Chapter 231: True Gods
When people are faced with a thing that they know part of the matter but do not know the complete ins and outs, they often have the habit of relying on their own will and guessing to complete the matter, which is called brain supplement.
It's hard to say whether it's good or bad...... Jun didn't see Si [beep-] Yi soldiers approaching the city, and saw Zhuge [beep-] Ming sitting on top of the empty city and caressing the piano indifferently, and instantly made up for the fatal ambush in the city and then led the team to escape, this is a bad example of brain supplementation; Jun doesn't see the body is a child's mind but an adult's famous detective [beep-] Nan can always crack the criminals' brain-racking modus operandi through a little clue, this is a good example of the correct use of brain supplement...... Aller, it seems that the style difference between the two examples is a bit big? Sure enough, Uncle Maori [beep-] Goro should be used here as the opposite typical more appropriate situation?
...... Ahem, in short, although the thinking activity of brain supplementation cannot be judged as a bad behavior in a nutshell, there are still quite unreliable factors in the end.
For example, right now, because of Cheruth's ambiguous and ambiguous attitude and some one-sided information he knew before, Xingxi naturally made up a pitiful and pathetic character image for Cheruth's brain who was adopted and brainwashed by the enemy since she was a child, and when she grew up, she coldly attacked the people who should be her dear relatives without knowing the truth.
"Do you know, we Nolan are not 'Demon Descendants' at all, we are...... Seed of God!"
Of course, Chelus didn't know what a tragic life experience Xingxi had made up for her brain in her heart, so she didn't understand why Xingxi's topic jumped so much before and after, why Xingxi's eyes were full of regret when she looked at her, as if she was looking at a misguided girl who had lost her footing, but this did not prevent her from understanding what Xingxi was talking about, and to be honest, the material exposed by Xingxi did successfully attract her curiosity.
"Huh...... The Nolans are the descendants of God?"
Xingxi furrowed her delicate eyebrows, and Cheruth did look a little shocked by her words, but it was far from what she expected. You must know that those hardcore believers who have been brainwashed are undoubtedly not emotional or crazy when it comes to the crisis and collapse of their faith, and she is even prepared to use force to suppress it if Chelsea has a strong rejection reaction to what she said, she would rather use force to suppress it than restrain the wolf girl so that she can listen to the truth.
However, looking at the way Cheruth looks now, it is surprising and surprising, but it does not seem to be the reaction that a person should have when the common sense of what one believes is subverted, but more like the surprise of a bystander when a child who listens to a story suddenly hears the great reversal in the plot of the story.
Why, why is it such a reaction that seems to be out of the way......
Xingxi didn't know that as a soul traveler from another world, under the influence of the dual factors of memories of her previous life and being exiled since childhood, Cheruth could be said to have no sense of belonging to the Nolan clan. In dealing with the Nolan family, Cheruth has always put herself in the role of an unrelated person who is helplessly involved in the incident, so for the question of whether the Nolan people are the descendants of demons or the descendants of gods, Cheruth can't personally experience the grievances and anger of being a Nolan, she only has an objective attitude of wanting to explore the truth.
"You don't seem surprised?"
In any case, this topic is a pain in the hearts of the Nolan survivors that they can never let go, and it is also one of the reasons why they hate the Solan Cult to the extreme, so Xingxi instinctively felt dissatisfied with Cheruth's "cold" reaction, and asked with a raised brow.
"Uh? no, I was surprised, um......" Although I didn't quite understand why Xingxi was suddenly angry with him, but because this was a rare opportunity to learn more about the grievances between Nolan and Solan back then, Cheruth decisively followed Xingxi's meaning, "...... It's just that what you said is so surprising that I can't accept it for a while......"
Xingxi's raised eyebrows fell, and he accepted the explanation.
“...... Our Nolan clan is the descendants of the gods, and this matter is one of the biggest secrets of the continent of Areth since the Age of Mythology, even within the Nolan clan, it was originally a secret that only a few elders of each generation knew. However, 14 years ago, the actions of the Solanism caused a sudden disaster to the Norlan clan, which had always been indisputable in the world, and it was only after the questioning of us survivors that the Great Elder told us the original truth. ”
"But," Chelus scratched her head, "in that case, why would the Solan Cult do such a thing? So, since the Solan Cult is a believer in God, it should be full of respect for the descendants of God, right?"
