I Am God!

The Sunrise Mountain Range is very large, running through the southeast of Ruhe Island.

There are many mountain people living in the mountains, and these villages happen to spread out regularly along a road, witnessing the traces of the migration of the ancestors.

The ancestors of these people came here to escape wars and disasters, and have stayed here ever since, and have thrived from generation to generation.

Iva passed through the villages of the mountain people and finally reached the other end of the mountain range.

This place has a title in Suinhall and is called the Land of the Rising Sun.

Many Suinhor people even believe that this is the end of the world, where the sun rises. Because there is the Sunrise Mountains in the middle, the Suinhor people rarely know the news and conditions here.

Iva flew out of the Sunrise Mountains and came here.

A large coastal plain appeared in front of us, with dots of villages, towns and houses scattered everywhere. The land was so vast and sparsely populated that it was difficult to see large groups of snake people.

Because the snake people migrated here less than two hundred years ago.

Finally, he stopped in the largest snake-man residential area.

It's still dark.

on the hill.

Ivar raised the lamp high.

Two flames burned in his lantern, intertwined like wicks.

The light pours down, illuminating everything in the darkness.

There are simple wooden houses on the hillside, animal pens surrounded by stones, toothed beasts crawling in the animal pens, fields full of crocodiles, and the atmosphere of civilization and ethnic groups are revealed one by one in the light.

This gave Ivar a pastoral atmosphere.

The light spread across the hillside, illuminating the city of snakemen below.

This is the only city here, but it is different from Suinhall's city.

The city has no walls, just a large number of wooden houses and a few stone buildings.

Those stone buildings are also very interesting. Most of them are built in a circle, like a large bowl buckled on the ground, with a small window and a single wooden door.

It is often used as a warehouse or for other special purposes.

Most residential houses are still wooden houses.

But to say it is a town is too big.

Because at least tens of thousands of people live here.

There are large and small wooden ships and sampans anchored on the distant coast. It is rich in supplies and far away from war.

Whether they are breeding tooth beasts, breeding crocodiles or fishing for a living, they can all make a stable living.

The people here do not belong to the city-state of Suinhor. They came here across the Sunrise Mountains and have lived here for several generations.

The ancestors of the mountain people in the Sunrise Mountains and the snake people here should be Alsini's subordinates. Members of the planting team of the City of Life were assigned to reclaim homes and build cities in the Sunrise Mountains.

But before the Fire Guard City was destroyed, the war spread to this area.

They were forced to go deep into the mountains and forests, and finally came here.

The snake people in the city woke up when the light covered the earth. They walked out of the room and looked outside.

"Why did the sun rise so early today?" Some people were confused and still didn't understand the situation.

"No, that's not the sun." Some people were twisting and looking towards the seaside, while looking at the place where the light came from in horror.

In their memory, the sun could not rise from the west.

The city immediately became agitated, and everyone felt something was wrong.

An old man came toward the hillside surrounded by people. The old man was a powerful person at the second level. He felt the mythical power in the light.

Although he didn't know what a myth was, he knew that the source of the light was definitely a god.

Because this is not a power that mortals can possess.

And he secretly felt that he yearned for that kind of power, as if the power of the god was resonating with his spirit.

The group of people came to the foot of the hillside and knelt down and kowtowed at the old man's order.

They raised their heads, and their eyes gradually became familiar with the light.

Their vision gradually penetrated the light and saw the shadows and outlines behind the light.

It was a man wearing a silver smock. This time, he did not transform into a snake-man. He just stood openly in front of everyone.

"No tail?"

"The form of God."

"The legendary divine form."

The crowd screamed, but immediately covered their mouths as soon as they spoke.

They also knew what kind of existence it was that summoned them.

That infinite light comes from man...

No.

The lantern emanating from the god's hand illuminated the place like daylight.

The old man came to Iva alone. He was the elder of the largest ethnic group here and the person with the highest status here.

The old man felt uneasy and said to Iva in horror.

"O great god!"

"Why are you here?"

Ivar told him: "I want to find some pious people who believe in miracles."

He has always been like this, direct and unabashed.

But in the eyes of the old man, this was a god asking them if they were willing to believe in him.

