For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King Chapter 294

  Chapter 294 Mother God Belief in Dark Ages

   Looking back now, it was a long, long time ago. If she hadn't set foot on this land again, if she hadn't come here again, maybe Remedios herself would have completely forgotten those past events.

   That was after the disastrous conclusion of the last meeting of Twilight Keep, which declared the Tribunal to be virtually torn apart.

Before leaving the Dusk Fortress, Remedios refused the invitation of Byron Lionheart, and at the same time refused the request of the Marcus devotees - although they solved the lunar crisis together in the past and were willing to entrust their lives to opponent's comrade. But Remedios had no interest in their plans and promises for the future, nor did she vaguely feel that they would succeed.

   It's just that she also doesn't want to change the thoughts of her former comrades-in-arms. After all, for Vik Continent, as a high elf, she is just an outsider after all.

   Therefore, after disbanding the "Sentinel" unit that belonged to her directly, she chose to travel again in the Vic Continent, and once again became the unrestrained ranger.

   It was only this time, she was alone.

   Until she returned to Ava by boat because she was unwilling to be involved in the turmoil of the countries on the continent, she had traveled in the Vic continent for about ten years.

   And the memories of those ten years have become blurred due to the dilution of nearly a thousand years of time. Recalling the various experiences that I have experienced over the past ten years is as unreal as seeing flowers in the fog, just like a scene in a dream. It's just that there are only two things that she still has a little impression on to this day.

  In the depths of the Holy Sepulchre in the Great Cemetery of Thorns City, the desperate ruler of the Blackwater Kingdom tried to awaken the ancient Blackwater King to come to the world with the power of the tide of the undead of the rotten moon. Remedios, who was traveling in Nakuland at the time, rushed there immediately after receiving a message for help from Blake, who had been missing for many years. It's just that she was a step too late after all - a step too late in every sense.

When Remedios and another member of the Tribunal arrived at the scene, both Black and Coles had already killed the nascent crisis in their infancy at the cost of their own lives. . In the end, all they were able to do was to take care of the funeral and inscribe tombstones for the two friends who had passed away.

   Of course, it wasn't until many years later that she knew that the so-called crisis was nothing but a trap set up by Coles in order to be promoted to the Void King. It's just that at that time, she had experienced a lot of things, and lost more of her at the same time, and her heart was already as cold as a stone, and her deadly emotions would no longer be touched by such a thing.

   As for another thing, it is inextricably linked with the present thing.

   That was when she was on a tour along the road of salvation of the Watcher of the End, and came back to Ravenwood. Neh, who had been missing for many years, took the initiative to find her.

"help me…"

   She still remembered that it was deep in the Ravenwood Forest, under a sub-tree inaccessible. The strongest Frost Magic Singer in the entire Vic Continent at that time asked her so straight to the point, as well as Sibilla Homer, who was also invited here.

  No... It's more that he's begging than he's begging.

   "Please help me get my breath back."

  Remedios also remembered that it was the first time they saw the soul box belonging to Neh—the shape was simple, and it gave people a feeling of depression as if they were trapped. Even Sibila, who possesses the [God's Eye], cannot see through the essence of the soul box.

  Neh told them both of what had happened in the past - the presiding judge had tried to deprive him of his right to die before he left. He didn't understand why the only person in the world who could possibly understand himself would do such a thing. However, in order to repay the presiding judge's past kindness, he was willing to try one last time.

   Work hard before you die.

   The presiding judge didn't want to die, and he didn't want him to continue such a morbid life. To this end, he can only do his best to open up a path that can accommodate the wishes of the two.

   After years of investigation and research, he intends to accomplish a feat no one has ever achieved before, creating a real miracle comparable to resurrecting the dead—turning himself back from the dead to the living.

This is something that cannot be done under the modern magic framework theory. Even Neh's undead and frost magic have already climbed to the top, and his realm is no less than that of the presiding judge when he left, and he can't complete himself. A reversal from death to life.

   But outside of modern magic, he has found a path to success.

