When it comes to some ancient secrets, Lilim's words are a bit conservative.

In fact, the world came to an end during the First God War.

Heaven and earth were shattered, and although the surviving gods joined forces to rebuild heaven and earth, the new heaven and earth were very fragile, and the gods had no choice but to leave and go to a higher dimension.

What was once a world of "round heaven" has become the universe we know today. The earth became planets.

Even so, the gods did not give up on this world, because this is their root, their origin. If the world re-evolved into chaos, the gods would not exist. To put it bluntly, the world is a server, and God is the administrator of this server. Even if the system is damaged, it can be rebuilt, and the program can be rewritten, but if the server hardware is destroyed, the server is completely scrapped, and the management personnel have no need to exist.

The relationship between the world and God is one of interdependence and coexistence. A world cannot be without God, because God's existence itself is a rule, an order.

If there is no rule and order, the world cannot function, it is just a dead space, that is, chaos.

How the world was born has not been clarified by the gods so far, because the creation gods Pangu and Kaos in the East and the West have evolved the world. They all have two things in common: first, they were born in chaos; 2. The creation of gods.

The oldest of the existing gods are the second generation of gods, that is, created by two first-generation creation gods.

The world that gradually perfected evolved on its own with the third generation of gods, and the rules became more and more perfect. When the number of gods reaches a certain number, the world does not need to be sorted out by the gods and begins to function on its own. At that time, the world began to give birth to other non-divine beings on its own, and the life of the gods became colorful.

This is also the reason why in the ancient myths and legends of the East and the West, gods and spirits often appear in humans. There are even many gods who combine with non-god beings to give birth to many demigods. The most typical in the East is Erlang God Yang Jian and his nephew Liu Agarwood, and there are countless in the West, all the outstanding heroes in ancient times are inseparable from the identity of the son of the gods, the most famous are Hercules and Perseus.

At that time, there was no distinction between heaven and man, and everything in the world had the possibility of becoming gods. In ancient times, there was a well-known faint monarch in the East who mentioned a good poem to the mother of mankind "marrying back to Changle and serving the king"~ It is conceivable that there were really not too many scruples in that era.

The shattering of the world may be the only way for the world to evolve, and the two unrelated worlds were broken and merged together.

Although the world has become bigger and broader, the threshold for becoming a god has also been raised a lot.

However, since the gods do not die naturally, the number will continue to increase if nothing major happens, and population expansion is still a big problem.

So the second divine war unexpectedly broke out, but this time it was the Eastern gods and the Western gods who fought.

After the end of the divine war, the gods recuperated again and almost no longer appeared in the human world, and mankind gradually lost its faith.

People without faith do not believe in the existence of "gods" and do not believe in karma, so that human beings become fearless and shameless.

It is common to associate these mystical spiritual beings with religion. Belief in "gods" is equivalent to belief in religion, in fact, it is a big fallacy, everyone can believe in "God" independently, no matter what this "god" is called, as long as it is not human himself, as long as he is always in his heart, he does not even have to go to churches and monasteries, no matter where you are, "God" is with you, which relies on a person's deep inner consciousness, of course, this is also the highest state of faith. Religion is not a superstition, nor is it an attempt to explore the mystery of spiritual life, but it tells mankind about the experiences of some sages and the many efforts they have made to achieve this.

In short, the gods did not establish religion for the sake of people's beliefs, but to fulfill their duties as gods. It is only after losing the guidance of the gods that the nature of religion gradually changes and becomes a prop in the hands of those in power.

Human beings are created by "gods", and everyone has their own divinity, and this divinity is worldly, and in order to manifest the essence of this divinity, it requires that people must change in their own nature in order to realize it -- such as some Taoist priests who are isolated from the world, monks who are far away from the world, monks who diligently pursue truth, and so on, only they are more likely to be able to approach the "gods" and have more opportunities to communicate with the "gods". It has always believed that human beings have the desire to survive, although human beings will die, but the soul will not perish, a person's soul is the essence of human life, only after going through a strict "reckoning" process, and under the guidance of the "gods", reborn with new life.

With the lack of human humanity, the divinity has gradually been blinded, almost cutting off the possibility of becoming a god, and there are fewer and fewer people who can become gods.

Such a discovery made the gods of the East and the West panic, and if this continued, the gods would disappear sooner or later. Once the gods are gone, the world is over.

Without the maintenance of the manager, how long can a server run automatically? Even the most sophisticated machines sometimes make mistakes, even if the world can now run on its own, without the adjustment of the gods, once there is an error, it will only go further and further, and eventually lead to a complete collapse.

Thus, the Third Divine War came into being.

It's just that this time the gods are not for fighting, but for replenishing new members, which can be regarded as a kind of military competition.

How to say it... Many of the responsibilities of the Eastern and Western gods are in conflict.

For example, there is a god of fire in the west, and there is also a god of fire in the east; There are sun gods and moon gods in the east, and sun gods and moon gods in the west.

So, who's really in charge?

When it comes to the dignity of the gods, there is no such thing as humility. Therefore, if the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, the stronger side does not mind eliminating the other side completely.

On the side of the couch, will others be allowed to sleep peacefully?

However, the two sides avoided the expansion of the contradiction and did not want to make the matter bigger, so several saints led by Hongjun Daozu in the east and several god-king powerhouses led by Yahweh in the west held a negotiation.

The content of the negotiation is roughly that the older generation has been fighting for so long, and it is time to take a break, and it is time for the younger generation to behave.

In short, things became what Yang Xi knew.

The fourteen second generations of gods were randomly selected by seven messengers on the earth to cultivate. Whichever side cultivates a new god is good enough, even if one side wins, the losing side will have to spend a full two hundred years not interfering in human affairs.

Two hundred years is not a long time for the gods, but it is nearly ten generations for humans. Selecting those with excellent qualifications in such a huge base, I don't know how many new gods can be cultivated and how much advantage they can occupy.

Due to the merger of the two worlds and the many exchanges between Eastern and Western cultures, there was only a difference between mortals and gods in the eyes of the second generation of gods, so there was no deliberate distinction between Easterners and Westerners when selecting messengers.

In this way, Yang Xi was selected by Lilim, the second generation of Western gods, to become a god candidate.
