Chapter 704: The God of the Incas
"What do you know about what happened to me?"
The priestess, who called herself Tasimma, asked, looking curiously at the modern amenities around the room and the bustling city that she had never seen before.
For her, who has been imprisoned for thousands of years, all of this is like a scene that only appears in a dream.
Perhaps, as the saying goes, when technology develops to a level that many people can't understand, technology is equivalent to magic in their eyes.
Obviously, San Juan, with its skyscrapers, electric lights, automobiles, and 10,000-ton ships, was enough to shock the ancients who lived more than 1,000 years ago.
Because in the era in which she lived, the most splendid building created by the American Indians, the pyramid temple, was only a few tens of meters high, and the population of the city could not exceed 500,000, which could not be compared with the dense population of millions in modern society.
It's like a person in the 21st century who suddenly arrives in a future world hundreds of years from now, and even powerful supernatural power users can't help but sigh with emotion.
Zhang Cheng sat on the chair and admired the change in the other party's expression with great interest, and after a long while, he said with a smile: "I don't know much about you, but I know from a small number of ancient murals that you once slaughtered your compatriots in a city, and then you were imprisoned by an unknown god. You see, with the arrival of European colonizers, the entire system of American Indian civilization completely collapsed, and no one even knows what those knotted ropes recorded, let alone whether the Inca civilization invented the corresponding writing and writing system. ”
In fact, there has been a debate in the academic community about whether the Inca civilization invented writing.
Some scholars believe that the extremely complex knotted notation method is to some extent equivalent to writing, but simply incomprehensible to anyone other than the highly educated Inca ruling class.
There are also some scholars who believe that the Inca civilization, whether it is the ruling structure, or the astronomical calendar, architecture, and craftsmanship level, could not have been without the corresponding written support, but the things that recorded these words were too fragile to be handed down.
Either way, it doesn't matter to Zhang Cheng, what matters is the unique supernatural power system that was lost with the fall of the Inca Empire.
"I see...... No wonder I feel like the seal is getting looser. ”
The priestess's pupils showed a strange vertical pupil that only reptiles could have, and her face showed undisguised schadenfreude.
I have to say that the power she has is very powerful, even if she exists in a soul state, she can still maintain a relatively stable external form, and she can also touch and pick up items through the situation of the force field, which is no different from a living person.
"Why, is it possible that the demise of the Inca civilization is a good thing for you?" said Zhang Cheng with interest.
Tasima shook her head expressionlessly, "No! I just think it's ridiculous. A group of fools who valued faith above all else, and were ruthlessly abandoned by their own gods, must have been in great despair and remorse at the time. ”
As far as I know, there are still some gods who choose to stay and help believers escape from the hunt. Unfortunately, they were so weak that they all died in fierce battles, and some of them were crafted into powerful magical items. But on the whole, you're right, most of the gods abandoned the Indians, and it seems that faith should be dispensable in their eyes. With that, Zhang Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth and showed a smile full of playfulness.
"Hahahaha! I don't think you know the gods of this land, do you?" Tasima laughed happily for some reason.
"Oh, why don't you give me a brief introduction. Zhang Cheng continued to guide the topic.
He had a hunch that he would get a lot of secrets about the American continent from the other person's mouth.
"You just need to know that except for a very small number of original gods, the vast majority of the gods we believe in need of faith, otherwise they will decline and fall into a deep sleep. But it is interesting to note that those gods who do not need to be believed, including the primeval god of creation, Pachacamak, the sun god Inti, etc., have long ceased to answer the prayers of believers. No one knows where they went, let alone whether they were dead or alive. As for the gods who were born later and required mortal sacrifices, they were not worthy of being called gods at all, they were just mortals with great power like me. ”
As she uttered the last few words, the priestess's tone was full of contempt and disdain.
Zhang Cheng undoubtedly admired this attitude towards the gods, and echoed without thinking: "That's right! The so-called gods are nothing more than a group of special beings with extraordinary powers. As long as we can solve the mysteries, we will be able to replace them, or even surpass them. Dear Tasimma, I think we should form an alliance against the hidden gods together, using their blood and corpses to pave the way to the apex of power. ”
"You want to kill the gods?" the priestess smiled when she heard the words of "great rebellion", instead of showing the slightest fear.
"Why not? In fact, I've had experience killing gods, albeit a bit of an opportunistic one. Look, that's what I got from them......" Zhang Cheng slowly raised his right hand and released a dazzling divine light.
When Tasima saw this scene, her pupils suddenly contracted and dilated, and it took about two or three minutes before she exclaimed in a trembling voice: "Divinity!!! you actually seized the divinity!"
"You have a good eye! This is indeed divinity! Now tell me, do you agree to an alliance with me? I promise that if you can provide accurate enough information, I will not only release you from prison, but also help you to complete your revenge. Zhang Cheng threw out an olive branch at the right time.
Undoubtedly, he was eager to know more about the primordial supernatural systems and belief systems of the Americas, and he also needed a few cannon fodder to test for himself how powerful the gods of this world were.
"Why should I trust you?" Tasima asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Hehe, no, you don't need to believe me, you just need to believe in the power I have.
You know that the world is no longer the world of a thousand years ago, and humanity is no longer the ignorant human being.
According to the current statement, the most important thing that determines the relationship between two people is never the promises and vows, but the naked interests.
Think about it, do we have a conflict of interest?
Apparently not. This means that there is no reason for us to turn against each other.
Think again, do we have common interests and enemies between us?
It's very obvious that it's the so-called gods, so we have both common interests and common enemies.
What else do you need to worry about in a situation like this?"
Zhang Cheng is like a famous devil from the universe where the Faren Continent is located, luring the other party into jumping into the trap he has set through eloquent demagoguery......
