Chapter 336: Chapter 87: Only One Day_2



"We\'re still short of hands, but we can\'t neglect the future—everything needs to have a plan beforehand, built on a sufficient scale,"

"Constructing The Temple, opening up fields, building houses—even tens of thousands would find it hard to complete these tasks within three seasonal changes, let alone us, who don\'t even number in the thousands,"

Shaking his head slightly, Nuo seemed to be complaining about the difficult situation, but Cohen could tell at a glance that the other\'s mood was actually quite good.

Of course, not just Nuo, Cohen\'s mood at this moment was equally good. Trudging over mountains and through rivers to blaze trails, although the land was now devoid of wild beasts, the dangers of nature were still significant.

Yet not long ago, they finally found this place guided by starlight. A quiet bay, fertile land, exposed ores on the surface, and a sizable freshwater lake—apart from lacking dangerous terrain, this place had almost all the excellent conditions for establishing a city.

So, they immediately took root here, building an altar for the Sacred Fire and The Temple for the worship of the Deity. It was a huge project in itself, because even The Temple of the Bronze Humanity had largely relied on Prometheus\'s help to complete those magnificent constructions in primitive times.

But now, Humans led by Nuo, though without the help of the Deity, had Cohen, whose power in the mortal realm was no less than that of the Deity.

Hence, The Temple was quickly erected on the highest cliff, but when it came to the statues of the gods, the two encountered a difficulty. Neither Nuo nor Cohen knew how to carve the lord\'s image, so out of helplessness, they enshrined the Astrolabe instead.

Using a sacred artifact in place of the god\'s image was a barely acceptable solution.

"It will develop, Nuo, after all, we already have a new generation. Perhaps the populace is small now, but the next generation will have populations multiplied manifold. One day, millions of Humans will live here, establishing a magnificent civilization,"

"It won\'t be like the Golden Humanity, clinging to the old ways for a millennium without change, nor like Bronze Humanity, fleeting in a moment, but will endure forever,"

Feeling a little emotional, yet reflective. At this moment, Cohen vaguely felt that the strange sensation he had experienced during his confrontation with Triton once again welled up in his heart.

But this time, it wasn\'t as intense as before. There were no swift changes, only slow and steady.

"You\'re right, Cohen. The holy city cannot be built in a day, and I need not be so hasty,"

Beside him, Nuo smiled, looking toward the west where the freshwater lake lay.

Since they were guided here by starlight, Nuo named it \'Falling Star Lake\', and those water Nymphs they encountered along the way settled there.

As for now, numerous temporary wooden houses had been built around the area, for on their journey, many Humans had become spouses to those Nymphs, witnessed by Nuo.

Before long, new members would join this freshly built city, their presence heralding that when this generation passes, others will continue the civilization.

"Buzz—"

After chatting for a bit more, although it was already deep into the night, Nuo\'s spirits were still high. Suddenly, a buzzing sound emanated from the only completed building in the distance.

Nuo and Cohen promptly stood up, and within their gaze, specks of starlight overflowed from the high cliffs, illuminating the surrounding seas.

"That is—the gods have finally answered us!"

First, they were startled, then joy flooded their hearts. Ever since arriving here, Nuo had prayed daily in The Temple, hoping for further guidance from the lord. But during these days, he had achieved nothing and had not even felt the sensation of being watched.

Unexpectedly today, a divine sign appeared before them.

"Let\'s go, let\'s head over together,"

With a call, Nuo immediately strode towards The Temple.

The Angel, whom they had met only once, had said that she would provide further guidance once they reached their destination. She would bestow them with extraordinary powers, allowing those who believed in god to bask in the glory of divinity to some extent.

Perhaps today was the day, yet compared to power, Nuo had many more questions to ask, like how he should compile the teachings for the lord, ensuring that the faith and their lineage would flow on forever.

······

Before long, the Human settlement was within sight.

Deity was still Deity, even if Leto had just sustained considerable loss of her Vital Essence, her body remained beyond mortal comparison. A distance that would take a common person half a day to cross was not far for her, and soon, she spotted Human figures.

Yet standing here, Leto began to feel surprised and suspicious, for she sensed a faint Sun aura on the Humans who seemed to be on guard.

"Is this...divine fragments of the ancient God of Sun scattered?"

For a moment, Leto thought these might be the descendants of the God of Sun, left unknown when, but in the very next moment, the goddess discerned the difference between this power and that of Helios.

The latter\'s presence was far from as pure; he only represented the orderly aspect of the Sun\'s movement, and when the Sun Chariot was forged, the inherently aggressive aspect was further diminished.
