Chapter 91: The Creation Myth
Roach barely had time to reminisce about what he had just heard, and countless subtle gaps in his reasoning were filled in by Mr. Shi's story. There are many versions of the creation story, but none of them are as plausible as the story of the former goddess, and Roach never imagined that distant myths would one day have such a great guide to his course of reality. Wushan, who is half-in and half-born, does keep the secret of time, and Luo Qi thinks of Wusu, who behaves strangely, he is like a recorder, and it is Wushan who intends to explore the truth. There are also cases, like the one in the last memory that Roach reads, where a distant xenomorph mage murdered a Du clan, and the priestess who attended the banquet inadvertently recorded this fragment. Intentionally or unintentionally, the goddess lives in the fault line of the mage, and it is Wushan's highest reputation to remain silent and always neutral in everything she sees. The mages believed in Wushan's reputation accumulated over thousands of years, but in Wushan's own temple, thousands of years of secrets were piled up.
Perhaps the secret narrated by the former goddess did not break Wushan's contract, and maybe Wushan also had its own tangled contract, so they could not break the rules. Maybe...... Rouge pondered, maybe the former goddess didn't say anything. From the moment she had just begun, she was only telling the distant creation story, and she must have known more secrets, secrets contained behind every point she wanted him to remember. The memories she gave him were only related nodes before and after major secrets, not the core. Most of the memory details that may be piled up in the Wushan Temple are also like this, just like Mr. Shi himself said, they are like a net, secrets flow through the net, and in the end, the subtle truth will always be precipitated.
The secrets of this world will open the door to the sons of the ancestor mages, so I don't know how many coveted mages have plotted against them in ten thousand years, although they are naturally strong, but how can they survive the storms and storms year after year, sooner or later the extinction of the clan is their only possible ending. Luo Qi was a little sad, but after thinking about it, the mage himself would also be wiped out naturally, and in the face of time, who would be able to escape?
"Du Zhengyi's friend, I think my words must have made you think a lot, but I want to talk about the story of the Du family later. Please let me go on in the order of my own story. We just said that two of the three Ancestral Mages are left, and there is only one last Mage left. This mage doesn't actually have a story, he doesn't rush forward, he doesn't have the leisure of the moon, he was the leader before the end of the ancestor tens of thousands of years ago, let's call him the leader. The First Master has never forgotten his original intention, his will is stronger than anyone else, and he is more eager than anyone else to achieve the great cause of supremacy, return to its former glory, and recreate the glory of the race from the last days. The most important thing is that he is also a bold strategist, he is willing to lay out in units of 10,000 years, and is willing to work hard in 10,000 years. Among these three ancestors, the female ancestor let's call her the third ancestor, she is good at reproduction and is the god of fertility, but she is a ruthless person, she breeds angels and demons. And the amorous second ancestor is the god of war among the ancestors. At the time of the separation of the two Ancestors, the Lord had been busy in his tower, and his plans were based on a stable source of magic, so he focused his energy on creating enough magical energy in the beginning. ”
Roach's heart moved, the current decline of the mage world is due to the continuous decay of magical energy.
Mr. Shi continued, "The Third Ancestor led most of the mages at that time, and secretly rebelled, and legend has it that she harvested humans like a crop. It didn't take long for her matter to be discovered by the Second Ancestor who had been living among humans, and he thought of his responsibility, so he left Fengqiyuan to stop her from slaughtering humans. It was a great battle between heaven and earth between the ancestors, which almost destroyed this world, and also alarmed the chief, and he came forward to stand on the side of the god of war. The battle between the two Ancestors ended in victory for the God of War, but when he returned to Fengqiyuan, he found that the rebel mage had killed his lover. It was a tragedy, but the god of war could not face the casualties of war. ”
Luo Qi listened quietly, secretly thinking that Du Zhengyi was indeed a descendant of this ancestor, and it sounded inexplicably familiar. He remembered the statue of the ancestor hanging in Du Ting's room, and now he thought that it must be the second ancestor, the amorous god of war in their family's ancestral portrait with his chest uninhibited.
"After the end of the war, the Third Ancestor, although she was destroyed, left the world with a mess, and she consumed a lot of the world's limited magical energy when she created demons. The battle of the gods exacerbated the flow of energy, and it became sharply unstable, and the energy of the first deity was soon taken up by the work of stabilizing energy. It's a pity that it's not the worst part of the story. The worst thing is that despite the passage of time, the god of war in the tragedy cannot get out of the pain of his lover's death, and he can't help but use the forbidden anti-heaven technique, wanting his lover to come back from the dead. If it was the time when the magical energy of this world was stable, his wishful thinking might have come true, but after the Great War, the world was too fragile, and his magic not only failed, but also triggered the eventual depletion of the world's energy. Of course, depletion is described in terms of the time concept of the ancestors, and for us mages, it didn't feel anything at the time, after all, this depletion is calculated in thousands of years. ”
Roach just wanted to sigh that their creation myth was just as fucked up as a human myth.
"The work of the First Ancestor to maintain the magical energy has become uncontinuable, he does not want to punish the Second Ancestor, it is no longer helpful, he hopes that the Second Ancestor will continue to help him. However, the god of war was disheartened, and he told the Lord that he was determined to let go of his obsession and exist in the form of a true god. ”
Rocky looked at Mr. Shi's shadow in confusion.
"You may be a little confused, but that's the story, please remember that - the god of war still exists, but is a god. The gods will not pay attention to the prayers of ordinary people like you and me, and we will live and die, toil and die, and live and die with ants, and God will not care. The First Ancestor could not stop the determination of the Second Ancestor, and soon after, the God of War flew away, but he left behind two successors. One is the descendants of the Du clan who inherited his physical bloodline, and they exist in the world in the form of a god of war. The second is to follow him and choose to be the other patriarchs and mages of God. Don't be surprised, I've already said earlier that the nine Ancestors are just imaginary numbers. As for the mages who can follow him, they are all special among the mages, and their biggest characteristic is telepathy. The Second Patriarch taught them to practice collectively in order to break through their own thresholds, ascend to the house, and ascend collectively. I think you've already understood that the successors of these people are today's highland mages. ”
