Chapter 180 God is dead, all dead (1)

"The original gods of the seven orthodox religions are all dead!"

Ifrit's voice was not eerie.

The temperature around is not low either.

The blazing sun overhead and the dusk temple bring a golden light.

But after hearing this, Ron felt a layer of goose bumps suddenly appear on his skin.

The gods of the seven orthodox religions are all dead? How...how is this possible?

Who exactly has the Church of the Goddess of Dawn been worshipping for thousands of years?

The seven orthodox religions include the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, which believes in the Goddess of Dawn and has its headquarters in the Kingdom of Granville.

The Church of the Heart of Nature, which believes in the Goddess of Nature and has its headquarters in the Theocracy of Spang.

The Church of the God of the Wilderness, which believes in the God of the Wilderness and has its headquarters in the Orc Territory.

The Church of the Mother Goddess of All Things, which believes in the Mother Goddess of All Things and is headquartered in the elves.

The Church of the God of Craftsmen, which believes in the God of Craftsmen, is headquartered in the dwarf territory.

The Church of Poseidon believes in the source of all waters, and its followers are scattered across a series of islands.

The Church of the God of War believes in the God of War, with its headquarters in the Giant Territory and the Iron-Blooded Bastia Kingdom... The reason why there are two headquarters is that the Giants and the Iron-Blooded Bastia Kingdom both believe that they are the orthodox descendants of the God of War, and they dislike each other and think that each other is a heretic.

Although the Theocracy of Spang is preparing to invade Granville, it is still in the planning stage and no action will be taken in the short term.

However, there seems to be some minor friction between the Giants and the Iron-Blooded Bastia Kingdom.

These seven righteous gods are the most widely believed and have the largest number of believers on the Dusk Continent. All other gods are called evil gods.

Whether it is the God of Eternal Freedom, the God of Blood and Destruction, the Moon God, or the Star God, they are all heretics.

But now, Ifrit actually told himself that the seven great gods had actually died long ago and fell in the war of Ragnarok.

Then, during this long period of 8,000 years, who were the hundreds of millions of believers in Dusk Continent worshipping and believing in? Ron even suspected that Ifrit's mind was a little unclear. This was too unbelievable. If Ifrit suddenly ran to a believer and told him that the god he believed in had died a long time ago, Ifrit would probably be sent to the stake immediately.

Ron even felt like laughing.

But soon, the expression on Ron's face gradually became stiff.

He suddenly remembered what his half-brother Virgil had said a long, long time ago, when he first entered the Temple of the Dawn Goddess, the first time he entered the cathedral, and the first time he saw the statue of the Dawn Goddess:

"Whether or not you can get the goddess's approval is actually not important. What's important is to get the approval of the person in charge here. Currently, the person in charge here is me. All of this is just a formality. As long as I say that you have the goddess' approval, then there will be no problem."

"After all, the goddess's approval... haha... according to some church texts, no believer has been approved by the goddess for at least a thousand years, including generations of popes."

A strange and creepy feeling in Ron's chest became stronger and stronger.

What Virgil said at the time was that, for at least a thousand years, no believer had gained the recognition of the Goddess, including generations of popes.

At least……

In other words, it is very likely that, in fact, from the establishment of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn to the present, no one has ever been recognized by the Goddess, but this has not appeared in the records.

Because the goddess of dawn had already died in Ragnarok.

The so-called recognition of the goddess is actually just a lie made up by the clergy of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn in order to recruit believers and consolidate their power?

Ron did not doubt that humans were capable of doing such things; rather, he said that this was very normal.

But if the Goddess of Dawn is really dead, then why can he still gain her recognition?

He even obtained the Heart of Ostara, a gift from the goddess.

That heart is still beating in his chest.

He even had a fusion of spirit and desire with the soul of the Goddess of Dawn on the Soul Ferry.

Perhaps, the Dawn Goddess Ostara was in a state where she couldn't move freely, or even respond to her believers? Or maybe... the one who was in contact with him was not the Dawn Goddess at all.

But, another more mysterious or even weird existence? Ron never expected that the legends about the dragon clan he heard from Ifrit would shock him so much.

Although these were just some unconfirmed legends, Ron was not stupid enough to treat them as a joke.

Seeing Ron's face constantly changing, sometimes livid, sometimes solemn, sometimes fearful, Ifrit froze, worried that she had said something wrong. She looked at Ron and spoke carefully: "You, what's wrong with you?"

It was a timid voice, like that of a child who had done something wrong.

The two fingers were circling in a circle somewhat awkwardly and nervously.

That look dispelled the haze in Ron's chest, and he grinned: "Nothing... Go on, do you have any other explanation for the fact that all the gods of the seven orthodox faiths have fallen?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Ifrit shook his head. "No, I just occasionally hear an old dragon bragging to other young dragons."

"My father, the Dragon King of this generation, heard the sound and quickly came out to stop the old dragon from talking nonsense."

The Dragon King tries to stop the old dragon!

According to Ron's experience, the more you want to suppress public opinion, the more likely it is to be true.

In other words, it is very likely that the seven great gods died in that war.

Who was that goddess who had once made love with him, was trapped in the Chaos Stele, and even dug out her heart and gave it to him? Ron felt his scalp tingling.

The whole body is covered with fur, which is extremely strange.

And Ifrit seemed to feel that he had finally found a way to help Ron, and once he started talking, he could not control himself. He searched his little head desperately, hoping to tell Ron everything he knew about the legends of eight thousand years ago.

"Come to think of it, our dragon race also has a god that we believe in, the Dragon God, who also perished during Ragnarok."

"In addition, it is said that the God of Love, the God of Blood and Destruction, the God of Plague and Disaster, the Moon God, and the Star God are all dead... Their bodies were torn into pieces, their blood was spilled all over the earth, and their souls disappeared without a trace..."

Boom... Crack! Ifrit really never stops until he makes something shocking.

Every word she said could give Ron a violent tremor.

At this moment, Ron felt his throat go dry, and the goose bumps that had just disappeared appeared immediately.

If Ron said that the gods worshipped by the seven orthodox religions all died eight thousand years ago, although he was terrified, he could still accept it to some extent.

Lovely God? Ceres? Dead eight thousand years ago? How...how is this possible?

He said so many words on the Soul Ferry, and even received the other party's blessing. He watched with his own eyes the existence that turned into a star in the sky. Who was he?

The God of Blood and Destruction died eight thousand years ago? Who is watching Cecilia? Who is guiding Cecilia to gain power?

The God of Plague and Disaster died eight thousand years ago? Which being did the Lord of Blood and Destruction invite to attract the attention of the repairman?

If the body of the Star God has been torn into pieces, then who is lying in the coffin of the Soul Ferry?

If the Moon Goddess' body has collapsed and her soul has disappeared, then who is Lucia, lying on a stone, listlessly sleeping? 　Chapter 1 is here.
