Chapter 364: Historical Perfection 1
Chapter 364: Historical Perfection 1
If the previous crisis spelled the end for the drug traffickers, then this collision and the emergence of this dialogue were a massive carnival for folklore, theology, mythology, and history scholars worldwide!
Countless nations began seeking out these Experts and Scholars, tasking them with using this dialogue to deduce a certain past that they could already somewhat guess!
After all, this information did not exist in isolation. It had been slowly revealed alongside the rise of The Church and the development of the various Divine Pantheons.
For instance, the "darkness" mentioned during the initial Angelic Descent in New York, the standoff at the Original Inhabitants' school, and even the rise of Vampires and the resurgence of Demons all seemed to share some special connection.
Many knew that a Divine Pantheon did not appear out of thin air. Instead, it was a special Transcendent faction that slowly revealed itself by relying on the culture or history of a race.
Therefore, they also wanted to study the history of these Transcendent factions to explore the true origins of this world. In doing so, they hoped to discover the relationship between themselves and these Transcendent factions, or even find the very source of their development!
Even The Church took the initiative to seek the help of Theologians from various countries. They wanted to continue writing the history of The Church, documenting it all the way back to the time before their Deities descended upon this world!
And this continuation of history, this textual research of historical records, under the burning of the Divine Flame, paradoxically became a reflection of this world's history.
In a sense, one could say that their speculations guided history. When history aligned with their theories, that segment of history was completely rewritten.
Their exploration of history actually made true history even more scarce, replacing it with the completely New History shaped by Bai Yang."Crown, they have truly discovered the history you designed! And the perfection of this history is forcing the Transcendent history of this world to accelerate its evolution!" Alvin's voice rang out, carrying a wave of pleasant surprise. "This is causing the originally illusory Divine Pantheons to rapidly solidify!"
"This is a good thing!" Bai Yang said with a smile. "Once the history is completely set, even if we do not finish building these Divine Pantheons in the future, they will still be forged from endless Wish Power!"
"Now, as long as this lie is not exposed and no one truly breaks this scheme, even if we die, this world will continue to develop according to this trend!"
At this moment, Bai Yang felt an immense sense of gratification. The situation he had plotted for so long was now being pieced together bit by bit. These people had discovered his little machinations, which naturally brought him joy.
"But Crown, where exactly should this Deity, Weiqiluobocitli, whom you have molded, be placed?" Alvin asked again.
He looked at the Sun God, who was practically silent in front of Bai Yang, appearing quite curious. "His current power should be approaching Weak Divinity, right?"
"Not approaching, it is exactly at the level of Weak Divinity!" Bai Yang stated. "This level of expression is already sufficient in this world. However, in the Setting, he must possess Powerful Divine Power, and it must be at the peak of Powerful Divine Power at that! Therefore, this body can only be an avatar!"
"However, that isn't the most pressing matter!" A broad smile spread across Bai Yang's face. "By utilizing Divine Faith and special historical nodes, we can already mold true Deities! This means that the development of our Divine Pantheons will enter a brand-new era!"
"Moving forward, we can make our future shaping a bit broader!"
Alvin bowed. "Understood, Crown. From now on, the various Divine Pantheons will no longer be centered around Transcendent Beings and ordinary people as the main storyline, but will expand to the top-tier Transcendent and Demigod levels!"
"Correct. If every Divine Pantheon has its own Demigod power descending, then the Plane level of this world might even experience an Ascension!" Bai Yang said. "But the amount of Matter required for that is terrifying. Perhaps we will have to go somewhere farther away to find enough Matter!"
Bai Yang stood up, and a void portal appeared before him. "Let's go, Alvin. We are taking another trip to Proxima Centauri to find more Matter for our creations!"
"Then what about this world, Crown? Shall we let them develop on their own?" Alvin asked.
"Just have The Core set up early warnings in the extreme north, in case that Powerful Divine Power actually goes crazy and runs over here!" Bai Yang gazed at the scene before him and chuckled. "As for the people on this land, let them do it themselves. They are far more creative than we are!"
