Chapter 41, Shepherd and Sheep

On the day when the temple was completed, all the rat warlords and priests were called back by the white rats.

Groups of rat warriors also returned from the forest, and even the slave rats who worked day and night stopped their actions.

At this moment, they devoutly offered prayers and faith to their master who had not even given them a name.

At this moment, countless alien races that were kept in cages were pushed onto the altar.

Gnolls, earth elves, fierce bears, giant horned deer people, clear water fish people, scattered and various alien races were pushed onto the altar, along with various extraordinary plants and items that were either bright or extraordinary.

The rats who had difficulty in calming down also completely calmed down at this moment, without a single sound.

Quietly watching the scene in front of them, even many devout and fanatical priests couldn't help shaking their bodies.

Obsessed with the divine stone pillar in front of him, which had become extraordinary because of the long-term infection of faith and Xiaochun's entanglement.

It seemed that he saw his great god in it, or in the increasingly blurred eyes, he saw the truest self.

The humble mice knew their own insignificance, so they dedicated their desires and souls to the great ones and turned into flames in the hands of the great ones.

These fanatical priests saw it, they saw themselves in the hands of the majestic figure in a trance, that pure and restless flame.

He couldn't help but kneel on the ground, with a blurred look on his face, wanting to grab with both hands, grab himself, grab his own fire of desire.

But at such a solemn time, this extraordinary behavior was not welcomed.

The solemn temple guards, composed of the most elite and longest-lived rat warriors just drawn from the rat army, the temple guards.

Two people set up these confused priests, and in a flash, there was a fresh sacrifice on the altar.

Until their heads were cut off, these guys did not turn back from the illusion in front of them, or they were unwilling to turn back.

This may be the time when they are closest to the fire in their hearts in their lives. Everything that the flame transforms into is what they are chasing, which touches the most fundamental desire.

Unwilling to turn back, unwilling to give up.

It's just a pity that until they fell and turned into part of the blood lake, the flame that originated from them was not affected at all.

The great ones are more greedy than them. When they pinned their desires on Him and turned them into faith, they were captured and had no right to choose.

Whether dead or alive, the shepherd will no longer return a strand of wool to the sheep being grazed.

Perhaps the poor Du Yuan is not the most powerful among these apprentice gods, and his followers are not the best developed.

But it is certain that he was the first to embark on the path of demigod.

In the sea of ​​chaos, countless creatures rise and fall, and countless gods appear and disappear. Why do the new gods dare to call themselves new gods?

Even today, facing the attacks of the surrounding native gods, the new gods dare not say that they have completely gained the upper hand, but this arrogant word "new" is still released.

Is it because of the God Clan Contract? No, it is because of the thing that every new god must do starting from the demigod.

Let the clan adapt to themselves, let the authority and priesthood chase themselves, and let themselves choose themselves.

The true gods of the new gods will not be like the native gods, who are influenced by the priesthood, authority, clan, and even the world, and passively become what kind of gods.

Instead, they understand what kind of person they are, and then become what kind of gods.

Even though it is difficult to violate the rules of the Sea of ​​Chaos, the camp will be fixed at the moment of ascension, but at the stage of apprentice gods and demigods, each god of the new gods has a lot of time to think about his own direction.

Make your own choices, as well as ideas, and transform your own clan, consolidate your own priesthood and authority.

This is why Du Yuan, as a candidate for the future evil god, has not been driven out of the academy.

In the general rules, many gods of the new gods chose to abandon the influence of the nine camps and gather together. Although there are constant struggles, as the road goes deeper, there are many gods with different good and evil concepts.

But when many gods gather to form an alliance under the concept of the new gods.

On a sea of ​​chaos, beyond evil, good, neutral, lawful, chaotic, demarcated, novel, the God Group appeared.

This is why the new gods can develop so rapidly.

Of course, no one will do such a thankless task as turning a succubus into an angel.

When you cast an anchor, it is actually a two-way choice. When you are still a human being, or when you try to be a god, you don’t understand who you are and what path you will take.

This is normal, but isn’t there still a divine core?

This is a strange thing born from the heart of the new gods, the cornerstone of the future godhood.

She can show the true self of the deepest heart of a new god, which can help the new gods avoid many detours.

The choice has already begun when anchoring the clan, and only the right clan will be attracted by your anchoring breath.

For example, Du Yuan is a guy who grew up in the black streets. Can he be kind to the rat people?

Even if he is on the surface, it may not be true in his heart.

This may be the reason why the chaotic and evil rat people choose Du Yuan.

But as a traverser, as a guy who comes from the world of horror where the order, morality, and rules are layered, Du Yuan naturally likes order more, so Du Yuan promotes the transformation of the rat people's theocracy, military merit, and slavery, allowing the rat people to move towards order.

This is the beginning of the road, gradually transforming from ideas. Even if the choice at this time is not absolute, only at the moment of ascending to godhood will the camp be constant.

It can be said that the rat people and Du Yuan chose each other at the beginning, but it is foreseeable that when Du Yuan began to push the rat people to change, and when Du Yuan's influence on the rat people became more and more profound, the rat people would lose the right to choose.

Du Yuan wanted them to be kind, they were kind, and wanted them to be evil, they were evil, and everything about them was determined by Du Yuan's preferences.

This is the price of being close to the evil god.

Above the temple, with the end of the huge sacrifice, all the rat people present held their breath at this moment.

Because of the god who did not respond, because of the god who did not respond! Because of the god who did not respond! !

At this moment, there was complete silence.

Until the white rat suddenly bent down, as if it had aged many years. You know, since Du Yuan gave it the essence of life and promoted it to a hero.

Even those strong rat warlords did not dare to breathe heavily in front of the white rat because of the powerful pressure.

But at this moment, he lost this kind of pressure, as if he had really become a dying rat man who had difficulty even standing.

Suddenly.

The silent atmosphere was broken, and the sporadic sound suddenly exploded, making an unusual noise. All the rat priests and warlords present had some inexplicable emotions in their eyes. Some rat men looked around in panic, and some rat men looked at the weak white rat with hidden ambitions.

Some were confused.

But no matter what kind of reaction the rat man had, as the divine stone pillar in front of him dimmed, his eyes showed uncontrollable panic.

It was a mess.

For all this, the white rat didn't want to care at all, just staring blankly at the divine pillar in front of him.
