Chapter 938: Are You Gods?

The Gale Rabbit looked at a baby that was emitting divine light, devouring food and growing rapidly, then turned its head with a resentful expression to look at Nai Ge Li Si.

Nai Ge Li Si chuckled awkwardly: "It's ready to be planted already; if this one won't work, there's always the next one. Your turn will come eventually."

"But you gave me hope first, then took it away. Cruel," the Gale Rabbit said.

"But Anthony has an important mission, so naturally he goes first. Who told you to only know how to eat? You're not that important," Nai Ge Li Si deflected, regretting having called that dead rabbit so early.

Anthony had projected his soul here and had been acting in a soul state the whole time; this actually consumes a lot of divine power, but the little ghost can afford it.

However, staying in this state makes many things inconvenient for Anthony; at the very least, he cannot appear personally on the main plane, where he would be surrounded and captured by Ogar's people, so he needs a body, and nothing is more suitable for containing a soul than a God's Body.

For a soul, the Pope is a compatible bottle, but the God's Body is the original bottle, the genuine one.

Anthony performed a familiar routine: he drank the essence liquid until he was stuffed, stir-fried World Tree sprouts with eggs paired with Life Fruits, and under the acceleration of the Quick Death Aura, he grew into an adult figure in just one short day, ready to go out and have fun.

……

At the edge of the Wilds plane, Emma cautiously poked her head out from her hiding place, greedily breathing in fresh air; the air in the cellar was too stale, giving her a feeling of suffocation, so despite the danger, she couldn't help but climb out.

Wilds Edge; just hearing the name makes it clear that this is a place very far from the Shenguangtong Alliance's main plane; even with an airship flying at full speed, it would take more than three months to fly there.

In fact, it is farther from the Shenguangtong Alliance's main plane than the Feilie Empire; originally, such a remote plane was visited only by some adventurers or cross-border merchants, while the natives were just barbarians and cave dwellers, making it very desolate.

But with the invasion of the Shenguangtong Alliance, the transport of supplies, and the movement of personnel, this edge plane slowly became lively.

Because many alliance soldiers were resting here, adventurers and merchants smelled business opportunities and quickly gathered here.

To reduce the consumption of transporting grain, some farmer slaves and their families were sent here to reclaim farmland and plant crops.

With more people, various trades slowly appeared; blacksmiths, vegetable growers, miners, and those who couldn't survive, just like the Anxi Abyss back then, gradually formed four settlements, each with four or five thousand people.

After more than ten years of development, life flourished and multiplied here, gradually producing a new generation.

Emma was the daughter of a farmer, seven years old this year; she also had an older sister, nine years old, named Liz.

The family made a living by growing vegetables; they weren't wealthy, but at least they had no worries about food, yet this worry-free life came to an abrupt end a while ago; when the Shenguangtong Alliance withdrew, this plane formed by war demands immediately faced a catastrophic disaster.

Adventurers and merchants evacuated immediately; slaves, farmers, and miners fought for the few available airship seats, evacuating a batch, while the rest fell into chaos, fighting over everything they could grab.

This place is more than three months' journey from the Shenguangtong Alliance's main plane; under organized conditions, ordinary people could come, but without organization, they couldn't leave; even if they took an airship, everyone would need to prepare food for more than three months, let alone the fact that there were no airships.

As for teleportation arrays, forget it; those adventurers and cross-border merchants had magic crystals and could teleport seven or eight times to leave, but vegetable-growing farmers couldn't even produce the magic crystals for one teleport.

This wasn't a matter of money; without magic crystals, even the teleportation arrays couldn't be activated, so the more than ten thousand people in the four settlements were stranded like this and fell into a state of disorder and chaos.

Emma's father was still quite smart; he said if they couldn't return to the Alliance, they might as well go to the Feilie Empire; he would try to find a way to take everyone to the Empire, so he left Emma and Liz behind, took his wife to the settlement, and never returned.

Not long after her parents left, several groups came to the farm where they lived, grabbing everything that could be stolen, even cutting away all the unripe vegetables in the fields.

Her sister took her and hid in the winter vegetable cellar, surviving on some beetroots in the cellar.

Over this more than month, groups of people passed by near the farm from time to time.

