Survival for all: I, the creator of the halo.

Chapter 186 Ancient Gods and New Gods

Ning Ze didn't take the stories Hu Er told too seriously. After all, they were legends and myths from the past. Even if they were real things, they would not have much impact on him currently.

"Since the God of Heavenly Fire has been eliminated, it stands to reason that the Heavenly Fire Holy See should not exist anymore. But what happened to the appearance of the Heavenly Fire Holy See later? Also, the God of Skyfire is not dead?" Ning Ze asked road.

In this regard, Hu Er gave an explanation: "The God of Sky Fire was indeed eliminated by the gods. There is no doubt about this. After all, when the gods decided to kill the God of Sky Fire, the main reason was not that the God of Sky Fire stole the earth. Fire, but his actions led to the birth of a new god who controls ice. According to the provisions of the will of the world, there is a fixed number of god positions. When a new god comes, it means the fall of an old god. , if this rule is violated, even the gods will suffer unpredictable backlash."

Ning Ze was a little surprised by this theory, which seemed a bit like the law of conservation of energy.

Hu Er continued: "The birth of the Sky Fire Holy See does not mean the rebirth of the God of Sky Fire. To be precise, it is the remnants of the Sky Fire Holy See who are preparing to resurrect the God of Sky Fire. However, such behavior is opposed by many Holy Sees because of the age of the ancient gods. It has long past, once an ancient god like the God of Heavenly Fire comes, it will cause turmoil among the gods of the Holy See."

"Oh? Is there any insurmountable difference between the new gods and the ancient gods?" Ning Ze asked curiously.

She Yi, Niu Yi and others didn't know much about these things, so they could only listen to Hu Er continue to talk: "There is indeed a relatively large gap between the ancient gods and the new gods. Fundamentally speaking, where I am All the gods of the Holy See in that era evolved from the ancient gods."

"For example, the predecessor of the God of Glory was the God of the Fierce Sun. He eventually evolved into the God of Glory after devouring part of the bodies of the God of Fire, the God of Light, and other ancient gods."

"The same is true for the God of Dark Night. The original God of Darkness swallowed part of the power of the stars and the body of the God of Ice, and then evolved into the God of Dark Night."

"Of course, the swallowed ancient gods are not completely annihilated. When the ancient gods are swallowed by the gods, they will often retain part of their godhead by the will of the world. The purpose of this is to preserve the existence of the god. The second is to retain the god’s power over the world.”

Hu Er explained in such detail that everyone present could understand the words, but it also made Ning Ze realize that the background of this world may be more complicated than he imagined.

The fact that gods can devour each other means that these so-called gods are not peaceful things, and there must be a clear enemy-enemy relationship between many Holy Sees.

But with the excavation of ancient ruins and the emergence of cores, judging from the information he currently has, it seems that at least these Holy Sees are on a united front regarding the invasion of other realms.

Ning Ze was no longer interested in listening to the mythical stories from the ancient era.

According to Hu Er, this ancient ruins is not the location of any core, but the ruins of the Skyfire Holy See. Almost all of the players who explored the ruins had some unexpected events in this ruins.

It is not clear whether it was a dangerous situation or just a near miss. After all, those who could devote themselves to Wang Zhi were all those who escaped safely and successfully. From their words, Ning Ze There is no way to learn too much useful information.

The only useful information is that someone once discovered the existence of some living creatures in this ruins, but due to the dark environment, it was impossible to distinguish their specific forms.

Just at this time, Wang Xu and others also came to his vicinity at his signal.

Ning Ze didn't waste much time and asked Wu Tianyou to look for the entrance to the ruins. Soon, Wu Tianyou found the correct entrance based on his memories.

"There are a lot of footprints inside the entrance, but judging from the direction of the footprints, there are more in and less out."

Only one entrance to this ruins has been excavated, and through the footprints, he found that the footprints with toes pointing deep into the entrance were very numerous and complex, but the ones with toes pointing outside the entrance could barely be counted.

This may be because these explorers walked slower when entering the entrance, so they would leave more footprints, but the fact that cannot be changed is that according to the number of footprints, the number of people coming out of the entrance will not exceed 100. This has a big way out from the hundreds of people Wu Tianyou and others mentioned before.

"There are far fewer people coming out than people going in. Dozens of hours have passed. Even if the terrain inside is complicated, there is no reason why we can't find the original way out."

"The only explanation is that the vast majority of these people should still be in this ruins. They may still be alive, or they may have died long ago."

The situation analyzed through these situations was not optimistic, but Ning Ze decided to lead everyone in to explore.

After all, nothing in this world is absolutely safe. Everything you do will involve certain risks. If you shrink back when there is danger, he will not be where he is today.

In the blink of an eye, a group of people entered the ruins through the entrance one after another.

Similar to the core ruins, the ruins of the Heavenly Fire Holy See are not an open space, but also an underground building space.

Regarding this point, Hu Er also gave an explanation. Because the Skyfire Holy See is defined as a cult, it is impossible to blatantly build the Holy See building on the ground. It can only be built underground, so that it can be better hidden and will not be People find it easily.

Walking in the basement, Ning Ze clearly felt that the temperature inside the space was higher than the temperature outside, and there was also some strange smell in the air.

Even Wang Xu, who has some research on geology, couldn't immediately figure out what these smells represented. In order to avoid the possibility of these smells being poisonous to the human body, he ordered everyone to wear gas masks.

He has a lot of this stuff in his backpack, and it can be equipped for 200 or [-] people. It has a good functional effect for exploring the underground space in this location and environment.

And Ning Ze didn't just walk into the depths of the basement. At the same time, he was also observing some features of the underground passages.

Different from the underground passages in the core ruins, the passages here are made of hard and regular rocks, with many carvings on them.

