Section 404 Divinity, the shaped deity
The tallest building in the center, the temple, is tall and majestic, and it is very spectacular to pile up pieces of rocks weighing several tons by boats by huge rocks collected from far away, and then spend huge manpower and material resources to borrow various tools to pile up pieces of rocks weighing several tons.
In front of the temple there is a square, the square is made of pieces of cut smooth stone slabs, covering an area of dozens of acres, very wide, in the center of the square stands a huge stone statue.
The stone statue was created by the most famous stone sculptor of the Phoenicians. Brooks carved it with great realism, expressiveness, and even the subtleties are very delicately carved, such as the folds of the clothes that are blown by the wind, and the three-dimensional sense of the flesh on the arms and thighs through the clothes.
As we all know, whether it is painting, carving, etc., the most difficult thing to portray is the demeanor.
And, this statue, when viewed from the bottom up, from people's perspectives, the stone statue is full of the majesty of God, with eyes lowered and looking downward, revealing kindness to all beings in their eyes.
This statue looks closely, and it looks like Chen Rui a little bit.
The reason why there is only a seven-point statue, and there is still a difference of three points, is because the real Chen Rui has a sense of majesty compared to the stone statue, and there is no kindness to all beings in his eyes, and there is also a missing legendary divine sword hanging from the waist of the statue.
Around the shrine and the shrine square, there are stone houses.
Followers who claim to be gods live in these stone houses.
Chen Rui took Wren and Alyssa into the temple.
On the walls of the temple, on the stone columns, in the colonnades. There are various relief carved patterns. The pattern is carved very realistically. Expressive, detailed, and incomparably fine, representing the highest level of Phoenician architectural art.
Chen Rui looked around the temple and looked at some patterns.
The motifs depict scenes from various legends of the gods.
For example, in a colonnade, such a relief is carved in which the god stands in the void, towering and full of divine brilliance, holding a sword that shines with divine light. With a strong swing, the Excalibur splits through thousands of miles of darkness and chaos, and this relief depicts the creation of this world by the gods.
On a stone pillar, Chen Rui also saw such a relief, the god of heaven used the divine sword to split a crack on the continent, and opened up a whirlpool channel to the divine realm, connecting the water of the heavenly river of the divine realm, pouring into the crack, forming the 'Enzhuo' river that nourishes all living beings in this world.
In the temple. In addition to these two reliefs, there are also the gods who created all living beings. Empower all living beings with spirituality!! The gods bring light to this world and make it colorful! The gods used their immeasurable divine power to stop the Great Flood of Destruction and led the Great Flood of Destruction into the Endless Abyss, and the gods carved various scenes of legends and stories about the gods in the temple.
Even, on one wall, Chen Rui saw the relief pattern of the gods coming from the whirlpool channel.
Is this talking about me?!!
Chen Rui was a little dizzy.
Am I so awesome!!
A sword splits out a huge crack of 300 or 400 kilometers, at least to cultivate to the peak of practicing the gods and returning to the void, and master extremely strong swordsmanship, only a sword that splits out has such a strong power.
Except for the relief pattern of the gods from the whirlpool passage that has little to do with Chen Rui, the other relief scenes have nothing to do with Chen Rui.
The Phoenicians made up all of their own brains, attributing to the gods the phenomena they had seen beyond their knowledge, the whirlpools, the glowing objects in the sky, the endless abyss, the great floods that had occurred in the history of the Phoenicians, and so on.
In fact, not only did the Phoenicians make up these things in their heads, but our ancients also made up these things in their heads, for example, when a mountain flood broke out, the mountain god became angry, and the flood became the water god became angry, and threw young children into the river.
The Phoenicians did not realize that they had inadvertently departed from primitive nature worship and created gods without realizing it, shaping them into the image of the gods in their minds.
God has infinite mana, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, omniscient!! God is supreme and majestic, God is merciful, fair, and good to all living beings, and God praises all things that are good, justice, bravery, goodness, and God abhors all things that are sinful, hypocrisy, evil, cowardice.
They made the image of God.
There is a sentence at the beginning of the Chinese three-character classic, at the beginning of man, nature is good.
Everyone, like all, yearns to express the good side, the righteous side, and the good side, and the spurning of the evil side, which is reflected in the image of God they create.
The Phoenicians combined his image of the god with what they thought of as the god Chen Rui.
The divinity of God, infinite mana, omnipresentness, the supremacy of God, the majesty of God, and the praise of God for all good things were endowed to Chen Rui.
It is not so much that the Phoenicians created gods, but that the Phoenicians needed a god, a god who lived in their hearts, to give them spiritual comfort.
In fact, this is how all the gods on earth came.
People need a God to live in their hearts and to give comfort to their souls.
Chen Rui 'flew' out of the whirlpool channel, and in front of many people, he collected a large pile of offerings into the pregnant Haizhu space.
Chen Rui is their deity.
Chen Rui's status in this space is equivalent to the status of God in the West, Allah in the Islamic world, and the Jade Emperor of China, supreme and looking down on all beings.
The appearance of God.
Religions or churches inevitably arise, and faith begins to be established.
Chen Rui could imagine that in the future, countless temples would be established in this land.
Theocratic power will take precedence over secular domination, and the slogan of divine monarchy will be raised.
On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides shouted the slogan 'For the Gods' on the battlefield and frantically tore apart.
The Church will use the name of heretics, heretics, to carry out a brutal cleansing of the enemy.
The nobles and lords would use the slogan 'Eliminate heresy' to encourage their soldiers to wage war against hostile forces.
The shrine built at the source of the 'Encjo' River will become a holy place in the hearts of millions of devotees.
The items used by Chen Rui will become holy relics
For Chen Rui, his image of God is molded, representing the sustenance of the believer's heart.
Okay, though! I have been made divine by you, so I am God!
Chen Rui didn't deny all this, and he couldn't deny all this. (To be continued......)
