Chapter 71 All major civilizations show their magical powers!
The third branch of human civilization, Old Delhi City.
Akshardham Temple, a temple that can accommodate 100,000 devotees every day, has increased to one million in the past few days.
Countless believers are crawling on the ground, like a swarm of black ants.
They chanted scriptures and listened to the prayers of the high priest.
The external environment has changed drastically and the panicked people urgently need spiritual sustenance.
Religion exerted a powerful force at this moment.
Local officials, plutocrats and religious forces quickly united to provide stable food and allow believers to settle down.
Old Delhi is not a super city with developed industries, but there is plenty of fertile land, and the local rulers are not stupid. Only stability can have a future.
Even the statue of Mahatma Gandhi is placed in the temple...
Anyway, anything that can provide a stable place of faith is good.
"High Priest, there's new news... There's new news from the university!" A young man from a distance hurried over on a "rumbling" motorcycle, and you could see that his face was very anxious.
Until now, basic communications have not been restored in Old Deli, and we can only communicate through telegraphs and city broadcasts...
However, there were only a few telegraph machines in this era. It was basically owned by the army, and the army itself did not have enough.
So we can only rely on motorcycles to convey information.
There is no way, compared to infrastructure, few cities can compare with Yunhai City.
"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly." The white-haired high priest had flowing white hair and was wearing a white robe. His rough and thick beard looked like a dense picture.
As a Brahma with a prominent background, this appearance of immortality is indeed very good.
"Professor Amir Khan from the university asked us to look for an ability called extraordinary fire! It's very important, extremely important! This extraordinary fire is roughly like this..." The young man stumbled and described it again.
"I see...that's really important."
The high priest walked before the crowd, singing and dancing.
"I am a poet, my father is a doctor, my mother is busy grinding, and we are all working like cows for happiness! Soma wine! Come out for Indra."
"A horse wants to pull a light carriage, a happy person laughs and shouts, a man wants a woman to be by his side, a frog wants water to come. Soma wine! Come out for Indra."
After attracting the attention of all the believers, he suddenly changed his style and said loudly: "Extraordinary fire...the gift of Indra! It is a magical flame, hidden in our hearts, but it can burn a blazing fire,
A bright sparkle blooms!"
"Children of gods, don't hide it anymore... Soma wine! Let it flow out for Indra!"
"Children of the gods, do not be afraid. Together with the sacred cows, work hard for happiness and light up the road ahead."
Behind the high priest, followed the mutated big ox, majestic and extraordinary in appearance.
Its size is more than double that of an ordinary large buffalo.
Even though this big buffalo has mutated, it still has a docile character, and the tail on its butt is wagging to drive away the flies around it.
Its ability is: blood can detoxify!
Its bezoar can detoxify hundreds of poisons!
This is indeed a very powerful ability. A drop of cow blood is comparable to the best antibiotics, providing full convenience for the temple to appease the poor.
The dark crowd was prostrate on the ground, not knowing what the high priest was talking about.
However, he saw a child with a sallow face and thin muscles standing up from the ground in a daze. He was the owner of the extraordinary fire.
…
New York City, the sixth branch of humanity.
There are clear distinctions between slum areas and rich areas.
The wealthy areas have basically stabilized, but the riots in the slums are still continuing, and various gun battles are unknown for how long.
An urgent call was made to Professor Edward of the Paranormal Laboratory.
The two sides talked closely.
The old professor conveyed the importance of this matter in sincere words.
"Extraordinary fire...can increase lifespan?"
"Professor, find the person with extraordinary fire as soon as possible!"
Edward did not dare to neglect, because he was facing the largest plutocrat in the city, the controller of the army, and the real ruler of the city today...
But he was very embarrassed: "Sir, how should we search? The outside world is so chaotic now, what can I do?"
The voice on the other side of the phone was slightly gloomy: "Publish it on the radio and give him the best treatment, and he will come out on his own."
Edward frowned and said, "In this situation, no matter how good the treatment is, it will be difficult for him to show up... Why does that extraordinary fire kindling trust us? Sir, you must consider this issue objectively and factually."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while: "We will send troops to stabilize the city as soon as possible so that the poor people can have food to eat."
"But it's not enough, far from enough." Edward sighed.
