Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 124 Mythological Universe
For example, geocentrism.
The Earth is the center of the universe and is stationary, while all other planets revolve around it, including the Sun, the stars, and so on.
This mythological worldview encompasses everything in this world, both known and unknown.
Under this concept, the earth as the center has the supreme status.
Other things around us, such as the sun and the moon, are all serving the earth.
So we can build some priesthoods related to the earth, or other planets.
In the dimension of the unstable equilibrium line, because it was a fantasy dimension, some key elements were missing, resulting in the fact that although it had structures such as universe planets, it was closer to the geocentric view of the universe.
Therefore, in that dimension, the tide symbolizing the Earth-Moon system will become the strongest.
If he were in the mythological era, he might really be able to become the master of a certain pantheon.
If you want to take the mythological route, you must first possess divinity, and then use this divinity to construct a corresponding worldview.
It’s just that the geocentric concept is too limited and almost no one uses it.
They generally use other concepts, such as dualism, reincarnation and causality, twilight of the gods, or guilt theory, etc.
Extract the core ideas from the earth's past myths, or construct a corresponding mythological cosmology according to a certain concept, and insert other powers of one's own into it, becoming a certain god under this concept.
This is how you can follow the mythological route.
For example, Hu Niu needs to complete a certain worldview, and then under this worldview, she completes her feat of creating the tiger people and spreads the relevant myths and legends of the tiger people to the tiger people group.
When this tiger-man group reaches a certain level, Hu Niu can be promoted to the tiger-man racial god.
There are still many problems to be solved here, the first of which is the lack of divinity .
The second is the stability of the mythological worldview, which is very easy to crack, and once cracked, all previous efforts will be wasted.
All I can say is that the myth route is indeed a fine product, but it has become a niche, which also explains certain problems.
The Mountain God is an orthodox myth, but that doesn’t mean he can really fight against the rule-breakers.
If the traveler takes the mythological route, he at least has four other skill modules as assistance, and there are also certain restrictions on the skill bar. Therefore, once he becomes a god, at least he will not be some kind of god.
It is equivalent to having the threshold restrictions brought by a traveler profession.
For others who take the mythological route, they do not have this limitation.
Therefore, after gaining a certain degree of divinity, they are fully capable of placing themselves into this mythological universe and becoming one of the gods in it. Their lower limits are very low.
The mountain god is not the lower limit of mythology, but it is also far from the upper limit.
He became a god based on his achievement of "holding up the sky", which elevated his status to a certain level.
However, he himself did not have the power to support such a status, and his mythological cosmology was not very large, so he was forced to choose the sub-cosmology under the cosmology of the heavens - the sky curtain.
Therefore, even if the Mountain God untied the restraints that supported the sky and restored his own strength to its fullness, he would at most be a moon-level existence close to a star level.
It is still far inferior to the general stellar day-level strength of the extraordinary ones.
Not to mention that he had no way to free himself from this bondage.
This is his myth, the source of his power. Choosing this kind of myth that binds himself is actually a very foolish act.
It is equivalent to sacrificing all his potential to fill the gap in this world.
In the Investiture of the Gods, why are the immortals unwilling to be on the list? Isn’t it because of similar reasons?
If he had not done this, but instead tried every possible way to reach other heavens through mythology, he might have been able to go further on the mythological road.
The mountain god did regret this.
He exhausted his own potential and struggled to support the Sky Canopy for hundreds of years. He watched his former followers die one by one. His later followers continued to be corrupted by the erosion of time and power. He himself had to continue to dirty his own hands and sacrifice others to maintain the world .
The mountain god even had the idea that it might be a good thing if the world had been destroyed long ago.
However, the God of the Mountain persisted in the end, he could never let go of it all.
Be it belief, or investing too much , or being reluctant to give up because of sunk costs.
The mountain god wanted to hold on until his last bit of strength was gone.
But at the same time, he didn't want to use all his energy to support a battle without any victory.
He wanted to let go of his regrets through these changes.
Now that he is gradually unable to hold on, he wants to see some descendants, the kind of descendants who can continue the legacy.
The lights, the gourd Taoist, and others caught his eye, and Lu Ran also caught his eye.
So he is willing to contact them as long as they can really show something that satisfies him in the future.
It is not impossible for him to share his own "divinity" with them.
Even though this would bring the mountain god closer to death.
But at least I gave myself an explanation.
Lu Ran looked at these golden particles and was slightly stunned, then she realized that the mountain god had something to ask her.
She already had some idea of the situation of the mountain god.
This world seems to have only two camps, the expeditionary force and the temple priests, but in fact there is another camp - the mountain gods.
He has a close relationship with the temple priests, but their positions do have many differences.
Then the mountain god found me most likely to make me change my position.
This was an opportunity, but she had a vague premonition that once she accepted the invitation from the mountain god, she might embark on a path of no return, a path that she could hardly imagine.
Taking a deep breath, before her mind could think, Lu Ran instinctively made a decision and followed him!
At the same time, at the foot of the mountain, Gourd Taoist seemed to sense something. He raised his head and showed a thoughtful expression.
Then he began to concentrate on using the Jade Ruyi to move bricks.
If you want to explore the power that is generated when the magic weapon cuts into the myth, you must have enough samples.
Not only does he need to use the magic weapon frequently, he also needs others to use the magic weapon in large quantities.
He collects this data.
Therefore, although the magical weapons collected this time have more powerful combat capabilities.
But the Taoist priest Hulu still chose Yu Ruyi, preparing to act as an auxiliary in treatment and do some tricks in the process.
Even though he doesn't have even a hint of divinity yet, Gourd Taoist has already made various preparations to become a legend.
He planned to abandon the inheritance of those powerful ones in the Tomb of Blood and Tears, and if necessary, he would not hesitate to expose his own nature.
Pursuing divinity while wanting to obtain inheritance, greed is the original sin.
He should control this original sin instead of being controlled by it.
