Chapter 783: Above the Gods
"You are the first to come. What discoveries and progress have you made?"
Someone threw the question back to Wallace.
Wallace nodded without hesitation: "After my investigation, I have put aside those unofficial histories and gossips that are obviously fabricated."
"I think the most reliable theory at present is that this great being came from a period earlier than the New Huili and the Dark Ages."
"They believe that the God of Knowledge belongs to the old times. After a long sleep, He awakened and returned to this world!"
The blood pressure of several other old scholars suddenly rose, and their faces turned red and their hearts beat fast.
"The old times?!"
"Long sleep?"
Because the Dark Ages were too chaotic, it was difficult for humans at that time to survive and protect themselves, so that most of the records about the old times were lost during that period.
Humans only have a short lifespan of a few decades, and the longest-lived can only live to more than 150 years old at most.
Once a historical gap occurs.
If you want to trace back to what happened in the past, you can basically only rely on speculation.
In addition, most people don't really care what happened in the old times.
That era has long disappeared in history with the end of the legendary gods, leaving only ruins.
For many pragmatic people.
The greatest benefit of believing in a god is to allow them to have enough food, clothing, safety and health, and preferably a unique ability that is enough for them to survive.
As long as there is a god who can do this, they are willing to offer their faith to him.
If no god is willing to give them this help, then they will choose the most powerful god as their faith.
This so-called "most powerful god" comes from the research and summary of scholars.
In the genealogy of the new brilliant gods they arranged, the God of Radiance is the most powerful existence.
People are too lazy to pay attention to why the gods they believe in are so powerful and why they are greater than other gods.
They don't know how these are analyzed, as long as someone tells them the results.
Those processes are not important to them.
Especially those who have been blessed by gods.
Is it useful to convert to a more powerful god?
If that god is unwilling to bless you, then no matter how powerful he is, it has nothing to do with you.
It makes no difference to them whether the other party is an old god or a new god.
Only this group of curious scholars are willing to spend their energy on studying these things.
Of course.
Regarding the study of "the origin of gods", scholars have very few research results.
Let alone the gods of the old times.
Now scholars are arguing among themselves about whether the new gods are "the birth of new gods" or "the advent of old gods".
If a god from the old times can really wake up and return, doesn't it mean that a "god in question" has appeared.
His oracles and revelations will be the most accurate first-hand information!
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I remember there was a document about restoring the miracles of the gods of the old times!"
Someone excitedly began to count on his fingers.
"The gods at that time were extremely powerful, and they worked together to maintain the stability of the mortal dimension."
"The most powerful beings, such as the God of Death Jaeger, according to the records on the Holy Mountain in the Northern Kingdom, his followers can even enter the void dimension under the protection of the necromancy, destroy the evil gods inside, and prevent them from accumulating enough power to invade the mortal world."
"And the mortals of that era did not need to hide in a barrier like [Past Glory], and there was no extremely polluted area like the Dark Forest in the world."
"These are the results of the investigations of the magic hermitage mages, and they are quite credible."
"If we calculate based on these records, it seems reasonable that there was a powerful being who could completely purify the void pollution in the last era?"
The more these old scholars thought about it, the more excited they became.
Someone couldn't help but shout excitedly:
"According to this calculation!"
"The current Xinhui God system really needs to be overthrown and reconstructed!"
"This god of the old days, the power he possesses is so strong that no god can compare to him. Perhaps he should be divided into a separate category, above the Xinhui gods... uh!"
When it comes to the most important part, he suddenly reacted.
His expression changed slightly and he looked at Wallace.
Wallace nodded with a wry smile.
Everyone realized a key problem.
A perfect version in 1619 Book 1 Bar!
Although the affairs of gods and the affairs of the mortal world are two different things, there is an inseparable connection between the two.
From an academic perspective, they sorted the "power" of the gods and divided the Xinhui gods into a genealogy.
This genealogy has been used for hundreds of years.
Among them, several powerful beings at the top have never changed their positions.
For example, the most powerful god in the Xinhui calendar, Naval, the God of Glory, is recognized as the most powerful god in the Xinhui calendar. His power is the key to helping mortals resist the return of the void.
Whether it is [Past Glory] or various divine arts of radiance that have miraculous effects on monsters and cultists, or divine power that can provide healing to mortals.
Therefore, the God of Radiance always sits at the top of this genealogy, surpassing other gods.
No matter who you ask, everyone is willing to admit that this god is the most powerful among all gods.
Among mortals.
His followers, both in scope and number, are overwhelmingly ahead of other gods.
The churches of the Glowing God are spread all over the Kingdom of Reyak, and even in places like Greenport and the Northern Kingdom, there are churches.
Whether it is the believers who have been blessed by Him, or those ordinary people who are willing to believe in Him and pray for His protection even though they have not been blessed, the number of these people is also extremely large.
More than a hundred years ago, a curious scholar once cooperated with the Glowing God to conduct a "faith census".
About 90% of the people in the Kingdom of Reyak regard Naval, the God of Glow, as the god they believe in, and are willing to pray to Him regularly and abide by His teachings as much as possible in exchange for His protection.
The "status" of the Glowing God is already deeply rooted.
But the God of Knowledge, Nowen, appeared.
If I tell everyone now that there is a god who is more powerful and more worthy of belief than the Glowing God.
The order will be in chaos.
Should people convert or not?
Wallace spread his hands helplessly.
"Old fellows, now you know why I called you here."
"The truth of history may be in front of you and me."
"We may have witnessed the awakening and return of an old god."
"The question is, do we dare to announce this news?"
