"By the disobedience of one man all men became sinners."

Astral Boundary, the kingdom of the eternal sun.

This is the source of calamity, the core of endless fireworks and sin, like a collapsing vortex, dragging countless lives into its dark depths.

The feathered mythical creature of flame and gold was caught off guard, and the true creator and the demon worked together perfectly, and the demon's shadow cut off the prayers of the people of Intis and prevented his oracle from reaching the ears of the faithful.

His neighboring path, the true God, is held back by the abyss of the sea, and must guard the kingdom of his followers to prevent the filthy sea of blood from further engulfing arable farmland and normal oceans. Otherwise, in the future, there will be no food on their land, and the ocean will not be suitable for marine life and fish to reproduce for a long time, and the gods of the northern continent will be a head lower than the mother earth goddess!

The outer gods fight the gods and war, and they don't even hide in the kingdom of God!

He so calmly placed his kingdom of sin on the sea, without regard for the souls in it, without regard for the existence of the kingdom of God itself, and allowed it to continue to erode reality and expand its influence, bringing malice and tides, so as to hold back all the true gods who have anchors to protect!

A wing of the Eternal Sun was torn apart by a demon, and its symbols and powers were shattered. The Decaying King casually dropped these things, and the golden rain of blood and wings fell into swirling shadows, as if another sun had revealed its light in the deep dark sea, and was about to rise.

He cried out as hard as he could, but there was no response, and as his power continued to drain and explode, He could feel as if another pair of eyes were gradually opening in his mind—He opened his eyes, but it was as if he felt another perspective!

In an instant, the flames and light on his body were several times brighter than before, and the sky in the north of the world ushered in a day with the same astonishing temperature and heat, and the gods of the astral plane cast their eyes at the same time, the sea roared angrily, and the brass eyes closed one after another.

But in the next second, the Eternal Sun suddenly fell into silence strangely. The eyes of the eternal and immortal will that originated from the path lost focus, and the process of the terrifying erosion fell silent after reaching a peak.

Silence, absolute dead silence.

Under this immeasurable erosion, all life will wither, and what will remain is a quiet desolation, like a storm roaring on the sea, and here is the eye of the storm, and a terrifying dead silence pervades the land.

In less than a second, the demon reached out and tore through the realm of endless brilliance, flowers, and golden temples, and the flames of hell burned everything out, and his blade-like claws clasped the remaining wings and neck of the Sun God Bird, tearing it with all his might!

It was as if the final word of the divine war, the Eternal Sun was torn to shreds after a few rounds of resistance, the demon carrying Him and the human carrying a dead bird, He let go of his hand, and his body fell into the shadows with its uniqueness.

In an instant, the sun was shining.

The cascading clouds were dispersed by the air waves, the sun rose, and the entire sky was rendered in an indescribable brilliant gold.

The demon wiped the blood from his hands and scales with great humanity, and his body quickly shrunk to the size of a human.

He placed a mask on his face, and the vague figure quickly gained a clear appearance.

The abyss rumbled, the sea of sin and blood ceased to spread, and the proclamation of the end times ended, and the dark and gloomy kingdom of sin sank silently into the spirit realm, establishing its coordinates on an island extremely far from the mainland.

Edward Vaughn scanned everything in the heavens, and a warm smile appeared on his expressionless face again.

The demon pressed one hand to his chest, bowed slightly, and raised the other hand to pay a curtain call to the gods.

God's curtain call.

"On the Importance of "Anchors" on the Earth, Their Influence on Social Institutions and the Behavior of the Gods

Declining kings

"When the gods of the earth (i.e., the Blue Star) chose the "anchor", they had a natural weakness and established a new system.

Most notably, the "anchor" thing began in the Tertiary period, and it is not known for sure what caused the gods to go down this path (note: the author insists that it was the shepherd God who led them astray, but the creator seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with the author's opinion1359.6.25). They are like rich people who have property, and they begin to care about their farmland, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the reproduction of their livestock. They spent more time on missions than they did digging and fighting for their authority, and the world entered a period of relative peace.

As a result, the "royal/royalty-church" system was established, and the extraordinary became a mystery to be kept, and even though it happened from time to time, it was often explained on relatively scientific grounds, and the victims were often absorbed into the church in various ways and became part of the "church system".

The author believes that the existence of the "royal family/royal family" is the highest form of the privileged class in the secular under the premise of "the need for a church system to divide the extraordinary and the secular". Although they are only puppets in most cases, they still have the duty to "maintain social stability".

