The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Ever since she last heard Mr. "Sun" and Louise talk about the mythical history of the "Land Abandoned by Gods", Audrey has never forgotten it.

Later, led by Susie, the "Imaginary Dog", she consulted the church's holy scriptures and historical books and found many unexplained conflicts.

"As for the seven orthodox gods of our continent, there is no record of 'The Land Abandoned by Gods', but the 'Lord of Storms' and the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' are known as the oldest gods and have a very long history of existence.

"

Audrey first stated a fact that was recognized by everyone... Of course, this "everyone" did not include Forsi... She paused, looked to her side, and continued:

"According to Miss Power, the 'Land Abandoned by the Gods' appeared at the end of the Third Age, so why are there no records of these gods? Could it be that they were lost due to two thousand years of suffering?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Alger, but also Louise and Klein were surprised.

This question is not complicated, and in fact it does not require careful thinking. However, for Audrey, who has lived within the scope of orthodox belief in gods since she was a child, raising this question means that she begins to question the conventional beliefs that she believes in.

God... Although she tried to avoid the "goddess of the night" in her words.

"The Hanged Man" was shocked. To be honest, his belief was not pious, but at most he had suspected that the church's records would be biased. However, the question raised by Miss Justice pointed directly at the birth of the gods.

...And Alger himself knows that gods are only powerful Extraordinaries of Sequence 0. Ordinary people can also be promoted to true gods step by step. Is this the same for today's seven orthodox gods?

He didn't dare to think anymore and silently looked at Mr. "Sun" beside him.

Derrick thought for a while, recalled the books he had read, raised his head and replied:

"There is indeed no record of the seven orthodox gods you mentioned in Silver City, but 'knowledge and wisdom', 'sun'...these powers are all reflected in the 'omniscient and omnipotent Lord', and the power of the storm belongs to the Elf King.

Sunya Solem was eventually taken back by the Creator.”

"But the 'all-knowing and all-powerful creator' whom Silver City believed in has fallen." Alger said thoughtfully, staring at Miss Power across from him.

Louise nodded slightly and said, "I said that."

"So, can I understand it this way..." Audrey took over and said: "The powers of the 'Lord of Storms', the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' and many other gods all come from the faith that Silver City believes in.

He is an 'all-knowing and all-powerful creator', and it was precisely because of his fall that the seven orthodox gods in the Northern Continent were born."

Before he finished speaking, an unbreakable silence fell above the gray mist, and everyone remained silent.

If this guess comes true, then the holy scriptures of the major churches will be overturned, the birth of the gods and orthodoxy will be seriously questioned, and the person who proposed this guess will definitely be sent to the Inquisition or even the gallows...

Alger actually developed a palpitating feeling towards Miss Justice.

The question that "Sun" Derrick is thinking about is, if the first time the Creator's authority was divided because of his deep sleep, and the Lord would bring light to the world after waking up from his deep sleep, then this second time, after the Creator's "death",

Can He wake up again? Can Silver City walk out of darkness again and usher in light...

As a big foodie from the Empire, Klein has never believed in the innate support of gods, let alone the statement in the creation myth that "gods are differentiated from the spirit of the Creator", so he has no doubts about Miss Justice.

So shocked, I just started to wonder about the answer to this question... If this is really the case, then the relationship between the seven gods may not be as simple as it seems. It is probably the result of mutual compromise after the war.

As for Forsi, she has begun to doubt life... "The Land Abandoned by Gods", "The Omniscient and Almighty Creator", "Seven Gods"... What are these people talking about? This is what I, a Sequence Nine, should listen to.

Something?

After a long time, Louise coughed lightly, breaking the frozen atmosphere, and concluded:

"Gods are never achieved overnight. The 'Omniscient and Almighty Creator' that Silver City believed in fell at the end of the Third Age. In addition to the "God of Steam and Machinery", the other six gods were at the beginning of the Fourth Age. Humans occupied the continent.

The dominance was then well documented.”

While everyone was still thinking, Klein instantly understood the profound meaning of these words. He controlled the "world" and said coldly:

"What you mean is that the Seven Gods were already close to gods before they were promoted to true gods. That's why they were able to quickly gain profits and become gods after the death of the 'all-knowing and omnipotent creator'."

Louise smiled slightly and was noncommittal about Klein's analysis.

After the fall of the "Omniscient and Almighty Creator" believed in by the City of Silver, many powerful extraordinary beings at the angel level swarmed in, frantically grabbing for the characteristics and legacy he left behind, and the one who won in the end became the current god... Such a picture appeared in Al

It was lingering in the minds of Jie and others.

This is a great blasphemy against the gods!

Suddenly, several muffled sounds of knocking on the edge of the table reached their ears. Everyone looked up at the top of the long bronze table and found Mr. Fool safely hidden in the gray mist. He said calmly:

"The 'Aurora Society' is searching for followers of the 'Fool', and be careful of people and things related to the 'True Creator'."

It turned out that we were not discussing the birth of gods... Audrey felt a little disappointed, but this reminder from Mr. Fool also proved the fact that he and the "True Creator" were mortal enemies, and perhaps there was a spiritual process going on in an invisible place.

fight between.

Afterwards, Klein looked around and found that everyone's demeanor had not changed much, so he continued:

"That's it for today's party."

"Follow your will." Everyone bowed and said, Forsi followed silently, a little slower than half a beat.

Cutting off everyone's connection with the crimson stars, Klein was the only one left above the gray fog. He murmured to himself:

"I hope Miss Power can hear the reminder of the second half of the sentence just now, otherwise if a problem arises, she will not be qualified to fight against the 'True Creator'..."

"Moreover, Miss Power obviously has a lot to say. Her understanding of the gods is beyond imagination... I am increasingly suspicious that she is a descendant of Roselle, and maybe she has inherited the wealth left by Mr. Great Emperor.
