Chapter 317 The Mystery of God

Tyre said a few words casually, but Gawain made waves in his heart, because he heard a huge amount of information from those short words!

The Kraken is an ancient and mysterious civilization. This deep-sea race living outside his "satellite monitoring area" has been a fairly developed civilization since tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago, although due to the influence of the magic tide, The technological development of this race seems to have stagnated and bottlenecked, but at least they have continued for this long time - and have left a lot of observation records of terrestrial civilization in the process.

Compared with the situation of "waiting for one frame for a thousand years" in the later period of Gawain, the Kraken's observation is obviously more continuous, more detailed, and more reliable.

Then Tyre's words should also be believable.

That is to say... Every time the civilization of this world is restarted, and every time after everything is reshaped, the mortal race will always establish a similar religion, and always believe in a similar god?

When the inheritance of civilization has been completely interrupted, and even the world has been reshaped, the belief in those gods has continued? !

The gods can ignore the influence of the magic tide. Gawain thought of this a long time ago, but how did their beliefs appear in the mortal world again and again? The mortal civilization of "this season" obtained knowledge about the gods through the "eternal slate", so in every previous season of mortal civilization, will the eternal slate also appear?

According to Gawain's guess, the so-called eternal slate is most likely some kind of storage medium left by the "God Slaughtering Fleet" in ancient times. Could this storage medium have become a medium for the gods to continuously recover and re-spread their own information? Or... all of this is simply the means of the "God Slaughtering Fleet" in the ancient times. Did they do it deliberately?

He felt as if he could smell a conspiracy...

Seeing Gawain's changing expression, Tyre couldn't help but wonder, "What are you thinking? Could it be that I'm talking about those 'gods' and you're not happy? Don't you believe in gods?"

"No, it's not because of this," Gawain quickly waved his hand, "I just thought of something else... By the way, in your siren records, every season of civilization on land has the same system of gods, right? ? Then they are…”

"and many more,

You probably misunderstood," Tyre interrupted him directly, and explained seriously, wagging the tip of his tail, "I mean that you land people believe in 'similar' gods in every season of civilization, not the same gods - this There is a big difference in between. "

"What's the difference?" Gao Wen frowned, "What's the difference?"

"It's just that the beliefs of several generations of sects seem to have something in common, but they don't actually feel like the same god," Tyre thought hard, trying to find the most accurate word to describe the history she knew. "Let me give you an example. For example, the civilizations of your land in the ancient times had a tendency to worship the concepts of 'light, shelter, and justice', and in the process produced the belief in the Holy Light, but the actual The 'God of Light' is different for each previous generation of civilizations. I remember the oldest God of Light in the Siren records being a mighty male giant, but the next generation of civilizations after that worshipped the Holy Light The God of Light is a dragon, a giant crystal dragon... Well, in the civilization of your previous generation or the previous generation, the image of the God of Light seems to be a woman, and it was called the Goddess of Light at that time..."

Gawain listened in a daze, and at the end he hurriedly called Tyre, "Hey, you should pay attention! Don't say this to others when you get out of here, especially don't say it to the group of believers, the content of this topic. It's so blasphemous, it makes people hear that you can easily be grilled on a firewood to become a grilled fish..."

"Don't worry, of course I know," Tyre rolled his eyes, "and the Kraken is not afraid of being roasted by fire, and it's more likely to be roasted into water vapor. We'll just come back with a rain after a wave of cold air..."

Gawain felt as if he had heard some great racial talent, but at the moment he was more concerned about the changing image of gods. "According to what you said just now, are the images of gods believed by other sects changing all the time?"

"Yeah, your goddess of magic in this season was still a god of magic in the last season, and last season it was called 'Dragon of All Mights' Camandor, your god of war in the last season was a thorn with four heads Horned giant lion, but last season was actually a big-breasted woman," Tyre said shaking his head, "and not only the image will change, but sometimes the gods will merge or disappear - for example, in ancient times, blood God and God of War are actually the same belief, and it was called the 'God of Slaughter' at that time, and the God of Commerce you believe in now should actually be divided into the God of Commerce and the God of Contract in a certain season of civilization..."

Gawain was bewildered by the pile of ancient secrets that came out of Tyre, and after struggling with the formula for a long time in his mind, he found that it was impossible for him to explain the changes and corresponding relationships of this pile of gods. It was clear, at least not in a short period of time, so he directly gave up these details and instead concluded the most simple and easy-to-understand conclusion.

