Chapter 143 The Ancient Egg
Chapter 10: The Ancient Egg and the Birth of the Goddess Aurora
Before telling about the goddess of aurora, Sindora, and its related birth and evolution process, I must remind readers again that for those ancient myths and legends in the old age that lack written records, we still can only use sporadic symbol records and a large number of Legendary stories passed down by word of mouth to derive its prototype.

Therefore, its exact origin cannot be completely determined, and there may even be contradictions and illogical content, so please be prepared for this.

Different from the savage and primitive beast worship, and the sun worship developed from farming culture, the evolution of the legend about the Aurora Goddess is even more bizarre. Those ice tribes living near the polar regions have a deep understanding of nature, death, ice and snow, aurora, and starry sky. Deepest memories and fears.

It is also full of mystery and perception of natural spirituality.

The danger of living here often does not come from the intrusion and conquest of other tribes, but more from the harsh natural environment. Sometimes a cold winter can completely wipe out the original powerful tribe. Individual life is so important. So fragile that the poems circulated by the locals are always full of sighs about the impermanence of fate, awe of nature, and fear of the polar winter.

It is not without reason that Syndora possesses priesthoods related to death, starry sky, fate, ice and snow.

However, tracing back to the source, its original source of belief comes from an ancient legend.

This legend is very likely to be constantly distorted and embellished, so that it seems a bit too absurd now, and its content is very messy. I sorted it out systematically and tried to organize it into a complete story.

Legend has it that before the birth of human beings, there was an even older race that ruled the world. In the legends of the Iceborne Tribes, they are called the Immortals. The records of the Nords about the Eternals are incomplete, full of ambiguous descriptions and ambiguities The record of Qici is probably just a vague concept.

One day in 2000, a chief of the Iceland Tribe found a mysterious egg in a frozen cave. He brought the egg back to the tribe and gave it to his daughter as a gift.

He told his daughter that this egg conceived a being with extraordinary power, an ancient life (because the Nords did not have the concept of gods at that time, the chief's description may have been biased).

It is impossible to verify the original intention of the chief's behavior, but the result is very clear.

The girl believed deeply in the words of the chief, and she expressed her thoughts to the egg devoutly, took care of the egg, protected it with body temperature, and protected it from the severe cold.

After so many years, as time went by, some people gradually developed a similar mentality towards this egg. When the chief passed away and the girl became the new chief, this egg gradually became a sacred object of the tribe, and people firmly believed that It is pregnant with some kind of existence with mysterious power, and it is extremely looking forward to the imaginary life that one day the eggs will hatch.

After so many years, the egg finally hatched.

It happened on a certain polar night, when the blizzard came, the whole tribe fell into crisis, people died one by one in the severe cold, until the last moment, the girl insisted on using her own body temperature to protect the safety of the egg .

Just when the whole tribe was about to perish, a miracle happened, the egg was broken, and a girl radiating light and heat was conceived from it. With a wave of her hand, she dispelled the long polar night and irradiated the sun of dawn on people.

She is the original belief of the Ice Plains Tribe and the original form of Sindora - the goddess of dawn, Freyna.

Different from the high and invisible gods in other myths and legends, the Goddess of Dawn appeared in the tribe in the form of human beings in early legends.

Like a real human girl, she lived, migrated, and died together with the members of the tribe.

Legend has it that after Fleena's death, people discovered that she had changed back into an egg, and people believed that the egg would hatch again, so a temple was built to preserve the egg.

However, things did not develop as people said they imagined. When the cold polar night came again, people prayed and worshiped the egg, hoping for another miracle.

However, the miracle did not happen, and because people spent too much energy on building the temple, the collection of supplies and food was delayed, resulting in a tragic disaster.

When the polar night finally passed, the whole tribe was almost extinct, and the frozen bodies of the Nords were everywhere on the ice field. The surviving Nords saw the horrible scene, which made them full of fear and resentment towards the egg. The egg was buried with the corpse, but something surprising happened.

