Chapter 11: Mingzun and the Immortal Heaven

"Ever since the gods have escaped, my Absolute Sea Divine Domain has been plunged into eternal darkness and loneliness. Whether it is Great Xia, or the Dayue Clan or the Xiongnu next door, they all seem to have lost their way. ”

The Absolute Sea God Domain means that there is no sea god or sea area in this god domain. Because the founder of this divine domain is unknown, and it is not even clear why it exists, so the Divine Domain is called it the Absolute Sea Divine Domain. Later, ordinary humans occasionally used this name.

(Actually, I would say that there are very few written records of this map before 500 AD.) I've been checking for a long time, but I still haven't found their myths, so if I find the information in the future, I'll change it. οΌ‰

"Now His Holiness Zoroaster has come from Persia and brought with him the will and blessing of Ahula, the god of the highest good, whom our ancestors worshipped, and we have seen light and warmth again. From this day forward, all our citizens must follow the guidance of His Holiness Zoroaster and regard Ahura as the supreme god. Although there are many gods, we only believe in God Ahura and his many gods. ”

"From today onwards, a shrine will be built for Ahura, the supreme god of goodness, a temple will be set up, and in the name of Venerable Zoroaster, Zoroastrianism will be established, which will be the state religion of my Bactria . ”

"Venerable Zoroaster has brought supreme light and warmth to all beings, and no living beings should call him by his name except by his sect. From this moment on, he walked on earth as the Divine One, in place of Ahula, the supreme god of goodness. ”

The will of the king of Great Xia soon spread throughout Great Xia, and the subjects knew that a sage, who could only be honored as Ming Zun, had conquered their king and made the sect named after him the state religion of Great Xia.

But ordinary people are very strange and are not allowed to call Mingzun by his name, but the sect is also called Zoroastrianism, what does this mean. Since it is not allowed to be called, it is better to simply change the name.

They don't know that after a thousand years, when all the nations in the land of Kyushu come and do not refuse to come to preach, Zoroastrianism will no longer be called by the name of Mingzun when it is in Kyushu. It has several names, Zoroastrianism, Fire Zoroastrianism, and Zoroastrianism, all because of the influence of the flame at that time, which has surpassed the light and has become the source of the three goodnesses and the foundation of duality.

However, Zoroaster's disciple Mani, who later incarnated as a human and entered the world, passed on the branch of Zoroastrianism, but instead took his own name as the name of the sect, which is Manichaeism.

Later, Manichaeism evolved again in Kyushu, merging with other sects, still based on Zoroastrianism, and forming a new sect. In order to commemorate the ancestor of the founding of the religion, Mingzun Zoroaster, the name of the religion is Mingjiao.

Of course, even if Zoroaster was the reincarnation of the supreme god Ahura and had near-dominating strength, it was impossible to predict all this.

At this time, he was standing in a newly built temple, greeting practitioners from all walks of life.

"Now that you're all here, come in and sit down. ”

Zoroaster had a smile in his eyes, and he glanced at the entrance of the temple, whether it was a cultivator in the light or in the dark, it was undoubtedly revealed in his eyes.

This was what he expected, and since he planned to baptize the temple on this day and accept all beings to worship in the temple, he was ready to welcome uninvited guests.

In the previous kingdom of Great Xia, there were beliefs in various gods, and people could decide for themselves which god to worship. But now it's different, if Zoroastrian Christianity wants to become the state religion, the belief in other gods will inevitably be hit, so how can the priests of those temples feel at ease, so they discuss with each other and want to come to the kingdom of Great Xia to find trouble with Zoroaster.

"I've seen Mingzun later. ”

These priests are all cultivators in their own families, and they all have some ability to transcend the mundane. They could feel the vastness and richness of the power of light in Zoroaster, which made them feel terrified when they saw it.

Fortunately, this Mingzun's attitude seemed to be extremely kind, and after forcing them out, he didn't do anything, but let them in.

"I can't wait to go in, this time I made an appointment to visit Mingzun, I just wanted to ask Mingzun something. ”

A middle-aged woman dressed in bright clothes, who seemed to be the leader of the group of priests, spoke to Zoroaster on behalf of the priests.

"Speak. ”

"I wonder what Your Excellency Mingzun is going to do with the believers of the gods like us?"

This was the question that was of greatest concern to all the priests, and all the temple priests, looked at Zoroaster, waiting for his answer.

