When the conversation box opened, His Majesty finally stopped hiding it, but told everything he had learned and thought.As a result, some of the secrets of the battle between the gods slowly unfolded in front of Amon and the sword saint Atanasius.The multiverse is vast, no one knows how many star beasts have existed, and naturally no one knows how many main material planes are derived from the corpses of star beasts, and among these main material planes, there are always some intelligent beings who have embarked on the path of faith, and stepped through the door frame of the false gods and entered the ranks of true gods.This probability is naturally not high, but under the huge base, the number of true gods is actually extremely considerable.However, the attainment of the true God does not mean security, but rather the fact that there will be more fierce disputes with other true gods because of believers, kingdoms, priesthoods, and even Godheads.The true gods represent the rules, claiming to be immortal, but that is only a claim, there are always powerful beings who can threaten the true gods, even other true gods, and thus cause their fall.That's right, the true gods will fall, and naturally they will be afraid of the fall!
As a result, the true gods began to connect with each other, form alliances, make contracts, and swear to the River Styx in order to establish a closer and stronger alliance of the true gods, to keep warm and unanimous with the outside world.Thus, the divine system was born!
At the beginning of the formation of the god system, in fact, most of them were named after regions, after all, the true gods from the same main material plane have a common language and culture, and they will naturally get close, and after coming together, they will become a god system.For example, the original origin of the gods of the Wharton plane came from a primary material plane called the 'Forgotten Realm', and thus, the 'Forgotten Realm' became the name of this god system.The god of the Sakqi's crown, the great god of power and prestige, Zirtus, originally arose from a plane called the 'Grey Eagle', and from this, those gods formed the Grey Eagle god line.In addition to this, there are some famous gods throughout the multiverse, such as the Feron gods, the Norse gods, the Olympian gods, the Egyptian gods, and many more......
Of course, this is the beginning stage, and after spending the initial huddle for warmth, the contradictions within the god system begin to accumulate.The gods, especially those from one of the main material planes, had too many points of friction between them.Whether it is the conflict left over from history, or the contention of believers, whether it is the contradiction between the churches, or the conspiracy behind it, these will lead to the accumulation of distrust, until a certain stage, the internal struggle becomes the main contradiction between the gods.And this, of course, is a precursor to the collapse of the divine system.So, at a certain time, the gods developed by different races began to be born, such as human gods, dragon gods, orc gods, dwarf gods, elven gods, halfling gods, and so on......
Of course, this kind of god system did not last long, and today, it has become the norm for true gods to leave and put their names in different god systems.For example, the god Kod, whom Amun is very familiar with, and whom Kelmar worships, represents strength and courage in the Wharton plane, but in Atlantis, he is the god of fighting and the representative of the battle priesthood, and his authority is completely different.The gods, after all, are self-centered, self-interested beings who act according to their own interests, and they are selfish, and in some ways, that's it!
Until now, the divine system has evolved into a complex and cumbersome network of relationships, and if you say it is loose, it really is not absolutely binding; But you have to say that it is nothing, and they still have to keep the oaths and covenants that were made.The intricacies of their relationships, the number of vows and covenants, and the confusion of their secrets are so difficult to sort out even the true God himself.And when the true gods leave, join other gods, and take the true gods of other gods to attack the original gods, it happens from time to time, and even intensifies in the long timeline.This is also the original origin of the dispute between the gods!
As for Sakzi Iragern, yes, he was not a native of the Wharton plane, or rather, only half a native, as Amon had suspected.His body was conceived and grown in this plane, but his soul, his mature soul, came from another main material plane, a plane controlled by the Gray Eagle God System.And he, the chosen person of Zirtus, the god of power and prestige, descended from another plane and became the mad archmage of this plane in the mode of soul rebirth.Well, if Amon is a kind of traverser, a soul fusion rebirth, then Sakqi's crown can be regarded as a soul piercing.Because he is a soul piercing, he has complete knowledge from the Gray Eagle God Line, such as the ruling system of Ordian City, such as his magical knowledge and this mage tower, for example, he knows about the secrets of the gods.These are not the knowledge that a person in the plane can acquire, it must be the vision and cognition that can only be cultivated on a larger stage.Even the book he once gave to Amon, the book that recorded the cultivation path of the Red Dragon Warlock, was from other planes, and it was one of his gains.Of course, despite the secret protection of Zirtus, the god of power and prestige, and even though he is half native, this soul piercing still only obtains an incomplete dimensional imprint.And this is also the reason why the crown of Sakqi is not old and decrepit.The punishment of the plane's pan-consciousness was indeed not directly manifested, but it unconsciously eroded his body and even his soul.In the realm of the epic powerhouses of Sakqi, they are about to run out of oil.This is the price, the authority of the full plane panconsciousness!
