Great Creator

The current composition of the human race is still very loose.

The leaders of the four major tribes are called patriarchs.

The patriarch himself has territories, warriors, wizards and temples.

The tribal area under the control of the patriarch is very large, so there is a second level of local governors-headmen.

A leader with a large number of people can manage a dozen villages, and a small number of people can also manage two or three villages.

The headman also has his own warrior team. While guarding his own jurisdiction, he will also obey the orders of the patriarch to go out to fight.

The human races have been fighting each other for nearly a hundred years since they split.

In every war, a group of people will die, and a group of people will be captured.

In the past, when Shuzi ruled the human race, their opponents were the apes. The apes had low intelligence. As long as they were gentle, they would gradually forget their hatred and integrate into the human race.

But now their opponents are both intelligent humans.

So captives become domestic slaves.

All the chiefs and patriarchs who participated in the war had some domestic slaves.

Those domestic slaves wore shackles and lived the most miserable life. They only worked all day long and lived on a little food handed out by their masters.

Since having domestic slaves, the relationship between the headman and the villagers under his jurisdiction has become less close.

In the past, the headman used the force at hand to protect the villagers from war and beasts.

The villagers help the headman to cultivate the land.

Now that the headman has a domestic slave, he is not so dependent on the villagers.

This also led to the fact that the leader of Youhe clan, who is now in charge of Lihe Village, saw that the situation was not good, and didn't even have the idea of ​​rescue, so he took his soldiers and slaves, packed up and ran away.

Before he ran, he even told the villagers in Lihe Village that they should build embankments to stop the flood. He would have people with tools and hands, and then he would come to help, and he would surely keep the whole village safe.

The villagers in Lihe Village believed it, so they didn't run away, because they didn't have a boat, and they didn't stockpile food at high places.

They've been embanking, they've been waiting for the chief to come.

But not only did the leader not come, but the river kept rising.

Uncle Ax, the most prestigious in the village, then sent Cao Jiu, the fastest one, to ask when the headman would come.

In the end, the news brought by Cao Jiu made all the villagers dumbfounded.

"The leader ran away?" The villagers sat on the ground helplessly, hopeless in their eyes.

Uncle Ax sternly shouted: "Don't wait! Let's go before the embankment collapses! Go back! Take the family with you!"

Only then did everyone wake up, and rushed home one after another.

Cao Jiu also followed to the village. Others had homes, but he was the only one in his home, and he didn't even know where to go.

"Xiao Jiu! Wait, run to a higher place! If you can't escape, find the tallest tree and climb up!" Uncle Ax roared behind him.

Cao Jiu turned around, nodded gratefully to Uncle Fu, and walked out of the village.

Uncle Ax watched Cao Jiu leave with tears streaming down his eyes.

This child is really suffering, but this time, maybe he can survive! Because he is flexible in his hands and feet, and he has no family to drag him down. I hope this child can survive and live a good life in the future...

Uncle Ax ran towards his house. There were still many young and old in his house.

After walking a few steps, Cao Jiu suddenly remembered something.

That was days ago.

An outsider came outside Zhuangzi where the headman lived.

He appeared to be a male wizard with a young and handsome face, wearing a brown-based wizard robe with braided embellishments.

In this era, people's mobility is not strong. Apart from wizards and warriors, there are nobles like chiefs and patriarchs. Few people move around.

So after the wizard came, many people in the village knew that a stranger had come.

Many villagers followed to watch.

Cao Jiu was among them.

The wizard came to the headman's village, stood outside and knocked on the gate.

The warriors under the headman let him in.

After a while, the man was directly beaten out by the headman's men.

While beating, the leader's subordinates also cursed:

"Tell you to talk nonsense! You still want our leader to die? There is no wind god, only the ancestor god is the real god!"

The young wizard avoided the pursuit of the headman's men, retreated, and then silently patted the dirt on his body.

The villagers gathered around, talking a lot.

The young wizard looked calm and said to the villagers:

"Hello, I'm the wizard of Fengshen."

Fengshen? None of the villagers had heard of this god.

They only know three ancestor gods.

I heard that there have been quite a few gods appearing over the years, but all of these have nothing to do with this remote village along the river.

The wizard continued to say to them: "Because the water god is dissatisfied with the jurisdiction of the emperor of heaven, he committed a rebellion and is about to bring disasters to the earth. Now, there is no defense here, and disasters are likely to occur."

Really? The villagers talked a lot.

It is true that there has been a lot of rain recently, but this has also made the crops grow better, which is not bad.

The wizard didn't seem to mind the indifference of the villagers. He continued:

"However, Fengshen gave you a chance. As long as one of you is sincerely willing to die for everyone as a sacrifice to Fengshen, Fengshen will save everyone."

The villagers immediately became lively.

"Oh, no wonder you get beaten."

"What kind of god is Fengshen, an evil god? You want people to die."

"Let's go! It's polite not to kill you. We all believe in ancestor gods here, and don't believe in wind gods!"

Facing the malice of the villagers, the wizard's handsome face did not show any displeasure, he just said politely:

"If you don't like it, forget it. I can only go to the next place and continue to ask."

With that said, the wizard left by himself.

Later, the river water rose day by day, and the villagers finally panicked.

Floods are coming.

But now, when the whole village was in chaos, Cao Jiu remembered what happened before.

"Claims upon the earth"—the floods came.

"There's no defense here" - they really weren't prepared for the flood.

What the wizard said was true!

Cao Jiu suddenly regretted it. On the same day, he was watching from the sidelines, but he didn't ask the wizard about the specific method of how Fengshen saved everyone.

He glanced back at the embankment.

Water started to seep in there.

The heavy rain is mixed with the wind, whistling in the air, the river is choppy, and the embankment will soon collapse.

But now, even though the villagers rushed home, they were afraid that it would be too late to escape.

That's too late!

Cao Jiu recalled the direction the wizard left that day, it should be...the road east of the village!

He no longer cared about finding any tall mountains and trees, but ran desperately in that direction, and while running, he was thinking about what the wizard said that day.

What did the wizard say... Fengshen gave everyone a chance?

Sacrifice... to die for everyone?

A decisive thought flashed through Cao Jiu's mind.

While running, he roared loudly in the rain:

"Wizard! Where are you, Wizard! Wizard of the Wind God!"

"Come back! If there is still a chance, I promise you! I am willing to die for everyone! I want them to live!"

From childhood to adulthood, scenes of warm memories flashed in Cao Jiu's heart.

Every morsel of food and every piece of clothing for him was given to him by the kind-hearted people in the village.

Everyone didn't have much food, and everyone in the village couldn't eat enough and couldn't wear warm clothes. However, even if they themselves were not full sometimes, they would share some of the food in the bowl and let Cao Jiu eat it.

Even when the flood came, they used their strong bodies to continuously dig soil and transport rocks to prevent the collapse of the embankment, and let Cao Jiu take on lighter errands.

In the pouring rain, Cao Jiu cried while running:

"But wizard, wizard, please, we are all good people, we must not die!"

"If everyone in the village can survive, I am willing to die, Fengshen, please!"

A flash of lightning flashed in the heavy rain, the dazzling light illuminated the sky and the earth, and the thunder roared.

With the light of lightning, Cao Jiu saw a person standing at the end of the road leading to the east.

When did he appear, or has he been standing there?

Cao Jiu didn't know, but what he knew was that that person—

It's a wizard! That sorcerer of Fengshen!
