I am God!

Chapter 274 The Origin of the Winged Man

City-state of Evel.

There are smooth roads built on three sides of the capital. You can see sail camels driving vehicles to shuttle non-stop. People talk while driving pack animals. The tranquility of life can be seen from the comfort on their faces.

The city wall was not built too high, and there was no moat prepared for war. There were only a few canals leading to the city.

There is a port on the sea side.

Originally, the port had been deserted for a long time, only some small boats docked, and no big ships came and went.

However, with the development of the other two seaside cities in the city-state of Aiweier, the port has gradually become prosperous, and more ships are coming and going.

The temple of knowledge in the city is more magnificent than the palace.

The temple also doubles as a library, storing all the books of the Evelians.

People in Aiweier attach great importance to knowledge. For them, knowledge is power and knowledge is faith.

Of course, this kind of knowledge mainly focuses on divine arts knowledge.

The books they currently have are not many, and the library seems a bit empty, but it is foreseeable that there will be more and more books in the future.

this day.

Everyone in the Temple of Knowledge is on standby, and it is no longer open to the public.

Even King Sidi of Evel came to the temple, as if expecting something.

Afran knelt under the statue of the god of truth and knowledge, holding his book of witchcraft in his hand.

Under the eyes of all, Avon sang all the titles of the god of truth and knowledge.

"The god who grasps the truth, the master of books and knowledge, and the god of eternal reincarnation."

"I sacrifice to you."

"I beg you."

"I hope you will give me the power of truth."

All the witch spirits in the Temple of Knowledge began to chant the name of the god, offering sacrifices to him, and praying to him.

The sacrificial ceremony begins.

A large number of books and paper pages floated in the light.

The words recorded on it all peeled off from the paper, turning into distorted black words and heading towards the sky.

Afran and the witch spirits looked up.

The consciousness of these servants and priests of the God of Knowledge was immediately attracted by the existence of the sacrifice.

Their consciousness was instantly torn away from reality by the superior mythical existence, and they saw the great door of truth.

And in the city outside, one can also see a beam of light falling from the sky.

The beam of light shrouded the Temple of Knowledge and Afran's body.

"Crash."

The book of witch spirits in Yafuan's hand flipped violently, and all the magic arts he had learned and mastered twisted and squirmed in an instant.

It can be seen that a mark representing truth appeared on his book of witch spirits.

In his body, the light of law flows.

The pages of one kind of divine art recorded in the Book of Witch Spirits flew out, and a large number of blank books and papers that had just been sacrificed were spinning around Avon.

The two combine and merge with each other.

The curse seal became its heart, the ghost became its spirit, the magic page became its bone, and the white paper assimilated by extraordinary power became its skin.

Finally, a huge white monster was born.

It looked like a ground dragon, but it grew a pair of huge wings.

It's still changing and getting bigger and bigger.

At last.

As soon as it shook its wings, it flew out of the temple, and freely spread its wings tens of meters long in the sky.

The witch spirits chased them out one by one, looking at the huge thing made of paper in the sky.

"A ground dragon, this is what a ground dragon looks like." As an Evelian, he couldn't recognize this famous creature on Ruhe Island.

"A ground dragon with wings? Is this an existence imagined by Lord Afran? Or does this kind of terrifying life really exist?" But no one has ever seen a ground dragon grow wings, and all the gods looked at it one by one. The flying paper dragon has a big mouth.

"A flying ground dragon, what is that?" The guards under the temple and Sidi, King Evil in the side hall, all exclaimed.

Among the species without extraordinary power, the earth dragon is the most powerful existence.

It is said that in ancient times, their ancestors once carried the master of life who had just descended from the kingdom of creation. Although the master did not bestow it with extraordinary power, it has become the most powerful species because of it, and has a physique that surpasses other species and vitality.

And this moment.

In Avran's fantasy, it has wings, and it has extraordinary power.

Although, it's not true.

It's just origami.

Avon controlled it, and the paper dragon roared in the sky.

The sound waves turned into layers of ripples, directly tearing apart an abandoned building outside the city.

