An Infinite Journey From the Sea of ​​Stones

"It's just how do we use the local human resources?" ZERO said softly

With his style of acting as a former gangster boss, he would naturally overwhelm him directly and arbitrarily. A little detour to think about business expenses is just a matter of putting on a white face and a red face.

"The people on the empty island are different from those above the sea, they are all believers." Yunjuan smiled

"Believers? Do they believe in any gods?"

"Yes, they believe in gods, and the best part is that the gods they believe in don't even have names." Yun Juan smiled more happily.

"Believers are the most difficult people to deal with, but they are also the easiest people to deal with, and the most beautiful thing is that fanatics are a huge asset to me."

He looked towards the shrine of the blue bird, looked at the breeze gathered above the shrine, and played with the taste

"You say so, Your Majesty Janna?"

31. Goddess Janna

From the end of the Runeterra quest, Cloudscroll also took a local 'native'

Janna the Storm's Wrath

She is a genuine ancient god in Runeterra. In the long time when Zaun was not ruled by Shurima, he was the god worshiped by the local people of Zaun and the sailors who sailed on the sea.

Yes, she is an out-and-out god of faith, not those god warriors, not those giant gods, but a god born from people's beliefs, powerful from worship, and decayed from being forgotten.

Among the countless legends and stories that make up her existence, Janna is the Goddess of Storms, the Goddess of Navigation, the Goddess of Luck, and the Goddess of the Sea. She is a god worshiped and prayed by all sailors sailing on the sea.

It is said that in its heyday, Janna could easily set off storms, change the weather, bless the harvest, stir up storms, and set off tsunamis.

But that's just a legend. In the Runeterra of the era that Yun Juan visited, Janna's legend was even lost, until the end, only children's bedtime stories remained, and in those stories , she is just a carefree blue bird flying across the strait.

Janna's life is extremely long. Since she was born from the boundless void and people's worship, she has experienced two declines and rises.

The first decline was when Shurima ruled Zaun. At that time, Shurima forbade sailors to believe in the goddess of wind who protected them, forcing them to believe in powerful god warriors.

Thus, Janna ushered in her first path of extinction due to the decline of her faith.

It's just that with the disasters caused by the Eagle King and the rebels, the division and destruction of Shurima finally made Zaun independent, so Janna's faith was once again held up by the sailors.

It’s just that Janna’s strength at that time was not as good as before, and in the legends, her image was no longer the ruthless and powerful incarnation of the sea, but a blue bird, a blue bird that blesses sailors’ peace at sea. Sailing, the wind spirits who bless their sails with good weather.

However, she still inevitably ushered in her second decline.

With the construction of the Sun Gate and the development of the Golden Seaway, people have gradually forgotten the beliefs and legends of the Wind Spirit.Sailors no longer wear the blue bird pendant on their chests, but instead believe more in their science.

Janna's power and presence have dwindled and she's practically gone, but even so, she still possesses unrivaled power!

On the day when the bomb turned Zaan into two cities, it was Janna who used the few remaining divine powers to protect the suffering people in the lower city from being swallowed up by tsunamis and earthquakes. Because of this, Zaan at that time Even later, some people still believe in Janna.

But shallow faith can only maintain Janna's vague existence until the arrival of Yunjuan, triggering the second crisis of the two cities.

By then Janna was too weak to save her people.

So she asked Yunjuan to take action.

She regards Yunjuan as her own kind, because in fact, Yunjuan's Ksitigarbha's Eye does come from the structure of faith.

Yunjuan hadn't intended to help at first, but Janna made a condition that Yunjuan couldn't refuse—that was herself.

Janna was willing to be 'swallowed' by the cloud in exchange for him helping Piltover escape the fate of being destroyed by the tsunami.

Yunjuan agreed to her. Anyway, to him, it was just pouring out the excess magic power in his body.

But Yunjuan did not 'swallow' Janna, but brought her godhead to the world of One Piece.

Perhaps something like godhead is also judged as an item.

Speaking of it, there is such a thing as a godhead, but it feels very high-end and powerful, but this thing is obviously not as powerful as the godhead in the world of fantasy novels.

He's really just a pure 'qualification'

The people or things that are believed, worshiped, sung, and remembered, and the power to turn these beliefs into entities by chance and coincidence, will have such a special godhead.

Yunjuan once became the Ksitigarbha, the incarnation of hundreds of millions or even billions of people begging for mercy.

Although it was only for a moment, he can be regarded as a man who has been a god.

