What the man spoke was spiritual language, and it was the same for his conversation with Ban Lan. Spiritual language could express the deeper meaning of the situation most directly.
After Zhang Yu heard it, he immediately knew from the spiritual language that this EsGod in front of him was different from the self-proclaimed God Lords of the past. He was a person with a Divine Position.
Divine Positions were naturally conferred by EsGods of a higher level and greater power. This meant that this person originally belonged to a God System with a clear division of ranks and duties.
From this person's posture and actions, he was very familiar with it. Not only was it not the first time he had done so, but it was also in accordance with some kind of etiquette.
He looked down and said, "Who were you originally worshipping?"
The man said respectfully, "It was the Ancient God."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "What can you say about this Ancient God?"
The man replied in shame, "Other than the matters related to the duties of a lower god, I can't say anything else. I only know that it's the Ancient God that I worship, and I can't even read his name."
He was not a member of the Ancient God's race, so the words about the 'god' and other important memories were all given to him.
However, with the slumber and fall of the past God, these naturally disappeared as well. But because he still had his priesthood and the earliest covenant, he still knew what he had to do and who he had to pay his respects to. But that was all he knew.
Zhang Yu asked a few more questions in detail and understood the mystery behind it. The rule of the 'Ancient God' was built on a strict spiritual or divinity system.
The Divine Position was both a conferment and a form of control. After the other EsGods entered this system, they would be able to obtain many things.
However, if the Ancient God could give, he could naturally take it away. If EsGod wanted more and obtained the 'Eternal Seal', he would have to continuously work hard and climb up. If he retreated halfway or betrayed EsGod, not only would he have to pay the price, but he would also lose everything he had worked so far.
Through a set of rewards and punishments, no matter how strong or weak one's divinity was, as long as they joined, they would be able to increase their divinity or divine power through this channel. It could be said that it would strengthen the dependence of those below and increase the cohesion.
What was worth noting was that from what the God Revival Society had shown, it could also allow the ordinary natives to obtain power and participate in this system, giving them the opportunity to improve.
Because the Ancient God was the strongest, he was always in a dominant position. As long as those who joined received tangible benefits, they would take the initiative to maintain this entire system.
In fact, from the records of the Ipar, they also had a similar set of Divine Positions. He suspected that they were imitating the ancient civilizations.
But the difference was that the gods under Ipar were actually just livestock raised by Ipar, and they could be slaughtered at any time. It seemed that he had only learned the surface but not the essence.
...................................................................................................
After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "You said that you are the guardian of the Golden Wall and the River of Arched Trees. Where are these two places?"
"That is the territory that I have given to the Ancient God and am responsible for guarding. It is a path that leads to the Ancient God's palace. If EsGod wants to visit the Ancient God's palace, he will have to go through this path," the god said respectfully.
"Oh?" Zhang Yu asked. "Are you still able to go there now?"
The divine man said, "I am only a guard. Before I receive an oracle, I am not allowed to go to other places. The passage is not something that can be opened at will. People who want to go there must be an emissary of God to lead them. But now, this door has not been opened for a long time."
Zhang Yu thought about it for a while. What he said should be true. He had seen the memories of that member of the God Revival Society. When this person found and awakened EsGod, he only hoped that EsGod would help the God Revival Society awaken more gods and fight against Tianxia together. It had nothing to do with his duty as a guardian.
"Why are you willing to submit to Tianxia?"
EsGod said, "I was once under the rule of the Ancient God and had to follow the covenant of the Ancient God. However, before the arrival of the Supreme Breath, I had been carrying out my duties until I fell into a deep sleep. Now that I have woken up, the Ancient God is no longer the ruler. I naturally have to worship the new ruler."
Because of the disappearance of the Ancient God, although his duties were still there, the divine power that should have been given to him had disappeared.
This was not giving him any benefits but continuing to make him do things.
He was not willing to do this.
Although the God Revival Society hinted that he could take back the benefits by awakening the Ancient God and obtain more, he knew how difficult it was. If the two sides fought for the ruler of the world, he would be the first to rush forward to fight against Tianxia. Then, he might very well be destroyed.
Since that was the case, why did he not submit to Tianxia, the ruler?
He did not deny these thoughts but completely admitted them to Zhang Yu.
After Zhang Yu heard this, he was not surprised by EsGod's choice. EsGod naturally did not have any morals or shame, and they would not use this to restrict themselves. They worshiped the law of the jungle.
