Chapter 526 Secrets of the Past(1/2)
The story originated thousands of years ago, when the gods still walked the earth.
The ordinary people living in the world of Teyvat have no ability to protect themselves and can only turn to the extremely powerful gods for help.
As if they had a vocation, the gods easily responded to the calls of the common people and became their patron saints.
Luck begins from here, misfortune also begins from here.
Fortunately, with the help of the power of the gods, people do have a certain degree of resistance to the dangerous environment around them, but unfortunately, there are too many gods in the continent of Teyvat.
Gods are everywhere in Teyvat. The powerful show off their strength and expand their territories, while the weak can only swallow their anger and seek shelter for their people.
The common people call this period of divided gods the Demonic War.
I don't know when, but the saying that only seven victors are needed for the war between demons and gods began to spread across the continent. The people cast curious glances at their own gods, but the answer to them was only silence.
But there are many powerful demon gods among them who have confirmed this rumor with their own actions. They defeated the weak surrounding demon gods and added large areas to their own territory.
In the later stages of the Demon God War, the world fell into a stalemate.
As rumored, the world was divided into seven parts.
The people of the mainland love the land, but the children of the ocean love to fight against the wind and rain.
In the far sea far away from the other six major battlefields, an ocean realm has been opened up that is the closest to the rest of the world.
Several demon gods who don't want to leave live here.
Unlike those demon gods who fight to the death on the mainland, the gods here seem to just want to find a stable refuge for their people, so everyone stopped the war in unison and tried to get through the end of the demon god war like this.
In the beginning, everyone was content with the status quo, hoping to continue peace for hundreds of years...thousands of years later.
But the good times did not last long. After all, the war between demons and gods was a war involving the entire continent of Teyvat. How could they be allowed to stay in a corner and immerse themselves in a false peace?
So a warning came down from the sky, forcing the gods of the distant sea to fight to the death.
Knowing that he was outmatched, the serpent tried to get into the bottom of the sea to escape the war, but he was reluctant to call out to his people.
Lei Ting's twin sisters knew that one of them would definitely die at the end of the war, but they both felt that that person would definitely be themselves. The sad atmosphere continued to spread among their people, but fortunately, their people did not know about the two.
Existing at the same time, even if only one person is left in the end, there will not be much change.
The thundering bird crouched down. Although it was not a demon, it did not want to be easily ruled by others. It looked around at the thick fog around it, unwilling to leave.
Just when everyone thought a war was inevitable, He appeared.
The silver god shattered the sky and descended into the world with the strongest attitude.
He was tired of the warnings from heaven, so He waved his hand.
In an instant, the stars hung upside down, the sea stood still, and the sun and moon repeated themselves.
The voice from the sky seemed to be strangled by the neck, no longer making any sound, and even deliberately avoiding the area where it was.
He didn't even dare to look at this again.
After that, the serpent no longer had to hide, the twins of Thunder were able to have both, and the Thunderbird also laid down its proud head for it and allowed it to be driven.
This island in the far sea is like a paradise, free from the rules.
Although the environment is harsh, people's efforts have allowed them to live a stable and peaceful life.
People were grateful to Him and built idols for Him.
The gods surrendered to him and were destined to give up their own territory and people and submit to his command.
The earth and ocean sang for Him and actively created the dense forests and streams on the islands.
Animals run around, birds sing, and monsters retreat.
All darkness disappears under the power of God.
Ever since, Rice Wife was established.
His name has been praised by thousands of people, and he is called the "God of Steel".
Perhaps due to Sky's fear, the two sides reached a clever balance at the end of the Demon God War.
The God of Thunder who was originally supposed to be born from the Inazuma area will be personally selected by the God of Steel to exercise power on behalf of the sky.
But the price is that other powerful creatures must actively weaken their own strength, or leave Inazuma and go to the dark sea.
The Orochi, who loves sea water and sunshine, actively injects power into Inazuma's island to maintain the balance of the ocean.
The thunderbird leaned down, listened to its master's advice, wrapped it with silver light and thunder, stabilized the earth's veins, and condensed the mist surrounding the island into a crystal, which was controlled by others.
