Chapter 19: Ancient Mythology
This black notebook is very thin, but there is a lot of content in it, like some essays by the emperor and the prince.
The handwriting has long since faded with the yellowing of the paper, and the ancient record on it is like a long epic sung by a bard:
"The Father of all gods is omnipotent, creating an endless soul of time and space.
Mortals, mortals, and beasts with longevity inhabit the Red Sea and the land beyond.
Immortal gods, demon gods, and beasts dwell in the pure land of the divine realm.
The wings of the gods are white, symbolizing glory and light.
The Demon God's wings are dark, representing punishment and justice......
This is a description of our world in the bishop of God.
Naturally, they will only choose the good ones and say that in addition to the mortal realm where we so-called "mortal spirits" live and the divine realm where gods and demons live, there are also the vast dragon realm and the seven heavens of the dead spirit realm in this world, as well as countless small dimensional spaces between these big worlds.
It's just that the dragon realm and the spirit realm are not completely created by the lord of all gods, and are not recognized by the god bishop.
It is difficult to vividly describe the relationship between these worlds, they are not in the same space, but they are all connected to each other, and some regions are even overlapping in some sense.
The only thing that is the same is that time is synchronized in all worlds.
If I need a simple description, it can only be said that all "boundaries" are in fact different spaces that obey the same law of time.
Ancient theologians believed that the mortal world was below and the divine realm was above the pure land, because the divine realm was higher than the mortal realm, where the elements were pure and life had eternal life.
But this is simply nonsense, where is the relationship between different planes in different spaces so simple to explain, and it is not to build a house, because the air is fresher because of the high life.
If, according to this idiot's theory, after the First Divine War, the Seven Heavens of the Spirit Realm lie between the mortal realm and the divine realm, then wouldn't we even be inferior to ghosts?
Although the Lord of the Gods is not very human, he is not so ruthless......"
Seeing this sentence, Di Xue couldn't cry or laugh, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that in the minds of ordinary people, they really think that the god realm is above the mortal world, and the world looks up to the sky and prays for the protection of the lord of all gods, but who has carefully thought about the blue sky in the mortal world, is there really a god and demon god overlooking the vast red dust?
And what surprised Di Xue the most was that, according to Emperor Chen's statement, the spirit world actually lies between the mortal realm and the divine realm? This is a statement he had never heard of, Di Xue continued to read:
"The birth of the spirit world originated from the incomparably ancient First God War.
The true cause of the first divine war between gods and demons has long been difficult to trace, and the only thing that has been shared in the stories that have been handed down to this day is that in that ancient era, the two major god clans believed that each other had betrayed the Lord of the Gods.
All in all, I don't know if those gods and demons with bird wings have lived too long, too long, too tired, so they fought, and a fight is hundreds of years, and the war has even affected the mortal world in which we live.
In one of the greatest and most tragic battles, the two tribes used the forbidden power to detonate several sacred stones, which were supposed to be sacred relics from the Lord of the Gods to bless the two tribes.
It is a very terrifying thing for a genius to become a madman, the holy stones are unique holy relics, they contain the origin power of the world created by the master of all gods, that great mad genius actually found a way to detonate this power, and finally led the gods and demons to suffer countless casualties, and most of the god realm was destroyed.
The incomparably hard Divine Realm Continent, which was originally a whole, was even blown in half by the terrifying destructive power.
Even the space of the war zone was blown up, and it was the center of the divine realm, the holiest and purest place in the divine realm, and the place connected to the mortal realm.
The torrent of destruction rushed into the mortal world, and the first divine war not only caused countless casualties to the gods and demons, but also caused the lives of the mortal world to be miserable.
By this time, the old fellow of the Lord of All Gods finally couldn't sit still.
The life that accompanies the birth of the Twelve Holy Spirits is always incomparably powerful, and perhaps this is the reason why the Twelve Holy Spirits are the strongest and most holy.
The hymns of the Protoss describe the twelve Holy Spirits as follows:
Glory is born in the midst of destruction and shattering
The twelve figures that tore through the clouds represented hope
The five are silent and strict, and the five are radiant
There are also two figures who are hazy and noble as kings
Fill the void of space with the Holy Spirit
Hold back the flowing fire! the Holy Spirit of time
Dispel the gloom!