Although he cut off that link, such a 'godhead' still exists in his soul, and as long as the conditions are right, he can definitely embark on a similar path.

Naturally, this was one of the main reasons for bringing Janna along, and Yunjuan was also very curious about whether this path could continue.

"Those children shouldn't have died there..."

A sorrowful sigh sounded with a cold voice, and above the shrine of the blue bird, the clouds and mist slowly condensed the figure of Janna, sad and noble.

With the appearance of Janna, the soldiers of the Sound Nest who were busy all around showed expressions of reverence, and some exaggeratedly even chose to kneel down.

This is undoubtedly Yun Juannong's tricks. As a "charge" for Janna, he tampered with the thinking and memory of these people, and at the same time tampered with their beliefs.

It turns out that even man-made beliefs can still 'recharge' a deity like Janna.

After all, belief is nothing but belief. From a biological point of view, it is nothing more than an illusion produced by brain cells in the hormones secreted by brain thinking. From a ideological point of view, thoughts that have been tampered with are also thoughts.

"Do you still care about people who die at sea? You should have encountered many pirates who prayed to you at the same time and died together at sea." Yunjuan laughed.

Are those marines innocent?What a joke, the guy who came to kill him and robbed him of his things and planned to kidnap him to be someone else's high-tech slave talked about justice.

There will always be people who point to the pirates who burned, killed and looted, and then point to the navy opposite them and say that they are just.

At least there is no justice when this group of navy will go after those who have not committed a crime but just go to sea because they have not submitted an application, and define them as pirates.

If you really want to say, they are nothing more than the army under the hands of the biggest warlord chieftain on this divided sea.

"How is it, how does it feel to come to the new world?"

"This world...is very big and empty." Janna was silent for a moment, stretched out her hand to circle the breeze, and said softly

"I don't feel any magic, but this world is huge. There are also many strange things, but those beliefs and emotions lack a place to hold them..."

"I didn't ask you this, what I asked was, can you return to your former ability in this world?" Yunjuan interrupted Janna, and said calmly

She was silent for a moment, then nodded as a confirmation response.

Although this empty world can hardly feel the magic power dissipating in the atmosphere, but as a god of faith, she does not rely on magic power to eat.

Although she tried to use her divine power to leverage magic to respond to the expectations of believers as much as possible at the lowest cost when her faith was weak, but as long as she has enough faith, she doesn't have to do such thankless things at all!

"That's good, get ready, you will soon welcome a group of very devout believers, with them as the center, your teachings and apocalypse will spread across the sea at an extremely fast speed." Yun Juan faintly road

"You will return to your prime, Sea Goddess, Storm Lady, Blue Bird, and Wind Elf Janna."

"...I'm just Janna, those so-called titles are just imposed on me by humans." Janna seemed aggrieved and said softly

Yunjuan didn't speak, but just waved off the blue bird pendant to make Janna's figure disappear. ZERO looked at this scene, hesitated for a while, and said softly

"I think you seem to be being too mean to Ms. Janna..."

ZERO doesn't worship Janna, no matter how much she looks like a god, ZERO, who has seen Yunjuan make her "from scratch", can't have the heart of faith in such a god.

But even without faith, ZERO can't hate Janna, not only him, it seems that people living on this sea will have an unstoppable intimacy and love when facing Janna.

"I can't even tell if the Janna standing in front of me is still the same as the previous moment."

Yunjuan didn't answer ZERO's question directly, but just said this sentence in an unexpected way, then looked at ZERO and said softly

"I've sent Guli Chali to go to Angel Island to catch a few natives. Go and meet them. Remember, don't do anything, don't do anything too rough, and the most important thing is, don't kill people randomly, you know?"

ZERO bowed and retreated. He could see that Yunjuan didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he led people away.

Looking at Janna's shrine, Yunjuan sighed faintly.

Rather than saying that he hates Janna, it is better to say that he hates the 'nature' behind Janna, the former self who was kidnapped by other people's thoughts and beliefs.

The so-called belief in gods, the gods produced by the thoughts of believers, the collection of human wishes, he once became such a thing for a moment.

It was because of this that he hated it so much, even if it was just for a moment, Yunjuan never wanted to experience that feeling of not being able to dominate his own thoughts and control his own thoughts.

Even if he is in the worst state now, he will not be reduced to being dominated by so many other people's thinking, it is nothing more than being affected by his own extreme emotions, but seeing Janna's appearance, recalling the feeling of that moment Yunjuan is not only disgusting , and even have a weird impulse...

