Leaving the maelstrom of the East China Sea, Ryan had a painting in his hand.

The painting was a semi-finished product, but he no longer needed to paint the rest. The changes of time and era will add color to it.

This time, Ryan came to see Prometheus, whether it was a painting or a promise, he actually had no special purpose. He was just interested in it because of his past memories and wanted to do it, so he did it.

As a god, he can do whatever he wants. The origin of many myths in later generations is just the idea of ​​a certain god or man, which then caused a series of changes.

And just like Ryan promised, if someone really worships him on the day when the bronze humans are destroyed, that person can survive; if all humans worship him, then the disaster of the God King will become a laughing stock.

Although this is impossible due to human nature, Ryan did decide this.

He avoids using his power in this world, it's not that he can't, it's just that it's not necessary. As he once said, every move in this world will evolve into a confrontation between the laws of this world and the spiritual world, and it will become stronger every time. But Ryan didn't pay attention to the first two collisions.

In his estimation, there were only a few opportunities for him to take action throughout the third era.

"It's time to go back."

At a glance, Ryan saw that in the spiritual world, all the archangels were performing their duties, and the God of Sleep seemed to be working conscientiously to contribute to the already perfect dream world. This trip to the Nine Realms has yielded a lot, and it's time for him to deal with these things.

However, there will be nothing urgent in the future, so Ryan just follows the path he left step by step, starting from the first level of the spiritual world.

······

The fire was extinguished and rekindled overnight, the Creator suddenly disappeared, lost all kinds of miraculous God-given things, and began to attack human beings. In just a few days, all these changes caused an uproar among the bronze human tribe.

Especially in the great temple dedicated to the God King, although the face of the charred figure kneeling on the ground could no longer be clearly seen, after the retelling of the person on duty that night, people were able to figure out his identity.

High Priest Orson, one of the Creator's favorite students, but his current tragic situation combined with all these changes, people can't help but easily think that maybe it was he who offended the gods and made Olympus Such a punishment is imposed.

For a time, the old human order even showed signs of collapse, just because time was still relatively short after all, and people were still working and living habitually under inertia.

This is also thanks to the arrival of the Holy Fire. Otherwise, under the further punishment of those extraordinary beasts and gods, this primitive human city would only fall apart in an instant.

"High Priest, can we still hide it?"

In the former residence of the Creator, the priests of Aurora City gathered together. Faced with the current changes, they were also a little panicked.

Others don't know, but the priests can probably guess the whole story. The reason for the anger of the gods was not just because of one Orson, but because of the crimes they all committed together.

But for some unknown reason, which the gods did not state clearly, they took away the Creator but turned a blind eye to the priests.

"Of course, you don't need to get into trouble!"

Unlike the panic of other priests, Momen seemed very confident. Many people who are familiar with him even feel that he is more rosy and energetic than before.

"The Creator brought fire for us, and the gods gave up further punishment on mankind. This matter naturally ended here."

"I don't know if what you said is true, and if God has forgiven us, but if so, do we still need to sacrifice to the gods?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the audience. This was actually a very difficult thing.

After all, the blessings of the gods have been withdrawn. Even if the punishment is eliminated because of the Creator, it does not mean that they will still get a response if they continue to sacrifice.

And if there is no response, and humans were used to reaping rewards after offering sacrifices to gods in the past, and now they are suddenly told that you offer sacrifices to gods, but there will be no benefits, then are they really willing?

But it was difficult for the priests to make a decision to stop the sacrifices directly. After all, it is one thing whether this will lead to the anger of the gods again, and on the other hand, if the sacrifice is no longer needed, then the meaning of the priest's existence will be lost.

Even if it's for themselves, they don't really want to end the sacrifice like this.

"I have thought about this matter, so there is no need for you to rush."

His movements were neither hasty nor slow, and Mo Meng seemed confident.

"It is indeed easy to cause dissatisfaction by simply asking people to offer sacrifices unconditionally, so we have to change the way of saying it."

“We want to tell others that God has not only withdrawn the gifts, but the chastisement they sent down remains.”

At this moment, although everyone knew that Momeng was telling lies, he now seemed to be explaining the truth.

"Wind, rain, wild beasts, frost, these are all part of the punishment. Only by piously offering sacrifices to the gods can disaster be avoided."

"But we all know that there is actually no -"

"Who said it's useless?"

Interrupting with a cold voice, Momen looked at everyone present.

"If someone is injured or dies because of this, it means he is not pious enough and has nothing to do with us or God. And most importantly, the holy fire brought back by the Creator is still here."

"The new holy fire is different from the original one. It is not a flame that focuses on [protection], so it will only frighten those beasts with powerful powers and keen perception, but this is enough."

"We are not only priests who communicate with the gods, but also the guardians responsible for protecting the holy fire under the command of the Creator before he leaves. No one except us knows that the holy fire will not go out or move. Humanity can be at peace because of our existence. Isn’t this enough?”

The place fell silent, the priests thought silently, and then nodded. Looking at this scene, Mo Meng smiled with satisfaction.

