Chapter 16 On the Gods
Although Paul Jr. admires Isennas's combat mentality, he still has his own problems.
"Since this waterfall spirit is so difficult, why don't we bypass it?"
When Isenas heard little Paul's question, he was very pleased and said, "I've been able to ask beautiful questions, little Paul, I'm very happy that you have grown up." ”
Then he began to explain: "First of all, the first point, I don't know why, is full of disgust for the adventurer, which is the root cause of our inability to avoid fighting him, and the second point, do you think you can not step into the river? We don't know how long we have to go forward, we can't go without drinking water." So getting rid of it is inevitable. ”
Little Paul looked at everyone's reactions, and found that everyone didn't show a sudden realization, and immediately leaned against the tree like a salted fish, and muttered to himself: "Sure enough, I'm the only one who is really stupid, my IQ is actually negative, let's go home and farm, this kind of life is not suitable for me at all." ”
Leo smiled and patted little Paul on the shoulder and said, "It's already very good, at least as far as the fledgling adventurer is concerned, you are the most advanced I have ever seen, these are just experience problems, sooner or later you can make up for it." ”
Isenus took out the map at this time, compared it silently, and suddenly said, "Don't you think what we experienced is very problematic. ”
"Is there anything strange about that? I think it's normal. Leo leaned over to look at the map, but Isenas pushed him away.
"Old Mo, you have more knowledge, you can come and see. ”
"This is the entrance to Tonya, here we see the first monster that exceeds the general concept of Warcraft, it begins to develop in the direction of energy, and then here, we meet Menolis, between the two, although the Warcraft is powerful, most of them are still mortal bodies. But with Monolis as the dividing line, we began to encounter more monsters beyond the general concept of Warcraft, in the first half, plus the griffin guarding the gate, we only encountered three such monsters along the way, but in the second half, we encountered five times as many as before. Although it is still rare to be able to achieve energy, it is undeniably much more probable. We even met a very rare spirit of nature just now. ”
"When it comes to the temperament of the spirits of nature, they are all gentle and kind, especially the spirits of nature that have evolved from the water, and they are known for being helpful. But this one is obviously much more irritable, and it seems especially unreasonable and stubborn. ”
"There must be something in front of you that is affecting the surroundings. Old Mo, do you know something?"
Omoni pondered for a moment, then picked up his wand and plunged it into the void, causing a ripple of space to ripple in the void.
After a few moments, Omoni withdrew his wand and said, "Do you remember the legends of the inhabitants about Tonya?"
"You mean, Tonya has a large number of thunder-attribute treasures hidden in it, and a void thunder hidden in the core of the waterfall?" "Do you know the origin of the Void Thunder?"
"No, I don't know. Omoni shook his head. "There are so many legends about Ray, and there is so little information in this legend that I can't tell them. But I have something else in mind. Let's move on, there's a lot to explain, so we won't waste time here. ”
Once again, the adventure party set off.
"Although we are now in a free country where worship in the gods is not enforced, it seems that you all know something about the gods, especially Ente. ”
Ente nodded and said, "I know a little more about the sect I used to be in. ”
"There's a lot to know about the gods, and all you know is scratching the surface. Like, do you know the types of gods?"
"Do you mean the god of battle, the god of auxiliary, and the useless god of waste?" asked Leo.
"No, of course not, it's just a division of the gods' functions. ”
"In the system of divine powers, the gods are divided into three categories, the first and most numerous, and they are called believing gods. They are not born to exist, the origin of such gods is a certain intelligent creature or high-level demonic beast, and after his followers worship him day and night, they break through the boundaries of mortal beings, ignite the divine fire, and ascend to the throne of the gods. This is the kind of god that Ente once believed in, and the gods of beauty, war, and thieves that we usually hear about are also in this category. Their strength starts as legends, or in other words, the lives that have not reached the legend do not have the power to ignite the divine fire. ”
"The second category is conceptual gods, which are legendary legends such as Lady Luck, the River of Destiny, the Dragon of Eternity and Time. They are often the embodiment of a concept, which has existed in the void in the distant past, and it has only been a long time before it has a suitable vehicle to manifest in the human world. They do not need to believe, they are detached from the world, and they only appear when something closely related to their ministry occurs, giving a small gift to the designated person. In terms of strength, these gods are often unrivaled in their strength, but fortunately they easily do not participate in the conflict of belief in gods, which makes the world a little quieter. ”
"The last type of gods is more closely related to our current situation, they are called nature gods, their priesthood is not the only one, such as the river god, there are three different river gods recorded in history, and the mountain gods are countless, the rarer ones are the earth gods, the wind gods, and other gods with a little conceptual point. They have no fixed entity, they do not need faith, their strength is erratic, and they are often just the embodiment of a certain piece of natural consciousness, and the purpose is only to benefit the creatures of this area. ”
"Remember the spatial rift that the griffin found? It pointed to a space full of thunder, at first I thought it was some elemental attribute space, but now it seems that it may be some thunder god's kingdom. ”
"According to the spatial coordinates, the density of the monsters using energy points to this kingdom of the gods, which explains why the creatures here are powerful and strange. When it gives back to the space and strengthens the creatures here, the creatures in the space will also serve it, such as the griffin, which is generally regarded as a heroic spirit in the Kingdom of God, and it looks like it should be a gatekeeper. The spirit of the waterfall just now can be regarded as a servant god in the kingdom of God, and if the god of this space is in the depths of Tonya, it is not difficult to understand why he would intercept us. ”
"As for Menolis. Omoni paused for a long time before he had an answer.
