Ruins Tribe (Bonus Chapter for [Comprehension])

"A new god? Aren't there plenty of new gods these days?" Da Liu Xuan was unconvinced, but noticing Ye Lu's expression, he suddenly paused, "Could it be that you mean, like that one from decades ago, Self-Evolved Domain?"

Ye Lu nodded and said, "That's right. That Ghost Mother is extremely cunning and escaped capture, which is a great pity. But now we've encountered another new god who Self-Evolved Domain. If we capture him and have the Circuit City God present him to the Heavenly Court, we might be able to get a share of the Divine Office..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuan was overjoyed and said, "Such a momentous matter must be reported to Circuit City God immediately!"

Ye Lu remained calm and waved his hand, saying, "No rush. Those who can Self-Evolved Domain are mostly Heaven-Born Deity. This time, with the opening of the Land of the Divine Remains, Yin Xiao'e deliberately created a false impression, using Empty City Stratagem to try and deceive everyone. Have you thought about the reasons behind this?"

"You mean...?" Liu Xuan suddenly had Spiritual Light and figured out the key point.

Ye Lu smiled and nodded, "That's right! This new god may have also entered the ruins. If we send a message rashly but can't find the main body, wouldn't our merit be diminished? It's better to go to the ruins first. Even if we can't find the new god, as long as we can capture Yin Xiao'e, we can still get clues."

"Indeed, since this new god is enjoying offerings in Yuanning City, how can Yin Xiao'e escape responsibility?"

"Alright, let's leave as soon as possible. After all, this is Yin Xiao'e's Domain of Law. Even if she only left behind a set of Celestial Soldiers armor, she might still have other tricks up her sleeve."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two gods didn't delay any longer and transformed into light, flying south.

Meanwhile, in the Land of the Divine Remains, there is a continuous forest.

In this realm, the true form of the deity, who was on the minds of two gods, and Yin Xiao'e were present.

The two deities, now possessing flesh and blood, each sat on a stone chair. The chairs were crudely made, with colorful paintings on the back, and were quite simple in appearance.

These two stone chairs are built on top of a stone pillar, which forms a platform. The entire pillar is thirty feet high and made of hard stone. At the bottom, there are simple drawings of people and animals.

"Since entering this Land of the Divine Remains, I have been unable to sense any information from the outside world. Not only can the People's Wishes not be transmitted, but the connection with the Netherworld has also been severed," said Yin Xiao'e, who was sensing with her eyes closed. "This means that even if we exhaust all the divine power within our Divine Body, we will not receive any replenishment."

She opened her eyes, looked at her hands which had turned into flesh and blood, and shook her head. "However, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. The Spiritual Qi in this world is so thin that it is almost imperceptible, and the repulsive force is slight. At least I don't have to worry about being forced to return to the Netherworld if I stay here for too long."

Upon hearing this, the deity beside him asked, "Is your connection with the outside world blocked by some force? Unable to absorb incense offerings, sense changes, or receive messages from the outside world?"

"Good."

Upon receiving the reply, the deity hesitated for a moment before saying, "My situation is similar to yours. My Divine Body is unable to absorb external offerings, nor can it perceive changes in the Domain of Law, but..."

He paused here, then continued, "But besides that, there are other ways to indirectly sense the Domain of Law and absorb incense offerings."

"Hmm?" Yin Xiao'e narrowed her eyes upon hearing this. "You mean, to perceive the outside world through that avatar of Karma, Fortune and fortune?"

Previously, Yin Xiao'e fell from the sky, her Divine Body solidified and transformed into a physical body. Then she saw the true face of the deity and spoke to test him, finally proving her long-held suspicions.

Upon hearing this, she pondered for a moment and then sent a telepathic message: "You can sense the external Domain of Law and absorb incense offerings through the connection between your main body and your clone? This is no small matter. If you have the opportunity to spread this knowledge to other Continent in the future, it will be a great advantage. However, it cannot be spread outside before it truly becomes a significant force, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

"How do we determine when something has reached a certain level of prominence?" Qiu Yan asked in a telepathic message.

"That's hard to say. After we leave the ruins, you should start establishing Divine Office, one step at a time. However, it's best if your clone doesn't show any connection with the main body. Firstly, Confucianism doesn't encourage scholars to serve gods, and secondly, it's easy for those with ulterior motives to notice. But there are ways to do it cleverly..."

Before Yin Xiao'e could finish speaking, a strange shout interrupted her, rising and falling like a song.

Beneath the stone pillar, a group of men and women, draped in animal skins and with disheveled hair, held hands, circling and jumping around the stone platform, shouting and yelling.

Not long after, several men dressed in animal skins helped an elderly man with snow-white hair out.

The old man was emaciated and walked with a trembling gait. His face was painted with oil paint, his upper body was bare, and he leaned on a white bone cane. With each step he took, he uttered a syllable. When he reached the stone pillar, the men and women around him quickly stepped back to make room for him.

The old man took two steps forward, raised his cane, held it high above his head with both hands, then knelt on the ground, put the cane down, prostrated himself, and uttered a high-pitched, chanting sound.

"Mi Ma Ga La Duo..."

Through mental analysis, Qiu Yan and Yin Xiao'e immediately understood the meaning of the words upon hearing the high note, knowing that it was a long sentence praising the Heavenly Gods.

As the chant reached its end, the old man's words took on a new meaning. He began to pray to the two Heavenly Gods who descended from the heavens to bless the tribe, protect its people, conquer other tribes, defeat other Heavenly Gods, and bestow "reason" upon them.

Upon hearing this, Yin Xiao'e frowned and transmitted her thoughts, saying, "This is a typical prayer ritual, but there is no Incense Faith rising from the supplicant's body."

Qiu Yan's attention, however, was focused elsewhere.

"Other Heavenly Gods?" His mind raced. "This Land of the Divine Remains doesn't seem peaceful. I wonder if there are any Ancient God's Remains here. If there are, have they already been taken by other 'Heavenly Gods'?"

Yin Xiao'e and Qiu Yan have now confirmed that this world is not an illusion.

On the other hand, Qiu Yan also became somewhat interested in what the old man had said.

"In his praise of the Heavenly Gods, he mentioned that there were originally ten suns in the sky. Long ago, a Heavenly Gods, relying on 'reason,' unified many tribes, built the Heaven-reaching Tower, and plucked one sun from the sky. In the process, this Heavenly Gods taught many primitive tribes how to use fire and passed down many 'reasons,' thus establishing blood ties among the chaotic groups..."

As he thought about it, his thoughts gradually became clearer.

After arriving at the tribe deep in the forest, he observed it and realized that the tribe was in a primitive stage of settlement. The entire tribe relied on fishing and hunting for a living, and individual strength dominated the society. It had already transitioned to a patriarchal society, and the tribe seemed to have the concept of pairing, rather than chaotic polygamy.

"The transition from matrilineal to patrilineal societies on Earth took a long time. But according to the Prayer to the Gods just now, the tribes here, guided by the 'principle' passed down by that Heavenly Gods, quickly transformed into patrilineal societies. Whether it's monogamous marriage or the union of clans and lineages, everything is done according to 'principle'—principle, totems, the Heaven-reaching Tower..."

Thinking this through, Qiu Yan sorted out his thoughts, came up with an idea, and then sent out a thought, which was then poured into the heart of the old man below!

The old man trembled, raised his head, his eyes initially filled with confusion, then his face lit up with joy. He prostrated himself on the ground again, uttering words of gratitude. Upon seeing this, the people around him also knelt down in varying degrees to pay their respects.
