Chapter 182: The Road Ahead
"That's right. Nowadays, many people think that magic and fighting spirit come from the gods, but in fact, it is the opposite. The Prophet said, "When we first gained the power to become gods, we used our natural powers very extensively. Even though we've been working together for many years, we've developed some very rudimentary techniques.
For example, the first magic of the god of nature is a spell called the long grass technique, which is used to make the weeds on the ground grow wildly, and the first magic of the god of war is called the head mallet technique, which is to turn his head into energy and fly out and hit the enemy, the reason why he does not use his fist is because in this way he can control the direction of the head flight through the brain that flies out together. There is also the Grim Reaper who invented a magic called the Dance of Death, which is to make the dead stand up again and dance with their hands. And I gained the ability to turn back time by five minutes. ”
Xiao Chen and the others were stunned as they listened to the prophet talk about these unimaginably beautiful spells, and the original sense of awe for the gods in their hearts completely collapsed.
The Prophet added, "Later, the humans on the ground gradually discovered the remaining magic in the air. They began to learn to apply these powers.
They were roughly divided into three factions, one of which tried to use the powerful spiritual power of human beings to perceive and manipulate these magical powers, and applied these magical powers to the outside world, and these people later became magicians.
The other faction tried to use spiritual power to pull a part of the magic power into the body, use these magic power to wash the body, and use the magic power in the body to attract the greater magic power in the heaven and earth, and these people later became fighting warriors.
There are also some people who borrow the bloodline of powerful demonic beasts to transform their own bodies, and imitate the innate abilities of demonic beasts to exert these powers, and these people become bloodline warriors.
At first, the spells and combat skills in their hands were more unbearable than the spells of the gods, but there were too many of them, and generations of mages and warriors continued to study these skills, and soon the understanding and mastery of these things by humans surpassed the level of the gods.
We, the gods, are stealing human skills, but at the same time we are afraid that humans will become too powerful and threaten our existence. So, we manifest all kinds of miracles in the world and recruit those who are attracted to us. Together, these faith-generating people became the precursors of the temples. The gods gave them the power to fight against those magicians and warriors. Having given them a portion of their divine powers, these people became priests and paladins who could wield their divine powers. This was the beginning of the age of mythology. ”
"Then what led to the battle of the gods in the end?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Naturally, it's a battle for magic. There is a limit to magic in this world, and as I said earlier, there is no end to the gods' greed for magic. Originally, no god knew how these divine powers would work after a god died, but those intelligent humans discovered the relationship between gods and magic, and as long as the god fell, the magic in his body would be released and become ownerless again. Her temple and clerics will also be unable to use divine magic because they have lost the protection of this power.
And then the heart of God was moved. There are several theories about the beginning of the War of the Gods, and since I am rarely with them, I don't know who started the fight. By the time I realized that this was a war, the god of death had been killed by the god of nature, who had absorbed most of the energy released by the fall of the god of death and had become more powerful than the other gods, the god of war, the god of wisdom, and I had to unite against him. But we are still no match for the God of Nature, who seems to have been prepared for a long time, and he has built his family elves and pet dragons into a very powerful place. In the final battle, the god of wisdom was killed first, and finally killed the god of war at the cost of serious injuries and sleep.
And my strength was the weakest, and I had no temple and no priesthood at all, so he put me last, and before he could kill me, he fell asleep. But he had already said that since the God War began, there would be no need for a second god in the world. One day he will kill me like any other god. ”
"It's crazy, isn't it?! This, this is like killing people and eating meat!" Ye Zi said.
"In front of the thirst for power, these are just instinctive releases. Not only will the gods of nature spare me, but they will not leave you with a single trace of magic. So, we're really on the same page. With that, the Prophet looked up at the arena around him and said, "Our time has come." ”
Luo Ling said: "Wait a minute, I found that you are very familiar with our world. Can you tell me who you were before you became a god?"
"Before I became a god, I had a name, called He Xiaoxi. But I'll tell my story next time. After saying this, everyone was ejected from the God of War Arena.
————————————
After the prophet left the God of War Arena, he disappeared without a trace, Xiao Chen and the others gathered the horses pulling the cart, and quickly left the position where the battle took place in the way that the weak rode the horse and the strong flew. Perhaps it was the lack of news from Benegas that delayed Queen Laura's movements, and they never met their pursuers. On the way, they forcibly bought the horses of two caravans, and finally scraped together enough horses for each person.
Xiao Chen announced that he would lead the team to Montenegro, and all the mages who were unwilling to stay could find their own way out, and the final result made him very satisfied, nearly seventy percent of the mages chose to stay, including the most powerful Master Gordon and the three battle angels.
In the evening, Xiao Chen and the others camped in a small village west of the royal capital.
After settling everyone, the four people who came out of the God of War Arena got together again.
The bonfire crackled, the silent barrier isolated the sound from the outside, and Xiao Chen and the others sat in the quiet night, each falling into deep thought. There are so many things they have been through today, and the information they have received is even more amazing, and everyone needs a little time to sort out their thoughts.
In the end, Ye Zi broke the silence, she stroked the tattoo on her hand and said, "It's a pity, the time is too short, and we still have a lot of questions that we haven't had time to ask, such as what is the connection between the God of War and me." ”
"There will always be a chance to know later. Xiao Chen said.
Judging from her description, these gods are really a combination of a madman and a tyrant, and I really can't figure out what I can do with such people or gods. Ye Zi said.
"Actually, it's not surprising, if we people suddenly gain strength and are pushed into that position, we will definitely have an unbalanced mentality, and when the strength can't match the state of mind, and there is no restraint, it will cause disaster. Luo Ling held a branch in her hand and bent it gently.
"Sister Luo Ling, the question you asked today is to imply that she is the same as us, is she also a human being, and is she also from the earth?" Ye Zi asked.
Luo Ling asked rhetorically, "Could it be that there are people in other places who will say that they will receive bento?"
Ye Zi nodded and said, "Yes." If she were an earthling, it would be a different story. ”
"She's the same for everyone she is, it's important what we are prepared to do in the future. At this time, Xiao Chen said, "From the very beginning when we knew about the God of Nature, we never stood still. Whether she comes or not, aren't we always on our own path?"
Li Tianrui, who didn't say a word today, said: "I love to hear Xiao Chen's words. I've been thinking in the arena that they used to do this and that thing about me, it's all in the past. In the final analysis, isn't it just to fool us into scolding the god of nature? We can't follow other people's ideas, and if we want to scare the god of nature, we have to go to it ourselves. It's called independence!"
Li Tianrui's words made Luo Ling and Ye Zi, who were still pondering He Xiaoxi's identity, stunned. Only then did they realize that they were being led away by the nose by the other party.
Xiao Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Comrade Lao Li summed it up well, this is the way we have to go." Exactly: the past, a few romantic characters, and look at the present. ”