It controls the wind, and it flies across the sky and the city just like the legendary wings of the wind, so fast that only an afterimage can be seen.

It possesses two kinds of spell seal powers, wind and sound.

Yafuan looked at the paper dragon, and his mood was extremely agitated for a moment.

What he saw was not a winged monster.

What he saw was a pair of paper wings that had broken free from all shackles, breaking free from all shackles with great strength, and went after everything he wanted.

If Xiuburn's boat means that he wants to ride the wind and waves to break through all obstacles, wants to become an isolated island in the sea, and wants to carry all the people he wants to carry.

Then Avon's page of truth also represents the deepest desire in his heart.

At last.

Everything turned into a page of blue light falling from the sky.

Incorporated into Avran's Tome of Witch Spirits.

This was Avon's Page of Truth, and he read the name on it.

"Paper dragons of Avran."

Avon became a powerhouse of the third rank. He watched the opened book of witch spirits slowly close, and a wave of cheers erupted in the Temple of Knowledge.

"Third-level powerful person, Lord Afoan has succeeded." The next Wu Lingnia was very excited.

"The upper priest of the god, the upper witch spirit." Aiqilio also showed a happy and gratified expression.

"We have such a powerful power again." The other god servants looked like they had become a high-ranking witch spirit, and some were so excited that tears filled their eyes.

"The pages of truth between Lord Afran and Lord Xiuburn seem to be different. The exploration of the truth really has different results depending on the knowledge you have mastered." Some people are also discussing the changes in the power of witch spirits.

Sidi, king of Evel, and Avon's best friend also stepped forward at this time.

"Congratulations, Avon."

Afyan said to Sidi: "I am just the first one, and there will be more people in the future who will embark on this path of seeking truth and knowledge."

As Avon became Tier [-], the ceremony that had been prepared for a long time also began.

The next morning.

In front of tens of thousands of Evelians, Afran officially became the Chief God Attendant of the Temple of Knowledge.

King Evel, noble ministers, and temple attendants lined up the promenades on both sides in front of the temple, and the other two important figures of the temple, Echirio and Nia, also stood beside him.

Nowadays.

He is the only main character.

A young apprentice apprentice came to Avon with a scepter in his hand, looking at him with longing eyes.

"God bless you."

"The Chief Divine Servant—Lord Afran."

"You are the first priest of the god and the chief of the temple."

Yafuan looked at the boy, as if he saw his former self.

When Afran was still a boy, he was appointed by Xiuburn as his heir.

But until now.

until this moment.

Only then did he truly live up to what Xiuburn expected, taking over his expectations and expectations for himself.

Avon put on the robes of the real chief priest and held a scepter symbolizing divine power.

He looked at the buildings in the capital city, at the crowds on the street, and even saw other cities outside the city, small towns and villages dotted with stars.

In 20 years, the Evelians have established their own country and everything.

He held up the scepter representing divine power, and thousands of people below shouted his name.

"Lord Afran!"

"Lord Afran!"

"..."

Avon released his paper dragon as well.

The paper flying dragon soared in the air and made a sound that resounded through the sky, leaving this grand celebration with indelible memories and colors.

-

A beautiful figure fell from a height and landed in the territory of the city-state of Evil.

Her shape is very different from that of the snake man, with no tail and a pair of wings.

She folded her wings and put on a loose cloak, walking in the corners of cities and villages.

She carefully observed this country that was completely different from Yiren.

She began to be cautious about everything in this country, and felt that these intelligent species with tails were full of danger.

But after going deep into the village.

Duma found that these snake people and winged people are actually not that different, and they have a lot in common. The similarities between them are so much that Duma feels uneasy.

she feels.

The Wingman and the Snakeman are like species printed out of a mold, representing the positive and negative sides of the mold respectively, but they have the same heart.

"Where did they come from?"

"Why is there a second intelligent species in the world?"

The Wingmen don't know their origins. According to their legends, they were born from the wind.

So they were born with the sky and could manipulate the power of the wind.