He actually avoided the most critical point, which is that as long as a real god comes, their lies can be exposed at any time, just like their little trick on the sacrifice before. But not long ago, after drinking the bottle of blood that had been stored for many years, Momen saw the mysterious figure again.

From him, Momen learned a lot, such as the Creator will not come back, the gods will not let humans go, and the conditions that the mysterious man promised to him.

If it had been decades ago, he would have flatly refused; if Orson had died and Prometheus left, he would have hesitated, but now, with no other choice, Momon decisively agreed.

Regardless of whether what the mysterious man said was true or not, there was only one thing that Momen believed in: the God King would not let humans go so easily.

If he had killed all the priests together to vent his anger, it would really be possible to stop here. But these accomplices are alive and well, how can the God King calm down his anger?

The only possibility is that he is waiting for an opportunity to get it done once and for all.

He is a 'big shot' among humans, and Momen understands this idea very well. Making everything seem "justified" without jeopardizing their core interests is what they like to do most.

So now, since the gods are unreliable, Momen simply gave up on them. According to the mysterious man's instructions, he will try his best to ensure that the human tribe is stable and peaceful until the day when the gods intend to destroy them. After all, if too many humans die early, it will also affect the mysterious man's 'profit'.

His income is less, and the 'dividends' given to their accomplices will naturally not be much.

"Since there are no objections, I will continue."

Thoughts were swirling, but Mo Meng did not show it. He began to arrange specific tasks.

"In a moment, I will select a few people to go to several small towns outside of Aurora to lead the holy fire there. This must be done as soon as possible. I don't want you to find that there is only ruins left when you get there."

"Also, we need to build a city wall, a real city wall made of stone. After all, the holy fire can drive away those terrible beasts, but it will not affect ordinary beasts with less sensitive senses."

"We also need to build weapons and build teams specifically to deal with those threats, whether they come from the outside or wherever they are."

"."

Mr. Ling Ling, about half a day had passed. When the last thing was arranged, Mo Meng stood up. He looks more decisive and aggressive now than in the past.

"Everyone,"

Looking around, especially the priests whose auras were somewhat similar to his, Momen said decisively:

"Whether you like it or not, everything is a foregone conclusion. The gods have given up on us, and the Creator will never come back. Only humans are left here."

"So from now on-"

"The fate of bronze humans is in our hands."

His eyes were bright, and Mo Meng felt that he had never felt so good.

······

From this day on, great changes took place within the bronze humans.

The holy fire was led to various towns, and the alien beasts that had been close to the human gathering areas retreated because of the dissipation of the divine aura. The messengers holding the holy fire used this to publicize the changes in Aurora, and then established a new ruling system with the original priests as the leaders and the craftsmen who were close to them and had taught their skills as the core.

From then on, in a human society that has lost its Creator, class no longer exists only in spirit, but also in matter.

Someone expressed dissatisfaction, but soon he died in the mouth of a wild beast while out for activities. Without the weapons made by skilled craftsmen, humans would be far from able to defeat the beasts with their bare hands, so soon everything returned to calm.

But the calm is only on the surface. After all, with the loss of God's gift, it may not be obvious that the accumulation in the past is now there, but soon, due to the reduction in grain production and the death and injury of cattle and sheep during grazing, the overall harvest of mankind will be A sharp decline, and the era when no one was worried about survival supplies will be completely a thing of the past.

By then, even food will become one of the problems that need to be solved.

But what is very interesting is that as the saying "Gods punish humans" spread rapidly, some people who began to pay attention to human beings because of deceiving the gods suddenly discovered that although some people's belief in gods has weakened because of this, Many have become more religious because of it.

This made them suddenly realize that their previous understanding of faith was still too shallow. Humans are different from gods. The threats to gods often come from another god. For humans, the world itself is dangerous to them. In this case, they couldn't help but have other ideas.

Maybe human beings don't need to live a good life. It's just fine as it is now.

God's gifts to mortals should be random, not fixed. It is human beings who pray for their favor with hope, rather than an exchange with a clear price tag.

However, God's attention to human beings is only occasional, because the gods have already understood the thoughts of the God King. They saw the will of Zeus in Pandora, which he asked the gods to create together.

In any case, even for the majesty of the gods, the God King will not allow the blasphemous bronze humans to multiply and become the masters of the earth.

Therefore, they did not notice that on the edge of Aurora, there was a 'demigod' in their understanding who began to center there and teach primitive physical training skills to some people around him.

In other words, they are learning together. Because some people themselves have little knowledge of how to obtain this power, they are also worried about how to let others learn this ability.

After all, he was at the pinnacle of the mortal world when he was born, and his body alone was only one step away from being extraordinary. So much so that when he first mastered such powers, he didn't even think they were useful.

So everything was conducted in a trial. For a while, except for himself, there was no second human being who could produce power in the body. However, their physiques had improved significantly.

