Chapter 292 The End of Peace

596

“By the disobedience of one man all became sinners.”

Star Boundary, the Kingdom of God of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

This is the source of disaster, the core of endless fireworks and evil, like a constantly collapsing vortex, dragging countless lives into the dark and deep abyss.

The mythical creature with feathers like flames and gold was caught off guard. The cooperation between the true creator and the devil was a perfect tacit understanding. The shadow of the devil cut off the prayers of the people of Intis and prevented his oracle from reaching the ears of believers. middle.

However, His neighbor, the True God, is dragged down by the abyss of the sea. He must protect the kingdom of his believers and prevent the filthy sea of ​​blood from further swallowing up farmland and normal oceans. Otherwise, they will not be able to grow food on their land in the future, and the ocean will not be suitable for the reproduction of marine life and fish for a long time. The gods of the northern continent will be lower than the Mother Earth!

When foreign gods fight against gods, they don’t even hide in the Kingdom of God!

He just calmly placed his sinful kingdom on the sea, regardless of the souls in it, regardless of the existence of the kingdom of God itself, and allowed it to continue to erode reality and expand its influence, driving malice and tides, thereby dragging down all living beings. The anchor needs protection from the footsteps of the true God!

One of the wings of the Eternal Sun was torn apart by the demon, and his symbol and power were damaged. The Declined King threw these things away casually, and the golden rain of blood and wings fell into the rotating shadows, as if another sun had revealed its light on the deep black sea and was about to rise.

He tried his best to shout, but received no response. As his power continued to be consumed and exploded, he could feel that another pair of eyes gradually opened in his mind - with his eyes open, he seemed to feel another pair of eyes. Perspective!

In an instant, the flames and light on His body were several times brighter than before. The sky in the north of the world ushered in a day with an equally astonishing temperature and heat. The gods of the star world cast their gaze at the same time. The sea roared angrily, and the brass Eyes closed one after another.

But the next second, the Eternal Blazing Sun suddenly and strangely fell into silence. The eyes of the eternal will that originated from the path lost their focus, and the terrifying erosion process calmed down after reaching a peak.

Silence, absolute silence.

Under this immeasurable erosion, all life will wither, and what is left in the end is a quiet desolation, just like a storm roaring on the sea. This is the eye of the storm, and a frightening silence pervades. on this land.

In less than a second, the devil suddenly stretched out his hand and tore apart this country with endless brilliance, growing flowers, and layers of golden temples. The fire of hell burned everything, and he hooked The blade-like claws clasped the remaining wings and neck of the Sun Bird, and tore them apart with force!

This seemed to be the final word in the battle between gods. After several rounds of resistance, the Eternal Fierce Sun was torn into pieces. The devil carried Him like a human carrying a dead bird. He let go of his hand, and his remains carried the only Sex falls into the shadows.

In an instant, the sun shines brightly.

The stacked dark clouds were pushed away by the air waves, and when the sun rose, the entire sky was rendered into an indescribably brilliant golden color.

The demon wiped the sizzling blood on his hands and scales in an extremely humane manner, and his body quickly shrank, turning into a human-sized appearance.

He put a mask on his face, and the blurry figure quickly became clear.

The abyss rumbled, sin and the sea of ​​blood no longer spread, and the announcement of the end of the world ended. The dark and gloomy sinful country quietly sank into the spiritual world, and established its own coordinates on a small island extremely far away from the land. superior.

Edward Vaughn glanced at everything in the sky, and a warm smile once again appeared on his expressionless face.

The devil put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly, raised the other hand, and bowed to the gods.

The end of God.

"On the importance of "anchors" on the earth and its impact on social systems and the behavior of the gods"

Decline King

"When the gods of the Earth (i.e. Blue Star) chose the "Anchor", they had a natural weakness and established a brand new system.

Most notably, the "anchor" thing began in the Third Age. It is still unclear what caused the gods to embark on this path (Note: The author insists that it was the shepherd God who led them astray, but the Creator It seems that there is some dissatisfaction with the author's opinion 1359.6.25). They are like rich people who have property and begin to care about their farmland, the gap between rich and poor, and the reproduction of their livestock. The time they spent on preaching gradually exceeded the time they spent exploring and fighting for their own authority, thus bringing the world into a period of relative peace.

As a result, the "royal/royal-church" system was established, and the extraordinary became a kept mystery. Even if it happened from time to time, it was often explained with relatively scientific reasons. The victims were often absorbed into the church in various ways and became part of the "church establishment."

The author tentatively believes that the existence of the "royal family/royal family" is the highest form of the privileged class in the secular world on the premise that "the church system needs to distinguish the extraordinary and the secular." Although they are just puppets in most cases, they still have the bounden duty of "maintaining social stability."

