Chapter 577: The Fourth Dimension of Initial Expansion
Plato said that the Greek goddess Athena and the Libyan goddess Nath were the same god. It is not entirely incomprehensible that this artifact, known as the Stone of Gorgon, was excavated in Africa, but it became something related to the Greek goddess.www.biquge.info
-- Almost all the Greek gods were found from abroad.
The gods and warriors in Greek mythology have always been introduced from this place in the ancient world. If you follow the legendary birthplace, whether it is Egypt, Libya, Babylon, Syria...... Or various other places, it is likely to be involved.
It can be said that Greek mythology is the result of the typical introduction of myths from various places and peoples for their own use. Foreign myths and concepts of godhead are directly introduced by the locals, or new concepts of godhead are born by combining legends, or a powerful concept of godhead has a different nature.
This is the essence of the change and change of mythology, regardless of the era and the country, it is basically human beings who give names and myths to gods. A powerful god who threatens and sometimes bestows favors on mankind. In primitive times, they didn't even have names. Mankind has simply found the form of a god in the vast sky and the earth, fearing the storm and flood brought about by the wrath of the gods, and worshipping the dangerous and powerful beasts as if they were the embodiment of the gods.
However, over the course of time, humans have given the gods names and made up myths for them. Pei Chen has explored some monster systems, if it is not a purely inhuman thing, then many times the relationship between monsters and humans is a balance between one side to bring panic and one side to offer fear. The same is true of gods and humans, but fear has been replaced by faith.
It may have always been the weaker side, but humanity is not completely defenseless. After all, it is the existence of the hegemony of the evolution of intelligent life on this planet, and its collective subconscious has even given birth to one of the restraining forces of the eighth sense, alayya, which the Buddhists call it.
-- The concentration of the mental will of billions of people, not to mention the creation of the physical laws of the dream world or the distortion of the real world, the negation of the basis for the occurrence of certain events that are not good, and even enough to alter the records of myths and legends that are not true.
In other words, if it is not a true god and demon immortal Buddha involving the taboo level, it is just a diversion myth born from the projection of information derived from the origin of the myth, then the alaya consciousness can be completely mixed in and modify part of the information to a limited extent, for example, using myths to strengthen the functions of the gods and restrain the actions of the gods, after all, everything is based on the premise of preserving human reason.
The existence of this collective of consciousness of all human beings, called alayya, exists, even if it is not awakened and has no subjective action, but it does exist. And that's why human beings are able to weave myths, otherwise, it would be a bit too much to take for granted to use fabricated myths and legends to restrain the powerful creatures that have been running on the ancient earth in the era of ignorance.
Isn't the so-called myth essentially a ritual produced by human beings to prevent the divine power of the gods from becoming too powerful?
There are many more concrete examples of mythological vicissitudes and changes, as in the case of King Mekar and Veleslana. The former, that is, King Mecal, was originally a heroic god of Canaanite mythology, a god-king worshipped by Semitic languages such as the Phoenicians, a king of gods, a great warrior, and the strongest hunter of dragons.
However, in Christian culture, he is also the gluttonous king, one of the seven deadly sins; Milton's Paradise Lost depicts him as a demon king on a par with God; Beelzebub, the king of ghosts; The head of the seventy-two pillars of demon gods, the Great Emperor of Darkness, Baal. Moreover, it is said that the legend of its dragon slaying is the prototype of St. George.
As for Verethlana, it is not only the ancient Persian military god in the East, but also said to have the same origin as Indra, the Thunder Emperor in ancient India. There are actually many such messy myths and legends, far more than these two examples, to be honest, anyone can find a lot of them if they have the heart.
However, Pei Chen is not a person who has come to apply for those special positions in the Exploration and Compilation Committee of the Official History, and is determined to become a useful person to society and learn the mysteries and myths of ancient and modern times.
He finally understood why this obsidian chapter called the Stone of Gorgon was still so attractive to his current self, no wonder it was called the most ancient 'snake'. I am afraid that from ancient times to the present, all the elements of the 'snake' in this world have been recorded here, and it has become the godhead concept of the extremely terrible snake god.
