Chapter 478 Wish us good luck
The First Age, the glorious mythical age.
Hundreds of thousands of years are too long. There are very few miraculous objects from the First Age in the world. No relics of that era can be found. There is no historical record. People can only experience that period from myths and legends. The hazy years.
It was an era of walking with gods, and people lived and worked in peace and contentment under the guidance of gods. Huge aeroboats soar in the sky, towering colossi run across the land, cities are lined with magnificent temples, and generations of people live a prosperous life.
Those pains, those fears, those despairs are not worth mentioning in the face of faith. The power of faith allows people to quickly get rid of the pain and fear in their hearts, and their hearts are filled with sunshine again. As for those things that have been shaken off... Who cares about it, let it stay in the depths of the dreamland forever.
The legend of Dreamland was already circulating in that era, but there was no pollution in the world. The filth is forever isolated from the world by the will of the gods. The weirdness and distortion of the dreamland can only linger outside the barrier of the world. People can greedily peek into this glorious world. People can peek into the mysterious laws and control the mysterious world. strength.
Everything was so beautiful, and such happiness lasted for tens of thousands of years, until one day, the long accumulation seemed to finally change something.
Disaster is coming.
The Four Horsemen of the Divine Apocalypse descended one after another, bringing destruction to the world.
There were no meteorites falling from the sky and hitting the XXX Bay, and there was no sudden drop in temperature and the global ice freeze, but the destruction was more desperate than that.
The boundary between the real world and the dreamland collapsed, the dreamland shone into reality, and the horror that only existed in the dreamland came to the entire world.
There are not many living beings left, civilization is almost destroyed, and the whole world has regressed back to the original disorder.
It is impossible to verify what happened in the end, but before the real world was completely swallowed up, the boundary between the real world and the fantasy dreamland was inexplicably rebuilt, and the fantasy dreamland was isolated again, and the price was the fall of the gods, and from then on we entered the barbaric and disorderly Second Age, the barbaric wilderness. era.
The world has returned to stability, but some things have been changed forever.
The weirdness hidden deep in the dreamland has stolen the power of the fallen gods and is wreaking havoc. Without the protection of the gods, the mysterious filth continues to seep through the boundaries into the real world, creating one disaster after another. , the barbaric disorder of the Second Age continued for hundreds of thousands of years, and people struggled in despair.
There is actually no clear dividing line between the Second Age and the Third Age. When civilization gradually returns to order in chaos, the end of the Second Age arrives.
How this era ended has always been a mystery. It is said that it was also eroded by the Dreamland, but for some reason the erosion was not serious and it only lasted a hundred years before returning to normal. The civilization that redeveloped in the darkness did not even end its era like the First Age. It quickly passed through the period of chaos, and only then came the Dark Age of the Third Age when order gradually began to recover.
People are trying to rebuild their faith in a daze, and even hurriedly offer their faith to those weird evil gods in the fantasy world who have stolen the divine power. This era is dark and bloody, with cultists running rampant, evil gods offering sacrifices everywhere, and wars going on. It's the darkest time before dawn.
After the Dark Age lasted for 30,000 years, the catastrophe came as scheduled at the end of the Third Age.
The same recipe, the same taste, the dream comes into reality.
The evil gods do not care about the life and death of believers. The number of newly recovered creatures has dropped sharply again, and people have once again fallen on the edge of despair.
On that day, people finally remembered the fear of being dominated by fantasy dreams, and finally remembered the gods that had been forgotten for more than 100,000 years. On that day, people once again chanted the name of the Lord, and their desperate cries awakened the gods sleeping in their memories.
Kaea, the goddess of earth, Nyx, the goddess of night, and Fiona, the goddess of suffering.
The three goddesses took the lead in walking out of their memories and returned to this devastated world. They used their little strength to temporarily support the precarious boundaries. As time went by, the other nine supremes woke up one after another, and the twelve gods joined forces to Finally withstood the counterattack of the Dreamland and opened the fourth era of the world, the Age of Dawn.
The beauty of the first era can no longer be restored, but the future is still worth looking forward to. Civilization can develop again, the prototype of the modern world order gradually appears, people have regained control of the world, and returned to the ancient continent from the Middle Earth continent. , and finally took control of the New World again. But just when everything was getting better, a catastrophe suddenly struck at the end of the Fourth Age.
The plague suddenly broke out, followed by a global war known as the First World War. More than ten years of drought created global famine, and various geological disasters brought hunger endless death.
"More than a thousand years ago, these four major disasters broke out in succession, awakening the deep-seated fears in the hearts of the world. Then the power of the dreamland surged again, the boundaries became more and more unstable, and mysterious phenomena became more and more common. This Everything is a typical sign of a catastrophe. According to the experience of the past three times, by this time, the arrival of the catastrophe can no longer be prevented."
"What is the result?"
"The result? It could not completely stop it. The chaos and destruction caused by the coming of the Dreamland caused the development of science and technology to go back for hundreds of years. The connection between the three continents was severed for four hundred years. The newly established world order almost collapsed. The world's population was sharply reduced. Less." Chairman Ole sighed, "But I have to admit that compared with the previous times, the situation of the fourth catastrophe was much milder. Not only did civilization not end, but it also did not decline seriously. It quickly It’s slowed down.”
Lynch shook his head: "I think disasters are always disasters, and death is still death. This kind of 'mildness' is not worth expecting anyway."
"No one would expect that, but you misunderstood One thing, there is an essential difference between the fourth time and the first three times," the chairman corrected seriously, "At the end of the fourth era, what really caused the consequences I mentioned and the regression of civilization were actually the four disasters themselves, relatively speaking. , the real consequences of fantasy being brought into reality are not serious, which is exactly the opposite of the situation of the first three catastrophes."
"Is this a change brought about by the protection of the gods?"
"Religious circles and mystical scholars generally think so, and our study of history has not yet found any basis to oppose this view." The chairman said very rigorously, "That's why I just said that theoretically the consequences will not be like The first era is so serious, as long as there is no problem with the gods, everything will be fine."
Hiss, this premise...
The chairman said it easily, but Lin Qi felt that it was a mouthful. He was feeling a little bitter. He always remembered the existence behind the Black Spider of the League of Shadows. He was one of the twelve main gods.
This made him realize the seriousness of the problem.
"What if something goes wrong with the gods?"
"..."
The chairman gave a subtle smile.
"I study history, not create history, so I can't give you the answer. I can only say...wish us good luck."