Most people here believe in Samos, the mother of snakes.

They have no temples or statues of gods. This belief is more like worship full of primitive atmosphere than belief.

Moreover, Samos is not yet a god.

So for the old man, this doesn't seem to be a very difficult decision.

In a world like this, what could be more fortunate than being blessed by a true god?

He quickly fell to the ground and shouted loudly.

"The great god."

"We are willing to serve you and become your loyal believers."

Ivar asked the old man: "Who are you here?"

The old man told Ivar: "I am the elder here."

Ivar: "Elder?"

It was the first time he heard this name. The social system of the snake people here was still very primitive.

They do not have a complete bureaucracy like Suinhor, nor are they divided into clear pyramid social classes such as royal family, swearers, aides, commoners, and slaves.

The other party told him humbly and carefully that every tribe, village, and town here has an elder. If something happens, the elders will gather together to discuss and make a decision.

It sounds a bit like the firemen who once protected the Fire City.

He is the head of every village.

"I'm not the only elder here."

"But I can be sure that all the elders here will not refuse to believe in a true god."

When Ivar heard that the other party agreed, he felt joyful in his heart, which washed away his sorrow and troubles.

He looked at this coastal plain and suddenly felt extremely at ease.

Because he had a premonition that he would be able to complete his mission this time.

"That's it."

"Let's start here."

"Since the seeds are planted."

"Then you have to start from the beginning, water it little by little, and then it will bloom."

Ivar finally decided to build a country that believed in the master of dreams.

From the heart of a human heart, the true flower of prayer grows.

In Ivar's vision.

People here have celebrated the Festival of Prayer since they were young. It is their most important festival. They pursue the light of miracles and believe in the most beautiful existence in the world.

He finally stopped looking for any good solutions and just did it step by step.

This is the first time that Ivar has used his power so openly, and it is also the first time that he has revealed his identity as a god directly in front of thousands of people.

He is changing little by little.

The old man kneeling on the ground asked at this time: "Great God."

"Your humble believers, we are mortals like dust, are we qualified to know your noble name?"

Ivar told him: "I am the servant of Sheila, the master of dreams, the demigod Ivar."

Although Ivar is not a demigod with dream power, he is an existence guided and created by Sheila.

He considers himself a follower of Sheila.

As for the God of Insai.

Yinsai doesn’t need followers, just like He doesn’t need followers.

——

Originally, this city was only called by the name of one local tribe. They did not have the name of a city. Disputes that could be called wars rarely occurred here. Any issues could be resolved through negotiation among the elders.

But from the moment the god came, the city had a name.

It's called the City of Lights.

Because it was the gods who illuminated the city with lights and brought them future and light.

Taking them from the primitive era to another future that was once unimaginable.

It also means that from now on, they will step out of the darkness of the wilderness and step into the lights of thousands of homes.

The snake people built a temple for Ivar, and Ivar did not resist, because the temple was just a house for him to live in.

But most of the people living inside are gods.

Or a statue representing a god.

The temple in the City of Lights is completely different from the temple in Suinhor. Like the very distinctive buildings here, this temple has a semicircular top.

The newly built temple does not have much sense of art. The rough white stones give off a rough feeling. The entire temple is more like an ancient building built by primitive ancestors for religious worship.

The only qualifying point is.

It's huge.

On the day when the temple was completed, Ivar summoned the elders.

Behind Ivar is the statue of Sheila, the master of dreams. This statue was built by Ivar according to the fairy in his memory.

There were waves in the sea, and the fairy came walking on the waves, with a gentle smile on his face and an indelible gentleness in his eyebrows.

Ivar told the elders: "Your civilization is too backward. I will give you some power so that you can have your own power and eventually build your own country."

"but."

"The moment I give you power, you will become my servant."

Ivar's voice became serious. He hoped that the mortal in front of him could seriously consider before deciding their future.

"Not now, and not in this lifetime."

"But...an eternal servant."

"Even after you die, you will become a part of me instead of returning to the kingdom of the Creator."

It is not an easy task to become a priest of the Wisdom Demigod.

first.

Your power must be close to the attributes of gods, and you must open your heart to gods without reservation and accept the power of gods.

