Feeding the Lilliputian Kingdom, the vicious female supporting role becomes the savior of the world

Chapter 242 I Won't Change My Mind

"[Prophet], have you been impersonated? How could you say such a thing?"

"You actually asked us to kowtow and admit our mistakes?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The elders reacted violently and stood up from their chairs one by one.

The tall and thin prophet coughed again. His face was pale, his eyeballs bulged, and his expression looked ferocious. As he coughed, a sickly flush appeared on his face. His left eye also turned a strange red, like a blood moon, and only the white of his right eye was left.

The elders had seen him like this before, but every time they saw him, they still felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.

It was the first time that the fat boy had seen such a horrifying scene. He screamed and crawled to the feet of the village chief.

The village chief smiled and helped him up, not caring that he was covered in dirt, and said, "Don't be afraid, sit in my seat first."

The fat boy thanked him repeatedly.

Seeing this, the eyes of the Mo clan elder flashed with anger, and he scolded: "You shameless thing, the village chief asked you to sit down, and you really sat down? Why don't you get out of here!"

After hearing this, the fat boy realized that something was wrong and stood up quickly.

The Mo clan elder picked up the teacup and wanted to throw it over, but he was worried about hitting the village chief, so he had to put the cup down, walked over and dragged the fat boy to his seat next to him.

Although the fat boy's face was full of reluctance, he still did not resist. He stood obediently beside the Mo clan elder and tried hard to reduce his presence.

The tall and thin prophet closed his eyes tightly. When he opened them again, his eyes had returned to their normal black color. He looked weak and tired, and said in a hoarse voice: "You all know that I often dream. Sometimes I dream about the past, and sometimes I see the future..."

"Recently, I've been dreaming about Jinxiu Village..."

"In the dream, all the men, women, and children in Jinxiu Village will be killed by us and dedicated to the great [True God]..."

"But last night, the dream suddenly changed!"

The tall and thin prophet's voice became hurried, and his eyes showed signs of changing color, so he closed his eyes again and said, "I dreamed that Jinxiu Village was shrouded in white light. I couldn't see what was hidden in the white light, but I saw that anyone from our village who approached Jinxiu Village with malicious intent would die!"

After hearing the words of the tall and thin prophet, everyone fell into a brief silence.

The tall and thin prophet still had his eyes closed. He said, "So, I suggest abandoning the action against Jinxiu Village."

"This...I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

One of the elders said with a grim expression: "There is no turning back for us..."

The village chief also nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Lord Prophet, although your dreams have never been wrong, but..."

An elder of the tribe replied, “But, we have been planning to kill the people of Jinxiu Village for a long time.”

"We spent more than three hundred days setting up a complicated sacrificial ceremony outside Jinxiu Village."

"Now, we are only one step away from success. As long as we let the people of Jinxiu Village die in agony, we can complete the ritual and awaken the [True God]!"

"Therefore, no matter how great the obstacles are, I will not change my mind!"

"Me too!"

"Seconded!"

"I agree!"

The other elders expressed their opinions one after another.

Hearing this, the tall and thin prophet opened his eyes. His pupils were dark, with obvious anger and dissatisfaction. He raised his voice and said, "Just now you said that you wanted me to lead you on the right path. Now that I have made suggestions, you don't listen to me?"

The elder of the Mo tribe sighed deeply and said, "Lord Prophet, we also want to listen to you, but the problem is that our village has believed in the True God for twenty years and has been following the guidance of the True God."

"Twenty years ago, the True God asked us to sacrifice all the baby girls in our village. We did so, and the True God rewarded us with bodies that never age."

"You see, ever since I sacrificed my own granddaughter to the True God, I have never aged again."

"It's just that the True God is extremely great. He is suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth and cannot stay awake for a long time. He can only wake up once or twice a year. But even these one or two times can benefit us a lot."

"In order to get the True God out of his slumber, we must sacrifice the villagers of Jinxiu Village..."

The tall and thin prophet coughed a few times and said, "We should be content. We have already gained enough benefits from the True God - the body that never ages, the coin jar that never runs out, and the well that never runs dry... These are enough for everyone to live well. Stop it now."

"No, not enough!"

