The Growth of a God

Chapter 705 National Literacy Program
——Picture of the Bai Ze Monster, Dunhuang fragment.

——When walking at night, I saw a fire, and below it were dozens of children with fire wheels on their heads. This thing has two names, the upper one is Youguang and the lower one is Yetong.

——When seeing this, many people in the world died of plague, including eight brothers.

Youguang and Yetong are followers of Jubi, the ancient corpse god.

Perhaps because he had his head broken by a powerful enemy before, he is particularly fond of clans like Youguang and Yetong who were born from soul fire and corpses.

Youguang and Yetong seem to be two different creatures, but in fact they are one and the same.

They practice by absorbing epidemic and deadly energy, and will only pursue plague and death throughout their lives.

Every night, groups of wandering lights and wild children would appear in the plague-ridden areas, becoming synonymous with plague and death.

However, most of the wandering lights can only appear in the form of flames and cannot transform into human form.

After all, their bodies are wild children, and simply transforming the flames into other forms is completely meaningless to ordinary wandering lights.

"So, who is the decision maker between you two now?"

After taking a look at the flaming face above the boy's head, Shuhai asked curiously.

The wild boy's light was given by God, so who has the dominant power, it or the boy himself?

“Generally speaking, it’s a matter of mutual consultation.”

"But if I encounter something I don't understand at all, I'm usually the one who analyzes and judges it."

The light above the young wild boy's head flickered, and he answered in his slightly steady voice.

"All right!"

"Then let's talk business!"

Shuhai simply stepped lightly on the ground, and a complete set of tables and chairs appeared between the two of them.

Although a set of tables and chairs was transformed in the center of the temple, this behavior seemed somewhat offensive and casual.

But considering the undead's usual madness, Shuhai's behavior was already very polite - at least he knew to sit down and talk.

"Did you come to see us on purpose this time?"

Although he had expected it, Ye Tong still couldn't help but ask this question.

Since returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Mountain and Sea civilization has sent people to the "between Yin and Yang" more than once.

However, in most cases, those people cannot even truly enter the "area between yin and yang", let alone communicate effectively with wild children and wandering souls.

"Well, I heard you guys refused to go to the nearby school?"

As soon as Shuhai asked this question, Ye Tong and You Guang on the opposite side fell silent instantly.

The two tried hard to recall, and it seemed, as if, or as if someone had come to discuss this issue with them not long ago.

However, Ye Tong and You Guang could not understand the concept of "school" at all.

In addition, the other party's attitude was not friendly, which led to him being directly expelled from "Between Yin and Yang".

"It seems to be the case..."

In the end, You Guang nodded, but Ye Tong looked confused like most teenagers.

"why?"

"Why are you refusing to go to school?"

"Don't you know that you can gain a lot of knowledge and skills through learning, and then better integrate into the mountain and sea civilization?"

This was not only Shuhai's question, but also the question of the top leaders of the Shanhai civilization who sent him here.

Among the ancient gods' followers who integrated into the Shanhai civilization, Yetong and Youguang were the few groups that directly rejected the Shanhai civilization.

If it weren't for the fact that Bizhishi has a pretty good reputation among the old gods of mountains and seas.

The Shanhai Civilization was a little suspicious, wondering if the god was secretly trying to trip them up.

After all, this involves the "National Literacy Program" of Shanhai Civilization. Not only does Shanhai Civilization not charge any additional fees, it will even provide various subsidies and allowances to those creatures who come to study.

These grants and subsidies include, but are not limited to, various implants that facilitate learning, as well as all-round growth and development programs that are extremely beneficial to the future of these individuals.

“Why should I learn more knowledge and skills?”

The one who asked this question was not You Guang, but Ye Tong who had come to his senses. "We have our own heritage and our own gods. There is no need for us to learn your knowledge!"

It was not just a simple description, Ye Tong's words even carried a hint of resistance and rejection.

"Do you think so too?"

Tilting his head slightly, Shuhai looked at the silent Youguang and asked.

"Actually... I don't think that's necessary..."

Under Shuhai's almost scrutinizing gaze, Youguang answered hesitantly.

"We have our own independence, and you promised before that we can keep our traditions."

Hearing this, Shuhai immediately laughed, even a little wantonly.

"Haha, so this is what you think?"

"It seems that you are well protected by your gods. Do you think that this return to the Mountain and Sea Realm is just a simple move?"

Without waiting for Youguang and Yetong to refute, Shuhai stopped laughing and said.

"I have come into contact with many returning ancient mountain and sea tribes, but your ideas and concepts are definitely the most arrogant."

"Do you think your inheritance is enough?"

"Do you think this return is led by your gods?"

"Do you think the Shanhai Civilization is the same as the indigenous civilizations of the worlds you have come into contact with before?"

"A race that controls the epidemic and brings death, this should be the reason why most civilizations stay away from you, right?"

After a slight pause, Shuhai's next words directly revealed the true thoughts in Youguang and Yetong's hearts.

"Everything you said before was just an excuse."

"You simply refuse to integrate into the Shanhai civilization!"

"You are afraid. You are afraid that the Shanhai Civilization will take away the secrets you inherited. You are afraid that you will no longer be a superior race that can bring death and fear."

"Because you know better than anyone..."

"In today's Shanhai Realm, you are just one of the many races."

Looking at the wild boy who was trembling, not sure whether from anger or fear, Shuhai continued to laugh.

"I don't really care about this. After all, you are so insignificant."

"The secret method that you are so proud of is only of some research value in the eyes of the Shanhai Civilization."

"You think you can bring disease and death, but you don't know that the power of civilization has already minimized the spread of the plague."

"In front of the Shanhai Civilization, you have no advantage and no value in negotiation."

Hearing Shuhai's undisguised contempt, the wild boy with a young mind immediately retorted.

"If that's the case, then why are you so determined to make us assimilate into you?"

"If you really think we are worthless, why don't you just leave us as we are?"

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Shuhai unexpectedly did not answer Yetong's question.

"Maintain the status quo?"

"From the moment your god chose to return, you no longer have the right to say such things."

Slowly standing up, Shuhai waved his hand and removed the table and chairs in front of him, then turned around and walked out of the temple.

"Maybe we were too polite before, so you had some illusions."

"In fact, I am not here to ask for your opinions, nor to discuss with you what to do next."

"I am only informing you that enabling every intelligent individual to read and become literate is the bottom line of Shanhai civilization."

"You have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree."