The Holy Spirit of life, who heals the earth
......
Their power is supreme and holy, and their words and deeds are supreme
By the command of the Lord to end this thousand years of sorrow......
Well, this prayer poem is naturally very well written.
What kind of beings are the twelve holy spirits, no one can explain clearly, and no one dares to explore.
It is rumored that they were formed by the split consciousness of the Lord of the Gods, and that they were the embodiment of the will of the Lord of the Gods, who were the strongest and most holy in the realm they represented, unrivaled and invincible.
Ha, all in all, after the arrival of the twelve big bosses of the twelve holy spirits, they quickly pacified the war on the pure land of the divine realm and ended the first divine war.
However, even the two Time Spirits and Space Spirits who are well versed in the supreme meaning of time and space cannot restore the Divine Realm Pure Land that has been blown in half by the power of the Holy Stone, and doing so is likely to cause the entire Divine Realm to collapse, and all they can do is maintain the status quo.
Since then, the vast divine realm that was originally a whole has been divided into two continents, north and south, that is, what we now call the Holy Heaven Realm and the Ten Thousand Demon Realm, the Heavenly God Clan lives in the Holy Heaven Realm, and the Demon God Clan lives in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm, and the two worlds are separated by a huge sea of stars, and the pattern is very similar to the current mortal realm.
The original spatial passage leading to the mortal world in the divine realm was also completely shattered, and the pure land, the center of the divine realm, which was shattered in the first divine battle, was divided into seven pieces and fell into the chaotic space-time turbulence, gradually evolving into the prototype of the current spiritual realm. ”
Reading this, Di Xue was already extremely shocked, in today's mortal world, for the undead spirit world where the undead and evil ghosts live, the world thinks that it is a bad land abandoned by the Lord of the Gods. Who would have imagined that the night-shattering spirit realm was actually composed of the once supreme and sacred Divine Realm Continent? The record in this small notebook really subverted Di Xue's perception of this world.
How did the Emperor know about these secrets? Di Xue had read some of the Divine Bishop's canons, and there was no record of the First Divine War described in this black notebook at all. Although the things of the Divine Bishop were not credible, Di Xue couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of this notebook, but he continued to read backwards......
"After the end of the first god war, the twelve holy spirits were divided into two factions to protect the heavenly god clan and the demon god clan respectively, and the gods and demons were both too painful by the other party during the first god war, and they each went home and sold their eyes to the twelve holy spirits, and it stopped for a long time.
For a time, the world was peaceful, the divine realm was in ruins, and the gods and demons were creating a beautiful and harmonious society.
The Twelve Holy Spirits began to deal with the problem of the spiritual realm, but they did not find any good way, the seven broken continents were divided into seven and floated between the time and space of the divine realm and the mortal realm, if the seven continents were forcibly returned to the divine realm, the stability of the two worlds would inevitably be endangered.
However, if the problem of the spiritual realm is not solved, the communication between the gods and mortal realms will become very dangerous, and the heavenly gods and demon gods will not be able to descend to the mortal realm, and the powerful beings of the mortal realm will not be able to enter the divine realm.
Not only because the space of the spirit world was extremely unstable at that time, and it was full of turbulence of elements that destroyed it, but also because in the final battle of the First God War, countless dead gods and demons and mortal souls fell into the spirit world with the broken seven god continents, and with the evolution of time, these souls with endless resentment turned into powerful undead, wandering back to the continent where seven pieces of blood flowed like rivers of corpses and bones and refused to dissipate, and even the rotting corpse bones mutated into ghouls and ghouls who only knew how to kill.
This is also the origin of the name "Dead Spirits", because it is a world where only the dead can live.
As the aura of the undead in the spirit world became stronger and stronger, the souls that would dissipate by themselves after the death of the mortal race were also attracted to the spirit world, and became undead spirits with no memory of life and chaotic consciousness in the spirit world.
The power of the spirit world will become stronger and stronger with the passage of time, and one day, it will inevitably endanger the safety of the mortal world and even the divine world.
The Twelve Holy Spirits can seal the spatial passage between the spiritual realm and the divine and mortal worlds, which is the best way to solve the problems of the spiritual world, but this will also cut off the connection between the two divine and mortal worlds, which is the result that the Holy Spirits do not want to see.
