(Maybe two chapters will be combined into one later. Smiley, please support me!!)
Allen would not know that what Redl told him about Mansa City was actually only the superficial reason for the establishment of Mansa City. The real secrets hidden deep in the city were not accessible to people of his level.
The four major civilizations in Feynman's world are distributed on two vast continents, and the only road linking the two continents is the narrow strip of Mansha Wilderness that stretches for more than ten thousand miles. As long as the main Mansha Wilderness can be mastered, it means that the throat leading to the two continents is blocked. Anyone with a little foresight can see the importance of the Mansha Wilderness.
During the tens of thousands of years since the emergence of the Mansha Wilderness, the gods behind the four major civilizations have actually been hoping to take control of the wilderness so as to prevent other gods from eroding local believers, and at the same time, It can mobilize more believers to spread the spark of faith on another continent.
But in addition, there is another system of gods in this world, which is the Temple of Nature whose mission is to maintain the balance of nature. The Temple of Nature accepts talented people and opens its doors to all races in Feynman's world, absorbing them as its followers. This is certainly an advantage, but is it not their fatal flaw?
The four major civilizations carry four powerful god systems. It is not easy for the Temple of Nature to get a share of the pie from these four major races and snatch a group of believers who originally belonged to their respective civilizations. Although the four deep-rooted gods system does not completely oppose the spread of faith in the Natural Temple and coexist peacefully with the Natural Temple, it is actually secretly suppressing the spread of belief in the Natural Temple through the ruling class and nobles. It is no secret. . On this matter, the leaders behind the four major civilization systems have reached a rare agreement.
Therefore, if they want to survive in the Feynman Plane and have their own place, the Temple of Nature can only open up a territory within their sphere of influence. The emergence of the Mansha Wilderness seems to be born to solve the problem of the Natural Temple. There is no place more suitable than the Mansha Wilderness for the dozens of gods of the Natural Temple to spread their faith and attract believers.
Most of the natives in the wilderness are disadvantaged groups in the two continents. They do not have gods of their own race. Even if one or two gods are born, they cannot compete with the god systems of the four major civilizations.
The place where the souls rest, the Wall of the Unbelieving, a prison that is said to torture the souls of the unbelieving forever, may not have existed before the gods appeared. But now that it has been created and spread by word of mouth and has been ingrained into the minds of billions of creatures on the Feynman plane, for the intelligent races that are regarded as the source of their faith, this is forcing them to choose one. The shackles of faith.
The Natural Temple is the best choice for the wilderness natives: the gods of the Natural Gods never discriminate against any indigenous people, regardless of whether they are smart or not. As long as the native race of Feynman World can accept the concept of the Natural Temple, They will be accepted as believers by the gods of nature and spread the beliefs and purposes of the gods of nature.
And the gods of the Nature Temple, because they have the many kinds of native indigenous people in the wilderness as the cornerstone, are no longer rootless duckweeds, but truly have the first place belonging to their sphere of influence and belief group. Five major gods.
Of course, for the gods of the Temple of Nature, the belief they have always admired in maintaining the balance of nature is no more suitable for them than in the wilderness, an important place that connects two continents. The population and number of powerful people in the four major civilization systems account for more than 70% of the total number in the Feynman Plane. If any two of them go to war, it means that a territory will be completely destroyed or even disappear. In Feynman's world, this is what the gods of nature do not want to see.
So, what is more consistent with the natural balance than maintaining peace among the four major systems?
Based on the Mansha Wilderness, and mediating between the four major civilization systems and the four major god systems of the real leaders behind them, this is the biggest task of the Temple of Nature since the emergence of the wilderness.
Based on this long and arduous task, Mansha City was a negotiation ground established by the nature gods in the wilderness to resolve the conflicts among the wilderness ethnic groups. It was also a hub for them to jointly resist the invasion from the two continents.
The wilderness is never peaceful. Taking the Heron Continent further south as an example, human civilization has never given up on coveting the wilderness. Even if they have actually occupied 23% of the Heron Continent’s territory, they cannot stop them from expanding the power of human civilization. footsteps and thoughts.
Compared with the powerful orc kingdom located in a corner, human civilization obviously feels that the unsystematic and unruly indigenous tribes in the wilderness are easier to bully, and at the same time, they can open up a passage to the north of Talon Continent.
For a long time, the border between the human kingdom and the wilderness has been expanding outwards. From the Griffin Castle on the border of the Hill Kingdom more than 10,000 years ago, to the current Thorny Rose City at the junction of the Rose Principality and the wilderness. The distance is already more than a thousand miles. This is the result of the endless erosion of the human kingdom into the wilderness.
After the establishment of Mansha City, the wilderness natives, under the guidance of the natural gods, established three super-large tribes of humans and horses on the grasslands on the border of the Rose Principality. They joined forces with each other to complete the blockade of human civilization. At least in these nearly ten thousand years, the territory of the human kingdom facing the wilderness has never expanded even one mile forward.
As for the borders between the other three kingdoms and the wilderness, except for the natural barrier of the Tagan Desert on the border of the Elf Kingdom, the other two borders each have a super-large wilderness indigenous tribe stationed in order to contain the four major civilizations. An invasion of wilderness to maintain nature's fragile balance.
From the beginning, the gods of the natural god system have built Mansha City into the central brain of the Mansha Wilderness, and the 113 super-large wilderness tribes it has approved and absorbed are its trunks and limbs scattered in the wilderness, maintaining Maintaining the most basic stability of the wilderness. This is like a United Kingdom with a city-state system. Mansha City is the nominal capital of this kingdom and is also responsible for negotiating and handling major events, while the more than 100 tribes below are independent city-states with great autonomy. authority, and does not directly accept the rule of Mansha City.
Of course, this is the deepest secret of the five gods system. In fact, not only does Allen have no way of knowing it, even Redel, who thinks he knows the origin of Mansha City and shows off to explain it to Allen, has no idea at all, even if he is a natural. Part of the pantheon.
No matter what, Mansha City, the pearl of the wilderness, finally revealed its unique charm in front of Allen's eyes. From the moment he set foot in this city, Allen had a higher pursuit and dream in his heart.
