Don't call me evil god

Chapter 472: Mortal Myths and God Stories

The supreme miracle bestowed by the God of Light gave mortal civilization a full 500 years of opportunity to recuperate.

During these 500 years, according to the scriptures of the Glorious God Church:

“There are no monsters.

There is no evil god.

There is no intrusion of the void.

More gods descended on the continent of Plantis one after another, bestowing powerful and incredible magic upon mortals, allowing them to rebuild their homes.

At that time, there was more than one country called the Kingdom of Reyak on the continent.

The rapid prosperity of civilization allowed human civilization to recapture the lands that were once occupied by monsters and infested by evil gods, and new countries were established one after another.

Although everyone still believes in the God of Light.

But the importance of the Church of the Light has declined greatly.

Because the continent of Plantis has been peaceful for nearly 500 years, and after dozens of generations of reproduction by short-lived humans, the stories of the "Dark Ages" have become completely mythical existences among mortals.

Without monsters and evil gods, the "purification" effect of the Radiant Divine Art would be useless.

His greatest use is the magic that has healing effects.

It was not until the end of the fifth century of the New Huili that the void invasion returned.

This time the void invasion was even more powerful, because even the God of Light, Navarre, could not completely stop the onslaught of so many evil gods and monsters.

The Dawn Forest soon turned into the Dark Forest. Under the invasion of monsters, one mortal kingdom after another fell.

When the super-class divine art of [Past Glory] was completed, mortal civilization did not repeat the mistakes of the Dark Ages. Under the protection of [Past Glory], it had room to breathe and survive. "

……

These stories, part myth and part history, were recorded by "mortals", especially mortal priests of the Cult of the Radiant.

From God's perspective.

Norman knew much more than that.

For example, the huge and complex dark cave system beneath the surface of the Dark Forest.

Nowen speculated: When the God of Light Navarre descended, the demons, evil gods and the void were not completely driven away, they were merely suppressed and repressed.

The Dark Crypt is the biggest evidence.

500 years later, problems arose in the suppression, leading to the so-called "return of the Void Invasion."

The history recorded by the Cult of the Light also mentions dwarves and the gods they believe in.

The three gods of lava, casting, and wine.

Not long after the coming of Navarre, the god of light, these three gods also came to the world and bestowed their blessings on the dwarves.

With the blessings of the three gods, the dwarves have since devoted their faith to these three gods.

Before, Nowen hadn't noticed anything wrong because he had never seen a dwarf, and the believers' activities had no intersection with the dwarves of the Stone Castle.

Now, Noven could sense something was wrong.

There is obviously a time lag here.

If we talk about gifts.

The gifts bestowed upon the coming of the God of Light are indiscriminate; all civilized races on the entire continent of Plantis are under His protection.

If this is the case, then the dwarves of the New Huili era should believe in the Four Gods.

Why are there no dwarves willing to offer their faith to the God of Light?
This is obviously not right.

Combined with the dwarves' stubborn and one-track mindset.

Noven had a guess.

"The gods believed in by the dwarves in the last era, that is, the Old Age, are related to the three gods of the dwarves in the New Huili era? For example, the gods have the same authority?"

"For the dwarves, this is not called offering a new faith, but rather they have found the gods they once believed in?"

Noven posed the question to Resti.

"You are a god who has lived from the old days until now."

"Who did the dwarves believe in during that era?" Resti answered the question with a question:
"Do you want to hear the mortal myth version, or the god version of the story?"

Noven was stunned.

"Two versions?"

"Tell me everything."

Resti said faintly:

"In the mortal mythology version, there are three gods worshipped by the dwarves in the old days. Their duties and names are: Tros, the god of lava, Gunnir, the god of forging, and Diursor, the god of wine."

"These three gods are considered the three most powerful dwarves in the myths passed down by the dwarves."

"They have become so powerful that they are at the pinnacle of the mortal race. They are worshipped by all dwarves and eventually become gods. They share the power that once belonged to them with all their fellow dwarves."

Norman was shocked: "A mortal can become a god? Is this true?"

This question goes straight to the essence of theocracy.

The so-called supernatural powers of mortals come from the blessing of gods.

Gods exist based on the faith of mortals.

Where did the first gods come from?

If the description in the dwarf mythology is followed, it means that the original gods were mortals who were powerful enough. They transformed the faith of others into divine power and possessed their own authority.

"fake."

Resti flatly denied this possibility.

"It is a mortal myth, like the fictional stories told by the bards, which they made up themselves."

"The story of the gods is that the three dwarf gods were all born from the Holy Altar of Creation."

"It's not just them."

"The gods of the old days all agreed that all gods were originally born in the Holy Altar of Creation, where they possessed their own divine power core and anchored their own divine throne."

"It was only after leaving the Holy Altar of Creation that the gods gained their own consciousness and became aware of their own existence."

“Whether this is true or not, no one knows.”

"Because all the old gods, including me, were already gods the moment they gained consciousness."

"of course."

"In theory, if a mortal can possess a divine core that has not yet been anchored to the throne, then he should indeed have the possibility of becoming a god. As long as the core is anchored, he can open up a kingdom of God and sit on the throne of God. But this is only a theory."

"As for how to do it, let alone mortals, even the gods themselves don't know how they became gods. Anyway, everyone in the old days was born a god."

"Moreover, in the old days, there was no such thing as the divine core in the mortal world."

"I don't know why after I woke up from my slumber, the world now... uh, has changed a lot."

When the Illusion Goddess Resti said this, her tone was a little awkward.

Norman couldn't help laughing.

Because according to Resti, in the old days, He did not even want the throne of God, and destroyed the core of His divine power in order to avoid the fate of being polluted and corrupted.

As a result, when he woke up after an unknown period of time, he was welded back to the throne of God by the core of the divine power that mortals had found from somewhere.

"So, the gods that the dwarves believe in now are not gods that came to the world after the advent of the God of Light as recorded in the books of the Church of Light. Instead, they are gods from the old times just like you? Have they reawakened?"

Noven confirmed.

"No, absolutely not."

Resti said it with certainty.

"Although their names are the same, their divine authority is the same."

"But I am sure that the gods that the dwarves worship and believe in now are not the three from the old days!"

"They are the new gods coming in the new era!"

Norman: “Ah?”