"Your followers have the freedom to choose their faith, and I will send disciples to preach to them, and it is up to them to decide whether to convert or not. Neither you nor I can force it. ”

"Does Mingzun want to be an enemy of the gods?"

Although there are no explicit rules, it is almost a convention in this divine domain, but after a person chooses to believe in a certain god, no matter who it is, he cannot be converted.

On the one hand, there was a lot less strife, and on the other hand, it was also to preserve the authority of the gods and priests. But Zoroaster's point was to tell them that he was going to dig into the corners of the other gods.

"For the enemy?hehe, maybe, if the gods behind you think so, you can let them come to me. ”

Zoroaster didn't care, and with a wave of his hand, he grabbed all the priests in the open space in front of him and sat down with his disciples.

In the beginning, in this vast divine realm, there were also gods who appeared, and the gods of Persia, India and even Kyushu often haunted here.

In addition to the gods of these three gods, there is also a mysterious Slavic god line, which haunts this place. But one day a thousand years ago, all beings didn't know why, and all the gods disappeared overnight, and they no longer appeared in this divine realm.

The disappearance of the gods is a great disaster for humans who rely on the gods to live. Soon, however, it became clear that the gods had not completely abandoned them.

The gods also know why, through communication with some special beings among the human race, to convey their will. And these special human beings became the priests of the major temples.

Because of the gift of the gods, these priests have more or less some power over ordinary humans, making them highly respected.

It's a pity that these priests who have been given power by the gods have met Mingzun, and this meager power is completely inadequate. When facing Mingzun, they didn't even have the courage to do it.

"Now that you're here, there's no need to hurry. Today the temple is opened, we will light the altar fire, and then I will speak the Asveta scriptures for the first time in Bactria , so you might as well listen to them together. ”

His Excellency, however, not only wanted to convert ordinary believers to the Supreme Good God, but even these priests, he had no intention of letting them go.

"Mani, take this fire of mine and go and light the life on the altar. ”

Mingzun flicked his fingers at his youngest disciple, Mani, and then a white flame appeared in front of him. Among the many disciples, the one he admired the most was the younger disciple Mani. Even on more than one occasion he declared to his disciples that Mani could not properly protect the teachings he had established, but he could carry forward the dualism of the three virtues.

Mani looked excited, holding the white flame in the void in his hands that the teacher had placed in front of him. Then he walked up to the altar with a reverent gaze.

In the middle of the altar, a pile of special wood was piled high, arranged in a very special pattern, vaguely in the shape of a human figure.

Mani threw a white flame at the particular wood, and it burst into flames, quickly transforming into an indeterminate humanoid flame pattern that looked mysterious and warm.

"The flame is blazing, for the heart of light. The flame is never extinguished, and the light never ceases. The source of the three goodness, only light and fire. ”

"In the beginning, Ahura, the supreme god, was born out of a giant egg of light and fire. However, before him, the supreme evil god Dev was born firstΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Zoroaster began his lectures, but Adros could no longer listen to them, and he did not know how many times he had read the "Avista", or the "Persian Sutra".

He got up and left the temple and headed east, to visit the only god in the realm that he sensed.

Ever since he entered this place, he had begun to deduce what was the reason why the gods of this Divine Domain had disappeared almost overnight. He couldn't know the exact reason, but he vaguely deduced that the gods seemed to have been cast out by a god.

And this god is the object that Adros is going to visit, the Immortal Heaven.

The name Adros had been heard since he was not reincarnated in Kaos, but he never knew who the god was.

From this time to the transition from tribe to kingdom, the Huns, who were called "God's Whip" by the people of the gods in the future, and later conqueror peoples, were all worshipping this god.

Adros crossed the kingdom of the Great Moon clan and came to the land of the Huns. He found that although this place was in a foreign land, the edge of the ancestral vein Kunlun of Kyushu extended directly, just like the Great Snow Mountain across the two divine domains of Kyushu and India, the ancestral vein Kunlun also connected the two divine domains.

The famous, or the famous Immortal Heaven, the cave where he lives is on this side of the ancestral vein Kunlun.

Yes, it is the Cave Mansion, after Adros came, he found that the Immortal Heaven is probably quite related to Kyushu, and even the Cave Mansion has been opened up like many Kyushu Qi Refiners.

"It's you, it's you!"

When Adros saw the immortal heaven who came out in front of him to meet him, he couldn't help but be surprised. The god in front of him, with white hair and long crutches in his hands, strangely curved and high above his head, was his acquaintance.