However, if they submitted to Tianxia, this could not be done. Tianxia had the responsibility to educate them.
He said, "You are Tianxia, and you must know the rules. You must not think like you did in the past."
The divine man bowed deeply to him and said, "I will obey your orders." He then carefully raised his head and said, "I have a very humble and presumptuous request. Please give me the name of Tianxia."
Zhang Yu knew very well that this was a sign of submission and loyalty. Furthermore, to EsGod, with Tianxia giving him a name, it meant that Tianxia had acknowledged him. In this way, he would be separated from his original god system.
He thought for a moment and said, "Since I have voluntarily submitted to Tianxia, and this is Fu Province, you will be called 'Fu Qian' from now on."
As soon as the deity heard the name, he felt an indescribable power emerge from the bottom of his heart and quickly spread throughout his body. Ever since he entered this place, the feeling of being out of place was greatly reduced. Moreover, he instantly understood the common language of Tianxia and the various rules that he had to abide by.
He was overjoyed, and he could not help but show an even more humble and respectful expression. He bowed a few times to Zhang Yu according to Tianxia's etiquette and said, "Fu Qian thanks you for your gift."
He then said, "The Fu Divine Range will fulfill its duty and protect all Tianxia citizens who enter the divine territory. We will offer all the wealth and tributes that should be paid, and we will also abolish the blood sacrifice that Tianxia does not allow."
Zhang Yu stood there and accepted this bow.
In fact, Tianxia did not have a ceremony of kneeling, and Tianxia did not have a god. At first, when EsGods came to submit to Tianxia, Tianxia even forced them to change their titles and etiquette, trying to make them the same as cultivators. However, he later realized that the effect was not good, and it would cause conflict.
Therefore, Tianxia quickly changed his approach. EsGod had to follow a set of etiquette in Tianxia, and everything would be the same after he left. However, there was one point. EsGod could enjoy the sacrifices of mystical creatures, but the blood sacrifice of humans was absolutely not allowed, even if it was a humanoid creature. This had to be abolished.
After the ceremony, he asked Fu Qian to stand up, and he asked, "You asked Ban Lan to send me a prophecy. How much do you know about this prophecy?"
Fu Qian said, "Reporting to Shouzheng, I only know two sentences. I have already told Ban Xuanxiu everything, and I know another sentence …"
He immediately said another sentence in the spiritual language, "… He is the spirit that has been awakened, He is the shadow that carries the light, He is weak, He is strong, The meeting of light and shadow, He will be the brightest star that rises in the sky …"
This prophecy was quite long, and he only stopped after a long while.
After listening to this, Zhang Yu thought for a while and did not ask about this anymore. Instead, he asked a few other questions, and Fu Qian answered them one by one.
After asking, he asked him to leave.
Fu Qian bowed respectfully before retreating from the spell altar.
Zhang Yu stood at the top, thinking back to the second sentence of the prophecy. It seemed to be two different sentences from the first sentence. On the surface, there was no need to delve into the meaning, but it was not difficult to understand that the entire prophecy was about something that could be used to host the ancient divinity. When the two combined, the ancient divinity would return.
He thought about the legend of the God's Host in the memory of the member of the Gods Revival Society. This prophecy should be referring to this.
Then where did the God's Host come from?
From the sentence, it seemed that it had been awakened, which meant that it had always existed. However, in the spiritual language, it also included the meaning of "creation" and "new life".
At this moment, he suddenly thought of many things. He thought of the three barbarians outside the Yunshang Continent, and also wondered if the current attempt by the Divination Department had something to do with this prophecy.
Or were these attempts themselves driven by the prophecy?
He felt that he should pay more attention to these places and try to search for more prophecies to learn more details.
With a turn of his mind, he appeared in the warehouse of the station. The items that Ban Lan had gathered from the various stations of the Gods Revival Society were all here.
There were so many things that it took a total of five airships to transport them.
Through that member of the Gods Revival Society, he saw many people. However, he didn't know what these people were thinking or what they knew. If it wasn't for the divine power that stopped him from capturing these people, he wouldn't have killed them all in one go.
However, it did not matter. Although these members of the Gods Revival Society were no longer here, their belongings were left behind, and there was no time to erase them. The Gods Revival Society was divided into several factions, and they were all in contact with each other. He could try to find clues from these items.
