"laugh!"
"laugh!"
In the endless sky, two streams of light flew past one after another at high speed, approaching bit by bit towards the other end of the horizon.
Luo Zhen, with bright fire powder sprinkled all over his body and the dark feathers rustling in the wind, flew forward while looking at the earth below.
There, ant-like monsters are distributed in every corner of the earth, but they are densely packed and active in groups.
Looking at such a scene, anyone would feel that the land of this era has been occupied by monsters.
Human beings, on the other hand, didn't even see a single shadow.
On the contrary, it was cities. Luo Zhen had seen several of them along the way, but without exception, they had all been destroyed and turned into ruins. There was no life at all. There were only monsters moving around in them. They looked like... It's like the end of the world, terrifying.
Luo Zhen confirmed this situation and was thoughtful in his heart.
At this time...
"It's really surprising. You are obviously a human, but you are able to fly at a speed that keeps up with me. This is the first time I have seen a human like you."
Hearing such words that sounded like emotion and admiration, Luo Zhen came back to his senses and looked to his side.
I saw that Enkidu was bathing in the wind, flying in tandem with Luo Zhen, looking here with eyes full of admiration.
Luo Zhen smiled back.
"Is this surprising?" Luo Zhen said casually: "In the Age of Gods, this level should be nothing, right?"
After all, this era is the beginning of human history where anything is possible, the last era of fantasy for mankind, and any mysterious appearance is not surprising.
Therefore, Luo Zhen really thinks that this level should not be surprising.
However, Luo Zhentai took it for granted.
"Indeed, this is an era where it is not surprising even if gods suddenly come and cause a commotion on the earth, but that is limited to gods. Humans are humans after all. If they want to touch the realm of gods and fly freely in the sky, That's not allowed."
Enkidu tells this story.
"Generally speaking, in this era, those who can master the mysteries are those who have a direct relationship with the gods. For example, witches and priests can obtain the knowledge of using magic from the gods. The witch chief of Uruk used The ability to do astrology is also obtained from the gods, and then half-human and half-god beings like Gilgamesh can be born with power. Otherwise, even in the Age of Gods, humans can still only kill enemies with weapons. It’s just strength.”
In this era, although the mystery is not as weak as in modern times, it is still only in the hands of some people.
Therefore, most humans are still very ordinary humans, and Enkidu just wants to say this.
"Although I don't know what the future will be like, to me, it is incredible that there are human beings like you soaring in the sky like gods." Enkiduran said meaningfully: " However, perhaps it is because of your special characteristics that you can become the last master of mankind. In order to save humanity, go all the way to this era."
Enkidu seemed to have a high opinion of Luo Zhen, and he didn't know if he could see that the reason why Luo Zhen could soar in the sky like this was because of the magic tool transformed from the golden crow on his body.
As a weapon of God, leaving aside the Jade Rabbit, as for the Golden Crow, Enkidu should still be somewhat aware of its existence, right
In this case, Luo Zhen's ability to fly like this is actually the same as Enkidu said, because of his direct relationship with God.
Of course, Luo Zhen can also fly himself, but since he has the Golden Crow to do it for him, there is no need to waste his magic power in vain.
Thinking so, Luo Zhen shook his head.
"You'd better tell me about this era first." Luo Zhen said to Enkidu: "This era should be encountering a very bad crisis, right?"
"Yes." Enkidu became serious, turned his eyes back to the front, looked at the horizon, and said: "Mesopotamia is indeed on the verge of destruction. Nearly 80% of the fortress cities have been destroyed. Destruction, those who survived either did not know the current situation, or they were all crowded in Urukri to fight against the approaching destruction."
So, what is the source of destruction
Very simple.
"god."
Enkidu spoke in an extremely calm tone.
"Three goddesses appeared on the earth and attempted to destroy mankind. They also took away 60% of Mesopotamia."
Hearing this, Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes.
"God?" Luo Zhen said to Enkidu: "Although this era is indeed the age of the gods, if I remember correctly, starting from this era, the gods and humans have already said goodbye, and the gods should gradually leave. It’s on the surface of the earth. Even so, are there still gods?”
"Yes." Enkidu said without hesitation: "Gods are everywhere, and they will not easily let go of humans who disobey them. In addition, they are moody and have brought countless disasters to the earth in the past. Because of this, Gilgamesh, as the "Wedge of Heaven", began to hate the misbehavior of gods. He believed that humans did not need gods, and there was no room for gods to intervene in his rule, so he declared farewell to gods, as if they were separated. Heaven and earth are alike, separating the worlds of man and God.”
At this point, Enkidu added another sentence.
"That's what I say, but this era is just a declaration of farewell to the gods. The reason why the age of gods declined is that the bigger reason lies earlier, right?"
These words made Luo Zhen confused.
"Earlier?"
Luo Zhen grunted.
"exactly."
Enkidu agreed as he began to elaborate.
"The main reason for the demise of the Age of Gods is that it went through three stages."
"One is recession."
"One is farewell."
"One is an opportunity."
"The opportunity has not yet come, but from your description, we can know that it should have happened in a certain era, which caused the gods after the AD to completely disappear. For now, it is still something that will happen in the future. .”
"The decline occurred about 10,000 years ago, when the prehistoric mythological civilization created by humans faced a terrible disaster."
When such words came from Enkidu's mouth, Luo Zhen suddenly felt it.
He felt that the breath and magic power of a servant beside him, who was fused with his soul, were disordered.
Luo Zhen couldn't help but be startled.
However, before Luo Zhen could react, Enkidu's explanation continued to come.
"It is said that human civilization at that time was extremely prosperous, and gods existed in the world as natural spirits. They did not even have clear divinity and godhead like they do now. They were integrated and quite ancient in nature, equivalent to that of all the gods today. Original form.”
"That era was when the civilization of the planet was at its most prosperous, and it was also when the Age of Gods was at its most prosperous. Both humans and gods were far more powerful and meaningful than they are now, far beyond what can be imagined in current human history."
"Until one day, a great disaster suddenly struck, and both human civilization and gods were destroyed and disappeared from the earth."
"From that time on, the mystery of the earth seemed to have been invaded and absorbed, and it experienced extreme decline. Only then did we have a new human history, a new civilization, and gods with a clearer division of labor."
Enkidu's explanation made Luo Zhen clearly feel that the emotions of the servants around him were very unstable.
This made Luo Zhen frown and became silent.