In the long run, the "church system" will weaken the spread of extraordinary knowledge to the extreme, thereby reducing the competitiveness of the extraordinary world. Believers who have been taught by the church for a long time will also become loyal fans of the gods they believe in. At the same time, the extraordinary people of the church will obtain a basic anchor with the help of the church. Even if they are promoted to high-sequence and angels in the future, they will still maintain their faith in the gods.

(A discussion on the significance of the different class divisions of the nobility and the church)

In addition, in terms of combat, since all the gods have the common weakness of "anchor", there is a new tacit understanding.

For example, "Don't be the first to use God's Drop", and "True Gods don't fight without authorization", etc., first let the anchors of both sides fight, and then the gods will decide the winner or loser, so it is very likely that a "Jedi Counterattack" will occur. Case. This behavior is not beneficial to victory and will result in the loss of a large number of anchors. Most anchors cannot be of much help to the actions of God or the church. Excessive dead people will also drag down the secular and low-level churches, causing social unrest... There are many flaws but they still exist. It is the "church system" and the "anchor system" "A strange situation constructed together.

At the same time, because of the existence of the "anchor", the gods themselves also produced other new behaviors.

For example, "Try not to do too well at managing anchors."

The specific research example is "Intis", a country that believes in the "Eternal Scorching Sun". According to the author's guess and historical research, the "Eternal Scorching Sun" can give sunshine only to the people of Intis, which can achieve the fastest speed. To gain more followers, He did not do that.

The speculation is that this behavior harms the interests of the other five gods and will cause the "Eternal Blazing Sun" to be attacked by a group.

From a historical perspective, the gods have cooperated twice, one was the "Rose of Redemption" at the end of the Third Age, and the other was the "Death of the Black Emperor" that occurred in Solomon's First Empire in the middle and late Fourth Age.

The former occurred because of the original awakening, which threatened the lives of the gods, and the latter occurred because Solomon and the True Creator possessed a large number of anchors, which also threatened the interests and lives of the gods. The reasons for the collapse of the Second Empire were much the same as those of the First Empire.

Conclusion: The gods can tolerate a certain degree of division of interests but will cooperate in the face of consistent threats to life.

This is an important means to divide and attack them.

The second is the impact of the division of the "anchor" effect on God's behavior.

The specific research example is "Feneport", a country that believes in the "Earth Goddess".

Based on the author’s ongoing research and comparison, the conclusion drawn is: given the same degree of piety, the effect of the “anchor” will differ depending on the believer’s ability. It is known that mortals＜Extraordinary＜high-sequence extraordinary persons, the effect of the faith of ten thousand mortals on gods is basically comparable to that of a stable demigod. And more mortals (the author failed to come up with an accurate number) can be on par with the devout angels... Through research on the limited number of primitive gods in the Rhoside Islands, it is concluded that tens of thousands of people are enough to maintain a god. It represents the balance between "humanity" and "divinity", and the redundant "anchor" symbolizes the maximum range of the liberating power of the gods in the event of a divine war (the author has not been able to draw accurate data conclusions).

However, human nature cannot grow uncontrollably due to divinity. The essence of "anchor" is to constantly help divinities understand the mortal world and establish connections with mortals. This is another argument that the author makes about the number of people needed to maintain the "sanity maximum."

Based on this premise, the author has many doubts:

"If 500,000 people are enough to maintain the maximum sanity of the Earth Mother, then what is the meaning of the existence of the remaining people in Feneport?"

In the event of a divine war, do we only need to take care of 500,000 people?

Or, if one saint is equal to ten thousand people, who is more important in the choice?

The author has a hunch that this is a rather subtle and obscure research direction, because as a country that believes in the "Mother Goddess of the Earth", Feneport still has not solved the problem of food and clothing for the people at the bottom, and when turmoil occurs in the northern continent, there is almost no "escape" Rumors and waves of refugees appeared... In addition to encouraging births (all gods encourage it), their food prices are not much different from those in foreign countries. The church does not object to this, but it is contrary to the essential purpose of human belief in the "Earth Goddess" and the "Planting God"...

This is an extremely strange doubt, but it can be explained by the same reason as the "Eternal Blazing Sun".

The gods don't need to be great, they just need to be not the worst, because the number of anchors they have is enough to maintain a stable "sanity maximum."

Privileges and preferential treatment are contrasted. When efforts cannot change class and destiny, the kingdom of God exerts its effect of stabilizing reality.

The author believes that although there are seven gods in the Northern Continent, it is still essentially a monotheistic world.

