Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 474 The Spirit of the Distant Land

God loves the world, and the seven gods still love humankind.

This idea, which was instilled with the long-term ideology of the seven righteous gods and was in line with moral values ​​and logical thinking, appeared in the minds of almost all members of the Tarot Society, including Klein. As a result, the terrifying associations and lingering fears that arose from the "anthropomorphization" of gods in the murals that Shael manifested also faded.

Yes, just look at how much Emlyn the "Moon" misses and reveres Lilith, the progenitor of the vampires, and you'll know that the gods will surely still love and favor the races that believe in them. The main base of the seven churches is also the four countries of the Northern Continent, and the angels of the churches are unlikely to be like the demon wolves, calling each other Tingen people.

With the Elf King present, the elves rise to power; with the progenitor of the vampires present, the vampires flourish. The Seven Gods betray and ruthlessly sell out humanity. This doesn't make sense. Gods need faith to maintain their stability, and the Seven Righteous Gods are clearly not on the same page as those evil gods.

Even Mr. Fool thought this was reasonable, especially since he had seen the human statues of the Seven Gods beneath Backlund. Although he had also seen the murals that vilified the Seven Gods, the statues beneath Backlund were clearly more official in any case.

This indicates that during the Fourth Age, the Seven Gods all appeared in human form. The royal families of the Northern Continent are now all high-ranking nobles of the Ternsost Empire. The fact that these nobles have survived from the Fourth Age to the present day also shows that the Seven Gods are still primarily on the side of humanity.

But Mr. Fool suddenly remembered that in Russell's diary he'd read last week, Russell, who was preparing to gamble everything on a path to godhood, seemed to have said not to trust the Seven Gods too much, as even he wasn't entirely sure of their true nature? Considering Old Huang's somewhat insane state at the time...

Klein still intended to accept this reminder while thinking about it dialectically. As a pre-modern person, a "time traveler," and a keyboard warrior who knew a little about everything, he clearly understood one principle: to judge a person's worth, don't look at what they say, but look at what they do.

The same principle applies to the Seven Gods. Klein, who came from the Night Watchers, naturally knows the necessity of the Night Watchers organization. As guardians of the night, they are an indispensable part, standing on the front line of protecting civilians and dealing with supernatural events, while also constantly facing the danger of things getting out of control.

The Church of the True God is trustworthy most of the time, including the free night school run by the Church of the Night and the relief centers it operates. In any case, the Church is a great constraint on royal power and can play a fairly positive role. After all, the Church of the True God certainly has a sense of shame in order to maintain the image of God.

The Seven Gods probably protect humanity, otherwise, various extraordinary beings wouldn't be so scarce.

In Intis, Emperor Roselle was able to replace the Soren family. Moreover, after the emperor broke with the Steam Church, apart from his eldest son who died of illness due to constant fear, his second son was still an angel recorded in the Holy Scriptures within the Steam Church, and the Mysterious Queen was not purged.

The Seven Gods don't seem so abstract.

Their existence is at least more beneficial than harmful; they are certainly better than a true creator, a primordial witch, a primordial moon, a mother tree of desire, or the dark side of the universe.

The seven gods at least blocked these evil gods and mostly restricted Adam and Amon. It's good that the angel king can do whatever he wants and that the supernatural is separated from reality. Ordinary people don't have to directly understand and face this world full of madness and absurdity.

After these deconstructions, the Tarot Club members' eyes cleared considerably. When they looked at the still terrifying mural, they focused more on direct observation and analysis rather than indulging in various imaginings and self-inflicted fears. The Tarot Club session ended in this strange atmosphere.

The reason that God loves the world is very convincing and easily accepted by people in this era.

Especially with the moon present, the more he emphasized the past glory of the vampires, the more he explained that humans are now the protagonists of the world, with humans at the center, and the Seven Gods favoring humans. It was as if there was some kind of magic, and those who were doing well were reassured.

Although only Xia'er knew that the God of War loved giants, the Earth Mother loved vampires, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom loved elves.

However, since they are all part of the broader human cultural sphere, and the royal families currently representing various countries in the Northern Continent are also human, this logic is probably not problematic.

Fortunately, Yuan Tai knew to cultivate the pure white angels and wind angels back then, letting them grow from weak to strong with him. In the environment back then, and with the redemption of the Rose, only these two could be considered human. Adam and Amon probably weren't human, and Medici was also born a fire giant.

If some aspects are changed slightly, for example, if Lilith doesn't listen to Tota's advice and follows her own will, and just eats the Mother Path to Godhood ritual without caring about this or that, then there's no need to pretend anymore. Once Tota dies, the God of War and the giants, the Earth Mother Goddess and the vampires will definitely stand together.

The "Dragon of Wisdom," Herabergen, naturally followed suit, happily gathering the remaining dragons back into the ranks.

The Demon Lord and his demons, the God of Spirits and his alien races, the God of the Dead and his feathered serpents.

The world immediately returned to the Second Age, an era in which multiple races coexisted. Human appearance would no longer be the mainstream, and giants and vampires would likely continue to differentiate themselves from humans.

Putting aside other things, Ocycus and Leodorus truly inherited the spirit of the ancient sun god. Leodorus, in particular, did not choose to incorporate any of the angelic deep-sea kings, the highly intelligent Nagas, or the deep-sea lords who ruled over a region of water.

In order to strengthen their control over the five seas, the once more powerful elves chose to subdue these sea monsters.

But Leodorus was tough, and so was the Church of Storms. They abandoned these alien races, hunted them down, and drove these sea monsters to more remote sea areas. As for the Church of Storms, they had limited manpower and could not stay in the sea forever, so they could not actually control the entire five seas like the elves.

Clearly, the Lord of Storms, including the Church of Storms, may not have such a strong desire to control the ocean, or the authority brought by the power of the storms may already be sufficient.

Could this be considered... a process of de-revolutionizing the old folks who occupy positions and grow younger with age by young people of the new century?

In any case, they still respected the ancient sun god. Of course, they respected the dead ancient sun god, and even Amon recognized the "dead" ancient sun god. In the end, the old people occupied a lot of divine positions.

Thinking that the Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms were such pure people, Xia'er felt much lighter. Pride and arrogance are both lovely. This world should have fewer hermits and darkness.