As for the elder in front of him, Ivar found that he was very suitable for his power.

As for whether he is pious enough to fully open his heart to God.

Ivar believed that if he was willing to hand over everything to him after death, he must be an extremely devout believer.

The elder was trembling with excitement. He opened his hands and wanted to shout loudly to say that he was willing.

But he is afraid of losing his composure in front of the gods and making the gods feel disgusted.

He clenched his fists several times before finally calming down.

He was about to be recognized by the gods, so he had to let the gods see his piety and let him know that his humble self had a heart that completely believed in the gods.

He organized his words in a panic, and finally said with his whole body lying on the ground.

"I would like to be your servant."

"That is my glory and the glory of everyone in the City of Lights."

Ivar finally remembered something, and for the first time he asked the mortal who would become his servant.

"May I have your name?"

The elder said seriously: "The ferry god who holds the light to guide the souls of the dead, the god Iva who controls desires!"

"Your servant's name is Xinji."

It means gold.

But in the words of the snake people, there is also a part that represents eternal meaning.

Ivar nodded: "So."

"Xinji."

"I will give you the power to control the light of desire, and you will make an unbreakable contract with me for eternity."

"In life, you were my priest and guarded my temple."

“After death, you are my light, illuminating my garden and my kingdom.”

The elder raised his hands high: "You are my eternal god."

"The only master."

Ivar shook his head: "No."

"Your faith belongs to Sheila, the master of dreams, and I am just his follower."

"I hope you can remember this, and I hope your descendants and descendants will always remember it."

The elder felt that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, which made God Iva a little dissatisfied.

But he is just a humble mortal, how can he distinguish the difference between gods.

In his opinion, Ivar's power was beyond his imagination. He could not understand how great the dream master was.

There is no way to know that the dream can be turned into a sea of ​​stars, and how majestic the shadow of the gods guarding the dream world is.

Ivar raised the lantern and illuminated Elder Sinji's face.

In Xinji's eyes, light was flowing.

Xinji saw a huge stone gate, he saw many flowers representing desire, and thousands of people's faces were floating in the flower cups.

Some screamed hoarsely in fear, some laughed wildly inside, and some showed greedy and ugly faces.

And Xinji.

I saw myself in it.

He saw the greatest desire deep in his heart. He was afraid of death. He didn't want to die like this.

He wanted to live longer, and he longed to exist as eternally as his name and as gold.

Even though he knew that this was an impossible thing, it was an uncontrollable instinct for mortals, especially when they were really facing aging and approaching death.

"The light of desire."

"Will give you power beyond wisdom and mortal world."

Xinji heard the voice of the god, and he saw the flower on the door of desire come to life, and its roots penetrated into his body.

He saw that all his power and consciousness were drawn out, stirred and fused in the flower cup, and finally transformed into a special spirit body.

He became part of the gate, part of the power of the god Ivar.

In reality, his strong desire arises from his consciousness.

With all his power, he merged in the void with the golden accessory around his neck.

finally.

It transformed into a slightly smaller golden lantern.

This is a magical item that belongs exclusively to Xinji.

This prop is completely integrated with Xinji's own power, or it is a part of him.

He will rely on this prop to practice and transform, to gain more powerful power.

The first priest of the god Ivar appeared.

Xinji looked at the lantern and grabbed it in his hand.

"The golden lamp."

Xinji could feel the lamp growing out of his desire.

He controlled the flame in the lantern to fly out, and touched the flame with his hand.

He didn't feel any burning at all, and even felt warm and comfortable.

And the moment he touched it, Xinji felt the power of the flame.

"This flame can burn away diseases in the human body and heal people from serious injuries?"

Xinji even felt that if he used this lamp to protect his body for a long time, it could even delay a person's aging and help him live longer.

And he could feel that he could make this light stronger.

Because this is just the initial form of this lamp.

Xinji looked at God Iva in shock, and God Iva also said to him.

“Whatever you desire will be answered.”

Xinji completely worshiped the power of the gods, and he said wholeheartedly.

"O great god!"

"Your will, your will."

"It will be our eternal beacon."

"As long as your light shines in your direction, we will use all our strength and give everything we have."

——

City of Lights.

Under the temple.

