Chapter 472: Mortal Myths and God Stories

The supreme miracle brought down by the God of Radiance gave mortal civilization a full 500 years of recuperation.

During these 500 years, according to the records of the Radiance Cult:

"There are no monsters.

No evil gods.

No intrusion of the void.

More gods descended on the continent of Plantis one after another, granting mortals powerful and incredible magic, 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 allowed human civilization to recapture the land that was 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 Radiance.

But the importance of the Radiance Cult has declined a lot.

Because the continent of Plantis has been peaceful for nearly 500 years, the short-lived humans have reproduced for dozens of generations, and the story of the "Dark Ages" has completely become a mythical existence for mortals.

No With monsters but no evil gods, the "purification" effect of the Radiant Divine Art lost its place.

His greatest effect was the divine arts with healing effects.

Until the end of the fifth century of the New Huili, the void invasion returned.

This time the void invasion was even more powerful, because even the Radiant God Naval could not completely stop the impact of many evil gods and monsters.

The Dawn Forest soon turned into the Dark Forest, and under the invasion of monsters, one mortal kingdom after another fell again.

When the miracle of the super-level divine art [Past Glory] was completed, mortal civilization did not repeat the mistakes of the Dark Ages, and 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 mortal priests of the Radiant Divine Church.

From the perspective of the gods.

Norwen knew much more than that.

For example, the huge and complex dark cave system under the surface of the Dark Forest.

Nowen speculated: When the God of Light Naval 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, there was a problem with the suppression, which led to the so-called "void invasion coming back".

In the history recorded by the God of Light, the dwarves and the gods they believed in were also mentioned.

The three gods of lava, casting and wine.

Not long after the God of Light Naval came, these three gods also came to the world and gave the dwarves their blessings.

With the blessings of the three gods, the dwarves have devoted their faith to these three gods since then.

Before, Nowen had not noticed the problem, because he had never seen dwarves, and the activities of the believers did not have any intersection with the dwarves of the stone fort.

Now, Nowen tasted something wrong.

There is obviously a time difference here.

If we talk about the gift,

The gifts of the God of Light when he descended were indiscriminate, and all civilized races in the entire Prantis continent were protected by him.

In this case, the dwarves in the New Huili era should believe in the Four Gods.

Why are there no dwarves willing to offer their faith to the God of Light?

This is obviously not right.

Combined with the characteristics of the dwarves who are stubborn and single-minded.

Norwen has a guess.

"In the last era, that is, the gods believed in by the dwarves in the Old Days, are related to the three gods of the dwarves in the New Huili era? For example, the authority of the gods is the same?"

"For the dwarves, this is not called offering a new faith, but they have found the gods they once believed in?"

Norwen threw the question to Resti.

"You are a god who has lived from the Old Days to the present."

"Who did the dwarves believe in in that era?"

Resti answered the question with a question:

"Do you want to hear the mortal myth version, or the god story version?"

Norwen was stunned.

"Two versions?"

"Tell me about both."

Resti said faintly:

"In the mortal myth version, the three gods believed by the dwarves in the old days, their priesthood and names are - Tros, the god of lava, Gunnir, the god of casting, and Diursor, the god of wine."

"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, and they are worshipped by all dwarves. They were eventually promoted to gods and shared the power that once belonged to them with all dwarfs."

Nowen was shocked: "Mortals become gods?! Is it true?"

This question points directly to the essence of divine power.

The so-called extraordinary power of mortals comes from the blessing of gods.

Gods exist by relying on the faith of mortals.

Where did the original gods come from?

If we follow the description of the dwarf myth, it means that the original gods were powerful enough mortals who transformed the faith of others into divine power and possessed their own authority.

"Fake."

Resti rejected this possibility swiftly.

"This is a mortal myth, just like the fictional stories told by the bards, they all made it up themselves."

"The story of the gods is: the three dwarf gods were all born from the shrine of creation."

"Not just them."

"The gods of the old days all agreed that all gods were originally born in the Creation Altar, where they possessed their own divine core and anchored their own divine position."

"After leaving the Creation Altar, the gods gained their own consciousness and became aware of their own existence."

"Whether this is true or not, no one knows."

"Because all the gods of the old days, including me, were already gods the moment they gained consciousness."

"Of course."

"In theory, if a mortal can possess a divine core that has not yet anchored a divine position, then He should indeed have the possibility of becoming a god as a mortal. As long as he completes the anchoring with the core, he can open up the kingdom of God and sit on the throne of God, but this is just a theory. "

"Specifically how to do it, let alone mortals, the gods themselves don't know how they became gods. Anyway, everyone in the old days was born as a god."

"And in the era of the old days, there was no such thing as the core of divine power in the mortal world."

"I don't know why the world now... uh, has changed a lot after I woke up from my slumber."

When the goddess of illusion, Resti, said this, her tone was a little awkward.

Nowen couldn't help laughing.

Because according to Resti, He didn't even want the throne of God in the old days, and destroyed the core of divine power by himself, just to avoid the end of pollution and corruption.

As a result, when he woke up after an unknown period of time, he was welded back to the throne by the core of divine power that mortals found from nowhere.

"So, the gods that the dwarves believe in now are not the gods that came to the world after the coming of the God of Light as recorded in the books of the Glorious God Church, but gods from the old times like you? Reawakened?"

Nowen confirmed.

"No, absolutely not."

Resti said firmly.

"Although their names are the same and their divine power is the same."

"But I am sure that the gods that the dwarves worship and believe in now are not the three gods from the old times!"

"They are the new gods that came in the new era!"

Nowen: "Ah?"
