Chapter 101: The God of Wisdom
"The name Magellan represents the most important decision my companion and I have ever made, of course, you don't know because no one will tell you. ”
"I've seen Nuwa, I've seen Thoth, I've seen Isitar. ”
Odin looked surprised: "Although none of them are qualified to be my companions except for Nuwa, you are indeed amazing. ”
"So, what was your decision?"
"That's a long story. ”
Odin began the long narration.
At the beginning of this world, there was only one wilderness on the earth, and endless life grew unchecked.
No one knows when the first changes took place, and even the gods, they don't know much more about history than they were born.
The gods, these powerful creatures, their father is the majestic and transcendent force of this world, and their mother is the supplication of humanity.
At the beginning of his birth, every god followed the crowd that prayed to him, and it was usually a primitive tribe of mortals who were incomparably weak, miraculously multiplied like worms.
The birth of the gods did not change the lives of mortals for the better, most of them were like wild beasts, and even demanded from mortals without restraint, and many tribes perished in this way.
It was only after the first meeting between the gods that they learned moderation and recognized their relationship with mortals.
A chaotic time ensued.
War, communication, integration, the gods are nothing but vassals of civilization, some tribes obey them, and some tribes even abandon the gods outright and worship the mortal ancestors who have truly contributed to the development of civilization.
In any case, the first flame of civilization was born.
That was the original brilliance.
Nuwa, the ancestor of mortals, blessed the people of the dragons, where hundreds of schools of thought pursued the ultimate truth and a way out, and they created an incomparably brilliant civilization.
Athena, the guardian of the city of Athens, under her patronage, philosophers gathered in the city, who developed logic, philosophy, poetry and drama, enjoyed the service of slaves, and firmly believed that Athena should become god-king after Zeus, the god of thunder, the representative of nature.
The poisonous, fertile land gave rise to a wealthy crowd who were lazy and did not hesitate to submit to the rulers, and those who stood at the apex of the crowd fixed it all in the name of the Most High God.
Isitar, where the morning star shines on the fertile soil between the two rivers, the first civilizations have emerged in the city-states, recording the deeds of nobles and singing praises to the great.
Emunchet, the great river brings the annual flood, the people grow food on the banks of the river, they are surrounded by irresistible beasts, mortals depict their gods as half-beasts, but still, Osiris can see truly distant places.
Wisdom gods don't often dominate a civilization, Dragonfolk are the exception, and Theros is the norm.
But in the end, the wheels of civilization have begun to turn, and finally come to the end of the gods.
The Old Gods appeared.
It was not a time that mortals could comprehend, but an abstract long time in which the gods were weakened and unable to do anything.
Athena was the first god of wisdom to act.
In this world, her wisdom is only inferior to that of Nuwa, but the latter has no reason to act: the appearance of the Old Gods has not affected the Dragon Kingdom at all.
The goddess's first neighbor was Emunchet, where she had a conversation with Osiris, the closest and most powerful of the gods of wisdom, to the god-king, and obtained the earliest information about the old gods.
The terrifying beings who let the gods fall and become unstoppable, but never appeared, are the inevitable choice of the Mother of the Gods: mortals.
The world is forever surging with supernatural power, and before the appearance of mortals, the terrifying and majestic power did not find an outlet, but when mortals appeared, their prayers determined the direction of this power.
The gods were born from this, and so did the old gods.
In the distant tribal era, mortals thought that the most powerful thing in the world was thunderstorms and the sun, winds or rain.
But after the emergence of a new civilization, in the eyes of mortals, the most powerful power in the world is time, death, or some rightful master.
As a result, the old gods appeared, and they did not kill the gods directly, but the gods weakened due to the lack of mortal prayers, and eventually died.
Of course, the Old Gods failed to appear in the world and enjoy the worship of mortals because their power was so terrifying that they simply could not coexist compatible.
There can only be one Old God.
It is the Chosen One, the only truth, the master of the world, the initial driving force of destiny.
At the time of this conclusion, Athena had already visited other gods of wisdom, and in the end, the goddess came to the final conclusion by Nuwa's side:
The fate of the gods doesn't matter at all, it's the world itself that really matters.
After that, Athena formed the Alliance of Wisdom Gods.
Not all wisdom gods were receptive to this idea, and in the end, Athena had only three companions: Nuwa, Isitar, and Osiris.
They easily found a way to escape their devastating fate and began experiments that really mattered.
"Without you?"
Although it is a long story, Magellan did not miss any details.
"I only showed up a long time later," Odin said with a look of remembrance on his face, not realizing that he was smiling, "until then, Thor was actually the main god of the Esyads, and it was Athena who created me and made me the last god of wisdom. ”
At that time, almost all the gods were dead or asleep, except Nuwa and Athena.
They are the last hope, and Athena decides to pursue a way out with the power of this world itself, while Nuwa creates a maelstrom to pursue power beyond this world.
With the help of the gods of Esyad in her heyday, Athena built a great project.
"Those were three stars, a throne, and a scepter. ”
"The three stars are the light of science, the throne is where we are, and what is the scepter?"
Odin smiled: "The ultimate weapon, you can kill a god with just one hit." ”
And then when all this was done, Athena made science by trickery. ”
Magellan looked at Odin in amazement, speechless in astonishment.
"At that time in the world, only that weak god claimed to be the only god, which was the most important point of becoming the only ancient god, so Athena chose him as the ultimate master, and prepared countless believers for him with a conspiracy. ”
"What do you say......"
"Everything was planned. ”
