Chapter 232: History and Doubts

There is no god in this world, but when there are many worshippers, the one who is worshiped becomes a god.

Xingxi's statement was not difficult to understand, and Chelus quickly understood what she meant. The twin gods of Solan worshipped by the Solan Cult, as well as the various gods worshipped by sects and races of all sizes on the continent, are not really gods born from chaos with this world as recorded in the doctrine, guarding the world from the beginning of the world and educating all beings. They are just some powerful people who were deified in the war with demons in the mythological age, but in later years, people added their own ideals to their images, coupled with the embellishment and advocacy of people with hearts, and unintentionally, a half-truth and half-false god was created in this way.

This pattern of faith evolution is actually not a maverick, at least when Cheruth was on earth in her previous life, almost all the major religious idols on the earth were shaped in this way, and at that time, I had not heard of anything similar to the fact that so-and-so Catholics knew that their most admired Jesus, who had a prototype in history, and felt that their faith collapsed and then saw through the red dust and escaped into the empty door (?).

However, on the continent of Ares, some religions, including the Solan Cult, did not dare to admit that the god they worshipped was actually just an actual anti-demon hero in the mythological era. The reason for this, at least in Cheruth's opinion, is not difficult to understand.

On Earth, people do not have such powerful abilities as magic or fighting spirit, and although those religious idols would rely on some supernatural legends of strange powers and gods in the era before science was developed, what really made them pass down through the ages was some of their ideas and advocacy, and the teachings that guided the words and deeds of the people with those things. These ideas and teachings have a strong exclusive character, because the believers believe in the religious views that have evolved from the personal words and deeds of those religious idols, so these religious idols are largely unique to the believers and difficult to replace.

However, on the continent of Ares, becoming a god to be worshiped by tens of millions of believers is obviously not just a matter of moving your lips and talking about a few words of life and values, as Xingxi said, those who are the strongest first became gods of everyone's faith have two opportunities, one is that they have made outstanding contributions in the war against demons, and the other is that they have strength in their own field that no one else can match. Unfortunately, however, these two conditions are clearly not as irreplaceable as those of the individual mind.

In other words, if there is a person who has made a significant contribution in the years to come, in some event that will affect the whole continent, and he is strong enough in the field of light magic to be proud of his time, then should the title of God of Light be changed to that person? This kind of child's play is obviously not allowed to happen to a large sect.

Then the question arises, the previous God of Light was originally just a strong person who met these two conditions, so why did he have the qualifications to be worshiped under the same circumstances and this new person did not? If someone insists on seizing on this point, then it is very likely that this new strong man will really pull up a new sect of light belief in addition to the Solan God Cult, and even take away the bright and orthodox status of the Solan God Sect by virtue of the new Light God that was praised out.

Led by the Cult of Solan, the great sects that have been handed down since the Mythological Age obviously cannot allow such a thing to happen, so they began to intensify their "god-making activities" in the period after the end of the Mythological Age and the fall of the gods.

The major sects began to glorify the fallen "gods" they believed in, to cover up all the weaknesses that were inconvenient for people to know, and even to make up some false legends...... They didn't dare to do this when the strongest were still alive, but now that the "gods" have fallen, they, as the most faithful followers of the gods, have naturally become the spokesmen of the gods in the eyes of ordinary people.

In this way, the "gods" who have fallen in the war appear unique and unique, so as to consolidate the irreplaceable position of these gods...... Or maybe it's actually consolidating the position of these ancient sects, which have lost their religious idols in the face and do not want to be lost to history.

“...... However, there is a big loophole in the god-making plans of the Solan Cult and other sects. ”

Xingxi said, raising her right hand, and Cheruth saw that on the back of her right hand, there was a mysterious mark that resembled the God-given mark on her forehead, shining white.

"Before the gods fell, I don't know for what purpose, or under what circumstances, they left their descendants on the continent, that is, our Nolan clan.

"The first generation of Nolan people, all raised by the first patriarch from a young age, before leaving, the first patriarch told these children who were raised by him that the Nolan people are all descendants of the gods, the evidence is that they are born with the power of the law, which is the same as the gods' own exclusive law, not the special law power of the origin law of this world.