Hmph, after all, they're still ......
After making a decision, the Twelve Holy Spirits decided to first stabilize the space of the Spirit Realm, and then sent two Holy Spirits to the Spirit Realm to purify the countless dead souls and demons in the Spirit Realm.
The two spirits of time and space laid down the laws of time and space, and the other ten spirits cast their own divine rules to calm most of the dangerous broken space and elemental turbulence in the spirit world.
The Spirit of Life and the Spirit of Death enter the spiritual realm, the Holy Spirit of Death is responsible for suppressing the spiritual realm, and the Holy Spirit of Life is responsible for purifying the souls of hundreds of millions of the dead.
However, even with the infinite divine power of the Holy Spirit, this is a long and vast project, but one day, the Seven Heavens of the Spirit Realm will return to its original appearance as the Pure Land of the Divine Realm.
Unfortunately, this process had only just begun for some time before it was aborted.
Because of the rise of the dragons.
Dragons are an incomparably powerful race in the eyes of mortal life, they can soar freely through the sky, possess dragon scales that are harder than steel, and have the ability to cultivate with great talent.
But in ancient times, they were nothing more than slaves of the gods and demons.
In ancient times, most of the dragons lived in the divine realm, they were not as powerful as gods and demons, and they were not the most powerful race among the divine beasts, they were just domesticated mounts by gods and demons.
And some low-level dragons...... Or even reduced to food.
The status of the poor and sad dragon clan in the divine realm is equivalent to our mortal war horses.
It was not until the birth of the dragon god that this qiē was changed.
The dragon god, its birth can be called a miracle, in the world of the Lord of all gods, there should not be such a existence.
Legend has it that the dragon god has more power than the twelve holy spirits, and it led the dragon clan to free themselves from the slavery of the gods and demons, and launched a war against the gods and demons.
Both the Celestial Clan and the Demon God Clan were still recuperating from the wounds left by the First God War, and the sudden rebellion of the Dragon Clan caught both of the two Divine Clans by surprise.
Under the command of the dragon god, the dragon clans who were familiar with the Pure Land of the God Realm quickly captured some areas, and unexpectedly exploded the chrysanthemums of the gods and demons.
Unfortunately, perhaps because the dragons were relatively gentle at first, the dragons' rebellion did not attract the attention of the twelve spirits at first, and they were all busy leading the gods and demons to repair their homes and solve the problems of the spirit world.
They completely underestimated the power of the rebellious dragons, and only sent the Legion of Liberals and Patronus to suppress the dragons' betrayal.
Until ......"
The handwriting on the handwriting gradually faded and then disappeared at this point, Di Xue flipped back, and found that the pages were blank in a row, he was very strange, it didn't look like he hadn't written half of it.
The abrupt cut off account seemed a little strange, but Di Xue didn't care, and after a few blank pages, the handwriting reappeared, which quickly attracted his attention.
"No one knows how powerful the dragon god is, because no one has ever seen it strike, and there seems to be no record of it in history, but it is certain that it at least has the power of the Holy Spirit.
The dragon god disappeared after the creation of the Dragon Realm, and it is speculated that the creation of the Dragon Realm drained all its powers, leaving it into a long slumber. There is also a legend that it transformed its body into the dragon realm, and its soul sank into the center of the dragon realm, becoming one with the entire dragon realm.
No matter what, the mortal realm, the divine realm, the spirit realm and the dragon realm have completely lost the news of the dragon god, and only four dragon emperors are left in the dragon realm to guard the four directions, each of the four dragon emperors is capable of opposing a holy spirit, under the protection and leadership of the four dragon emperors, the power of the dragon realm is getting stronger and stronger.
The Celestial God Clan and the Demon God Clan began to be shocked that the power of the Dragon Clan was so strong after the creation of the Dragon Realm, and the Gods and Demons began to join forces to attack the Dragon Realm, but because the attitude of the Twelve Holy Spirits towards the Dragon Clan was not uniform, the power of the Four Dragon Emperors could not be underestimated, and the legions of the Gods and Demons were never able to break through the gate of the Dragon Realm.
The Second God War has entered a period of prolongation in this way, and it seems that there will never be an end.
