Gong Kong shared that these divine beings all sported a mystical third eye, a gateway to extraordinary powers. They could ride clouds, and gracefully navigate the skies aboard the majestic "Vimana." The Celestial Gods, distinguished by the hues of their third eye, belonged to various tribes.
In the tales of old, it was whispered that the Celestial Gods crafted the very fabric of Mu Continent's populace. The Yellow Tribe and Black Tribe Celestial Gods, in unison, breathed life into the Human Tribe. The Green Tribe, with their celestial touch, sculpted the Minotaur Tribe, the Giant Tribe, and the Demi-God Eagle Tribe. The Purple Tribe wove the essence of the Leopard Tribe, while the Gray Tribe fashioned the Centaur Tribe. The Brown Tribe bestowed existence upon the Dwarf Tribe, and the Blue Tribe shaped the Merfolk Tribe. Each created tribe held a sacred reverence for their unique Celestial God.
Upon hearing of these fantastical and mythical tribes, Su Ziqi and her companions were left utterly astounded. These were not just stories; they were glimpses into a world of wonders and marvels that had only existed in the realms of myth.
The revelation hit Professor Dong Yifeng the hardest; his head shook like a tambourine. Clearly, since arriving here, his entire worldview had crumbled. He muttered incessantly, "Oh, dear heavens, spare me. Is this some kind of Grimm fairy tale I'm living in?"
Zheng Ya, visibly shaken in her perspective, maintained a relatively composed demeanor. She reflected, "As per Gong Kong's earlier explanation, the Yellow Tribe Celestial God, a member of the creators' family, met his end at the hands of the Green Tribe Celestial God. It seems the Green Tribe Celestial God has now risen as the predominant force on the Mu Continent. This might be why the murals in the Martian lava cave venerate the Green Tribe Celestial God."
"Ya, are you suggesting that with the Green Tribe Celestial God emerging victorious and consolidating religious and ideological beliefs, followers of the Green Tribe Celestial God on Mu Continent embarked on interstellar migration some years later? A portion of them chose Mars, leaving behind that mural," she continued.
"Absolutely, that does make logical sense. Ziqi, why not inquire with Gong Kong if there are any other Celestial Gods still present on Mu Continent?"
Upon hearing Su Ziqi's question, Gong Kong responded, "Based on what I've heard from the older generation, the Yellow, Black, and Purple Tribe Celestial Gods all perished in the Celestial War. The Gray and Brown Tribe Celestial Gods were defeated and fled. As for the Blue Tribe Celestial God, there's been no news for quite some time, so they might have also perished. Currently, only the Green Tribe Celestial God remains on Mu Continent."
Su Ziqi suddenly recalled the incident with the Kuafu spacecraft being attacked upon entering Mu Continent and quickly asked, "Did the Green Tribe Celestial God construct a colossal, dazzling golden pyramid?"
Gong Kong, looking surprised, replied, "How do you know about that? For heaven's sake, please don't tell me you've been there. Even I've only heard whispers about a massive pyramid adorned in gold leaf in the capital city. Rumor has it to be the lair of the Green Tribes of Evil Gods."
Su Ziqi and her companions shared glances, affirming that the attack on the Kuafu spacecraft was undeniably orchestrated by the Green Tribe Celestial God.
Now, with the "Vimana" gracing the sky since yesterday, its sole purpose was evident: the Green Tribe Celestial God persistently sought their trail after the assault on the Kuafu spacecraft.
Unable to reach Yang Zhiyuan and the others in the morning, Su Ziqi's group felt a growing unease. They hastened their steps, departing Windwood Citadel alongside Gong Kong.
In the shrubbery beyond the city, Huamei deactivated the flying ship's ecological stealth mode, unveiling it instantly. Once everyone was seated, Huamei initiated the flying ship.
"Should we ascend directly to the treetops and soar in the sky? Or navigate through the forest?" Huamei inquired.
"For safety reasons, I suggest we stick to flying through the forest, just like yesterday, using the cover of the trees," Zheng Ya proposed.
Huamei skillfully navigated the flying ship, with Gong Kong providing guidance, heading eastward.
When they first arrived, they moved at a slower pace, following the camel-like creatures. Now, with Huamei unleashing the full power of the ship, it didn't take them long to reach the spot where the Kuafu spacecraft was parked—a peaceful clearing nestled between the forest and a sizable lake.
As they disembarked from the flying ship, Huamei, using the wrist-operated system, deactivated the ecological stealth mode of the Kuafu spacecraft. To their surprise, nothing materialized before them. The spacecraft had vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the imprints of its three landing gears on the ground.
Su Ziqi and her companions sank to the ground like deflated balloons, lost in contemplation.
The three women had decided the night before to leave the planet today and embark on a search for Earth. However, they never anticipated such a significant twist of events in just one night.
"It's gotta be that Green Tribes of Evil Gods, who swiped our spacecraft," Professor Dong Yifeng exclaimed in frustration. "Let's go find them and ask why they attacked us and took off with our spaceship."
"Professor Dong, you can try reasoning with them, but it feels like talking to a brick wall. I can't shake the suspicion that Gong Kong is up to something. What if this Gong Kong guy is lying, spinning some wild story about celestial gods, and hiding our spacecraft for who knows what reason," Wang Yue, always skeptical of Gong Kong's playful demeanor, voiced her doubts.
"This just doesn't add up. The Kuafu spacecraft is a colossal ship, weighing at least several tons. These locals wouldn't have the capacity to shake the spacecraft even a bit. Moreover, if it were them, why bring us here? If their motives were malicious, they could have captured us right in Windwood Citadel," Zheng Ya analyzed.
Although Gong Kong couldn't grasp the content of Su Ziqi and the others' conversation, at this moment, his typical playful and smiling demeanor had vanished. He seemed more agitated than Su Ziqi's group, nervously rubbing his hands as he interjected, "Goodness gracious, my dear celestial sisters, your transport must have been hijacked by the Green Tribe's 'Vimana.' The malevolent deity from the Green Tribe is undoubtedly still on the lookout for you. We can't stay here for a moment longer. We must leave immediately and seek refuge in our Windwood Citadel."
