The emperor of eternal life pursues knowledge and philosophy. He also hopes that all living beings can pursue these things. He does not believe in immortality and does not believe in gods. However, all living beings do not have his wisdom. He even named him the Immortal Emperor, and turned his philosophy and knowledge into religion and belief, and named it "eternal Tianjiao".
This is almost inevitable.
In the early stage of any civilization, when faced with the unknown world and unable to discern the cause and effect world, all sentient beings would forcibly add relevance. As a result, natural disasters were caused by gods' anger, floods were caused by water gods' turning over, and so on. These legends were gradually enriched and became myths.
Myth has long been a religion.
Compared with the idea of eternal life, the natural god religion began to blossom. Although the natural theology believes in many gods and has great tolerance, it is too tolerant, so it is not rigorous enough. Countries close to water believe in Water God more, and think that water god is the first God, and those close to mountains and rivers believe in the God of forest or mountain and river.
So it's easy for nature's theocracies to split, and one kingdom will become many kingdoms with different gods.
At the beginning of the second epoch, in the mythological period, all living beings flourished, religion flourished, and art began to flourish.
This state lasted for more than 2000 years. The powerful immortal Catholics began to unify many scattered natural theological kingdoms, and many wars broke out successively, which gave birth to more art.
Religion and art, these two fertile soil, began to produce knowledge, philosophy, ethics and other concepts.
In the later period of the mythology era, ideas bloomed to a peak, and all kinds of academic flourished, but mainly around religion. All arts also served religion. But at this stage, some new ideas appeared, such as the concept of race, which was difficult to become the mainstream. In addition, a group of thinkers who had almost insight into the nature of all things appeared. They thought that the so-called God may be another existence, because this existence does not respond to prayer and sacrifice, so this kind of existence may have no thought.
This school of thought spent two or three hundred years perfecting its own ideas, but it has not been recognized, and their status is very low.
At the end of the mythological period, the law of light fluctuated again.
Compared with the period when the land was turned into a sea of fire, the fluctuation of this period is actually very weak.
However, the wave caused many glaciers to melt and a big flood occurred.
The flood has inundated even the mountains and rivers that have passed a hundred feet.
Countless civilizations and countries have disappeared in the flood.
Meng fan stands on an island, which was once a mountain. He silently looks at some boats in the flood.
Even in the mild ages, civilization may disappear overnight.
Those boats are of different sizes, larger ones, almost like an island. They can carry thousands of creatures, and hundreds of ships are connected together.
It was a water empire.
The fluctuation of the law of light does not happen instantaneously, but gradually rises in the past few hundred years. Glaciers melt slowly and water level rises continuously. At first, all civilizations and kingdoms did not care. As some coastal cities were submerged, the leaders of the Kingdom began to realize that something would happen. Before the flood broke out, some kingdoms had begun to build ships 。
This is also because the civilizations began to develop and the ideas began to mature. If in the older times, even if the flood had already broken out, the kingdoms still could not realize that they would perish.
The more powerful kingdoms built thousands of ships, and the small kingdoms realized this, and began to follow suit, building dozens or hundreds of ships.
As a result, many water empires were formed at the end of the mythical age.
This flood has greatly improved the status of those thinkers who have always been in a low position and who also believe that gods do not exist.
Before the flood broke out, they began to observe the law of temperature and day prolongation. Ten years before the flood, they found that the duration of the day was three times longer than that of the night, so they declared that the flood would break out. Maybe a year later, they would persuade the leaders of civilization to build big ships immediately. Of course, there are so many water empires It is not the credit of this school of thinkers. The leaders of various civilizations have begun to build large ships long before they begin to persuade them. However, their thoughts provide the basis for these leaders. Especially, their expectation of flood outbreak has become the earliest "calculation".
Although their expectations are never accurate.
After the flood broke out, the thinkers of this school continued to observe. They found that the time of day was still lengthening, and inferred that the flood would continue to rise and only the remaining land would be submerged. They believed that this was the reason for the "great brightness" and that it was a kind of natural law, that is, the "law of light".
Since then, this school of thinkers has become the "law school".
They were the first to create the concept of "law.".
Of course, in this era, characters and Meng fan lived in a completely different era, so the meaning of the law they named was different from that of Meng fan's time, but the general meaning was similar.A few of the religious schools that once believed in the flood began to rise, and even began to raise their doubts about their own lives.
"Religion and belief are fragile and easily challenged in the face of natural forces." Meng Fan said lightly. "In the early days of infinite civilization, there were several very powerful countries in their world who believed in a God. Then a huge plague broke out, and many people died, including those who were most devout and those who served God. This made faith shake greatly, and a movement called" Renaissance "broke out. In the face of such a chaotic era and a time of frequent disasters, their beliefs will eventually collapse, and new beliefs will occupy the ideological world of all living beings. "
The old man nodded.
Ninety years after the great flood broke out, the thinkers of the law school had a very mature system, and had a large number of believers. This is because many outstanding elites appeared in this school of thinkers. They reinterpreted the belief in immortality and the belief in natural theology once again, in order to fit their own academic, so they were gradually accepted by all living beings.
For example, they think that "Sun God" exists, but he has another name, the law of light, and this group of thinkers can feel the law of operation of the law of light, in other words, they can talk to the sun god.
When several predictions are successful, they are naturally regarded as closer to God's existence than those of sacrifice, and believers will increase.
It is easier to reinterpret Changsheng Tianjiao. Emperor Changsheng left innumerable knowledge and philosophy, many of which are completely consistent with the thought of law school.
Ninety years after the great flood, a thinker of the law school claimed that the flood would rise sharply because the days of the day were extended.
But this time, the law school was wrong.
The days did lengthen, but there was no surge. Instead, the water level was getting lower and lower.
The flood that flooded the whole continent began to evaporate as the law of light became stronger.
When the water level is low to a certain degree and some mountains and rivers are exposed again, the rainstorm comes.
Storm, thunder, lightning, tsunami, hurricane, countless disasters, destroyed one after another of the water empire.
The school of law, which thought that it had found out the law of the world, suffered a heavy blow in thought.
They, too small.
