Chapter 1346: A Fateful Encounter
"Interesting...... It turns out that the original life of this world also came from another world. It was their god who brought them from the shattered world. ”
Closing the last book in his hand, Luke subconsciously stretched, his tone revealing a strong surprise.
Because he had always thought that the inhabitants of this world should have been born in this land, but who would have thought that these guys were no different from the Darents, and they were also a group of out-and-out invaders.
And in the process of invasion, he first played the weak side, deceived and paralyzed the real aborigines who were still in the form of primitive tribes.
After the initial difficult phase, the mask of hypocrisy was torn apart and a genocidal purge was launched.
The elderly, the children, the women, and the young men who could be used as slaves all fell under the weapons that far more than one civilization had been created by themselves, and even the souls were sacrificed to the gods who were still in a weakened state.
Under the continuous killing, the number of real indigenous inhabitants is getting smaller and smaller, and the living space is constantly compressed, and finally it is inevitable to completely extinction.
As described in the books, the expansion of all civilizations is accompanied by killings, blood donations, and deaths.
The only difference is that some civilizations, after victory, will give a little "mercy" to the loser and allow the other party to join in, while others will eliminate the loser once and for all, and will not allow the other side to have even the slightest respite.
What's even more interesting is that these outsiders are still complacent and record the entire conquest process as a kind of bragging rights.
But only a few thousand years later, the Darrants were repeating the scene.
Only this time, it is no longer the true indigenous people who have died out, but the former perpetrators of the abuser.
Needless to say, the books in this ancient library satisfy Luke's thirst for knowledge and secrets, and give him a new understanding of the land beneath his feet, which is on the verge of destruction.
But unfortunately, due to the influence of powerful divine power, most of the data in the library is related to gods, or belief power systems, but there are very few books on magic.
Even if there are a few, they are intended as a supplement to the system of belief power, rather than as an independent system for in-depth study.
You must know that the biggest difference between the belief power system and the magic power system is that the former is a relatively easy system to popularize, as long as the gods are strong enough and the number of believers is large enough, it can quickly spread and firmly occupy the dominant position in a society.
The disadvantage of courage is also obvious, that is, those who use this power will never be able to surpass the gods, let alone have the capital to challenge the gods.
After all, most of the user's power comes from the gods, and once the gods take back this power, the user will fall from heaven to hell in an instant.
The diametrically opposed is magic, a force that is universal throughout the universe and is characterized by the difficulty of getting started, requiring not only considerable talent, but also unimaginable exertion, and it can never dominate society like a belief system unless it reaches a certain stage of development.
Generally speaking, users of magic are mysterious and unknown, or they like to deliberately appear mysterious, on the one hand, to avoid the harassment of ordinary people, and on the other hand, to deter those with bad intentions.
The most important thing is that magic is a force that cannot be ruled by anything, not even gods.
Therefore, in places where theocracy flourishes, the development of magical power is often suppressed very strongly.
But once the divine power collapses, magic will quickly get rid of its original subordination.
Judging from the collection of magic books in the Great Library, in fact, the world, both in terms of the number of spells and the depth of research in magic, began to erupt after the Darrants destroyed the original order.
In other words, those primitive theories of magic were not as advanced as the theories of magic that were now circulating outside, and they were also far less powerful than the new spells that were developed later.
Thankfully, though, there's no single path to magic like belief systems.
No matter how backward the theoretical knowledge and spell models are, if they are not from the hands of a spellcaster, they can more or less serve as a reference.
As Luke lay on the dusty floor, looking up at the exquisite reliefs and frescoes on the ceiling overhead, a deafening roar suddenly sounded at the end of the corridor.
Boom! Boom!
With violent tremors, the only exit to the outside world seemed to be blocked by something huge.
When Luke saw this scene, his pupils suddenly contracted, and every nerve in his body tensed involuntarily.
Because it wasn't anything else blocking the entrance, it was the two huge statues he had awakened in the first place.
Obviously, it is impossible to defeat them with just a few bionic alchemy puppets, otherwise it would not have dragged on for so many days, and they couldn't even enter the gate, someone else must have discovered this place.
When the noise and tremors had finally calmed down, a short black figure came slowly, and exclaimed in a tone of surprise: "Ah! I have found you at last, my dear brother. ”
The words just fell!
He stepped out of the shadows and revealed his true face, a boy who looked exactly like Luke.
That's right!
It's exactly the same!
Whether it is height, facial features, or even the eyes that are known as the windows of the soul, there is not much difference, it is like looking in a mirror.
"Who are you?!" Luke felt himself drenched in cold sweat.
He could clearly feel that this was not magic or shapeshifting ability, but the most primitive appearance of the other party.
What's even more terrifying is that the surging magical power contained in the other party's body is almost dozens of times more than his own.
"Hehe, relax, I said, we are brothers. Don't you feel the innate attraction of the bloodlines? I am not your enemy, nor have I come to trouble you, but to seek cooperation. Only when we join forces can we do something earth-shattering. ”
As he spoke, the boy kept moving forward.
When he was less than ten meters away from Luke, the latter's hand suddenly began to flash a blinding bright light, followed by a warning: "Stop! Don't come any closer! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! Whatever you want to say or say, stand still." At least until I figure out who you are and what your intentions are. ”
