Chapter Seventy-Six: Evolution
The screen is a penny again, and the epoch change begins.
The sins of the world poured out, all kinds of monsters evolved under the earth, the stars in the sky kept fighting, and from time to time there were gods who burst into flames and fell into the world.
Hundreds of city-states have sounded the horn of war.
War, man to man, polis to city-state, god to god·······
There were dead people, burning fires, and the sound of crying everywhere.
Finally, the living deities, with the dead deities in front of them, are sacrificed under the auspices of the new god king.
Not only are gods sacrificing, but people are also sacrificing.
The slaves had their throats cut off, their chests and abdomen cut open, and their hearts removed, and the experienced priests smeared the idols with the blood of their hearts.
Then there were skilled veterans, who peeled off the human skin intact, draped it over their bodies, and danced in the crowd to entertain the gods. The arms, thighs, etc., of the offerings are roasted and divided among those of position before the remainder is distributed to the people.
Thus, the festival-like celebration reached a climax.
The dead gods accounted for the vast majority, and their divinity, divine bodies, and divine power were returned to heaven and earth, so that a small half of the sins were appeased, and all the surviving gods were about forty percent of the sins.
In the name of God, the world is at war, and the sins are gradually subdued and dissolved by the continuous death of the dead····· This in turn dissolves three percent.
In the end, the remaining thirty percent of the sins were suppressed by them themselves, and they continued to wear them away with divine power by the accumulation of time.
Every epoch has come this way.
At the end of the epoch, God will face the total outbreak of all the sins that have accumulated throughout the epoch.
"You see, the so-called sin is also a kind of power, but it is negative, and it will lead to the destruction of the world, so when it accumulates to a certain extent, it must be cleaned up, so there is an era change."
"Most of the gods, who do not understand this, exercise authority but fail to fulfill their obligations, and this leads to iniquity."
"The priesthood is originally given by heaven and earth, and the gods who can have the priesthood are all those who are loved by fate, you must know that among the thousands of demigods and true gods, how many priesthoods are there in total? Counting some of the useless, it's only a little over a hundred. ”
"To hold the priesthood is to shoulder the responsibility and obligation to maintain order in this world, and the gods themselves are symbols of order."
"You are worthy of the priesthood, this is meritorious, therefore, for thousands of years, there are few sins, even if there is an occasional mistake or two, it will dissipate by itself, the merit is far greater than the fault, you will be able to easily pass the end of the era."
"This is your original solar reincarnation, which is actually a concentrated catharsis when the contradictions accumulate to the point where they can no longer be suppressed, eliminating all unqualified gods and reducing the burden on the world, so that you can continue to live·····"
"But not now, the two worlds merge, the key is that your side is actually the annexed side, so you can't wait for the end of the era········ After all, it took too long for the epoch to come to an end, and until now there were still most incompetent gods holding on, and their reserves of divine power could still last for a long time, and we'd even—"
Lin Zhengyang pointed to the sky above his head and gestured:
"It makes no difference whether the heavens, or the will of the creator God, you imagine······· Obviously, this one is not going to give you that much time. ”
Enix nodded hesitantly:
"Every epoch comes to an end, and it does go on for quite a long time."
"The earth will gradually become desert, nothing will grow in the soil, and the newborns will get older and fewer, until everything is destroyed, and this process will probably last for tens of thousands of years, until most of the area becomes a desert."
"I've sworn to protect children, so I know all newborns are born, but over the years, there are fewer and fewer healthy newborns, and it's hard to survive, and only 200 newborns were born in the whole of Tatami Castle last year, which is already very dangerous."
"If this continues, by next year, there will probably be no newborns."
She said worriedly.
Because of her priesthood, her divine powers are closely related to children.
Without a newborn born for a long time, she will fall into weakness.
So she remembers these things very well.
Lin Zhengyang stretched out his hand to erase the image in front of him and replaced it with a new image, this time a bird's-eye view of the entire continent.
A miniature sun shines on a three-dimensional holographic stereoscopic image.
At this moment, Lin Zhengyang felt a special will projected.
Subtle, seemingly hostile, yet jubilant, quite complex.
Lin Zhengyang had felt it several times before, this was the original will of this world, of course, it should be called the will of this continent now.
Lin Zhengyang continued to explain:
"My Spirit ascended into the air, and flew in heaven, looking down upon the earth."
"Vast rainforests, dense swamps and mires, wild beasts inhabiting everywhere, and hundreds of city-states dotted the land."
The images are constantly changing, showing miniatures of rainforests, swamps, beasts, and city-states, all brought to life.
This is Lin Zhengyang's projection of what his spirit has seen during his travels between heaven and earth.
This is not difficult for the gods.
Enis can do the same.
I saw her observing the three-dimensional image with great interest.
"I've speculated about the reason why this world fell into the end of the epoch, even if it was counted in tens of thousands of years, which was too often······· Why did the sin accumulate so quickly that it had to be sacrificed suicidally to keep the world alive? ”
"Until I discovered the tradition of blood sacrifices."
The blood light spread from the dotted city-states one by one.
The color of blood is shocking, and the accumulated resentment is buried deep in the earth, silting up little by little, causing deep and heavy sin.
"But the fact that too frequent blood sacrifices are an important reason cannot be counted as the main cause, at least not the main cause of the depravity of the gods."
"I looked at the war, and I needed to explore history, so I went to the library."
"I found something very interesting - wars between city-states, quite a few of which are meaningless."
"The pointlessness here is that I mean killing people purely for the sake of killing, and with the tacit approval of God, all the city-states are at war with each other, with few exceptions."
"This part of the senseless war is the complete destruction of the city, the destruction of the royal palace, the destruction of the temple, the destruction of the temple, and of course, the slaughter of the entire population of the city········ This is especially important, but I don't understand why. ”