"However, the gods also seem to be worried that after their fall, their descendants will rely on these exclusive law powers that are inherently different from the origin of the world to once again disrupt the continent that has finally restored peace, so the gods let the first patriarch leave a warning that 'the Nolan clan must not participate in the strife on the continent', and work together to impose the law of origin seal on their descendants' bloodline, so that the Nolan clan will lose the ability to use fighting energy and magic, so as to prevent some clansmen from relying on powerful power to troublemine the world...... Uh, what's wrong?"

Xingxi was halfway through his words, when he suddenly saw Chelus's little face suddenly pulled, and he couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

"Uh...... It's okay, it's okay, I just suddenly feel a little pitted......"

Hey, just verbally admonish, how can you really apply this kind of ruthless seal to the extreme, is the Nolan clan really the descendants of those Rausch gods, why do the ancestors and seniors of other families try their best to leave the best resources and conditions for their descendants, but the ancestors of their Nolan family are so pitiful......

Xingxi, who didn't know what Cheruth was thinking, only thought that Cheruth was a little shocked after hearing the truth, and continued without thinking too much.

"In this way, the secrets of the Nolan tribe have only been told to the patriarchs and elders of each generation since the second generation, and each generation of Nolan people has also been warned by their fathers that they can travel but are absolutely not allowed to participate in the disputes of any forces on the continent...... Until that day 14 years ago......"

Xingxi's expression was visibly excited, and his fair face was slightly flushed with angry emotion.

“...... The Solanists silently sent an army of forbidden spell mages to the outskirts of our village, and suddenly unleashed the forbidden spell on the village where our Nolans had lived in seclusion for generations...... They must not know how to know the origin of the Nolans, and they are afraid that someone will become curious about the Nolans, so as to find out that the secrets they have hidden for thousands of years about the gods are actually just some powerful people. ”

Cheruth was silent, as if there was a tape recorder in her head that had pressed the playback button, constantly reviewing all that Xingxi had told her.

This was the first time she had heard the secrets of the extermination in such a complete way since she came to this world, and although she didn't quite understand why Xingxi suddenly told her everything, Cheruth estimated that Xingxi might just see that she didn't want to admit the identity of the Nolan, so she wanted to tell all the hardships that the Nolan people had gone through to inspire her to resonate with her as a Nolan and her hatred for the Solan Cult.

To tell the truth, after listening to Xingxi's words at first, Cheruth was indeed full of disgust and anger at what the Solan Cult had done. Although she didn't have a strong sense of self-consciousness as a Nolan clan in her heart, even from a bystander's point of view, Solan's approach was unacceptable. This is clearly a disgusting conspiracy by those ancient sects for the sake of their own reputation and status, not only to make up the strongest people who fought against demons and guarded the beings on the continent in the mythological era into inexplicable gods whose whole body is full of illusory lies, but also wanted to cut off the only bloodline left by the heroes of the ancients, and even slandered them as demon descendants.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Cheruth suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

For the safety of the continent, in order to prevent future generations from indiscriminately using the exclusive law abilities left by the gods, the gods sealed the ability of the Nolan people who are their descendants to use fighting spirit and magic...... At first glance, this may seem like a manifestation of the great feelings of the gods who did not hesitate to sacrifice their egos for the sake of the future of all beings on the mainland, but when you think about it, this is actually a very unreasonable thing.

Since they have the ability to seal the fighting spirit and magic, why not try to limit the innate law power in the people from the beginning or simply seal it away? You know, the fighting spirit and magic are the two most basic combat skills in this world, and sealing these two skills is tantamount to limiting the Nolan people's self-protection ability in this world to a very embarrassing situation...... In order to protect this world, they did not hesitate to sacrifice the Nolan clan as descendants to this point, and if they can really do this, then those supreme beings are almost no different from saints, and such saints with the spirit of dedication and sacrifice as religious idols still want believers to whitewash their lives and cover up their weaknesses?

From another point of view, after discovering the truth of the Nolan tribe, can't the Solan Cult see that the Nolan Cult, who have been living in seclusion on the mainland from the Douqi Era, to the present, have no fanfare desire to restore the honor of their ancestors?

And what's even stranger is that, according to Xingxi, when the gods were still alive, they were all some of the strongest beings who shone in the battle against the demons, similar to the existence of national idols...... Such a group of people, the descendants they left behind in this world, how could they be so sneakily gathered together and secluded without anyone knowing, and the result was really unknown to anyone, until the Wizard Era a thousand years later?

Wrong...... Something is wrong......