The civilization and society of the Winged Man did not interfere with the gods. In the first few hundred years of the 1000 years, there was almost no difference between them and the beasts, but relying on the absence of natural enemies, they reproduced a huge ethnic group.

Although there are all kinds of monsters on this land, except for the terrifying species like the Winged Demon, other monsters are not a big threat to the Winged Man.

200 years ago, the Winged Man saw the glory descending by the sea.

For the first time, they felt the power of the gods and saw the door of spirituality.

They started to have words.

They began to get rid of wild beasts and wildness, established order, and ignited the fire of civilization.

until decades ago.

Queen Medel of the Winged Man opened the door of mythology and welcomed the coming of the power of the gods. Only then did they truly open a new era.

In the power of God.

They became the Angels of the Sky, and they built the City of Glory.

Wingmen always think that they are unique, they are creatures born in the sky and the wind, and the Lord of Radiance is the god who controls the light in the sky.

The Yi people have their own cities and territories, scattered in various mountains in the northwest.

They each govern and rule their own territories and subjects, and the combined number far exceeds the current Aiweier.

But they must obey the orders of the high winged queen.

Melder represents the gods and the most powerful force.

The winged girl Duma walked through the villages, looked at these snake people and guessed.

"We can fly and we can manipulate the wind."

"They can't fly, and they can control land and stone."

The winged girl Duma had a flash of inspiration, and immediately confirmed: "I understand, are they creatures born from the earth?"

"It was born of stone."

The winged girl Duma thinks so, and thinks it's very reasonable.

She noticed that these snake people did not live by hunting, but by growing a strange crop as their staple food, a strange plant with leaves and cones.

The winged girl got the name of this plant from the snake man with mind reading skills.

"Ball rolling?"

Snake people have been eating Juanjue for nearly a thousand years. Snake people process Juanjue into various foods.

It is ground into powder and made into noodles and cakes.

The leaves of Juanqiu will be dried and salted to make various dried vegetables.

They will cook soup with processed flour and add other meat and seasonings for cooking.

Juanqiujue is also used to brew wine, which is used to worship the gods or quoted by oneself. For example, King Smerkel likes to drink very much.

She mentally guided a snake man to figure out how this strange plant came from, and the way they process their food, which is really amazing.

"How did this thing come about?"

However, the snake man she questioned didn't know either.

"The people of the city-state planted it, and then we learned how to plant it from them."

The winged girl Duma then asked: "City-state man? What is that?"

The snake man said, "It's the city-state people? Those people in the south of the giant island of Ruhe."

Duma: "Where is Ruhe Giant Island?"

Snakeman: "Our hometown."

Only then did the winged girl know where the snake man came from, and she wanted to ask more, but this was just an ordinary snake man farmer.

What he knows is not much.

Ordinary snake people don't know that the Juanqiujue is a strange creation born in the outer layer of the moonlight forest. It was discovered and implemented by the ancestor of the city-state people, Arsine, and it was also after that that the snake people began to live in large-scale clusters, forming the system of the city-state.

Most of them don't even know the written language, and what they know are stories passed down by word of mouth.

But even just listening to those unreliable stories, the winged girl Duma can feel that the other party's civilization is very old.

The winged girl Duma looked at the fields.

Suddenly discovering that the civilization of the snake people may be older and more developed than that of the wing people, she felt an indescribable loss in her heart.

At the same time, she was also very curious about the giant island of Ruhe, where the snake people came from.

Duma came to the city of the city-state of Evil, and she saw something else.

"Paper?"

This kind of thing for recording text is much more convenient than the clay tablet used by Yiren. Although Yiren occasionally uses feathers to record text, this method is too extravagant.

Moreover, the words written on the haori are also easy to destroy and dissipate, and sometimes they are not as reliable as clay tablets.

But this paper is completely different.

Duma noticed that this kind of paper was not expensive, as it was found in some nobles and merchant families, and she was thinking that it would be nice if other people could also have this kind of paper.