Countries basically only believe in one god, and a believer often only believes in one god... In countries with multiple god beliefs, such as Loen and Fenebaud, although there are minor differences, the two countries are more relaxed about belief. And freedom is often reflected in "non-discrimination against infidels" and "freedom to convert". Relatively speaking, if you convert in both countries, you will not lose your previous connections and social status... This is a slightly progressive enlightenment.

Research on the topic of "one anchor for multiple purposes" has been temporarily put on hold. This world lacks high-sequence believers who believe in multiple gods at the same time.

From the perspective of the development of human history, "monotheistic belief" is the inevitable evolution of "polytheistic belief". "Monotheistic religion" has the strongest cohesion, the strongest execution power, the strongest appeal, and can give God and The church brings the greatest benefit, and humans are a socialized race.

(A paragraph of speculation about the inference and implementation of "one anchor for multiple purposes")

This topic comes to an end. In the following research, the author will clarify the similarities and differences with the concept of "families" in the stars.

January 12, 1301

Fusak, Insatu, heavy snow"

…

Trier, Cathedral of Light.

When the rain of fire and brimstone stopped falling, the shadows in the sky shrank and turned into a figure wearing a long robe. A young man with dark blond hair.

He walked in this burning street, pressed down his palms, and the golden flames disappeared.

He has begun to accept prayers on behalf of the Eternal Scorching Sun to appease panicked believers. The best way is to calm down the disaster.

Trier was basically protected at His request, and there were only a handful of disasters that occurred in Intis, with the total number of people affected by the disaster being around 10,000. The devil is indeed very reassuring in this regard. The true Creator asked him to preserve Intis as much as possible, so he did not allow almost any power to escape from the Kingdom of God. As long as he has the power and status to cooperate, he can basically get anything. .

The true Creator looked at the cathedral that was burned by the flames. In the blazing sunshine and flames, it still stood tall and even shone brighter. Apart from religious factors, the church art of Intis has already reached its peak. They are extravagant and extravagant. They use gold to buy a large amount of high-quality building materials, hire artists to paint the ceiling, and even use gold as one of the building materials. Compared with symbolizing gods, The majesty is more like a symbol of mankind's artistic pursuit of holiness and nobility.

This is a work of art jointly constructed by religion and humanity.

While gazing at this great church, the True Creator's mind flashed back to the first church he had seen since his awakening. The church was temporarily rebuilt in Backlund's underground base of the Aurora Society. It was more than five meters high, not noble, and still... A church that smells like a nouveau riche.

"It's a pity that it's all destroyed."

While he was trying hard to recall the contents of the smashed gemstone mural, a voice sounded behind him with a nostalgic tone, strangely speaking his heartfelt voice. He did not look back, and soon, a figure in black came to his side.

Edward, who once again took on a human appearance, walked up slowly, holding a broken sculpture head in his hand.

The devil asked Him with a smile: "Are you happy?"

"It can't be said to be happy, nor can it be said to be sad." The real creator said calmly, "I just feel that history has returned to its starting point once again. What's wrong with your face? You probably don't need to pretend anymore."

"When in town, do as the Romans do."

Edward looked around, then smiled and tapped the ground with the ruby-encrusted cane in his hand: "I think this identity is used very smoothly. What are you going to say next, 'The Creator opened His right eye'? The right eye is still With the left eye, who turned into the sun?"

Without waiting for the true Creator to answer, He took out a small booklet full of notes from his pocket and read:

"The Creator woke up from chaos, broke the darkness, created the first ray of light, and completely integrated himself into the universe, incarnating into all things. His body became the earth and stars, and one of his eyes became the sun and the other... As the red moon, part of His blood surges into the sea and rivers, nourishing and nurturing life..."

"His spirit became the Eternal Sun, the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom..."

The devil clicked his tongue: "I didn't say."

The True Creator pouted at this content and declined to comment.

He raised his head and asked again:

"Are you planning to break the Extraordinary Concealment now? Such a big thing can only be explained by the continuous eruption of underground volcanoes. The violent impact on the coast of the continent, the rupture and sinking of tectonic plates, a solar eclipse, cult members taking advantage of the chaos, gas explosions, collective hallucinations... .”

The true Creator withdrew his gaze from the newborn sun in the sky and said casually:

"It's about breaking."

"But the specific language still needs to be considered."

"Then I'll bother you later." Edward said, "I have a cake shop that I like very much. I haven't been here for fifty years. I don't know if it will be inherited by the grandson of the owner I know. See you later."

"See you."

"What kind of flavor do you want to eat?"

"See you."

Edward smiled, and He turned and left, bidding farewell to the true Creator who was heading in the other direction.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt as if he was still holding a useless object in his hand, so he flew up and kicked the unknown person's head away, smashing it into the ruins in the distance.

He hummed a song and walked briskly, leaving the city where the flames were slowly extinguishing.
