"Original God?"

Hearing these three words, Lin Qiye immediately recalled his conversation with Thor in Asgard.

Seeing Lin Qiye's reaction, Lingbao Tianzun looked at him in surprise, "You know?"

"I've heard a little from other places, but not much." Lin Qiye answered truthfully.

Lingbao Tianzun nodded, and under the puzzled gaze of the other human ceilings, he explained,

“The birth of human belief can be roughly divided into three stages: nature worship, ancestor worship, and religious worship.

In the beginning, when humans had not yet fully evolved into humans, they had the most primitive fear and respect for the changing phenomena of nature. This was also the earliest "belief" in the world, which was nature worship. As time passed, nature worship gradually evolved and had branches such as soul worship and totem worship, but in essence they were all worship of nature and the unknown.

As human consciousness gradually matured, they began to worship their ancestors, hoping to obtain their protection and blessings by offering sacrifices to their ancestors. This also meant that the object of human worship changed from "nature" to "human beings themselves" for the first time. This is ancestor worship.

After the formation of human society, with the accumulation of primitive beliefs and the emergence of cultural differences, many widely recognized and circulated stories and objects of worship emerged. Western holy religion is one of the most classic religious worships. Heaven, Olympus, Asgard, Takamagahara... Most of the "myths" of the world are between religious worship and the "general worship" of folk religions.

The closer a mythology system is to "religious worship", the more power of faith it absorbs, and the stronger it is. This is why the Western Saint Religion was the most powerful in the past. The Taoism of Daxia and the Buddhism of India are also based on the most traditional "religious worship", but in modern times, fewer and fewer people believe in them, so our strength is not as good as that of the Western Saint Religion, but it is much higher than other mythologies."

After hearing this, many human ceilings in Da Xia showed a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces.

They have always been aware of the combat power levels of the many divine kingdoms in the world, but it was not until this moment that they understood the deeper reasons.

"But what does this have to do with this place?" Guan asked in confusion.

"What I just said, that the closer to 'religious worship', the stronger the power, is only limited to the modern mythology system, but the mythology represented by this place in front of us is an exception.

What they represent is not "religious worship", but the oldest and most primitive "nature worship", which is also the earliest "belief" in the world.

They are the embodiment of the fear and respect for nature itself when mankind was just born. Those who believe in them are not only humans, but also the countless lives living on this planet.

Beasts that fear fire, birds that revere thunder, fish that live in water... Although they are not very intelligent, their numbers are extremely large. They and the earliest humans are the earliest "believers" in nature.

Fire, thunder, sun, night, water... these powers of faith born from fear and respect, under some kind of power, gave birth to the existence of "God" for the first time. We call these oldest and most primitive gods "ancestor gods."

This is the place where billions of lives sacrificed to the 'ancestor god' countless years ago. It is also the birthplace of the oldest kingdom of God in the world... the ancestral temple."

"The oldest 'nature worship'... If that's the case, aren't they stronger than the Western Holy Religions in their heyday?" Guan Zai asked.

"That's right." Lingbao Tianzun paused, "This myth does not have the so-called main god and secondary god. Any 'ancestor god' can suppress the Seraph Michael if he is put in the present."

Everyone opened their mouths in shock.

Their eyes swept around, and there were more than ten statues on this platform... If what Lingbao Tianzun said was true, if this ancestral temple took action, even all the myths in the world, including the Western holy religions, might not be its match?

"Of course, I'm talking about their heyday, which is ancient times." Lingbao Tianzun continued, "With the passage of time, and the emergence of other 'religious worship' and 'folk worship', almost no one believes in the ancestral gods anymore. After the fog descended, the number of animals and plants in the world decreased sharply, and their power of belief was almost cut off.

Today, the myth of the ancestral god is just a legend. There are no ancestral gods in the world anymore... Even if there are, their power is extremely weak and they will not easily appear in the world."

The appearance of No. 27 immediately appeared in Lin Qiye’s mind.

According to Thor, No. 27 is the hunting god in primitive mythology... No, perhaps he should be called the 'Ancestor of Hunting'. Now that the ancestor god has fallen and faith has disappeared, he can only act in the world as the god of assassins, and his strength is only at the level of a main god.

Lin Qiye also didn't expect that if it were in ancient times, No. 27 would also be a terrifying existence that could single-handedly suppress the Seraphim.

Speaking of which, after he killed Loki, there has been no news, and he has not come to look for me. I wonder if something has happened...

Just as Lin Qiye was daydreaming, Zuo Qing asked:

"But since this is the ancestral temple from ancient times, it should be on Earth. How come it is here?"

“I don’t know.” Lingbao Tianzun shook his head and said, “The time of the ancestor god is too far away. Even I can’t calculate it… But judging from the traces here, it should have been affected by some external force and was forced to squeeze into time and space.”

"Just like us?" Zuo Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Nezha's gaze swept across the surrounding statues one by one, finally landing on the center of the platform, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

"These ancestral statues are all located at the edge of the platform, but their faces seem to be facing the center... Is there something there?"

Everyone looked in the direction the ancestral statue was facing, and saw a slightly raised area in the center of the platform. However, because the distance was too far, even Lin Qiye could not see it clearly. From the outline, it looked like a table for placing some kind of object, but also like a solid base.

After making sure there was no danger around, everyone walked across the edge of the platform and headed straight towards the center facing the ancestral statue.

As the distance got closer, Lin Qiye finally saw the whole picture of the thing.

It was an empty altar.
