Chapter 406 The Forgotten Past
The film was very long, but Bruno watched it very seriously.
after all……
This opportunity to watch the movie was hard-earned after he spent a lot of manpower and resources to build the first [SSSSS]-level wonder in the Principality of Idar.
The content is full of practical information, telling the story of the past that has been forgotten by the world.
It took Bruno more than two hours to finish watching the entire film. For the first time, he fully understood the reasons for the fall of gods and the great oath that mankind had made.
That kind of soul-stirring and speechless shock is almost impossible to express in words.
The fallen gods, the shocking explosions, the rupture of the continent, the forgotten past, the difference between magic and divine power,
Even the mutant corpse that he had found on the coast of the Principality of Idar...
Through this film, Bruno finally connected many seemingly unrelated things together! It also made Bruno realize that many things that confused him actually have some kind of internal connection! ……
In that era, there was only one piece of land in the world.
A giant land mass without any magic power, called the "original continent" by the system.
All people living on the original continent share a common belief - the God of Light !
In that era, the God of Light was the common belief in the hearts of all human beings!
The devout believers regarded the God of Light as the only savior of mankind. They spontaneously formed an organization recognized by all mankind, and this... was the origin of the church, the earliest church of light in the world.
But people's belief in the God of Light does not come from the church's propaganda and teachings, but from the common threat faced by all mankind -
Mutants! You know, that was an era when magic didn't exist.
Humans cannot compete with mutants with strong limbs, ferocious and brutal force just by relying on their own hands.
Even though all living humans spontaneously united together, they were still retreating step by step under the crazy attacks of the mutants.
And just when mankind has reached the most critical moment to decide its own life and death...
A god called the God of Light,
Appeared! The existence of the God of Light gives humans hope for survival.
The barrier drawn by divine power stopped the mutants from advancing.
It was at that moment that the God of Light, the god who saved mankind, became the common belief in everyone's mind! As if in silence,
Churches began to be built, the number of believers gradually increased, and the Church of Light was born. With the protection of the God of Light, everything... was moving in a good direction.
But……
The barrier drawn by divine power is not stable.
Every once in a while, mutants would break through the barriers set by the gods, break into human towns and kill and wreak havoc.
At this time,
Devout believers will hold grand ceremonies and pray for the arrival of gods.
When the God of Light returns to the world, the barrier will be restored, and mankind will be able to enjoy a decade or even decades of peace and stability.
But,
Just fifty years before the explosion, this routine and script was broken!
By chance,
A group of pioneers discovered the greatest secret in the world, a secret that could instantly destroy all human faith! That is...
The existence of mutants is actually intentional by the God of Light!
They are the embodiment of God's evil thoughts.
The mutants slaughtered humans, and the divine barrier was broken and repaired again and again, all for one purpose - the power of faith! The God of Light saved the human race from extinction, and the simple human beings naturally developed the most pious and sincere faith in the God of Light.
The power of faith, although it sounds illusory, is the source of God's power.
With the support of the endless power of faith, the gods who control this world can gain enormous benefits.
As for humans...
In the eyes of gods, humans are nothing more than livestock used to collect the power of faith!
There is no difference between them and cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered! So...
Those pioneers who discovered the truth made an oath and swore an oath of blood.
They...want to kill God!
They want to use their own mortal bodies to destroy the gods' control over humans.
They have to rely on human’s own strength to shake a supreme being that is powerful enough to change the rules!
Maybe this will cost them a heavy price, but everyone knows...
Only by getting rid of the control of gods can human beings truly decide their own destiny and have their own dignity! Fortunately,
They finally found a way.
Because at the same time as they discovered this secret, they also made another shocking discovery!
At the edge of the barrier, at the intersection of the evil and good thoughts of the gods, a new power is being born! And this power is called——
magic!
If we say that divine power and the power of faith are of the same origin, both are a kind of power that comes from gods or can feed back to gods.
So the magic,
It is undoubtedly a brand new power that is not controlled by anyone or God! And the most surprising thing is...
The existence of magic power not only conflicts with divine power, but can even isolate the birth and gathering of the power of faith!
so……
A huge, earth-shaking plan gradually emerged before all pioneers!
And this...
This was the cause of the explosion! During the years of preparation, many pioneers fell, but more people joined in.
Among these people are civilians, merchants, soldiers, people in power, and even...
And the top leaders of the Church of Light! For decades, humans have tried every possible way to study the application of magic.
after all……
This is the only kind of strange energy that humans can find that can directly collide with divine power and isolate the existence of the power of faith! When the gods have just arrived and the divine power has not yet gathered, use magic power to isolate the existence of the power of faith, and use it as a guide to create a huge explosion, completely obliterating the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all humans! The above is the common expectation of all pioneers.
With repeated experiments,
This plan to kill gods, which had been planned for decades, finally kicked off in the fiftieth year after humans discovered the truth! And it was obvious that
Humanity seems to have succeeded.
Although the original continent was shattered and countless humans died on the spot.
But……
Humanity's goal was accomplished, and the God of Light died.
…
The film ended, and Bruno also withdrew from the film constructed by the wonder construction system.
More than two hours later, the scorching sun in the sky had already tilted toward the west, and the window panes were also dyed with a layer of light golden sunlight.
Bruno just sat there straight, motionless and without saying a word.
At this moment,
He was feeling extremely complicated and was speechless for a moment.
Although he is a time traveler and the chosen one in the online novels, Bruno knows clearly... that he seems to have no qualifications to comment on this explosion, to comment on this crazy act of killing gods.
