Chapter 63: The Collision of Fiction and Reality
Chapter 63 The collision of reality and reality with religious belief originated from human beings' ignorance and confusion about the laws of nature.
Because of their ignorance, they feel great fear and anxiety about things that cannot be understood and changed, such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the rotation of the sun and the moon, birth, old age, sickness and death, and they also have an irresistible sense of worship and worship for the incomprehensible supernatural power behind them.
Thus, faith was born, and human beings "looked up" to this great power with a reverent attitude, and developed a sense of trust and support for it, hoping to relieve their hearts of fear and confusion.
Especially in this chaotic world where monsters are rampant, unsolved mysterious forces are everywhere, and life safety is not guaranteed, the development of religious belief is even more unstoppable, and in a very short period of time, it has sprung up all over the world like mushrooms after a rain.
The opportunity for this is probably the first world-scale [virtual and real collision].
It was the beginning of the twentieth century, and a [Void Space] larger than the Earth collided with the entire Earth, and more than a billion people around the world were forcibly dragged into the [Void Space]!
Thus, the nightmare, which lasted for three years and three months, befell everyone on the earth.
It was also during those nightmare years that life on Earth entered a short but rapid evolutionary period!
Monsters evolve, humans become stronger, and the flame of faith grows.
Now, people call the world-class [Void Space] that appeared for the first time the [World Capital].
It was not until the occurrence of the second world-class [collision of virtual and real] in the forties of the twentieth century that faith was put into practice, divinity was revealed, and intelligent beings ignited the divine fire, ascended to the throne of God, and reappeared the glory of the age of the gods!
Since then, the gods are no longer imaginary, faith is no longer a simple spiritual sustenance, and the world has entered another era of rapid development and great change.
And this second appearance of the world-class [Void Space] is also named the [Kingdom of the Gods]!
As a result, there is a world in which "human beings provide faith for the gods, and the gods provide shelter for human beings".
……
Like Jingnan Town, it is because of the blessing of the goddess that this can maintain a place of recuperation in the land of monsters.
On the other hand, as soon as you go out of town, the protection of the goddess will gradually weaken.
Although Rowan does not believe in gods, he has to believe in the existence of gods after coming to this world.
The Goddess Church in Jingnan Town worships Artemis, also known as Diana.
Artemis is the goddess of the moon and the hunt, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus in Greek mythology, and is said to be the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Leto, the goddess of darkness, and the twin sister of Apollo, the god of the sun.
Artemis also symbolizes the purity and beauty of women, and is one of the three major places. One of the goddesses.
Of course, Artemis in this world is different from the [Moon and Hunting Goddess] that Rowan learned from Greek mythology.
According to historical records, she is supposed to be an intelligent being who inherited the goddess of the moon and the hunt in the second world-class [Collision of Void and Reality], and although she is named Artemis, her real name is unknown.
Not only Jingnan Town, but in fact, the entire Qingyue City, including Jingnan Town, believes in Artemis!
And the Evergreen Province, to which Qingyue City belongs, is the three major places of the overall faith, including Artemis. Goddesses, so collectively called [Goddess Religion].
……
"Goddess Teachings, Goddess ......"
Rowan repeated it silently several times, but suddenly remembered a sentence that he heard when he first came and said something that someone didn't know:
"Just complete this device before the second exam......"
"The second exam? Isn't that the Teachings of the Goddess? What does the installation they have to complete before the second exam have to do with The Teachings of the Goddess? ”
Rowin looked at the stakes and wanted to use [Deep Analysis] on them.
However, it is too far apart, although [Depth Analysis] does not need to touch objects with your own hands to distinguish like [Analysis], but there is also a distance limit, and the position he is in now is really not good, and there is a distance from each stake.
"There's a stake over there that is very close to the iron door in the corridor, I'll exit here first, and then go to the iron door, as long as I can see the stake through the crack in the door, I can use [Deep Analysis]. At least it's better than knowing nothing about it right now. ”
With the initial plan in mind, Rowan immediately prepared to act.
He took out the Hunter Badge and wanted to take back the [Firedemon Slime] outside the window.
But then after thinking about it, he gave up on that decision again.
The location where the [Firedemon Slime] is hiding is quite hidden, and coupled with its small size, it will not be easily discovered for a while.
Leaving it here now would at least serve as an eyeliner and prevent someone from going out through the iron gate and colliding with him.
After thinking about it, Rowan moved his steps and quietly exited the water storage room.
After returning the same way, Rowan walked out of the security door and walked up the stairs instead, but after he turned a corner, he saw someone pouting his ass and leaning through the iron door to take a look through the crack of the door!
Rowan was slightly frightened and hurriedly stepped back, he was only distracted and used the eyes of [Firedemon Slime] to monitor the situation on the rooftop, but ignored the fact that there might be people outside the roof.
But doesn't that man look like he's standing guard?
As soon as this thought came to mind, the person who was peeping in front of the door turned his head in a ghostly way, and happened to make eye contact with Rowan.
The two stared at each other, Luo Wen was still able to stay calm, but the man suddenly reached out and covered his mouth, so he didn't scream.
"Rowan? Why didn't you take the exam? ”
"After the exam, hand in the papers in advance and go to the roof to blow the wind."
Rowan turned his mind and said in a low voice.
"Ghost letter! Can you finish the test in just over half an hour? Did you find out too? I remember one of the ...... from your class."
The person who peeped was none other than Ye Long, Li Yun's best friend who was still in his mouth just now.
This Ye Long seemed to have just arrived, he pulled Rowan into the safe passage, and lowered his voice to question.
"Who are you referring to? I really finished the exam. Rowan spread his hands and said he was not lying.
Ye Long pouted for a while, but he didn't believe it at all, he just changed his appearance to be worried, and said to Luo Wen: "The one in your class is called Chen Xiao, right?" Did he also get a number plate, but didn't take the test? ”
This time, Rowan nodded.
"I knew it was so." Ye Long sighed, "I suddenly saw Li Yun appear this morning, and I was as happy as if I was something. But he ignored me. He was in the same exam room with me, and I found out that he didn't come to the exam, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. Later, because I was too irritable, I held back in the classroom for half an hour, but nothing came out. In the end, I couldn't hold it back, so I scribbled something casually and handed it in......"
"And what did you find?"
Ye Long shook his head and said, "I applied some grimace snake's liquid on Li Yun's clothes before, and I just followed here. The crack in the iron door was so small that I could only see something like half a stake. ”
