Ch168.2 – Extra: Time Brings Great Changes To The World
When the Quetzalcoatlus saw the scene on the beach, it immediately dived down towards them.
Although the people who were eating sweet potatoes were numb, they still instinctively wanted to dodge when they saw this scene. However, the Quetzalcoatlus didn’t rush at them, but instead charged right at the big fish that Zhou Ji had grilled.
Zhou Ji didn’t hesitate to pick up that fish and dodge away. At the same time, Xiong Ye jumped onto the Quetzalcoatlus’s back and then turned into his animal form while still on its back.
That huge brown bear pressed the Quetzalcoatlus into the beach, and the two powerful Beast King level animals began to fight.Zhou Ji protected the group of people who were eating sweet potatoes.
The battle between Xiong Ye and the Quetzalcoatlus didn’t last long. During this battle, Xiong Ye was overwhelmingly dominant.
The Quetzalcoatlus that was unable to get airborne again was doomed to lose a large chunk of its combat power. Not only that, even if the dinosaur had been stronger, it wouldn’t be able to match up to a beastman’s intelligence.
The huge brown bear killed the Quetzalcoatlus.
After killing it, Xiong Ye turned back into his human form and came to Zhou Ji’s side. At this time, all the survivors were kneeling on the ground kowtowing repeatedly.
Zhou Ji understood their mood. In the eyes of these people, Xiong Ye was probably an existence similar to a savior.
However, right now, this savior wanted to eat fish first.Zhou Ji divided the big fish into two and ate it with Xiong Ye.
They didn’t eat the Quetzalcoatlus. They only dug out the Quetzalcoatlus’s crystal core for Xiong Ye to use for cultivation––after realizing that the Quetzalcoatlus had eaten beastmen, neither Xiong Ye or Zhou Ji were interested in eating its meat.
Finally, the Quetzalcoatlus’s flesh was eaten by the beastmen who were filled with hatred towards it.
A group of weak beastmen ate the meat of a Beast King level dinosaur… these people all suffered from upset stomachs, but fortunately Zhou Ji was there, and nothing serious ended up happening to them.
Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye stayed there for a few days and sent that group of people to a safe place. Zhou Ji also grew some sweet potatoes for them before they left.
During the following days, they saved some more people and met other Beast King level dinosaurs or prehistoric behemoths.
However, as long as these big fellows didn’t kill people, Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye didn’t go and kill them either.
This was because Zhou Ji had discovered that a Beast King level crystal core was enough for Xiong Ye to cultivate on for several years.
Since that was the case, they didn’t have to kill anymore such dinosaurs.
As for the future… they could figure it out later.
Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye wandered around outside for over four months. By the time they returned to the Big Bear Tribe, the Big Bear Tribe was just about to hold the Beast God Sacrifice.
The four month long honeymoon had made Zhou Ji very happy, so he agreed to this request.
Thus, on the day of the Beast God Sacrifice, the flame flowers bloomed without needing to be watered, and many plants that had only just been planted all grew to maturity at once.
This was the Beast God’s miracle.
For a time, there were people singing songs of praise for the Beast God everywhere in the tribe.
Zhou Ji turned a deaf ear to all this. He figured out how to make ink, and then made feather quills and brushes.
In order to make the latter, he had plucked fur from a lot of different animal forms, but he later discovered that it was still better to use quills.
The paper they used now wasn’t very good, and it wasn’t good to paint with. It was easy for everything to blur when he wrote with a brush.
In fact, even writing with a feather quill wasn’t very convenient. Fortunately, Zhou Ji only used the paper and quill to make a draft… He had Xiong Ye prepare some stone tablets, and after making his draft, he directly carved his own writing onto the tablets using his spiritual powers.
It would last longer this way.
Zhou Ji not only wrote about what he’d seen and heard during his journeys, but also sorted out and set down the laws for the Big Bear Tribe. He engraved them on stone tablets that were then placed in the Big Bear Tribe’s valley.
The people of the Big Bear Tribe had moved out of the valley and now lived in the mud houses built nearby. Now, the valley was used to store food, erect stone tablets, and so on.
Zhou Ji felt that this was quite a good situation.
The priest of the Beast God Temple also felt that this was a very good situation.
With clear laws on hand, it was easier to manage the beastmen. As for the things that the Beast God had written, the writings allowed them to learn more about the outside world.
Moreover, they could now learn words through the things that the Beast God had written.
The Big Bear Tribe underwent another year of rapid development that year.
Towards the end of that summer, some of the priests of the Beast God Temple proposed to go back to the Beastman Continent. Zhou Ji agreed, and asked the Rhinoceros Beast King and Hai Feng to accompany them back.
Zhou Ji had thought that these people would remain there for a long time after returning and might only return next year, but he’d been wrong.
Those people returned that winter.
Some of them stayed with the Beast God Temple, but there were even more people who’d come over from the Beast God Temple.
