Chapter 472: Mortal Myths and Stories of Gods
The supreme miracle sent down by the God of Radiance gave mortal civilization a chance to recuperate for 500 years.
In these 500 years, according to the classics of the Glow God Cult:
“There are no monsters.
There are no evil gods.
No intrusion of the void.
More gods descended on the continent of Prentice one after another, bestowing powerful and incredible magic on the mortals, allowing them to rebuild their homes.
At that time, there was more than just the Kingdom of Reyak on the continent.
The rapid prosperity of civilization has allowed human civilization to regain lands that were once occupied by monsters and descended by evil gods, and new countries were established one after another.
Although everyone still believes in the God of Glow.
But the importance of the Glow Cult has declined a lot.
Because the continent of Prentice has been peaceful for nearly 500 years, and short-lived humans have reproduced for dozens of generations, the story of the "Dark Ages" has become a mythical existence for mortals.
Without monsters and evil gods, the "purification" effect of the glow magic has no use.
His greatest role is those magical spells that have healing effects.
Until the end of the fifth New Era, the void invasion returned.
This time the void invasion is even more powerful, because even Navarre, the God of Glow, cannot completely stop the impact of many evil gods and monsters.
The Dawn Forest soon turned into the Dark Forest. Under the invasion of monsters, one mortal kingdom after another fell again.
When the super-level magical miracle of [Past Glory] was completed, mortal civilization did not repeat the mistakes of the dark ages. Under the protection of [Past Glory], it had room to breathe and survive. "
...
These stories, which are both myths and history, were recorded by "mortals", especially the mortal priests of the Glow God Cult.
From a god's perspective.
Novan knows much more than that.
For example, there is a huge and complex dark crypt system under the surface of the dark forest.
Noven speculated: When Navarre, the god of light, came, the monsters, evil gods and void were not completely driven away, they were just suppressed and suppressed.
The dark crypt is the biggest evidence.
After 500 years, problems occurred in the suppression, which led to the so-called "return of the void invasion."
In the history recorded by the Glow God Cult, dwarves and the gods they believe in are also mentioned.
The three gods of lava, casting, and wine.
Not long after the arrival of Navarre, the god of light, these three gods also came to the world and gave the dwarves their blessings.
With the gift of the three gods, the dwarves have devoted their faith to these three gods since then.
Novin hadn't realized anything was wrong before, because he had never seen dwarves before, and the believers' activities did not have any intersection with the Stone Castle dwarves.
Now, something is wrong with Nuowenpin.
There is obviously a time difference here.
Let’s talk about gifts.
The gift given by the God of Radiance when he comes is indiscriminate, and all civilized races in the entire Prentiss continent have received His protection.
In this case, the dwarves of the New Huili Era should believe in the Four Gods.
Why are no dwarves willing to offer their faith to the God of Radiance?
This is obviously not right.
Combined with the dwarf's stubbornness and stubbornness.
Noven had a guess.
"In the last era, that is, the gods that the dwarves believed in in the old era are related to the three dwarf gods in the new Huili era? For example, do the gods have the same authority?"
"For the dwarves, this is not called offering. New faith, but they have recovered the gods they once believed in?"
Noven threw the question to Risti.
"You are a god who has lived from the old times to the present."
"Who did the dwarves believe in in that era?" Resty answered the question with a question:< br>
"Do you want to hear the mortal version of the myth or the divine story version?"
Noven was stunned for a moment.
“Two versions?”
“Tell me about them.”
Resty said quietly:
“In the mortal myth version, there are three gods that dwarves believed in in the old days. Their priesthoods and names are respectively - Tros, the god of lava, and Gunny, the god of casting. Er, the god of wine, Diugisuo.”
“These three gods are considered to be the three most powerful dwarves in the myths passed down by the dwarves.”
"Their strength has reached the pinnacle of the mortal race. They are worshiped by all dwarves. They are eventually promoted to gods and share the power that once belonged to them to all dwarves."
Noven was shocked: "A mortal becomes a god?! Is it true or false?"
This question goes to the heart of the nature of divine right.
The so-called extraordinary power of mortals comes from the blessing of gods.
Gods exist based on the beliefs of mortals.
Where did the first gods come from?
If you follow the description of dwarf mythology, it means that the original gods were mortals who were powerful enough. They transformed other people's beliefs into divine power and had their own authority.
"False."
Resty simply denied this possibility.
“This is a mortal myth, just like the fictional stories told by bards. They are all made up by themselves.”
“The story of the gods is: the three gods of the dwarves are all Born from the Holy Platform of Creation”
“Not just a few of them”
"The gods of the old days agreed that all gods should have been originally born in the Holy Table of Creation, where they had their own core of divine power and anchored their own divine status."
"After leaving the holy altar of creation, the gods had their own consciousness and were aware of their own existence."
"No one knows whether the truth is true."
"Because including me All the gods of the past were already gods the moment they had consciousness."
"Of course"
"Theoretically speaking, if a mortal can possess a core of divine power that has not yet been anchored to the throne of God, then he should indeed have the possibility of becoming a god as a mortal. As long as the core is anchored, he can open up the Kingdom of God and sit on the throne of God, but this It’s just a theory.”
“How to do it specifically, let alone mortals, the gods themselves don’t know how they became gods. Anyway, everyone in the old days was born as a god.”< br>
“And in the era of the old times, there was no such substance as the core of divine power in the mortal world.”
“I don’t know why after I woke up from a deep sleep, the current world ...Well, the change is a bit big.”
When the Illusion Goddess Resty said this, her tone was a little awkward.
Nuowen couldn't help but laugh.
Because according to Resti, He didn’t even want to be a god in the old days and destroyed the core of his theocracy just to avoid the end of pollution and corruption.
As a result, he woke up after an unknown period of time, and was stunned to find that the core of divine authority found by mortals from nowhere was welded back to the divine throne.
“So, the gods that the dwarves believe in now are not those who came to the world after the arrival of the God of Glow as recorded in the Glow God’s classics. Instead, they are like you and originally came from the old era. The god has reawakened?"
Novin confirmed.
"No, absolutely not."
Rusty said firmly.
“Although they have the same name and the same divine authority.”
“But I am sure that the gods that the dwarves worship and believe in now are not the three gods of the old days!”
“They are the new gods coming in the new era!”
Novin: "Huh?"
