Chapter 24: Ancient Truths

Looking at the somewhat dazed looks of his companions, Alex sighed slightly, looked up at the dark roof, and seemed to be a little distracted. After a while, he retracted his gaze and said softly: "The history I know is not like this. Maybe it's a different perspective, looking at an object from a different angle, maybe it's a different image. ”

"History is the same, although the result is so unchangeable, but from different positions and angles, maybe the process of seeing is also very different, but there may be many truths that have been deliberately covered up and distorted by some people, and annihilated in the cognition of the vast majority of people......"

It seemed that for a moment, Ete suddenly felt Alex feel an indescribable feeling of frustration and loneliness, but this feeling seemed to flash by, and the deep voice continued to sound.

"The recorded history of mankind, roughly as little Safenter just said, after the battle of Ragnarok, human beings dominated the fate of their own race, with wisdom and courage, through difficulties, and finally rose in this land, although there were many internal strife in the process, but still thriving and developing to this day, becoming one of the most powerful races on the continent. ”

"But before the Battle of Dusk, it wasn't the current big races that dominated the continent. You may be wondering, why do you want to talk about these historical things, and what does it have to do with what we are talking about in black scales, because the black scales appeared in the very early days before the Battle of Dusk, which we now call ancient times. ”

"At that time, humanity was still a very weak race, living on a continent far larger than it is now. At that time, the continent was controlled by two camps, one was the gods that are still revered and worshipped by us, and it may be that the people on the continent only know that there are gods, but they do not know their true identity. In fact, most of the gods are from the same race, that is, the Dawn God Race. ”

Hearing this, little Safent couldn't help but interject: "Dawn Protoss, it's really the first time I've heard this name. Dawn Protoss...... Dawn Continent, the land we are in is called Dawn Continent, is there any connection between this?"

"Of course. ”

Alex said lightly: "The origin of the name of the Dawn Continent is named after the name of this powerful god race. ”

"As the name suggests, since it can be called the Protoss, it can be seen that this race is strong. No one knows where they came from or when they appeared on this continent, but legend has it that they were born at the beginning of this distant era, just like the Chaos Demons, who were the leaders of the other faction at the time, the spokesmen of darkness and chaos, and who controlled countless dark races. In the chaos at the beginning of the formation of the world, which was filled with rich and violent primordial energy, light and darkness intertwined and collided to produce this world, and in the first ray of light was born the Morning Haze Protoss, and on the back of the light, in the most intense darkness, the Chaos Demon Race quietly evolved. ”

"They are all darlings of heaven and earth, born with great strength and infinite potential. But as two extremes, just like the two sides of an object, light and darkness are constantly changing, and the Chaos Demon Clan and the Morning Mist God Clan have been fighting each other since they appeared, but neither of them can completely exorcise the other with equal strength. With the passage of time, everything sprouts, and one race after another on this continent has quietly appeared, multiplied and grown, but those intelligent races want to reproduce and survive on the continent, only by choosing one of these two camps, and receiving their protection can they safely continue to reproduce and develop on this continent. Otherwise, they will slowly disappear into the long river of time, just like those legends that they heard from the troubadours that now only exist in legends and have long since died. ”

"Of course, there is a price to be paid for accepting asylum, which is to become a vassal race of one of the two camps. Although it may sound a little embarrassing now, it truly reflects the real situation of those races attached to the two camps at that time, because they not only had to pay tribute to the fruits of most of the hard work of the members of the group, but also unconditionally obeyed any dispatch of the dominant party, ready to give them whatever they could. ”

"Didn't the human race at that time have gods of their own race to protect themselves? Like the great god of light, Elosis, the guardian of hunters and adventurers, the god of hunting, and the goddess of wisdom, Mosini, aren't they all the gods of our human race?

Hearing Alex's story, little Safin couldn't help but feel a little indignant, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, humans are gods of their own race, and these are the three gods you mentioned. ”

Alex continued unhurriedly, "But, first of all, you have to know what a god is, in other words, do you know where the name god comes from, and what does it mean?"

When the four of them heard Alex's question, they immediately looked at each other speechlessly, staring at each other blankly for a long time, and finally, Ete stiffened his scalp and said, "Oh...... That god, of course, is omnipotent, omniscient, eh...... Anything can be done, ah, yes, and there is the special divine power, immortality, and the ability to fly in the sky, to be able to fly far, far away at once, and ......"

It seemed that Ite had suddenly burst into inspiration, and her hands danced and gushed excitedly.

"Okay, okay, enough is enough, don't say it anymore......"

Alex smiled wryly, seeing that the other prisoners in the dim shadows not far away began to notice something strange about them, and quickly stopped Yat's increasingly elated performance.

Hiding his figure as much as possible in the darkness that others could not reach, Alex continued helplessly: "If you want to know the true meaning of the title god, you must first understand the division of the ability level of professionals on this continent. ”

"The so-called professional is a general term for the current warriors, magicians, and magicians. Of course, in ancient times, the range of professions was much broader, and many different professions at that time have long since disappeared with the extinction of one race after another, such as the once famous goblin fire crossbowman, the megalith thrower, and other professions that sound very strange now. The professions that have been passed down from ancient times to the present day are now grouped into three categories: warriors, magicians, and magicians. Warriors, as the name suggests, include all creatures in the continent who practice martial arts, including knights, archers, warriors who use various weapons without mounts, and assassins who are good at assassinating in the shadows. Mages can be subdivided into elemental mages, undead mages, and dark mages, as well as extremely rare mages such as cursed and space, which are almost extinct on the mainland. The theorcerer is the believer of those devout gods, after communicating with the gods they believe in, they use themselves as a conductor to transmit the divine power of the gods. But as for the division of professional ranks, I think little Safent should be very clear, so let's talk about them. ”

Little Safant, who was hearing the words, was stunned when he heard this, muttered for a moment, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll tell you what I know briefly." ”

"No matter what kind of profession, including the mystical magicians and the highly respected magicians, the division of ranks has always adhered to the rules handed down from ancient times, although I don't know who made the rules, but it has always been an absolute rule, and no one or force dares to question it. This hierarchical rule divides professionals into three tiers and five grades. The three levels are high, medium, and low, and below the low level, but the beginners who have passed the assessment and entered a certain career threshold are called apprentices, and above the high level, it is an unknowable realm, which is not something that mortals can imagine, and it is said that they have touched the edge of the rules, the threshold of the divine realm, and this level is called the legendary realm. To be able to reach the realm of legends, among the many races on the human race and even the entire continent, there are only a few records in history, and as for what is above the realm of legends, it is not something we can achieve and imagine. I've looked through all the books I can find, and I don't know much about them. ”

"Yes, the division of the third and fifth ranks, this is the principle we know and have always followed. But in fact, in ancient times, this criterion was the seventh order, and above the high level, there were three realms, namely legends, demigods, and gods. The seventh-order god system is the cultivation path that ancient professionals have been working hard to follow. But after all, for the races on the continent now, the demigods and gods realm is almost an unattainable dream, and even mentioning it feels like a blasphemy against the gods, so after the gods left, they simply changed the original seventh-order god promotion system to a third-order fifth-class, and the highest level was only retained in the legendary realm, which has been followed to this day. ”

Alex's tone was full of emotion and loneliness, as if he regretted the status quo of humanity until now.

"Seventh-Order Divine Advancement System...... Could it be that through one's own cultivation, mortals can also peek into the secrets of the gods......? Is it just the name of the end of the cultivation path?"

Little Safin was a little shocked by these words, and muttered to himself in a daze.