"Respect?" Xingxi smiled mockingly, "They don't have any respect, they wish the Nolan never existed in this world." ”
"Uh......"
"The Solans believe in the gods of fire and light, and they record in their teachings that the god of fire brings fire from the heavens to spread warmth to the world, and the god of light brings light to the world to dispel darkness...... But the real gods of fire and light, the two brothers Solan Duke and Solan Brand, have never done such a thing, and they are not capable of doing such a thing, if you want to ask why......
"Because the two Solan brothers, their true identities are two demon god-level human magicians who reached the pinnacle in the field of fire magic and light magic in the mythological era. The reason why they are called the gods of fire and light is because they have made incomparable great achievements in the battle against demons, and secondly, because their understanding of fire and light has surpassed all living beings in this world, and they have not only comprehended all the original laws of fire and light, but even created their own laws of fire and light on top of this, which are independent of the original law system of this world. ”
Cheruth's eyes widened, the main bodies of the God of Fire and the God of Light were actually just two human powerhouses who had reached the pinnacle......?
“...... The 'God of Fire' and 'God of Light' that the Cult of Solan believes in are not really gods, they are just a kind of honorific title for their supreme strength?"
Xingxi nodded, then shook his head again.
This understanding cannot be wrong, but in fact, in the mythological era of thousands of years ago, they were indeed gods in the eyes of the beings of that era. ”
"I don't understand ......"
"What kind of beings do you think can be called gods?"
What kind of existence is a god? Chelus blinked, as if she had caught some kind of thought in her mind, but she didn't seem to understand anything, and she was a little confused.
Xingxi also seemed to expect that Ceros would not be able to answer this question, and did not wait for her answer to continue speaking.
"In the Age of Mythology, demons from the Void invaded the continent of Areth, they had no order, no emotion, and their sole purpose was to destroy all life and civilization. At the beginning, in the face of the demon army, the various races on the continent were only fighting on their own, but as the war continued, the demons were beyond the imagination of each race in terms of strength and number, even the dragons with strong individual strength and the ancestral elves of the various races who had originally developed the most glorious civilization at that time could not defeat them head-on.
"And what stood up at this time was a group of supreme beings who had reached the peak of the world with the same strength as the Solan brothers, and were even able to create their own laws in their respective fields. Unlike the current era when their strength is withering and even seven-star sages and hero-level fighters are rare, the strongest people who survive in the era of mythology are superior in strength to eight-star demon gods and legendary fighters, and they are living myths that can cause the transformation of heaven and earth between real gestures.
"These supreme people in their respective battlefields with their own strength to turn the tide, protect hundreds of millions of people of all races, they also came forward to take the lead, for the demon army at that time to cut off the road of communication between the various races in various parts of the continent, the establishment of a unified alliance of all races and launched a counterattack against the demons in one fell swoop to recapture the lost homeland, for the beings of all races who almost fell into despair under the attack of the demons at that time, these supreme beings are their only hope and reliance, and because of this, they were originally only called by respect for the strength of the strongestThe name 'God' gradually became some real beliefs, and became the first rudiments of religion on the mainland.
"However, these supreme beings are only 'man-made' 'gods' after all, they are not as omniscient and omniscient as people think, they can also make mistakes, they also have desires, and they will also be born, old, sick and die, but these are just very normal things for ordinary people, but they are unacceptable to the 'gods' who are believed in by all beings. I don't know when the beliefs originally derived from their deeds have gradually detached themselves from their own existence, and have become some perfect but distant gods full of fiction and imagination, but more in line with the ideals of believers and sentient beings.
"Although the strongest have sensed the deterioration of the beliefs of all beings, in that protracted war with the demons, the creatures of all races need some spiritual support to support their bodies and fighting spirits, and the strongest have also found that some of their followers who have strong beliefs can even comprehend and use the new laws they have created through some unknown rules, and become brave and good magicians on the battlefieldThe role of the 'gods' ......"
In one breath, revealing all the truths of the year that were enough to subvert the cognition of all theologians in this era, Xingxi once again looked at Cheruth, who had a somewhat dull expression because of the amount of information he received, and slightly provoked the corners of his mouth.
“...... Now you understand, there is no god in this world, and the so-called faith and religion are just a deformed personality cult derived from the war in the mythological era. ”