The other person on the phone said again: "Then, make him a real city hero... New York City needs superheroes now! Yes, the superhero plan, what do you think?"
"We can first let other people with super powers become superheroes, give them superior treatment, and claim that they have extraordinary fire... As long as people have extraordinary fire, they will enjoy special rights."
"Then, fish out the true holder of the extraordinary fire, just like fishing."
Edward was silent. This plan seemed feasible.
Politics is indeed a dark drama.
…
The fourth branch of human civilization, the city of Rome.
"Dear Abba Father, dear God, the living God, Jehovah God, dear Lord..."
The power of religion comforts people's hearts.
I have to admit that many cities with strong religious atmosphere stabilize faster...
The gods of Pangea are ruthless and neutral.
But most sentient beings don't think about this. They just think that they have witnessed a miracle and believe it.
In churches, red archbishops listened to the Pope's edicts, and the squares were crowded with believers... How to say, because there are more educated people, they are not as pious as in Old Delhi, but after all
It's of some use.
After all, faith is a way of life.
"I want to cry out to God and ask Him to bless you!"
"Extraordinary fire, this is a gift from God."
“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ flow into you equally like a river, Amen!”
…
Each city has a different culture, different fundamentals, and different status.
But faced with the huge benefits brought by "Extraordinary Fire", he still acted as quickly as possible.
The 14th branch of human civilization, Capeton City.
As the once richest civilization in Africa, it has been plagued by controversy in recent years. With the decline of its industry and the sharp decline in its economy, Cape Tun City has been having a tough time in recent years.
Gangster culture is even more prevalent.
But this time, the violent turbulence of the environment naturally plunged Cape Tun City into serious turmoil, with crimes such as smashing, looting, and burning occurring in endlessly.
At this moment, several big warlords in the city were sitting in the conference room for a meeting.
Beside the round table were several university professors and several former heads of government.
"Find him, and I will marry my daughter to him." The largest warlord smoked a cigar and shook it gently. "He is very important and affects the future of all of us."
"What if that one is a woman..."
"If it's a girl, I will recognize her as my daughter and give her everything. In short, find the person as soon as possible."
Several university professors were trembling: "Sir, even if you say so, it's still hard to find... We currently have no way to identify superpowers at all."
"There must be a stable urban environment before the owner of the extraordinary fire can believe in us."
"Otherwise, even if you shoot me... there is really nothing I can do."
These warlords have all fallen silent, and we are in big trouble.
…
This is the diversity of civilizations. Some civilizations can rely on "luck", while others can rely on strong organizational capabilities to find the holders of extraordinary fire.
There are many more civilizations, and even if they know about the existence of "extraordinary fire", they still can't find this person.
Of course, there are civilizations that have good luck, and there are civilizations that have very bad luck.
When they learned the truth, they found that the owner of the extraordinary fire... was dead!
"Baga! Extraordinary fire, why did you die?!"
Human civilization, branch 11.
Dongjin City.
A group of soldiers and a large group of leaders in suits were facing a student corpse, and they all doubted life.
It's simply more uncomfortable than losing your own life!
To be honest, compared with Western cities, the social unrest in Dongjin City is not that big.
The three countries in East Asia are influenced by Confucian culture. People are generally conservative and obey authority, and will not have collective doomsday carnivals like Westerners.
But their extraordinary fire... suddenly died?
Dead?!
Displayed on the screen of the big ball: [Number of extraordinary fire types: 0]
Yes, it was "1" just now, and just last hour, it suddenly became "0"!
"How did you die? Tell me!" The officer excitedly grabbed his subordinate's collar and lifted him up directly.
The subordinate quickly reported: "This student...because of long-term campus violence..."
"I was bullied by a bad boy just now and committed suicide by jumping off a building!"
"Someone saw something like a small flame coming out of his body. The small flame burned on the surface of his skin for a minute and then disappeared."
Silence and anger filled the air.
"Those bad boys are really beasts!"
"Catch them! Bunch of bastards!"
Whether they are military officers or government leaders, their faces are pale and gray, but no matter how much they yell and curse, people cannot be resurrected, and their extraordinary fire... is gone!
…
The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, the clouds in the sky are still calm, the mountains are still towering, and the lakes are still quiet. Pangea has never lacked civilization, just like this land has witnessed the life and death of countless civilizations.
It never cares about them.
