His body was turned over, and after a short check, Bai Lixin felt his body being lifted lightly.

"Hey, Dijia, who is this child?"

An old voice came from a short distance away, and Bai Lixin heard a bland reply next to his ears, "A fainted human. He is still breathing. Have you seen this man before, Elder?"

The sound of footsteps came over. The older man looked at Bai Lixin and shook his head, "No, he is probably from the Gegelong tribe. I heard that the Gegelong tribe not far from us was attacked by beasts and many people who did not escape in time were killed by the sharp claws and steel teeth. This man probably escaped from there."

"There is an empty house next to yours, Dijia. Take this poor child there to rest."

"Yes, Elder."

His body was shifted again, and Bai Lixin was carried on Dijia's shoulders as he walked off towards the house.

Dijia seemed very used to life here; it had only been a day since he had disappeared from San Tuo Mountain, but his reputation was already high. Many people greeted Dijia affectionately along the way. Some women even offered him freshly picked melons and fruits.

Dijia excused himself one by one and finally returned to the house with Bai Lixin on his shoulder.

He pushed the door open, put Bai Lixin on the bed made of hay, and went out.

The room was empty, and Bai Lixin carefully took it in.

The dwellings of the gods were magnificent, and all the precious things under the sun were gathered in the temple, while the houses of the humans were simple and fragile.

Once the beasts launch a fierce attack, such a fragile thatched house would not be able to withstand the ferocious beasts. Humans would then be like ants on the ground, fleeing in all directions to be hunted by the beasts.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the room, getting closer and closer.

Bai Lixin quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious again.

The footsteps were soft and familiar, giving Bai Lixin an inexplicable sense of ease.

The footsteps came and stopped only when they reached his side.

A warm hand covered his forehead for a moment as if to make sure he did not have a fever, and then left his forehead.

Immediately afterwards, the corner of Bai Lixin's lips cooled, and a refreshing sweetness slid down his slightly open lips and into his throat. Bai Lixin couldn't help but swallow a little. Dijia delivered the water slowly, and when he saw that the man could still drink, he gave a few more sips. He only stopped when he had delivered a glass of water to Bai Lixin.

Dijia then draped the animal fur he had brought from his room over Bai Lixin's body to keep him warm before leaving the room again.

Bai Lixin opened his eyes again after hearing that the sound of footsteps had gone. He reached out to caress the soft animal skin.

It must be fox fur. It felt very comfortable to the touch.

Bai Lixin recalled all of Dijia's actions just now and smiled. Dijia was still Dijia. The responsibility in his bones was deeply rooted, even though he had just been born.

He can take such good care of a stranger who had fainted to the ground. No wonder Chaos dared to entrust the future of the universe into Dijia's hands.

The next day, Dijia came into the room again.

He found Bai Lixin awake and sitting on the edge of the bed, "Did you save me?"

Bai Lixin looked at Dijia and said with emotion, "My people...my people were all taken..... to the beasts."
