Divine or Demonic

The worship of stars is found in almost every culture, and extraterrestrials are no exception. As intelligent beings, they understand the greatness of the stars in the sky.

Of course, A Ya's original words were not "God of Light," but rather a word like "light" or "glory."

"Perhaps it is God." A Tu hesitated for a moment, then said, "A Ya, I'll go see the Great Elder first, and I'll talk to you when I come out."

A Tu's tribe worships the God of Light, but A Tu doesn't believe in the existence of such God of Light. However, after witnessing several unusual celestial phenomena, he has come to believe in it.

As soon as A Tu stepped into the Great Elder's residence, he heard an old voice say, "A Tu, you've come. Come in and sit down."

"Yes, Great Elder." A Tu replied without ceremony.

A Tu was very familiar with this Great Elder; he was a highly respected figure, though somewhat stubborn.

"Great Elder, did you call me here because of the Great Fireball that appeared in the sky?" A Tu sat down in front of the Great Elder and asked directly.

However, the Great Elder was very angry at his words and scolded him, "What Great Fireball? That's the God of Light. A Tu, you need to watch your words in the future. You are the person I have the most faith in. When I go to see the God of Light, the Great Elder priest of our tribe will definitely be you."

"I... I understand, Great Elder." A Tu hesitated, but perhaps out of respect, he ultimately did not refute the Great Elder.

The Great Elder nodded in satisfaction. He was very pleased with A Tu's performance and said, "Alright, you are the smartest child I have ever seen. The end of the year is approaching, and the reason I called you here is to entrust you with this year's sacrifice to the God of Light. I think my body won't last many more years. Once you are familiar with the sacrificial process, I will talk to the clan leader next year and give you the position of Sacrificial Elder."

Upon hearing this, A Tu remained silent for a long time. He knew that the Great Elder who had always cared for him was in poor health, but he was unaware of and had never considered the matter of succeeding as the Sacrificial Elder.

Unexpectedly, he heard the Great Elder say this, and moved, he said, "No, Great Elder, you will definitely get better. Didn't you say that the God of Light has descended? I will go to the God of Light to pray for you. I believe that the great God of Light will definitely heal you."

Actually, when Atu first saw twelve fireballs appear in the sky, A Tu had the idea of going to investigate. Now he is just saying this as an excuse. Even without the excuse of the Great Elder, he would have found other ways to leave the tribe and go to find those falling fireballs.

However, the Great Elder shook his head at his words, his face serious, and said, "No, the Great Wilderness is full of ferocious beasts and the environment is harsh. No one has ever come out alive."

"Great Elder, please rest assured. I am the best hunter in our tribe. I know the habits of all the ferocious beasts from the forest to the grassland and even the wilderness. As long as we are well prepared, there will be no danger."

A Tu's answer was firm. He continued, "Moreover, Great Elder, you once said that we are all children of the God of Light. If we want to achieve something, we must go out and see the world. Only then can we understand how vast the world is. Although I, A Tu, am not a great hero, I do not want to stay under the protection of the tribe for the rest of my life."

After an unknown amount of time, A Tu finally emerged from the Great Elder's residence. He glanced back at the dilapidated thatched hut, his gaze hardening.

A Tu couldn't persuade the Great Elder, but no matter what, he was determined to see what was falling from the sky. He was so curious that he was willing to die for it.

A Tu, driven by curiosity, prepares to embark on a journey to find the truth, a related conversation takes place on the other side of the continent.

However, the content is quite different, and the dialogue takes place not in a simple tribe, but in a city built of earth and stone, or more precisely, in the palace of the city.

These Dog-Headed People seem to be having a meeting like in ancient times.

"Your Great King, your humble servant has something to report. Yesterday, a great fire appeared in the northwest of the heavens, and last night, when we observed the celestial phenomena, we saw a demonic star shining brightly in the northwest, with dark energy concealing the royal star. This is a sign that a celestial demon has descended upon the world, a warning from Heaven, an ominous sign!"

"Oh? Then in your opinion, what should I do?" asked the Dog-Headed People sitting at the head of the table, who was addressed as the Great King.

The Dog-Headed People who had just called himself an old minister had clearly prepared his answer. He immediately replied, "Your Great King, the appearance of the demonic star in the northwest indicates that the Northwest Tree-Hole Kingdom has failed in its moral conduct. Therefore, Heaven is issuing this warning. Your Great King may choose a day to set up an altar in the ancestral temple to pray to Heaven and submit a petition detailing the faults of the King of the Northwest Tree-Hole Kingdom."

Then inform the other feudal lords, so that they may all hear of it. Afterwards, convene an alliance of feudal lords, raise an army, and jointly attack them. With a just cause, our army will surely advance swiftly and decisively, annihilating them in one battle.

"Very well, that is quite right. So be it. Order the Imperial Great Temple Official make preparations immediately. Three days later, I will set up an altar to offer sacrifices to Heaven!"

Clearly, the king of this city did not interpret the celestial phenomena as the descent of a heavenly god, but instead used it as an excuse to launch a campaign.

Not all Dog-Headed People on this planet belong to countries that are averse to superstition. After witnessing this unprecedented sight, many kings are preparing to offer sacrifices to their respective gods and beg for protection.

Of course, there are also tribes like A Tu's that regard the arrival of humans as the arrival of their gods, but not the God of Light, but other gods such as the God of Radiance, the Star God, the sky god, or the Sun God.

Of course, "Sun God" doesn't actually refer to the Sun God, but rather to the name of their Orange Dwarf Star.

There are also some outrageous beliefs that it is the Sky Father descending to earth to unite with the Mother Earth Star.

In recent days, small human-made flying probes have roughly determined the distribution of these Dog-Headed People. Due to the terrain, the Dog-Headed People in different regions have developed different cognitive habits, beliefs, and development statuses.

In some places, the Dog-Headed People have already learned to build cities and smelt iron, while in others they are still in the Stone Age.

The cause of this division is not the ocean, but the barrier of a massive mountain range, since this continent is a single, Pangu Continent.

As for the scattered islands overseas, there wasn't a Dog-Headed People.

This situation suggests that the Pangu Continent on this planet has existed for a very long time, perhaps even since the Dog-Headed People first developed intelligence.

However, human probes have discovered that this continent, and even the entire planet's tectonic plates, are not very stable, and volcanic activity is quite frequent. The islands in the ocean are the result of volcanic eruptions.

Since geologists have not yet landed to investigate, humanity does not currently know whether these phenomena are due to the continued compression of the Pangu Continent or its separation.

That said, while the human landing did have some impact on the Dog-Headed Alien, it wasn't a huge one. After all, the landing site was relatively close to the central part of the continent, which these Dog-Headed People considered a barbaric and deadly place. Moreover, only about one-fifth of the continental area could be seen with the naked eye as the human spacecraft entered the atmosphere.

Thus, a year passed in the blink of an eye. After a year of hard work, humanity finally erected a huge and fully functional base on the ground.
