Since the last battle with the Cold God in the Ghost Forest, Gao Yuan has increased his perception of the divine power out of a cautious attitude. When the Ice God came following the green prophet's prying eyes, he was

Gao Yuan, who was talking to Caitlin, immediately raised his vigilance and hid the divine power in his body.

It wasn't until Gao Yuan ended his conversation with Caitlin pretending to be nonchalant and walked out of the main castle of Winterfell seemingly calmly that he breathed a sigh of relief. However, Gao Yuan did not relax his vigilance. He did not forget that he was still there.

He was in Winterfell, and less than five hundred meters away from him was the godswood of Winterfell.

The green seer can see everything in the world through the weirwood. Although the gaze that was watching him disappeared after Gao Yuan walked out of Bran's main castle, Gao Yuan believed that he was still under the gaze of the other party.

When Gao Yuan returned to his room, he began to seriously think about the relationship between the cold god, the green prophet and the ice divinity. There were many doubts before Gao Yuan at this moment. After sorting out these doubts one by one,

Gao Yuan began to seek a reasonable explanation for these existing doubts based on his understanding of the plot and background of the original work.

The ice divinity controlled by the Cold God appeared in the Green Seer, which reminded Gao Yuan of what the Cold God called him when he encountered him in the ghost forest - God Thief.

In fact, the gods believed by the ancestors of the North and the children of the forest are a form of religious belief developed and formed based on animism. This religious form believes that everything in the world has a soul or natural spirit, and the soul of all things

The existence of unity with the spirit of nature is the old god they believe in.

In the belief in the Old Gods, the unified existence has no specific name. You can call it the Old God, or you can use any other name to represent it. The Old God has no subjective preferences for likes and dislikes, nor is it independent.

It has no thinking ability like the God of Cold and the King of Light. It is more like the basic operating laws of nature. However, its operating rules will follow the social ideology and moral concepts that believe in it.

changes, and are constantly changing.

This was the original appearance of the Children of the Forest's belief in the old gods, but I don't know when all of this changed. The old gods began to have their own consciousness. This also led to the belief in the old gods among the later Andals.

During the invasion, the faith of the Seven Gods, which was more just and had more detailed moral treaties, emerged, and was gradually abandoned by the people who believed in it on the continent of Westeros.

In the end, only the northern regions and the free people north of the Great Wall were left, and they still retain their faith in the old gods.

This is like the relationship between a bank and its depositors. Only when you establish credibility and trust in people's hearts will people continue to deposit their property with you. People's belief in the old gods is also the same.

In this case, when you no longer conform to people's universal values ​​and lose fairness and justice, you will be abandoned by others.

All these changes in the old gods are all blamed by Gao Yuan on the "shaman" of the old gods - the green prophet. According to Gao Yuan's speculation, perhaps at some time in ancient times, the green prophets who served the old gods appeared.

Got a god thief.

The old god, which has no self-awareness and has not yet been perfected, can easily become the object of stealing by the god-thief. It may not even have the consciousness and action to resist, and is just stolen by the god-thief who is a green prophet.

Those who steal the divinity and authority they represent and replace them.

This means that the current Old God is actually the Green Seer.

At first, the children of the forest living in Westeros and the ancestors who came across the sea did not realize that their beliefs had changed. It was not until the Andals who also came across the sea brought faith to this continent.

With the advent of new faiths, people who realized that their faith had changed gradually abandoned the old gods they originally believed in and chose the faith of the Seven Gods brought by the Andals.

This is also verified by the varying strengths and weaknesses of the Green Seers.

When the First Men first began to land on the continent of Westeros, the power of the Green Seers was still very powerful. In order to prevent the First Men from landing, they cast powerful magic and shattered the Arm of Dorne, forming the stone that is today.

The chain of islands.

After that, they never showed their powerful power in front of the world. The power of the old gods who lost people's belief, that is, the green prophets, gradually began to weaken, until now they can only cower in the cave.

In a cave in the land of eternal winter.

