Humans have a desire to control themselves. In the early days, people discovered that natural phenomena such as wind and rain were not controlled by them, so "God" appeared. People attributed everything that was not under their control to a "God" who was controlling all of this, and the totem also came from this.

Anthropologists call it "totem worship". In the early days, totem was "god", which could control everything. Regardless of wind or rain, this "god" was all in charge, an almighty god.

In ancient times, people prayed for good weather and peace in the real world by worshiping the "God" and praying for good weather and tribe peace. In fact, their original intention was to control these uncontrollable factors through monetization control of the "God" to achieve the inner desire to control everything.

Some anthropologists with two swords will say that the appearance of totem is because of the unknown, so what is unknown? The unknown is actually beyond control.

Totem is very important to human history, and it is not too much to pay attention to it. Some anthropologists even call the emergence of totem "the second great invention after fire."

The reason for saying this is that the totem completely unifies the people of the entire tribe, and all the people of the entire tribe live for a "faith".

Out of instinct, the ancients knew that to survive, they had to unite, but there was no need to form a super tribe of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands. A group of more than tens of thousands of people was the most cost-effective lifestyle, and there was no need to form a large tribe at all.

But humans form huge tribes, and lions and wolves do not have such large tribes. Why?

It is because humans have totems.

The existence of totem has given people in the entire tribe a belief. In fact, we can completely regard to totem as money in modern society, so that we can understand it well.

What is money?

Isn’t money just a piece of paper that everyone recognizes!

What is totem?

Totem is a painting or object recognized by the entire tribe.

Modern people form countless groups, and everyone works together and works. In fact, the most basic motivation is for money. Whether you are for the sake of profit or for survival, the most core point is for "money". We started wars for money. The earlier colonial expansion, the current financial wars, and the national game.

"As long as I can control the issuance of a country's currency, I don't care who makes the law." Rothschild's words are very telling.

What we call entrepreneurship, innovation, cooperation, and promoting social development is actually an essential driving force that everyone agrees with in modern times.

Similarly, for the ancients, totem was their "money". The entire tribe united and fought for this "money", and eventually formed a huge tribe, a nation, and finally a country.

This is what the totem does.

In ancient times, when people encountered things they didn't know, it would be reduced to "God" at work.

Chen Kan knocked twelve people out at one time, and these people thought they were "gods" appearing, so they had a series of actions that followed.

The next day, these people actually went to the place where the twelve people fainted and started worshiping, but there was no tribute, just lit a pile of huge bonfires, and everyone danced around the bonfire.

Seeing this scene, Chen Kan thought of a way to integrate into this world, which is to "pretend to be a ghost". With Chen Kan's current strength, it is easy to do this.

The bonfire that was originally burning began to rise under Chen Kan's control. A ball of fire appeared in the air. Everyone was stunned to watch the scene. The elder reacted first, stopped dancing and fell to his knees on the ground, and repeatedly said something Chen Kan couldn't understand. Under the leadership of the elder, the others also knelt down quickly.

Then the fireball slowly turned into a person's outline in the air, just like Indra hiding in the mysterious ice, and Chen Kan was hiding in the flames.

You can vaguely see a person hiding in it. Seeing this scene, the expressions on these people's faces became even more pious. Everyone was lying on the ground and did not dare to look up.

Chen Kan waved his hand and a powerful force helped them all up. If they couldn't see Chen Kan's performance, what's the point!

All eighty people were helped up by Chen Kan's soft power. They didn't understand what martial arts were, and they were shocked by Chen Kan's hand. They were even more convinced that the one in front of them was a "god". Since the "god" helped them up, they did not dare to kneel down and looked at the fire man in the air with wide eyes.

The bonfire burned rapidly, and the fire seemed to be guided by some guidance to enter the fire man. As the fire continued to merge, a person appeared in the air, starting from his feet, slowly extending upward until the whole person appeared.

All of this seemed to them as miracles, and this young man was a "god", just like a manifestation in religion, and then everything became very simple, and Chen Kan became the priest of this tribe without any pressure.

It took Chen Kan two days to learn their words. It was very simple, and his vocabulary was very scarce. The reason why he spent two days was because there were some words that needed to be understood. Whether such words could be understood depends not only on Chen Kan's learning ability, but also on the professor's expression ability.

The totem of this tribe is a bird, and Chen Kan did not change their totem, because the bird is not only the totem of their tribe, but also the totem of some surrounding tribes. This is like a belief that connects the surrounding tribes together.

Chen Kan was also grateful. Chen Kan realized afterwards that because the biggest characteristic of birds is that they could fly, Chen Kan was floating in the air when he pretended to be a ghost that day, so they recognized Chen Kan. That day, they were not surprised that Chen Kan controlled the fire, but that Chen Kan could fly, so Chen Kan could easily become a priest.

The position of priests is generally only available in large tribes. Generally, small tribes like this with a hundred people do not have priests. Some tribes with a thousand people do not necessarily have priests. Of course, there are exceptions. As long as someone can get the recognition of everyone in the entire tribe, this person can become a priest.

Because in small tribes, every labor force is very important, and more importantly, there is no inheritance of knowledge in small tribes, because small tribes generally do not exist for a long time, at most, only a few decades. If not long, it means there is no inheritance of knowledge. In this era, priests represent educated people, who must understand the art of making a difference and know how to calculate.
