Rockefeller, that was its current name.
Reina came to the dark underground church. It was well-preserved, and she could see some wax marks left behind by candles. The stone tiles in the room were all engraved with spells that Reina had never seen before. What scared Reina was not the words or the strange demons around her, but the empty darkness around the floor of the room.
This room seemed to be connected to another world, and there was only endless darkness in that world. Fear of the unknown was an instinct of living creatures. Reina instinctively hid behind Lin Chade. She did not like this place.
"What is this place?"
Reina asked uneasily. Lin Chade was holding a lamp. He stopped and raised his head. Reina followed his gaze and saw a huge statue appear in front of her.
She remembered a place, the Tower of Immortality, where there was also a huge statue of a human head.
"An ancient sealed place. There are a total of seven places like this, each sealing an ancient existence. Some people call them the ancient gods, but in my opinion, they are just some races that appeared earlier."
"Who sealed them here?"
Reina remembered the story told by the old granny in the Kevlar Mountains. She felt that it was not a story, but something that had happened before. The cursed compass given by the old granny allowed her to encounter the ruins. This was definitely not a coincidence. When she left the Kevlar Mountains and embarked on her journey, Reina was destined to encounter these things.
Lin Chade was silent for a moment, then said, "They were sealed by the humans and demons they created."
Hearing this, Reina was shocked. Lin Chade continued, "The ancient gods had great power. They could change the world and create life. Perhaps because they were lonely, they began to spread life. The world we are in is one of them. Plants, animals, they are the gods of creation in myths. Some of them created intelligent creatures in their own image. These were the ancestors of the demons and humans. As you can see, they look different and have different personalities. Not all gods like these creatures. "
Lin Chade's expression darkened at the change of topic.
"Among them, there are seven that are particularly powerful. They don't like creatures created by other gods. They prefer destruction."
"What did they do?"
Lin Chade gave her a meaningful look and said, "War, famine, disease, and death."
Reina didn't understand what this meant.
"Aren't these things that have always existed?"
"That's right. To us, these are just things that we're used to, but to the people at the beginning, it was an absolute disaster. It was like a fire in the fields, instantly igniting the world. The first creations did not die, and they did not need to eat. The sun gave them vitality. Of course, this is just my guess. However, the seven gods created something even more unique. They were Wrath, Pride, Envy, Neglect, Lust, Greed, and Gluttony. "
"Peace was broken, and the rules changed. The strong preyed on the weak, and the strong lived while the weak died. Driven by their lifespan, living beings desperately multiplied and killed each other. Soon, countless races disappeared in the war. The gods felt very helpless. Even if they joined forces, they were no match for the seven gods. So, they created existences to fight against them. "
Lin Chade placed his hand on the ancient inscription, and the surroundings suddenly lit up. Reina looked up and saw countless angels with glowing wings above her head. Their wings intertwined into a ring, surrounding the world.
"They created order to protect all order, and gathered their power in this order. However, they neglected one thing, and that was that the order they created only protected the creatures they created, not themselves. They never thought that the order they created would see these creators as the source of chaos. It banished the gods and waged a long war against the seven gods of calamity. "
This mythical story was not passed down, but it was carved on these ancient stones.
"Did the order win?"
"From the traditional definition of war, yes. The order banished the gods of calamity, and they would never return in the chaotic void. However, they were not defeated. They turned the seven curses into reality, and absorbed the evil magic from all living beings, giving birth to seven special creatures as their incarnations. These were the original seven Demon King, the gods sealed in these ruins. "
Lin Chade said. He looked up, as if he was recalling the past.
"So, the Hero was created by the order to fight against them?"
"That was later. At that time, the one who defeated the seven Demon King was the order itself. However, they realized that if they did not kill all living beings, they would not be able to completely destroy the Demon King. However, they were created to protect these living beings. The conflict between the two forced them to find another way. In the end, they found a new way, and that was to seal the will of the seven gods as much as possible, allowing their power to return to the human world and become the Demon King. In order to maintain the balance, the order would choose a suitable carrier in the world, and give the carrier the same level of power to fight against the Demon King. This was the origin of the Hero and the Demon King. But now, the balance has been broken. "
"The seal has been broken!"
Reina's heart sank. She had been fighting against it all this time.
"Yes, the guardians chosen by the order are the original creatures created by the gods. Their power is stronger, but unfortunately, they lost to time. You have to be clear about the identity of the enemy. The enemy you have to deal with now, Rockefeller, is one of the wills. It has absorbed all the power and become the true Demon King. It is the will sealed in this place, called the God of Neglect. "
"Then how can I defeat it? I can't do such a thing. "
Reina's heart was filled with anxiety when it came to the gods. She was just a mortal, how could she fight against it?
"No, you can. You are the disciple I am most proud of. Linnai, I believe you. I already know why I can't see your origin. You are the descendant of the Ancient Protectors. You have the purest divine power flowing through your body. Your people are called the God Summoners. When the gods of creation were exiled by the order, they quietly hid their power. Only the ones they chose can use it. You can become that person, but this is not enough for you to defeat the enemy. You have to gather all the races and gather all the power to win this war. "
Lin Chade grabbed Reina's shoulder, looked into her eyes, and said solemnly, "This time, the order will not intervene. The only ones who can save this planet are you on this planet, not the puppets of the order."
And the one who will lead them will be the true Hero.