The Green Seer, who gradually loses the faith and divine power of his followers, will eventually usher in his own demise. But as a God-thief, how can the Green Seer be willing to perish in this world?

Therefore, the Green Seer, who could steal the power of the gods, set his sights on his neighbor, the cold god who was sleeping in the far north of Westeros. He wanted to imitate what he had done when he stole the power of the old god.

During the long summer season, steal the ice divinity or authority controlled by the other party from the sleeping cold god.

Based on the divinity of ice that Gao Yuan felt in the Green Prophet just now, Green Prophet's plan to steal the power of the Cold God should have been successful. At this time, he has already controlled part of the ice divinity that originally belonged to the Cold God; but it does not count.

Completely successful, because the cold god still controls most of the ice divinity and has awakened.

The angry Cold God, every time he wakes up from his slumber, will search everywhere in the far north for the hiding place of the god thief who dares to steal his own divine power.

This is why in the original book, the Cold God and his army of White Walkers will always be chasing the Green Seer north of the Great Wall. To a certain extent, the God Thief should also be regarded as the natural enemy of those gods. After all,

They can wrest the expressions and authority they control from the hands of those gods.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The antagonistic attributes between the God Thief and the Gods are determined. Even if the Green Seer is not bold enough to steal the cold god's divinity, after those gods learn that the God Thief

After knowing the abilities possessed by those who possessed them, they will also be exterminated to death.

The divine power that the Green Seer stole from the Cold God successfully prevented the Green Seer from being completely destroyed before the original plot began. The dying Green Seer used the ice divinity to forcibly renew his life, and at the same time, he also had the opportunity to explore.

The green prophet with past abilities has brought some new changes.

What kind of changes the divinity of ice has brought to the Green Seer is unclear. Gao Yuan, who has never really been in contact with the Green Seer, is still unclear. This has not been reflected before Bran succeeded the Green Seer. But at least it is certain.

Yes, after Bran became the Green Seer, the other party already had the ability to influence the past timeline. This was not Gao Yuan's random guess, but what he inferred based on the plot of the movie and TV series. In the original book, Bran went back to the past to investigate.

In the past, there have been many events that have affected past history.

When Bran first entered the Heart Tree to look back on the past, he saw Ed Stark sitting in the godswood wiping the ice. The father and son were in different time and space, but they had sex under the Heart Tree.

A simple sentence of dialogue refutes Brynden's conclusion that the Green Seer cannot communicate with people in the past.

The former Green Seer Brynden once told Bran before he entered the Heart Tree that they could not talk directly to people through the Heart Tree, whether it was when he was exploring the past or with the people standing in front of the Heart Tree now. "He heard

All he can hear is the whisper in the wind and the caressing of the leaves. No matter how hard you try, you can't speak to him."

When Bran observed the dynamics of the Night King and his army of White Walkers through the Green Vision, the Night King grabbed his arm and left ice divinity on it. The cave where the Green Seer and the Children of the Forest were hiding was exposed.

When Bran and others escaped from the cave, Bran was still stuck in the past time and space. As Mera took Bran away, she shouted at Ado who was blocking the door: "Hold the door.

door)".

Bran, who was in a state of green vision, brought Mera's call next to him to the past timeline, thus causing some mental damage to the young Ado at the time. He has since lost the ability to speak and can only repeat himself.

The incomplete syllable "Ado".

Only one person in a thousand people is a natural shapechanger, and only one person in a thousand shapechangers is qualified to become a green seer. And Bran is undoubtedly the most outstanding one among all the shapechangers, otherwise he will be far away in eternal winter.

Brynden, the current green seer of the land, will not regard him as his successor.

A gifted shapeshifter, the best successor to the Green Seer, on the day he learned that he was about to follow his father to King's Landing, he accidentally slipped and fell from a high tower. This can definitely not be explained by accident.

It is clear. It shows that behind this tragedy, there is a leading person who promoted the falling incident. It is the Greenseer who wants to prevent his long-awaited heir from leaving the North and leaving the sphere of influence of the weirwood.

