"May the great King of the Abyss bless you." The farmer drew an old seal on his chest and said, and at the same time pointed out the way to the city of Uzza to Tiera——
It was already noon when Tiera arrived at the city of Uzzah.
With the farmer's guidance, Tiera quickly found the majestic stone bridge across the Skye River——
This stone bridge was built more than 1,300 years ago. When the stone bridge was built, the city's masons and high priests sealed a living person as a sacrifice in the central pier.
After crossing the bridge, more and more cats began to appear, and the bold Zurgs who followed Tiera had to turn back in front of the stone bridge——
Because if they dare to step onto the stone bridge, those cats will immediately tear out their throats——
This is the city of Ultha, a sacred place ruled by cats, and the dark and ugly monsters of the enchanted forest are not allowed to enter.
After crossing this stone bridge, cats began to appear around him frequently——
Gradually, Tiera arrived at the outskirts of Ursa City, where there were light green farmhouses and fields surrounded by neat fences.
But what makes people feel more pleasant is the quaint town itself——
There are ancient pointed roofs, many floors protruding from small buildings hanging above the road, countless chimney pipes, and narrow mountain alleys——
Through the gaps between them and the large groups of cats wandering in these streets, Tiera saw the ancient cobblestones paved on the alleys.
Tiera carefully bypassed the group of cats and walked directly to the temple dedicated to the old gods——
It is said that the priests and the ancient records stayed in this simple and unpretentious temple.
Tiera climbed up to the highest hill in Ursa. On the top of this hill sat a majestic round tower, and in this stone tower wrapped with ivy, Tiera found the great Elder Attar.
The elderly priest once climbed the tabooed peak of Hatig-Kola in the gravel desert and returned alive.
Attar sat on an ivory podium, which was placed in a shrine decorated with colorful flowers at the top of the temple. This old man is already three hundred years old, but he still has extremely sharp thinking and clear memory.
Tiera bowed respectfully to Atal, offered moonshine wine, a specialty from the Enchanted Forest, and made a request to Atal that she wanted to trade with the cat tribe.
Tiera showed the elder priest Attar Peter Pettigrew's ability to transform into a mouse -
This ability of his aroused the interest of the cats, and all the cat tribe next to the Simple Temple were attracted——
It was a shocking sight. Tiera had never seen so many cats. Black, gray, white, yellow, tabby, mottled, ordinary domestic cats, Persian cats, Isle of Man cats, Tibetan cats, Angora cats, Egyptian cats, etc...
After the cats showed enough interest, Tiera made her trade request like an enthusiastic salesman——
But unfortunately, Ursa's cats rejected Tiera's request.
Except during times of war, there was no reason for any cat to approach the desecrated land of the Cold Plateau.
They are the subordinates of Buster, the goddess of war and family. They naturally hate the Cold Plateau and the moon beast clan living on the Cold Plateau.
"Okay, thank you very much for your time." After the transaction failed, Tiera asked the next question, "Great and learned priest, I have a question to ask you."
"Please tell me," Atal replied.
"The gods of earth, also known as the gods of dreams. They were originally the native gods of the earth, but now they rule the dreamland, but they are far less powerful than the old rulers, and their intelligence is even lower than that of most humans. They are in Under the protection of the great Chaos, they moved to Kadath deep in the Cold Plateau, where they lived for fun all day long. They once lived on the tops of mountains all over the world, but as the humans on the plains ascended these The rocky and snow-covered slopes forced them to leave these mountains until they left the earth and came to the Dreamland. Is this history real?" Tiera asked.
"Yes." Atal replied, "You also want to explore the place where the gods are?"
"No, I don't have any interest in Kadasi. I just want to trade the pillar copper, flowing silver and sky gold with the moon beast clan on the moon." Tiera said, "I just have a few questions to think about. Asking you, don’t worry, these are just out of simplicity..."
"Purely academic purposes." Tiera said.
At this time, an orange kitten climbed onto the edge of Tiera's gray robe——
Tiera picked up the little orange cat and stretched out her hands to stroke the smooth fur on his head, belly and back.
Atal seemed a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, but said generously:
"Okay, please ask."
"Thank you." Tiera bowed politely, and then asked:
"If it's convenient, I would like to know when did the gods of the earth leave the earth?"
Atal closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said:
"About... six thousand revolution years ago."
That is, more than six thousand years ago...
Tiera understood, and then asked:
"But since then, the mythology of the earth has not been cut off. Even -" Tiera paused and then said, "Even the fanatical single-god religion gradually replaced the classical mythology of a hundred schools of thought and ruled most of the earth. area."
"Yes, that's right." Atal replied.
"So I want to ask, after all the ancient gods came to the Dreamland, were there some extremely powerful new gods born on the earth?" Tiera asked.
"To be precise... there are, but not many." Atal replied with a smile, "Or, very few. All the gods, like you, came to the dreamland and went to the back of the moon to fight with the moon beast. A people trade in the copper of the pillars, the silver of the liquid, and the gold of the sky.”
"This is the only path to becoming a god," Atal said. "This is the only way to permanently reside in the divine dimension."
"As far as I know, the most distant self-god is a traveler named Hermes about 3,700 years ago."
"Then that god who lived more than six thousand revolution years ago..." Tiera asked again.
"Hehe..." Atal stroked his beard and smiled, "With your intelligence and profound knowledge, you should be able to think of it."
"Devil..." Tiera said.
"Yes." Atal said, "When the ancient gods moved to Dreamland, those dirty beings poked their heads out from the dark corners and stared at this fertile land..."
"...They are like monkeys wearing human clothes, imitating the images of ancient gods, and in a comical manner, playing gods in front of primitive humans..."
"...Most demons are filled with stupid desires, but there is only one... only one, only one demon. He is so rational that he finds an alternative way to imitate the gods of the earth. The path to becoming a god.”
"hwhy..." Tiera slowly read out the four-character "god's name".
Atal took a sip of wine, nodded, and continued:
"But he did not become a god in the end, but became a false god...a powerful... two-dimensional demon with the characteristics of the fourth dimension..."
