Wallis and the origin of the Seven Gods
Fern finally finished, and the jasmine tea in the teapot was no longer piping hot, and he drank several cups in a row before he felt less dry. Ness was in the mood for it, and she consciously filled the teapot again, and brought it to the table obediently, staring at Fern with a pair of beautiful big eyes.
Fern coughed twice, filled the teacup, and shoved it in front of Ness. "Now that I've said it, it's time for you to say something, you read a lot of books in the Mage Tower, pick one and talk about it. ”
Ness pursed her lips, reluctantly looking at the jasmine flowers floating on the tea soup in the teacup, but refused to open her mouth. Fern smiled and tapped the table twice with his knuckles. "Well, you just have to pick a topic and finish talking, and I'll treat you to roast lamb chops in the evening, and then send you back to Durham, how about it?"
"Really?" Ness jerked her head up, her eyes shining. "You're going to talk and count. ”
"Of course. Fern sat up straight, looking at Ness expectantly, listening attentively.
"Hmm......" Ness dragged her chin as she thought about what to say. "Well, let's just say that. The girl took a sip from her teacup and began to speak.
Legend has it that in this world, there is a group of creators who live in no fixed place and travel to and from all planes of time and space. When they happen to be interested in a node in time and space, they stop at that node for a moment. It is a short stop, but it is for these creators, because time is meaningless to them, so from their point of view, it is only a short stay, but it can be thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years.
One of these creators happened to be on a plane-traveling trip for a while, and he suddenly realized that the plane's evolutionary curve was extraordinary, so he had the idea to see what could be developed on this plane. Wallis was created in an experiment by the Creator, whose original purpose was not to develop Wallis into a continent in the true sense of the word, but simply to try his ideas on top of it, and if the attempt failed, then to destroy it immediately. So when Wallis first existed in this world, it was just a wasteland of nothingness, and there was nothing on it.
Then the Creator created earth and air on the wasteland, and then He created seeds in the soil, and then the water that watered the seeds, and the seeds grew, and more and more seeds were created, and then the seeds grew into trees that could reproduce on their own.
But the Creator was not satisfied with this, and Wallis seemed to him to be too bland, so he created some strange creatures without hands and feet. At first, these creatures feed on plants, but slowly, they begin to kill each other and devour each other's bodies. The Creator felt that these creatures were a failed experiment, so He destroyed them all. Then he thought about it for a while, and felt that he should first create some thinking higher beings, and then let them create the lower beings themselves and guide them, so the Creator created the God of Life.
The God of Life accepted the instructions of the Creator and began to create new life, which was significantly better than the monsters that had preceded it. The Creator was pleased with this, and created the Earth God, who was responsible for nurturing these beings. The gods of the earth did their best to provide food and water for these beings, and Wallis began his first prosperity.
After an unknown amount of time, the living beings began to develop their own minds, and their bodies evolved according to the needs of today's humans. The Creator was starting to get bored again, he wanted to leave, he was very reluctant to leave this continent that was supposed to be experimental, he had never been so satisfied with his masterpiece. So he created dragons and asked them to watch over and protect this thriving land. The Creator expects that when he suddenly remembers this masterpiece of which he was so proud one day, he will come back and look at it, and not come back to have destroyed itself.
When the dragon spread in Wallis, the Creator left the land and continued on his never-ending journey. Of course, no one knows if or when he will return.
As soon as the creator left, the gods of life and the earth suddenly became the rulers of the continent, and without the creator who pressed on their heads, their imagination was unleashed at once.
First of all, they came up with a name for the continent, and after a few days and nights of discussion, they finally named the continent Wallis, which had no meaning, but the two gods couldn't argue, and they couldn't convince each other to accept their name, so they had to find a name that wasn't on either side's list.
Then, they felt that it was too lonely to have only two gods, so they began to create other gods. When the two gods saw that very advanced lifeforms that had evolved began to grow crops on their own, they created the god of agriculture. Then they were inspired by the humble dwellings built by the living beings, and the god of craftsmen was created. Later, they discovered that the living beings already had a hazy sense of transaction, so they created the god of commerce. After the three new gods were created, their status was lower than that of the two old gods, after all, they created the new gods.
