Chapter 116: The Age of Mythology
In the Observer's castle, Lucien stands in front of a row of bookshelves, flipping through a book from the reign of the dragon, which records the special customs of different races in various places at that time.
The study is elegantly decorated, the books are neatly arranged chronologically, and the rest of the information on the lost civilization is very detailed, except that there is no record of the mythological era.
Lucien is no stranger to this study, it was here that he took the "Transfiguration Mask" last time, but the terrifying magical plants on both sides of the castle garden and the boulevard can no longer make himself feel dangerous.
Relying on the library of souls, Lucien quickly flipped through the newly collected books of the Rhine, while waiting for him and the "Silver Moon" to return - in the case of the Primeval Dragon, the Mastermind, the Eye Demon Lord and other legendary powerhouses all "want to integrate from the heart", it is natural that the Dark Council will sign a contract or something like that on the spot, and the "notary" is undoubtedly their wise and wise speaker who is always right.
Unless the strength can reach the level of completely crushing the opposition, the correct way to do this is to hold on to its own basic plate, unite with the swingers, and unexpectedly break the backbone of the opposite, and then divide and disintegrate, devour and absorb, deter and co-opt, otherwise, integration will only cause the organization to fall apart.
And "Silver Moon" succeeded with the help of Dracula and Danissos conspiracy this time, although there is no way to eliminate the grievances and anger in the hearts of some legendary powerhouses, but any cooperation is based on interests. This level of emotion could not make the legendary powerhouses break the net, and coupled with the constraints of the follow-up magic contract, the Dark Council can be regarded as a real first step towards successful and solid integration.
After half an hour, Rhine, dressed in a red jacket and a black turtleneck jacket, slowly paced down the corridor into the study.
"Where's the honorable 'Silver Moon'?" Lucien was going to ask about the Mythological Age this time, so he naturally wanted to find someone who witnessed it at that time.
Rhine sighed helplessly: "It seems that he is bored, and then disappears again, or maybe he wants to fight his desire to 'eat', for him, there are still a lot of 'desserts' here......"
It is said that the "silver moon" is often missing...... Lucien also felt helpless, and the dark council, which often couldn't find his own "speaker", looked "worrying......
Rhein waved his hand. smiled: "But if something big happens." He will certainly appear in time, and He will not be confused in this regard. ”
"Mr. Rhine, can you summon the venerable Silver Moon? Lucien made his own request.
Rhine chuckled. Walked to the back of the desk and sat down: "We all know what you want to ask." So He told me about it. I'll tell you. ”
"You know what?" said Lucien, slightly surprised.
Rhine's silver eyes looked at Lucien, and said with a smile: "The moment you found the sun, He knew that you would find it." It's about the weirdness of the depths of the endless ocean, right?"
"Well, according to normal circumstances, the depths of the endless ocean should be the same as near the atmosphere, and there will be no situation where you will return to your original position while walking, starting from the model I built, it is almost impossible for this to be naturally formed, so, I suspect that it is related to something in the mythological era, I wonder if the Dao is real?" Lucien didn't insist on facing Silvermoon head-on, and asking Rhine was not much different from asking Silvermoon, but he didn't have that much pressure, and he would always worry about what delicious food he was in Etna's eyes, and worry that he couldn't help but eat it for a while.
Rhine asked curiously, "What kind of model did you build, where did you see the anomaly and find the clues? Even Viken, a magician-like god, did not detect any traces of artificiality. ”
“...... Mr. Rhein, do you know the arcane?" Lucien muttered.
Rhine's smile stiffened slightly, coughed, and picked up the classical quill on the desk to play: "Since it's inconvenient to say, forget it." "I don't understand it......
He paused, and his tone became serious: "In the beginning, the consciousness of the ancestor was only half-awakened, so the sense of the world was very vague, close to a dream, in his 'dream', the soul can be independent of the body, just like the light walking on the dark water, like the existence of some ghosts, and some magical creatures with ordinary extraordinary powers have begun to change in a strange, powerful, and mysterious direction, but the initial wisdom has not yet been formed. ”
Lucien listened attentively, a certain stage of the evolution of the world and the process of biological evolution in this world may not be the same as that of the earth (the process may not be inconsistent, but the hidden laws are not necessarily different, but there may be some strange factors here), and this is also one of the clues to explore the nature of the magical world.
"When the ancestral consciousness was awakened and began to walk on the earth, the prototypes of many magical creatures also appeared, and the Lord of Hell and the Will of the Abyss also stepped on the stage, starting from instinct, setting off a bloody storm. Rhine did not directly explain the oddities of the depths of the endless ocean, but gave Lucien an overview of the age of mythology.