In other words, it's not just Celia seeking to wage war to reclaim the kingdom that belongs to the Patronus of the Northlands Ranger, in fact, His Majesty Sakqi is also looking forward to this battle.His body didn't last long, and he needed to let his more than twenty years of labor bear fruit before he died.As for death, it's really nothing.Again, for the true God, death is not the end, but also the beginning, a new birth.As the chosen people of Zltus, as long as His Majesty is able to accomplish his task well, then death is tantamount to a return to the arms of God.It is possible to be born again, to be resurrected, to be even more powerful, and even to become a god.And this battle of the god system, traced back to the source, is the god of power and prestige of the Gray Eagle god system, who wants to intervene in the main material plane controlled by the god system of the 'Forgotten Realm'.If He wants to preach here, to develop believers here, he must follow the rules of the divine lineage.The city of Ordian was founded for destruction, and the Mad Archmage Sakzi Iraghen was doomed to death.But destruction and ashes, killing and death are not the decisive points in this battle of gods, it is this 'Book of Faith' that really determines the outcome of the victory, and it is the 'Book of Faith' that fills this 'Book of Faith' with the purest power of faith!
In the study, at the round table, Amon stretched out his hand and took the book of faith in front of him, staring at it tightly, as if he wanted to understand the mystery.Sword Saint Athanasius was the most impatient to wait, and spoke: "Old friend, I still haven't been able to figure it out, why is it this book that decides the victory or defeat?"
And what does it have to do with this war?
”Sakqi seemed a little helpless, as if he was anxious about his old friend's IQ, but he still explained seriously: "What do you think the gods need?"
”The Juggernaut replied naturally, "Faith!
”"Yes, faith, the purest faith, the most fanatical faith, the faith that remains steadfast even when it is on the verge of despair.And this, it is necessary to destroy the city of Ordian. ”His Majesty exhaled slightly, as if he wanted to vent the depression in his heart: "Only the destruction of Ordian City, only the perseverance and piety of countless believers before destruction and death, is the purest power of faith, and can be absorbed by this book. ”As he spoke, His Majesty looked at Amon again and asked, "What do you see?"
”Amon was slightly silent before he said, "Seed, I saw a seed!"
”"Yes, a seed, a seed watered with the purest faith.If the book gathers enough faith power after the destruction of Ordian, then this seed will take root, bear fruit, and be born as a true God's chosen person in this plane.It is a new life after destruction, a victory for Zertus, who will have the right to preach freely in this plane, and without the barriers of the gods, he cannot be targeted!
But if the power of faith is insufficient, the seed will not sprout, it will wither, wither, and die.And this is the real destruction, the victory of the gods of the Northland, and everything I have worked for will cease to exist, and Ziltus will naturally not be able to gain a foothold in this plane. ”Even with Amon's well-informed and hearted city, he was dizzy to hear at this time.It turns out that this is the real battle of the gods!
It all started with a pact made by Zertus and the gods of the Forgotten Realm!
These gods are so idle!
After a pause, Amon suddenly asked: "Then, I want to ask, this battle of the gods, this battle of slaughtering the city, this thrilling bet, does anyone care about those people of Ordian City?"
Those innocent mortals who will die with the destruction of the kingdom?
”As soon as these words came out, the Sword Master straightened his waist and stared at his old friend, his eyes burning.And Sak Qi was slightly distracted, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "When you are playing, have you ever cared about the ants at your feet?"
Have you ever thought that your random stamping, trampling, and dumping sewage are earthquakes, floods, and destruction for an ant kingdom?
”Amun's eyes narrowed slightly, and the Sword Master seemed a little difficult to accept, only to hear the faint voice of Sak Qi speak again."
Are you still willing to help me?"
Sword Saint Athanasius suddenly slapped Sakzi and said, "Okay, if you die, you still need someone to collect your body, so I'll do it!"
”Amon smiled: "I never thought I could save everyone, I only cared about the people close to me, so it was never this city that I helped.I'm just helping you, Your Majesty. ”After a pause, he added, "However, I still have two questions?
”Sakzi: "Please?"
”"First, what is this battle of gods for?
Or why did the one above you go to great lengths to enter this plane and preach for it?
”Sakqi shrugged his shoulders slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Why do you think that I will know the secrets and thoughts of this true god?"
”Amon: "Well, you don't know. ”His Majesty seemed helpless: "Even the above ones, no one will tell me explicitly, it is just what I have seen, thought, and even summarized from books and various sources.Among them, there are indeed many things that are already set in stone, and some of them are my conjectures and additions.And why do you think the one above me is going through a lot of trouble?
”Amon wondered: "This is a more than twenty-year-long arrangement, and such a complicated gamble, isn't it?"
”Sak Qi smiled under the crown: "That's from your point of view, it's the vision of mortals, but for the gods, time, they are never lacking, the elect, as long as they are willing to give some divine power and attention, they can have as much as they want."
The so-called gambling game, they can arrange thousands of them with a wave of their hands, and these, as long as there is one success, that is the harvest, a good harvest!
”Amon was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what he said made sense, this was indeed because he was not standing at enough height, and he took it for granted.After a pause, he asked a second question: "Although you are well disguised, I can see that you don't seem to be a devout believer in the true God?!"
”Amon was a little cautious when he said this, after all, questioning the piety of a voter, even if it was a good relationship, could turn his face.It's just that what Amon didn't expect was that His Majesty Sakqi replied very simply: "I'm not!"
”As soon as these words came out, not to mention Amon, even the sword saint Athanasius looked at his old friend with a shocked expression: "What are you talking about?"
”Sakqi looked at his old friend amusedly, then at Amun, and repeated seriously: "I am not a devout disciple of Zertus, the god of power and prestige!"