The five gods spent a long time in Wallis, and during this time, the life forms evolved rapidly, and the word human was finally coined and given to these life forms. At this time, humans were very similar to modern humans, except that their upper limbs were stronger and their heads were smaller, all of which were adapted to the needs of survival in the wild and fighting with various beasts. What the five gods did not expect was that human beings actually invented fire, or rather, discovered fire. The five gods blamed each other for secretly helping humans get fire, but none of the gods admitted it, so they finally concluded that it must have been left behind before the Creator left, and it was only now discovered by humans.
Slowly, humanity was no longer satisfied with only developing on land, and they built ships and began to make their way to the seas to the west and south of Wallis. Humanity's first attempts ended in tragedy, when almost all the ships and crews that went to sea failed to return, and they began to pray to the gods for a god who would oversee the sea. The god of life and the god of the earth thought about it for a moment, responded to the request of mankind, and the god of navigation was born.
Then one year, when the climate in Wallis was extremely harsh, with floods in some places and not even a drop of rain in other places for a whole year, famine and plague arose, and more than two-thirds of the people of Wallis died, and the rest of the humans were only surviving. In the end, the six gods had to come to the aid of humanity on the brink of extinction, and they turned to Wallis's guardian dragon, the dragon, who sent several dragons who had lived for tens of thousands of years to help. They will blow away the clouds of torrential rain, and spit out nectar from their mouths, moistening the dry land where it has not yet rained. In the end, humanity finally survived the catastrophe with the help of gods and dragons. In order to prevent this from happening again, the gods of life and the earth created the god of harvest to help humanity avoid natural disasters and obtain the harvest on which they depend.
As human civilization grows stronger, they divide their forces and kill each other in order to steal each other's resources. The seven gods generally don't bother to care about this, and in their eyes, this is also the only way for human evolution to follow. But humans also need the guidance of the gods while fighting, and they need a sustenance. Although the gods of life and the gods of the earth were not happy, they created the gods of warriors to fulfill the requests of mankind.
With the further development of humanity, they became the rulers of Wallis, and all kinds of greed and selfishness were unleashed. Pride, doubt, fear, anger, confusion, hatred, these negative emotions of human beings are getting stronger and stronger, human beings are falling into a lost situation, they choose the darkness and turn their backs on the light, Wallis is shrouded in darkness for a while, and the gloomy atmosphere is getting thicker and thicker. At this time, something happened that all the gods did not expect, and all the negative emotions of human beings gathered, and the evil gods were born from them, and absorbed more negative forces, becoming extremely powerful.
The battle between the eight gods and the evil gods began, but the evil gods were too powerful, even with the help of the dragons, the eight gods were still no match for the evil gods, and seeing that they were losing one after another, Wallis was about to fall into a situation from which he could never recover.
At this time, the elder of the dragon clan made a risky suggestion, and at the same time a secret of the dragon clan. In fact, the dragons had already discovered the first fluctuations in magic in Wallis, and through this, they had discovered the existence of magic, and over the past countless years, the dragons had mastered basic magic, so the elder suggested that the eight gods could work together to create a new god, the god of magic. But because the dragons' mastery of magic was not strong enough, and the eight gods didn't even have a clue what magic was, they took another approach. The god of life and the god of the earth first created a parallel plane that coexisted with the real world, and then the dragons poured a lot of magic into the parallel plane, and then the other six gods all poured their power into the parallel plane, and after gathering almost all the power imaginable, the god of magic was finally created from the parallel plane and was pulled to the current world. The parallel world creates the god of magic at the same time, but also creates magic in the true sense, so it is also called the source of magic.
With the combined efforts of the nine gods and the dragons, the evil god was finally destroyed, but before it was completely destroyed, the evil god managed to contaminate the parallel world, making the remaining magical power and other forces extremely unstable. In the time that followed, this unstable force created the Dark Lord and the Dark Tide, and became the greatest threat to Wallis after the Evil God.
After the battle with the evil gods, humanity began to introspect and began to redeem itself under the guidance of seven gods except the god of life and the god of the earth. The vast majority of human beings have converted to the corresponding gods according to their profession or their inner beliefs. The god of craftsmen, agriculture, commerce, navigation, harvest, warriors, magic, and the seven gods have become the spiritual sustenance of human civilization. However, the gods of life and the gods of the earth, which were originally created by the Creator, are not often talked about by humans as beings higher than the seven gods. However, they were also happy to be at ease, and handed over the drudgery of guiding mankind to the Seven Gods, and went away on their own.
