Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 662: Exploration

"Professor Snubir is a top scholar studying the era of the gods and the prehistoric era. He once wrote a book titled 'Prehistoric Era and the Origin of Gods,' which includes several speculations about the birth of the gods."

Monica looked at the relief in front of her and said:

"Among them is the idea of tribal totems and ancestor worship, but unfortunately, there has never been any evidence to prove his hypothesis."

"Now..."

"If these things really are from the prehistoric era, perhaps they can."

"I've read that book." Blaze shook his head:

"There's no denying Professor Snubir's achievements in literature and history, but that book is full of all sorts of imagination, even mentioning aliens, mysticism, Star Realm creatures, and so on. It simply isn't a serious historical document."

Monica smiled but didn't speak.

If an ordinary person had written the book, she too would probably dismiss it as full of wild imaginings and without value.

But as far as she knew, that professor was a strong Transcendent with Third Tier Extraordinary Power.

Under the restrictions of the Gods' Laws, the lifespan of a Transcendent isn't much different from that of an ordinary person, even at the Third Tier.

But Professor Snubir lived to nearly three hundred years.

A miracle worthy of attention!

"I've read that book as well."

Barro's expression was serious, as a member of the Night Watcher Organization, knowledge of mysticism is a required course.

"Among the speculations about the birth of the gods, the professor believed that the possibility of them migrating from the Outer Domain is greater than being born locally."

"But if the relief in front of us truly originated from prehistoric times, then the gods are very likely to have been born locally."

Blaze was at a loss for words.

Can you really believe in such things?

......

"Ancient beings with intelligence feared thunder and fire, storms, and waves, and with sincere hearts, they bowed in supplication. The formless fluctuations of spiritual power, under the influence of Extraordinary Power, solidified into entities, thus forming the most primitive gods."

At this moment, Carl was flipping through the book 'Prehistoric Era and the Origin of Gods,' his eyes flickering from time to time:

"Such Divines are also called tribal totems."

"Totems have their own symbolic patterns; by drawing the totem's image, calling out its name, one can communicate with it."

"Hmm..."

"That's quite similar to Divines."

Carl is a God.

He has his dedicated Tai Chi pattern, and as long as someone draws the pattern and calls upon the Master of Essence, he can hear it.

"Spirits of the ancestors, carried on through bloodline inheritance, have names and symbols, summoning the soul of the ancestors."

"In tribal warfare, the strong win, and the weak submit. A powerful tribe devours a weaker one, and the totem of the victorious tribe receives worship from more beings, gradually growing stronger until it holds divine authority."

"The spirits of the ancestors are similar."

"A leader of one family rules a nation, called King or Emperor, and their ancestor who first ignited the Divine Fire becomes a Divine."

...

Carl closed the book, lost in thought.

One must admit, although the book is full of speculation, it is very reasonable, and it has provided Carl with insights.

For instance,

why, even with endless lifespans, do the gods always think of devouring other Divines?

Throughout the countless millennia of this world's history, the gods have always been fighting and slaughtering, never pausing.

Fundamentally, it's because they were born by devouring other faith-holding beings to begin with.

Devouring and evolving are instincts.

Also,

why does 'human' resemble God so much?

Divines from both worlds have once brought about world-ending events, wiping out nearly all life, and created races that only knew to worship them, yet, in the end, the Human Clan was born and has continued to this day.

Because...

The Divines were very likely once formed from humans, such as ancestral spirits, inherently accustomed to human faith.

No matter how many times they destroy the world, in the end, it returns to its original form, which is the human race.

"However!"

"Once reaching the Seventh Tier, everything changes."

Carl's eyes were serious:

"The Seventh Tier Main Gods almost no longer need human faith, but instead pursue their own path."

"Prehistoric period?"

"Although the powers of the original Divines were insufficient at that time, they already possessed the special abilities of Divines."

"Which means..."

"Fourth Tier!"

In this world, besides Angel Remiller from the era of the gods still surviving, he hasn't seen any other Fourth Tier creatures.

Barro and Monica cautiously explored forward.

They are Transcendents and are aware that apart from ordinary people, there is a 'mystical circle' in this world.

And within this circle, Divines are undoubtedly the most powerful entities.

Gods,

are equally mysterious in the eyes of Transcendents.

All Transcendents know that their powers are largely connected to Divines, and that Divines will return one day.

"There are generally three ways to obtain Extraordinary Ability."

Monica murmured, her voice echoing in Barro's ears, yet Blaze couldn't hear a single sound:

"Cultivation, bloodline inheritance, contact with Extraordinary Items."

"You have cultivated the Knight Path, haven't you?"

"Yes," Barro nodded:

"The Night Watcher Organization has a complete Magic Door for Knight Path cultivation, supposedly it allows one to reach the Fourth Tier, but no one has ever achieved that stage."

The Third Tier Knight is also known as the Taboo Knight, and one must perform an act of deicide to become a Fourth Tier Knight.

Deicide?

There have long been no gods in this world.

As for Wizards...

This Magic Door highly depends on talent, and even the Night Watcher Organization holds few, and its combat prowess is not strong.

Wizards excel in comprehensiveness, not suited for actual combat.

Especially stepping into tiers for Wizards, because they cannot sense the Star Realm, their means are extremely weak.

The 'Black Wizards' of the Temple of Gods are an exception.

"Cultivation is difficult; without talent, achieving anything is nearly impossible." Monica nodded:

"But contacting Extraordinary Items is much easier."

"As long as the time of contact with an Extraordinary Item is long enough, one can grasp the abilities carried by the Extraordinary Item, or even directly devour it."

"Do you know where Extraordinary Items come from?"

"..." Barro pursed his lips:

"Gods?"

"Exactly!" Monica nodded:

"When the gods fell, the power of the Divines scattered across this land, merging with various items."

"Thus came Extraordinary Items and Transcendents."

"I see!" Barro realized:

"No wonder people of the Temple of Gods are always collecting Extraordinary Items, they want to resurrect gods through this means?"

"Exactly!" Monica smiled slightly:

"But unfortunately, even among the upper echelons of the Temple of Gods, few truly desire to resurrect the Divines."

"They prefer to use the power of the Divines for themselves!"

Barro nodded knowingly:

"And what about bloodline inheritance?"

"Blood Alliance!"

Monica's gaze narrowed:

"The people of the Blood Alliance obtain Extraordinary Power through bloodline inheritance."

"Crack!"

As the two were conversing, a worker in the mining area behind them inadvertently stepped on something, making a crisp sound.

"Be careful."

Blaze turned back:

"Watch your step."

"Yes."

"..."

"Wait a minute!" Monica tilted her head, her ears gently fluttering, then her facial expression changed dramatically:

"Run!"