Bruno didn't know how such an explosion was caused, and how humans in the past relied on the existence of magic and amazing creativity to create an explosion more terrifying than a nuclear bomb explosion!
Through that act of killing gods, humans successfully broke free from the control of gods and even directly wiped out the gods who had previously been above humans.
But the price paid was undoubtedly extremely heavy.
You know, an explosion that can cause the original continent to fall apart and turn past history into dust will inevitably cause countless deaths and injuries.
Although the pioneers were well prepared,
Many migration teams were deployed away from the center of the explosion, but it was obvious that most of them died.
Only a small number of people succeeded in rebuilding a new human civilization on the piece of land under Bruno's feet.
But,
For some reason, these survivors not only forgot this history that they should not have forgotten, but even rebuilt the Church of Light! The God of Light is dead! What the hell are you still teaching?
Thinking of the pressure the church brought to the Principality of Idar, Bruno couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Fortunately, although the film did not allow him to figure out what the Church of Light was planning, it at least gave him information about the mutants! According to the information Bruno got at the end of the film, after losing the control of the gods, the evil thoughts of the gods...
In other words, the source of power that created mutants has been completely out of control.
It is obvious that the continent where Bruno is now is not a place where the evil thoughts of gods reside, so naturally there are no mutants.
But other continents may not be so lucky.
Thinking of this,
Bruno seemed to suddenly realize something, and quickly stood up and walked to the map hanging on the wall.
"Ocean currents..."
As if to confirm the guess in his heart, Bruno slowly traced on the map with his finger while speaking.
finally……
Bruno's finger fell on the continent not far away.
"The Lost Land..."
At this moment, Bruno was almost certain that the mutant skeleton that drifted along the ocean current came to the lost land on the other side of the ocean!
There,
This is where the evil thoughts of the gods still remain, because only with the support of the gods can these mutants survive for thousands of years! "I hope Captain Hausen and the others...all goes well..."
Bruno muttered.
What Bruno saw and heard today undoubtedly shocked him greatly. Many doubts that had been lingering in Bruno's mind were finally answered at this moment.
Although Bruno still couldn't figure out what the Church of Light was hiding, at least... he had understood what had happened in this world and had found clues! Even vaguely, with what he had learned now, Bruno could clearly realize that he had begun to gradually clear the fog that shrouded the church! The magic power in the east of the empire was thin, and the magic power concentration in the west of the empire was declining...
And the existence of magic...
It seems like it can block the gathering and concentration of the power of faith...right? !
…
finally,
The knock on the door interrupted Bruno's thoughts, and Mondale's concerned voice came from the gap in the door:
"My Lord, are you alright?"
Bruno raised his head and glanced at the sky outside the window. It seemed that he had stayed in the room for a long time today.
Bruno stretched his body and moved his slightly stiff neck. Thinking that he had not moved much since dinner, he simply ordered:
"Get the frame ready, let's go to Idar Public University!"
Although the wonder bonus has taken effect and the Brilliance Points for building the wonder have been issued, Bruno has not seen the completed Idar Public University with his own eyes! After all, this [SSSSS]-level wonder cost a lot, and it would be a bit unreasonable if he didn't take a look at it quickly.
"Okay!"
After hearing the Duke's instructions, Mondai outside the door was immediately motivated and went to prepare the frame.
…
Across the Idar River.
This complex of buildings, known as the Idar Public University, is the longest-built, largest-area, and most labor-intensive wonder in the Principality of Idar! As a result, while the university was being built, a populous town gradually took shape around the public university.
Many of the residents were refugees and craftsmen who built the university. After the university was completed, they simply settled down nearby under the arrangement of the Government Affairs Office.
The concentration of population means that there is a large amount of labor and business opportunities here.
Many businessmen began to open factories and workshops in this new town, recruiting workers and actively adapting to the booming magical industrialization in the Principality of Idar.
Bruno never intended to control all the industries in his own hands. Instead, he provided considerable convenience to the production and operation of merchants.
after all……
In many cases, the existence of a market economy is of great benefit to social development and the improvement of productivity.
Before this, Bruno's reason for forcibly acquiring shares in the nobles' industries was more to tie them to himself.
As for ordinary merchants, Bruno would naturally not force them to buy or sell.
Therefore, as more and more refugees poured into this land, the industrial and commercial development of the Principality of Idar became increasingly prosperous.
Back when Idar Public University was just being built, this place was still a wasteland.
But now, there are many roads and houses around Idar Public University.
When Bruno's car arrived here, countless people had already gathered around Idar Public University.
Most of them were civilians who had heard the news of the completion of a public university and came here to watch the excitement.
Of course, not all of it is...
"I will work hard for 200 days and get admitted to Idar Public University!"
“Leave no regrets, never forget your responsibilities; never give up, prepare for the exam with passion!”
"Work hard! I want to go to college!"
Obviously, these are students from Two Point Academy, who are coming here under the guidance of their teacher to pay homage to the future academic sanctuary of the Principality of Idar.
Looking at these students in front of him, Bruno's heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable sense of pride.
The slight anxiety that watching the film had caused me before disappeared without a trace in this instant.
With the existence of the wonder construction system and the people of the Principality of Idar, Bruno is confident that he can eliminate all threats on his way forward! Whether it is the Church of Light, mutants, or others...
Thanks to book friends "Rotsen" and "Qingshichenghui" for the rewards!
