What era is it, still traditional card making

Chapter 759: King Gu Lei

"I always feel that this so-called inscription is not a good thing."

After obtaining the information he wanted, Ye Qiong let the five demons go and asked them to help him continue collecting more information about the demon clan.

Cornelia had similar thoughts to Ye Qiong, so she came forward and said:

"Is it really right to keep the magic power in my body? Shouldn't it be adapted to the environment normally?"

  She was not wrong.

The demons' practice is equivalent to treating their bodies as a warehouse, storing countless magical powers in their bodies.

The so-called inscription is the door of the warehouse.

After choosing this path, they have only two options to survive.

One is to expand the warehouse capacity, and the other is to reinforce the warehouse door.

  In Ye Qiong's opinion, both of these paths are quite stupid. As the saying goes, it is better to open up than to block.

Expand the capacity of the warehouse? As long as the ether concentration in Tucker Continent remains as high as it is now, the speed at which the demons become stronger will not be able to keep up with the speed at which they absorb magic power.

  As for reinforcing the warehouse door?

You know, the demons passively absorb magic power every day and night.

  The warehouse will eventually be full. By that time, no matter how strong the gate is, it will not be able to block the magic power in the demons.

The consequences at that time will not be as simple as spontaneous combustion.

  The best thing for the demons to do is to adapt to the environment and find ways to consume the magic power in their bodies, or to be smarter, find ways to use this magic power to practice.

In this way, the uniqueness of the Tak continent is no longer a disaster for them, but a blessing.

Did they really not notice this?

  The history of the demon race is not short. It is impossible that there has not been a single smart person in hundreds of years, right?

Ye Qiong always felt that the current situation of the demon race was deliberately guided by someone.

Don’t you think they look alike?

  The inscriptions of the demons, as well as the magic stones that store magic power,

If the demons have always maintained this tradition and sealed the magic power in their bodies,

Then there is no doubt that the magic power they have accumulated is undoubtedly extremely huge.

  If it falls into the wrong hands.

Ye Qiong unconsciously raised his head and glanced to the north, which was the direction of the Demon Clan's royal city.

If we were to ask who is most likely to do this, it would undoubtedly be the Demon King, Gerson Gulei.

After all, the so-called inscription was invented by Gerson’s ancestor.

He did not intend to speak out his guess. In this reincarnation copy, he planned to focus on Cornelia and Sabrina.

  After all, it is impossible for me to be with them all the time. They will always go on missions alone.

What I need to do now is to cultivate their ability to think independently.

Ye Qiong looked at Cornelia who seemed to be thinking about something, and asked:

"Any idea?"

"Ah, brother."

Being called suddenly, Cornelia was obviously startled, but after calming down, she expressed her analysis.

  Her thinking is different from Ye Qiong's.

Cornelia was more inclined to go to the temple in Pearl City to observe the process of the priest carving the inscription.

She also noticed something wrong with the inscription, but the difference was that her plan was more conservative.

"Brother, what do you think?"

  Ye Qiong nodded, agreed to Cornelia's plan, and then said:

"This time the mission is mainly yours. I won't say too much. If you have any ideas, just go ahead and implement them. You don't need to ask for my opinion."

  In fact, according to him, there is no need to make things so complicated.

Go directly to the Imperial City, capture the Demon King, and use Sabrina's memory search method to look through his memories.

This is the most labor-saving method.

With the fighting power of the three of them, any one of them is enough to fight the entire demon clan alone. There is no need to explore step by step.

However, since he had decided to cultivate their ability to think independently, he didn't need to say much and just watched their performance silently.

He believed that Cornelia and Sabrina would give him a satisfactory answer.

It took them less than ten minutes to successfully reach the temple.

Since the temple is open to the public, they had no problems along the way and arrived at the church smoothly.

Here, they saw many demons praying.

Ye Qiong looked up and saw a giant statue.

This is a sturdy-looking demon man.

Rumor has it that he is the ancestor of the demon race and the creator of this world.

  Ye Qiong has seen this kind of rhetoric a lot. Basically, the strongest people in every world like to give themselves many false names that sound powerful.

What is the God of Creation of the heavens and the worlds, the God of Light who split the chaos?

Although they don't have this ability, what does it matter?

As long as their fellow tribesmen are willing to believe it and their descendants are willing to believe it, that's enough.

The creator god in front of us was most likely born in this way.

Compared to the pious demons around them, the three of them acted quite casually. After all, they had all seen the existence of the World Tree with their own eyes.

  Naturally, I would not have the slightest reverence for this so-called God of Creation.

Their unique behavior attracted the attention of the temple priests.

An old demon wearing a white priest's uniform and a gray beard came up, showing a kind smile, and said to Ye Qiong:

"Since you are here, why don't you come and pay your respects? Maybe if you are in trouble in the future, the great King Gu Lei will save you from the sea of ​​suffering."

"Isn't King Gu Lei dead?"

This is a fact known to everyone, but no one dares to say it, because King Gu Lei has always been their belief. They would rather believe that this king has turned into a real god and is protecting them in heaven than believe that King Gu Lei is really dead.

As soon as Ye Qiong said this, he aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding believers. They looked at Ye Qiong and others with slightly hostile eyes.

The old priest was not annoyed, and still had a smiling face as he spoke:

"Who said that? His spirit turned into the sky of Tucker Continent and has been watching us believers."

  He could see that these three little guys had no devotion to King Gu Lei. After all, in their opinion, the so-called King Gu Lei was just a figure who had been dead for hundreds of years. He might have turned into ashes by now. How could he possibly protect them?

