Chapter 864 - Are You Comforted (1/2)

The Japanese Archipelago.

At a corner within a huge crypt, there were many greyish white polymers resembling human brains being formed.

The God of Plagues was fiddling with those greyish white living things, which were being aggregated into individual human brains.

Each brain was hundreds of meters in circumference and they were numerous. After thousands and millions of evolutions, no living being had ever possessed such huge brains.

There were many greyish white silk lines connecting theses brains.

There were light flashes on these silk lines, giving them a mysterious and strange look, much like something seen in a science fiction story.

If an outsider had witnessed this, they would be sure to get scared dumbfounded.

“All we need is to accumulate eighty-one of these living brains for the biological computer to finally form in order to deduce the Heavenly Axiom of this world,” the God of Plagues could not help admiring his work.

“Why must it be eighty-one of them? Does using a biological computer with humankind’s technology require a pole number of the path?” The Moon Goddess looked up at this scene with curiosity.

“It’s nothing, just a habit from before. Actually, eighty or eighty-two would not be a problem as well…” The God of Plagues replied simply.

“…” The Moon Goddess had no reply to this.

“Oh, one more thing. This might be useful for both of us. The inheritance of the Culinary God has started,” The Moon Goddess paused a moment before she suddenly brought this up.

“Oh, he’s just a minor god, there’s not much value in his inheritance, which is nothing but culinary matters. It’s pretty boring. If it was about inheriting the Land of Heritage left by those mysterious beings, I’d be interested. Unfortunately, we missed the opportunity,” the God of Plagues was not at all concerned and continued admiring his work.

“I did hear of a secret, that the Culinary God did not fall but had hidden his spirit within an illuminated artifact which will descend into this world via the Land of Heritage,” the Moon Goddess suddenly said.

“You are truly a disciple of the sages; you are indeed well-informed. Lowly gods such as us cannot compare. If there was a god’s spirit that is able to become the core of this biological computer, its power will increase tenfold and will probably possess many mysterious abilities,” the God of Plagues’ eyes lit up at her words.

“This is the reason I am revealing this secret,” said the Moon Goddess casually.

“Hoho, then I must really thank you. If the spirit of the Culinary God is able to meld with this biological computer, there will be a higher chance of me restoring my place in the future,” the God of Plague was delighted.

“The Land of Culinary is currently being developed, but it will only last for a moment. In order to pass on his inheritance, I believe the Culinary God’s soul would not leave the realm. This will be our only chance,” the Moon Goddess said lightly.

“I’ll leave for the land immediately. Do help me take care of this place, Moon Goddess,” the God of Plagues did not ask for the way to enter the Land of Culinary. Obviously, he was already aware of how to get in.

He is, after all, a god. Mortals would need the Heavenly Axiom to announce certain matters but gods did not need it.

The God of Plagues disappeared from the crypt.

After a while, the Moon Goddess lifted her head to look at the squirming big brains and suddenly reached out to touch them. A white light flashed on one of the big brains and disappeared.

How would she not be tempted after listening to the God of Plagues boasting about its greatness?

There was no such thing as ‘friends’ between gods…

…

At the Underground Greater Rat Kingdom.

The whole city was under curfew. All members who were of not of important positions were instructed to take a month’s leave and to give prayers and incense to the clan temples in their residential areas on a daily basis.

Clan temples were located in the middle of the neighborhood and took up quite some space, which were usually as big as a park.

The temples worshipped the statues of ancestors. There was the statue of the current king, as well as the tablets of greater rats who had died upon descending. There was also the worship of heaven and earth. Other than that, there were no other gods.
