Chapter 257 (History of Magic 2)
The Bright Feather Clan and the Dark Feather Clan led a group of aliens to the earth. They all took on the form of the Westerners of Earth, quietly lurked, and began to develop their powers. At that time, they raised the banner that the Academy of Magic was not the church, and the reason why they did this was because the people of the Western continent at that time only believed in magicians and did not believe in the power of God. At that time, there was a popular saying among the people of the West: "Do you want to know where God is?" Look at me, as long as you have talent, you and I are gods walking in the world. ”
It is because of this that they chose the Academy of Magic as the location of their first arrival on Earth. At this time, the Western magic civilization is so developed, but there are only five major factions, namely earth, fire, water, wind, and thunder, and these five factions have no light and darkness. Why? It is because these two elements are so difficult to control that many magicians have studied them, but they have failed, and the reason is that the stability of these two elements is much lower than that of the thunder element.
When it comes to cultivating magic, the most important thing is elemental affinity and bloodline inheritance. The so-called elemental affinity is actually the spiritual root in the mouth of the oriental monks, and what kind of attribute the spiritual root is, what system of magic can be cultivated. But this is not to say that one spirit root can only use one type of magic, and the others cannot be used. Rather, it means that the body can better absorb the magical elements corresponding to its spiritual root! But when using magic, you can use your own magic power as a medium to cast different types of magic, but the power of these magic is not too great, and only the magic of your own system can be exerted, the maximum power.
Moreover, the spiritual root is dual-lineage, that is, the dual-system elemental affinity, and the three-line is the three-system elemental affinity, and so on, there has only been one five-system great wizard in history, and his spiritual root has five attributes, namely earth, fire, water, metal, wood, and the legendary five-element spiritual root. But he is proficient in the five systems of magic of earth, fire, water, wind, and thunder, and is known as a magician of all systems. Of course they say it's all system, but it's not. Because they couldn't drive the two elements of light and darkness at that time, as long as they had earth, fire, water, wind, and thunder, they were all magicians.
The second is the power of the bloodline, both parents are magicians, and their bodies themselves will have a spirit root. To put it bluntly, it's like witchcraft cultivation relies on blood. But there is only a spirit root that does not have a true spirit root, although it is difficult to cultivate advanced magic power, but it is still possible to achieve a small success. However, there are exceptions, and some people with anti-spirit roots are unable to cultivate mana. (This kind of person has a nickname among magicians or wizards, Squib) who has a true spiritual root and no violating spiritual root, he can definitely cultivate to the highest realm, but this requires unremitting efforts. That is, a magician who has both a true spiritual root and a non-spiritual root, that is a genius among geniuses, and he will have great achievements in the future.
And the reason why there was no light and dark magician in the Western Continent at that time. It's because no one has an elemental affinity for light and darkness. From the perspective of the Eastern Cultivation Realm, there are no two spiritual roots, Yin and Yang. Not to mention the Western Continent, even in the entire Earth Cultivation Realm, it may not be possible to find a person with Yin, Yang, any kind of spiritual root, this is simply too difficult (at that time!). )。 Therefore, at that time, there were no light and dark magicians in the Western Continent. And in the Eastern Cultivation Realm, although he knows the way of yin and yang well, he can't find anyone who can use the power of yin and yang.
At that time, the banner of the Yu clan was to establish a magic research institute to study the two kinds of magic. The Feather Clan of the Light Faction established the Light Magic Research Institute, and the Feather Clan of the Dark Faction established the Dark Magic Research Institute. The Feather Clan itself is limited by the physique and bloodline. Originally, he was only proficient in two kinds of magic, light and darkness (excluding angels, the feather clan is the feather clan, and the angels are angels, the two races are not the same). In this way, it almost shook the entire Western continent. Many people came here to watch the two research institutes demonstrate the magic of light and darkness, and many colleges and universities wanted to send their students here to exchange and study in the name of exchange.
The Feather Clan was naturally welcomed, so the young talents of the major colleges and universities at that time. began to gather in these two magic research institutes to learn and communicate. A few years later, these young talents returned from their studies, and they were all proficient in all kinds of magic, whether light or dark. Subsequently, major colleges and universities began to send more students to exchange and study, and in this way, these two research institutes entered a stage of rapid growth, and soon became academies from research institutes, namely the Holy Light Magic Academy and the Dark Magic Academy, which are the predecessors of the Light Church and the Dark Church.
