This is an extremely old temple, and it is also an extremely desolate and dilapidated temple, so dilapidated that the murals in the temple are mottled, and as for the words once engraved on it, they have been corroded to the point that they are too much to read.

Outside the temple, there were about a dozen men and women, gathered in groups of three or five, constantly discussing the newly acquired knowledge, and in the midst of them, there was a roaring fire.

"Evil will eventually be defeated by good, whether it is the god Ahura in the past defeating the god Dev, or in the future we will follow the teacher and defeat those who believe in it. ”

A man who seemed to be the leader of the group of men and women suddenly spoke eloquently to the crowd. Although his clothes were ragged, he was in good spirits, and his eyes were full of hope for the future.

"But we've all been in this mountain for ten years, when will we be able to get out?"

This is a teenager who, since he was a toddler, has lived in seclusion with their teacher and has never gone out. For everything under the mountain, his heart is full of yearning.

"Mani, although you have not come down the mountain, you must know our situation. Below this mountain, both the gods and the leaders of the human race, they are against us. And the human beings who are coerced by them regard us as evil beings and dare not come into contact with us. ”

As the leader, the oldest middle-aged man, began to comfort and persuade young Mani.

At this time, the highest god in the Persian god domain was recognized as the god Lord Marduk, but few humans believed in him. This god doesn't mind either, never forced.

Below him, those masters of the Persian god realm are different, whether it is the Supreme Temple or the Guardian Temple, although they obey Marduk's request and let human beings develop, but spiritually, they have never given up their control over human beings.

Where they were, it was where the ten great tribes of Persia were located. Here, the most revered gods of mankind include Meher, the god of the sun and oaths, Azar, the god of sacred fire, of course, the guardian god Imma, the god of holy drink, Hamo, and the god of war, Bahram.

At this time, suddenly there was a madman-like human being, who ran to the kings and humans everywhere and declared that above the gods, there was a supreme good god, who was the great god of creation, and had defeated the supreme evil god Dev in order to prevent the world from falling into darkness.

And human beings, should not believe in other gods, or when they believe in other gods, they should at least worship the supreme and good gods as the supreme and supreme gods.

This kind of argument frightened the leaders of the human race, and they all knew the supreme evil god Dev, but the defeat of the supreme evil god was not the common credit of all the gods, when did it have anything to do with this inexplicable supreme good god? There are several good gods in the Persian god domain, but they are not so powerful.

If the leaders of the human race only drove away those who preached such heresies, the priests of the temples were not so easy to speak. They live to do it themselves, and they live to invite all kinds of high-ranking people or kill them, and they want to kill those who spread heresies.

Therefore, the teacher of this group of people, Zoroaster, was hostile and pursued by the people of the entire divine domain, and could only flee to this remote barren mountain and live in isolation.

He practiced penance here alone, opened up a path of cultivation for mankind here, sorted out his wisdom and knowledge here, and taught his disciples here, tirelessly for ten years, never leaving the mountain.

However, it is precisely because human beings are coerced by the disbelievers that we should go to the human race, fight against those who believe in them, and correct the false beliefs in the hearts of human beings. ”

In his heart, the young Mani felt that he should not feel sorry for himself in the mountains, but should go to the world to fight and preach their correct ideas to the world.

"How do you fight? Behind them, there are those powerful gods, although we have been taught by our teachers and have obtained supernatural powers that are above ordinary people, but we are still far from powerful gods. How can a teacher alone turn the hearts of the entire Divine Domain around?"

The eldest middle-aged man didn't want to go out to fight, but it wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't, his strength was not enough, and fighting was just to death.

"Even if I die, I don't want to die of old age in the mountains and forests, I also want to die in battle. ”

Young Mani was loud and bright-eyed, showing an unprecedented fighting spirit.

"Well said, Mani. ”

"Yes, that's how it should be, we have to go down the mountain and tell the world about their misbelief. ”

······

After listening to Mani's words, several of his younger classmates also became excited and said that they wanted to go down the mountain. Among them was a beautiful maiden who was the daughter of Zoroaster.

The older ones hurriedly reassured the young children, telling them not to get excited, and to obey the teacher's wishes.

"Zoroaster, look outside, you're afraid you won't be able to live in seclusion any longer. ”

Adros smiled at the middle-aged man in front of him, he was the reincarnation of the Supreme God of Good Ahura, but at this time, he had not yet recovered the memory of the Most High God of Goodness.

Although he did not restore the memory of the gods, he was just a human being, but the achievements of this human had to amaze Adros.