It's just that it lacks a strong sense of spirituality and relative independence, and this thing can't self-integrate the elements of those chaotic concepts of the 'snake'. But now that it has fallen into Pei Chen's hands, this is not possible, at least he can completely extract the mysteries and refine them into his own power core, and complete the concept of the existence of the ancient snake.
-- Snakes.
The posture of the ring-shaped Ouroboros biting its own tail appeared in his consciousness, and faintly, a realization suddenly appeared in the mind of the monster. Maybe for humans in ancient times, there was probably no more magical animal than snakes, right?!
Born of life, grows, matures, ages, and then dies. The same is true of the four seasons, which grow in the spring, flourish in the summer, bear fruit in the fall, and wither in the winter. Therefore, it is a 'snake', and only a snake that has undergone several molts and continues to hibernate and awaken is a creature that symbolizes the cycle of death and resurrection, and the change of seasons.
Compared to the oxen, sheep, and pigs, which symbolize a good harvest and love, the snake is a true god of reincarnation, which has both the blessing of life and the death of calamity.
For ancient people, strange and mysterious creatures like snakes were very rare. Keep molting the skin and shedding the shell. In the winter there is a long sleep, and in the spring it wakes up. It's like being resurrected from the dead. It's like a true immortal god who has easily crossed the gap between winter and spring.
"Time, ......" sighed, Pei Chen quietly observed the posture of countless snakes emerging in his mind. Some are vague shadows, some are lifelike totems, starting with the ancient worship of snakes, and the snakes' posture has changed over time. Instead of being weakened, the divinity is accumulating more and more, but it is also becoming more and more obscure.
Slowly, after some vague outlines that even Pei Chen felt familiar flashed, no trace was left. It's just that the ancient belief in the snake god has transitioned from the flying Quetzalcoatl god to the evolution of the winged serpent, so the snake worship has gradually transitioned to the age of the dragon. That's right, isn't the so-called dragon a winged serpent?!
However, Pei Chen didn't care about such a thing, he was just surprised that his own power seemed to have been redistributed again, and what was the various powers was so compatible with the snake totem. Before, he thought that it was because he had swallowed the blood of Chiyou's demons, so he had a connection with the concept of the godhead of Chiyou, the warlord of this world.
In addition, Emperor Gou Chen Tiandi was also in charge of the military revolution in the world, and the field overlapped with the priesthood such as the God of War and the Lord of War, so he also understood the later things along this line of thought. But now it seems that it is not only the power of Gou Chen to erode and assimilate the power of the Eight Masters, but also has a tendency to almost merge with Taiyi, and his own concept of the snake god is also an important factor.
Only after a few molts, the snake that constantly hibernates and awakens in a cycle itself symbolizes the supernatural phenomenon of reincarnation, which is almost perfectly in line with the way of time that Pei Chen himself has explored and the power that he later snatched from the Lord of Time among the Eight Lords, and completely smelted together.
The death of calamity, that is, the god who controls death, belongs to nature and the underworld. Moreover, the underworld imagined by the ancients is basically a dark underground existence, so the power of the landlord and the yin lord are dominated and assimilated by the essence of the 'snake', and even far beyond the power and realm of the night represented by Athena.
The grace of life, which later evolved into the stage of winged dragons and snakes, represents the domination of the sun and the sky in the human world, so the power of the sun and the power of the god is then dominated and assimilated by this nature, and the relatively independent power of the divine power has been transformed into a breath-like powerful and natural instinct.
……
After such a back and forth, Pei Chen was surprised, just after capturing the extremely mysterious consciousness and absorbing it into his own soul will, what happened next happened so naturally, and even before he could stop it, his power was redistributed once, and almost formed a perfect trinity system, whether it was the ancient snake, the emperor or the incarnation of the Dao, they were all opposite to each other and interdependent, supporting each other's godhead concept.
For a moment, he felt as if he had entered a completely new world, and he still couldn't tell if he had really entered a higher realm, or if he was washed away by the mystery in the holy relics that recorded the wisdom of God, and the illusion generated by the memory of his heart?!
Nayako from the outside world had her eyes wide open, staring at the youkai who seemed to be wandering out of the world with her eyes closed, and in her opinion, this guy was just crushing a black stone, and then grabbed something from it, and then the whole person was contemplative. Then in less than a second, maybe it was the blink of an eye for these people, and the qi in Pei Chen's body suddenly rose to an extremely terrifying height, and it became faint and ethereal.