From now on, the fog around Heguan Island will be controlled by people, and can be closed or released.
At the end of the war's coronation, the God of Steel personally crowned the twins of Thunder with the title of 'God of Thunder'.
Although the God of Thunder's seat only has room for one person to sit on it, the God of Steel did not allow it. He split the qualifications that symbolized the gods and divided them between the two inseparable people.
He never thought of ascending to the position of God of Thunder, because in His view, the sky was not worthy.
The Demon God War came to a hasty conclusion here. Different from the seven victors rumored at the beginning, there were actually eight people in total who were entrusted with the position of the Seven Gods in the end, and the God of Steel walked among the rules.
external existence.
It is rumored that in the early days of the Demon God War, the figure of the God of Steel appeared all over the continent. No one knows when and where he appeared.
People only know that His power is like the sea of stars outside the sky, vast and mysterious.
In addition to the two gods of thunder, Inazuma, the other six gods also respected him very much and even gave up some of their power.
Since then, the God of Steel has had the power to walk the earth and rectify everything.
This is the origin of the God of Steel’s nickname, the ‘God of Solemnity’.
Time has passed and the gods have changed, but the God of Steel is still there.
The people of Inazuma thought they would always be bathed in the glory of the God of Steel, but an accident happened.
Five hundred years ago, darkness descended on the ancient underground country of Canria, and disaster swept across the continent of Teyvat.
As the most powerful person in the continent, the God of Steel will naturally not sit idly by.
But a discordant sound came from the sky, which made Him furious.
This was the first time the sky went against his will.
As a result, the heaven and earth collapsed, and the stars and rivers flowed backwards.
No one knows the final outcome. People only know that the earth once again fell into peace under the light of the gods.
From then on, there was no more sound from the sky, and the silver god disappeared from the earth.
Some of the fellow demon gods also lost their lives, and no one knows the truth.
"This is the end of the story."
Coral Palace Xinhai took a sip of the tea in front of her.
Ancient stories are full of inexplicable attraction, making Paimon and Ying immersed in the stories of the past.
"Although the ending is a bit sloppy, the records of Sōun Shrine end here."
The girl Gongji shook her head, seeming to be very dissatisfied with this ending.
The predecessor of Sōun Shrine was the people who believed in Orochi. Later, with the surrender of Orochi, they voluntarily changed to believe in the God of Steel.
The same is true for Narukami Taisha Shrine. They changed their faith from Narukami to the God of Steel.
Qianlai Shrine is a bit special. They have been following in the footsteps of the God of Steel from the very beginning, so today Qinglai Island has a special status and no one dares to touch it.
However, Heguan Island is only closer to Qinglai Island because their ancient leader Kapaciri considers himself a subordinate of the God of Steel, so the two islands are still very close even today after the God of Steel has passed away.
After hearing this story, Bai Qiyun was silent for a long time.
Although the story is just a story, most of it is also true.
If the God of Steel is really so powerful, then why did he end up having to leave the scene in a hurry.
Moreover, his exact relationship with that god is still shrouded in mystery.
Originally, he thought that coming to Haiji Island would solve his confusion, but unexpectedly, more problems arose.
After a while, the young man sighed and rubbed the sore corners of his eyes.
"So why did the Palace Secretary tell me all this? It can't be just to tell a story."
Such a precious historical process must involve many secrets. You must know that even the most authoritative textbook in Liyue does not contain many records about the God of Steel.
This shows that there must be some unknown restrictions on the continent of Teyvat that limit the presence of the God of Steel.
Some high-ranking beings wish that people would treat them as if they never existed.
But it is obvious that these beings are not demon gods. If they are really demon gods, then there will definitely be no written records about the God of Steel in the country they govern, not even a few words.
Obviously, the "sky" in the story should have put some restrictions on Teyvat after the God of Steel left, so that it became what it is now.
"You are joking. Mr. Bai is naturally the most qualified person to know these things. We are hoping for the stars and the moon to bring you here."
"Stop, it's a little numb."
"hehe."
