It was a question that had puzzled Joshua for a long time.
In this world, there are many gods. The duties of gods are not the same, and their divine power has different functions because of these different duties.
Not to mention other gods, such as the seven gods of the human race, believers in the God of justice and power can get a series of magic tricks against evil and chaos. They also have the ability to forcibly counter or even seize the control of a magic trick. The priest of the God of love and decay can charm wild animals and even Warcraft, and they can communicate with the dead, Call the dead spirit to protect themselves.
It would be too complicated to narrate the others one by one. It was the different effects of divinity that made the gods respected by different places.
The northern Empire generally believed in the God of justice and power, and the God of protection and progress. Most of the Western Hills worshiped the God of law and freedom, and the God of order and destruction. Most of the mages in the eastern plains did not believe in gods. However, the belief in the God of wisdom and choice was tacitly accepted here, while in the far south, the belief in the God of wisdom and choice did not exist, The God of love and decline and the God of life are loved by the public.
But why do these gods sometimes repel each other or disagree?
Joshua knew that there was logic in the clergy and belief of these gods, and there was even a whole set of doctrines to explain the deep meaning of them. But clearly there were such simple and easy to understand examples as orcs and the God of war, why did the human gods make their own clergy so complicated?
Can't you really be insane?
When ogner heard the soldier's question, he was stunned for a moment.
It's really rare... There are soldiers who don't want to be gods. It's clear that they are the people who are most in pursuit of power. But this question is really to satisfy his curiosity.
"What an interesting guy."
The two headed giant could not help shaking his head. Unfortunately, time was running out. He thought with regret that otherwise, ogner would really like to have a chat with this human. But now, it's better to answer his question.
"Why is the priesthood inconsistent?"
After thinking about language, he said: "it really makes people who are not in touch with the existence of demigod wonder why some gods choose two seemingly conflicting clergy as their source of strength."
"It's actually a choice."
Looking at Joshua, the two headed giant said solemnly, "choose to be the embodiment of some kind of power, or to be an existence with divine power."
"What does that mean?"
Joshua frowned slightly. He caught a little feeling, but he was not sure. The soldier asked without hesitation, "what's the difference between the two?"
And O'Connor patiently explained, "I and the father of nature you've seen are two great examples."
"The father of nature's priesthood is nature and spirit. His power comes from the natural ecosystem and spirit civilization he breeds. His divinity and blessing will be applied to the whole nature for blessing. I think you should have seen this."
It is true that the last battle in irgana world, whether it is the protection of the father of nature or the light of qunsen sky, is to use the whole nature to bless. Joshua nodded slightly. It is true. Moreover, it seems that the evil god of natural disasters erodes the whole world and destroys all life and nature, which is exactly the nemesis of the father of nature, It's no wonder that the other party's attitude is so dignified, so they want to let Joshua and others leave with some elves.
"I'm not at all surprised that the father of nature fled the world in the battle at the end of the glorious era."
There is no contempt for the father of nature in the double headed giant's tone. His attitude is very calm: "because his self will is completely subject to the survival of" spirit civilization "and" natural ecology ". Only when these two conditions are met can he have self will. When the whole continent of mirov is on the verge of destruction, The instinct of the clergy will force him to leave the world with the elves and re develop the Elven civilization and nature, because he is the embodiment of nature and Elven civilization, and he can't go against the instinct of "self."
"And me."
At this point, he raised his hand with only four fingers and pointed to his old face: "I am the God of despair and fortune. My strength is not equal to that of the father of nature. My doctrine is to detect my own fortune from the tiny things, even despair. The two completely different powers of despair and fortune are tearing my will all the time, Fortunately, I have two heads, which can carry two kinds of powers
"- but because of this, two completely different forces enable you to remain independent."
Joshua nodded thoughtfully, and he began to understand this point: "war and orc civilization are only in the heads of orcs and war gods, while the seven human gods have their own ideas and wisdom, and cultivate different civilizations in different ways...""Despair has completely turned into nothingness, and I'm the only one left."
With a little smile, although the smile on ogner's face can only be said to be terrifying, but the two headed giant did not care about this. He said with a smile of emotion: "in fact, the gap between the two is very big. As long as there are elves and nature in the world, even if the father of nature dies, he will be able to wake up one day, of course, The premise is that there is no new God of nature - and if I fall, then even if the civilization of ogle still exists, I will never be revived because of the happenings of luck and despair. At most, I will wake up for a short time, and then return to extinction. "
At the same time, in the white crystal cover, the black box had been completely smashed into a pool of broken black dust.
The box of erebos will never emit a black fog again. As saya speculated, the remaining imprint of the God of despair and fortune has been passed away for thousands of years. In addition, he was originally incomplete, but now he is helpless and weak. In a short time, he will disappear completely.
"Any questions?"
The two headed giant doesn't care about his disappearance. He is satisfied, even if he completely turns into nothingness. Magna calmly asks Joshua, "if you want to become a God, I will tell you. Although time is not enough, I can tell you how to cultivate the divinity you want."
At this point, he shook his head again and said with a smile, "Oh, no, you already have a little divinity. It's much easier."
The soldier, however, shook his head.
"No need."
