Chapter 775: Mystery of the Times

The lingua franca word "detection" is very important to Novin.

In his previous understanding, pollution, evil gods, monsters, etc. were obviously cancers of the world, rushing to destroy everything.

If you want to use the method of destroying monsters to conduct testing, then you can obviously use a more accurate way of describing it, such as "trial".

In the message from the Magic Goddess, detection was used.

When believers explore and fight in dark crypts, they also activate the "detection mode".

The name "Trial" was coined by Noven himself.

The structural layering of the dark crypt originally made Novin very firm in his ideas.

Since it's called an "isolation layer," it must be to isolate something, right?

The most numerous monsters in the dark crypt are obviously monsters!

Isolate monsters, especially dangerous monsters above level 3.

So the Underdark Crypt functions like a "prison."

It seems reasonable to think about it this way.

Including the uppermost "leakage layer" area near the surface.

When he discovered the leakage layer, Noven's thought was that perhaps the power of pollution was too strong for the underground prison system to completely seal and suppress it inside, and it would inevitably leak to the outside world.

In the most radical idea, Novin even suspected that the Void Return Invasion incident at the end of the fifth era of the New Hui Calendar, and the Void Dimension Crack that erupted deep in the Dark Forest, might actually be related to the Dark Crypt.

For example - because this place has not been cared for by anyone or a god for too long, some serious malfunction occurred, causing it to lose its effect and cause pollution to overflow.

It is equivalent to a prisoner successfully escaping from prison.

But now it seems that the situation is more complicated than I expected.

"Is there a possibility?"

Novin discussed with Rusti thoughtfully:

"The place that people in the New Hui Li called the Dark Crypt was not used as a prison at the very beginning, but as a serious facility?"

"The Realm of Arcane Detection."

"Some kind of place where believers in the goddess of magic and mages can come here to be tested and receive rewards?"

Resty's main focus is to ask questions and don't know.

"ah?"

"Is that so?"

"I don't know!"

Nuowen curled his lips helplessly.

"Forget it, let's change the question."

"Do the gods and mortals of the old days know about the existence of the Dark Crypt?"

"Oh, I know this!" Resty finally found some use: "I'm sure, absolutely not! The Dark Forest at that time was a large ancient forest, and explorers and adventurers often went there to explore. ”

"Although there were incidents like the monster red tide at that time, the way it was displayed was actually completely different from the current situation, and the names of mortals were also varied."

"Humans call it the Disaster of Monsters, dwarves call it the Night of Deformation, and elves call it the Black Tide of Blasphemy... Anyway, they all came up with the words themselves."

"The gods have never found a clear reason for the void invasion, so there has never been a unified explanation. Everyone has their own opinions."

"At that time, there was no super-level magic like [Past Glory], which is theoretically impossible for mortals to use, but the number of professionals was much more than now, and their strength was much stronger, so people relied more on their own strength. Resist monsters."

"Whenever the disaster of monsters rages, rifts directly connected to the void dimension will appear out of thin air all over the world."

"Mortal people will gather in some safe cities and towns before the monster disaster breaks out, and then powerful professionals will protect the cities and eliminate the monsters that rush out from the void dimension."

Noven thought for a moment and reacted.

"It's almost the same as the situation in Ceylon's Everlasting Night, right?"

Resty laughed awkwardly.

"Hehe... hahaha... yes."

He almost fell into the Ceylon region and became a disgraceful god who was pushed by mortals to become an evil god.

The state of Ceylon Yongye is very similar to what Resty described.

Void fissures appeared out of thin air everywhere. Monsters did not need to pollute the normal animals and plants to be born, but monsters that originally belonged to the void dimension invaded the mortal world.

Regarding the fact that mortals in the old days were stronger, Noven was not too surprised.

Just look at the situation over at Stone Castle.

The ancestors of the dwarves used to have to fight with existences like stone spirit monsters at every turn, okay?

Now just 6 stone spirit monsters have almost destroyed the stone castle. Noven estimated that these monsters could only be considered elite monsters among monsters before.

…

Noven used his brain to sort out his thoughts.

If the descriptions in Genesis about the origin of the gods are true.

Then the development of this world should be roughly divided into 5 stages.

Arrange in order of time from early to late.

In the earliest times, there were no gods, only the Creator and the dimensions and lives He created.

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

This is the first stage of the world, and Novan tentatively calls it the "Era of Creation."

Whether this period is the "history" or "mythology" of the world has been debated endlessly by mortals. There is no conclusion yet on whether the world was created by a creator master. Many archaeological and mythological scholars are keen to study this, running around the world in order to find it. Not enough evidence to back up their point, but the progress is touching.

In the second stage, the world has the helpers of the Creator, such as the Mother Goddess of Life, the God of Death, the Elemental Monarch, the Goddess of Magic, and the Lord of Demons, and the civilization of mortals is gradually prospering.

They have obviously shared their power with mortals, allowing the civilization of this world to develop in the direction of "theism".

This is something that Norven can be sure of.

The evidence is the message found in the dark crypt, or the realm of arcane detection.

If what Resti said is true.

That means that long before the birth of the gods of the old days, mortals believed in the Goddess of Magic, obtained her power, and could also get rewards through the so-called detection.

And this should also be something that the Creator instructed. After all, in the message of the Goddess of Magic, it was mentioned several times that she acted according to the "ideas of the Creator".

The first invasion of the void is the landmark node.

According to the revised version of "Genesis".

The first batch of gods were born, and the world came to the third stage, which is the so-called old days.

More gods, more beliefs, and more kinds of abilities.

The new gods gave their power to mortals, allowing them to fight against monsters and making the development direction of the "theistic" world more stable.

The "End of the Gods" event marked the end of the old era.

The world entered the fourth era, the Dark Age.

The gods of the old days died completely.

Mortals lost the help of the gods, and the mortal world fell under the invasion of the void.

Until the fifth era, the New Era of Glory.

The new "gods" came to the world.

The world regained order and stability, and civilization was revived and continued.

The order was complete and coherent.

Therefore, there are a total of three records of the "birth" of gods in this world.

So Norven found a doubt.

The time point of one thing was very vague and ambiguous!

"The Goddess of Magic and the God of Death, when exactly did they stop responding to the prayers of mortals?"