By 733 B.C., the power of these two universities had already occupied half of the Western Continent, and it was only then that the Cult of Deity realized that something was wrong. What's wrong? It's that these two colleges are growing too fast, and their development model is not to build, but to merge. That is to say, their development is not the establishment of branches as is the normal development, but the voluntary merger of many institutions into the two colleges. It is not uncommon to say that one or two, or even eight out of ten schools merge with them, but it is too abnormal to have hundreds or even thousands of large and small schools. It's incredible that in less than 40 years, it can develop like this! So the Cult of Nature at that time began to send people to secretly investigate this matter.
So why the Cult of Deism is so slow to respond is because the Cult itself is an extremely loose organization, and there is almost no systematic management structure. And the people in charge of the Nature God Sect are not fixed, they are almost changed every few years, and these principals are all some highly respected Sanctuary magicians. But what do these people care about all day long, not about teaching affairs, but about how to cultivate, how to alchemy (alchemy), how to research a new magic, how to research better potions, these are the things they care about.
So why change it every few years? It's because these people sometimes encounter problems, either they go to cultivate the True Star and don't come back, or they don't come out of retreat, it's him for a month or two, and it's him for a year or two, so a group of people will change within a few years. To put it bluntly, this shrine of the Cult of Deity has become a cooperative research institute for these old guys. Because of this, it was not until 40 years later that the Cult of Deity belatedly realized that something was wrong.
In fact, the reason for this situation is that it has a lot to do with the doctrine of the Cult of Deity, which believes in the abundance of heaven and earth, does not believe in gods, and only believes that everyone has the opportunity to become a god, so it is not a 'theocracy'. Figuratively speaking, the Cult of Nature is a 'big' student union (not a student union in China or a student union in the West), which is why it is so chaotic. It was also because of the loose management of the Nature God Cult that the Feather Clan had an opportunity.
Soon the people sent to investigate came back with the news, and the investigation showed that these merged colleges and universities have a common feature, that is, the senior management of these colleges and universities and many young talents have been to these two colleges to study and exchange, so the problem lies in these two colleges. But even if I know that this is the result, what is the reason for this result, but I can't find out. In this way, the matter froze, and years passed after such a delay.
In 726 B.C., the two academies suddenly rebelled, declaring their independence from the jurisdiction of the Cult of Deism, and establishing the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness to fight against the Cult of Deity. And each introduced a main god, but at this time they did not name the two main gods, but only said that one is the main god of light and the other is the main god of darkness, and what they represent is still the two elements of nature. The reason why this is so is that there needs to be a transition, so that the masses of the people can have a buffer period of faith.
In the same year, the civil war broke out in the Cult of Nature, and in 713 BC, the two major Holy See coalition forces attacked the headquarters of the Cult of Nature with an unstoppable momentum, and used the combined magic of the group to ban the spell 'Land Sinking Technique', sinking the 'Atlantis Continent' where the Cult of Nature is located to the bottom of the sea. Since then, the Cult of Deity has been torn apart and collapsed, and it is at this time that the end of the first golden age of magic has been announced.
The reason why the Church of Nature God was vulnerable in this war was because when the two academies declared their independence, seven out of ten magicians and countries in the Western continent had already surrendered to the Holy See. It is not for nothing that they would be so desperate for the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness. Because they have all received the baptism of light from the Holy See of Light, or the ritual of the 'Fall' of the Holy See of Darkness.
So what's going on? It turns out that the Yu clan has always had a technique in their 'original star', which is to use the angel reincarnation pool to create angels, which is simply to attract specific souls, enter the angel reincarnation pool, and become angels to serve the Yu clan. And the Feather Clan on the earth has established a simplified version of the angel reincarnation pool on the earth, and can directly call 'people' to enter for purification. After being baptized, the person will be loyal to the Light Feather and their loyalty, and will be able to use light magic. The 'Fallen' ritual of the Dark Holy See is actually much the same, except that the person who receives the ritual is not only loyal to the Dark Feather Clan, but also proficient in dark magic. That's why the Nature God Cult was defeated so quickly and so miserably!
(Angels and the Feather Clan are different, the relationship is very complicated, and it also involves a lot of secrets, as well as the origin of the Angel Reincarnation Pool, what is going on with Yahweh, the great light god of the divine realm, and the Feather Clan in the human world, why there are two major factions in the Feather Clan, there are too many of these things later!) )
In this way, after the Great War, the two Holy Sees began to dominate the Western continent. The remnants of the Cult of Nature were gradually hidden and transferred underground, which was also the first wizard hidden event in the history of magic! (To be continued.) )