In the past, Ahura, the god of high goodness, once created the theory of five potentials, the dualism of the three virtues, but it was only a conceptual thing, and it was not practiced.

This Zoroaster rose from the human world and opened up this theory as a method of cultivation in the human body, opening up another path of cultivation for all sentient beings.

Vitality, conscience, understanding, soul, and spirit, when the five initiates are mixed into one, they reach the realm of the main god. Zoroaster was only forty years old, and it was only at the age of twenty that he received a hint of guidance in a dream, abandoned his home, and began to believe in the existence of the Most High God.

After ten years of wandering, the faith did not spread, but was pursued and killed countless times, Zoroaster began to reflect on himself, sat in this deep mountain temple, thoroughly practiced and practiced, wrote scriptures, and preached and taught his disciples.

Ten years before and after, a total of only twenty years, he was already standing at the peak of the Lord God Realm, only one step away from the master.

Adros came here to visit this human, and the two of them have been discussing human cultivation methods for several years. Maybe Su Hui in his previous life was too amazing, or maybe he was unparalleled in his own qualifications, and after talking to him for several years, Adros still felt that Zoroaster's wisdom and knowledge seemed to be endless.

In the communication with him, Adros also had some understanding of the cultivation above the future master of his lineage. To take the good as the general principle of everything is to give birth to light from goodness and create the world by light, or to create fire from goodness and create the world by fire. The gods are different, the paths are different, but what remains unchanged is the essence, all in good thoughts, good words and good deeds.

It's just that no matter how powerful this road is, for Adros, it doesn't mean that it's just that the stones of his mountain can attack jade. Zoroaster's way is not his way after all.

"If you can't live in seclusion, then you won't be in seclusion anymore. After sitting for ten years, it is time to go out to see the heavens, the earth and all living beings. Zoroaster sighed in a low voice, then turned to the outside of the hall and said, "Go and clean up, and we'll leave later." ”

As soon as he said this, there were cheers outside, and then there was a rush of running, and it was clear that the men of Zoroaster had gone to pack their things.

Even those older doormen, why don't they want to go down the mountain?

Hearing the cheers outside, Adros smiled lightly: "This is going down the mountain, how are you going to preach?"

In the years of communication between the two, Adros already knew that the sage in front of him had summed up the worship of fire, light, contract, nature, etc. in the Persian Divine Domain for countless years, unified them with supreme goodness, and founded a sect in his own name.

This sect is called Zoroastrianism, and although there are many gods, it believes in only one god, the supreme god Ahula. The other gods are either the genus of the hostile evil gods, or the gods of the good gods.

"According to His Excellency the God, it is impossible to establish a religion without relying on the Lord of a nation. I went around a few years ago and found nothing, but now that I think about it, it is. In the Persian Divine Domain, it was difficult for my religion to spread for a while, so I changed places and introduced it from outside. ”

"Well, that's a good idea, I wonder where you want to start your mission, Your Excellency Zoroaster?"

Taking a roundabout route and making a strategic shift, Adros can't say whether this method is good or not. In his opinion, whether this Zoroastrianism can spread or not depends on Zoroaster himself, whether he can kill those gods who were gods in his previous life.

Of course, as far as Adros knew, it seemed that all of these gods had forgotten the supreme god Ahula, otherwise monotheistic beliefs would not be so difficult to spread. In the earliest days, the Persian Divine Domain was originally ruled by a single god.

"To the east of the Persian kingdom there is a kingdom called Bactria that I will begin with my disciples. ”

As soon as Zoroaster said the name of Bactria in the first place, Adros was moved, thinking that this so-called Bactria Kingdom was the country left behind by the remnants of Bactria who had gone east from Egypt.

But he used the star preaching technique to deduce, but found that this was not the case, but the people of the Persian God Domain, thousands of years ago, were borrowed by the army of the Xia Dynasty in Kyushu to conquer Egypt, and knew that there was a powerful country in the east called Great Xia.

Later, it was gradually passed down, and this country located in the east of the Persian God Domain was called Great Xia.

"Your Excellency, I wonder if you want to go with us?"

Zoroaster did not know the name of Adros, so he always addressed him as His Excellency the Deity. As for where Adros is and what kind of god he is, it has nothing to do with him. At this time, all he saw was a person who was having a good conversation and discussing the cultivation together.

"Okay, let's go, I also want to see what 'Great Xia' is like?"

In fact, what Adros wants to see more is the one to the east of Great Xia, the west of Kyushu.