But in her eyes, this guy did seem to have an epiphany, suddenly broke through some barrier, and then entered another realm?! However, getting so close, she didn't find any momentum on the other party's body that shocked and frightened the living beings, or any changes in energy fluctuations, but I was afraid that it was not reflected in the changes in physical attributes, skill values, etc.?
Ah?!!hh Naiazi was so angry that she finally felt that she had finally caught up with a little bit, but the other party seemed to be preparing to take a taxi and left.
That's right, even Naiako from the outside world seems to have achieved a certain realm in an instant, so he can't stop it at all, he can only react enough and watch, if it comes naturally, no matter whether this change is good or bad, he can only fully accept it.
Immersed in the feeling of being incarnated in heaven and earth and light and dust, Pei Chen finally saw the long river of time that he had glimpsed before under the vision of his soul spirit again. Sparkling, I don't know where it starts and I don't know where it flows, but it flows quietly with sighs and vicissitudes, and the infinite unconstrained radioactive diversion extends, covering all concepts of existence and non-existence.
But this time it was still a glimpse, and it disappeared completely after just one glance, but after all, it was not as good as before, this time Pei Chen recorded that scene very clearly, not only sure that he was not hallucinating, but also sure that he was indeed watching the long river of that time.
The final sight is the invisible strings of fate vibrating, resonating with other moments and the world very faintly. However, Pei Chen is not sure what it represents for the time being, if it is said to be a multiverse resonance, it is obvious and impossible, so the weak amplitude is the degree of ripples in the small pond, no matter how you look at it, it cannot become a tidal wave that affects the entire ocean.
I don't know when I'll be able to watch the years that don't exist from a detached perspective, or that it would be nice to be able to watch for a few more seconds.
When he opened his eyes, he didn't have time to smile happily for a moment, and he felt that his body was empty, as if the surging energy and monstrous demon power had completely disappeared at this moment.
In the face of such a situation, no matter how many mysterious truths he has just understood, he is not calm at all. After all, all changes require energy, at least before they can modify the essence of the law, if they don't even have demonic power, the problem will be troublesome, can they really always follow the path of physical enlightenment?
Anyway, let's see what's going on first.,If it really doesn't work.,Just solve it directly after returning to the space at that time.。
The next moment, he calmed down and first opened the data template and watched it. Immediately after that, Pei Chen's eyes were a little weird, because the demon power value displayed on the panel still existed, and there was no special hint of infinite space. This shows that he is only perceiving confusion, and not really losing the attribute energy he has mastered.
Waving his palm, he still felt that his body was empty and it was difficult to contact the demon power, Pei Chen frowned and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He tried to relax his control over the space-time realm, and the next moment, the vast * mana that was almost overflowing appeared in his body again.
It's as if when he wants to control space or time, he will automatically switch to another form of energy consumption, and the previous demonic power can no longer come in handy, and the only thing that can be converted and transformed is the essential vitality and common spiritual power.
"I see, is the way of time finally a small success?" After figuring out the truth, Pei Chen was surprised and delighted, "It's just that I didn't expect that what is consumed at this point is no longer conventional energy, but the negative entropy in the universe...... But I've finally come into contact with the power of the law level......"
He couldn't help but be amazed, and then looked down at the silver-haired girl on the floor who was staring at him with a strange face like a nervous person, and showed a grim smile, reaching out to rub the other party's long silver hair again. At the same time, he found that when he was concentrating, he was able to see multiple faces of an object at the same time.
Or rather, he saw the innumerable details of that object in the three-dimensional world.
Pei Chen can see all the sections of any object, and can see the inside of the object while seeing the surface of the object. Just as he had just looked at Nayako, he could even see her skin, muscles, internal organs, bones, bone marrow, and other anthropomorphic body tissues, which would be lined up on the extra dimensional horizon that he currently had.
It was only after reaching out and taking one stone after another and reconfirming it several times that the youkai began to feel slightly tired. It seems that he has not fully opened his fourth dimension, and he can't maintain such a supernatural state all the time. It's better to say that this kind of performance is still an ability of his, rather than a certain state of his.