At the same time, while studying this power, he was also trying to understand the history of the past few hundred years and the deeds among the gods through various channels. He carved a stone slab in his home and often meditated silently in front of it, but he never went to the temple of any god to offer sacrifices.

This attracted the attention of some people, but at this time of change, many human beings complained about the disappearance of the gods, and even hated the gods, but they did not dare to say it out loud, so in the end no one made any changes to it. Much attention.

In this case, Ryan, who finally returned to the sacred mountain of Sinaia, stood at the core of the seventh-level spiritual world and took out the Odin treasure house that he had put away.

"It does not have the function of self-destruction. It will only shake time and space and make the things inside fall. That's right."

Although it has been said once before and the same result was obtained through personal observation, Ryan confirmed it again.

There were many gains from this trip, and he needed to arrange them one by one, but the first thing he had to do was to count them all, and Odin's treasure house was one of the 'blind boxes' that he didn't know yet.

So the dragon egg was placed aside, and Ryan first took out the wooden sphere engraved with runes. Its size is not large, but for a creation of a god king, its apparent size obviously has no reference value.

"Yes, in fact, I also participated in the refining of this treasure house."

Following Ryan into the spirit world, Mimir became more and more careful.

He was glad that he didn't come to a place similar to the Kingdom of the Dead, but the spiritual world didn't seem to be much better.

"For some truly precious things, self-destruction runes cannot really destroy them. Instead, it is better to use the power of time and space to send them to a pre-set place before the treasure house is opened."

"Of course, now that the Nine Realms have been destroyed, those set coordinates are also invalid. If it is destroyed now, the things inside will just randomly float in the void."

The real void refers to the nothingness outside the world, but Ryan knows that this is not what Mimir is talking about. The void in his words is just a concept on the spatial level.

"So, do you want to open it now? Just let me dig into it for a while and I can find it."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Shaking his head slightly, whether Mimir really didn't know how to open the treasure house or wanted to show his worth, Ryan didn't intend to spend this time.

This is the spirit world. Even if Odin himself is here, it is impossible to penetrate the time and space barrier of the spirit world. The treasure house he left behind will not have a second result even if its power increases a hundred times.

Stretching out his hand, Ryan gently shook the wooden ball. The next moment, the space and time around the ball curved, and an invisible force acted on it.

On the texture of the wood, runes lit up one after another, and then went out. Runes are runes that explain the rules of the Nine Realms, not the rules of Chaos.

Although the rules of the two worlds are similar in some aspects, they are more different. Therefore, this treasure trove of the God King, which could have been called one of the top creations of Asgard's alchemy, had its defense broken almost instantly, and then touched the warning mark inside.

Buzz——

With a buzzing sound, visible to the naked eye, the wooden structure of the ball disintegrated in an instant, and a familiar breath came out, which was the power of the World Tree.

This sacred tree not only possesses a very strong life force when it is alive, but as a support for the nine realms of time and space, it also has a very high degree of time and space. At this moment, this power was activated and spread loudly around.

Then nothing happened until the entire wooden structure of the treasure house collapsed, without causing any damage to the surrounding space.

"this"

Somewhat speechless, Mimir was a little shocked. In Scandinavian mythology, unlike Chaos, there is no god who truly controls time and space. There are only some beings who are more or less involved. For example, Odin is regarded as the guardian of time and space. , the three goddesses of destiny sometimes think they have the power of time.

Therefore, seeing Ryan's careless manipulation of space with his own eyes still shocked him.

In the brief battle with the [Flemish Mother Tree], Mimir thought he had understood the powerful power of this outside god, but now it turns out that his power is not limited to [Life] and [Death].

"Okay, tell me what these are. Having been Odin's 'staff' for so many years, you should know something about them."

As the treasure house was shattered, the space inside also expanded and returned to its normal size. Looking at the things in front of him, Ryan did not reach out in a hurry, but asked Mimir first.

Whether it's something from another world, it's better to let the 'locals' talk about it first.

"certainly."

The huge head suppressed the shock and looked at several items floating in the void. Soon, he seemed to have discovered something.

"Sir Ryan, have you seen that book?"

Looking for fame, Ryan noticed the ordinary-looking book.

"Of course, what does it record?"

There have been some speculations. After all, the value of books is to carry knowledge, and what other knowledge can be valued by Odin, but Ryan still waits for Mimir to confirm his idea.

"That is the [Original Book], the first book made from the leaves and sap of the World Tree Yggdrasil. In our world, there are many legends about it, but in fact, I am the only one who really Know what it is.”

In some recollections, as the guardian of the spring of wisdom, Mimir sometimes wonders what he has gained from the spring water. This cannot clear the fog and see the real 'wisdom', but there is still nothing.

"Sir Ryan, it is the greatest result of Odin's sacrifice at the Fountain of Wisdom. It is also the source of more than 70% of the magic and alchemy of the nine kingdoms, the original [Rune Rune]."

"Odin took it out of his own memory and used the only world leaves in the world that can permanently carry its existence as its carrier. The final product created is the [Original Code] in front of you."