In the long run, the "church system" diminishes the spread of extraordinary knowledge, which in turn reduces the competitiveness of the extraordinary world, and believers who have been proselytized by the church for a long time become loyal supporters of the gods of their faith. At the same time, the Extraordinary of the Church will gain a basic anchor with the help of the Church, and even if they are promoted to the High Order and Angel in the future, they will still maintain their faith in the gods.

(A Discussion of the Significance of the Different Class Divisions of the Aristocracy and the Church)

In addition to this, in terms of combat, there is a new tacit understanding because the gods all have the common weakness of "anchor".

For example, "do not take the lead in using the gods", and "do not fight between the true gods", etc., let the anchors of the two sides fight first, and then the gods will decide the victory or defeat of the war, so it is very likely that the "Jedi counterattack" will occur. This will not benefit the victory, and will also lose a lot of anchors in vain. Most of the anchors also don't do much to help the actions of God or the church, and an overdose of dead people can also bring down the secular and low-level chapels and social unrest...... There are many defects, but they still exist, which is a strange situation constructed by the "church system" and the "anchor system".

At the same time, because of the existence of the "anchor", the gods themselves have produced other new behaviors.

For example, "try not to do too well in managing anchors".

According to the author's guess and historical research, the "Eternal Sun" could have given sunlight only to the people of Indis, so as to gain more believers as quickly as possible, but he did not do so.

The guess is that this act harms the interests of the other five gods, and will cause the "Eternal Sun" to be attacked by the group.

From a historical perspective, the gods have collaborated twice, once at the end of the Third Age with the "Rose of Redemption" and once with the "Death of the Black Emperor" at the mid-to-late Quaternary period in the First Empire of Solomon.

The former occurred because of the primordial awakening, which threatened the lives of the gods, and the latter because Solomon and the true creator possessed a large number of anchors, which also threatened the interests and lives of the gods. The reasons for the fall of the Second Empire were similar to those of the First Empire.

Conclusion: The gods can tolerate a certain degree of division of interests, but will cooperate in the face of a consistent threat to life.

This is an important means of dividing and striking at them.

The second is the effect of the division of the effect of the "anchor" on God's behavior.

The specific research example is "Fenerport", a kingdom that believes in the "Mother Earth Goddess".

Based on the author's research and comparison, I have come to the conclusion that the effect of the "anchor" will vary according to the ability of the believer under the same degree of religious piety. It is known that mortals < extraordinary < high-level extraordinary, and the effect of the faith of ten thousand mortals on the gods is basically comparable to that of a demigod in a stable state. And more mortals (the author has not been able to come up with an exact number) can be on par with the pious angels...... Through the study of the limited number of primitive gods in the Rorsted Islands, it is concluded that tens of thousands of people are enough to maintain the balance between the "humanity" and "divinity" of a divine being, and the excess "anchor" symbolizes the maximum range of the liberation power of the gods in the event of a divine war (the author has not been able to draw accurate data conclusions).

But human nature cannot grow uncontrollably due to divinity, and the essence of the "anchor" is to constantly help the divine to perceive the mortal world and establish contact with mortals. This is another argument that the author proposes to maintain the "sane maximum" of the number of people.

Based on this premise, the author has many doubts:

"If 500,000 people are enough to maintain the sanity of Mother Earth God, then what is the meaning of the existence of the rest of Fenerpoter?"

In the event of a divine war, is it enough to take into account only 500,000 people?

Or, if one saint is equal to ten thousand, who is more important in the choice?

The author has a hunch that this is a rather subtle and obscure research direction, because as a country that believes in the "Mother Earth Goddess", Fenerport still has not solved the problem of food and clothing for the people at the bottom, and when there is turmoil in the northern continent, there are almost no rumors and refugee waves such as "fleeing people rushing to Fenerport...... In addition to encouraging fertility (encouraged by the gods), the price of their food is not much different from that of foreign countries, but sometimes they will increase their value under the banner of "harvest blessing", and become a treasure for domestic and foreign nobles, a symbol of status, the church does not object, but this is contrary to the essential purpose of human belief in "Mother Earth God" and "Planting God......

This is a very strange suspicion, but it can be explained for the same reason as the "Eternal Sun".

The gods don't need to do well, they just don't need to be the worst, because they have enough anchors to maintain a stable "sane maximum".

Privilege and privilege are contrasted, and when efforts fail to change class and destiny, the kingdom of God plays its role in stabilizing reality.

The author believes that although there are seven gods in the Northern Continent at the same time, they are still essentially a monotheistic world.