Duma saw all kinds of books, saw exquisite gold, silver and ironware, and saw a small amount of artwork from the city-state of Suinhor, the giant island of Ruhe, in the homes of some dignitaries.

At the same time, she learned another terrible truth.

These snake people also have gods of faith.

They believed in a god called the God of Truth and Knowledge.

"how come?"

"Are there other gods in this world?"

Duma couldn't believe it.

In this mood, she came to the capital of the city-state of Evil.

She hid her figure and observed the royal capital.

She was amazed at the prosperity of this royal capital. The craftsman skills, cultural background and various aspects of the snake people were indeed better than those of the wing people.

She came carefully to the Temple of Knowledge.

She looked at the temple that belonged to another god.

Duma raised her head, not even daring to speak.

She could only shout loudly in her heart: "Is there really... other gods?"

This is completely inconsistent with Yiren's beliefs and known worldview, and it will tear up all the past that Duma knows and believes in.

Even if there is danger inside, she must go in to confirm.

The winged girl Duma flew into the temple at night, walked into the main hall of the temple, and came under the statue of the god of truth and knowledge.

And her intrusion immediately alarmed another person in the temple.

Countless scraps of paper flew in and turned into a huge paper flying dragon, which raised its head in the tall temple.

Although it was not possible to fully spread its wings, that gesture was enough to break the minds of ordinary people.

However, Duma, the winged girl, was fearless, and she and the paper flying dragon looked straight at each other.

"Third-tier authority."

"There is also the breath of God."

Duma looked at the paper dragon, and for the first time she was convinced that other gods really existed.

Because she felt the aura that belonged to the gods from the paper dragon, but that aura did not belong to the Lord of Radiance.

It belongs to another god.

She turned her head and looked at the statue of the God of Truth and Knowledge.

Avon appeared behind Duma, and he immediately recognized the winged girl.

"It's you?"

Duma ignored him, she still looked at the statue.

Although Yafuan is very strong, she is confident that the other party will not be able to keep her, and now she wants to figure out another problem more importantly.

Avon asked her, "Are you a wingman?"

Duma still didn't speak, but his eyes flickered.

But sometimes not speaking is also a kind of answer.

With more intrigues and more complicated Biyi people, the snake-man civilization can easily see the answer from Duma.

Yafuan said with a smile: "It seems that I guessed well."

Duma asked Avon: "Is this the god you believe in?"

Afoan is much more rational and stable than when he was young. He is no longer that young man who is desperate for his blood.

The more responsibilities he bears, the more things he needs to do, and the more reason he thinks.

Gradually, he gradually understood the former Xiuburn, and understood the truths that Xiuborne said to him.

He looked at the winged girl in front of him and said, "A guest from afar."

"You may not believe in other gods, but no matter which god you face, you should be in awe."

"It should be done with great care and humility."

"Maybe the gods will not be angry, and the gods will not punish mortals for some small mistakes."

"But mortals' lack of reverence and arrogance of mortals will lead to disaster."

Avon sighed: "The gods are like the sun, and weak mortals will bring disasters if they approach or stay too far away."

Duma heard another meaning from Afoan's words: "Other gods?"

"You mean... there are many gods in this world?"

Afoan looked at Duma: "Don't you know your origins?"

Duma was completely excited, her expressionless face was full of indescribable seriousness.

"Do you know our history?"

"Did you know us before you met us?"

Avon was finally sure that the Wingmen in front of him had lost their past.

They forget where they came from and why they were born.

Avon stretched out his hand, and a book suddenly appeared in his palm.

"Your stories are recorded here."

"I can read it to you if you're interested."

Afoan looked into Duma's eyes: "But this story may be different from what you imagined, are you sure you want to know?"

Duma didn't speak, just nodded.

Yafuan took her to a corner and asked Duma to sit down.

He turned the pages of the book and began to talk.

"This is a story about 1000 years ago, a story about gods and mortals."

"A...a story about the birth of an intelligent species."

It was a fairy tale called "The Mother of Ten Thousand Serpents and the Trial of God".