These people had all come to learn from the Big Bear Tribe.
The people of the Beast God Temple were eager to learn all the things that could be learnt in the Big Bear Tribe. Of course, the most important thing they wanted to learn was words. They also spontaneously copied Zhou Ji’s nursery rhymes and the Beast God Temple chants onto paper and bound them into volumes to study.
When Zhou Ji saw them like this, he even started to feel that he was too lazy and wondered if he should write more things…
Finally, Zhou Ji decided to write a collection of stories.
He decided to write some simple stores in order to spread his ideas.
For example, one needed to be loyal to their mate if they chose a mate. If they had irreconcilable conflicts, they could also separate and find other mates.
For example, if they had children, they should raise them well. As for the children, they should take care of their parents when they grew up.
Another example was to be honest when they did things and not to cheat others.
He also praised those who were willing to help others after they had enough resources themselves.
Zhou Ji wrote about these things in the form of stories. For example, in the last story about helping others, he wrote the story of Xiong Ye taking care of the elderly and children of the tribe.
He carefully considered these stories as he wrote them, because he knew that what he wrote now might be taken as a maxim in the future by all the beastmen in the world, and they may follow them all to extremes.
On Earth, some of the ancient books left by various religions were infinitely elevated, to the point where their importance was even higher than national laws…
In order to avoid such a situation, Zhou Ji didn’t dare write too much. All his stories focused on truth, goodness, and beauty, and he specifically wrote a story to show that paying tribute to the Beast God or worshipping the Beast God wouldn’t garner the Beast God’s favor because the Beast God wasn’t short on anything––he was afraid that the Beast God Temple would begin to produce things like ‘atonement certificates’ and other such things in the future.
This book wasn’t something that Zhou Ji could finish in a short time. He first carved out the stories he’d finished writing on stone tablets, then continued to slowly write the rest just like his travel journal.
Additionally, he encouraged the people of the tribe to write about other things, such as how to farm the land and breed dinosaurs.
This kind of thing could be written collectively by many people, with Xiong Ye sorting it out at the end before engraving it onto stone tablets. When it was engraved, even the names of the contributors could be included.
It was for this reason that finally, the people of the tribe almost all rushed to write something that could then be engraved onto the stone tablets.
The culture of learning in the tribe became even more intense. The children of the Big Bear Tribe were proud of their education and all loved to learn.
This was because after they learned words, they would be able to understand the things that the Beast God had left behind!
For this reason, the priest of the Big Bear Tribe chased after Xiong He and gave him a beating because he felt that Xiong He couldn’t even compare to the children of the tribe…
That winter, Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye left the tribe again.
This time, they planned to first head north.
Regardless of whether it was the brown bear or the mammoth, they were both very resistant to cold. Brown bears hibernated in winter not because of the cold, but due to the lack of food.
Not to mention that they were Beast Kings… When they arrived at ice and snow buffeted Arctic, they were still able to live a good life.
It was just that… they’d encountered polar nights, where there was no sunlight at all.
Xiong Ye couldn’t get used to this situation. Zhou Ji, on the other hand, felt that it was pretty good––he built an igloo, then brought Xiong Ye inside so that they could ‘sleep’ for… about ten days?
It was dark everywhere, and they felt that they could continue sleeping on like this forever…
They returned to the tribe before the Beast God Sacrifice once again. More stone tablets were added to the valley. One of them said that there was a place in the far north where half the year was daytime, and half the year was night…
The people of the Big Bear tribe were very surprised to learn about this.
However, apart from the Beast Kings, other people wouldn’t be able to see it even if they wanted to.
As usual, that year, some people from the Beast God Temple went back, and other people from the Beast God Temple came.
In the past, the wild forest had been used by the Beast God Temple to exile people, but now it had become a holy place for pilgrimage. Everyone in the Beastman Continent was proud to be able to come and see the Big Bear Tribe.
Another few years passed, and the Big Bear Tribe’s development was now completely on the right track. Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye didn’t need to oversee it anymore… At this time, Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji left once again.
This time, they directly left for several years straight.
When they returned a few years later, they found that the Big Bear Tribe had many more things. For example, someone had learned to make cotton thread, and the quality of the paper they produced had improved a lot.
Of course, the most satisfying thing for them was to see that the city that they’d planned was almost complete.
This was a very beautiful city, filled with many people they knew and liked.
This time, Zhou Ji and Xiong Ye remained there for a very long time. Of course, Zhou Ji also wrote a lot of things.
At first, he hadn’t had much sense of belonging to this world, but now… Seeing the Big Bear Tribe getting better and better in his hands, he felt that he was more and more bound to this world.
Zhou Ji also discovered that he liked this world more and more, too.
As for the people of this world… they were becoming more and more fond of their Beast God.
Under the Beast God’s leadership, their lives were getting better and better.
