Chapter 580: Provisions of the Dark Charter
Truly ancient myths often have a striking feature, and that is that they are divorced from religion.
This seems to be a bit contradictory, since it is a myth, how can it be separated from religion?
You must know that as long as it is a religion, it must use mythology to support its teachings, and the two are complementary to each other. How can mythology be divorced from the existence of religion?
Without religion, who would weave myths and legends and spread the glory of the gods?
However, in fact, when the world's oldest mythological system appeared, there was no religion at all.
Later Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism...... And so on and so on, all of which were religions that emerged later. Moreover, they often absorb and adapt those ancient myths, process them into new mythological systems, and consciously fabricate a system of the kingdom of God to support their own religious doctrines.
Of course, the theology that Lao Xie studied could not be the theology of these religions, but those myths and legends that were really ancient and crude.
Those religious myths have no reference significance for Lao Xie's research. If he could, Lao Xie could concoct a complete set of new mythological systems with a nose and eyes anytime and anywhere, which would ensure that any theologian in the world would never be able to complete the research for a lifetime.
Even, Lao Xie once designed three religious doctrines and compiled three canons to circulate. He then became the leader of three religions that had emerged less than thirty years ago, and although these three sects were classified as irregular by the world's religious organizations, all three sects had more than 10 million adherents.
In other words, don't look at Lao Xie's aging appearance of a candle in the wind, with a Mediterranean-style baldness. But with one sentence, he can command 30 million people, and one order can even overthrow a small national government and establish a new kingdom of God.
Do not doubt the strength of the three popes created by Lao Xie, and the believers' belief in religion is more devout than anything else. For the sake of faith, believers can give everything they have, including their lives, without hesitation.
It is precisely for this reason that these three religions have not been recognized by the world's religious organizations.
It is ridiculous to say that religion requires absolute piety from believers, but religions whose believers are truly devout enough to give everything are often considered cults. It is only religions that do not require absolute devotion from believers that are accepted by all.
The theology studied by Lao Xie is all myths and legends that appeared before religion.
Those myths and legends are often very rough, full of primitive roughness and wildness, and the gods and demons have not been artificially glorified and deteriorated, showing the most real side.
For example, Zeus, the king of the gods in ancient Greek mythology, was very lustful, could have sexual intercourse with females of various races, and had many illegitimate children. Moreover, the gods often mess with the relationship between men and women, and they can't help but be separated from each other, which is intricate and chaotic.
Another example is Norse mythology, where the gods have their own character shortcomings, such as arrogance, rudeness, selfishness, mischief, and so on.
Another example is the ancient Chinese mythology of those witch gods with human heads and snake bodies, or tiger heads and human bodies, who are cruel and easy to kill, extremely aggressive, and often die in a battle.
The most important thing is that whether it is Norse mythology, ancient Greek mythology, or ancient Chinese mythology, the gods and demons in it will die.
Instead of being like other religious myths, God never dies and God is always on top.
Gods and demons will die, which is a strong proof that those gods and demons are likely to be awakened, although powerful, despite all kinds of incredible abilities, but still die.
Lao Xie nodded appreciatively to Liu Xi and said to everyone: "What Liu Xi said is very right, and the two similarities she said are very good. However, there is a third similarity, that is, the gods and demons of these three god systems will die. Whether they were burned, drowned, hacked to death, killed by heroes, or killed to death by each other, they were not undead creatures. ”
"Personally, I believe very much that the gods and demons of these three ancient god systems are essentially awakened. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a more intelligent view?"
The students were silent, since they were all classmates, it was basically impossible to have a more intelligent opinion than the teacher.
Unless, this student is Liu Xi.
Liu Xi did have a more intelligent opinion, but she didn't say it.
The reason why she only said two points, and did not say that gods would die, was because Liu Xi knew that the Twelve Ancestral Witches would not really die.
Their bloodline will be passed down from generation to generation, and when killed, the bloodline genes will awaken in another person or witch, and then grow into a new ancestor.
Although Lao Xie's knowledge is higher than that of most of the supernatural beings, he is limited by the knowledge framework and does not know the origin of the Wu clan, so he thinks that the ancestral witch can be killed.
Liu Xi smiled and said nothing, of course she would not correct this, in fact, it didn't matter.
However, she still underestimated Lao Xie, a strange person who had studied ancient mythology for a hundred years, and only heard Lao Xie continue: "Students, we all know that the awakened cannot be truly eliminated. Even if you kill them, maybe after a few hundred years or thousands of years, they will be resurrected again. What we can do is kill them at all costs as soon as they are resurrected. Otherwise, we will all be their food. ”
Lao Xie pointed to the bell tower behind him and said to everyone: "It is called the Alarm Bell of the World, and legend has it that it was ordered to be cast by one of the most powerful popes in history in the Middle Ages. It is said that Taoist priests from the East and monks from India were also involved in the casting of this bronze bell. To put it simply, this bell is a concentration of the most outstanding and powerful abilities of the time, and they work together to create this alarm bell. ”
"What is the purpose of spending so much energy and gathering the most powerful abilities to create a wake-up call?"