On the third day after the funeral, a black strange bird flew out of the grave. It represented darkness and death, and was the sworn enemy of life. Whenever it sang in the dark with a strange tone, death would come. It became a nightmare for the Nords for hundreds of years.

In the end, the Nords hunted down the terrifying strange bird, and the strange bird turned into an egg again.

The Nords discarded the egg on the ice sheet and left it to fend for itself. However, a miracle happened again. After being illuminated by starlight and aurora, a new goddess was born in the egg—Sindora, the goddess of aurora...

This is the origin of Sindora, the goddess of aurora.

Naturally, there are many false legends and absurd stories.

Just like the ancient egg, it was obviously fabricated and had no logic at all.

The reason why the ice tribes developed such strange beliefs is probably related to their harsh natural environment. Every time a disaster strikes, they will abandon the old gods and seek shelter from new gods.

Because the disaster was so tragic that they lost their minds in the darkness and extreme cold, and made up weird and bizarre stories.

But there is still one thing that confuses me. Why an egg is used as the beginning, and what is the prototype of this egg? I haven’t thought of a reasonable explanation. Perhaps it is destined to become an unsolved mystery ...]

When Sean saw this, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Could it be that this egg is not condensed by the power of faith?Rather, it existed before then.

This is not impossible, the statue spit out by Uruk may be the original faith sustenance.

A mediocre statue is influenced by the power of faith and finally becomes a god with a strong will.

Then it makes sense for an egg to be influenced by the power of faith and eventually become a goddess.

However, judging from the description of this egg, it is obviously completely different from the beast statue in Uruk, and it is a very mysterious existence in itself.

But myths are myths after all, and it is better to have no books than to believe in books, and Ulysses’ textual research may not be absolutely correct. Even he himself is not sure whether the legend about this egg really has its prototype, or whether it is a Nord. Randomly made-up stories.

This kind of thing can't be verified at all, so don't worry too much about it.

However, he discovered the characteristics of this egg from this ancient legend.

It felt the warmth of the girl, watered by hope, and thus gave birth to the loving goddess of dawn.

Then he was buried with a pile of corpses, hated and feared by the Nords, and as a result, the Death Crow was born.

She was illuminated by starlight and aurora for the third time, and no one paid attention to her, giving birth to the three-none girl Aurora Goddess.

From this, we can see a rule, it is very likely that what kind of energy the egg absorbs, what kind of characteristics will be possessed by the thing that is finally hatched.

What kind of emotions are absorbed, and what kind of character is hatched out.

The former is basically certain, but the latter is still only a guess.

Does that mean that if you put it on the fire and roast it yourself, a fire phoenix will hatch?
If you get a bunch of ice stones for her to absorb the energy of frost, an Elsa will hatch.

Then if I use the power of the sun to shine on it for a few months, can I also hatch a sun baby?
It feels very possible.

However, what can be hatched is likely to be related to the power of faith. The power of faith itself is a strong emotion, worship, fear, hatred... No matter what kind of emotion it is, at least it means that people believe it will hatch out of something.

But now that the Nords have already forgotten Sindora, will it hatch a new goddess?

What if some kind of monster hatches?
Sean couldn't help muttering in his heart, this egg feels a bit like a lottery draw now, and it's completely uncertain what it can draw, but its attributes can be controlled to a certain extent, and it has a certain degree of plasticity.

It shouldn't be difficult to hatch it, as long as it is infused with enough energy.

What Sean hopes most is to hatch a super-powered little loli, who can be raised and trained since childhood, and come to a goddess development plan, who is cute and can help fight.

However, since this thing can hatch a death crow, it cannot be completely confirmed that the hatched one must be of the humanoid type.

Xiao En's heart suddenly moved. With it, since it can absorb all kinds of energy, what would happen if he dripped two drops of blood on it?Having absorbed his own blood, wouldn't that mean he became his own child?
Or something similar to recognizing the Lord with a drop of blood...
