When worshiping the gods in the temple, the priest discovered that the symbols engraved on the stone slabs were arranged in a certain pattern, and he realized that these symbols might be used to record something.

Although it didn't understand what was being recorded, this gave it inspiration. Usually it could only rely on its brain to remember things, and it would easily forget when there were too many things to remember. With these special symbols to remind itself, wouldn't it not forget things easily?

Thanks to the efforts of the priest and his assistants, the most primitive writing of the Ancestral Orc Tribe appeared.

The vocabulary of this script is far less than that of the Shenmin Chongwen, and it was originally used only to record content related to sacrifices.

But there was one thing that was completely unexpected for Tong Yao.

In the insect writing of the gods and people, ○ represents God. In the writing of the first beastmen, ○ also represents God. The difference is that the sun in the insect writing of the gods and people represents the first king in the writing of the first beastmen, the first king who melted the ice and snow with the Ring of the First Fire.

From this moment on, the first king Anser became closer to the god of spring and fire.

"Because of the conversation between Shelley and Anser, do all the original beastmen now think that I am a spherical creator god?"

Nursery rhymes are inexplicably interesting.

Is this the continuation of civilization?

She doesn't mind being called round. What's wrong with being round?

The third stage of the Ancestral Orc civilization was what she saw a year after she disappeared.

“Even the code has come out?”

Tong Yao arrived at the door of the temple, staring at the large stone slab stuck in the ground.

This is known as the Hurdi Code.

During this year or so, Eve passed on the planting, breeding and pottery-making techniques to the Ancestral Orc Tribe one by one. Driven by the new technologies, new changes have taken place in the social form of the Ancestral Orc Tribe.

First of all, they have a clear division of labor. It is no longer like before, where everyone except the one taking care of the children has to go out hunting regularly.

Now, some people are responsible for hunting, some are responsible for farming, some are responsible for breeding, and some are responsible for making various tools, each showing their strengths.

Secondly, class differentiation emerged among them, which was attributed to Khedive's rule.

After Hedi became the new queen, although she did not execute the family of the criminals who assassinated the first king, she deprived them of their right to residency in disguise, turning them into pariahs who had to atone for their sins through labor.

Then, through one reform after another, it completely separated the position of "king" from the masses.

The king is no longer a king who leads the people forward, but a king who rules the people!

From the king down, the closer one is to the king, the higher one’s status is, and the farther one is from the king, the lower one’s status is!

You should know that when the first king was in power, in addition to handling various affairs, he would also go out hunting, make tools, and lead the people to resist the beast tide.

Hedi carved these rules on a stone slab and placed it in front of the temple to demonstrate his status.

From this we can see that the Code of Hades is different from the famous Code of Hammurabi on Earth.

The Code of Hammurabi contains more than 3000 lines and 282 laws, covering criminal, civil and other aspects.

The Khedive Code contained only more than 20 rules, mainly concerning the inviolability of the king and the punishment for fighting among civilians.

Made a mistake?

Send to the river to dig clay!

The only thing the Code of Khedim has in common with the Code of Hammurabi is that they both devote considerable space to praising the king.

The gods chose the First King, and the First King's light shines on the earth. King Hedi, as the eldest son of the First King, is the well-deserved new king!

"Is the king's power divinely granted?"

Tong Yao's fingers stroked the code.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the temple.

She turned her head and saw Shelley running out hurriedly with a wreath on her head.

Shelley felt it.

Just now, it was studying the sacred text in the temple, and suddenly it felt an unforgettable warmth.

That is the warmth of God!

During this year, it often prayed before the statue, hoping to see God again one day, but God did not give any response.

It was as if, as it had said in front of the statue that day, the God was truly disappointed with its retreat in front of the Ring of First Fire.

It felt lost, but helpless. It could only continue to practice its vows and be a holy virgin who gave everything to God, hoping to impress God one day.

That is why, after feeling the warmth of God, it rushed out without any hesitation.

It thought it could see God after a long absence, but when it stood next to the code, it saw nothing.

"God, are you here?"

Shelley looked around, his eyes showing both nervousness and excitement.

This time, Tong Yao did not give any response.

On the day Hedi ascended the throne, Shelley analyzed himself in the temple and said that his cowardice had disappointed God. These words were not entirely wrong.

Nursery rhyme is indeed disappointing.

Especially at the moment when Shelley rejected the Ring of First Fire.

But she would not look at Shelley differently because of her disappointment, just as she did not scold Li when she was bullied by her "daughters".

She chose to hide herself only because she found that God's love was not always a good thing, but could become a heavy burden.

Li was close to her, and after his death he turned into the mother tree of life and wisdom, guarding this world forever, and no one knew when it would end.

Tia was close to her, and even though she was deprived of wisdom, she still thought of her forgotten homeland all the time, as if she was possessed by a demon.

She felt more and more that she, as a god, was so dazzling that she could melt the believers who got too close to her!

“God’s love is perhaps the most difficult gift to grasp.”

Letting Shelley return to "ordinariness" is a good way out.

It would be enough to let the messenger Eve continue to contact the Ancestral Orc Tribe on her behalf.

The nursery rhyme passed by Shelley and came to the mother tree.

Shelley, who had not received a response for a long time, felt her heart trembling, clenching her fists and then unclenching them.

Has it really been abandoned by God?