The story tells the story of the mother of all snakes and the master of life. The master of life created the mother of all snakes. In order to make the mother of all snakes worthy of God's favor, he tested the mother of all snakes through trials. mousse.

Thermos, the mother of all snakes, passed one test after another and became an apostle of God.

In the end, because of jealousy, he let go the intelligent seedling man created by God.

The story ends here abruptly. Afyan didn't talk about God's punishment, nor did he talk about the situation after releasing the Winged Man.

This is a book written by later generations, a story written by a wandering musician. It contains many fabricated and imagined contents, but it also roughly tells the core content of several trials.

Afran put down the book and said to Duma, the winged girl.

"That's our myth."

Duma couldn't believe it, and she asked Avon in a tone that felt funny.

"This is your myth?"

"It's so absurd and too funny."

"Since your god, my god, is not the supreme god."

"The mother of life is the highest god, who created us and all gods, why don't you believe in the mother of life?"

Yafuan's next words completely defeated the winged girl.

"No!"

"you are wrong."

Afoan shook his head: "Although he created us, he also started this era."

"but."

"He is not the supreme god, but the master of life and the creator of all spirits."

Avon told Duma a truth that was even more terrifying than the story just now.

"She is the god to the left of the Creator Throne."

"Under the throne, there is the King of Wisdom with a crown."

"On the right side of the throne, there is the Dream Master who controls the dream world."

Duma stared at him blankly, and she asked a word out of nowhere.

"On the throne of creation..."

"who is it?"

Avon shook his head: "I don't know His name yet. My teacher saw everything in the last era, but he didn't tell me in the end."

"Those ancient sacred names, those ancient secrets."

"Maybe it's not what us mortals should know."

"But before we were born, in an age too ancient to trace back."

"The Creator created everything, and all wisdom, life, and strength come from Him."

Duma found a flaw again: "In that case, why don't you believe in Him?"

"To believe in what you say, the Creator who created everything?"

Duma was extremely excited. She felt that she had never had such intense emotions since she was born.

"If there is such a great god."

"Why doesn't he let everyone believe in him? Tell everyone how great he is?"

Yafuan suddenly asked Duma: "You say."

"How do gods view the beliefs of mortals?"

How could Duma know such a thing, and she had never seen a god before.

But Afran remembered the things that happened a long, long time ago, when Sir Xiuburn was still alive.

Xiuboen also asked Avon: "How do you think the gods view the beliefs of mortals?"

At that time, Yafuan was also in the same place in a daze.

However, Xiuboen said something to Avon that made him tremble, and he felt as if he had been frozen to the bone by the cold wind on the spot, unable to move at all.

Xiu Boen's expression at that time was helpless and hesitant to the extreme, and there was even a hint of madness.

he said to Avon.

"God said."

"Believe in me, it has nothing to do with me."

Afoan thought that this sentence was said by the master of life, which fits the image of this master aloofly.

He didn't know that Xiuboen heard it from the Sky Temple, from the passages of the "Hinsay Epic" sung by the three-leaf people. What Jessel said.

Avon stood up, and he looked out at the city, at the moon in the sky.

"Because the supreme god does not need the belief of mortals."

Avon said what was in his heart: "I just said it."

"The gods are like the sun."

"Mortals are too weak and too close to the sun will bring disaster."

"And without the sun, we can't exist in this world."

"We need the sun, even if there is a glimmer of light or warmth in the darkness, we must hug him tightly."

Duma looked at Avon, and she asked him.

"Is your belief still a belief?"

Avon asked her back, "Does God care?"

Duma was shocked, but she didn't believe what Avon said.

"not like this."

"not like this."

She shook her head and kept backing away, looking at Afran with indescribable emotions in her eyes.

But finally.

She didn't argue, and she didn't get angry.

He just spread his wings and flew into the sky, and his beautiful and light figure flitted under the moon.

She left with unspeakable fear and anxiety.

On the other side, Yafuan also felt a sense of uneasiness and crisis in his heart as he watched Duma leave.

"The winged people really survived."

Afran looked to the northwest, and he could probably guess that the territory of the winged people should be there.
