Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 63 Five-Colored Feathers and Colorful Scales

"No no no!"

Feng Xiuhu broke free and glared at Shi: "What are you doing?"

Only after confirming that Feng Xiuhu hadn't said anything further did Shi breathe a sigh of relief. He solemnly warned Feng Xiuhu, "In the spirit world, there are certain words you shouldn't say carelessly—for example, the word you just used refers to a deity. If you pronounce its name in full, someone might hear it."

Feng Xiuhu realized that he had almost gotten into trouble, and looked around carefully: "You should have told me this earlier."

The dream forest was still quiet and nothing happened.

The owl appeared from nowhere, landed on Feng Xiuhu's head, and looked at him with its head tilted.

"I will be killed by you sooner or later."

she says.

Eclipse was no longer panicking. He waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious yet. We are making a fuss. He doesn't even know the true name of the god—where was I just now?"

"The power of the mist."

Feng Xiuhu replied.

Eclipse nodded: "Yes, I also have the authority of the Mist."

The owl raised its head and looked at Eclipse silently, its eyes full of meaning.

Feng Xiuhu was stunned: "Are you the God of Mist?!"

Eclipse glanced at the owl, and after their eyes met for a second, Eclipse silently looked away.

He said to Feng Xiuhu, "I am not, but I do hold some authority over the mist."

Feng Xiuhu was puzzled: "Didn't you say that you only mastered erosion?"

Without waiting for Eclipse to answer, Owl said jokingly, "I see. So the reason they want to kill you is because your thieving behavior has been discovered?"

Eclipse ignored Owl's teasing and continued to tell Feng Xiuhu, "The Mist God's authority over the Mist is incomplete. Or rather, the authority of most Western gods is incomplete."

Feng Xiuhu didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

This story has to start from the beginning.

He sorted out his thoughts and began to explain.

"There is a significant difference between Eastern and Western gods in their pursuit of authority."

"Eastern gods pursue completeness, while Western gods pursue diversity."

"Take the God of Mist and the Goddess of Wind and Rain, for example."

"The God of Mist possesses the authority over fog, direction, and good luck, but each is incomplete. The Lady of Wind and Rain, on the other hand, possesses the complete authority over wind and rain."

Feng Xiuhu still didn't understand: "Why is this happening?"

Owl sneered, "Because they want different things."

Eclipse nodded in affirmation: "What the Western gods want is rule, and what the Eastern gods want is immortality."

Feng Xiuhu was stunned: "Even after becoming a god, I still can't achieve immortality?"

The owl sneered again: "It's just a beautiful dream..."

Feng Xiuhu couldn't stand it anymore. He threw the owl over his head and said, "Who the hell are you? Why do you always interrupt our conversation?"

Owl looked at Feng Xiuhu in disbelief, then looked at Eclipse: "Is he always like this?"

Eclipse nodded at her: "You'll get used to it."

Then, Eclipse introduced Feng Xiuhu: "She is Yin Xiao."

Feng Xiuhu frowned and stared at Yin Xiao for a while: "Are you suffering from insomnia?"

Eclipse had no choice but to explain, "This is just an incarnation. She's still asleep, but that doesn't stop her from sending out a spirit to monitor us."

Surveillance?

That's not a good word.

Feng Xiuhu raised his eyebrows and pretended to take something out of his crotch again. Shi quickly stopped him: "Not really..."

After much persuasion, Feng Xiuhu finally put his hand down.

Eclipse brought the topic back to the topic: "In this world, the only ones who truly possess infinite lifespans are us, the Primordial Gods, because the rules exist forever, and we are a part of them. However, immortality has always been the longing of the Eastern Gods, so they ultimately came up with the solution of replacing the Primordial Gods."

Yin Xiao added, "They completely refer to the authority of the original god, neither taking more nor less, and completely appropriating the original god's authority for themselves, replacing the original god's existence in the world—deceiving the rules, and also deceiving themselves."

Eclipse continued, "For example, Lady Wind and Rain. She replaced Five-Colored Feather. Five-Colored Feather controlled the rules of wind and rain. Now, all power lies in the hands of Lady Wind and Rain."

"Who is Wu Se Yu?"

Feng Xiuhu scratched the back of his head, thinking that the knowledge he had absorbed today was almost beyond the limit.

Eclipse and Yin Xiao were silent for a moment.

After a while, Eclipse said, "A primitive deity. She is a flying bird with gorgeous feathers of five colors. She lives in what is now the City of Sail."

"Sail City?" Yin Xiao asked. She hadn't been to the real world for a long time.

Eclipse continued, "Back then, there was no Sailing City. The place was called Sky Cliff. People who believed in the Five-Colored Feather built a temple for her at the foot of the cliff and have worshipped her for generations."

Feng Xiuhu grinned and jokingly said, "The end of the world? What about the corner of the sea?"

Yin Xiao glanced over and said: "Seaside? That's the territory of Qicai Lin."

Feng Xiuhu was stunned. "Really? Who is Qicailin?"

Eclipse raised his head and said, "A big fish. You've heard of him a long time ago."

"Outside of Sails City, the 'evil god' in the sea."

Feng Xiuhu slapped his thigh in shock: "Lady Wind and Rain, please retreat the waves!"

Eclipse said calmly, "And Lady Fengyu killed the sparrow monster—now you should know who this sparrow monster is."

Feng Xiuhu stamped his feet in excitement, as if he had just heard some shocking insider information. "So the guy in the sea is still alive?"

Eclipse nodded and said, "Not only is he alive, but he's also looking forward to avenging Wu Se Yu every moment."

Speaking of this, Yin Xiao's tone couldn't help but sound a little lonely.

"Five-colored feathers and seven-colored scales..."

Eclipse took over the conversation: "From a human perspective, they should be considered a couple."

Feng Xiuhu was shocked again: "Don't you consider reproductive isolation at all?"

No one understood his nonsense.

Eclipse sighed, "They have a good relationship, but Seven-Colored Scale can't fly to the sky, and Five-Colored Feather can't go into the sea. So whenever they want to meet, Five-Colored Feather summons wind and rain, and Seven-Colored Scale stirs up the waves. Beneath the wind and rain, above the waves, they are able to dance together."

Feng Xiuhu had heard too much today, and his brain capacity was beginning to limit itself. His thoughts gradually wandered, and he suddenly asked, "Have they got the certificate yet?"

This kind of treatment also makes me drool.

Eclipse glanced away, selectively ignoring Feng Xiuhu's words: "Qi Cai Lin wants revenge, and Lady Fengyu also wants to kill Qi Cai Lin. In fact, they have fought many times."

Feng Xiuhu asked curiously, "Who won then?"

Eclipse shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. On the shore, Qicai Lin is no match for Fengyu Niangniang, but when Qicai Lin dives into the sea, Fengyu Niangniang doesn't dare to chase him. That's why they're helpless against him, and that's why the stalemate has lasted for so many years."

Feng Xiuhu thought so too. If someone didn't have some skills, these colorful scales would have been caught by various gods and made into sashimi if they were lurking in the sea.

He thought of another thing - all the major primitive gods were believed in at first, but the seven-colored scale was in the sea. Did anyone believe in him?

Suddenly, Feng Xiuhu had an idea.

"The relationship between mermaids and seven-colored scales..."

Eclipse nodded and looked at Yin Xiao: "Just like her and the Linyin Clan."

PS: There are no gods! They're just people who eat their fill! Feng Xiuhu has revealed a corner of the world, and it's shocking - quickly give him a monthly ticket to calm his nerves.
