Chapter 177: God Is Dead, All Dead (1)
"The first gods of the Seven Orthodox Churches are all dead!"
Ifrit's voice wasn't eerie.
The temperature around is not low.
The scorching sun overhead and the dusk temple bring a golden light.
But after hearing this, Ron only felt a layer of goosebumps instantly welling up on his skin.
All seven Orthodox gods are dead?
This...... How is this possible?
Who is the Church of the Goddess of Dawn that has been believed in for thousands of years?
The seven Orthodox churches, which are the Goddess of Dawn, are based in the Church of the Dawn of the Dawn in the Kingdom of Granville.
Believing in the goddess of nature, the Church of the Heart of Nature is headquartered in the Church of the Nation of Spong.
Belief in the Aragami and the Aragami Church headquartered in the orc territory.
Belief in the Mother God of All Things, headquartered in the Church of the Mother God of All Things of the Elven Race.
Believe in the god of craftsmen, a church of the god of craftsmen based in the territory of the dwarves.
Believing in the source of all waters, the Poseidon Church is spread across a series of islands.
Believe in the God of War, the Church of the God of War headquartered in the Giant's Territory and the Iron-Blooded Bastia Kingdom...... The reason why there are two headquarters is because the Giants and the Iron-Blooded Bastia Kingdom both consider themselves to be the orthodox inheritance of the God of War, and they don't like each other and think that each other is heretical.
On the side of the Span Sect, although it is preparing to invade Granville, it is only in the planning stage, and there is no action in the short term.
However, it seems that there has been a little friction between the giants and the iron-blooded Bastia Kingdom.
These seven righteous gods, the belief in the Dusk Continent is the most widespread, and the believers are the largest, and all the other gods are all called evil gods.
Whether it is the god of eternal freedom, the god of blood and destruction, the god of the moon, or the god of stars, all are heretics.
But now, Ifrit actually told herself that the Seven True Gods had actually died a long time ago, and had long since fallen in the war of Ragnarok.
Then, in the long period of 8,000 years, who are the hundreds of millions of believers in the Dusk Continent worshipping and who are they believing?
Ron even wondered if Ifrit was a little unclear, it was unbelievable, and if Ifrit suddenly ran up to a believer and told them that the god you believed in was dead, Ifrit would be burned at the stake immediately.
Ron even wanted to laugh.
Soon, however, the expression on Ron's face gradually stiffened.
He suddenly remembered what his good half-brother Virgil said a long, long time ago, when he first entered the Temple of the Aurora, when he first entered the Sanctuary, when he saw the statue of the Aurora, for the first time:
"It doesn't really matter if you can get the approval of the goddess, the important thing is to get the approval of the principal here, the current principal here is me, all this is just going through the motions, as long as I say that you have the approval of the goddess, then it's no problem."
"After all, the approval of the goddess...... Scold...... According to some of the Church's books, it has been at least a thousand years since any believer has been approved by the goddess, including generations of popes. ”
In Ron's chest, a strange creepy feeling grew stronger.
What Virgil said at the time was that, at least, for thousands of years, no believer had been approved by the goddess, including generations of popes.
At least......
That said, it is quite possible that, in fact, from the founding of the Church of the Dawning Goddess to the present, no one has ever been recognized by the Goddess, but these do not appear in the records.
Because, the goddess of dawn, has long since died in Ragnarok.
The so-called recognition of the goddess is actually just a lie concocted by the clergy of the Church of the Goddess of the Dawn in order to develop believers and consolidate power?
Ron didn't doubt that humans could do such a thing, but it was perfectly normal.
However, if the goddess of dawn is really dead, then why can he still be recognized by the goddess?
He even received the Heart of Ostara, a gift from the goddess.
The heart still beats in his chest.
He even had a fusion of spirit and desire with the soul body of the goddess of dawn on the soul boat.
Perhaps, Ostara, the goddess of the dawn, is in a state where she is unable to move freely or even give a response to her followers?
Or ...... The one who came into contact with him was not the Goddess of Dawn at all.
Rather, another, more mysterious or even weird existence?
Ron didn't expect that some of the legends about dragons that he had heard from Ifrit's mouth would bring him such a shock.
It's just unproven legends, but Ron wouldn't be foolish enough to take them for granted.
Seeing Ron's face constantly changing, sometimes iron, sometimes solemn, sometimes afraid, Ifrit's face froze, worried about whether she had said the wrong thing, she looked at Ron and said cautiously: "You, what's wrong?" ”
Timid voice, like a child who has done something wrong.
The two fingers were a little cramped and apprehensive in circles.
That look dispelled the gloom in Ron's chest, and he grinned, "Nothing...... Do you go on to say that the gods of the seven Orthodox faiths have all fallen? ”
Ifrit shook her head, "No, I only occasionally hear an old dragon boasting to other young dragons." ”
"My father, the dragon king of this generation, heard the voice, and quickly came out to stop the old dragon and told him not to talk nonsense."
The Dragon King tries to stop the old dragon!
According to Ron's experience, the more public opinion you want to suppress, the more likely it is to be true.
In other words, the Seven Righteous Gods are really likely to die in that war.
So, who is the goddess who used to be happy with him, trapped in the Chaos Stone, and even dug out his heart and handed it to herself?
Ron felt his scalp tingle.
The taste of furry all over the body is unusually weird.
And Ifrit, as if she felt that she finally had a place to help Ron, once the conversation box was opened, she was a little uncontrollable, desperately searching her little head, hoping to tell Ron all the legends she knew, eight thousand years ago.
"Speaking of which, our dragon clan seems to have a god of faith, the dragon god, who also fell in Ragnarok."
"In addition, the god of love, the god of blood and destruction, the god of plague and calamity, the god of the moon, and the god of stars are also dead...... Their bodies are torn apart, their blood is spilled all over the earth, and their souls are gone......"
Rumble...... Click!
Ifrit was really speechless.
Every word she said could send Ron to tremble violently.
At this moment, Ron only felt that his throat was dry, and the goosebumps that had just fallen immediately came out.
If, in the previous sentence, the gods worshiped by the Seven Orthodox Churches all died 8,000 years ago, Ron was afraid, but he could still accept it to some extent.
Cute God?
Seleos? Dead 8,000 years ago?
This...... How is this possible?
He said so many words on the Soul Crossing Boat, and even received the blessing of the other party, who was he who turned into a star in the sky with his own eyes?
The god of blood and destruction died 8,000 years ago?
So who is watching Cecilia? Who is guiding Cecilia to power?
The god of plague and calamity died 8,000 years ago?
Which being did the Lord of Blood and Destruction ask to attract the attention of the repairman?
If the body of the star god has been torn apart, who is lying in the coffin of the Soul Boat?
If the body of the moon god has collapsed and the soul of the moon god has disappeared, then who is Lucia lying on a stone, listless, and sleeping?
The first chapter is delivered.
