The Old Gods showroom features restored sculptures of one of the old gods.
Jack, clad in animal skin, the totem pole of the praying god, the stone monument on which the Ming god carved his foul mouth, the god of Yangwu, who was keen on sacrifices, the god of the skeleton hats, who was shaped like an upright amphibian, the god of the tapeworms with mushroom and stone statues, and the god of the three limbs with three heads. ……
Lu Yao raised his eyes and looked around, and it seemed as if the battle with them was just yesterday.
He clicked to transform the spectacle.
With Faith reduced by 5,000 points, a burst of white light emanated from the rectangular museum surrounded by stone pillars.
–You name it ______ Museum.
Lu Yao thought.
Salt City Museum? Too common.
The Museum of the Old Gods? Again, a little too wild.
Let’s just call it the Museum of the Old Gods.
……
[Museum of the Olden Days]: A museum built in Salt Lake City that collects and exhibits various historical heritages and houses restored idols and legends of the old gods and goddesses.
By increasing the collection of various ancient legacies, you can raise the level of this wonder.
The city in which the Museum of the Olden Days is located has +1 Knowledge for all and has a chance of giving birth to an archaeologist.
……
The description of the spectacle made Lu Yao’s heart rejoice.
Archaeologists themselves could grow from archaeology, a profession with high growth.
The need for advancement in museums is also intuitive.
As long as the Fabiani-led archaeologists keep going around archaeologising and collecting all sorts of artefacts to put in the museum, the spectacle can be upgraded in rank.
And at the same time Lu Yao transformed the wonders, the little people in the museum, exclamation marks popped up one by one above their heads.
“The will of the gods has descended!”
“A spectacle, this museum has been recognised by the Lord Gods!”
“The Museum of the Olden Days, the gods have bestowed the name.”
“Thanks to the great gods, Salt Lake City has its first wonder!”
“We have our own spectacle too! We’ve waited too long for this day!”
Prophet Dorenunu announced on the spot, “In celebration of the gods’ gift, there will be an open-air banquet outside the temple tonight! All may come and join in.”
Old Merchant Li added, “Please remember to bring your own cans of meal, the temple will only serve ale, you will have to bring your own food.”
Mayor Coppersea also smiled broadly, “All come all come!”
The little people of Salt City were all excited, smiling faces emerging from their heads.
……
Lu Yao then remembered.
Of the three cities, Yao City had a theatre, a monument, and a seminary, Saniro had the World City Depot, and it was Salt City that only now had its first spectacle of its own.
A thing like a spectacle may not bring rapid gain, but it cannot be without. Without it, you fall behind in your sister cities.
The people of Yancheng stood up!
While everyone was cheering, one little man stood alone and fell into silence.
It was none other than Fabiani, the archaeologist.
He looked towards the [Old Gods Display Room] and examined the statue of one of the Old Gods inside, thoughts floating above his head.
“The fallen Old Gods cannot represent the truth, the truth is immortal.”
“O Lord Yao God, I worship and revere you, yet fear and coward your wisdom, both yearning for the prophets who follow you in the temple, yet unable to face the disillusionment and betrayal of the old times. Such foolish thoughts as mine must strike you as laughable.”
“I can only look for the traces that history has left in this world and hope to find some answers in them.”
“The future cannot be judged, the present is unpredictable, and probably only the past can be seen and determined. Perhaps that’s what museums and archaeology are all about.”
“That’s what it took me more than a decade to figure out, and I thank you for the freedom and tolerance you gave me.”
“Praise You, our Heavenly Father and Saviour.”
Fabiani prayed silently.
Lu Yao thought it was pretty good.
He shifted his perspective and stopped at Shang Li.
Somehow, the old Shang Li stepped down as mayor and was succeeded by Copper Sea.
Lu Yao noticed that Shang Li finally had the ghost symbol on top of his head.
For a 108-year-old man, his life had been long enough.
Shang Li quietly left Salt City and travelled by carriage all the way to Yao City in the east. He wore a wide-brimmed hat and a black robe, looking like a plain old man.
