"Okay~ okay~ My little friend, I didn't expect you to be so interested in this news.
Although it is said that prematurely revealing these core information to you, who are still growing, goes against the will of the great source, there is no other way. Who asked me to take advantage of you?
Haha~
Gods...
Gods...
How to say~
First we need to identify a few concepts that must be understood.
First, God does exist;
Second, God is not eternal, but immortal;
Third, God’s power is not infinite.
The first point is easy to understand, and can be fully proved from the countless miracles, divine descendants, and the deeds of God's chosen people and God's spokespersons.
Second point, this is an important point. We say that true eternity is only the four great sources. Apart from this, other things have no eternity~
The reason why the gods are said to be immortal lies in their power
My little friend, do you know why the gods are called gods?"
"Because they are more powerful than other life forms?" Regarding the issue of gods, Liu Yifei's understanding is really limited. After all, there is no mention of gods in the background of the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Liu Yifei used to
Hearing what other NPCs said about the Lord of Darkness and the like, he thought it was just a formal statement. It was only today that he was really sure of the existence of the gods. How could he say something as powerful as the previous one?
Insightful remarks?
"Haha, it's a very flattering answer, but it's still correct~
The reason why they surpass all living things is because their power has completely surpassed the way of absorbing and dispersing various forces, and has become a direct occupation of the 'source of power'
After occupying the 'power source', they themselves become like a small power source. Under the stimulation of this power source, the same nature of power can not only be continuously restored and replenished in their bodies, but also can be replenished all the time.
Constantly growing
They also have their own name for this 'source of power', which is generally called 'godhead'
In other words, the biggest difference between gods and mortals lies in two points. First, they possess godhead (source of power), and second, their power is the same as the real source of power, which is increasing every moment. It is far more powerful than ours.
Through exercise, the method of continuously expanding the body's "volume" and then absorbing more stray power is much more advanced and efficient...
There have been fundamental differences based on the way they control power, which has directly contributed to the irreconcilable contradictions and never-ending wars between the gods because..."
"To seize more sources of power." After hearing what Toradre said, if Liu Yifei still couldn't guess the reason why the gods fought against each other, then he might as well go back and slowly fight monsters like ordinary players.
Already~
"That's a good answer~ The reason for the constant war between them is indeed that they want to snatch each other's source of power.
In fact, starting from our own situation, we can roughly guess how difficult it is to occupy the source of power.
As our exercise continues to improve, you will find that the growth of strength is getting slower and slower. This is because after our body is immersed in a certain strength for a long time, it will resist the adsorption of more stray forces and want to offset it.
This kind of resistance requires us to work twice as hard
This is why you adventurers feel that the so-called level improvement is getting slower and slower~ The higher the level, the more obvious the resistance reaction will be if you want to move towards a higher level.
And if you choose to give up the original strength system at this time and change a new route, you will find that the strong resistance is gone and the improvement of strength becomes simple and fast~
However, this kind of approach that does not strive for improvement but is greedy for complexity will only harm yourself in the end because it is absolutely impossible to succeed in all aspects.
Even with the power of the gods, they are only infinitely powerful in one aspect, that is, the kind of power they have the 'power source'. As the power source continues to increase, as for other aspects, that is
Like more ordinary beings, they need to rely on exercise to improve their strength. Compared with ordinary life forms, they do not have an advantage in these aspects. It is just that their infinite life gives them more time and opportunities to exercise~
This is also true, so new gods often fall easily, while some veteran gods become stronger and stronger.
Not only do the new gods not go far enough on the road of 'source of power', they are even inferior to some outstanding ordinary life forms in other aspects. As long as they can find a way to suppress the opponent's source of power, killing gods is not impossible."
"Wait a minute~ Wait a minute~ Can the source of power also be suppressed in some way?"
"Of course~ Compared with the real four major sources and the eight major secondary sources, the little bit occupied by the gods is insignificant~ Even if they have some privileges, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the real source rules.
For example, some minor gods in the natural system, their power source is not even the source of 'life force', but just some secondary differentiated power sources such as 'regeneration' and 'healing', etc.
As long as you find a way to infiltrate the target into the space plane where the power of death is extremely powerful, the opponent's power will be greatly suppressed.
Even if there is a split of the source of 'power of death' in this space, the opponent's 'secondary power source' will be absorbed or dispelled.