At first, those people were full of energy, but as time passed, their faces grew worse and worse, their figures became thinner and thinner, and their movements slower and slower; occasionally, when they looked around, one could see some people's eyes glowing green, which made one's heart panic just seeing them.

Her sister said: "That's when they're starving mad; be careful not to let them see you, or they'll grab you and eat you."

But starving mad things would soon descend upon them too; her parents never returned, the beetroots in the cellar were eaten up, and if they didn't find food, the two sisters would starve to death here.

So her sister Liz told her to stay, gathered her courage to go out and search for food herself, and had been gone for half a day.

Just as Emma was taking a deep breath, a voice suddenly rang out, shouting excitedly: "Here, here, there really is one; I caught a kid with tender skin on the road, I guessed there was more than one, and indeed there is; quick, catch her, the kid's flesh is tender."

Emma turned around in panic and saw two emaciated humans with green eyes in their sockets running towards her position, while behind them was another human dragging another little girl, who was her sister Liz.

But at this moment, Liz's life or death was unknown; her head hung limp, and fresh blood flowed down from her forehead.

Emma was stunned; she didn't hide back, but instinctively got up, stared straight at her sister, and ran towards her sister's direction with all her might.

When people are panicked, they often make irrational moves; besides, she was only seven years old, so it was no surprise she was caught, but even if she were rational, it wouldn't change anything; she would be caught anyway.

As soon as the three humans caught Emma, they impatiently said: "Start a fire, start a fire."

A sigh rang out in the air: "Meeting sinners right upon arrival; your luck is really bad."

Emma and the three humans looked up and saw only a human emitting holy light slowly floating down from the sky; above this human, an airship was slowly descending.

Anthony flicked three flames of holy fire at the three humans; the moment the holy fire touched them, holy flames instantly ignited on their bodies, burning them into shrieking, agonized screams.

Although they were howling in agony, there were no traces of burning on their bodies, as if that holy fire hadn't burned their bodies at all.

Nai Ge Li Si followed down and, seeing this, said: "Are you being wasteful? Just killing them would be enough; you even used Sin Fire. There are no common believers here to intimidate."

To intimidate (scare) common believers, that is, those with weak faith, the Church of Light created many terrifying holy arts, such as Original Sin Shackles, Fire Torture Posts, Sin Fire, and so on.

This Sin Fire is a holy art that burns the soul, making the opponent emit agonized screams, then completely incinerates the soul; the person being punished dies in pain, mainly to scare the onlookers.

Now there are no onlookers here, except for one terrified little girl and one who has fainted...

"Eh, dead? Just took her last breath, still warm," Nai Ge Li Si checked carefully and discovered that Liz had already died, but from her still-warm body, it was obvious she had only just died not long ago.

Hearing Nai Ge Li Si's words, Emma burst into tears with a "Waaah!"

A beam of holy light fell upon Liz, and Liz, who had just taken her last breath not long ago, also "Waaah!" and sat up.

"Ah! Ahh! Ah! Sister! Sister!" Emma was startled first, screamed a few times, then turned from fright to joy, threw herself onto Liz, and shouted excitedly.

Nai Ge Li Si looked at Anthony in surprise: "How do you know the Resurrection Art too?"

"What are you saying... I am the true spokesperson of Light on earth; you are just a translator. I don't know holy arts; it's just that my lord is demonstrating his power through my hand," Anthony said solemnly.

"Seeing Ange is still on the airship; your flattery won't reach him," Nai Ge Li Si said irritably.

Anthony signaled with his eyes; following his gaze, Nai Ge Li Si spat out a mouthful of old blood; in the vegetable field ahead, Seeing Ange had come down at some point and was digging in the ground, digging up many missed beetroot roots.

The three human souls burned out, and they fell dead. The airship landed, Shah came down, used the ability of his second profession, pressed his staff against the forehead of one of the corpses, and chanted.

Black death energy slowly drilled into the corpse's mouth and nose along with the incantation; the corpse quickly dried out and toughened, then got up.

Doing the same, the three human corpses were transformed into three zombies.

Shah commanded them to go up onto the airship and carry down bag after bag of grain.

Only then did Nai Ge Li Si turn to the two little girls and ask with a smile: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat white rice?"

Having gnawed on beetroot roots for more than a month, the two sisters, whose stomachs were a bit sour, nodded desperately, and Liz weakly asked: "Are you gods?"
