Blowing for sixty years.
Blowing through two civilizations.
Blowing through destruction and rebirth.
Countless things are intertwined.
At this moment, time almost stands still.
Tong Yao saw that Tia’s cloudy eyes became hazy, then bright, and finally, a teardrop rolled down from her eye socket.
Tick tock!
The floor of the temple was wet, causing invisible ripples and slight tremors in the leaves of the trees.
"Come closer."
The nursery rhyme said.
But this time Tia didn't listen. It retreated repeatedly and hid directly behind her.
After saying a few words, it didn't work, so Tong Yao gave up insisting.
"Since this is your choice, let's stop here today."
She took Tia away from the Ancestral Orc tribe and let Tia wander freely in the mountains and fields as long as she didn't come into conflict with the Ancestral Orcs.
When she was about to leave, Tia seemed to notice something and quickly held her hand with her head.
Tong Yao smiled and said, "I will come back to see you in a while."
Tia then stepped back and watched Tong Yao turn into countless feathers of light and disappear.
……
In the present world, Tong Yao looked at the time.
This time she stayed in the game for a long time. When she arrived in the real world, it was still noon. When she came out, it was already evening.
The birth and rekindling of the First Fire Ring brought her some new gains. After the laboratory was built, she planned to use Xiaolu to conduct an experiment.
But that was a day or two later.
Seeing that there was still some time before dinner, after watering Xiaolu and asking Xiaolu to massage her shoulders, she continued to focus on the God Simulator.
Among the screen full of “(*^o^)人(^o^*)” emoticons, there are a few emoticons that stand out from the crowd.
Those emoticons came from Shelley, from Shelley's mother, from Hedi's wife, and from some members of the expeditionary force.
While everyone else was celebrating, they buried Hedi in a secluded corner.
Halfway through the funeral, Bai Mu's family also arrived.
Everyone worked together to cover it with soil.
Unlike the burial of the first king, this time they neither carved a heroic stele nor erected a stone statue, but only erected an unnamed stele in front of the tomb.
Here lies Hedi, the eldest son of the First King, the Unspeakable King.
Its sins, its sacrifices, everything about it, will be left to future generations to judge.
【May the first fire shine on you and me forever. 】
【May the gaze of the gods never leave. 】
【May this world always be better. 】
As for wishes, always think on the bright side.
After successfully resisting the monsters, the original orcs rebuilt the Great Wall in the North.
In order to cope with the lack of a king and to avoid the emergence of another king like Hedi, after the public election, some respected orc ancestors formed a temporary management team to provide advice for the development of the tribe.
Although it is unclear how this multi-party consultation pattern will evolve in the future, it has at least brought prosperity to the tribe in the short term.
Everything looks beautiful.
After exhausting all his courage, Shelley no longer had to do anything dangerous. He just had to stay in the temple and worship the gods with all his heart.
This calm lasted for a whole year and ended when the second major earthquake arrived.
Both the Ancestral Orcs in the game and the nursery rhymes outside the game realized that this was not just an earthquake.
After using divine power to investigate, Tong Yao figured it out.
Behind the two consecutive earthquakes lies a super "disaster" that can be measured on a planetary scale:
Continental drift!
Billions of years ago, there was only one huge supercontinent on this planet, called Pangaea or Tongyao Continent. With the movement of the earth's crust, the supercontinent began to split, and today it has been divided into four parts.
However, this is not the end.
The movement of continental plates will never end. When it is in a certain special period and special position, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions will continue to emerge like mushrooms after rain.
Yes, volcanoes.
The original orc tribe, whose intelligence was born accidentally, would never have imagined that their suffering would never end.
When the earth begins to fission, when the distant mountains spew out lava and fill the sky with black ash, the paradise of the Ancestral Orcs will no longer be a paradise!
44 Faith Begins to Shake
Even though the image before her eyes was just a patchwork of rough pixels, Tong Yao still felt the shock of the earth's fission.
In the evening, the red crater suddenly erupted, and countless lava and black volcanic ash shot up into the sky.
Whether it was the sky above the world still covered with ice and snow, or the sky above the Ancestral Orc Tribe that had returned to spring under the influence of the Ring of First Fire, both were gradually engulfed by smoke and dust.
At first, when the Ancestral Orcs who were resting in various places, such as on the ridges of fields and on the riverbanks, saw the volcanic eruption, they thought the scene was very beautiful.
Countless fiery red stars and lines of fire rolling down the mountain from the crater are a picturesque sight. From certain angles, they are even more eye-catching than the brilliant starry sky.
However, when the smoke drifted over the tribe, all the beauty turned into horror.
In 1815, the Tambora volcano in Indonesia erupted, spewing out 1400 billion tons of magma.
This volcanic eruption, the largest in recorded history, directly caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people. Its recoil was even more astonishing, with large amounts of volcanic ash being thrown into the atmosphere, covering the sky and the sun.
