Chapter 374: The Truth of the Destruction of the World
The old leathers were supposed to have been made of special materials and techniques, and although they had been soft and tough for three thousand years, they were barely damaged except for some discoloration, and the handwriting on them was slightly blurred, but they were easy to read on closer inspection.
Of course, there is a difference between the ancient writing of 3,000 years ago and the written writing of the dream plane now, but as ascetics, the bearded people usually study all kinds of ancient scriptures, especially the religious classics handed down from ancient times, are all written in this ancient script, so as long as he can see the words on them, these things are easy for him to recognize.
What was sealed in the sacred cave was not a new tradition of gods and goddesses at all, it was just a message, written by the first pope and handed over to his successor.
The bearded man slowly read out the contents as he looked at it: "...... We come from the stars...... All life in the world originated from the starry sky...... The goddess created all life, but in the beginning, she created only seeds......"
"What does that mean?" The young nun next to her didn't seem to quite understand.
As a person who has witnessed the sea of stars with his own eyes, Hao Ren understands these things obviously more easily than the four ascetics: "It means that all the life on your planet comes from outer space, meteorites or something, you know?" They brought it down. ”
"The goddess created the seeds," the bearded man continued reading, pointing to the words on the leather, "and she sowed them to the stars and multiplied on planets suitable for life." We are all the children of these seeds, the creations of the goddess, but also the dregs and fragments of a whole system. ”
That's it. The things on the message are not much different from the existing Radiant Sect texts, except for the difference in wording. But the content behind made everyone's eyes instantly stern: "...... I'm leaving this message here, hoping to open this cave for the second time. The races of the world have been revitalized, and we do not seek to reach the level of ancient civilizations, but at least hope that mortals are strong enough to delay those ancient powerful creatures, and to delay our angry 'brothers'......
"Once upon a time, when our world was desolate, the stars were desolate and dead, without any life, and the Goddess was born out of darkness, the first of the stars to be a spirit and a being. He is the King of kings, the blood of all bloods, and the spirit of all souls. The goddess was dissatisfied with the silence of the stars, so she created seeds that crossed the starry sky and sowed life on various planets. These seeds fell to the earth and evolved into a tide of blood that contained life, and the most primitive life forms evolved from these liquids and gradually took over the earth—I call the seed that first landed on our planet the primordial seed, and it is the origin of all the creatures on our tiny space pumice. Whether it is a great man or a pawn, whether it is a demigod or an ant, whether it is you and me, whether it is grass or trees. It all comes from this seed.
"The grave sin of the ancient Magic Empire was not to create a perfect life, not to set foot in the realm of the gods—they were guilty of a greater sin: they found the remnants of the flesh of the primordial seed and began to draw strength from it. Even try to control zhì divine power!
"The first seed is the blood of the goddess, an extension of the goddess's body. It contains the most primitive and direct divine power, and can even be regarded as the goddess herself. The Magical Emperors were bewitched in some way. Arrogantly trying to reshape their own bodies with these flesh and blood, and even trying to use their mortal will to erode and control this sacred remain, in order to truly turn themselves into gods. Their blasphemy against the primordial seed is the root cause of the calamity.
"What I am going to talk about, no matter how unacceptable or unbelievable it may seem to you, is 100% true, and it is the true evolution of life on our planet......
"We are not the firstborn - the first seed has evolved more than one season of life after landing on the earth, and in the age when the tide of blood is at its thickest, the oldest and most powerful guardians were born, who evolved in the primordial seed to flourish, and thus with more primitive and pure power, and with the strongest devotion and faith to the Mother, that is, the Goddess. I call these ancient creatures the firstborn. These firstborn have ruled the world beneath our feet for millions of years, and it is not until they get tired of it and fall asleep en masse that other small lives are born from the tide of blood that has become thin, including us. We weak mortals are only second sons.
"The arrogance of the Ancient Magic Emperor angered the eldest sons who were sleeping in the depths of the earth, and they sensed that someone had destroyed the structure of the primordial seed, and they all awoke from the earth and began a slaughter.
