chapter 8

The five were still young, so they didn't react to Xi Wei's teachings. After all, they didn't understand the game memes from Earth, nor did they understand the meaning behind Xi Wei's teachings.

Xi Wei didn't rush into the next step of his plan. Instead, he had the children bury the villagers' corpses.

The Dragonfang's habits were similar to those of cats on Earth. Aside from satisfying their appetite, they also enjoyed the pleasure of killing. That was why only a few of the villagers were eaten, and most of them were simply killed.

If he left the carcass here, it wouldn't be long before other wild beasts came to devour it. In fact, they could already see birds that looked like crows circling in the sky, eyeing the corpses.

Leaving the villagers' corpses exposed in the wilderness was unacceptable, not to mention the fact that he was a Hua Nation citizen before he transmigrated and was influenced by the idea that the dead should be buried in peace, even from the perspective of Eleena and the others' feelings.

With Xi Wei around, the digging and filling of the soil, which was the most difficult part of burying the villagers, didn't take too much time.

Before the sun had even set, the graves with wooden crosses were already erected in the center of the village, and the simple funeral ceremony was already over.

Previously, because they were immersed in the novelty of obtaining the 'system', they did not realize that when they dragged the bodies of their loved ones into the grave and watched the faces of their loved ones that seemed to be in deep sleep gradually covered by the soil, they finally realized that they would never be able to see their families again.

Eleena and Jessica both broke down and cried. Eggface and Joe were also sobbing softly. Edward was the only one who had a sorrowful expression on his face, but he managed to control his emotions and didn't shed any tears.

"Mister Xi Wei, what do we do now?" Eleena asked softly after she finally stopped crying.

"There's no point in staying here. From tomorrow onwards, you will head east, through Ulasilar, and head towards Jonias County, the border of the Empire. It's a small town outside the Valley of the Tragic Dead called the 'Purple Door'." Xi Wei looked around and noticed that the others were looking at him as well. "That place will become the base for the development of the Church of Games, a beginner's village for our believers …"

"But we've never been so far away from Kennington Village." Eleena clutched her chest, her eyes as anxious as a swallow flying for the first time.

"There's always a first time. I believe that you would be able to do it after receiving the God of Games' blessing." Xi Wei comforted her gently, stroking her head.

"But …"

Eleena was still a little worried.

At this time, she suddenly realized that the big hand that was gently stroking her head had stopped at some point.

"Mister Xi Wei?" The girl turned around, but she could no longer see him.

The people next to him also looked as if they had just woken up from a dream. Big Joe frowned and asked, "Where did the lord go?"

"I don't know. Didn't you guys watch?" Goudan scratched his head.

JESSICA was puzzled. "I didn't see him either. He just disappeared when I wasn't paying attention."

"If I remember correctly …" Edward, who was the oldest, suddenly said.

Everyone's gaze fell on Edward, who was deep in thought.

"When I went to the city with papa, I heard that even the archbishop of a church does not have the right to choose a 'Saintes's'," Edward said slowly.

"Could it be that Uncle Xi Wei is the pope?" Goudan asked in surprise.

"Unless it's absolutely necessary, the pope of a church would not leave the archbishop's hall." Edward shook his head. "If you want to say it, the possibility of him being the Chosen One is higher … But I don't think he's the Chosen One."

"Edward, what are you trying to say?" Joe, who was not very good at using his brain, asked impatiently.

"Could it be …" jESSICA seemed to have thought of something, and she looked shocked.

"Yes, I think that Lord Xi Wei is the incarnation of the legendary gods!" Edward did not keep them in suspense, and directly revealed the answer to his guess.

"How is that possible!" Joe shook his head, feeling that it was too unbelievable.

"I, I also think that it's too exaggerated!" jESSICA agreed.

"Eleena, who has the potential of a Saintes's, is one thing, but don't forget that the four of us are just normal villagers! Under normal circumstances, the gods wouldn't even notice our existence! If that person isn't a god, then what right do we have for a god to give us such a precious gift? "

"Also, think about it carefully. Disappearing immediately after leaving an instruction to guide the way forward, isn't that very similar to what the gods in myths look like when they deliver an oracle?" Edward said with extreme seriousness and fanaticism.

After hearing his words, the others more or less accepted his guess.

"Then, I was given a name by a god!" Goudan was so excited that his whole body was trembling. "Remember, don't call me Goudan from now on, call me Doug!"

"Yes, Goudan." "No problem, Goudan." "We'll listen to you, Goudan." His three companions immediately replied, and only Eleena smiled bitterly.

Goudan was speechless.

"Anyway, it's very clear what we have to do now." Edward coughed lightly, and said in a serious tone, "Everyone, get ready. Tomorrow morning, we will set off east according to that person's wishes!"

The other four had no objections, and quickly returned to their own homes, ready to spend their last night in the village they had lived in for more than ten years …

☆

Xi Wei, who had returned to his Divine Kingdom and was observing his believers with the Divine Eye, was shocked.

He didn't expect Edward to be able to guess his identity at all. Although the process of guessing and reasoning was a complete mess, the only thing that was right was the answer …

But seeing the five of them pull themselves together, Xi Wei still smiled in relief (even though he didn't have a face in his divine form).

As expected, choosing young people as his first believers was the right choice.

Not only did they have a stronger ability to accept new religions and things more easily, but their curiosity also made them less likely to wallow in sorrow, and they were able to pull themselves together more easily than middle-aged people.

"If that's the case, I can't fall behind. Before they reach that town, I have to make all the preparations. "
