Chapter 14: The Sky Gods
Of course, Shur knew about the Sky Divine System, and if he didn't know, then his theological knowledge would be in vain.
Similar to the plant gods, water gods, and scorching gods, the gods that symbolize the sky together form the sky gods.
The plant god system is dominated by Anika and is formed by contacting all the gods related to plants, and the leader of the sky god system is the Lord of the Sky Simon and the Sun God Thor, including the Silver Moon Lady Diana, the Dark Moon Lady Luna, the Night Sky Lady Semina, the Starlight Lady Astraya, the Wind Lord Sailor and other main gods, a total of one hundred and twenty-eight gods, which can be said to be a very large god system.
However, it is precisely because the god system is too large, not as closely united as other small god systems, the composition of the sky god system is quite loose, and even the churches do not interact with each other, so it can be said that there is no difference between there and not, there is no sense of existence, well, it seems to be similar to the interest of a certain goddess, which is really a sad thing.
As one of the members of the Sky God System and the apostle of the Lightless Moon Luna, it is impossible for Shuer not to know about the existence of the Sky God System, otherwise he would have been killed by the goddess long ago. But it was precisely because he knew its nature that Shur was even more puzzled, and he didn't understand why Orlana suddenly mentioned the existence of the Sky God System.
"So, you still don't know that the Sky God System is far from being as simple as you think. I wonder if Master Summerer didn't tell you this when he was teaching you? No, you couldn't have been educated by the honest man of Lord Summer, no wonder you never knew. ”
"Huh?" the corners of his mouth twitched, and Shuer smiled bitterly in his heart, "Tsk, the old bishop's death is ...... Well, it was more sudden, I wasn't with him at the time, to be exact, I wasn't in the temple for a long, long time, so I certainly hadn't heard him talk about it. Lisa......"
"I haven't heard my grandfather talk about the Sky God System. Lisa shook her head in annoyance, "Grandpa always said that I was still young, and it was too early to get into these things, and he would tell me when I was older." ”
"Hmph. Perhaps remembering the old man who had died, Angela rarely did not sarcastically mock Lisa, well, she sarcastically said Shure, "You don't know anything? ”
Shul glared at Angela, who was carried away, and didn't bother to bother with her: "Lord Orana, Lord Summer's class is owed, please help me complete it." ”
"Don't you think it's strange? Why are the temples of Lord Thur, Lord Selen, Lord Diana, and Lord Luna all in the same city? I know, they were all relocated later, but why did they move to the same city? Have you ever seen a city with so many temples of the main god-level gods in it? And even before the relocation, the temples of several adults were not far away. Before the relocation of the major temples in the post-chaotic era, even the temples that controlled Lord Simon were with several adults. ”
"Is it because of the existence of the Sky God System? However, I haven't seen the temples of Wendy and Heral-sama built together. ”
"Oh, to explain this, we have to start from the age of mythology. Let's put it this way, there was a relatively special group among the gods of the sky god system at that time, and it should not correspond to the small factions of the forest god system and the water god system, but the earth god system that was not systematically formed. ”
Tsk, hell, this thing is getting more and more troublesome. Orana's words made Shul think about a lot of things.
It's no wonder that the number of the Sky God System is much larger than that of other factions, occupying one-eighth of the seats among the gods, it turns out that the two are not at the same level at all, so it seems that the ratio of seven to one, the Sky God System is still a minority. So Orlana said that I am the link, the link between the earth and the sky? No, I have been in contact with so many temples, and I don't see any difference or estrangement between the two, otherwise I would have found something abnormal.
"The gods of the earth walk on the earth, the gods of the sky soar in the sky, everyone exercises their own divine power, each of them has its own system and does not interfere with each other, and there is no communication and connection, only the earth goddess Kaeya, the mother earth who is revered by the two gods, as a link to maintain the relationship between the two. Of course, this is only a past in the Age of Mythology, and it is in the middle and early stages of the Age of Mythology. ”
These belong to the secrets between the gods, and mortals have no way or qualification to know them, only the apostles of the gods, these high-ranking priests who serve the gods, or through word of mouth from generation to generation, or through various scriptures passed down in the temple, or directly told by oracles, in short, through various channels that do not belong to ordinary mortals, to understand these unknown secrets.
