052、Problem and Puzzle (2)
"Illusion?"
Talos was confused by Urban I's answer, how could the Illumination, which could stir up trouble on the main material plane, and be resurrected many times under the joint strangulation of the Church of the Gods, be just an illusion?
If he remembered correctly, there was a group of evil gods behind the Illuminati who could compete with the gods, and the members of the Illuminati might not know, didn't they even know about that group of evil gods?
"If the will to truth in the mouth of the Illuminati is just an illusion, I wonder what the truth is?"
Urban I looked at Talos and did not speak, saying everything with his eyes.
"Okay, I see, and with my current strength, I'm not qualified to know, right? hell!" Talos said angrily as he put his hand on his forehead and said angrily, "For the sake of the soul fire, then tell me what I can know, the more detailed the better." ”
"It was a very ancient history, probably the end of the Immortal Era when the six primordial gods took care of all beings, and the beginning of the Primeval Period, when the two major god systems of dragons and titans dominated the world. Urban I finally spoke, "The two legendary creatures of dragons and titans, as well as some creatures with enough talent and luck, began to search for the path to immortality, and the gods were born in this world for the first time. ”
As Urban I said, no one in this world is born with gods, except for the dragons of light, darkness, earth, water, sky, and fire, and Talos guesses that they are called primordial gods because of this.
"The gods gather faith, extract divinity from it, use divinity as a material to sublimate souls, light divine fires, hold high thrones, and dwell in the outer planes overlooking all beings. All living beings were delighted to see the hope of immortality, until one day at the end of the primeval period, someone accidentally discovered that the gods were not the only path to immortality, and most importantly, the path was wrong-"
"The Seven-Day Bible?" Talos guessed.
Rather, someone who reads the Seven-Day Bible and discovers a problem with it. ”
Talos' eyes lit up and he stared at Urban I without blinking.
"The origin of the Seven-Day Bible is very mysterious...... "Urban I paused, and Talos thought he had probably omitted some of what he was not qualified to know now, "it was found in a primordial plane, carved into seven stone walls in the language of ancient dragons. ”
Ancient dragon language?
The four-armed Naga frowned in deep thought, this ancient language is said to have been passed down from the six primordial gods, and it is hard not to guess that the Seven Days Bible is the handiwork of the six primordial gods, but Urban I's secretive attitude just denies this.
Damn, damn it, damn it, after solving the matter of the Frost Holy Crown, you must try to find a way to grow [Lazy], Talos is really fed up with this bad feeling of having the answer in front of him but not being able to check it.
"Reading the Seven-Day Bible has yielded only two outcomes, the first is a tragic death, which is the most common, and the second is access to some kind of information contained in it, which is very rare. ”
Talos nodded, as evidenced by the 99.99% mortality rate of the Truth Initiation Ceremony.
"The first person who did not die after reading the Seven-Day Bible received three other ways to attain immortality, and he succeeded, but his unique method caused panic and hostility among the gods, and was denounced as an evil god. ”
"I don't understand why the gods are reluctant to accept a new approach if there is a real problem with their path—" At this point, Talos suddenly remembered a possibility, "Is it possible that changing the path will have to pay a very heavy price, the kind that even the gods can't afford?"
"It's more complicated than the whole thing, and there are other very important secrets involved. Urban I didn't explain much about this, but continued, "In the time that followed, the ranks of the evil gods slowly grew, established the Holy Land, and founded the Illuminati, but they were surrounded by the gods and struggled to survive. ”
"Wait! I've read in your diary about the Holy Land, and the Frost Crown is a treasure from the Holy Land. Talos interrupted Urban I and asked incredulously, "Are you a member of the Illuminati?"
"It used to be. ”
Urban I didn't seem to be very willing to talk about this past, and answered Talos's doubts in a short word before moving on.
During this period, the first evil god fell, and before the complete fall, he combined his will to pursue the essence of the world and fight against the gods with a passage in the Seven-Day Bible, and succeeded in creating a special melody, which is the first movement of the "Sonata of Truth", "Revival of Revelation". ”
After that, a number of evil gods fell, some of them incorporated their will into the first movement, and some imitated the first evil god and successfully combined the will with other passages in the Seven Days of the Bible, forming the other three movements of the current "Sonata of Truth", "Truth Enlightenment", "Ragnarok", and "Solstice to the Black Star". ”
"So—" Talos flicked his tail twice hard, making a crackling sound on the magic carpet to express his displeasure, "The most important part, why does the Seven Days Bible have all kinds of strange abilities that can't be told to me now, isn't it?"
"Trust me, Talos. Urban I looked into Talos's gray-blue eyes, "This arrangement of mine is definitely the result of repeated thought, and you will understand in the future." ”
Urban I's expression and tone were so sincere that he managed to remind Talos of Leonhard, who often comforted him when he cried as a child, and if he continued to pester, he would seem to be too vexatious.
There was no way, Talos muttered a few words and reluctantly skipped the topic: "Okay, I see, go on, you once sternly warned latecomers not to read the Seven-Day Bible in your diary, so what about me, can the Chosen One be an exception?"
"Let me guess, you must have used the power of the Seven Days Bible to kill people, didn't you?" said Urban I, instead of answering directly, he asked rhetorically.
Under the gaze of Urban I, Talos nodded a little weakly and admitted, "That's right, twice. ”
The first was experimental, targeting two Bruce-arranged assassins, and the second was deliberately targeting Chast.
"There should be no problem, right?"
"No, according to my surmise, the problem will definitely not be with the Chosen One. Urban I sighed and said with envy, "Sometimes I wish I hadn't discovered that secret when I read the Seven-Day Bible." ”
"That's good. ”
Talos knew that Urban I would never tell him what the secret he had just mentioned was, but fortunately he didn't find nothing, at least when he came across another Seven-Day Bible.
"But I have one more important doubt. After my experiments, the Seven-Day Bible was always effective when I was on the main physical plane, and even killed a high-ranking mage when I was only in the second order. But when I descended my consciousness to other material planes to collect beliefs, I didn't—"
"Stop, Talos!" Urban I had a look of fear and shock on his face, and hurriedly floated over, trying to gagged Talos with his hand made of light and shadow, which had no substance, "Don't say it, stop it!"
Talos was taken aback by Urban I: "What's wrong?"
"Sweep this question out of your head from now on, and at least don't think about it until you can match a powerful god. ”
Urban I looked up at the sky uneasily, his body flickering violently, even more so than when Talos first mentioned the Seven-Day Bible.
"Listen, Talos, I'm not only a member of the Illuminati, but also an evil god in the mouth of the gods, and it's because I fucking understand the problem in your mouth that I became what I am today, do you understand?"