A patient was lying on a rattan mat.

Elder Xinji raised the golden lamp high, and the light flowed from the golden lamp.

Under the burning flames, the seriously ill and dying patient was not only unscathed, but the abscesses on his body could even be seen healing little by little.

Not long.

The patient stood up from the rattan mat. He was walking unsteadily and looked a little confused.

But it didn't take long for him to fully understand the situation immediately. He looked at his hands excitedly, showing the scars that had not completely disappeared.

"I'm cured."

"I'm all healed."

Everyone below exclaimed, and more people went up to ask the elder Xinji to save their family members.

Xinji agreed one by one. This is the best time to promote God's faith and mercy.

Elder Xinji shouted: "This is the power God has given me."

Xinji looked at everyone below: "Only the most devout believers, those who can devote everything to God, can receive God's gifts."

"Even if you are just a mortal, even if you have no talent."

"As long as you believe in God, you can get everything you want."

Everyone under the temple fell into madness, and they chanted the names of the gods Sheila and Iva, the masters of dreams.

Xinji said at this time: "The gods have designated a festival that belongs to us - the Festival of Prayer."

"Today is this great holiday."

"This is a day that we must never forget, no matter where or where you are from now on."

"As your sons and grandsons, we must all remember this moment. This is our oath to God and our belief in God."

Xingi's voice echoed throughout the temple, and his words could be heard in every corner of the city.

“Let us make a wish to the gods and holy spirits, and the gods will respond to the most pious among us.”

Everyone knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly.

However, at this moment, a young man suddenly floated up in the crowd.

Ivar found someone in the crowd who had the talent to become his priest.

The boy was originally just an ordinary person, born with no power.

At this moment, a door appeared in front of his eyes, and after opening it, a giant silver flower swallowed him up.

The young man felt that he had no body and turned into a transparent person emitting silver light.

And the stone slab under him suddenly burst into dazzling light.

It became a magical item connected to his spirit and consciousness.

It is a stone lamp with a white flame inside.

The young man transformed from an ordinary person into a priest of a god in an instant.

The powerful one above.

Xinji waved his hand and led the young man to the foot of the temple.

"congratulations."

"God's new servant."

The young man was at a loss, but he kowtowed towards the temple devoutly.

Others are even more crazy, wishing they could be the next person chosen by God.

They don't know.

The gods may not need the gift of power when they choose priests, but they also need another kind of talent.

Not everyone can do it, as Synge said.

A new kind of powerful people appeared in the City of Lights, they were believers and priests of the god Ivar.

Because their first priest condensed the golden lamp, a large number of subsequent priests also chose to use gold and metal as carriers to create their own magical props.

They are famous for their ability to use the power of their own desires and desires to smelt various gold, silver, copper, iron and other metals to create various magical props.

Divine props are everything to them.

Through magical props, they can master strange powers that are not originally belonging to the snake people, and control lightning, wind, fire and other powers.

They can also use the characteristics of their magical props to create a variety of convenient creations, or medicines that can treat diseases, etc.

They are always inseparable from playing with various metals and making various foreign objects.

Therefore he is called an alchemist.

And the power they have mastered to use the power of desire to create various magical props, make strange items, and medicines is also called alchemy.

The temple of Sheila, the Lord of Dreams, and the statues of Iva also began to be scattered in various places in the Land of the Rising Sun, whether it was fishermen on the seaside, residents of towns, or herdsmen grazing herds.

Many people came to believe in Sheila and Ivar.

Even among the mountain people there are legends about the miraculous power of fairies and the gods of alchemy and desire.

Because he was once the dream ferryman appointed by Sheila, the master of dreams, so his image is often seen with the boat. Every fisherman who goes out to sea here will worship the idol of Iva and pray for him to bless him.

Even if they are unfortunately buried in the sea, they still hope that God Iva can protect them and enter the kingdom of God.

besides.

The statue of Iva also looks like the god of desire holding a lamp, or the god of desire with seven faces. In some places, the cup of desire is also regarded as a symbol of Iva.

And Sheila, the master of dreams, became a supreme god.

Although people have never truly seen the power of this god, as long as they think that God Iva is just a servant of this master, they will have infinite admiration and admiration.
