Chapter 504: Regarding mythology, Teacher Yu also knows a thing or two (4k)
Sinnoh region, Mt. Coronet.
As the highest mountain in the Sinnoh region, Mt. Coronet is integrated with the continuous mountain range that spans the entire Sinnoh region and divides it into east and west sides.
Due to its existence, the climate on both sides of the Sinnoh region is completely different, forming the unique culture of each city.
At the same time, Mt. Coronet is also the legendary starting point for Arceus to create the world.
The Spear Pillar ruins located at the top of Mt. Coronet have always been considered the place where humans first worshipped this creator god.
However, with the development of the times, the records about the relationship between ancient humans and gods have gradually been lost, and now only a very small number of inheritors maintain the few ancient wisdoms themselves.
Just last month, with the permission of the inheritors, Professor Carolina, one of the two highest-status regional professors in Sinnoh located in Celestic Town, began a new round of investigation into the Spear Pillar ruins.
And this scientific research team not only included relevant talents from the entire Celestic Town History Research Institute, but even the Sinnoh Champion lady, Professor Carolina's granddaughter Cynthia, personally participated in it.
It can be seen how much the Sinnoh League attaches importance to this action.
Before spending a year speed-running the Sinnoh League and the Champion Road, Cynthia was first a mythologist, and then a trainer, so her professionalism naturally goes without saying.
Although there are occasional different voices, believing that Champion Cynthia is just more interested in archaeological work, and threw all the League work to other Elite Four...
But this kind of thing, just think about it and you know it's impossible~
And the support of the Champion lady undoubtedly made this action much smoother.
"My god..."
Deep in the Spear Pillar ruins, a researcher holding a torch stared at the countless murals depicting history in front of him, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
All along, their cognition of the Spear Pillar ruins as mythologists only stopped at the small part exposed on the surface.
However, I didn't expect that the previous research was just the tip of the iceberg of the entire ruins!
This complete ruin not only recorded the observations of ancient Sinnoh people when exploring the region through murals but also placed a large amount of content on several gods they were somewhat unfamiliar with.
Their identities are not difficult to guess.
The ones passed down by word of mouth by inheritors and recorded in ruins all over the place—
The God of Time Dialga, the God of Space Palkia, and the God of the Distortion World Giratina.
(The three of us)
This discovery undoubtedly verified the previous legends about the Spear Pillar ruins.
Ancient Sinnoh people really once saw the existence of these three legends here, and even Arceus has a clear record in the murals.
However...
Compared with their new discoveries, the content on these murals is not worth mentioning.
"Are these ritual items used by ancient humans for worship?"
At the forefront of the team, Cynthia, who changed into a researcher's outfit, bowed her head and pondered, her eyes looking at the huge container in front of her from time to time.
With Arceus as the center, the outside is two sets of triangular structures in opposite directions, forming a mysterious hexagram.
Cynthia was somewhat familiar with the Pokémon corresponding to one of the triangles.
The three legendary Pokémon known as the "Lake Guardians" by Sinnoh people, who bring wisdom, emotion, and willpower to humans respectively.
Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.
(The Lake Trio)
They live in three huge lakes in Sinnoh respectively, and occasionally appear in front of humans to predict the arrival of disasters.
Therefore, Cynthia knows them.
As for the Pokémon corresponding to the other triangle, it can only be guessed.
However, combined with the content on the murals, their identities can actually be basically determined.
"It is said that because the power of the three gods is too powerful, in order to prevent their existence from causing irreversible effects on the real world, the creator god Arceus opened up unique planes for each of them."
Professor Carolina, who was hunched but energetic, stepped forward and muttered to herself.
"Could it be... that this is the backup left by the creator god for them?"
"Through a special ritual, let them briefly appear in the real world to fulfill their duties."
Professor Carolina soon put forward her own views.
This is a remarkable discovery.
If the conjecture is true, this power should be the trump card left by the creator god for humans.
All along, the confusion surrounding how Sinnoh people appeared at the top of Mt. Coronet and generated primitive worship of the creator god Arceus has been the topic that Sinnoh mythologists are most keen on.
After all, if the way ancient humans could contact Arceus could be discovered, perhaps it could make it reappear in this world and bless humans again.
According to the inheritors of Sinnoh, the ancient Sinnoh people once possessed the magical power to directly talk to legendary Pokémon and calm their anger.
This point also matches the current archaeological discoveries.
Only by mastering this special power can one reach a consensus with these legendary existences and temporarily borrow their power.
If this ability could be mastered again...
Perhaps even the power of gods could be used by humans.
It is said that to this day, a considerable number of people still hold such ideas and are trying in secret.
Perhaps it was because of this greed that humans lost this power.
Thinking of this, Professor Carolina couldn't help but shake her head.
"It's better not to announce the current archaeological discoveries to the public for the time being."
"Moreover, to replicate this ancient ritual, we currently lack too much important information, and the cost of rash attempts may be difficult to bear."
Cynthia behind her nodded gently, her eyes looking at the container in the center of the ruins again.
Except for the keyhole in the center that didn't know how to open for the time being, the three grooves around it obviously also needed to be filled with three different items.
Judging from the shape, is it some kind of round orb?
Besides that, the way humans communicate with these legendary existences has also been lost in the dust of history.
If any of the three questions cannot be answered, the risk of this ritual will increase by a few points.
Therefore, she also fully agreed with her grandmother's view.
This trip to Mt. Coronet seemed to have gained many discoveries, but in fact, as their research went deeper, they felt that the information they currently lacked seemed to be getting more and more...