The figures of the two vanished into the portal. Meanwhile, on the land beneath their feet, numerous nations were also perfecting their "mythological and historical deductions."
For instance, inside the White House, which had already reached a cooperation agreement with the Norse Pantheon, Golden Hair was questioning Qian Si and Baron about the specific details of this "Sacrifice": "You heard the conversation between those two, right? What language was it?"
"We couldn't understand it. The words of Crown Jesus should be the Hebrew Language, but something felt a bit off..." Baron replied. "As for that Weiqiluobocitli, it was a language we have absolutely never heard before. However, perhaps because they are Deities, we could comprehend their dialogue!"
Qian Si added, "The specific dialogue has already been placed on your desk. We even tracked down Jeff and got a complete copy of the Footage from him. The voices inside can be understood as well. All the specific details are in there!"
"Excellent... It seems we should be able to find the reason why these Deities disappeared..." At this moment, it was time for their story compiler, Theology Professor, and history Expert, Thomas Franklin, to take the stage!
Golden Hair pressed the button on his desk that was originally meant for summoning colas, allowing a group of Experts and Scholars to file into the room. They all gathered around Professor Thomas. It appeared that this man had already achieved unity in tone and context.
"Respected Great Leader, we have completed our comprehension and perfection of that segment of history. I will speak about our understanding of the history here..." Professor Thomas's remarkably calm voice rang out, causing the expressions of the cabinet members in the room to turn solemn.
Professor Thomas seemed like an absolute madman, but in a way, he was also someone whom everyone admired.
Because on multiple occasions, he had used nearly ruined historical documents to restore a segment of history for them, one with a Specious Appearance, yet still sufficiently logical.
"Based on the materials we have gathered so far, I discovered a very interesting story. That is, the Transcendent sects that have experienced special crises up to now all had those crises occur at a very specific point in time—the eleventh century AD!"
Professor Thomas spoke softly, "The schism of the Catholic Church, the great catastrophe and fragmentation of the Aztec Empire, the fall of Norse Mythology, the disintegration of Buddhism, and the rupture between Japan's Shinto and Onmyodo..."
"It is as if, during this period, a special circumstance occurred simultaneously that caused them to split apart. We did not find this kind of information in "The Bible", and our nation's history lacks any correlation with such records. Therefore, I contacted the British and discovered that the decline of their Celts also happened around this time!"
"So, I hypothesized: could it be that something terrifying happened during that period? Something so horrifying that all the Deities vanished from our world?"
"I don't know if you all still remember, but during the first Sacrifice of the Apache Tribe, the Eagle God spoke on the topic of 'slumber'?"
"If not for the injuries sustained in battle, why would these powerful Deities, and even the Chief Gods, fall into slumber?"
Professor Thomas's words provoked deep thought among many, and he was clearly not finished yet. "Because the gods fell into slumber, no Deities appeared in any region for the thousand years that followed!"
"Consequently, the power of the sects that relied on the gods grew smaller and smaller, eventually fading away, which allowed for the subsequent rise of our modern nations."
"This point can be clearly seen from the records of The Church. During the American Civil War, The Church could still dispatch a squad to North America to participate in the Vampire war. Yet, by the time of World War II, there was absolutely no news from The Church anymore!"
"Applied to other mythologies, this roughly translates to the mass deaths of the Native Americans, the loss of faith in the Nordic countries, and the complete decline of Buddhism in India... These are all iconic expressions of humanity surpassing the gods!"
"And the dialogue between Crown Jesus and the South American Sun God has cemented my hypothesis!"
Professor Thomas's words left everyone present utterly astonished. Golden Hair even asked, "Then what do you think was the cause of such an event?"
"Without a doubt—a Divine War!" Professor Thomas stated without hesitation. "A massive, terrifying Divine War that affected the entire world!"
Just as he spoke, many people all over the world were making similar deductions. These speculations converged, seemingly adding a touch of clarity to an originally illusory world...
That was the gathering of Wish Power, altering the shape of the world's Consciousness!