But no matter what, if the price of becoming a god is to become a slave to the group, then such a god, he would not do it to death!

32. Angel of the sky

Although Sky Island is the name of this huge Yunshan Continent, they are indeed not a whole. Sky Island has many small islands. It is not so much a continent as it is an island group.

Among them, all the residents of Yunshan are gathered. In fact, the two parts of the empty island are only Angel Island and Apadoya, the island of gods.

The people living on these two islands are the Angels and the Sandias.

Among them, the angel race, that is, those races with small white wings on their backs, are the aborigines of Sky Island, and the Sandia people are the 'outsiders' who were forcibly sent here after Apadoya was washed up on the White Sea.

But this is not to the outsider and the natives what the Mayflower's British prisoners were to the Indians.

In fact, it is even completely the opposite, because the part of the "infinite land" in the mythology worshiped by the angels makes these sky islanders regard Apadoya, which was washed up into the sky, as the land of gods, so they want to completely occupy it .

Thus, a protracted war broke out.

The Shandians and the Sky Islanders, who were inexplicably taken to the Sky Island and could not return home, were driven out of their homes by this group of winged psychopaths. The war has lasted for 400 years, and the two sides are no longer big. Remember your own origins.

Even the people of Sky Island and the Sandiya people started the national integration, fighting and combining.

But what is interesting is that part of the Sandia people are actually of the same race as the Sky Islanders, and they also have wings. It is said that their ancestors once descended from the "infinite land", while some stayed on Sky Island, and some went to Qinghai below. .

In the end the story turned into a farcical farce.

Until now, the living customs of the Sky Islanders and the Sandia people who stayed on the Sky Island have begun to confuse, and the most important of them is the intention of 'God'.

The gods that Sky Islanders believe in are not idols above the shrines in the true sense, but the final victors after tribal wars.

Rather than being a god, it is more like a king or a religious leader.

The previous 'god' was Gan Fore, and this one is Enel. The funny thing is that neither of these two empty island gods has wings.

Although in fact the wings of the Sky Islanders are more like decorations than body limbs that can fly, it is not difficult to see from this that the 400-year-old battle has become a bad debt.

Yunjuan chose Sky Island as his new base, not only because of its concealment and safety, but more importantly, this group of Sky Island people are really suitable believers.

Closed life, ancient ideas, you don't know whether to call them ignorant or pious.For the actual rulers, they choose to call each other "God", which is both piety and unbelief.

But such a person is the most suitable to become a believer.

What if they really had a god, one to be called upon, one to answer their call, one to bestow their boons?

Their original unbelief will instantly develop into fanatical piety, and they will become the most fanatical believers in a very short period of time!

The population of Sky Island is not large, but there are still tens of thousands of people. This number of people is enough to meet Yunjuan's population needs in the early stage, and their fanatical beliefs can also allow the declining Janna to recover her divine power in a very short time .

It couldn't be more suitable to regard this place as a base for accumulating strength and developing.

As for the only problem, Enel, a character you don't know whether he is weak or strong - after all, Sand Crocodile has been bound to the emperor's deputy characters including Barrett after the top battle, and his value has risen. The villain that Luffy defeated was not necessarily weak.

But for Yunjuan, it shouldn't be a big problem to solve Enilu, but the point is not how to defeat him, but how to make him exit as a defeated 'Evil God'.

Yes, if it's just to replace a ruler, then you only need to defeat Enel.

But if you want to truly create a god, then you can't just knock down Enilo.

Yes, Yunjuan needs a god, but also an 'angel'.

"You know that the wings on your back can't give you the ability to fly into the sky, but you still choose to carry them on your back. Tell me, have you always longed for 'flying' in your heart?"

Yunjuan looked at the Sky Islanders of the Angel Race captured by Guli Chali and the others, and asked with a light smile

"What if I could really make you fly? Would you all be willing to worship me?"

"People from Qinghai, you will die under the wrath of God's thunder!!!!" A Sky Islander struggled angrily.

Yunjuan didn't care about the behavior of such believers. Rather, the more devout these guys behaved, the more satisfied he was.

"So what about you? Girl, tell me, do you want to fly?"

Yunjuan found the next Sky Islander, and to his surprise, this was actually a character who had appeared in the "plot".

Conis's lips trembled slightly, and her beautiful and gentle face was full of bewilderment and fear. In fact, she was still in a daze until now.

Today she was just sitting on the Angel Beach and playing the harp as usual, but a man in a fur coat suddenly appeared and took her away without any explanation!