"It is said that in the age of mythology, there were contradictions and strife between the two sides, and although it did not evolve into a war of the gods under the mediation of the Earth Mother, the seeds of estrangement have been planted, resulting in a line of their own between the gods of the sky and the gods of the earth. ”
"Of course, from the age of mythology to the present, I don't know how many tens of thousands of years have passed, and the barrier between the two god systems has long been broken, and everyone has resumed normal communication, but the opposition during the previous period still leaves something. ”
"What is it?" Shure asked, ponderingly, "hatred? No, the gods are not so superficial and do not be bothered by these worldly feelings. ”
Indeed, hatred, something too mundane, would not appear in the consciousness of the gods, and what was left of the mythological age would not naturally be hatred. As for what was left behind, it is difficult to have a clear explanation, so it can be said that it is a special affection for each other. ”
"Oh, the friendship forged in the midst of adversity? Hahaha, that's our kind of people. No wonder Shur laughed and laughed at himself, using human thinking habits to measure the will of the gods is a very ridiculous behavior, so there is a saying that when everything thinks, the gods laugh.
"Well, there's a difference. Orlana couldn't help but chuckle, "Actually, there is no common suffering, but there is an instinctive closeness to the sky." It's not like the sisterly closeness between Lord Diana and Lord Luna, it's more like a relationship between distant relatives, if you have to explain it from a human perspective. ”
"Probably understood. Xiuer nodded thoughtfully, "Usually there is no communication, and there are even many contradictions between each other, but once they encounter a major event, they often unconsciously unite." ”
"Yes, this is the feeling that the Sky God Department gives people, the adults of the Sky God Department are often accustomed to maintaining neutrality when encountering major events, which is most obvious in the melee of the Chaos Era, the Lord of the Sky God Department is the least involved in the Chaos Era except for the Earth Mother Lord, most of the time they remain neutral, and the few times they are involved, it is also because a certain member has made a choice, and the other adults naturally choose to follow up. ”
"So, I'm the bond. Shuer pointed to his nose, "Putting me in your camp is equivalent to bringing the entire Sky God System closer to your camp, that's why you are so attentive to me?"
"How can it be so simple, the gods and spirits are not puppets, they can be manipulated by mortals. "Orlana didn't say it explicitly, but the implication is that you Shuer is not qualified yet, and you can pry all the main gods of the entire Sky God System to tilt in your direction, which is to save face for Shuer, of course, Shuer can also hear it.
"That's?"
"Mortals don't have this qualification, but gods are different, and the key is that Lord Luna's attitude is very ...... Particularly. ”
Shul didn't speak, but his fingers tapped his thighs faster, and it was clear that his thinking skills had improved to the maximum.
"The gods live in a relatively independent kingdom of gods, their power is too strong, too close to each other, mainly not close to the gods too close, often produce the interference of the energy field, for the gods and adults, maybe this degree of interference, maybe like mortals meeting to shake hands or pat on the shoulder, but affect the mortal world, maybe it will induce catastrophic consequences. Of course, a god as familiar as Lord My Lord and Lord of Flowers, Lord Flora, does not have such phenomena. ”
"Well, I still understand that. Shuer nodded, "Even if the gods restrain their divine power, the contained energy will still interfere with each other. ”
As a result, gods who were not close to each other rarely interacted directly, and even major choices such as alliance or not were mostly communicated to each other through mortal temples. And those apostles must have drawn alliances on behalf of the gods behind them to seek allies, which is not a secret among the gods, which is why so many high-level priests came to Lion City at the same time, just to reply in time. ”
"So what?" Shure frowned, not understanding what Orlana had to say in connection with what had happened before.
"So, Priest Pavin and Lord Angela are also two of these high-ranking priests, and I didn't try to kidnap them, they took the initiative to enter the Temple of Water. Orlana naturally teased herself, "Don't you think it's strange? It stands to reason that these two adults have always been neutral in their minds about worldly matters, so why would they take a direct stance this time?"
Indeed, there are very few precedents for Traveler's Wind and Silver Moon Diana to participate in disputes in history, and of course, Dark Moon Luna is the same, for no particular reason, but as the gods of the sky, they are not used to being involved in disputes on the ground.
"So because of me? no, I should say, because of my lord?"
"Or could it be because of me?" Orlana sighed, "That's why I say that you have completely underestimated your own importance, Lord Shure. But you can't blame it, those people are restless and choose a bit too coincidentally. ”
Now Shure finally understood, and as Orlana said, he had become the link between the sky and the earth.