"All the baby girls and young girls in our village have been dedicated to the True God. Now all the young and middle-aged men in the village are bachelors and cannot find wives. We still need to pray to the True God for beautiful and docile young women..."

"Not only that, we have a well, so we don't lack water to drink, but we still need to grow food ourselves, which is too tiring... Although the copper coins in the [Copper Coin Jar] are inexhaustible, we have to travel far to trade. Jinxiu Village in the west is unwilling to interact with us. Further west is a village surrounded by a miasma forest, which will eat people. As for Hulu Town in the northwest, it is far away and has limited food."

"Also, using copper coins to buy things is too troublesome. I was so poor that I was crazy and stupid that I made a wish for a [copper coin jar]. I should have wished for a toad that spits out silver ingots, or a money tree full of gold ingots, so that we can all live in a big mansion and have servants..."

"Correct!"

The elders became more and more excited as they spoke, and began to discuss what other wishes everyone had.

A hint of disgust flashed across the eyes of the tall and thin prophet. He moved his lips slightly and silently cursed out two words: "Idiot."

What a bunch of idiots.

Ignorance and greed!
Even the wishes made were shallow and ridiculous.

[The never-aging body] only freezes the appearance. In fact, the lifespan is not really extended, and the resistance is not enhanced. One will still die if he gets sick.

[The inexhaustible well] can indeed provide villagers with daily drinking water and irrigation for farmland, but the question is, is the water in the well really clean?
The water was poisonous! However, the poison in the water was very weak. Every once in a while, the tall and thin prophet would bleed himself, dilute it with water, and then give it to the villagers.

As for the [Unspendable Copper Coin Jar], it is even more problematic. Once you have used the copper coins, you will become unlucky after a while. You may choke to death when drinking water, fall flat on your face when going out, or get hit on the head by falling objects from the sky, etc.

The tall and thin prophet explained clearly to the villagers the disadvantages of these three [God's gifts], but the villagers didn't care at all. They even felt that the shortcomings of [God's gifts] were very minor and would not have much impact on their lives.

The tall and thin man knew first: "You must listen to me! I am the [Prophet], in charge of the [Land Deed] of Chaomu Village. If you insist on your wrongdoing, I will have to take special measures to move the sleeping [True God] to the ends of the earth, so that you will never be able to make a wish to the [True God] again!"

The tall and thin prophet's tone was full of threats, but in fact, what he said were lies. The [True God] had already taken firm root in Chaomu Village and could not be expelled at all.

More than 20 years ago, the [True God] that had just been born in the world was still very weak and did not have the ability to bewitch people. It was the greed and evil of the villagers of Chaomu Village that attracted the [True God] to the village and fed and grew stronger little by little...

At that time, the tall and thin prophet was just an ordinary person. He had no idea what the "True God" meant, and he himself was not a good person. Three years ago, when he was out with his brother, they unfortunately encountered a poisonous beast. In order to survive, he made up his mind to push his brother to the ground. His brother was eaten by the poisonous beast, but he escaped safely.

After escaping, he awakened his bloodline and became a [Prophet].

Generally speaking, only people with relatively good character can awaken the [Prophet] bloodline, but in the entire Chaomu Village, there are basically no kind people. All the kind ones are dead, probably because the aura in this village is too consistent with the [True God], and the rules of heaven and earth instinctively reject this kind of evil man-made gods and do not want it to revive. They can only choose a person who has done the least evil in Chaomu Village, let this person awaken to become a [Prophet], and thus save the village.

However, the tall and thin prophet awakened too late, or perhaps he did not have the concept of "protection" in his bones. He was an egoist and did not want to protect the village at all. It was only because of his duties as a "prophet" that he had to bleed the villagers to detoxify and prevent them from being poisoned by the water in the well. He also did not want to stop the "true God", but continued to be a devout believer as before.

However, as time went by, the tall and thin prophet peeked into the past and future of many people through his dreams, and learned that Chaomu Village used to be a den of bandits who made their fortunes by robbing houses. Going back further, these bandits were all escaped from prisons, and they were more or less guilty. They gathered together to form a village, and then plundered wealth and women from outside, and then slowly developed. At the beginning, no one was illiterate, but later, as the blood power of each villager awakened, everyone gradually got rid of the illiterate state and began to learn to read and write, but they were used to killing in their bones, and sometimes a few quarrels would develop into a bloody fight with knives...