"The imbalance of the function of the original seed also led to the tide of blood to start to rage, and the remaining life force in the tide of blood evolved into another catastrophe of destruction, from which appeared monsters with short lives and strong corrosive power, they were full of hatred, and the only thing they wanted was to destroy the rebel son, if according to the evolutionary era, this should be the third son.
This is the truth of the annihilation: the whole world is not in a sea of fire, but in an ecological disaster.
"This catastrophe destroyed almost all of the second season of life on the planet, and the furious eldest and third sons vowed to completely reshape the ecological structure of the entire planet, and we should have been completely cut off from this catastrophe, but the mercy of the goddess saved us one last time: she sensed the mass extinction by some kind of security device set up in the original seed, so she actively activated and forcibly stopped the activities of the firstborn, and the third son died quickly due to life failure. Our world has survived.
"Those foolish Magic Emperors failed to break the safety device of the original seed, and that should be the only good thing they did - I found the working safety device from this cavern and took it away from this dangerous place, so that the sleeping eldest son would break it in his dreams and wake up prematurely. However, the security device must not be too far from the sealing ground, so it should be properly housed in this cavern with one hundred kasawi (ancient units of measurement). If one qiē shun lì, in your time, this safety device should be called the ancestor of life, and it will function normally for the time being. ”
The bearded man's breath was trembling, and the breath of everyone around him was trembling, not only because of the shocking truth, but also because everyone had a bad premonition. The young nun picked up the last piece of leather and had a premonition:
"The safety device is only one of the 'organs' of the original seed, and after the destruction of the original seed, this organ can no longer be immortal as it was originally designed, and according to my calculations, its current remaining life period is ...... Three thousand years. ”
"Grunt", Becky's drooling voice was particularly loud.
"The eldest sons are about to wake up, and after the safety device, the Progenitor of Life, stops signaling suppression, they will resume their activities and carry out the unfinished ecological remodeling project. According to my research, the first to stop the function should be here, and the other two should be stopped after one year and three years later. But even if only one of the eldest sons awakens, it will be enough to cause a catastrophe. ”
"But there is no need to despair, we should have allies, according to some ancient accounts, some of the higher civilizations from the stars have made a covenant with our world, they are the 'second sons' from other planets, and know more about the secrets of the goddesses and the firstborn of the gods than we do. When the suppression signal stops, reinforcements from other planets will arrive in our world on silver ships to help us destroy the firstborn: the latter can only be safely killed when he is awakened, and will fail sooner or too late.
"I've pieced together this information from all sorts of ancient records, and there should be some details in it, but the key information is accurate. But these things are so shocking that they can cause despair to all mankind, so I have consulted with my old friends not to hastily expose them to the world. If I am a qiēshun lì, I will establish a sect in the world, make a will for generations, tell the truth to the world for hundreds of years, and promote the revitalization of the mortal race as much as possible, so that I will be able to defend myself in the face of the first wave of attack from my eldest son in three thousand years. But if an accident happens, the inheritance I left in the world is broken, and I also leave all kinds of inducements and arrangements, hoping that at least one person will come to this cave, and my last words here can make you understand the fate of this world.
"Finally, if anyone does see this, please greet my brothers in the stars on my behalf, and thank them for keeping the 10,000-year covenant - although it was the sinful magical emperors who made the covenant with them, at least our world will be saved by this covenant.
"If the disaster is really passed safely, I hope that those who come after will remember one sentence: the fall of the firstborn does not mean that we mortals can be arrogant, we must always remember the awe, if we repeat the mistakes of ancient civilizations, the true wrath of the goddess will come to the world sooner or later."
The leather covered with words fell silently on the altar, and the young nun muttered to herself in a hoarse voice: "...... Inheritance from the outside world...... It's been broken for a long time......"
(On this day of universal celebration, I actually coded words at home...... (To be continued......)
