Chapter 569: Those

Those "Hims" Who Never Ascended to the Divine Seat...

"There's nothing to say. It's just an old story of winners and losers.

You have experienced the era I lived in, so I think you have some understanding of the evil god faith that was once popular in Duoer Gede."

Afu Luosi's first sentence pulled Cheng Shi's thoughts back to that chaotic era of life.

Not bad, Cheng Shi does understand evil gods. He also played the role of an evil god believer with Zhang Jizu.

"The Continent of Hope is not the hometown where gods were born. They, no matter which one, all come from the distant starry sky.

When there are enough people believing in Them on this continent, They will be attracted to look. And when faith breaks through a certain critical point They are interested in, the gods descend.

This is the reason for Their appearance."

Afu Luosi also seemed to have fallen into the complex emotions of memory. He stared at the center of the long table, his eyes dazed, and told slowly.

Cheng Shi and Hong Lin subconsciously tightened their nerves. In their hearts, they were both secretly happy and uneasy, listening intently to the history in the other party's mouth, not daring to miss a single bit.

"So, initially, there was no fixed number of divine seats. As many of Them descended, there were as many divine seats.

But not all of Them would have real bestowal and visible protection for believers. Only those with the most cohesive faith and huge numbers of believers would truly bestow blessings on the lives under the gods. So, in order to pursue divine greatness, people had the so-called wave of faith.

I often feel that faith doesn't have piety first, but because the flow of desire makes faith have piety.

It was precisely because I realized this truth that I became His believer in the second era."

Cheng Shi listened and raised his eyebrows, thinking that this is consistent with the cognition of epoch development and era replacement. Mortals pursuing divine greatness is beyond reproach, especially in the ignorant era, serving around the gods is probably what mortals pursue all their lives.

"These gods with a large number of believers were called righteous gods or True Gods before.

And those gods with few believers, uneven piety, and almost no divine bestowal or whose divine bestowal was equivalent to a curse, due to the fear brought by their unknown and mystery, it was difficult to support the spread of their faith. They also never ascended to the stage of world faith, so these existences were called evil gods or wild gods by mortals.

But whether righteous or evil, true or wild, in the end, They are all Them, all gods high above.

It's just that not all of Them could get... the official name of 【*Him】."

"???"

Cheng Shi listened with a frozen gaze, thinking, how come 【Origin】 is here again?

Yes, 【*Him】 created everything and naturally has something to do with all of Them, but the problem is, what does official name mean?

He didn't dare to ask, for fear of interrupting Afu Luosi's train of thought, and chose to continue listening in silence.

"In the first era, whether true or wild, They coexisted harmoniously.

But at the end of the era, except for 【Life】, the other gods... all disappeared.

Fortunately, They made a comeback in the second era. It's just that this time, They had no power to compete with 【Life】 for authority.

However, authority is not just 【Life】. Several of Them stood at the peak of faith in the second era, so at the end of the era, They... formed 【Sinking】."

"!!!"

What does it mean to form 【Sinking】?

Were the three gods of the 【Sinking】 path combined?

Are They not the order of era evolution? Is it possible that besides natural evolution, this 【Sinking】 path can have other combinations?

Who combined Them?

【Origin】!

It's 【Origin】!

This question just rose in his mind, and Cheng Shi thought of the answer himself. Everything about Them is influenced by 【*Him】 "behind the scenes," but "combination" sounds less like "behind the scenes" influence and more like 【*Him】 standing directly on the stage!

Thinking of what Afu Luosi said before that 【*Him】 would appear at the end of every era, so...

【*Him】 will appear at the end of every era and give an official name to the gods that appeared in this era?

The God of Joy's "bestowing a divine name and handing over all authority" also means this!!

Ah?

So the truth of the gods in the universe is actually that a group of gods are waiting for the end of the era, and then want to fight for the few spots in 【Origin】's hands?

No, what kind of development is this? Competitive employment?

So the current sixteen True Gods are actually winners of the competitive employment system, and 【Origin】 is the HR who issues "regularization" spots?

Mom, where did you bring me?

The world is at the end, players have started to worship gods, and you tell me that the gods are actually here for "civil service exams"!?

But the era of 【Void】 hasn't ended yet, how did 【Deception】 and 【Fate】 get on the job directly?

Cheng Shi was confused. He blinked in shock, his brain in a mess. He looked at Hong Lin with a complex expression, only to find that Da Mao was just as confused as him. The two looked at each other, and after seeing the shock and suspicion in each other's eyes, they pressed down their thoughts, covered their expressions, and said nothing more.

"But this situation changed in the third era.

【Order】 descended. Before His believers triggered a wave of faith, He descended with supreme authority.

He gave divine oracles to watch the development of civilization, slaughtered countless evil gods who destroyed order, and... gave the wild gods who followed order a 'position', a position subordinate to 【Order】.

And the 【Ming Lei】 you found is one of them.

However, I need to declare one thing: the slaughter here does not refer to a divine war, but that the evil gods slaughtered themselves in fear.

After that, whether it was 【Ming Lei】 or 【Blazing Sun】, or the others, under the witness of 【Order】, They became the puzzle of the universe guarding 【Order】.

However, even if They got the recognition of 【Order】, They didn't survive the end of the era.

So, when 【Chaos】 opened, 【Order】 found Them again, but at that time, there were gods who no longer believed in 【Order】.

For example, 【Blazing Sun】. He insisted that 【Order】 hadn't fulfilled His promise, so He abandoned His promise and plunged into the embrace of 【Chaos】, becoming His Messenger... 【Wrath of Hatred】.

And then came the era of 【Existence】. They came with authority like 【Order】. At this time, there were already gaps between the gods, but under the mediation of the master of the era, everyone was still relatively peaceful.

Until... until my brother, you, told me that a divine war happened in this era!

So, why did They start a divine war, and what was the outcome of the divine war?"

Afu Luosi stared at Cheng Shi like a torch, wanting an answer.

Cheng Shi gave two bitter laughs:

"If I had already retrieved my memory at this time, you would definitely know the answer today, because this doesn't count as a secret at all.

But now, I can only say that I don't remember why They started the divine war. I only know that after the divine war ended, the 【Convention】 protected sixteen divine seats. As for the other gods...

They are probably waiting for revenge in the next era.

If there is one." ===== CHAPTER 570 =====
