At the beginning of the universe, only Azathoth existed. From Azathoth came "Darkness", "Nameless Mist", and "Chaos".

The blind and foolish Azatoth initially gave birth to "Darkness", and "Darkness" gave birth to the "Supreme Mother Goddess" Shabu Niggurath (Shub-Niggurath), who was very fertile. It is said that she gave birth to almost all of the Old Dominants, including Cthulhu, and all of life.

The Nameless Mist gave birth to Yog-Sothoth, the "Key to the Door", the existence of the Silver Door Key, knowing all the time and space. And "Chaos" is Nayarathotep, often referred to as the "messenger", a symbol of ridicule and contradiction. The human avatar he (it, he, he) often uses is a tall, dark-skinned, pleasant-looking lanky man who was once worshipped in Egypt and is said to have pushed for the invention of the atomic bomb in order to allow humanity to self-exterminate faster and complete the task of "the Great Cleanup".

In the Tales of Cthulhu, characters may be confronted by the Old Rulers or other cosmic races due to too much probing or some opportunity, and most of them end up dying and falling into madness.

Lovecraft himself did not intend to systematically organize the legends he created. In a letter to J. F. Morton dated April 27, 1933, he laid out some of his foundational ideas for the Cthulhu Mythos system. After his death, Auguste William Dresser put his system in stock and came up with the title "The Cthulhu Mythos".

But the Cthulhu Mythos is not a myth in nature, but a legend. Mythology is a type of folk literature. The collective oral creation of the people of ancient times. Includes stories of the gods and heroic legends of apotheosis. [1] Legends are also a type of folk literature. It is a narration of people and events that have been circulated among the people for a long time. Some of the content is based on specific historical figures and events, while others are purely the product of fantasy. [2] It can be seen that although the Cthulhu Mythos is translated as a myth, it should actually belong to the category of legends, and the Cthulhu Mythos should be a system of legends, not myths.

Some of the themes in this system may be reinterpretations of myths and legends from around the world, such as Itakua the Old Ruler, who is based on the legendary North American snow monster Wendigo.

After walking out of the hotel, James was talking eloquently about the brainwashing of Cthulhu culture, which Zhou Ruocheng was a little tired of.

"Sir. . . What is this Cthulhu culture that Master James is talking about? Zhao Qingyuan has always heard it in the clouds.

"Just assume he's a legend." Zhou Ruocheng said helplessly.

"Cthulhu is an evil god who flew to Earth from an alien planet. gram

Lack calls him the son of Jorge Sothoth, and in the setting of August William Dress, Cthulhu belongs to one of the old rulers, the water god among the four factions of the old rulers of "fire, wind, earth and water" (although this statement is very unreasonable and is not accepted by most people), and the old ruler of the wind element, Haast, is his cousin and mortal enemy! Still, James heard it, and began to talk eloquently, "He was sealed in the ancient city of R'Lyeh in the deep sea of south-central Pacific Ocean due to a star error (or the work of the old gods), in a state of suspended animation, unable to move, but never really dead, but constantly dreaming—the sea shields this mental fluctuation, but it is often felt by those of the world who are artistically gifted, mentally sensitive, or neurologically abnormal, and thus appear in their dreams the images of the cities of Cthulhu and Liye, Eventually, he became seriously ill, comatose, and even insane. Combinations of demons and art are by no means uncommon, but it is not quite true that people incur madness in order to pursue art and make a contract with demons. A new interpretation is that art is a by-product of the madness that manifests itself naturally from demons. Like other gods in the Cthulhu mythos, Cthulhu's ill will towards humans is unwarranted. It is said that once the star position is correct, Cthulhu will awaken and surface with the city of Lalaye, and humanity will perish. And according to "Call of Cthulhu", Cthulhu's viscous body is not made of matter from earth, and his body structure can be destroyed, but it cannot be destroyed. It is also said that Cthulhu was not only the ruler of the old days, but also the leader of an alien civilization in prehistory. Cthulhu also gave birth to three sons and a daughter (all Old Dominators) with the twin star Xoth and the female Elder Dominator Idh-Yaa: Ghatanothoa, Ythogtha, Zoth-Ommog, and Cthylla... ”

"Alright, alright, alright Master James..." Zhou Ruocheng said a little helplessly: "Since you mentioned this matter, you have been talking to us about your so-called Cthulhu. Could it be that Master James, that's why you went to study biology because of this? ”

"Yes." James replied proudly.

"Uhhh Zhou Ruocheng was also a little speechless, this is like a man who became a hero of the world, and was employed by 10,000 people, when someone asked him why he wanted to be a hero, the hero replied: In fact, because of handsomeness, you really don't have any ideas except for a sentence of MMP.

"I'm studying this to prove the existence of the old rulers of Cthulhu." James replied.

"So have you confirmed it?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"No, I'm here for all of this

During college, I even volunteered at sea in order to find their existence. James asked.

"But Master James, you also know that when you encounter them, you fall into endless fear and even lose your life for it, even so, do you still have to find the so-called truth?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"Science has been crazy from the beginning! Just as we and my whole family believe in Jesus, I have as much respect for Cthulhu as Jesus, and I will spare my life for it! Just to take a look at it. ”

"Although it may be rude for me to say this, but this is like that Atlantis, no one has found it until now, if you are really interested in this aspect, Master James. Why did you set up a research institute in Shanghai? Could it be that there are one or two old gods or old rulers in your research institute? ”

"It's okay Mr. Zhou, you are not the first person to ask me this question, what those people said is even more than 11 times worse than yours, but I also want to affirm one point, scientific exploration is based on the unknown, it is because of this consistency, so it stimulates people's curiosity, just like someone said that the interior of the earth is magma, we only exist on the surface of the earth, there are too many unknowns on the earth, no one has really been to those places, so there is no absolute."

"Scientific rhetoric is meant to be refuted by others, and only the most convincing conclusion is the truth that everyone believes." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"That's right, it's exactly what you said." James smiled, "I like you more and more, Mr. Zhou, you are really a very good person." ”

"No, no, no, no, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Zhou Ruocheng smiled helplessly: "I just like to listen to stories." ”

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about something more realistic." James coughed "I've always wanted to be recognized by a person who is just as scornful of my research as my father, and if I can get his approval, then my research will be better carried out because research requires a lot of money. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ruocheng also knew James's intentions... To put it bluntly, I came to myself as a lobbyist.,But what you say rarely seems to be convincing.。。。

"Mr. Zhou, you don't have to reply to me now, after seeing my research institute, I think you should understand my thoughts." James also said.

"So who do you want me to talk to?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"I think you should be very familiar with this person, Mr. Zhou. . . ." James said: "This person is Lin Yixuan. ”

"Ahh Zhou Ruocheng laughed helplessly, "Sure enough, it's him again." ”
