortunate."
"Eva has never been evil, but now she also has a lot to learn," Hao Ren looked at Eva who was rolling and frolicking not far away. Jumping in and out of the body, the shiny golden-red tail reflected the brilliance in the sunset, "I told her some knowledge as much as possible, but after all, there is too much difference in life form and way of thinking between me and her, I have to understand Her thinking is very difficult, so she can only slowly build her own worldview, and this process is the process of getting along with you. If you are friendly, she will be friendly, and if you are tyrannical, she will be tyrannical."
Lawrence lowered his head seriously: "Remember your reminder."
"You can try those seaweeds when you go back," Hao Ren said with a smile, "It's not easy to grow food on this planet."
Soon after, Lawrence left. He couldn't stay here for long, because his people were still waiting for the next step of building a new home. In the next few years, the old man should be quite busy. And when Lawrence left, Vivienne looked at the Ark of the Throne thoughtfully: "'If you are friendly, she will be friendly, if you are tyrannical, she will be tyrannical', this sentence is good, but if they deceive What about this 'god'? Eva looks like a child now."
Hao Ren raised his finger to the sky, and among the stars that gradually emerged, there were some special spots of light shining brightly.
"The 1,200 drone turrets will shine with humanitarian brilliance." (To be continued~^~)