Since the incident in the Haunted Forest, whenever Gao Yuan comes into contact with gods from other worlds, he always speculates on their motives with the worst possible malice. Gao Yuan guesses that what the Green Seer wants is not just to prevent Bran from leaving.

The North is so simple, and he believes that even if Bran did not follow Ed to leave the North, the Green Seer would still use similar cruel methods to make Bran unfortunately suffer an "accident" and fall into a coma.

Only in this way can the Green Seer help Bran stimulate the talent of the shapeshifter in advance; and while he is unconscious, he can draw him close to the Green Dream he created and transform into the Three-Eyed Raven to talk to him directly.

, instilling in him nonsense in his dreams like "The reason why he survived is because he has the mission to prevent the coming of winter and the invasion of the White Walkers."

When Gao Yuan woke up from the warm room, the sky outside the window was not yet bright, and the whole world was silent. The direwolf that had been disturbing their sleep a few days ago was surprisingly quiet last night. He looked curiously at the snowflakes falling outside the window,

Gao Yuan stretched his hand out of the window, and palm-sized pieces of white goose down fell on Gao Yuan's palm, feeling ice cold.

After the neatly dressed Gao Yuan put on his elf cloak and walked out of the room, he rushed straight to the stables of Winterfell. He did not forget that today was an important day for the king to return south to King's Landing.

The streets of Winterfell are filled with people. Because of the heavy snowfall last night, the city was covered with a thick layer of white quilts. Although the team going south had been ready to set off long before the heavy snowfall yesterday,

However, the sudden heavy snow caught everyone by surprise, and many carriages got stuck in the snow up to their ankles.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, the royal family members who had had breakfast in the main castle of Winterfell arrived belatedly. King Robert and his best friend Duke Stark finally appeared in everyone's sight, and the motorcade heading south

It happened that they were ready to set off at this moment. Without too many parting politenesses, many of the nobles who followed King Robert to the north were fed up with the harsh weather in the north and resolutely mounted their war horses.

, royal family members and the children of the Stark family also stepped onto the carriage.

The mighty king's team left from the Hunter's Gate to the west of Winterfell, passed through an open space outside Winterfell, walked to the edge of the Wolf Wood, and rushed to the King's Road. Accompanying this team were those who were about to head north to the desperate situation.

The night watchmen of the Great Wall will part ways with Gao Yuan's team at the north and south forks of the King's Road.

After the majestic team of 400 people walked together for several miles, King Robert and the new Prime Minister's entourage and flags turned left at the fork with the King's Road and started to go south along the King's Road, preparing to follow Bunyan and

When Jon and his nephew went to the Great Wall, Tyrion, together with his two Lannister family guards, turned around and set foot on the muddy road to the north.

Different from Bunyan and his party's short trip northward, which ended at the Great Wall, Gao Yuan's team will spend more time to reach the end of the trip south - King's Landing. Gao Yuan once asked

Other knights in the team asked how long it would take them to get to King's Landing, and the answer he got was about a month, if everything goes well.

Fortunately, since they set foot on the smooth King's Road, they no longer have to endure the torture caused by the rugged road. Gao Yuan has seen the pampered queen more than once, jumping down from the carriage and squatting.

Vomited on the roadside.

As King Robert's team slowly moved southward, the road on the King's Road became smoother and smoother, even catching up with the concrete road before crossing the high road. They were far away from the surprises that Winterfell had brought them.

It's as simple as the road surface becoming smoother, and the climate gradually becoming warmer and humid.

Where the King's Road passes, towns gradually become more numerous and densely populated. Whenever the king's team passes through these towns or is stationed in them, many curious civilians and merchants will stop.

Looking at this well-equipped and heavily armed team.

The sky full of ice and snow they saw at Winterfell has long since disappeared, replaced by a vast wilderness as far as the eye can see. Except for the sporadic narrow and low hills, there are only patches of bare gray.

Brown plain.

It was getting late when they arrived here, and the team heading south to King's Landing was still dozens of miles away from the next nearest town. Therefore, they had to stop and choose to station themselves on this desolate plain.