In this way, even if this target still has powerful force or amazing magic power, he can no longer be called a god. In front of a god who has lost his divine power, some ordinary existences are even more terrifying~
Of course, this method will also harm the opponent's source of power. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one wants to do such a thankless thing. More often than not, whether it is a god-killer or a hostile god, they
They all hope to embezzle and absorb the opponent's power by destroying the opponent, so that they can have more sources of power and their strength will grow faster~
From our point of view, it may be too unbelievable to launch endless wars for such a simple reason~ But mortals who have not experienced the powerful "source of power" simply cannot imagine that kind of temptation~
After possessing even a little bit of godhead (power source), you can experience the feeling of power growing all the time, and it becomes natural to want more~
This is also the reason why the gods have transcended ordinary living beings and become desireless, but they are not immune to the 'source of power'.
Power is the essence of what they pursue~
The existence of the source of power is the reason for their immortality
With the source of power, they are gods. The infinite growth of power makes their consciousness never disappear or perish, making them immortal; without the source of power, they are not gods, but another individual who has obtained the same source of power.
Inherit the name of God and continue to be immortal. Those who lose their godhead will be mercilessly devoured by the rules of time and turn into ashes in an instant~
Therefore, their individuals are not eternal, but their power is immortal...
Then, let us talk about the classification of gods
Yes, although they are collectively called gods, there is a huge difference between gods and gods.
The god who can occupy part of the eight secondary sources is the guy who has the eight aspects of life, death, time, space, light, darkness, soul, and elements. He is what we generally call the 'main god'.
Under the eight secondary sources, there are also more secondary sources. For example, after the power of the elements is divided, there are also the corresponding sources of the four well-known elements of earth, water, fire and wind, and we have mastered part of the 'source of wind'.
'The individuals are also gods, but compared with the main god, they are much weaker, because their power is also within the scope of the other party, and the main god's power covers much more than them.
Under the impetus of the war between gods, a rather special existence was born, which is what we call a 'false god'.
In order to cope with the endless wars between gods and gods that have an extremely wide scope, in addition to choosing corresponding favored tribes that can fight for themselves, gods also have to find ways to increase their 'helpers'
Therefore, they have mastered the method of temporarily 'giving' their own power source to other beings.
That’s right, such a guy is called a ‘false god’
The false god also has a source of power, but what is embarrassing is that this source of power is not separated from the real source of power through his own efforts, but is all given by a superior.
If others can give it, they can also find ways to take it back. Therefore, their only way is to obey the orders of the superiors and find ways to obtain their own godhead as quickly as possible, whether it is to understand and possess it, or to kill other gods to take it away.
'False Gods' People who want to become gods are often more eager than mortals.
Because they have experienced the effect of the 'source of power' in advance, but they are unable to truly possess this power. Although they are extremely powerful, they still have to take orders from others, which makes them annoyed and regretful. Therefore, these crazy guys sometimes can only
To calm the almost maddening mental torture through self-destruction
A common saying among the strong is - it is better to offend a true god than to block the path of a false god.
Generally speaking, false gods are created by the main god. They will give a small part of their power source, something like a secondary power source, to the chosen ones to increase the power of their subordinates. However,
But he firmly controls the eight secondary power sources
Ordinary gods possess a secondary source of power, so they rarely take the initiative to create false gods. This will not only greatly hinder the growth of their own power, but is also very unsafe~
Creating a false god of the same class, even if the other party is weaker than yourself, but it also gives the other party the possibility of successfully killing the god. Once you are trapped in a cocoon, the feeling is so torturous that it is indescribable~
Therefore, the false gods are mostly created by the main god, and their strength is not necessarily weaker than the real ordinary gods. This is their symbol, and once they betray their superiors, it is 100% certain that they will be deprived of their godhead."
"There are already main gods who occupy the eight secondary power sources and gods who occupy the secondary power sources, but... is it possible that a more powerful god who occupies the four major power sources will appear?" After listening to this,
With so many secrets between gods, Liu Yifei's brain was actively mobilized. Completely subconsciously, he asked this question that he desperately wanted to know.
"Well... Theoretically speaking, this may indeed exist, but in fact there has not yet been such a great existence. Those who can occupy the four initial sources of power may have exceeded the category of main gods and become
He has become the so-called God King...
However, it is precisely because of this fantasy that the war between the main gods is extremely fierce, and the flames of war have permeated all the main gods of the eight series.
At the same time, this is why the elves and ghosts cannot truly coexist peacefully.
Because of the existence of the will of the gods...
The high-ranking people of the two tribes have the idea of peace, but we are not the real decision-makers of the fate of our tribe. Above us, the gods we believe in determine that it is impossible for us to live in peace~
Let’s use the main gods of the two major series of life and death as examples.
