Chapter 7: Totem Deities

Wang Lin's words made everyone feel uneasy.

What kind of world was it thousands of years ago, or even hundreds of millions of years ago? Huge humanoid creatures and unknown civilizations with brilliant science and technology make people think about it.

Perhaps in the Cretaceous period, dinosaurs were not the masters of the planets, and these huge humanoids were probably the most powerful beings in that period.

The extinction of dinosaurs is a historical mystery that has plagued mankind for hundreds of years, during the European Industrial Revolution, the first dinosaur fossil was discovered by humans, this behemoth surprised people, and as the fossils of this creature were excavated around the world, there were more and more mysteries about this creature, and then more and more questions.

One of the main questions people wonder is, why did this creature go extinct, and what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs? In a very short period of time, even in an instant, it is a great mystery in the history of civilization.

Some people say that the extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by meteorites, and that an asteroid with a diameter of more than tens of kilometers hit the earth at a speed of 40 kilometers per second, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs.

However, studies have found that many dinosaurs are suspected to have been frozen in an instant, and before being frozen, these dinosaurs either remained standing or were calmly grazing.

If there is a huge alien object that really collides violently with the earth, whether this meteorite hits the land or the sea, Chun Yu thinks that this must be an earth-shattering earthquake, and with the perception of animals, it is impossible to maintain peace anymore, and all the animals on the earth should be frightened.

Just like earthquakes in the human world, many animals can be keenly sensed from a long distance and become restless, not to mention such a large extraterrestrial object.

A 'big earthquake' will change the structure of the Earth's atmosphere much earlier than an asteroid hitting the Earth, and even though a meteorite may cause drastic changes in the atmospheric environment, it is more likely to cause a greenhouse effect, and if so, it does not explain the fact that the dinosaurs were frozen in ice in an instant.

Chun Yu has many questions, is there a relationship between the two that are associated with dinosaurs and mythical dragons? Are dragons really fictional creatures? So why are there legends about dragons in both the East and the West? The dragon is the first totem symbol of the Chinese nation, according to legend, the Yellow Emperor defeated and held the incarnation of the dragon, leading all ethnic groups, since then the dragon has become the first symbol of the Chinese nation, we are also called the descendants of the dragon. After the war between Emperor Yan and the Yellow Emperor, the phoenix totem was combined with the dragon totem clan, and the two totem clans multiplied, so there was a 'descendant of Yan and Huang'.

Chun Yu is thinking, part of us flows the blood of the Dragon Totem Clan, part of the blood of the Phoenix Totem Clan, with the many fusions between the clans in history, at the same time, there are also the bloodlines of other clans, all in all, the bloodline is no longer single, but they are all Chinese sons and daughters.

Totem is the belief of a clan, the ancestors believed in the totem, believing that it could bring divine power to their clan, defeat the enemy, and eliminate disasters. Thinking about it, does the totem have any other purpose? Is it just pure faith?

Sacrifice is the most important activity in the ancient civilization period, people bothered to fabricate a totem god out of thin air, or is it really something? Otherwise, why would the clans be so happy?

In ancient times, friction between the clans continued, wars were frequent, before and after the war, regardless of victory or defeat, they would go through solemn sacrificial activities, trying to invite the gods in the clan totem to manifest the spirits, according to legend, if the totem gods have sense, they will carve a brand in the hearts of the clansmen, or directly manifest the saints.

Do totemic gods really exist? Tracing back the historical clues, those ancient civilizations have their own myths and legends, totemic beliefs, why is this so? Is it just a coincidence?

In that ancient period, how inconvenient the transportation was, there was no connection between the ancient civilizations, and almost at the same time, their respective gods appeared. At a certain point in history, it seems that these gods have disappeared from history out of thin air, and only exist in the pen of historians, or in the imagination of the world, in legends, those battles between gods and gods, those magnificent scenes, which are no longer visible to future generations, as if the entire mythological era has disappeared from human history, or does that era itself not exist?

Chun Yu threw many questions in his mind, if it didn't exist, then why did people create so many gods in those ancient kingdoms? Why did those magnificent scenes appear vaguely in the minds of the ancestors, so that they could be constructed?

Everyone ended the conversation, Chun Yuyi retracted his thoughts, and at this time he felt that his head was very big, and Wang Song's brain was already numb.

Leaving the living room, Wang Song helped Chun Yu arrange the room, and in the room, the two reviewed Wang Lin's words in the evening, still extremely shocked, and did not feel sleepy for a long time. The two agreed that they would rush to the ancient ruins the next day.
