Pasha was startled and then said in a surprised tone, "It seems that Phyllis is right. You really know a lot about us.
As for the Divine Will, we only learned about it after the fall of Taquila. I don't think Agatha told you about this. "
"Don't forget, the Church was defeated by my hands." Roland crossed his arms to cover his chin and pretended to be profound. "Those witches who were in charge of the Holy City of Hermes are now imprisoned in Neverwinter."
"I see …"
Pasha was silent for a long time, as if she was quietly sizing him up. Even though he couldn't see her eyes, Roland could feel the tangible scrutiny. After a long time, her consciousness reappeared in her mind. [It's not impossible for you to know what the Divine Will is, but please keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else. It was the same for everyone present. When one wanted to pursue or protect something that couldn't be seen or touched, they wouldn't fall into despair so easily. But when it became tangible, the psychological pressure would be greatly increased. If it was leaked, it would be disadvantageous for the third Battle of Divine Will. "
Roland exchanged glances with the other witches and asked in a deep voice, "So the Will of God is a tangible object?"
[That's right. It's like a transparent God's Stone of Retaliation. It's shaped like a sharp spindle, but it doesn't obstruct magic, nor does it have any special function. Pasha spoke slowly, as if she was recalling and narrating at the same time. "But as long as you open your heart near it, you can indeed feel the call of the gods and see some incredible sights. "
"What kind of scene?"
"An infinitely wide hall, a crimson moon hanging high above, and four incomparably huge paintings. However, the scenes in the paintings are vivid and constantly changing … "The ancient witch described the illusion created by the Divine Will in detail.
"What do those scenes represent?" Tilly could not help but ask.
Following her question, everyone held their breath.
[This question has been bothering people for nearly a thousand years. The Quest Society has been searching for an answer but to no avail. It was not until the documents in the ruins of the labyrinth were deciphered that we were able to confirm this. All the tentacles on Pasha's body were raised. "What God showed us is the humans, the demons, the unknown enemies, and the underground civilization. The shape of the Divine Will also confirms this. It is not a complete vertebral body, but a quarter of it, so we call it the relic of God. "
"Four giant paintings, a quarter of the relics …" Roland frowned. "Do you mean that every civilization shown in the giant paintings has one such relic?"
[Not every one of them. The underground civilization has lost its divine will. Pasha's answer sent chills down everyone's spine. "One of the giant paintings fell into eternal darkness not long after the end of the First Battle of Divine Will. Based on the descriptions in the documents and the records passed down by the Union, we have come to the conclusion that it has been removed from the Battle of Divine Will forever. "
Did this not mean that the war that had lasted for hundreds of years was for the relics in the hands of the enemy, and losing one's own relic was equivalent to losing everything?
Roland's frown deepened. This was not good news at all. Compared to the unknown enemies, he was more concerned about who had arranged all this. Was it a coincidence or a necessity? Was it a random choice or a predestined fate? What was the purpose of leaving the relics? Was it related to the Bloody Moon that came periodically? And most importantly, was the understanding of the survivors correct? A series of questions emerged in his mind, and at the same time, he felt that he had vaguely grasped something...
What if the word "God" was replaced by another title?
While he was deep in thought, Tilly asked, "What will happen if we collect all four relics? Has God never given us any hints? "
"No one knows the answer, and God has never responded to our call," Pasha said calmly. "God does not love mortals. He only favors the victors." "
"How could this be... Just because of a stone of unknown use, they fought each other for hundreds of years?" Vendy showed an expression of disbelief. "The will of God is... too ruthless!"
"Perhaps, there is a passage in the document that is very difficult to understand, but it may be able to explain your doubts," the ancient witch comforted. "We are all children of God, but only a few of us can usher in the dawn. From the moment we perceive magic power, we are destined to have an extraordinary life. This competition has been going on for a long time, and to be able to reach this point is already one in a million. Birds are not birds, and we are not ourselves. It is fighting that makes all things continue, and it is competition that makes life eternal. " "
It was as if a bolt of Lightning flashed through Roland's mind!
"What did you say before?" He almost rudely interrupted.
"We are all children of God?" "
"No, one sentence after that."
"This competition has been going on for a long time, and to be able to reach this point is already one in a million," Scroll answered him. "I have written it all down, Your Majesty."
What did this statement sound like?
It was like a long road of evolution! From ignorance to civilization, all species that could survive had eliminated countless competitors. The description of the underground civilization coincided with this process!
Thinking carefully, these four civilizations seemed to be different, but they all had one very obvious thing in common, and that was, they could all use magic power!
Humans could produce witches who could condense magic power, demons and the eliminated were even more accomplished. If there was no accident, the other unknown opponent should also have the ability to manipulate magic power.
Only then did it fit with the original description — "We are all the children of God" should be referring to all species with this extraordinary gift!
According to this speculation, the Battle of Divine Will might not be to protect or fight for the legacy of God, but to increase the means of evolution... or in other words, it was the rule of the magic world. Therefore, the underground civilization felt that the road to approaching God was to climb the magic ladder.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Pasha's voice echoed in Roland's mind. "I feel that your thoughts are a little confused. "
"Oh? Can you see what I'm thinking? "
"I can only accurately feel it when you want to talk to me with your mind, just like what I'm doing to you now..." She paused. "Do you want to try? That way, the communication will be much faster. "
"No, thanks." Roland shook his head with a smile. "I'm more used to using my throat and tongue to express myself. As for the confusion... I just thought of something interesting, and it won't affect our discussion. Don't worry. "
Anyway, there was no reason to talk about rules, and it was understandable to regard them as the work of God — for example, the origin of life on Earth and the later Cambrian explosion. The former was born between Lightning and boiling water. Organic molecules constantly collided, fused, and cracked, and finally formed a molecular chain with the ability to self-reproduce. Such a probability was close to impossible. It was as incredible as a gust of wind rolling up a large pile of metal parts and falling down to form a Mercedes-Benz sports car.
The latter was even more of a mystery in biology. In the ocean where life was extremely monotonous and basically only algae and soft worms existed, the peace that lasted for hundreds of millions of years seemed to have been broken overnight. In a very short period of time, all kinds of animals suddenly emerged. There were so many of them that they almost covered all the categories of the animal kingdom later on. No matter how life evolved, it could not jump out of this framework.
