The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

Among the divine arts of light, there is a kind of divine art that only the God of Light can use.

That is the great prophecy.

Rather than saying it is a prophecy, it is better to use one's own divine power to forcibly change the direction of the future.

"I did this once many years ago. After I became the main god of the mainland, there are many other gods. Any one of them may grow up quickly and pull me down." The God of Light sighed In one breath, "I was still young at that time, and I was too afraid of this, so I became the main god, and the first thing I did after I stabilized my godhood was to use the power of the big prophecy to obliterate the existence of other gods, whether it is It grew up from human beings, or it appeared because of the worship of certain things by human beings like me."

Doing this by the God of Light is like cutting down a forest. It will take a long time for these trees to grow back.Hecate and Hussain are trees that have grown up during this long millennium.

"It was only later that I realized that my original decision was a big mistake."

While erasing the existence of other gods, the God of Light also erased himself in the world.Since then, she can only stay in her own kingdom of God, unable to continue to interfere in the human world. When the prophecy mirror showed her the mutation, she could only convey the message through the Holy Maiden of Light, a little bit. want to change the future.

If gods are like trees, then the whole world is actually a desolate Gobi desert for them, which is not conducive to growth or rooting. Only by relying on human beings to survive with difficulty, without other trees, human beings will indeed concentrate on taking care of them One, but without other trees, that solitary tree lost its ability to live after being abandoned by humans.

In the Kingdom of God, there is only the God of Light.Over the years, the saints of light have also ascended to the kingdom of God, and some particularly devout believers are also in the kingdom of God, but they are like the roots of the kingdom of light, and they are in a different place from the gods.Like a tree that knows its roots are with it, but never sees them.

The Nord Kingdom does not have sophisticated weapons, so they buy them from the Fek Republic or the Talis Alliance. The Talis Alliance lacks craftsmen, so they hire them from the Holy Church of Wilton or the Nord Kingdom. The Nagrand Empire needs a lot of forage to feed Their war horses, so the tribes on the grasslands are very happy to exchange Nagrand for their fodder...

Growing together on a continent, they are destined to compete for resources in this land and in the surrounding ocean, and they are destined to fight openly or covertly or fight for their own interests. All countries are mutually beneficial and hinder each other, so that the Hindley Continent will always prosper. Human beings on this continent have always been prosperous.

The Hindley Continent is not like the place where the Penglai Kingdom is located. The residents there are only Penglai people, so there is only one country in their entire continent, and that is the Penglai Nation, which is too powerful for the Hindley Continent.

In contrast, Hindley Land is a chaotic place.There are lonely and arrogant Northlanders, there are enthusiastic and straightforward Nagrands who dislike the Northlanders, there is the Tallis Alliance who created an unprecedented new system, and there is also the Holy Church of Wilton who has stuck to the tradition for thousands of years ... In the past, there was a city-state inhabited by Penglai people.

The Kingdom of Light has the unity of the Penglai Kingdom, but it does not have the strength of the Penglai Kingdom. The Kingdom of God alone cannot maintain this continent.After 1000 years, he is about to bear the consequences of the mistakes he made back then,

"Although I can't do anything, I can see everything clearly. Selene, Hecate, I knew the Nord Kingdom's plan to create gods a long time ago, and I am very happy that I finally waited It’s my first friend in the Kingdom of God, I hope we can win this time, I hope there will be more after you, and I hope that the Kingdom of God can become a bustling and prosperous place like Hindley Land, instead of just me Humans are struggling to survive."

The god of light was very tired from speaking such a long paragraph in a row, but she still insisted on getting off the throne and looked up at Hecate: "So, please sit up."

"Isn't this the throne of your Kingdom of Light?"

"No, it's not." The God of Light said slowly and solemnly, "This is the position of the Lord God of the Continent, and I will give it to you now. This position cannot make your strength grow by leaps and bounds, but it will make your godhood even stronger. Consolidation also makes you more likely to beat Hussain."

"But I..."