The following year, 1816, global temperatures dropped and much of the Northern Hemisphere entered a year without summer.
Although the scale of this volcanic eruption near the Ancestral Orcs' tribe was not as large as that of Mount Tambora, the impact it brought was not something the Ancestral Orcs could resist.
The most direct threat is not the drop in temperature, but the various diseases caused by inhaling volcanic ash, the impact of falling volcanic ash, and the acid rain produced by sulfur dioxide rising into the atmosphere.
In just a few days, there was no more smiley face emoticons in the Ancestral Orc Tribe.
Everyone was either [cough cough cough] or had a [(╯﹏╰)b] face. The situation was a hundred times worse than when the first king died.
【It's over. It's all over.】
[All the crops we planted this year have died, and most of the animals in the pens have run away. If this continues, we will soon be short of food.]
【Food, food, we can't live without you! 】
Several original orcs looked at the devastated fields and farms and fainted from crying on the spot.
Faced with this situation, neither Shelley nor the managers who were temporarily selected were able to do anything.
This is simply not a disaster that can be countered by human power.
Because there are so many people falling ill, they can't even visit every person who is suffering from illness.
At this time, the only thing they can do is control their food consumption and pray devoutly to the gods every day.
The gods responded.
The wind from afar blew away the volcanic ash that was hanging over the tribe.
Several terminally ill orcs survived after struggling.
However, all of these are only temporary solutions and do not address the root cause.
[Energy: 952/2396 (Energy limit increases by 1 for each additional anchor point, current energy recovery speed is 3/day)]
Tong Yao looked at the energy displayed in the upper left corner of the phone screen.
The limitations of the anchor point prevented her, a god from another world, from exerting her full divine power.
Although the energy is enough for her to protect the Ancestral Orc Tribe for many years, what happens after the energy is exhausted?
Even if the technology of the Ancestral Orc Tribe had a great leap forward during this period of time and developed directly to a level similar to that of the current Earth, it would be of no avail.
In this era of extremely active crustal movement, like the previous earthquake, this volcanic eruption is just the beginning.
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods...the invasion of multiple disasters is enough to destroy everything the original orcs have.
This is not just a tribulation for one civilization, but a tribulation for all life on the planet.
Ultimately, intelligent life should not be born in this era, and the world is not yet ready to welcome the arrival of intelligence.
If the birth of the Zerg people came from the grace of God, then the birth of the Ancestral Orcs was a beautiful encounter.
Now, this encounter seems to be ending in separation.
"There's only one way to go."
Tong Yao pressed her finger on the screen, sliding out along the Ancestral Orc Tribe, through the mountain pass blocked by the Great Wall in the North, through the ice and snow outside, through the boundless continent, to the relatively warm south.
Only here is there hope for development.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door and the maid came in from outside.
"My lady, it's time for dinner."
"Thank you." After thanking her, Tong Yao suddenly asked, "Sister Shiya, if one day I want to leave the place where we have lived for many years, will you go with me?"
"Of course I will."
Zhou Shiya blurted out.
But she soon realized something was wrong.
leave?
What kind of leaving did the eldest lady mean? Could it be that she was inviting her to commit suicide together?
Miss, don't be silly!
Although committing suicide for love sounds both tragic and beautiful, there are more possibilities if we stay together alive.
Zhou Shiya began to suspect that the eldest lady was lacking companionship.
Do you want to find more people to play with the young lady?
It seems that it is impossible. The eldest lady said that she would have problems if she stared at other places except the pixel game on her mobile phone.
If you really want to play, you can only play the kind of game with the young lady that you can play with your eyes closed, and where she can feel happy without putting in any effort.
But, is there such a game?
Zhou Shiya fell into deep thought.
Tong Yao saw through her thoughts at a glance: "What are you thinking? I just want to live in a different place when technology develops and I can stand on my feet again."
"Yes, is that so?"
Zhou Shiya was not sure, but what she was sure of was that she still had to think of a game that could make the young lady happy, otherwise she was really afraid that the young lady would be suffocated.
Tong Yao shook her head.
She felt that it was a bit redundant for her to ask the maid sister this question, as the situation of the original orcs was completely different from theirs.
She can leave at any time, but everything the original orcs ever created is in the tribe, and the road to the south is not necessarily the way to survive. What if they finally get there, only to find that it has become an area prone to volcanoes and earthquakes, then wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"So, what are you going to do?"
All the original orcs were thinking about this question.
They barely made it through the first year.
The following year, earthquakes occurred frequently, the harm of food shortage became apparent, and the tribe's population began to decline.
In the third year, the volcano erupted again. In order to survive, parents sacrificed themselves and drowned their babies. No original orc dared to have children anymore.
No one can see the future. In this case, how can one dare to bring a child into the world?
