Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Food Emergency
There is only one continent in the Gaia World, and that is the Gaia Continent. The landscape of the Gaia Continent is high in the middle and low on both sides. At present, Gaia is still in a primitive society. Only the centre is populated, and these people; are generally concentrated in the Eden Plain in the middle of which is rich in resources.
The Eden Plain is a marvellous place like the fairylands portrayed in fantasies. And the land is also very rich, particularly the forest resources here are abundant as most forest plants are often fruit trees.
This kind of fruit tree does not exist on the earth, as it is a particular of Gaia World. It produces fruit all year round. The yield is high. Humans do not need to work and nurture the fields. As they only need to reach out and pick the fruit from the trees to survive.
But no matter how many fruits, there are not as many fruits as there are mouths to feed. At the beginning of humanity, the products on the Eden Plain were more than enough to feed the entire human race. But with the increase in the number of human beings, the number of fruits is not enough. The population that has increased rapidly has halted growing because of this circumstance.
To compete for insufficient food, human beings split up into dozens of groups, large and small, fighting against each other endlessly. Under such situations, the feeble and lesser; Are ruthlessly eradicated. Only the strong can survive to pass on their genes.
At this moment, in the outer area of the Eden Plain, an assault is going on.
A group of humans dressed in animal leather expedient kilts and some donning simple leaf outfits are fighting. They are not so much fighting as they are butchering. And it is the kind of one-sided slaughter.
More than one hundred and fifty strong men slaughtered fifty to sixty weak women and infants. All the men and boys were killed during the defences, leaving their homes to beseeching eyes.
Humans in the world have developed to the present after thousand years. And the division of labour has initially begun to be divided. Men are responsible for hunting to wars. And women are responsible for plucking fruits and makings tools.
But their prey is not animals and plants, but the same kind as themselves, Manhunting.
The reason for this situation is that animals have less flesh and are hard to find plentiful. To even sustain themself, hunting animals is also a risky behaviour. And often not worth the losses. But hunting of the same kind is different. When the men have been dealt with. What will remain are the women and kids, the first to harvest as they become lamb to the slaughtered.
Moreover, every human tribe has planted a large number of fruit trees. Defeating a tribe, not only do they get flesh, but also the land full of fruits. It is a very cost-effective business, at least more cost-effective than hunting animals.
Therefore, the war is barbaric, especially for those who are weak. Once the formidable men in the tribe die, their wives and the youth will become their foes food, including children.
This system of living is sickening and will make any sane person nauseous to the core. Damon was furious, yet he needed to learn more about what has caused such a catastrophe.
Looking at it from a different perspective, this is also an alternative path for evolution. There is no right or wrong in the world; Because these concepts are made by man. And the human of Gaia is doing this to survive, as they know no better way.
When a food crisis occurs, large tribes will take the initiative to attack nearby shaky tribes, which is a widespread phenomenon. In this mode of war, the population on the Eden Plain has not increased for a hundred years and has reached a steady value.
"Kill them all. This piece of forest is now ours, and remember boys, clean slashes. We cannot waste meat." Some large and vicious-looking fellow said while licking his lips at the little boys wrapped by threads.
"Don't let any livestock get away." He yelled.
The people of larger tribes carried out a brutal massacre of the people of these minor tribes. Whether it was an old folk, child or woman, they were all slaughtered to death.
Soon, the people of this small tribe were dead and taken away. The warriors of this barbaric tribe raised their weapons and cheered in unison.
Most of their weapons are sharp stone tools, and a few of them are bulky iron tools. Although smelting technology does not exist, they already know that ores can make tools of quality.
With the places ravaged. The victor proudly hauled the corpse back to their tribal warehouse and then plucked all the fruits and took them away. Then they destroyed all the structures with what they could use.
These measures are taken. To impede the survivors of the tribe from using this camp to continue to hide and possibly cause them unwanted trouble.
With the victor left. Damon appeared and looked at everything in front of him and sighed in contempt. These people were killed, but he did not move a finger. ''None of them is innocents, soon they too would have gone to war with another tribe, if not for their demised.'' Damon's eyebrows drop together and his eyes that were once so full of life have turn into a deep glare, as his lips narrowed.
This kind of hunt is everywhere on the Eden Plain. Wars between tribes with other tribes, as well as one and one fight to the death. A massacre of the same kind is commonplace as human bones are in almost every corner.
If he wants to reverse all of this, Damon cannot rely on brute force. They must rely on themselves and walk on a path they carve using their strength. ''To spark the flame of Civilization.''
In the beginning, when Damon learned that the people on the Eden Plain slaughtered their kind as food, he felt very queasy and sick and wanted to stop it.
But after seeing it for a long time, he tries to view it with reasoning.
Maybe people are not to blame. There is only so much food. What can they eat if not one another? They cannot move out of Eden Plain. Because the west is an endless mountain range and in the east is overrun by various dangerous animal groups. Blocked, they can not defeat the herd or move over the mountain and naturally, they cannot leave here and go to the outside world.
