"The Emperor passed by the village and killed the winged glowing round beast—a description of what appears to be the Sumerian god of war, Ashul? The emperor buried the beast's corpse, but the people in the village saw the beast and became a beast. The Great killed them. Yan Luge's gaze fell on a textual description, "You see, polluting and transmissible, this description is very much like a pollutant. ”

Shicotti also picked up a mud and stone slab: "There is also this passage, the emperor admonishes his people: If you encounter a filthy and filthy beast, you must cover your eyes, cover your ears, and stay away. I think it's a lot like a way for mortals to escape from pollutants. Could it be that since then, there have been contaminants? ”

"Maybe." Yan Luge opened the last volume of clay and stone tablets related to the Great Emperor and read softly, "The Great Emperor said: The beast of filth is a beast, not a god. The people of Nishizawa do not believe in God and do not worship God. Faith in God cannot be spread among men.

"The Great said: The river at its source has been drained, and a new guardian will not be born. But the old Guardians will still protect Nishizawa.

"The Emperor built the Tower of Babel and took away the Beast of Filth.

"The Great Emperor slew the Beast of Filth, but the Great Emperor also slept in it."

It's a simple text, but the bloody killing intent in it is rushing to the face.

The Filthy Beast is most likely referring to a powerful pollutant, perhaps a different species.

The Great Emperor, the Guardians, these people are probably the last generation of transcendents four thousand years ago.

The Emperor built the Tower of Babel, took the filthy beast out of the main space, and then exterminated it, and finally died himself.

Mangula Nishizawa's name "The Godslayer" does not come from the killing of real gods, but from the fact that he killed a mad, almost god-like powerful xenomorph. He single-handedly put an end to human belief in gods, so his title eventually became "The Godslayer".

After reading this paragraph, and some doubts in his heart were solved, Yan Luge raised his eyes and looked at Shi Curti: "In your records, when did the words 'god' and 'faith' appear? ”

Pointing to the clay slab in the Singer of Words, Scotti said in a slightly strange tone: "Four thousand years ago, it was in this volume in your hand that these words first appeared. My history teacher once said that this meant that for the first time, systematic 'religious beliefs' were introduced to Nishizawa, rather than the village and family worshipping only their own primitive totems or traditional priests, as was the case before. ”

Yanlu Song said softly, "heh", I don't know if it was ridicule or simply funny.

He tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "Then do you know when the origins of several major religions on Aquamarine originated?" ”

When Scotti took a deep breath and said the answer, a creepy feeling somehow welled up in her heart: "Most religions originated four thousand years ago, and then evolved and split over the course of four thousand years. ”

"Taking 4,000 years ago as the dividing line, before that was the 'Age of Cultivation', and after that was the 'Age of Faith'. In the last 300 years, with the development of science and technology, people have gradually been freed from blind and ignorant beliefs, which I call the 'age of technology'. Yan Luge tapped lightly on the table, his face was calm, and even a little leisurely, "I have a guess, I'm not sure, just listen to it."

"The humans on Aquamarine used to be a transcendent civilization dominated by the use of auras and the use of spells. But four thousand years ago, extraterrestrial gods descended, took away all the Origin Aura, severed all transcendent inheritances, and polluted many people into their fanatics.

"The leaders of the transcendents at the time, such as Nishizawa's God Slayer Emperor, led his people in a battle to the death against the pollutants when their aura was cut off, and eventually destroyed them alive, leaving Nishizawa with the admonition of 'not believing in gods, not believing in gods'.

"He's a real hero.

"There are also transcendents who survived and did not die in this great war. But by the time their generation died, no new transcendent beings had ever been born on the planet.

"The transcendent inheritance is now broken, and the 'era of cultivation' is over.

Then, the pollutant disappeared, but the legend of faith was passed down, perhaps among the healed mild polluters. The legends of cultivators, the legends of transcendent beings, the legends of gods, the legends of pollutants, the legends of aliens, all kinds of things were mixed together to form a plausible religion. Since then, human civilization on the Blue Star has entered the 'Age of Faith'.

And the ridiculous and sad thing is that the savior and the monster they desperately resisted were actually written into the same religious book as the same thing in later generations.

"Modern scholars generally believe that during the period of ignorance, human beings concocted omnipotent gods, religions, and beliefs in order to explain the unsolved mysteries of nature.

"But the truth is that human beings with supernatural powers never believe in God, they believe only in themselves.

"All the faiths in the world are because they have come, and mankind has seen them."

Yes.

Humans have never had faith.

When they came and humans took a look, there was a legend of the gods in the world.

Even though the last generation of transcendents has slain all the pollutants.

But the embers and shadows of the gods still loom over humanity like cobwebs.

It has been spreading until 4,000 years later......

Unable to break free.

Irresistible.

There is no escaping it.

Them, the gods on high, have clearly done nothing.

They just bent down and gently picked up a lost pearl of the night from the nest, not even intentionally harming an ant.

But the civilization of ants was destroyed - no light was seen in their nests anymore.

The will of some ants is distorted - they involuntarily worship God, worship God, and try to become God.

Some normal ants bite the distorted ants, but faith still takes root in the nest — a voice that says, "Worship God, worship God, worship God."

Until 4,000 years later......

The tone of the song is very plain and calm, just like a common little knowledge in popular science.

But when Scotti understood the true meaning of his words, it was as if she had seen through a thin layer of ice into the abyss.

An extremely deep, cold chill surged up from the tail vertebrae and spread throughout the body.

For the first time in her history, she felt a terrification to the bone.

"That's scared?" Yan Luge supported his head with one hand, and turned his pen with the other hand boringly, "Are humans so fragile?" ”

Nishizawa's eldest daughter seemed to be a little frightened.

After understanding how terrifying the gods were, and perhaps even distorting the history of human civilization in the sea blue star, she has been in a state of shock and shattering.

So much so that when she was leaving, Scotti looked in a trance, and her face was not quite right.

Yan Luge felt that he didn't say anything......

He just saw some evidence, solved some long-standing doubts, and had a very reliable guess, so he chatted with the people around him about his feelings...... As for such a surprise?

The human civilization in his previous life was on the verge of destruction, and he didn't see anyone collapse and commit suicide, and everyone who could live one more day was unwilling to die.

The enemy is terrifying, but as the leader of a transcendent organization, you need the courage to swing your sword at the gods in a desperate situation.

"If you can't do it, don't meddle in the otherworld." Yan Luge muttered, "By the way, send it to Lao Zheng and give them a try?" I don't know how he reacted. ”

After saying that, Yan Luge took out his mobile phone and sent a voice message to Zheng Qingming of Tianzhou No. 101 Command: "I have a guess, I'm not sure, just listen to it......

“…… Humans with supernatural powers never believe in God, they only believe in themselves. All the faiths in the world are because they have come, and mankind has looked at them. ”

……

Five minutes later.

Tianzhou, Headquarters of Command 101.

Zheng Qingming held his mobile phone in his hand and rushed out of the office building with an extremely ugly face.

In his hurry, his tie was half crooked, and half of his shirt ran out of the waistband of his trousers, and he didn't notice it.

As soon as he got in the car, he yelled at the driver in a hurry: "Drive, I'm going to see the director!" ”
