Like the west continent, the east continent is a country of human beings. Long ago, there were gods walking on it, spreading miracles and establishing beliefs.
But different from the west, most of the people in the East believed in ancestral gods, that is, gods that had blood ties with them.
In fact, there has been a saying that human beings are descendants of gods since ancient times, and there are also books in the western continent, which can be seen from the fact that many gods are human forms.
Besides, Yan Chong also learned from the book "Legend of the protoss" that the ordinary people in the western continent are indeed the descendants of the gods, but their blood has been extremely thin, and only the protoss can be regarded as the direct descendants of the gods.
The same is true of the eastern continent, which is no better than the western continent.
Moreover, human form does not represent race. It is related to human race. High level Warcraft can be transformed into form, and gods can easily do it.
Therefore, the belief in gods in the western continent is generally out of clergy, and they don't care much about the real blood race of gods. Basically, there is no problem with the order camp. Although there is no harmony between churches, they are not as good as the cult believers, and then everyone shouts.
Although the eastern mainland also pays attention to the clergy of the gods, it pays more attention to the blood. Even though its own blood is extremely weak and has nothing to do with it, it will worship its ancestors.
This kind of belief is not like the way of worshiping in the church in the western continent. Instead, it is a formal worship at the time of ancestor worship every year.
As for which gods are their ancestors, we can naturally verify them through some historical books and biographies. Although it can not be said that they are absolutely accurate, the tradition of generations has been handed down, and few people will be more serious about it.
In fact, many believers in the East and the West did not have a strong desire for business because of the fact that their belief spread to the mainland ten thousand years later.
Generally, if you feel useful, just believe it and recite the prayer. If you don't feel useful, just put it aside. Although it's not as blasphemous as the arcane, it's more indifferent.
In the final analysis, it is the cultural differences between the two continents.
However, in this time of demon invasion, the ancestors of human beings in the east continent did not save them. Yan Chong did not think about it carefully before, but after communicating with the goddess of glory, he also had a vague guess.
It is possible that many of the ancestral gods believed in by human beings in the eastern continent are in a state of emptiness.
Even many so-called ancestral gods are indeed the ancestors of many people, but the other side only left some epic legends, which did not really reach the level of gods.
It doesn't mean that belief can't be established if people don't reach the level of deity. All the legends left on the earth can establish religion, not to mention the endless continent, but this kind of ancestor god can't really enjoy the benefits brought by belief.
Moreover, some ancestral gods are said to have indeed ascended into the divine world.
The territory of the divine realm is very broad, not all of them are gods.
Not to mention the legendary Warcraft, in the kingdom of God, there are gods, officials, servants, descendants, devout believers, ordinary people and so on.
In the open area of the divine world, there are also some human groups living alone. Yan Chong's separation into the divine world not long ago did not meet, but there must be some.
Because there is also an important source, that is, banishment!
The hapless ghosts who are banished by banishment are basically not able to come back again. Banishment leads to the unknown space, most of which are space turbulence. If they can't escape after entering, they will be dead. However, some people fall into the secondary plane, which is very far away from the four continents, then it must include the divine world.
Even hell planes are possible.
If these "lucky people" are strong enough to survive and reproduce, they may also establish an ethnic group.
Yan Chong has nothing to judge about his belief. He was originally an atheist. When he came to the endless continent and learned that there were real gods, he was very calm. He was almost like an arcane. He just regarded the gods as a more powerful professional.
The culture of worshiping ancestors in the eastern mainland is also very simple. People are born to their parents, and they all have ancestors. There is nothing wrong with knowing their kindness, worshiping their ancestors, and worshiping them as gods.
In fact, the totem culture of orcs is also based on this psychology. After all, they all have a certain Warcraft blood in their bodies. To believe in totem is to believe in ancestors. In addition to the five color dragon gods believed by the five top tribes, the totems believed by more than 1000 tribes are not real gods.
At most, he is a God or an official or a servant of the five color Dragon God kingdom.
This is indeed beyond reproach.
It's just that they only believe in non-human ancestors, driven by demons, they are enemies of human beings, and finally they are not human inside and outside.
This is essentially different from the eastern continent.
After understanding the cultural beliefs of the eastern continent, we can understand the pattern of the eastern continent. Due to the great emphasis on blood, the aristocratic family has always existed, and the strongest aristocratic family is naturally the royal family.Due to the existence of professionals, some aristocratic families founded the clan together in order to unite, abandon differences and form a common idea, which is similar to the colleges in the western continent.
But after the clan became powerful, it gradually separated from the influence of the aristocratic family.
And those clans who firmly hold power in the hands of aristocratic families will eventually be eliminated because they can't keep up with the trend of the times.
If the clan's power reaches its peak and gets rid of the influence of the aristocratic family, then there are many clans on the mainland. Each clan divides its own region and rules by itself. Occasionally, the only powerful clan appears, and other clans become its subsidiary.
When it reaches its peak, zongmen will stagnate and begin to focus on competing for power and profits and cronyism. The aristocratic family will be back in the center of the mainland stage and zongmen will become a supporting role again.
In the end, the most powerful would unify the mainland, establish an empire and become a royal family.
However, there is a natural contradiction between the royal family and the aristocratic family, and the fighting will weaken each other.
In contrast, although the people of the western mainland also pay great attention to aristocratic identity, it is always difficult to form one mind due to the influence of many beliefs, especially after a few generations, when the blood is weak, the families will be separated, even if the scale of the royal family is not very large, it is difficult to form a large family.
Therefore, the history of the eastern continent is a period of continuous alternation between the patriarchal clan and the aristocratic family.
Over the past three thousand years, the pattern has been relatively stable. The Ruilong Empire unified the eastern mainland. Although the zongmen still existed, most of them were dominated by the royal family.
However, like the Maka Empire, the decline in the past century has become more and more obvious.