Such a situation was undesirable for the Twelve Holy Spirits, and the Holy Spirits of the Divine Realm recalled the Holy Spirit of Death and the Holy Spirit of Life in the Spiritual Realm and held a meeting to discuss ways to deal with the Dragons.
Just as there are always hawks, doves and neutrals in the court of mankind, the same is true of the strongest and most holy spirits, the five holy spirits who protect the celestial gods believe that they should try to reconcile with the dragons, while the five spirits who protect the demon gods advocate sparing no effort to eliminate the dragons, and the two spirits of time and space always maintain a neutral attitude.
The Holy Spirit argued endlessly, each with his own opinions.
In the end, it was not which side persuaded which side to agree, but the sudden bad news from the front.
Taking advantage of the meeting of the Holy Spirits, the Third Dragon Emperor led a million dragons through the space passage to attack the Pure Land of the Divine Realm, and it was the position of the Celestial Clan that faced the Dragon Legion, and the four Celestial Legions were all wiped out, and the Marshal of the Celestial Clan, the First Guardian Spirit, was killed.
Seeing that his younger brother had been exposed by the Dragon Clan, the tragic loss of the Celestial God Clan finally made the Light Holy Spirit change his mind, and the other four Celestial Spirit Clans also followed his opinion.
The opinions of the twelve Holy Spirits are finally unanimous, that is, to launch an all-out attack on the dragons.
After defeating the front-line legion of the Celestial God Clan, the dragon clan retreated to the dragon realm, stuck to the dragon realm and did not come out, played a good lewd stream, quietly entered the village, did not shoot, found the right position, and exploded ...... When you're done, run.
The Twelve Holy Spirits assemble an army of gods and demons and prepare for a decisive battle against the dragons.
Although the Spirit of Destiny, who has insight into fate, and the Spirit of Wisdom, who has supreme wisdom, are a little hesitant to go deep into the Dragon Realm, the Dragon Clan has never left the Dragon Realm, and they have no other way than to attack the Dragon Realm.
In fact, this Nima is clearly a trap...... However, the arrogant Twelve Holy Spirits thought that it was impossible for the Four Dragon Emperors to defeat them, so they led a large army to kill them.
The two Holy Spirits of Time and Space opened up the spatial passage, and the other ten Holy Spirits led countless gods and demons to attack the Dragon Realm.
The fears of fate and wisdom came true, and the Four Dragon Emperors laid traps in the Dragon Realm, mobilizing the power of the Dragon Realm to fight against the twelve Holy Spirits and the army of gods and demons.
The Twelve Holy Spirits had an advantage in numbers, and it was impossible for them to be killed, and even if the Four Dragon Emperors relied on the power of the Dragon Realm Earth, they could only fight to an equal footing.
The decisive battle of the Dragon Realm in the Second Divine War lasted for seven days and nights, and the three clans of the gods, demons and dragons were all beaten, and the casualties even exceeded the final battle of the First Divine War.
In the end, the Spirit of Death and the Spirit of Life fought to the death of the Third Dragon Emperor at the cost of their respective heavy losses, and the Holy Spirit and the Dragon Emperors stopped fighting.
The Twelve Holy Spirits and the Three Dragon Emperors found that because of the battle between them, the three major races had suffered such heavy casualties under their supreme destructive power.
When the dawn of the eighth day came, the gods and demons allied with the dragons.
The Twelve Holy Spirits and the Three Dragon Emperors made a pact with each other that because the power of the Holy Spirit and the Dragon Emperor was too powerful and terrifying, once they participated in the war of the three races, the casualties caused would be too large, so the Holy Spirit and the Dragon Emperor were not allowed to participate in any war of any race.
Since then, the Twelve Holy Spirits have turned into stone statues in various parts of the Divine Realm, and they no longer care about the affairs of the Celestial God Clan and the Demon God Clan, and the three Dragon Emperors and the newly-born Third Dragon Emperor have also hidden in the depths of the Dragon Realm.
At this point, it is the end of the age of mythology, and the end of one era is the beginning of the next.
Entering the ancient era, the Celestial Race, the Demon God Race and the Dragon Race maintained the armistice agreement of the Mythical Age, and the three most powerful races of the four worlds confronted each other and feared each other, and often had some small friction and small wars between each other, but it was not a matter of fact for the two vast divine wars in the Mythological Age, and a skillful balance was always maintained between the three strongest races.