"Give the best weapons and armor to the best warriors. This is the proverb of you Northlanders." The God of Light insisted on pulling her to the throne, "You are the only one who can completely defeat Hussein, I once gave hope to mankind, now, I need you to give us hope."

"Hecate, accept it." Selene said softly, "We all want you to win, so we want to give you a little more help."

Hecate had no choice but to sit on it, and she immediately felt the change. All the orders in her divine kingdom became more perfect and stable. This may be the embodiment of the stability of the godhead. The God of Light said that there is no way to give too much help. But in fact, it gave her the most important thing that must be accumulated with time.

What Hecate lacked the most was time.

"You can't learn my magic, and I can't go to the world with you to use the big prophecy, so now I give Phoebe and Udura the power to use the big prophecy." The God of Light walked to the stone tablet In the middle, I bent down and touched the ground with my fingers, and a new stone tablet rose up, "You two have no godhood, and your status is not high in the kingdom of God. With your strength, it is of course impossible to directly Killed Hussein, but it's still useful to you."

"The last and most important thing." The God of Light coughed violently. "When fighting, trust your abilities. When you don't know how to fight, trust Selene."

Almost as soon as the sound of Guangming Mythology fell, the four of them stood in front of the altar of Guangming God Sect again.

Everyone else came back to their senses, only Selene was still immersed in the last words spoken by the God of Light.

"Trust Selene."

Selene has always felt that there is nothing special about herself.Perhaps she had been an excellent heir and a worthy ruler of the Nord kingdom, but in front of her friends, her excellence seemed mediocre and dull.

She is different from Gu Yinuo, Phoebe, Hecate, and even Udulla. If you have to use any word to describe her, it can only be "excellent". For a while, Selene I don't even think this is a compliment.

Hecate, from a magical creation that is not even considered a human being, broke away from Hussein's spell to become a human being, and then changed from a human being to a new god, and grew from a new god to a real god step by step, and then, now She succeeded the God of Light and sat in the position of the Lord God of the Continent.

In less than two years, she has already stood in a position that Selene will never be able to touch directly.For human beings, two years may turn the world upside down, but it is also possible that nothing will change.

Selene has actually changed a lot.

She's lived through nations lost, loved ones lost and found, wars, and what others might take their lives to do.

However, these changes that Selene obtained as a human being may be nothing in the eyes of the gods.Her long life in the world may be nothing in the eyes of the main god of the mainland.

Selene was worried about this question before, but Hecate's answer and the words left by the God of Light made her no longer worried about her smallness.

"You don't even care about my changes, why should I care about yours not changing?" Hecate yelled at her aggrievedly, "What do you think I have come to this point for? If you are not the Queen of the Kingdom of Nord, If your ideal was to live to the end of your life in a peaceful and quiet place in Hindley Continent, then we would not be standing here today at all, and I would not take over the position of the God of Light. neither."

However, they came to this world in such a capacity.

Since the three goddesses led the people of the Northland to settle down on the Nord Snowfield, it was destined to have the Nord Kingdom later. From the birth of the Nord Kingdom, it was destined to have the conqueror Toynby who led the country to expand its territory. , since Toynby learned the way of making gods from the Penglai people, it is destined that there will be such a person who will entrust the expectations of the Northlanders for thousands of years, entrust the prayers of this country, and become the guardian of the Nord Kingdom. God.

This man is Hecate.If there is a god more powerful than the God of Light, he can use prophecy to see the scene 1000 years later. He can see the birth of Hecate and the birth of the new main god of this continent thousands of years ago.

In the same way, the birth of every person on this continent can be traced.The birth of each person, and even the things he is going to do, have already had the first signs when there were no human beings, when the world was still young.

Selene's conjecture is correct, there is a higher law above the gods, and that is nature.

Gods, like human beings, want to see the future and change the future with their own abilities, but in fact, since a long time ago, this world has been slowly evolving according to the established rules.

Human beings call these doomed things since the light shines on the continent as destiny.

Selene and Hecate fell in love under the guidance of such fate.