"Do you remember one of its own narratives? It claims to have touched a solid fulcrum in the void, and I am afraid that this fulcrum is this kingdom of God. And don't you feel strange about its power? In the space where it is located, the energy is not concentrated, and the range is not very large, how can such a powerful creature be bred? I venture to guess that what Menolis is doing unintentionally is stealing the divine power of this kingdom of God to feed itself, and the race to which it belongs may be even more terrifying. This is also the reason why it is used as a boundary, and the quality of the Warcraft before and after is far from the problem. ”
"According to the attributes of strength, this divine kingdom in front should belong to a thunder god. How about it, friends, are you ready to explore the kingdom of a god of nature?"
As soon as Omoni finished explaining, everyone became excited, no matter what kind of god it is, the thunder god in front of him is a true god, and the entrance to the passage to the god of belief is usually tightly controlled by its believers, which makes everyone who has a desire to explore can only be discouraged, and now that there is an opportunity to explore the mysteries of the kingdom of God, they will naturally not stop.
Little Paul didn't get much excited because he had no concept of the kingdom of God, but pulled Leo and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't Isenas speculate about these things? Is it because Old Mo is smarter than him?"
When Leo heard this, he smiled and asked rhetorically, "What do you think it takes to make a reasoning?"
"Smart?" little Paul thought for a moment, then changed his words: "It's quick thinking and quick response." ”
"Mental agility and responsiveness are important, but they are not even the third most important. You remember, the premise of any reasoning requires a lot of clues and intelligence, and imagination will only get farther and farther away from the truth. Omoni knew far more about this than Isenus, but if it weren't for Isenas who was suspicious, Omoni wouldn't have been able to think of the kingdom of God anyway. So if you want to be successful in reasoning, then the first point is to train your observational skills, in this regard, there are several of us combined no one can compare to Isennus, since he is teaching you, you have to learn from him. ”
Paul Jr. nodded, and asked, "And what about the second point, and what does the second point need to be done if you want to reason like Isenas did?"
"The second point requires a proper logical line of thought, which has a bit to do with your experience, everyone thinks about the problem from a different point and the point of view, which requires you to experience more. Leo touched little Paul's head encouragingly. "One day you will be as strong as we are. ”
While everyone was discussing with great interest, Nana suddenly spoke.
"It seems to be raining up ahead, do we need to take shelter?"
It's raining?, Isennas looked at the sky.
The sky was still blue, a few clouds drifted through the sky, the wind was beautiful, the years were quiet, where was it about to rain?, but after experiencing the world of flowers, Isenus did not dare to take Nana's feelings lightly, and immediately asked Ente to climb the canopy of the tree and look into the distance.
"Yes, it's raining ahead, but strangely I don't see a single cloud. ”
After Ente landed on the ground, he reported to Esenas about the situation.
"I can even see a rainbow"
Omoni asked, "Where is the direction of the rain?"
"In this direction. Ente pointed somewhere. "It's about fifty kilometers from us. ”
Omoni looked at the direction that Ente was pointing to, and said clearly: "It's the direction that the spatial coordinates are pointing to, so there should be some anomalies there." ”
"Then what are we waiting for?" Leo said excitedly: "Hurry up, the treasures in the kingdom of God are beckoning to us!"
It is only natural to repay debts.
P.S Easter eggs pay homage to Sin City and Bleach and there are plenty of small easter eggs in the early chapters.
