Old days in the box

Chapter 477: Development is complete, and the military parade begins!

Subordinate gods were a rather unfamiliar concept to the former Norse pantheon.

Although the former realm of gods also revered Odin as the king of gods, and obtained different names of gods according to the distribution of his "royal power", but in the final analysis, the power of each major god comes from the divine authority they each hold, and there is no relationship of superiority or inferiority between them.

But now, under the illumination of the new law of nature, the sources of power for all believers in God have been unified.

The power of belief in God comes from people's faith. When the scale of legends becomes larger and larger, and when the content of dogma becomes broader and broader, the concept represented by belief in God will naturally cover a variety of symbols and even form a systematic mythological structure.

The subordinate God is the existence that extends from here.

According to the conclusion drawn by Zhou Xiao from long-term observation, after the belief level of God reaches 5 or above, it will naturally evolve towards being a subordinate to God.

As the scale of faith expands, the original supreme god will find it difficult to accommodate too many symbols at the same time, and will instinctively extend some of the symbols to his subordinates below him.

For example, from a single-phase god to a three-phase god, from a single god to multiple gods, from having no offspring to having sons of gods everywhere, from having no followers to having countless servants and creations.

But it should be noted that this extension of the symbol is not essentially a benevolent gift, but an instinctive behavior carried out out of the need to strengthen oneself.

Just as when a tree grows to a certain size, more branches will grow from the main trunk, when a company expands to a certain size, it will begin to acquire and invest in more subsidiaries.

Precisely because it is necessary to accommodate more beliefs, the god of faith will extend different symbols independently, place them in its own subordinate positions and spread them separately in order to attract more mass faith.

All these inferior beings that extend from new doctrines and new legends are their subordinate gods.

Unlike other concept embryos, subordinate gods do not need to establish their own concepts from scratch. They can directly obtain certain symbols from the concepts of the main gods, and use stories that are already well known to people to stand on the shoulders of giants and start their own legends.

But on the other hand, since their symbols are extensions of their main gods, no matter how strong their faith becomes in the future, all newly acquired faith power will automatically be given to their main gods in large part, and their status will never be higher than that of their main gods.

Of course, if any subordinate god has the ability to separate his own followers from the original belief system, and the scale is large enough to tear apart the entire belief, then it can certainly become independent and ascend to become a true god of faith in one fell swoop.

On Earth where Zhou Xiao lives, the Catholic Church has experienced more than one major split in history, and these things are commonplace for believers.

But for now, that’s all in the past.

In today's void, apart from Zhou Xiao who has a plug-in for a box that can directly create subordinate gods through the ascension energy injection function, there are almost no other gods of faith who can meet this standard.

The new laws of nature are still being gradually perfected, and the new gods of faith also need time to develop.

Zhou Xiao looked into the void and witnessed more concept embryos emerging in the following years.

As more divine authority was destroyed by Odin, the total faith value generated in the entire domain was sufficient to support the continuous birth of gods of faith, and various colors of faith light began to emerge in the star map model.

In addition to the original three major beliefs of Emperor Buddha, several new native gods have appeared in the deep space, all with their own unique beliefs, such as the goddess belief "Eve" who hates everything, and the voodoo belief "Mo Luoluo" born from the tribal planet.

After countless fleeting days and nights, Zhou Xiao finally learned: the atrium was ready.

He stopped exploring the void, and after a long time, he withdrew his perception from the star map and returned it to the main screen in front of him.

At this moment in the atrium, ten years had passed since he first returned.

The various realms of the universe are separated by the void, and the speed of time flowing between them is not the same. These ten years have been decades of war for Vanaheim, but for Zhou Xiao who is immersed in the void, it is just a blink of an eye.

He once again turned his gaze towards his own world. After ten years of development, the appearance of the atrium had changed a lot.

On the vast ocean, huge planetary fortresses span continents and are spread across the land and sea of ​​the Central Asian and South Asian war zones, like the protruding steel backbone of the earth.

Directly beneath these planetary fortresses are corresponding underwater cities. They were built with rune arrays of "ocean" authority and have now completed the migration and settlement of all existing mortal subjects.

When things are peaceful on weekdays, these planetary fortresses serve as the production workshops of the intelligent army, responsible for transportation and industrial work.

But once the atrium is invaded, they will immediately become shelters and counterattack weapons, while protecting the underwater city below to the greatest extent, immediately starting the planetary engine to bombard the foreign enemy.

This is a powerful layer of self-protection, which comes from Zhou Xiao's profound experience that "if you fall behind, you will be beaten."

He continued to move his gaze westward and followed the sea to the two major blood cities in the north and south.

It has been several years since he bestowed the "Mother Tree of Desire" on Tyin last time, and the Blood City war zone is now a completely different scene.

On the vast land, he saw that the blood moon environment created by the mother tree had penetrated into every corner of the North and South Blood Capitals, turning it into a foggy and lightless place.

Under the influence of extraordinary miracles, countless flower stamens bloomed on this land, devouring the offspring of the blood clan or other nutritious things, bearing living fruits, and giving birth to more powerful blood descendants.

Relying on this method, Tain has completed the initial reorganization of the undead spirits.

On the bloody black soil, Zhou Xiao saw the army led by Taiyin, which was divided into six legions under the blessing of the "Mother Tree of Desire".

Leading them were the Death Knights blessed by the Mother Tree. Under the sublimation of the "Mother Tree of Desire", they were divided into four legions, each with its own strengths based on different magics.

The sons of midnight are big and strong, holding heavy weapons. They like to use blood bats and strange birds as mounts, and are good at torturing their opponents with undead magic and earth magic.
The ones with flames on their bodies are the Scarlet Knights. They like all strong mounts that can gallop. They will rush into the battle with their mounts and kill their enemies in the most direct way.
The Skeleton Knights lurking in the shadows are immortal guards who prefer to transform treacherous animals into mounts. They are good at stealth and sneak attacks.
The Frozen Skulls are giants with frost-freezing bones. They only attack creatures of gigantic size, and the frost magic they master is enough to freeze their enemies into ice sculptures, which shatter without even bleeding.