There is basically only one god in each country, and a believer often believes in only one god...... In countries with polytheistic beliefs, such as Rune and Fenerport, although there are slight differences, the liberality and freedom of faith between the two countries are often reflected in "non-discrimination against infidels" and "freedom of conversion". Relatively speaking, if you convert in both countries, you will not lose your previous connections and social status...... This is the enlightened place of slight progress.

The research on the topic of "one anchor for multiple purposes" has been put on hold for the time being, and the world lacks high-order believers who believe in multiple gods at the same time.

From the perspective of the development of human history, "monotheistic belief" is the inevitable evolution of "polytheistic belief", "monotheism" has the strongest cohesion, the strongest executive power, the strongest appeal, can bring the greatest benefits to God and the church, and human beings are a socialized race.

(A paragraph about the inference and implementation of "one anchor for multiple purposes")

This is the end of this topic, and the author will clarify the similarities and differences with the concept of "family" in the starry sky in the following research.

January 12, 1301

Fursac, Insatu, heavy snow"

……

Trier, Cathedral of Light.

When the rain of fire and brimstone ceased to fall, the shadows of the sky were closed and turned into a man dressed in robes. Blonde young man with dark hair.

He walked through the burning street, his palm pressed down, and the golden flame died down.

He has begun to take prayers in place of the Eternal Sun to calm the panicked faithful, and the best way to do that is to let the calamity subside.

Trier was largely protected at his request, and there were only a handful of disasters in Intis, with a total of about 10,000 victims. The demon is really reassuring in this regard, the real creator asked him to save Intis as much as possible, then he really did not let any power escape from the kingdom of God, as long as there is the power and status of cooperation, basically anything can be obtained.

The real Creator looked at the cathedral, which had been calcined by flames, and in the blazing sunlight and flames, it still did not stand, or even shine brighter. In addition to the religious factor, the church art of Indis has long been developed to the peak, they are extravagant, extravagant, using gold to buy a large number of fine building materials, employing artists to paint the zenith, and even using gold as one of the building materials, more like a symbol of the divine majesty, more like a symbol of human pursuit of sacred and noble art.

It is a work of art constructed by religion and humanity together.

As he gazed at this great cathedral, the real creator's mind came up with the first church after his awakening, the church that had been temporarily rebuilt in the underground base of the Aurora Society in Beckland, more than five meters high, not noble, and revealing the atmosphere of an upstart.

"It's a pity that it's all ruined."

As he struggled to recall the contents of the smashed gem mural, a voice sounded behind him with a mournful tone, speaking strangely from his heart. He did not look back, and soon a figure dressed in black came to Him.

Edward, once again dressed in human form, walked up slowly, holding the head of a broken sculpture in his hand.

The demon smiled and asked Him, "Are you happy?" ”

"It's not happy, it's not sad." The True Creator calmly said, "I just feel that history has once again returned to square one." What's the matter with your face? You don't have to disguise it. ”

"Do as the locals do."

Edward looked left and right, and with a smile tapped the ground with the ruby cane in his hand, "I think this identity is very handy." What are you going to say next, 'The Creator has opened His right eye'? Right eye or left eye, who became the sun? ”

Without waiting for the true Creator to answer, He took out a pamphlet full of notes from his pocket and flipped through it:

"The Creator awoke from the chaos, broke through the darkness, created the first rays of light, and Himself became completely integrated into the universe, incarnated into all things, His body became the earth, became the stars, His eyes became the sun and the red moon, and part of His blood rushed into the sea and rivers, nourishing and giving birth to life......"

"His Spirit is incarnated as the eternal sun, the Lord of the storms, the God of knowledge and wisdom......"

The demon snorted, "I didn't say it." ”

The True Creator pouted at this passage and did not comment.

He looked up and asked,

"Are you going to break the extraordinary concealment now? For such a big thing, only the underground volcano erupts continuously. The coast of the mainland was violently impacted, the plates cracked and sank, solar eclipses, cult members took advantage of the chaos, gas explosions, collective hallucinations...... to be able to explain it. ”

The True Creator withdrew his gaze from the newborn sun in heaven and said casually:

"It's going to break."

"But the specific language needs to be considered."

"Then I'll come back and bother you." Edward said, "I have a cake shop that I like very much, and I haven't been here for 50 years, and I wonder if it's the grandson of the owner I know." See you later. ”

"See you later."

"What do you want to eat?"

"See you later."

Edward smiled, and he turned away, saying goodbye to the true Creator who was going in the other direction.

After a few steps, he suddenly felt as if he was still holding a useless object in his hand, so he flew up and kicked the unknown head out of the way, smashing it into the ruins in the distance.

Humming a song and walking briskly, he left the city, where the flames were slowly extinguishing.
