The Growth of a God

Chapter 16: The Firstborn Son of God
After the world-destroying disaster, all things are reborn.

However, this actually makes no essential difference to the undead living in the central plains.

As beings born from Li Hao's corpse, they are immortal, heartless and desireless, and they simply cannot understand why there is anything so terrifying about the sun falling from the sky.

Similarly, they cannot understand why other animals often never wake up once they fall asleep, and then gradually turn into piles of bones.

It must be mentioned here that these animals did not originally exist in the Central Plains.

They are creatures born again from the earth after the world-destroying catastrophe.

Although they were just some of the most primitive creatures, some of them had not even evolved a true spine.

But in this world where dragons once existed, even primitive creatures possess extremely tenacious vitality and spirituality.

If these primitive creatures are given enough time to evolve, I believe that in the near future the Mountain and Sea Realm will once again become the world of dragons.

Unfortunately, these unfortunate primitive creatures appeared in the land of the undead.

The undead have no concept of death. They only know that they are finally no longer alone, so they excitedly "play" with those primitive creatures.

The undead people who were only focused on "playing around" did not notice that their "companions" were gradually becoming listless, weak, and even dying.

After all, in a sense, what the undead see as "playing" is no different from torture in the eyes of normal creatures.

Because of pure curiosity, I tore off a part of the body tissue of those primitive creatures...

Because they don't need to rest, they torment those primitive creatures day and night...

Because some primitive creatures looked so scary, the undead decided to drive all creatures of this kind out of the plains...

Curious, ignorant, yet cruel...

These are the original undead, a group of naughty and ignorant "urchins".

This situation continued until Scarface returned.

As the only prophet among the undead race, he may also be the first prophet in the world.

After experiencing the "world-destroying disaster", Scarface, under the guidance of Li Hao, went to some areas that were still covered by the "fog of war".

Not to mention his wisdom and knowledge, his experience alone is beyond that of most ordinary people in the normal world.

Therefore, under the guidance of the prophet Scarface, the undead people passed through the initial ignorant stage and gradually formed a simple but complete worldview.

At the very least, they have realized their own uniqueness.

Compared with their own kind, other animals are too "weak" and will "fall asleep and never wake up" if they are not careful.

Even Longlang A'dai, who had always been following the Scarface Prophet, would fall into a weak state due to various reasons such as lack of sleep, food poisoning and accidental injuries.

"So... we are a race favored by the 'Creator'?"

There was a hint of pure stupidity in his eyes.

An undead with a huge hole in his chest suddenly raised his hand and asked a question.

Through the huge hole in his chest, others can even clearly see the scene behind this undead man.

Such a fatal and horrific injury.

If it were any other creature, it would have died more than a hundred times.

Only these beings who are born with "immortality" can express their inner confusion to Scarface with great enthusiasm.

“Don’t use a self-deifying word like ‘favor.’”

"We are just a group of lucky people, a group of lucky people who were noticed by the 'Creator' by chance."

He shook his head slightly to deny the idea of ​​immortality.

Scarface was seen stroking Longlang A'dai, who also had a bewildered look on his face, while explaining in an orderly manner.

"The Creator is the foundation that keeps this world going. He is a great existence that we cannot even imagine."

"The giant who saved the world before was just an apostle under the command of the Creator." "The Creator will not show mercy because of our prayers, nor will he be angry because of our hatred."

"Whether we believe it or not, whether we care or not..."

“He is there, the eternal truth.”

Scratching his head in confusion, the undead man obviously couldn't understand Scarface's complicated words.

“If He doesn’t care about us, then why do you want us to believe in His existence?”

Hearing the undead man's question, Scarface was stunned at first, then he narrowed his eyes and focused his gaze on it.

“There is no necessary connection between caring and believing.”

"The earth beneath our feet and the sky above our heads will not give us extra rewards because of our prayers and hatred."

"But can you deny the existence of the earth and the sky?"

After a slight pause, Scarface continued to add.

"The reason why I spread the story of the 'Creator' to you is because I have personally experienced His presence."

“So as His prophet and messenger, I feel it is necessary for me to let you know His deeds as well.”

"As for whether you intend to believe in His existence like me?"

"That's your own choice."

"I cannot influence your thoughts, nor do I intend to influence your thoughts."

"Because the 'Creator' gave us souls, but never interfered with our will."

"As His prophet and messenger, I also choose to respect your will."

Having said that, Scarface was afraid that his explanation was not detailed enough, so he went further.

“Harmony without being uniform, inclusive without competing, calm without being arrogant, modest without being competitive, and in a group without being partisan.”

“The world is complex and ever-changing.”

“Understanding the world is never just about following a single set of rules.”

"As the first group in the world to realize 'self'..."

"We should learn to accept those 'brothers and sisters' who are different from us, and accept the different choices made by different individuals in the world."

Still somewhat dazed, the undead present had already heard the consciousness in Scarface's words.

It is true that the other party is the priest of the Creator.

But he did not require other immortals to become messengers of the "Creator".

On the contrary, Scarface simply imparts what he knows and feels to his kind without reservation, hoping that they can one day make their own choices.

"False faith is not what our Lord seeks..."

"It is not my will to guide you to become the messengers of my Lord..."

"I look forward to your awakening, and to you making a different choice from me."

"Even if you one day stand against my Lord and become my enemy, I will only feel relieved."

No more extreme words such as "heresy" were used.

Scarface simply used the term "my enemy" to address various possible options in the future.

"'Firstborn Sons of God', this is the responsibility you bear."