When he was young, he thought so too.

Until he witnessed the miracle with his own eyes,

Only then did he understand,

It turned out that King Gu Lei had been watching them the whole time. "Child, you are still young and don't understand His power at all. As the saying goes, ignorance is innocence. I don't blame you."

Although the old priest had never shown any hostility from beginning to end, his attitude had always been one of superiority.

It was as if telling Ye Qiong and the others,

You don't believe how much of a loss King Gu Lei suffered.

What he didn't know was that his current behavior of regarding everything King Gu Lei said as truth was the most ignorant one.

After traveling through so many worlds, he had long been accustomed to the existence of such people, so he did not reveal any emotion and remained as calm as ever.

  The young Cornelia at the side could no longer hold back and cursed at the old man:

"Who are you to judge others? You are the ones who know the least about this world."

  The old priest just chuckled and said nothing. It seemed that he had no intention of arguing with these young people.

He returned to his original position and knelt down devoutly towards the statue of King Gu Lei again.

Cornelia also understood that she could not get along with these believers at all, so she sat next to Ye Qiong and observed the layout of the temple.

"Why is this so annoying? Everyone has the right to make their own choices. We are just outsiders and should not interfere too much in their choices."

"Even if it's such a stupid thing?"

Cornelia could see that the statue had not absorbed any power of faith.

This shows that the so-called King Gu Lei is a person who does not exist at all, and their beliefs have no meaning at all.

  For a young person like Cornelia, she didn't understand the meaning of this behavior.

Let King Gu Lei become the spiritual pillar in their hearts, so that they can live with faith in this cruel world?

But the problem is that the path that King Gu Lei pointed out was fundamentally wrong. He led the demon tribe further and further down the wrong path.

What is there to admire about this guy?

In response, Ye Qiong simply replied:

"Have you ever thought that the reason why we can judge that the path of the demons is wrong is because we are outsiders and have seen more things.

However, they did not have many sources of intelligence and had no idea what the outside world was like, so they firmly believed that King Gu Lei was right.

Our perspectives are different from theirs from the beginning to the end. Their right and wrong are completely different from our right and wrong. Cornelia, do you understand what I mean?"

Cornelia showed a thoughtful expression and answered:

"So we are going to correct their mistakes?"

"No, it would be too arrogant to use your own values ​​to correct other people's perceptions of right and wrong. Remember, we are just outsiders. We are not here to correct their mistakes, but to put the world back on track.

It doesn't matter whether what the demons did was right or wrong.

The survival of the world is the most important thing to us."

After saying that, he looked towards the gate from afar and saw a woman holding a baby walked in. It seemed that she wanted to ask the priest to carve an inscription for her child.

  Cornelia was still thinking about what Ye Qiong had just said, so she didn't notice the woman's arrival at the first sight.

Only after Ye Qiong patted her on the shoulder did she react.

Yes, they came here to see how the inscription was carved, not to argue with this old man about right or wrong.

  Cornelia focused her attention on the ceremony that was about to take place.

She wanted to see how this so-called inscription could protect these young demons.

  The ceremony was open to the public, and even non-believers like them could watch.

The person in charge of the ceremony was the old priest who had just quarreled with them.

He walked up to the woman and gently patted the baby's forehead, as if he wanted the child to focus on him.

  As if realizing what was about to happen, the baby suddenly started crying loudly.

The old priest just gently stroked the baby, and then spoke in a loving tone:

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Once the runes created by King Gu Lei are engraved on your body, you will be considered to be fully born into this world.”

As if the baby was infected by the kind old man in front of him, his crying stopped and his big black eyes looked at the stranger in front of him with curiosity.

The old priest hummed a mysterious ballad, and the baby seemed to feel tired. It slowly closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After doing all this, he turned his attention to the woman holding the baby, smiled kindly, and replied:

"Don't worry, King Gu Lei will not harm his descendants."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, took the baby, and placed it on the altar under the statue.

The believers around seemed to know what was about to happen, and they all began to sing hymns.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the temple became strange.

Compared with these fanatical believers, Ye Qiong and his companions seemed somewhat out of place.

  Sabrina didn't know why, but she felt that the priests in front of her were very annoying, and she was also disgusted by this so-called ritual.

She raised her head and looked at Ye Qiong who was sitting next to her, as if asking him:

"Can I do it?"

  In response, Ye Qiong just shook his head and replied in a low voice:

"This is their choice and we have no right to interfere."

  This is the tradition of the demon clan since ancient times. What right do outsiders have to interfere?

If this were really done, I'm afraid the baby's mother would be the first to disagree.

In the eyes of the demons, inscriptions are more important than their lives. After all, without the rune bestowed by King Gu Lei, they simply cannot survive in this cruel land.

After getting Ye Qiong's answer, Sabrina looked disappointed, but didn't say anything more.

In her eyes, Mr. Qiong is the most trustworthy person besides her mother, and his judgment can never be wrong.

This ceremony did not take a particularly long time and was completed in less than half an hour.

A light blue mysterious rune appeared on the baby's chest. This was the inscription that the old priest had just carved for him.

The woman looked at the child on the altar, her eyes full of worry, and asked the old priest:

"Father Rambo, can I take the child back?"

"Of course he can. The ceremony has been completed and he has earned the right to live on this land."

"Thank you, merciful King Gu Lei."

After saying a lot of words of gratitude, the woman took the child back, bowed to the old priest again to thank him, and then left the temple.
