1832 Twilight of the Gods
The Antach caretaker said, "Yes, you're right......"
"The gods were created to perform their duties perfectly, and based on a burning curiosity and thirst for knowledge, five powerful gods created races other than humans: dragons, beasts, elementals, undead, and demons. These five powerful gods refer to themselves as these five new races, namely the dragon god, the beast god, the elemental god, the god of death, and the demon god. ”
"The other gods did not have the creative power of these five powerful gods, and they fine-tuned them based on humans, creating a multitude of subhuman races. ”
When Bai Xiaowen heard this, he said, "The Antah people are also one of them?"
"Yes, it was the great god of the sea, Neptune, who created us Antakh, and it is also the faith of our Antakh people. Said the Antach caretaker.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while.
He finally understood that the six major races—the humanoid race, the beast race, the ancient dragon race, the elemental race, the undead race, and the demon race—were all created by the gods.
The important point to note is that the humanoid race includes humans and many subhuman races, of which humans are creatures created by the Supreme God, and subhuman races are the races that the gods have transformed based on the blueprint of humans.
For example, a god who was dissatisfied with the short lifespan of humans and transformed an immortal species with pointed ears, that is, elves, and this god became the "god of elves".
For example, there are gods who have a penchant for rocks or blacksmithing, and they have transformed some of the human race into a stout and stocky race that is good at blacksmithing, that is, dwarves. Such a god is naturally the "god of dwarves" or "god of forging".
Regarding the gods' transformation of the subhuman race, Bai Xiaowen actually has reservations.
These gods, unlike the five powerful gods such as the beast god, can only be "transformed" by humans, and may have carried out many human experiments that violated morality, resulting in many aberrant monsters, and finally groped for subhuman races such as snake people, elves, dwarves, etc.
The disregard of the gods for human life is evident.
"Antahe, what happened later?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Later, the gods explored mortal society too deeply out of curiosity, so that they were spiritually polluted. The Antach caregiver used the word "spiritual pollution," "which caused the flawless gods to have all kinds of negative emotions, greed, jealousy, tyranny...... Driven by all these emotions, a war broke out between the gods. This is the end of the Second Age, the arrival of 'Ragnarok'. ”
"As a result of Ragnarok, the gods have fallen and the mortal age has arrived, that is, the beginning of the Third Age. It's just that I don't know about the Third Age, after all, the Kingdom of Antakh is just a remnant of the Second Age. ”
"Have the gods really fallen?" Bai Xiaowen questioned, "But I've seen some gods...... The incarnation of the will. ”
"The gods have lost their means of remaining in the physical plane of the Lord, and their bodies have been destroyed. It's just that the spiritual will of the gods is strong and can remain existing without the divine body, but they also have to escape into another dimensional plane. The great sages of Antah, the dimensional plane into which the will of the gods were incarnated, called the 'astral plane'. So in the main material plane, it is perfectly reasonable to say that the gods have fallen. Antach caretaker said.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment.
Regarding the explanation of the astral realm and the incarnation of the will of the gods, Bai Xiaowen could not find the flaws in the words of the caretaker of Antah, and there was still credibility. This is also consistent with the current situation of some gods that Bai Xiaowen has directly encountered or indirectly encountered.
However, Bai Xiaowen actually did not agree with the reason for the war of the gods that Antak said. The so-called "driven by all kinds of negative emotions" may make the gods antagonistic, but everyone is a god with an infinite lifespan, and it is unlikely that they will fight you to the death in order to fight for the wind.
Unless, it is the appearance of interests that the gods cannot ignore, so that the gods fight.
Moreover, when the war reaches a certain stage, and the casualties are heavy enough, either the winner or the defeat will be decided, or there will be a compromise, and it is unlikely that the gods will fall and die together, and there will be no one left.
It's a pity that the caregivers of Antach don't know the whole truth, and he can't answer these questions raised by Bai Xiaowen.
"Young humans, the Kingdom of Antakh in the Second Age is only a vassal realm of Neptune, the god of the sea, and is not in a position to know all the truth about the battle of the gods. I can only say sorry for your questions. ”
Bai Xiaowen sighed: "I understand, thank you for telling me so much." "He's very satisfied with all the information he knows.
"Young human, you have something special about you, and perhaps you will be the key to the restoration of the ancient kingdom of Antahe. Endless years have passed, and you are the first creature to break into the sleeping Old Kingdom, and a human being created by the hand of the Most High God. This must have been the arrangement of fate. ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to help you. Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said. Maybe after finding the so-called "general hub" of the place of origin, he will have this ability, but this probability is really not high, and he can only say that he is at the mercy of heaven.
Bai Xiaowen will not make unrealistic promises like a stunned young man.
"I don't know how to revive my people, and as a spirit being, I can't leave this sleeping tomb. However, the possibilities are endless. ”
After a pause, the Antah caretaker said, "The Kingdom of Antah will do its best to support you, hoping to get your reward one day." ”
Bai Xiaowen is not surprised, the ancient kingdom of Antahe is hopeless now, just like a person who sinks to the bottom of a lake and cannot escape, and he has to catch a bubble when he sees it.
It is better to have little hope than no hope.
"If one day I have this ability, I will repay the Kingdom of Antahe. Bai Xiaowen smiled, "I don't know what kind of funding the Antach Kingdom can provide to me now?" He was a little moved, the legacy of an ancient kingdom in the era of the gods should be quite a lot.
However, the words of the caretaker of Antah ruthlessly shattered Bai Xiaowen's illusions.
"The war of the gods has wiped out all the wealth accumulated by the ancient kingdom. So when it comes to material wealth, I can't do anything, but ......," said the Antah caretaker, "what our Antah Kingdom is most proud of is actually the secret technique of spiritual telekinesis that has been passed down for thousands of years. ”
