The Heavens: Cthulhu started from Hokage

As locals, the White Scales were familiar with the terrain around the village, so they chose a complicated forest path.

Relying on their familiarity with the terrain and the second-level magic "Wind Protection" cast by the priest, the White Scales threw off the pursuers of the Red Fangs behind them, walked through the dense forest, and gathered under a waterfall somewhere.

They survived.

But, my home is gone...

At this time, the setting sun was setting and it was almost dusk.

All the White Scale tribe members gathered together, and in order to avoid the Red Fang tribe members from noticing, they did not even dare to light a bonfire.

The biting cold wind whistled, as if taunting the White Scale clan, blowing on them, making the White Scale clan members shiver with chills.

They crowded around the most respected priest in the village without saying a word.

Despair has already spread in the hearts of all the tribesmen like ink dripping on the ground.

Where should they go now? This is a question that all the White Scales people are thinking about.

In the desperate atmosphere, the priest seemed strangely calm.

Under the strange eyes of the tribe, she took out a small statue from her arms.

An extremely weird and magical statue, full of weird atmosphere.

Painted black, the figurine depicts some unidentified, barrel-shaped creature with ridges, with spindly limbs extending like spokes from a central spiny octopus head.

The ominous aura emanating from the figurine is easily palpable.

The priest held the statue in his hands like a sacred object, with a pious light shining in his eyes.

Memories flooded into the priest's brain...

80 years ago, not long after the Demon God War ended, she was just an innocent little girl.

She was playing by the river, and as if destined, this mysterious statue floated in the rushing river.

The curious little girl picked up the statue.

She saw the gods attached to the statue...

How majestic, peaceful, kind, and holy——

The little girl couldn't help but feel love and awe for Him.

That day, she received a revelation from "God".

For more than 80 years, she has always believed in a benevolent God.

God will definitely bless them.

God will definitely give the confused believers the true direction.

She was convinced.

The priest knelt on the ground, placed the statue of the god on his forehead, and closed his eyes.

An obscure incantation came out of her mouth.

"God bless, God bless, God, please guide the direction for our people..."

The White Scale clan looked at the priest kneeling on the ground silently with strange expressions.

The priest stopped chanting the incantation and ordered the tribesmen:

"You also kneel down and pray with me to the Lord God."

"Priest Mother-in-Law...will the gods really bless us?"

Some tribesmen asked with strange expressions.

They didn't quite believe there was any god attached to this strange statue.

If there really is a god on the statue.

Why has it never appeared once in all these years?

The priest mother-in-law asked them to kneel down and pray. Is this really useful?

Faced with the tribe’s doubts, the priest’s mother-in-law became angry, and she yelled crazily:

"What do you mean, are you doubting God!?"

The people of the White Scale tribe had never seen such an angry side of the priest mother-in-law, and they were all frightened.

The tribesman who just raised the question quickly waved his hands and denied it.

"No... not mother-in-law, I don't doubt God."

The priest's mother-in-law snorted coldly, turned her head away, and pressed her forehead against the statue again.

She closed her eyes and said:

"Don't doubt God. God is loving. As long as we pray sincerely, God will definitely respond to our requests."

The priest stretched out his hand and patted the ground gently.

"Kneel down and let's pray to God together."

The White Scale clan members looked at each other in confusion.

Someone sighed:

"That's all, let's treat a dead horse as a live doctor."

His legs were slightly apart and he was about to kneel down.

The lizardmen around him were led by him to kneel down.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from the grass.

"Get up, don't kneel!"

The White Scale clan members were frightened out of their wits by this loud roar.

They thought it was the Red Fang tribe that was chasing after them.

It wasn't until two shadows jumped out of the grass that their beating hearts calmed down a little.

These two people were naturally Gollum, who had just escaped death from the Red Fang tribe, and the lizard man child who used the slingshot.

The tribesmen made sounds of surprise.

"Gulu, Rorschach, are you okay? That's great! Everyone is worried about you."

"I'm fine." Guru waved his hand and came to the priest's mother-in-law.

"Grandma Leah," Gollum said.

The priest named "Lea" nodded slightly and narrowed her eyes.

"Gulu, you are okay, very good."

She patted the wet ground again.

"Now that you are back, please join us in praying to the gods."

Gollum's expression stiffened.

He didn't want to kneel.

Leah shook her head in disappointment.

"Well, since you don't want to, forget it, just watch from the side. Everyone, let's kneel down in the direction of God!"

After saying that, Liya will hold up the statue again.

A big hand grasped Leah's wrist, preventing her from lifting the statue.

Liya said hurriedly:

"Gulu...what are you doing? God will blame us if you do this!"

Gollum's eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"There is no God at all!"

Grandma Liya's eyes trembled crazily, and she slapped Guru on the face.

With a crisp sound of "pop", the mother-in-law said coldly:

"Stop making such rebellious remarks. Do you want the gods to disappoint our people?"

Gollum lowered his head and murmured lowly:

"Grandma Liya..."

"Just watch and pray."

Leah no longer responded to Gollum, and once again held up the strange little statue in her hands devoutly.

She prepared to pray again.

Seeing that Leah was so stubborn, Gollum's anger had already accumulated to the extreme.

"God... you always talk about God, where was God when we were bullied by Chiya? Where was God when we were driven out of our home?"

"Why is our family different from normal lizard people? Why are we so strange? Is it the fault of that so-called god?"

"Even if there is a god, the one who caused our White Scale clan to suffer such misfortune is also an evil god!"

Guru roared angrily and slapped the statue in the priest's hand into the mud.

The statue rolled down a few times on the muddy ground on the river bank and fell into the river.

"Do not!!!!!"

Lea screamed wildly, rolled herself covered in mud and jumped into the river desperately, groping for the lost statue.

Gollum was stunned. He did not expect that Leah's faith in God had reached a level of fanaticism that transcended the fear of death.

"It's harmful—! Gollum, look at what good things you have done. Even if Granny Leia is a little strange, as a junior, shouldn't you speak to her in a gentle tone?"

While the White Scale tribesmen blamed Gulu, they hurriedly jumped into the river and tried their best to search and rescue Granny Liya.