Season after season, mortal civilizations believe in definite gods and idols, but in general, what mortals believe in is not an exact and unchanging god, but some unified, in the development of civilization. The "concept product" that will almost inevitably appear in the process!

Mortals are afraid of fire, so they have the belief of fire, mortals yearn for light and justice, so they have the belief in holy light, mortals need trade and fairness, so they have the belief in commerce, and the worship of war and blood gives birth to war and blood. Faith, the fear of the night begets the faith of shadows and darkness...

Their beliefs were originally directed to a certain concept, and the exact image of the god should be a product after that.

So Tyre said that no matter how many generations of civilizations on the land have changed, they all worship "similar gods", but the images of gods in each season of civilization are very different!

Gawain couldn't help but think of the worship of primitive gods on the earth - in ancient times, people on earth also experienced similar things. First, they were in awe of a certain phenomenon in nature, and then from this vague and conceptual awe was born a more A clear god, but unlike the earth, in this world...

Gods and their powers are real.

Those gods whose images are constantly changing... If they really existed from time immemorial, and they all had the same humanistic characteristics as the preaching of various religions, would they allow the mortal civilization season after season to shape their images at will?

It is obviously impossible. After all, in the Holy Light sect, even if a few syllables are wrong when reciting the prayers, they may be "punished" to death by the Holy Light. Those gods are not so forgiving to mortals.

So there is only one conclusion. In each season of civilization's religious system, the gods have really changed... at least, their images have really changed.

A very bold question popped into Gawain's mind, did God create man, or did man create God?

He thought along this bold line of thought, but he encountered a new problem. If it is really "man-made gods", then the suspected god of storms who died in the deep sea, the god of nature who died in the shadow world... Then How to explain the actual flesh and blood?

Another problem is that the Kraken began to excavate the "big squid" in the very ancient times, and during this process, there must have been more than one round of belief in the "God of Storms" on land. During this process, the God of Storms Who is sitting on the "sacred seat"?

You must know that the power of the storm god has always existed. Before the children of the storm fell and blackened, their priests could pray to the storm god in exchange for the "response of the sea", so as to sail in the chaotic endless sea. It is impossible for such a great power to come out of thin air. Is it possible that the God of Storms, who has been bitten and dug by the Krakens, still finds time to return the news of the believers in the busy schedule of life and death? !

If this is the case, then the professionalism of the God of Storms can make Gawain admirable.

Gawain's face was cloudy and uncertain, and finally he only said leisurely, "The relationship between gods and mortals...how are they connected..."

Tyr shrugged (and the tip of his tail) "This involves my blind spot of knowledge. After all, we sirens don't believe in gods at all. Even if we hold any ceremony out of curiosity, we will not get those gods at all. Your 'magic' system is completely incomprehensible in our eyes, just like you can't understand the elemental technology of the siren."

"It's only a ghost if you can get a response from the gods," Gawain couldn't help but squinted at the salted fish essence, "Look at your recipes—the gods responded that they were rushing to serve you as sashimi?"

Tyr licked his lips, "I'm a little greedy talking about this, but I can take a bite of that big white deer..."

Gao Wen didn't want to think, "No way."

"Why..." Miss Kraken was obviously shocked, "Anyway, you don't need the big white deer, you don't burn or eat it, so a big piece of meat is wasted there..."

"The situation of Julu Amoen and the 'big squid' are different," Gawain glanced at the guy who had begun to drool and shook the tip of his tail vigorously, "Julu Amoen was relying on the pile of remains of ancient weapons. The force field generated was sealed, didn't Carmel say it? It's in a very delicate balance now, and God knows what the consequences will be if you take a bite in the past. Besides, the gate to the Shadow Realm is built on Ancient Gondor technology, those ancient technologies can go wrong at any time now, what if the door closes when you go in and take a bite? How do you get out of the Shadow Realm? Just rely on your sea caterpillar-like way of rushing from the inside. Arch it out?"

Tyre "..."

Seeing that Miss Siren was speechless, Gawain sighed and turned to look at the prosperous Cecil City under the bright winter sun.

"Let's continue to bask in the sun."

Tyr curled her lips helplessly, the long snake tail gradually melted and transformed into a snake tail, then she twisted her body and lay down like a salted fish without any power, "I'm so greedy..."

At the same time, in San Sunil City, Santis finally set foot on the land of this ancient capital again.

He raised his head and watched the sun shine on the row upon row of roofs of Saint-Sunil, on the colorful windows of the church, and on the mottled old walls and towers.

After nearly a year, he finally came back.
