Chapter 431: Gods (Part II)
For humans, the gods represent the most powerful force in the world, unquestionably majestic, the embodiment of the will of the world.
However, in the crazy era when ancient magic was at its most glorious, the emperors of ancient magic deduced a different answer based on various legends and materials.
In fact, most of the gods do not exist, but human beings take all kinds of powerful life and natural phenomena as objects of worship and personify them to form a perfect fantasy.
However, God does exist, and at least the power of the Church of the Most High God does not come out of nowhere. The existence of the church is not a divine descent at all, but the most basic divine magic.
Food-making, water-making, and healing are the foundations that make the Church of the Supreme God the greatest faith of the entire human race, and the cornerstone of the behemoth of the Church.
Among them, the spell that creates water, the water elemental magician, can achieve the same effect, and the healing technique can barely be replaced by the rare light magician, but the research on the food making technique has made countless top archmagicians unbelievable.
The bread-making technique, a basic magic technique that even a trainee priest can complete, has come to an incredible conclusion after countless studies by magicians.
This magic is not the lowest spell at all, but a miracle that points to the essence of the world, from nothing. It involves many mysteries such as space, matter, elements, and laws, and is an out-and-out fantasy come true.
This series of spells looks very similar to what the elves use to grow plants and then obtain crops, but in fact they are completely different things.
Where did the bread created by the magic come from, and why did it smell so familiar to the magician, and every one of them was exactly the same. You must know that there are not even two identical leaves in this world, but the bread made by the priest himself using divine magic must be exactly the same.
This is the power of God, although it seems to be incompatible with the basic laws of this world, but it is so that people have to admit it. And its ability to turn this kind of divine art, which does not conform to the principle at all, into the most basic divine art, is even more powerful than the divine descent technique in the eyes of many great magicians.
So the magicians had to admit that gods did exist, maybe 999 out of a thousand gods were misunderstandings or illusory things or even nonsense, but as long as one of them was true, then they had to accept this fact.
Subsequently, human beings began to chase the power of God at all costs.
What is the nature of God? Why was God born? What is the human being who is said to have received the blood of God, and what is the method used to possess the power of God?
In the midst of countless failures, humanity has finally found the most likely way to the path of the gods, which is an incomparably cruel and incomparably insane method, and the greatest evil committed by the ancient magic emperors.
In fact, the dynasty of ancient language magic was once the greatest pride of mankind.
At the height of ancient magic, powerful magicians ruled the land. Although it has not yet reached the point where the Hero King usually has only one voice in the entire land, the model of the joint rule of the twelve magic emperors is more widely accepted.
Until, that secret was discovered. Intoxicated by the true meaning of the Magus, the Magus has found the most likely way to the path of the gods, as well as the materials that must be used for that path.
That is, the refining of the human body, which is regarded as the greatest taboo of human magic today, uses the human being itself as a material and throws it into the magic furnace to refine various essences and materials.
The alchemy materials that are already extinct can't be found? It doesn't matter, you can easily recreate them by investing the lives of hundreds of people.
Magic items can't be enchanted well?It's simple, you can easily get a good enchantment by throwing some ordinary people into the magic furnace to burn the essence.
Magic gems naturally absorb mana too slowly? Wouldn't it be nice to lose more people in the magic furnace?
Initially used as materials were prisoners from death row and skirmishes, but soon the demand for these "materials" outstripped supply, and more methods had to be used to obtain them.
This terrible phenomenon finally reached its peak after the secret of the blood of the gods was revealed. Because powerful magicians have discovered that the so-called "blood of the gods" can be refined through magic furnaces.
The premise is that humans who believe in the same god are used as materials to be refined, and a very large number of them are required.
The humans of the northern continent were used to refine into the blood of the god of ice, Siva.
The humans of the Western Continent were used to refine into the blood of the gods of the ancient sun god Ra.
And the human beings who believe in the Most High God Cult use it to refine and create the "blood of angels".
Anyway, they are ordinary humans with no magical talent, otherwise they don't have to pin all their hopes on the gods, and being able to be used as materials is their greatest use.
This is the truth of one of the highest achievements of ancient language magic, the blood of the false gods, and the greatest crime committed by the emperors of ancient language magic. In order to obtain the blood of the gods and create the perfect bloodline that would make them immortal and enter the realm of the gods, tens of millions of humans have been thrown into the magic furnace, and the once rich land is full of tall chimneys, symbolizing the despair and fear of ordinary humans.
It was undoubtedly the peak of human magic, and through the study of the blood of the gods and humanity itself, the emperors of ancient magic performed countless miracles.
The furnace of light essence representing the fragments of the sun, the man-made demonic beasts representing the tools of war, the ancient magic princesses representing the alchemy and fusion of the human body, and the giant tower suspended in the sky, all these things that could not be imagined by modern magic were completed one by one in that era.
However, the most essential of them is still the study of "gods", or "simulations", that is, the existence of pseudo-god bloodlines.
The blood of the gods, refined from the blood and life of humans, is only a half-finished product, and even if they have a host body, they cannot reach the realm of true gods, and the arrogant ancient magic emperors are eager to let their human bodies obtain the true power of gods.
Yes, they want to be gods, and that's the biggest cause of the ancient magic war. However, they all died at the hands of Lara, the Brave of the Sword, and Elmea, who had the wisdom to see through the truth, put an end to the entire era of ancient magic and magic.
However, everything did not end like that, although the means were different and the methods were different, but what the ancient magic emperors dreamed of was indeed now conceived by the six flowers in the sky.
It was the newborn god, and although her name had been chanted by the people of the northern continent for thousands of years, the real her had only just been born at this moment.