The rudiments of the current magical creatures, but with simple supernatural powers before...... Lucien's brows furrowed slightly, and he stretched out again, combined with the Magic Council's analysis of the origin of the world and the soil, fossils, etc., it seemed that this innate simple transcendent power had nothing to do with the environment, only with the strength of the soul.
While thinking, Lucien noticed a problem: "At that time, there were only three gods, and there was no entanglement of interests between them, except for the abyssal will attack indiscriminately, there seems to be no need for conflict between 'Hell' and the respected 'Silver Moon'? ”
"When they were first born, the two god-like gods only had the immortality of god-likeness, and they had not yet fully mastered their own strength and will, and they would be seriously affected by instinct, and the ancestor once told me that there were many potential god-like gods at that time, but only the three of them could be bred in the end, and the others all failed in the end, such as the ancient elven tree that represents 'nature', such as the 'Azure Gate', all of which were only semi-awakened. ”
Rhine explained, "Later, with the birth of many intelligent beings, some powerful magical creatures also began to gather the 'power of faith' and become false gods, just like the other dimension you have visited. ”
"Throughout the mythological era, the 'Abyssal Will' is frantically killing and destroying, the 'Lord of Hell' is hiding behind the scenes to find a way to completely master his own power and the path to a deeper level, those half-awakened 'consciousness' are united with the First Ancestors against them, and the false gods are looking for ways to grow, attacking and swallowing each other, and are constantly lured by the 'Lord of Hell' to become his experiments, to help him figure out what false gods are for the Hell, and what is the amount of power they have gathered, speaking of, 'Speaking of,' 'The Power of Faith' is still named after the 'Lord of Hell'......"
Lucien rubbed his chin and said, "The name of the 'Lord of Hell'?"
"Yes, but the 'Lord of Hell' has never researched anything, and it wasn't until later that the genius of Tanos combined the power of ancient demons and faith to figure out a path that was not born like a god, and seemed to have found a way to become a true god, in fact, I have always suspected that the first information that Tanos obtained was deliberately revealed to him by the 'Lord of Hell'. Rhine put down the quill in his hand and clasped his hands together.
"Then how did the 'Lord of Hell' and the 'Will of the Abyss' come to be confined to the main material realm?" Lucien didn't rush to ask about the peculiarities of the depths of the endless ocean, because he believed that this in itself should be a different manifestation of the same thing.
Rhine smiled and said: "After the confrontation reached its peak, it was naturally a large-scale 'divine war', almost all the pseudo-gods fell, the consciousness of several ancient elf trees and the 'Azure Gate' completely collapsed, and they 'fused' into the world realm, and the 'Lord of Hell' and 'Abyss Will' were expelled from the main material world realm, and the ancestors could not walk on the earth at will." ”
Even if there are a small number of remnants of those false gods, they certainly did not escape the conspiracy of the 'necromantic realm' to "kidnap" or kill them later.
"How is this done?" Lucien never understood the restriction.
Rhine pointed to the dark mountain sky outside the window: "In the mythological era, the dark mountain range was not like this, there were not so many spatial cracks, but there were many stable passages to the alien space, and there was a possible god-like existence, the same is true in the depths of the endless ocean, but at that time, the endless ocean depths, the moonlight sea and the atmosphere were the same, and they would always walk through, but they couldn't 'see' the road they walked." ”
"This spatial anomaly has been there since the beginning?" Lucien asked thoughtfully.
Rhine said with a slightly puzzled expression: "This has been the case since the Ancestor awakened his consciousness, but in his previous 'dream', this anomaly did not reach the current level, and it seems that he can faintly see the ground through the atmosphere...... This is the 'dream' of the ancestors, and there are many impressions and experiences that have been proven to be distorted, so don't take it too seriously. ”
Lucien bowed his head slightly, motioning for Rhein to continue.
"In the last battle, the 'Azure Gate' and other semi-awakened beings sacrificed their consciousness, cooperated with the ancestors to distort time and space, and cut off the direct connection between the main material world and the alien space, leaving only space nodes to come and go, and the dark mountains and the depths of the endless ocean became what they are now. ”
"Moreover, because of this 'separation', if the 'Lord of Hell' and the 'Will of the Abyss' do not open a stable channel, they will be restricted by the main material realm, and the same is true of the first ancestor, so he created the blood clan and the werewolf clan in advance, and left in me the ability to summon him, so that he can break through the restriction and come at a critical moment. Rhein was not at all unhappy that he was being used as a tool.
Lucien asked, puzzled, "What did he think about it at that time, what did he think about it, did he receive any hints?"
"At that time, the strong man relied on instinct to cast spells and fight, and he instinctively felt that this would work best...... Rhine said that "Silver Moon" would not think about such complex mathematical problems.
"Huh. Lucien could only laugh like this, but it was also a big mystery in his heart and eliminated the hidden danger. (To be continued......)