After arriving at Yao City, Shang Li first walked around the streets, and then he seemed to be tired and sat down on the street to rest.
A young man passed by and asked him if he was unwell.
Shang Li said he was fine, just old.
After a while, the old man continued to stand up and walk forward, and he made it all the way to the [Mulled Wine Theatre] this time. After buying a ticket at the door, Shang Li went in with the crowd and sat in the last row.
In the centre of the stage was a performance of the latest play, Falling Sun, about how the Yao God expelled and struck down the Ember Sun. However, it was nearing the end by this time, and the crowd was leaving the theatre one by one.
Next up was another short play, Death of a Demon, about the Pigfish Brothers fighting the Black Bear Demon.
This was a classic play from the theatre’s inception. However, as the story was too familiar, the audience was few and far between, mostly older people.
Shang Li watched with great interest, a smile emerging from his head.
Not a moment later, a small man walked in and sat down next to him.
It was the Prophet Medicine Spoon.
Medicine Spoon was older now, but she was still a young person in front of Shangri-La.
A dialogue box appeared on Shang Li’s head, “How come even you were startled? I just came over to watch the play.”
“You need to take care of your health.”
“My health is good enough.” Shang Li said, “It is already Yao God’s grace that a man of my age can still live to see the dawn of a new era.”
Medicine Spoon said, “You don’t have to serve as mayor now, it’s time to rest.”
“I heard that the [Flame Society]’s magic medicine research, is already going to be successful?” The old man suddenly asked.
“……”
Pill Spoon was silent for a moment, eventually confessing, “It will take a lot of experimentation, and the magic potion itself is a dangerous and powerful drug. No amount of caution is too much.”
“Tough on you guys, the new era still relies on you.”
Shang Li suddenly said, “I want to play a hand of Tribal Wargames.”
“Good.”
Pill Spoon greeted the Temple Guild scholars outside, and someone soon brought the battle flag.
By this time, the short play had quietly come to an end.
The two men began to play chess.
After a while, the symbol for ZZZ floated above Shang Li’s head and he fell asleep in his chair.
Soon, [Death] was revealed on the old man’s head.
Medicine Spoon was calm about Shang Li’s death and simply said, “You rest well.”
Then she turned and left.
Not a moment later, a ghostly villain appeared.
Lu Yao took a look and it was the game boy Mu Ke who he hadn’t seen for a long time.
Mu Ke said beside Shang Li’s body, “You can finally die, and you have lived a little too long.”
Shang Li’s ghost also slowly coalesced out, “Are you looking forward to my death?”
“There’s no point in living too long, death is a new beginning.”
Mukhorn said, “Cut the crap and come with me to Saniro, a ghost can’t be away from Saniro for too long or it will become slow in the head. The fishing company told me to wait for you here.”
“How did that guy know I would die here?”
“Hey, Fisherman’s Company said that this was the first big deal you ever pulled off, and a place you couldn’t forget. He said you’d more than likely choose to end up here. He thinks you will.”
“…… Chuckle, just a coincidence.”
The two ghostly villains chatted as they headed towards the ghost city in the south.
At this point, the second generation of leaders and mayors of Salt City, all retired.
Lu Yao moved his neck.
Next, was the Divine Experiment session.
He had already listed a table with some of the species that were suitable for placement.
But before that, Lu Yao needed to do an important piece of preparation.
Create an exclusive test field.
The previously failed ladybird and earthworm varieties may not fail to integrate completely into the pixelated world, just to be released into the wild by themselves before they are fully developed. This allowed them to die on the spot if they were not careful.
So it was necessary to get a drop-specific experimental garden, and first carry out repeated observations for a period of time, waiting for the species to initially reproduce, and after a certain scale they would gradually integrate into the outside world.
Even if a dangerous species is descended, it can be quickly contained to avoid harming the ecology of the pixel world.
Lu Yao set his sights on the Eastern Continent.
This place would be a good fit.