When Damon placed them on this plain, it was because of the rich resources. But he did not expect that because of the surrounding terrain, it would leave them isolated. Hindering humanity future.
Therefore, Damon is also kind of responsible for all this happening.
"Oka Ode zu? (What are you?)"
A human voice suddenly came from nearby. A surviving tribular human appeared in front of Damon. He looked at Damon, who was wearing strange clothes and hovering above the ground. His eyes were full of fright.
Because of the war. There was blood everyplace on the ground, bloody with Humans parts. Damon was afraid of staining his clothes, so he floated above.
People in every tribe worshipped the God of Creation, but the boy could not recognize him. But how could he? They know him only in tales.
"Boy, I am the one who created you and have come to guide your path." Damon swirled down with a smile on his face.
Of course, he used the Origin to wrap himself up, surrounded by Misty light, so that Auther could only see his image vaguely.
"The one who created us?" Author startled. He knelt on the ground and put down his wooden stick "Great God, are you here to punish the people of the Alan tribe? They mercilessly attacked us and killed my father and slaughtered everyone in our tribe."
Damon responded in the human language of these people. Using Authority he can learn everything that has come to be or passed.
"Auther, I cannot do this, regardless of your misgivings.'' Damon paused, he lowered his tone and said more softly, "Alan tribe or not. I will not intervene for your revenge. " Damon shook his head, but his heartfelt differently.
"Why would you let your creation surfer, you watched us get killed. You did nothing to stop it." Auther cried out, veins rising from his neck, his face red as if he were choking. Grief had taken over God or Man shalt hold his tongue back.
"Simple. You have to solve all this by yourself, life is a cycle Auther what comes around goes around." Damon said, "But my existence is not part of this cycle. Even a single word from me can cause it to crumble. The reason we meet today is that I have grown weary of this endless killing, I do not enjoy the death of innocent." His voice solemn.
"I understand. Forgive me, we humans sometimes lose control, unlike you God." Auther breathe all the anger out, his face was less red. He wondered and ask ''But even if one can stop this war, the food problem will not go away.''
"Boy, food is everywhere," Damon answered, as he believed he had chosen the right person. This Auther is quite worthy. In the intellectual domain.
"Where?" Auther became more and more puzzled. For him, a primitive person. Damon words were too fathomless, but he understood the meaning but not the message.
"Follow me." Damon grabbed Auther, with his energy.
Relying on the Authority of the World, Damon took Auther into the sky.
Auther flew into the sky, watching the things on the ground keep getting smaller. He felt astonishing. Can a man fly?
"Do not be afraid. With me here falling is the least of your problem" Damon said softly. In his soothing voice, Auther looked bellow curiously.
Unknowingly, they came to the centre of the Eden Plain, where the fruits are the most abundant and the tribe that occupies is considered the greatest. With more than five thousand souls.
"You see, this is the most powerful tribe, but this tribe has not developed for hundreds of years. They were like this a hundred years ago and are still like this now. In a few more years, this tribe will split. Then they will become rivals and continue to kill each other." Damon explained, switching from imposing to earnest.
"If your tribe did not perish, after it grows to a certain extent, it will split sooner rather than later. Because harvesting alone cannot meet your food needs."
"Then how could we not split?" Auther asked, unsure. His father thought him how to fight not to think outside what is known but now new things were being fed to his brain, causing him to be somewhat lost.
"That requires order and a strong core." His voice was that of a smiling man, not the dignified God moments ago.
"Order, core?" Auther seemed to understand.
"Order is, rules, rules are. Just like the sun always rises during the day and sets at night. Just like there ever four seasons in a year. The core is the foundation, the bond that holds the rule together." Damon said, but Auther did not fully understand. After flying around the Eden Plain for days. Watching the world through bird eyes view. Village after village, seeing endless killing and slaughters, Auther finally understood Damon's words.
Then, Damon took Auther to the east of the Eden plain, where many beasts gathered. It is precisely because of the blockage of the beasts that humans have lived in the Eden plain for hundreds of years. And cannot take a step outside.
"You see, this is a herd of beasts and an obstacle that prevents you from leaving. If humans want to continue to develop, they must defeat them." Damon said.
"But the beast is so strong, with sharp claws, sharp teeth, and huge body and amounts in which is impossible to count. Even the most powerful warrior will be the one to die in a hunt. How can we hope to defeat them?" Auther trembles in terror, his heartbeats could be felt by his ears.
"Child, humans are the most powerful creatures. I have created. Although they do not have sharp claws, they have quick and nimble hands, no huge bodies, but extraordinary brains. If you want to defeat wild beasts, you must make good use of them. For these two points, they must learn to make tools and importantly, learn to create and use flames." Damon said, pointing his finger towards Auther.
"Tools? Flames?" He smiles shyly. His brain bloated by these new phrases.