After an unknown amount of time, a voice rang in Shelley's ears.

"Shelley, why are you here?"

The old priest came back from outside.

Shelley wiped his eyes hastily: "Come out for some fresh air, Master Priest, how was your talk with the king?"

The priest replied, "I asked the king not to make any laws here, but to learn from the first king and treat the people with equality and tolerance, but the king rejected all of them."

It shook its head and sighed, then walked towards the temple alone.

"I am old, and I can no longer see the future of the tribe."

Shelley opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say. Standing on the hillside, she overlooked the tribe that was many times larger than when she was a child.

What are the people under the sky thinking at this moment?

35 Fireside Chat between God and Mother Tree

Tong Yao sat under the mother tree, her hands hanging on the armrests of the wheelchair. Her slender white skirt did not cover her knees, revealing her delicate and white feet like snow lotus. She looked relaxed.

But she only looks so relaxed when she is next to her maid sister and the mother tree of Li's incarnation.

"This land will soon be in turmoil again."

Tong Yao's lips moved slightly, revealing a voice that people missed so much.

Outside the temple, the wind was howling.

In the temple, the fire flickered.

Tong Yao and Li, who were sitting opposite each other, seemed to have transcended time at this moment. They were both in the night fire of the God's People and the Zerg sixty years ago, and in the Ancestral Orc Tribe, which was illuminated by the bonfire and seemed peaceful on the surface.

This was a unique fireside chat.

Tong Yao is the storyteller, and Li is the loyal listener.

"Listen to their voices."

The divine power swept across the earth like an invisible undercurrent. In an instant, countless voices floated over from all directions.

On the river bank, a digger who fell to the ground exhausted was cursing in his heart.

[This is too much. I just called out Hedi's name, and I was forced to be thrown here to dig mud. In the past, I could just call out the first king's name and nothing happened. (〝▼皿▼)]

In the stone workshop, an Ancestral Orc was licking the wound on the back of his hand with an unhappy look on his face.

[They actually set a certain number of stone axes to be made every day. If you don't finish them, your food will be deducted and you may even be beaten. They are simply beasts. If I knew there would be such a thing, I might as well join the hunting team. T^T]

In front of the king's residence, a guard standing upright with a bone spear in hand had a fluctuating look in his eyes.

[There are rules here, and there are rules there. Why doesn't it set rules to frame itself? How could the First King have such a son? ]

There are more voices coming one after another.

[The statue of the First King was made over and over again, but it was never satisfied. What on earth was going on? ]

[If the First King was still alive and knew that he was doing this, he would definitely drive him out! ]

[Who on earth proposed to let it take over the position of king? It would be better to let Shelley take over. At least Shelley looks cute! ]

[Why should my neighbor become the king's guard just because he is taller than me? He must be a head taller than me, even though I am much better at farming than him.]

The various voices of people gather together like a turbid whirlpool, deep and elusive.

The nursery rhyme said faintly: "Dissatisfaction accumulates little by little, and one day it will reach a critical point. By then, there will be no other way to go except to explode."

Sixty years ago, the riot among the God's people and the Zerg was caused by this.

Li seemed to have thought of this as well. As the sound of the nursery rhyme fell, the branches and leaves of the entire mother tree swayed slightly, making a rustling sound.

Tong Yao smiled and stroked the branches of the tree. "Both are dissatisfied. Tia's dissatisfaction stems from the difference in philosophy with you, so you did nothing wrong. The dissatisfaction of the original beastman stems from the fact that Hedi is not a qualified king."

The Ancestral Orc civilization was only a civilization that had just entered the Neolithic Age not long ago, but Hedi behaved like a monarch in the slave era.

This is not advancement, but a blasphemy to the original orc civilization.

In the era of the First King, and even before the era of the First King, the Ancestral Orcs were equal.

Although their lives are hard, they are free to express their joy through dance.

In Hedi's era, the original orcs no longer had to worry about food, but Hedi's actions overturned everything they were used to.

They were forcibly divided into class differences and had to abide by rules that went against their cognition.

Who could have imagined that a king who came from the people would one day be above the people?

When they feel at a loss because of this subversion, there will be no one to guide them like the First King, and only ruthless punishment awaits them. Many Ancestral Orcs have even forgotten when was the last time they danced.

This is an era that seems peaceful because of excessive repression!

However, Hedi, as the king, did not find the problem.

It has a body far stronger than that of an ordinary orc ancestor, but its wisdom is forever trapped in the day when it was driven out of its home by the first king.

The nursery rhyme is very clear.

In the king's residence, Hedi knelt before the statue of the first king.

"More people, more food, more exquisite cave dwellings, and a wider territory. See, father? This is my achievement. Even the gods have recognized me and sent messengers to bestow new technologies upon me!"

"Father, you said I was too impulsive and reckless to be king, but the facts prove that I am the most suitable person to succeed you. Shelley, that coward, is not suitable, and no one else is suitable either!"

"Father, you led the tribe through the greatest crisis and made it possible for the tribe to survive in this world. On this basis, I will lead the tribe to become the true ruler of the earth!"

Hedi's face glowed with pride.

It stood up contentedly, and as it stood up, its brows suddenly frowned.

“This statue…”

It reached out and touched it, and as it expected, there was something wrong with the statue's nose. Seen from the side, it was much higher than its father's nose.

"Redo it, must redo it again!"