Some gods are illusory. Even if they have already understood the nature of power, they are still used to deceiving themselves and others. In their eyes, as long as they find a way to completely eliminate the existence of opposing forces, some changes may occur~
For example, the god of the life system wants to eliminate all existences that enjoy the power of death, from the lowest creatures to the opposing Lord God of Death, and even crush the source of the power of death together.
In this way, they felt that the process of the eternal power splitting into two was reversed. From then on, the eternal power was no longer divided, and all the new eternal powers derived had only one place to go, and that was the life camp.
From this point of view, the secondary power source they possess is equivalent to indirectly growing into the initial power source...
Although this assumption is completely meaningless and almost impossible to realize, you have to say that after countless years of fruitless pursuit of stronger power, it may indeed drive even the gods crazy.
After I don't know which great being came up with this almost absurd idea, some gods actually agreed with this idea. As a result, a divine war broke out between two systems of gods with the same origin but different species.
Of course, more often than not, gods would rather believe in another possibility, which is to follow the example of elemental life forms and seek to merge the source of power from the same origin and alien species with their own.
For example, the main god who has the source of the power of death will want to hunt down the main god who has the source of the power of life. Once the two power sources merge, it is very likely that the source of eternal power will be born. This idea is overwhelmingly rejected.
Most gods approve~
It is a pity that from the beginning to the end, countless false gods and gods have fallen, but the great beings at the main god level have rarely perished. Even if they do, it is often due to sneak attacks or conspiracies from other main gods in the same camp. After all, and
Contact between main gods of different camps is too dangerous, much less than contact with main gods of the same camp.
As a result, there has been no successful example of being promoted to God King...
Precisely because the desire for main gods from different series to devour each other is too strong, this has resulted in frequent racial wars between different series. Just like us and the elves, it is simply impossible to have peace.
~
Those guys above, except for their extremely persistent desire for their own power, have become indifferent to everything else. We are just pawns in their hands. It is impossible to fulfill their wishes and change...
..."
"So that's it... I didn't expect that just the issue of war or peace between the two clans would have so many implications. The situation is indeed very complicated..."
"Haha, little friend~ If that's all, then the situation would be simple, because there can only be an eternal war between the two races.
In fact, the actual situation is much more complicated than what I told you
Even gods, their power is not pure and unique, so what about us? Do you still remember what I told you at the beginning? The existence of each race involves more than just one kind of power.
What I tell you below are all my assumptions after gaining a certain understanding of the nature of power over the years. I have not communicated with other people, so it may not be correct. It can only be regarded as a rough inference. Therefore
You don’t need to delve into right and wrong, just roughly understand my thinking.
The secondary power is too complicated, so I am going to use the eight secondary powers to summarize it~
In my opinion, the elves, dwarves, trees, and dragons among the elves are all long-lived races. It is obvious that their tribe is favored by the power of life, but the elves generally love peace and yearn for kindness, so it is obvious that
They are also the beneficiaries of the power of light, and their long lives give the elves a long time to forge powerful souls, so this clan should also share more of the power of time and soul power.
Look at our ghost clan again.
There is no doubt that the basis of all existence is the power of death. At the same time, what does near-immortal life give us? Infinite time
The superiors of the ghost clan all possess powerful powers and souls. Most of the time, we prefer dark environments.
Therefore, in addition to the power of death, we are obviously inextricably linked to the three forces of darkness, soul, and time.
Can you understand this explanation?"
"That is to say...power is pure, but individual life cannot be perfectly pure. In this way, the entire race will share more power. Although there will be an obvious bias, it will also be
Affected by several other forces
In this way, the gods we believe in will not belong to a single camp, and the intricate relationships between the gods among the various camps will eventually be reflected in each race. They cannot be as direct and naked as the relationships between the gods?
Is that why there is such an awkward truce between us and the elves?" Liu Yifei said slowly, touching his chin.
"Exactly right"
"Then... may I ask what your Majesty's guess is about the power system of each race? What about the other six major races?"
"The human race is obviously dominated by the power of life, and then the power of light also accounts for a considerable proportion. After all, their monks, knights and angels are all staunch supporters of the light camp.
At the same time, humans are also a versatile race, because it seems that strong men in the element system, space system, and time system have all appeared in human history, and among humans there are extraordinary people who are more evil than demons, so darkness is also involved.
