Pasha was stunned, and then said in a surprised tone, "It seems that Phyllis is right, you really know a lot about us. As for the divine will, we only got it after the fall of Taquila. I understand. This news shouldn't have been told to you by Agatha."
"Don't forget, the church was defeated in my hands." Roland crossed his hands to cover his chin, pretending to be lofty, "Those witches who once held administrative duties in the Holy City of Hermes are now imprisoned in nowhere. In Winter City."
"I see… "
Pasha was silent for a long time, as if she was looking at him quietly. Even if she couldn't see her eyes, Roland could feel the physical scrutiny. After a long time, her consciousness reappeared in her mind, "It's not impossible if you want to know what God's will is, but please keep this secret in your heart and don't spread it out. The same goes for everyone here, when you want to chase When it comes to guarding something that is invisible and intangible, it will not be so easy to fall into despair. But when it becomes tangible, the psychological pressure will increase greatly. If it leaks out, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the third battle of divine will. ”
After confirming with the witches with his eyes, Roland asked in a deep voice, "So divine will is a tangible thing?"
"That's right, it's like a clear God's Retaliation Stone, with a sharp spindle shape, but it doesn't hinder the magic power, and it has no special effect." Pasha slowed down her speech, as if she was reminiscing while speaking. , "But as long as you open your heart around it, you can really feel the call of the gods and see some incredible sights."
"What kind of sight?"
"An infinitely wide hall, the red moon hanging high above the head, and four incomparably huge standing paintings. It's just that the scenes in the paintings are fresh and changing at any time..." The ancient witch detailed the illusion generated by divine will. described.
"What exactly do those scenes represent?" Tilly couldn't help asking.
Everyone held their breath as she asked her question.
"This question has been plaguing people for nearly a thousand years, and the exploration team struggled to find an answer. We did not confirm this until the documents in the ruins of the labyrinth were deciphered." All the tentacles on Pasha's body rose, "The god showed It was given to us by humans, devils, unknown enemies, and underground civilizations - the shape of divine will also confirms this, it is not a complete vertebral body, but a quarter cut, so we call it A relic of God."
"Four giant paintings, a quarter of the relic..." Roland frowned, "Do you mean that every civilization displayed in the giant painting has a piece of this kind of relic?"
"Not everyone, the underground civilization has lost its divine will." Pasha's answer made the participants feel horrified, "One of the giant paintings fell into eternal darkness, and the time happened to be the first divine will war. Shortly after the end. Based on the self-report in the literature and the comparison of the records handed down by the Federation, we made such a conjecture - it has been permanently removed from the War of Divine Will."
Doesn't this mean that the war that has lasted for hundreds of years is to compete for the relics in the other's hands, and losing one's own relics is equivalent to losing everything
Roland's brows furrowed deeper, which is really not good news. Compared with those unknown opponents, he cares more about who arranged all this, is it accidental or inevitable? Random choice or doomed fate? What is the purpose of leaving a relic? Does it have something to do with the periodic red moon? And most importantly, must the survivors' understanding be correct? A series of questions popped up in his mind, and at the same time he felt that he had caught something...
Put aside the word god, and replace it with other titles
Just as he was pondering, Tilly asked, "If we collect all the four relics into our hands, what will happen? Didn't the gods ever give any hints?"
"No one knows the answer, and the gods have never answered our call." Pasha said calmly, "God does not love the world, he only cares for the victors."
"How could this be... Because of a stone that doesn't know what to do, they have been fighting each other for hundreds of years?" Wendy showed an unacceptable expression, "God's will is... too ruthless!"
"Perhaps, there is a passage in the literature that is very difficult to understand, but it may explain your doubts," the ancient witch reassured, "We are all children of the gods, but only a few can usher in the dawn, from those who perceive magic From the moment, it is doomed to be extraordinary in this life. This competition is long-lasting, and it is one in a thousand to be able to get to this point. Birds were not originally birds, and we were not originally us. "
Roland's mind was like a flash of lightning!
"What was that sentence you said earlier?" he interrupted almost roughly.
"We are all children of the gods?"
"No, one more sentence."
"This competition has been going on for a long time, and it is a one in a thousand to get to this point." It was the scroll that answered him, "I wrote it down, Your Majesty."
What does this statement look like
It's like a long evolutionary road! From ignorance to civilization, all species that can survive have eliminated countless competitors. The description of underground civilization coincides with this process!
Thinking about it carefully, these four civilizations seem to be different, but they have one very obvious thing in common, that is, they can use magic power!
Among human beings, witches who can condense magic power, devils and those who are eliminated have higher attainments. If nothing else, another unknown opponent should also have the ability to manipulate magic power.
This is consistent with the original description - "We are all children of the gods", it should be all species with this extraordinary talent!
According to this line of thinking, the battle of divine will may not be to protect or compete for the heritage of the gods, but a means to accelerate evolution... Or, it is the rules of the magic world. Therefore, the underground civilization will have the feeling that the way to approach the gods is to climb the magic ladder.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Pasha's voice recalled in Roland's mind, "I sense your thoughts are a little confused."
"Oh? Can you see what I'm thinking?"
"It's only when you're going to talk to me with your mind that I can feel it accurately, like I'm doing to you now..." She paused, "Would you like to try it? That way the communication will be faster. a lot."
"Not yet," Roland shook his head with a smile, "I'm more used to expressing with my throat and tongue. As for confusion... I just thought of some interesting things, and it won't affect our negotiation, don't worry."
Having said that, there is no reason for such things as rules, and it is understandable to regard them as the handwriting of gods - just like the origin of life on Earth and the subsequent Cambrian explosion. The former was born between lightning and boiling water. Organic molecules collided, fused, and cracked, and finally formed a molecular chain with self-replication ability. Such a probability is close to impossible, equivalent to a gust of wind that swept up a lot of metal parts, and when they fell, it was as incredible as a Mercedes-Benz sports car.
The latter is a biological mystery. In that ocean where life is extremely monotonous, and basically only algae and soft worms exist, the calm that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years seems to have been broken overnight, and suddenly in a very short time A variety of animals have emerged, and their species are so numerous that they cover almost all the categories of the animal kingdom that follow. No matter how life evolves in the future, it will not be able to jump out of this frame.
It is these two drastic changes that make the subsequent evolution of species become vigorous. In the face of these incidents that are more accidental than chance, many people attribute the reasons to those indescribable existences, as if there is an invisible hand. With a slight push behind the back, everything developed into what people saw. In this weird and unfamiliar world, would this be the case for him as well