Chu Yanqiu walked up at some point and asked.
Lao Xie glanced at him, then at the others, and said, "This bell is made of fine copper as a whole, and thirteen extraterrestrial meteorites are added to it. When the extraterrestrial meteorite was melted, one hundred and thirty-seven kinds of blood that the Pope had kept secretly were added, as well as forty-six kinds of blood brought by powerful people from other countries, or mutilated flesh and bones, or a certain piece of rusty iron and copper. ”
"These nearly two hundred kinds of blood, all of them are the flesh and bones of the blood that the Church and other countries have defeated the Awakened and then retained, or the fragments of weapons that those Awakened have used. ”
After ten years of casting, this bronze bell was finally cast, called the Alarm Bell of the Destruction of the World. The reason why it is called the destruction of the world is because every awakened person has the ability to destroy the world, as long as they continue to grow, their ability will become stronger day by day, until they can devour the entire world and destroy all living things. ”
"The alarm bell, as the name suggests, is that this bell will warn as soon as an awakened person appears. ”
"Because the bronze bell contains the blood and flesh of almost all the awakened people who can be known, as long as an awakened person of the same bloodline appears, the alarm bell will sound a long reminder. The most eminent alchemists of ancient Europe also designed a special listening tool for this bronze bell......"
When Lao Bao heard this, he said that the suitcase in his hand was lifted up and displayed, indicating that the tool was in his suitcase.
Lao Xie continued: "This tool can tell what warning the alarm bell is, in fact, the principle is very simple, the reason why the alarm bell will sound itself is because it feels the resurrection of the same bloodline in the distance, and the same bloodline in the bell body will be inducted, so it will ring automatically. This tool can be used to determine which bloodline has been resurrected by the sound of the bell. ”
"And the hint I just got is that the god-king is resurrected, and the spear and shield are out. So, if nothing else, our king of the gods, Zeus, has been resurrected on the Olympic Mountain, and has obtained his weapons, Thunder and Aegis, we are in big trouble. ”
A black young man frowned and said: "The Awakened are indeed troublesome, but since they have appeared, they can only take advantage of the weak period of their awakening to mobilize everyone to beat the Awakened and kill the Awakened at the lowest cost." Otherwise, it will be troublesome to let him go through the awakening period. Vice Principal, we have immediately informed the Senate of the news of this, and asked the Senate to gather men to kill the merry king of the gods. ”
The Vice Principal shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "I did plan to do this before, but now ......"
"But what?" asked Chu Yanqiu.
"But not anymore, it's an internal affair of our Jasmine Academy. The vice principal said helplessly.
Arthur was surprised, "Why?"
"I told you before, tell you to go back to bed, you don't listen to you and you don't know what's going on. Curiosity kills cats, and now that you know about it, it's up to you. The vice principal said.
As a referee, Chu Yanqiu knew more things than anyone else, and even some teachers didn't necessarily know as many secrets as him.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Article 7, Paragraph 3 of the Dark Charter of the United Nations: The country or organization where the Awakened appear, the country or organization has the obligation to kill the Awakened, and the Free Alliance of the Alien unconditionally assists. ”
The vice principal habitually touched his chin and said with a smile: "Yes, it is the provisions of the Dark Charter of the United Nations. That's why I asked you to go back to sleep just now, so that the three of us know that we don't have the ability to kill the Awakened, so we can naturally hand it over to the Senate to deal with. ”
"But not now, according to the provisions of the Dark Charter, our school is also an independent organization, and our school's strength meets the minimum standards for killing the awakened. This will have to be led by our school, but we can apply for the help of the Freedom Alliance of the Strangers. ”
After the vice principal finished speaking, he looked at the students with a sad face, but there was a gloating look in his eyes.
However, the students did not show any frustration or fear, on the contrary, many of the students showed excitement on their faces, and seemed to be ready to fight at any time.
Vice Chancellor: "......"
"Aren't you afraid? It's Zeus. Among the known Awakened are the most powerful Awakened. What's even more terrifying is that, as far as I know, there is no information about Zeus in the organization. No one knows how the first Zeus was killed or what his abilities were. But what is certain is that killing Zeus will kill many people. ”
The Vice Principal wanted to scare the young students, and although he knew that a few of them had already fought to kill the Awakened, most of the others were older children who had never seen blood.
But he was disappointed that he was able to pass the assessment of the Senate and become the first batch of students to enter the Jasmine Academy to receive elite training, each of which was a gifted and powerful ability.
This group of geniuses who are proud of the sky, and they happen to be the age when newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they are more and more proud in their hearts, everyone thinks that they are invincible in the world, how can they be frightened by the vice principal?
On the contrary, they felt their blood boiling and their fighting spirit was full of fighting spirit, and they wanted to rush to the Awakened now to fight for three hundred rounds and declare their great power to the world.
As soon as the vice-principal looked at the students, he knew that everything was in vain.
These strong-blooded children...... Wasn't that the case with me at the beginning?
The vice principal looked up at the dark night, and there was a rare feeling of emotion.