   That is to rely on the belief system of the forest elves to complete his reincarnation.

   "The rebirth ceremony originated from the belief in the mother goddess of the dark age."

   Remedios and Sibilla were stunned after he made his plan clear. They couldn't believe that Neh was the one who could come up with such a crazy plan.

In a story passed down by word of mouth among the forest elves, there is a story about a mother who devoured a child killed by her father during a hunt, found herself pregnant again, and gave birth to her original dead child seven months later. legend.

   This is a very narrow story, and in the story, it focuses more on the first half of the father who killed his son by mistake during the hunt. The story is only passed down among the ancient families of a few hereditary oak councillors, as a fable to warn future generations to beware of those hunting clans.

   But using this bizarre tale as a clue to trace the source, Nehe traced all the way back to its possible origin, launching a secret investigation for many years. In the end, following the guidance of ancient documents, he discovered a belief in ancient gods that existed for thousands of years.

   It is the image of a terrifying Mother Earth who devours her own children—he symbolizes the primordial urge of all things to return to the mother, and the mother's unceasing desire for control over her children.

   and appetite…

   Birth and feeding, birth and return.

   is the cause and effect of each other, mirror images of each other.

  According to Neh's speculation, the "Sacrament Ceremony" handed down by the forest elves is likely to be the remains of this belief - in order to maintain such a vague image of a mother to a certain extent, it will not be completely forgotten by the forest elves.

   And this image of the Mother Earth is probably the dark side of the Holy Spirit "Mother" that the Second Order has been pursuing for hundreds of years without success.

Since the development of the Seven Holy Spirits system, after the integration of almost all mainstream beliefs in the entire Vic Continent, each Holy Spirit more or less has a dark side symbolizing "evil" - "Father" has a tyrannical and arrogant tyrant side, "Lady" has a goddess side that symbolizes jealousy and lewdness, "Children" has the image of a mischievous **** formed by the intertwining of innocence and cruelty...

   But only the "Mother" of the Holy Spirit has been unable to find such a crazy and destructive dark side in the church for many years. The insiders of the Second Order even believed that this was because of the loving nature of the "mother", so it could not have much negative impact on the world except for over-indulgence.

   But He actually exists.

   Even the belief in the "Earth Goddess" has never been lost, but has been hidden in the dark part of the history of the forest elves.

   "After all, once faith is lost, it can no longer be called faith."

  Nich said.

The concept of    the deity includes the believer, just as the concept of the mother includes the child.

"The necromancer society that converted me into a lich is actually a believer in the Mother Earth. And behind them are several ancient families at the top of the Sacred Tree City regime. If you look up their family history , you will find that almost every generation of them will have 'unlucky ones' who die because of 'accidents' and whose bodies need to be devoured."

   And that is their heritage.

This is what   Nich said to Remedios and the others.

   "Then what do you need us to help you with? Will we eradicate that sect together?"

   The former Remedios asked eagerly.

   "No...I need to be the new leader of that sect."

   But Neh answered so.

"The efficiency of their work is too low. They haven't awakened the earth goddess for so many years. If there is your help, if I accept it, I believe it can be done in less than a year. do it.

   "After awakening the mother goddess, I will feed my rotten and stinking soul to the mad and horrible mother. Let me re-integrate with the mother, and finally give birth again."

   Using that legend as a prototype to arrange ritual magic, if the resonance is successful, he can be reborn after being swallowed by his mother, just like the child who was accidentally killed by his father in the legend.

   "Based on a legend that has almost no popularity as a prototype, it is a paranoia to complete the superlative miracle of 'rebirth'. In my opinion, the success rate of the whole thing is not much higher than zero."

   Sibilla, who is proficient in all kinds of ritual magic, said so at the time.

   "It doesn't matter, if after I have done everything I can, if the final result is still death. Then this eternal sleep is the peace I seek."

  Nich replied at the time.

   "I've already done this. Even if the presiding judge comes back in the future, he has no reason to blame me for anything, right?"