During this period, the legendary heroes and great warriors we know were born among the human race, and the human race began to shine its due glory in the mortal world of hundreds of races.
Especially when the twelve volumes of brilliant spells were discovered to be learnable and used by the human race, it added a dazzling color to this brilliance.
Those who are able to use the magic spells described in the Brilliant Spell are known as the "Terran Guardians" by the other races.
For tens of thousands of years since ancient times, legends of Terran Guardians have been circulating in this land, legend has it that they slew the undead king, slaughtered the dragon, fought against the power of evil, and were sent by the Twelve Holy Spirits to the guardians of the Terrans.
One of them is the closest to the present world, and his name is no longer known to everyone in the four worlds.
......
Many people speculate that the founding emperor of the Manhua Empire, Emperor Xiaotian, is a guardian of the world, because some of the spells he used were very similar to several glorious spells in the historical records.
But what he has done in his life is really not on par with the legendary guardian of the human race, he is the one who destroyed the Church of God and drove the God Patriarch to the distant land, this is not like a guardian of the Holy Spirit left in the world......
And, when he led the army to the extreme desert, he actually got the help of the long-disappeared dragon clan there, and formed the world's first dragon knight legion, the human guardian has always been with the dragon clan, if he is the human guardian, then why would the dragons help him?
He built the Tower of Eternity, a building that defied the sky, and since the day it was built, it has been the greatest contempt for the authority of the Lord of the Gods, and on the day of the topping out of the Tower of Eternity, a night of thunderstorms and violent lightning tore through the heavens, and all beings were terrified.
That night, many people thought that the Eternal Tower that the Howling Emperor insisted on building finally angered the gods, so the gods sent down ten thousand thunderbolts to split the Eternal Tower into ashes.
But after the night, the Tower of Eternity was still unharmed, high above the clouds, and the Screaming Emperor was no different from usual, but he became much more silent.
Everyone asked him what had happened, but the Howling Sky Emperor never answered, and people speculated that the thunderstorm overnight was a vision of heaven and earth caused by the vast magic god array contained in the Tower of Eternity when the formation was first formed.
I have searched for the secrets of my ancestor Emperor Xiaotian all my life, and finally I have come to an astonishing conclusion, that is, on the day of the topping of the Tower of Eternity, there is a supreme and holy Holy Spirit who came to the world to destroy the Tower of Eternity.
I know this conclusion is shocking, but I can almost be sure that it is true because ......"
Unfortunately, after "because", there is no record of this paragraph, and a few more pages are missing from the black note.
Di Xue sighed, feeling very sorry, and at the same time very shocked, his ancestor Di Xiaotian had fought with the Holy Spirit and survived?! This was really unbelievable to him, mortals fought against the strongest and most holy Holy Spirit, this is even more mythical than a myth!
You must know that there may be incomparably powerful cultivators in the human world who can fight against the Celestial God Clan of the Holy Heaven Realm, or the Demon God Clan of the Ten Thousand Demon Realm, but the Twelve Holy Spirits, which are the most powerful guardian spirits of the two Divine and Demon Clans, will look up to and worship the Being, how can there be mortals who can compare with them?
The Twelve Holy Spirits can be said to be the most powerful twelve beings in the world created by the Lord of the Gods, they each represent the highest achievements in their respective fields, and no one can match, even if the four Supreme Dragon Emperors have equal combat power with them, but in the realm they each represent, they are not as powerful as them.
And at this time, according to the black notebook in Di Xue's hand, on the day of the capping of the Eternal Tower, there was a Holy Spirit attacking, and the Howling Emperor fought with him and survived, if this was spread, absolutely no one would believe it!
Di Xue actually didn't believe it very much, even in the Manhua Empire, Di Xiaotian had already been deified by people, and in the eyes of the people of the empire, he was omnipotent, which was really too dreamy, but he saw that the prince of Emperor Chen said conclusively in his notes, it seemed that he had indeed understood the mystery of that night, but he didn't know why this note was missing a lot, and every time he was about to solve the puzzle, he was cut off, which was extremely regrettable.