The tall and thin prophet saw many things that happened in the past in his dream. He could not only see the past of Chaomu Village, but also the past of many literati and scholars. His concepts were reshaped unconsciously. As he understood more and more knowledge, he began to realize that the [True God] was definitely not a good thing.

Unfortunately, he was unable to convince the villagers to give up their faith.

The Mo clan elder stared at him dangerously, "You want to stop our sacrifice?"

The tall and thin prophet shook his head. "No, I'm not stopping you. I'm just temporarily delaying the action! I also hope to sacrifice Jinxiu Village, but the situation is unclear now, so I need to be cautious..."

"Haha, [Prophet], you are too timid. As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger, and once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back... Jinxiu Village has been under our noses for so many years, what kind of trouble can it cause?"

"We have already figured out the weakness of Shengsen and captured the two brothers of the Wu family. This operation will definitely be foolproof!"

"To put it another way, even if we lose a large number of people during the operation, as long as we wait until the great [True God] wakes up, we will definitely be able to resurrect the dead."

Finally, the village chief concluded: "We will be absolutely fine."

The tall and thin prophet said in a timid tone: "Don't force me! I can really expel the sleeping [True God]!"

As soon as these words came out, the other elders were furious: "How dare you!"

"You are a heretic. You deserve to be tied up and burned alive..."

"Ever since you became a prophet, you have gradually become a stranger to us. In the past, we respected you and were willing to listen to your opinions because you could accurately convey the will of the True God. But now, you are standing against us?"

"What white light... What nonsense! If our entire village goes out and heads towards Jinxiu Village, I don't believe we will all die!"

“You, you guys…” The tall and thin prophet blushed, feeling that he was about to be pissed off by these stubborn idiots. “I’m saving you, a bunch of ungrateful people, I…”

The old Taoist of the Mo Clan said: "Well, you still dare to call us old men ungrateful [things]?"

The tall and thin prophet began to cough violently.

At this time, the village chief walked up to him, patted him on the back, and said softly: "I know you are doing this for our own good..."

"Village... ahem... you... understand..." The tall and thin prophet was very relieved, thinking that finally someone could understand him. If it weren't for the fact that the [Prophet] had to protect the village, he would have abandoned these stupid villagers and run away long ago!

The village chief asked, "Do you know who killed Master Mo last night?"

The tall and thin prophet answered intermittently: "It is white... white light..."

"That's it."

The village chief said slowly, "Prophet, I am very disappointed in you. What you said about white light really sounds ridiculous... I decided to teach you a little lesson."

The tall and thin prophet turned around in surprise and looked at him.

The village chief snapped his fingers.

A bearded man suddenly appeared in the room, holding an empty wine bowl in his hand. He asked in confusion, "Why am I here?"

The village chief said: "I used my bloodline ability to bring you here."

The elder of the Mo clan asked, "Why are you drinking so early in the morning?"

The bearded man burped and said, "I fell asleep halfway through drinking last night, and woke up today to continue drinking... Why did you call me here?"

The old Taoist of the Mo Clan said: "Your good son insisted on saying that Jinxiu Village is now protected by some white light, and asked us to cancel the plan to sacrifice Jinxiu Village."

Hearing this, the bearded man sobered up immediately. Without saying a word, he walked over and slapped the tall and thin prophet hard.

Snapped--

A crisp slap sounded, and the tall and thin prophet's left face suddenly swelled up.

The bearded man cursed, "You unfilial son, I was hoping to make a wish to the True God to find you a young and beautiful stepmother, but you actually want to stop the True God from waking up?"

After slapping him, the bearded man was still not satisfied. "You are such a heartless person. When you are in danger, you can even betray your own brothers. Is there anything you can't do? When your brother went out with you alone, he was only nine years old. Even if you just ran away without him, I wouldn't be so angry. But you actually pushed him! You pushed him!"

The bearded man slapped him again without holding back. He said, "You said Jinxiu Village is protected by white light, right? I must see what kind of white light it is today!"

The old man of the Mo clan said: "I'll go and take a look too. I'm also very curious."

"Let's go, call more young men, take up weapons, and be careful of the ambush in Jinxiu Village."
