What was depicted in the mural?

What that provoked such coarse outbursts from the five brothers and the three socially awkward individuals?

The content was not complex; it could be summarized in a single sentence.

However, the narrative style of the mural leaned toward realism, even it was portrayed in an exaggerated way, causing an intense initial impact.

The twenty murals told a story about a great drought, the failure of crops, and a man futilely begging the gods he worshipped to provide food and water to save his dying daughter.

The man was a devoted priest of the gods. His spirit left his body, entered God1 s Country, and met the gods.

God’s Country was filled with fruitful trees, and the land flowed with milk and honey.

The gods were celebrating profusely, with all kinds of food and constant refills of various excellent wines.

The man suppressed his thirst, kowtowed earnestly in the most solemn rite.

He begged the Gods to provide food and water to save his daughter and all the believers in the world.

Surprisingly, the gods who were all-merciful in the covenant not only remained unmoved and ignored the man’s plea but coldly said: “You should know, suffering for your gods is your sole duty. Besides death, your faith and prayers will gain you nothing.”

In the eyes of the gods, so-called loyal faith is nothing.

The believers are like chives in the field.

As long as the gods hold the throne, they will continually receive one group of believers after another.

The man was mocked and received nothing. He was kicked out of God’s Country by the gods and thrown back into the world.

The man’s daughter curled up in his arms and died in agony due to thirst and hunger.

The man was overwhelmed with immense pain and anger.

His tears could not flow.

The water in the man’s body was almost dried up.

After burying his daughter, the man resolutely abandoned his once firm faith and spurned the emblem of the gods, which he once treasured.

All the resentment from the believers who had prayed to the gods but received no grace or response before their death, and had abandoned their faith in the gods, gathered at the man and the emblem of the gods under his foot.

Then, a miraculous change occurred.

The man obtained supreme power from darkness.

The spurned emblem of gods turned into a God Killer Sword, recognizing the man as its master.

The man took up the God Killer Sword and rushed into God’s Country without hesitation.

After a bitter battle, the man killed the gods who could save the believers but chose to ignore the deaths and sufferings of his followers due to hunger and thirst.

Since then, the man became the God’s Judge.

Any god who ignored the believers’ pleas and had the ability but didn’t, were categorized by the man as the Evil Gods and were removed one by one.

How could such rebellious behavior by a mere mortal be tolerated by the high and mighty gods?

A protracted war broke out and lasted for thousands of years without stopping.

Many gods fell, and the man also died.

Every human being in the world died in the war.

The essence of the world was severely damaged and on the verge of destruction.

Summarized in one sentence, the gods committed evil deeds, and the world suffered the consequences.

What was the breaking point that upset the five brothers and the three socially awkward individuals?

Even a dog owner feeds his dog bones.

If a higher being (the gods) utterly ignores the plea of the lower beings (the believers) and is stingy with even the most effortless response or grace, who should die if not him?

In the Wizard World, such a higher being would have been overthrown and killed early on.

Even the essence of the world is not entirely innocent.

It could produce such gods, and the brink of destruction seems to be a justified price.

After viewing the mural, outspoken Buck couldn’t help but comment, “We are supposed to save this world? It’s better to destroy it!”

The other four brothers and the three socially awkward individuals didn ‘t necessarily completely agree with Buck’s view, but no one spoke out against it. Obviously, they couldn’t find a reason to save this world at the moment.

Link had a different perspective.

He was merely shocked by the content of the mural and did not entirely believe

Whether the mural records real history, mythology, or real but exaggerated history, is still uncertain.

It’s hard to trust one-sided stories.

The same story, from the gods’ perspective, could be told as the believers having insatiable desires.

The world resources or the resources that the gods possess might have already been exhausted from previous gifts and responses.

Believers who’ve earned nothing began to kill the gods out of anger, and this also makes sense.

Of course, this story is pure speculation from Link, which he dared not say out loud.

Considering the enmity between the Wizard World and the World of God.

The Academy arranging this small world, which seemed on the brink of destruction due to the evil deeds of the gods, as the venue for the competition between two districts,

Targeting to guide the Wizard Apprentice to dislike the gods and the World of

God is entirely understandable.

It’s also possible that the Academy exaggerated the mural content.

Link suspects that in this small world, there are many places like the Mid-river Sandbar that contain pieces describing why this world is on the verge of destruction.

In this way, the Academy can let more wizard apprentices learn about the history of this world on the verge of destruction, which is the background of the task,

As well as the original sin of the gods.

They guide wizard apprentices’ thoughts, making them disgusted, disdained, and hateful towards the gods, the system of the gods, and the World of God.

Setting aside those irrelevant elements, Link began to ponder the insights and implications that the content of the mural brought.

There are three main tasks, l”Choosing factions” has already been completed, 2″Faction confrontation” and 3″Save the world” are ongoing.

There are seven subtasks, task i”Investigate the truth about the world’s decline”, if the mural content is accurate, then this task can be declared completed;
