Chapter 405 Elves and Titans
Excerpt 1 from "Elves' Past-Origin and Divergence":
Dark elves originated from the elves. They were originally just a branch of the elves, just like the races of different skin colors among humans. Belong to the same origin, but have some differences.
The confrontation between the dark elves and the elves was not simply instigated by a certain careerist, or something similar happened. There are deeper reasons for this division of the ethnic group.
If the confrontation between the dark elves and the elves is described in detail, I am afraid that a huge book can be compiled. That is the story that began tens of thousands of years ago on Earth. It started with the story of [Drow] and [Dan Mo]. (Note 1)
All kinds of things have appeared in the tens of thousands of years of historical changes, so I won't go into details here, just a rough and general statement.
There are different opinions on the origin of the elves, but some scholars, especially the wise men and librarians from [Eternal City] (Note 2), once thought that they had found the most logical origin.
The Elves may have had a deep connection with the Eternals, the giants of the Eternals (people prefer to call them: Titans) the earliest known civilization in this world.
Including [Eternal City] are all gifts left by this ethnic group. Although they did not leave detailed written records, cosmologists know from the few words and various speculations they can find that the eternal Titans are the earliest founders of this world civilization.
They are the sowers of the whole civilized world. Almost all known civilizations recorded in [Eternal City] are related to the Titans. No matter how subtle and inconspicuous the connection may seem at times.
Some scholars firmly believe that the Titan civilization is the founder of our known civilization, and only in this way can we accept various things. Why do most civilized creatures in all known civilizations exhibit a similar form? !
Including upright walking with a similar brain. Most creatures exhibit a humanoid form. This is unbelievable. And there may be only one explanation, that is, the vast majority of known civilizations are actually created by a more advanced civilization (similar to the eternal giant Titan) according to its own template.
There are quite a few scholars who hold this view, and most of them believe that the Titans have an important connection with the ancient gods who have disappeared. Titans are likely direct descendants of the Old Gods.
Although the author of this book - the librarian from [Eternal City] number 10126 holds the opposite opinion.
But that doesn't negate the Titan's significant impact on the world. The story about the Titans can be found in the library archives, book number 99999: "The Eternal Family". The author does not describe much here.
The birth of elves and dark elves There are quite a few people who think that they were not constructed by similar titan civilizations. It's even possible that elves sprang directly from the corpses of giants. They are creatures of giant power, not simple creatures.
But this speculation has been questioned and criticized because no one has ever seen the true face of the Titan. But the differences between the elves and the dark elves also began with the wavering and differences in their self-belief and birth cognition.
The elves believe that they are creatures transformed from the world tree. The earliest purpose was to protect the tree guards of the World Tree. The dark elves disagreed with this statement.
They are more inclined that he was born by absorbing the energy of the corpse of the titan. Because of their very different understandings of self-worth and beliefs, the two parties began to drift away.
Until [Drow] came to power and became the ruler of the dark elves, the rift grew wider and wider. (Reference here is "Elegant War: Elves" book number 6034026)
The Dark Elves advocated finding the Titans, their former masters. But the elves don't agree with this kind of thing. Because from various signs, the Titan civilization has long since disappeared into the universe. Perhaps the Eternals are gone.
From the little information available, the Titans like peace. They don't even know what killing is. They have the power to create and destroy the world, but they prefer to live in peace and tranquility. If the Titans don't want others to find them, then no one will be able to find them.
So the elves feel that the idea of the dark elves is very stupid. When the unhealable rift between beliefs and values became bigger and bigger, the elves were completely split. The dark elves left the kingdom of the elves, and they embarked on their own journey to find the Titan.
They believe they will find it. And the hidden dangers planted by this division also planted deep hidden dangers for the war that finally broke out between the two races...
Li Jie's eyes were almost blurred after reading this short paragraph of text. This is a small book that Luo Ji gave him before he went out today. Very dilapidated, a large number of pages are missing, and there are traces of being burned.
Loki told him that there was a considerable part of the story about the dark elves. So Li Jie took the time to read the contents of this book while following the patrol team looking for the spies of the dark elves.
The content of this book is too obscure. Many things mentioned in it are completely unknown to Li Jie. He cannot understand what is written in this book unless he reads the other documents mentioned in the book together.
The only thing that can be understood is the relationship about why the elves split. It's a disagreement of beliefs and values, a matter of self-identity. This kind of divergence is the most difficult to integrate, because of the different value propositions. Therefore, the elves and the dark elves will have different ways of doing things.
Compared with the inexplicable and illogical things that the dark elves did in the "Thor" movie I watched in my previous life. Many things now have a reasonable explanation. And the war between the dark elves and the elves also has something understandable. Does this count as what humans call a "holy war"?
Then, because of the beginning of the war and the inability to find the whereabouts of the Titans, their self-worth and beliefs became more and more gloomy, so the dark elves became more and more distorted, so that now only destruction is left in their minds. ?
Li Jie didn't dare to make this assertion because he knew too little information.
However, he only needs to know the general idea of the dark elves and the elves, and don't ask for a deep understanding. Anyway, I am not an elf, and the things I have to solve are always about humans and the earth!
After following the patrols of Asgard and the dark elves for almost two days, they finally found a place where the dark elf scouts stayed.
Li Jie held a long knife made by the dwarves in his hand, and the thunder knife was ready to use at any time. He needs to know the strength of ordinary dark elves fighters before he can decide how to introduce the dark elves to the earth.
Drow and Modan are the titles used by the gods to call the dark elves. Here I have made a moderate adaptation and set these two titles as two important leaders in the history of the dark elves.
【Note 2】The Eternal City was mentioned in the article a long time ago, and Loki used to go there to borrow books. The news including the worldly python all comes from the library on this planet. This place will be described in detail later.
Only one chapter is updated today, I am a little tired and ask for leave.
