Chapter 68: Genesis
Countless balls of soul light surged and converged, flying into this Netherworld City forged by frost.
The chilly mana fused with the soul light ball, and in the next moment, one by one the frost lives with a dark blue body were born.
Just as the forms of the people of the flames and the people of the Dark Spawn are very different, the postures of this group of new beings are also strange.
However, most of them are in wolf form or werewolf, half-human, half-wolf posture.
The tundra is not a jackal head like Anubis, but a werewolf in earnest.
The wolf's head is human, and his hands and feet are also covered with dark blue wolf hair.
Figuratively, it is a fusion of Warwick and Nasus, standing straighter than Warwick and more than Nasus.
In addition to the life of the giant wolf and werewolf form, there are also bear-like and bear-human forms, most of which are orc postures.
When they became conscious, they shouted in unison:
"We are the children of the underworld, the people of winter, the spirits of the permafrost! The guardian of the Netherworld, the Frozen City, our lord, is the King of the Frozen Underworld. β
The frozen ground also entered the frozen city when the people of winter shouted loudly.
Since then, the Qin people have single-handedly forged four cities.
The city of Ascension, which represents the land of the gods.
A castle in flames that represents the pillars of the sun.
The city of the Demon Tide, which represents the pillar of the Demon God.
A city of tundra that represents the pillars of the nether.
The people of the Ascension, the people of the flames, the people of the Darkspawn, the people of winter.
This is the first group of people used by the Qin people to weave the myth of the yellow sand world.
If the language they use is English, it will be more inconsistent.
Although this is more convenient, the Qin people always feel that something is not right.
In Chinese?
No, he doesn't want to use the language and writing of the earth world.
He wants to develop a new language in the Yellow Sands world.
After all, if the language and writing of a world are all from the outside world, it always feels that something is not quite right.
So, what form is used as the main form of language?
Ideograms or ideograms?
There are many kinds of phonetic scripts, ideograms, and the more well-known ones in the world are cuneiform, oracle bone inscriptions, and the like.
And the well-known ideogram that is still in use today is Chinese characters.
No, the kaomoji is also an ideogram, and in a sense it is more well-known than kanji.
The ideogram was chosen, starting from the pictorial form of the oracle bone inscription, and finally there were two ways of development.
The first is that, like most ideograms in the world, they eventually developed into phonetic scripts.
Second, it's like Chinese characters.
Although ideograms and phonetic scripts have their own advantages and disadvantages, for the Qin people, it is better to create phonetic characters, after all, it is less difficult to create a phonetic script than to create an ideogram.
The use of a small number of letters is competent for the task of recording the language, which is easy to learn and use in terms of quantity, easy to sequency, and objectively operable.
It only takes a little modification of the form and the alphabetical order of the combination to form a new meaning.
In the case of ideograms, the amount of glyphs required is very large.
The Latin alphabet used in English and French, the Slavic alphabet used in Russian, and the Arabic alphabet used in Arabic and Uyghur are all phonetic scripts.
As for how to transform, for the Qin people, it is also a very simple matter.
After all, among the people he killed, there was naturally no shortage of people from all over the world, and there was no shortage of linguists.
You don't need to create a new alphabet and grammar by referring to the Slavic alphabet, the Latin alphabet, and the Arabic language.
Before the construction of the four divine cities, the Qin people had already created the written language, and all the new life he created, the default language was also this new language.
And the naming is also very simple and crude.
Huangsha letters, Huangsha characters.
And the reason why Qin made new characters was not for anything else, but for weaving myths in the yellow sand world.
In the middle of the Ascended City.
In the midst of a huge temple-like building, yellow sand surged to form a huge book.
On top of the giant book, from the first page, columns of text gradually emerge, from left to right.
Such an anomaly was discovered by a Ascended People.
After the birth of this ascended people, he witnessed the sight of the four god cities falling on the earth, and his heart was surging.
After the great vision of the gods, the Creator, the Supreme Will, and the three gods disappeared, and the three gods returned to the three pillars of heaven on the outskirts of the Ascension City.
Not knowing what he was supposed to do, he arrived at the temple in the middle of the Ascension City.
He didn't know why, but he just wanted to come here.
Darkly, he sensed that he needed to be here.
Then he saw the huge book.
Inexplicably, the curiosity that emerged in his heart brought him closer to the book.
On the cover of the book, there is a column of text.
The ascended people knew these words, and they were innately understood by him.

Then, I saw the text written on it.
[In the beginning, the void was chaotic and the abyss was boundless, and there was only Him. γ
He said, 'Let there be a dwelling, and there is a world.' γ
[He saw the world only for himself, and felt lonely, so he said, "Be another like me."] γ
[Then, the God who burns with fire and diffuses light emerges from His body]
[Say, "O High Will, my Father, for what did you create me"]
[He has the first name, the Most High Will]
He said, I don't know, I want anything else to keep me company.
[The burning god says, "Then you need to give me a name"]
[He said, "Then call it 'purgatory.'" γ
[And the god who burned the fire said, "I am the only one, or too little."]
[He thought so, and then, out of His shadow, came out of the black God]
[The black god said, "Ah, my father, my brother, I also want a name"]
He said, "Call it 'the end.'" βγ
[The burning god and the black god asked, "Where shall we live?" βγ
He said, "One of you is on my side, and the other is on my side"]
And the god of fire, and the god of black, stood on either side of him. γ
[On the side of the burning God, everything became bright, and He said that it was 'day']
[On the side where the black god stood, everything disappeared, and He said it was 'night']

PS: Originally, the prototype of the Winter People was Freljord's big group, but after the setting was written, I realized that the Winter People, especially the werewolf-like Winter People, are similar to the NPCs of the FGO Permafrost Empire.
However, as long as the setting is in a cold place, it will inevitably involve warm settings such as fur, which is also quite classic and old-fashioned.
PS2: This kind of myth is quite touching to write, and the ancestor myth of Gu Zhenren is super impressive.