The content of the carvings is also quite complex, with some more vivid patterns and some abstract patterns, and some of these patterns still have some marks such as symbols.Ning Ze couldn't see these patterns very clearly. He could only analyze some simple patterns, but he was probably sure that these patterns served more of a decorative effect. On the contrary, it was these strange runes that interested him.

In response, he called Hu Er and said, "Can you tell what these symbols represent?"

Hu Er also looked at the wall of the basement passage for a while, and then slowly said: "It's a language I don't recognize. It may be a language from ancient times. If you look at it alone, it may be difficult to understand it. meaning, but if combined with these patterns, these words should provide some explanations of these patterns, because according to records, in ancient times, many people in the Holy See liked to record some important information in this way. matter."

Ning Ze also felt that his analysis made sense, so he nodded and said, "Then what are these patterns probably telling?"

Hu Er frowned for a while and then said: "Judging from the patterns, it should record the battle between the God of Sky Fire and the Ancient Gods in the ancient era. I can't understand the specific details, but I always feel that these patterns There is a big discrepancy between what is recorded and what is said in the legend.”

Ning Ze did not respond, but saw Hu Er quickly coming to a section of the wall, pointing to the murals on it and saying: "These should be what happened when the people of the Heavenly Fire Holy See stole the Earth Fire. From the appearance of the image, these people are all Heavenly Fire." There is no doubt that he is from the Holy See, but this person’s image is completely different from the people from the Heavenly Fire Holy See, and these people seem to be kneeling down to worship this person, which is really unbelievable.”

"Is there anything strange about this?" Ning Ze asked immediately.

"As we all know, no matter whether it is the ancient era or the subsequent eras, people belonging to the Holy See rarely kneel down and worship a certain existence. This method will only be used when worshiping the god of the Holy See. This is not the case for any The rules followed by the Holy See." Hu Er explained.

"Is it possible that the Heavenly Fire Holy See members on these patterns are kneeling before their God of Heavenly Fire?" Ning Ze guessed.

But Hu Er immediately retorted: "This makes no sense, because the God of the Holy See never meets the Holy See staff. The way the God of the Holy See exists is similar to a belief in the hearts of the Holy See staff. They can only feel it, but cannot See."

Ning Ze did not continue to ask. After all, it was just a mural. People who painted murals usually used a more vivid way to express one thing. Perhaps the person worshiped by the people of the Heavenly Fire Church on the mural was their god. It's just that the portrayal of people is expressed in a more anthropomorphic way.

But soon, he also discovered something strange on the mural. Because Hu Er had explained the mural before, he could barely understand the specific content of some murals.

"Hu Er, look at this mural. It should record the scene when the gods devoured the God of Sky Fire. However, the meaning expressed by this mural seems not to be that the God of Sky Fire was devoured by the gods, but that the God of Sky Fire took the initiative. Did you give your body to the gods?"

This was very different from the legend Hu Er had told before. Hu Er immediately ran over to take a look and couldn't help but frown.

Finally, he gave an explanation: "Perhaps it is a way for the Heavenly Fire Holy See to whitewash itself or to brainwash the people within the Holy See."

This explanation is reasonable. After all, these murals are burned on the walls and can be seen by anyone within the Holy See. The content they depict must be directed towards the God of the Holy See.

"It feels like an MLM class, but what do these strange symbols represent?" In addition to the symbols he pointed out before, there is another form of symbol on the mural. It can be clearly seen that there are two The symbols are not of the same type.

Hu Er seemed to have a better understanding of these strange symbols, and said: "These symbols are somewhat similar to the magic symbols used by the Holy See. They should be burned on these walls, which can trigger some wards to come out, but there is no need to worry, lord, because time Over time, these symbols have suffered a certain degree of wear and tear and have long lost their original effect.”

"Generally speaking, the Holy See's magic requires the use of some special symbols. The magic symbols burned on the wall can usually be effective for a long time, but it is difficult to maintain them for 1000 years."

After hearing what Hu Er said, Ning Ze stopped focusing on these symbols and continued to look at the content of the murals on the wall.

This passage is very long, without any branching paths, and the walls of the entire basement passage are carved with murals.

And as he continued to look, Ning Ze saw more and more strange things.

For example, the murals clearly recorded that the God of Heavenly Fire had given his body to the gods, but after that, they seemed to be worshiping a masked being.

Hu Er was also very confused about this phenomenon and could not give any explanation for the moment.

Later murals recorded things outside the Heavenly Fire Holy See. For example, the battles between the gods began to intensify, and fierce battles were launched against other ancient gods. The defeated ancient gods were devoured by other ancient gods. This Some of the content is in line with the stories Hu Er said before.

Because the ancient gods did devour each other and evolved into the more powerful god of the Holy See.

But these murals related this matter to the God of Heavenly Fire. The devouring among the ancient gods was because the God of Heavenly Fire actively donated his body, which made these ancient gods realize that devouring other ancient gods can make them powerful. own affairs.

Hu Er also frowned and said: "The incident recorded on these murals may be true. The evolution of the gods did occur after the death of the God of Sky Fire, but the two incidents are very related. Still doubtful.”

However, Ning Ze asked a question that touched his soul: "Is the God of Heavenly Fire the first god to fall?"

Hu Er immediately fell silent. This question can be said to be a direct hit, because before the God of Skyfire died in battle, many ancient gods died in battle, and in his knowledge, the ancient gods who died in battle in the past did not There have been cases where ancient gods devoured each other.

Ning Ze did not continue to ask, but noticed that a strange eyeball often appeared on these murals, often hanging high in the sky above the content of the murals, as if watching everything on the earth.

According to Hu Er's speculation, this eyeball may be the so-called will of the world, because in subsequent murals, these ancient gods also launched an attack on the eyeball and swallowed part of the eyeball.
