Don't call me evil god

Chapter 775 Mystery of the Times
The common word "detection" is of great concern to Nowen.

In his previous understanding, pollution, evil gods, monsters and the like were clearly the cancer of the world, destined to destroy everything.

If the test is to be conducted by destroying monsters, then it can obviously be described in a more accurate way, such as "trial".

In the message from the Magic Goddess, the word "detection" was used.

When believers explore and fight in the dark dungeons, they also activate the "detection mode".

The term "trial" was coined by Nowen himself.

The structural layers of the dark cave made Nowen very determined in his ideas.

Since it is called an “isolation layer”, it must be isolating something, right?

The most common creatures in the dark dungeon are obviously monsters!

Isolate monsters, especially dangerous monsters above level 3.

So the Darkcrypt functions like a "prison".

It makes sense to think this way.

Including the "leakage layer" area at the top, almost near the surface.

When the leakage layer was discovered, Nowen thought that perhaps the power of pollution was too strong, so that the underground prison system could not completely seal and suppress it inside, and it would inevitably leak to the outside world.

In the most radical idea, Nowen even suspected that the return of the void invasion at the end of the 5th era of the New Huili, and the void dimension rift that was created by the explosion in the depths of the Dark Forest, might actually be related to the Dark Crypt.

For example, because this place has been unattended or uncared for by gods for a long time, some serious malfunction has occurred, causing it to lose its effectiveness and pollution to overflow.

It is equivalent to a prisoner escaping successfully.

But now it seems that the situation is more complicated than I expected.

"Is there a possibility?"

Noven discussed with Resti thoughtfully:
"The place that the people of the New Huili call the Dark Crypt, in the beginning, it was not a prison at all, but a serious facility?"

"The realm of arcane detection."

"Some place where believers of the goddess of magic and mages can come here to undergo testing and receive their rewards?"

Resti's main character is the one who knows nothing about anything.

"what?"

"Like this?"

"I do not know!"

Noven curled his lips helplessly.

"Forget it, let's change the question."

"Did the gods and mortals of the olden days know of the existence of the Dark Crypt?"

"Oh, I know that!" Resti finally showed some use: "I can be sure that there is absolutely no such thing! The Dark Forest at that time was an ancient forest, and explorers and adventurers often went there to explore."

"Although there were events like the Monster Red Tide back then, the way it was presented was completely different from what it is now, and the mortals used a variety of names for it."

"Humans call it the Plague of Monsters, dwarves call it the Night of Distortion, and elves call it the Black Tide of Blasphemy... Anyway, they all came up with their own words."

"The gods have never found a clear reason for the void invasion, so there has been no unified explanation, and everyone has their own opinions."

"At that time, there was no super-level magic like [Past Glory] that was theoretically impossible for mortals to use, but the number of professionals was much greater than it is now, and their strength was much stronger, so people relied more on their own strength to resist monsters."

"Whenever a monster disaster strikes, rifts directly connected to the void dimension will appear out of thin air all over the world."

"Before the monster disaster breaks out, the mortals will gather in some safe cities and towns, and then powerful professionals will protect the cities and eliminate the monsters rushing out from the void dimension."

Noven thought about it and reacted.

"It's similar to the situation during Ceylon's Eternal Night, right?"

Resti laughed awkwardly twice.

“Hehe…hahaha…right.”

He almost fell in the Ceylon region and became a disgraced god who was pushed by mortals to become an evil god. The state of Ceylon during the eternal night was very similar to what Resti described.

Void cracks appeared out of nowhere everywhere, and monsters did not need to pollute normal plants and animals to be born. Instead, monsters that originally belonged to the void dimension invaded the mortal world.

Norman was not surprised that the mortals in the old days were stronger.

Just look at the situation over at Stone Fort.

The ancestors of the dwarves used to fight with creatures like the Stone Monsters at every turn, okay?
Now, just 6 stone spirit freaks almost destroyed the stone fortress. Nowen estimated that this thing was only an elite monster among monsters in the past.

……

Noven used his brain to sort out his thoughts.

If the descriptions of the origin of gods in Genesis are true.

Then the development of this world can be roughly divided into five stages.

Arranged in order from earliest to latest.

In the earliest times, there were no gods, only the Creator and the dimensions and life He created.

This is the first stage of the world, which Nowen tentatively calls the "Age of Creation."

Whether this period is the world's "history" or "mythology" has been debated by mortals for a long time, and whether the world was created by the Creator has not yet been determined. Many archaeologists and mythologists are keen on studying this and travel around the world in order to find evidence to support their views, but their progress is touching.

In the second stage, the world had helpers from the Creator, such as the Mother Goddess of Life, the God of Death, the Lord of Elements, the Goddess of Magic, and the Lord of the Devil, and mortal civilization was gradually prospering.

They have apparently shared their power with mortals, allowing the civilization of this world to develop in the direction of "theism".

This is something Noven can be sure of.

The evidence is a message found in the Darkcrypt, or the realm of arcane detection.

If what Resti said is true.

That means that long before the birth of the gods of the old days, there were mortals who believed in the goddess of magic, gained her power, and were able to obtain rewards through so-called tests.

And this should also be something instructed by the Creator. After all, in the message left by the Magic Goddess, she mentioned several times that He was doing things according to "the Creator's ideas."

The first invasion of the void is a landmark event.

According to the Revised Version of Genesis.

The first batch of gods were born, and the world entered the third stage, the so-called Old Age.

More gods, more beliefs, and more kinds of abilities.

The new gods bestowed their power on mortals, allowing them to have the ability to fight against monsters and making the development direction of the "theistic" world more stable.

The "End of the Gods" event marked the end of the Old Age.

The world has entered the 4th age, the Dark Ages.

The old gods died cleanly.

Mortals lost the help of gods, and the world fell under the invasion of the void.

Until the fifth era, the arrival of the new era.

New "gods" have arrived.

The world regained order and stability, and civilization was able to revive and continue.

The sequence is complete and coherent.

Therefore, there are a total of three records of gods being "born" into this world.

Then Noven discovered a suspicious point.

The timing of one incident was very vague and ambiguous!

"The Goddess of Magic and the God of Death, when exactly did they stop responding to mortals' prayers?"