~As for the power of death...you have also seen that many of the necromancers are humans, not to mention~
Therefore, from my point of view, this human race seems to be the most complex and has infinite possibilities. It seems that the eight secondary powers have an inexplicable relationship with them~
The Hell clan is relatively simple. It is based on the power of life. At the same time, the secondary differentiated power of the elemental power-the power of fire is best reflected in hell. Almost every adult demon is a master of fire magic.
, in comparison, they are not very good at other elemental magics, so the power of fire should occupy a considerable proportion.
Then there is darkness and soul. These two powers should also be universal. In addition, we know that all the great demons are masters of space magic (their methods of action are teleportation, of course they are masters), which is already transcendent.
Beyond the scope of magic, it is more like their instinct or talent. Therefore, we can assume that the great demon clan in the demon camp seems to have some way to directly contact the source of the power of space.
In fact, except for our ghost tribe, almost the other seven tribes are the beneficiaries of the most essential power of life. The difference is that the dungeons yearn for darkness and elements, the barbarians yearn for souls and death, and the swamps are in space and
He has considerable attainments in the elements, and Tower is an absolute element controller and soul master.
Basically, this is my guess.
And from this point of view, in fact, among the eight tribes, except for our ghost tribe, the other seven tribes all have life systems based on the power of life. Only our ghost tribe is different~
From this point of view, it is natural that in the early days of the birth of the ghost race, we would be hostile and feared by all other races ~ because compared with other races, our foundation is a completely different 'foreign substance'
But precisely because we are the dependents of the power of death, all the gods who want to destroy the source of the power of death want to have a relationship with us, whether it is to eliminate them or to make us believe in them~
In short, we are a clan of death, and more importantly, a clan of war. Our nature determines that in any war in the world, we ghost clan will be unable to escape from the core of the whirlpool.
And because of this, some of the superiors among the ghost tribe yearn for peace more than any other race.
We should be a group of consciousnesses that silently taste the eternal philosophy of life and death in the dark, rather than being puppets holding swords to harvest life on the battlefield...
But I can’t help myself, maybe I’m talking about us~” In the end, a deep sigh expressed Toradre’s helplessness~
Perhaps, the ghost clan has indeed experienced too many wars, even to the extent that these tireless dead people feel tired and disgusted.
"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade..." Liu Yifei murmured.
"Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a treasure? Although I don't understand exactly what it means, but this feeling... seems to coincide with our thoughts...
Hahahaha~~~Okay, okay, let’s stop talking about these illusory things. If we continue talking, I’m afraid your time today will be wasted~
Look, it's obviously a good thing that you performed the mission perfectly and came back victorious, but because of talking about these things, the atmosphere is so heavy.
Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot again, I am so happy that you were reborn successfully and reached the second level with a perfect body. You must have understood the secret, right?
Yes, compared to those guys who are hurriedly thinking about rebirth, although you have put in much more hard work and time, the rewards are worth it. Remember this experience if you want to walk on the road of strength in the future.
If you go further, this is what you need to stick to~" Toradre said leisurely with a look of joy.
"Hey~~~ Do you... feel tired?" However, Liu Yifei was obviously not infected by the cheerfulness of the other party's deliberate change of topic. He still sat there a little heavy and lukewarm.
Jumped a sentence.
Liu Yifei's meaningless words made Toradre in the seat stunned for a moment. He didn't know what he meant specifically, so he had to say casually: "Yes~ in charge of a country, although the time is short, the pressure is still there."
It's indeed not light. Only now did I realize that in the days when I was simply pursuing the peak of my strength, my old friend Solna was actually under such heavy pressure. Originally, I should have chosen to share it with him.
....."
"No, no, no~~~ You have completely misunderstood me~ What I want to say is, do you feel tired when you try so hard to imitate the tone of that old vampire in Toradre?
"Liu Yifei suddenly raised his head and stared at "Toradre" in the upper hand position with gleaming eyes.
"You... Liu Yunqing, pay attention to the attitude of your words. Do you doubt that I am still a fake?"
Liu Yifei's words obviously shocked the other party. For a moment, Toradre was obviously stunned in his seat, and then he regained the calmness of a superior person and asked Liu Yifei unhurriedly.
However, that stunned movement was too obvious, so how could it escape Liu Yifei's eyes?
Seeing the other party's pretending to be calm, Liu Yifei became more and more sure of the guess he had hidden in his heart, so he showed a classic "innocent smile" and even turned on the camera function in the system operation without haste.
All kinds of secrets have been explored, so now it's time to talk about "extra compensation"~ The smile on Liu Yifei's face became more and more sincere...
