Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 28 The Ancients and the Prophecy
When everyone was sitting down in the reception room, Professor Abtis, who was leaning at his desk, seemed to be back in class, teaching to the students.

This is what he said for the first time:

"In the late Archean Era, about 25 billion years ago, a war broke out in this world."

Watch looked at Abtis's face and said with a smile:
"Professor, was the war 25 billion years ago a war between single cells? I think that war might have had no impact on the entire world."

Abtis laughed and said: "My students once said the same thing. However, I have to reveal some secrets to you so that you won't be too surprised when we confirm the belief in the evil god."

Amanda hurriedly focused her attention. It seemed that the professor from this college had something to say.

"As we all know, 12 years ago, the patrol in your town, led by the then police chief, eliminated the cultists who were looking for Raleye. They also witnessed the so-called ritual of summoning the evil god to come in person. At that time, they killed Many people, but the ritual did not succeed. You all know that cultists have the means to sacrifice flesh and blood to gain some abilities. However, after the victims who were killed as sacrifices died, the ritual did not succeed. .So, these cultists will definitely find the opportunity to come back here to seek the reason.”

Sheriff Black said in a deep voice: "We can all understand these. We just want to understand the essence of that kind of sacrifice and then getting power. Is there really any evil god, a mess of things."

Abtis smiled and said: "Evil gods naturally do not exist. The so-called gods are just our instinct to find a reason for some incomprehensible and unexplainable things and behaviors. For example, there is something that can respond to the sacrifices of cultists, and then Grants ability, but cannot be summoned directly. The day we don’t see the essence of that thing, the day we won’t be sure whether God really exists. And after research in the academy, we found that there are cultures with different beliefs in gods, and even completely different gods. The power represented responds to believers in the same way.”

Abtis stopped, took out the cigarette case from his arms, and asked, "Do you mind if I smoke?"

No one said anything. The professor lit a cigarette and continued:
"That method is flesh and blood sacrifice. In other words, the so-called sacrifices and responses of all gods are the same. There are two explanations for this. One is that this is the essence of the so-called belief in gods. To give a person who we cannot If you sacrifice organic matter to something you understand, you will get something in return. We regard this incomprehensible thing as a god, and use our own understanding to crown it with various gods. This situation is easy to handle, even if the existence of God is really confirmed. , then there is only one God. The monotheistic church undoubtedly hopes that this kind of thing will happen the most, but how to explain the evil behavior of sacrificing flesh and blood depends on how they deal with it, haha——"

Abtis blew out a smoke ring and after darkening the church as per the academy's practice, his eyes became serious and he said:
"The second explanation is a bit hard to accept, especially since we have developed civilization."

Amanda blurted out: "Those various gods really exist, and they do have the ability to grant blessings. As long as they find the right way, anyone has the risk to learn to imitate these ways and achieve their own goals!"

Abtis nodded and said: "Yes, that's the case. However, based on the academy's ongoing exploration, we are more inclined to the first explanation. It's just that this kind of existence represents different concepts in different civilizations and different periods. In our internal research, more and more evidence shows that the existence of the flesh and blood sacrifice is an alien creature, but we cannot understand the form of its existence for the time being. All this is still the realm of science."

Blake was a little confused and asked: "After talking so much, Professor, we still don't understand the source of the power used by those enemies. Can you make it simpler?"

Abtis came back to his senses and said: "Sorry, let me explain it this way. 25 billion years ago, there was an alien creature called the Ancient One, and there was a war with other alien creatures that came to the earth later. This war created The existence that responded to sacrifices of flesh and blood, and all traces of cult rituals began at that time. However, with the development of the civilization cycle, in our era, this form has declined, and it is not as powerful as before. That existence In another 200 years, maybe I will be dead and will never respond to the call of believers. At that time, our scientific progress will make rapid progress, completely eradicate ignorance and superstition, and bring mankind into a world where people believe in science. The age of truth.”

"So, even if we don't deal with these things, in one or two hundred years, these cult beliefs will decline on their own?"

Blake muttered, which was a good thing.

The professor smiled and said: "I've heard about you, Sheriff Black. This is not something your character would say. You should be eager to catch those who do bad things and teach them a lesson." "

"Okay, this is the background of the so-called supernatural power. It's actually not that difficult to understand. Moreover, those guys called the Ancient Ones left behind prophecies before they disappeared. Maybe they were just made up by researchers of later generations, but you can refer to them. , that is: when the liquid underground is used as fuel and the lightning in the sky is used as energy, all illusions will be shattered. I think we will see that day soon."

Amanda kept this sentence in mind, which was obviously talking about oil and power resources.

And this is indeed the core technical resource for a new industrial revolution after steam boils water.

That being said, this world is quite interesting.

The old days and the evil gods will eventually fall into disgrace. What these cultists are doing is to use their arms as a chariot and roll forward against the wheel of history.

On the way to send the professor to rest, Wach was obviously very interested in these theories, and was talking with the professor cordially.

Blake was at the back of the team and asked, "Amanda, how much can you understand what this professor said?"

Amanda pretended to think and said:
"It's like a mother feeding her child. As long as you cry, you will come to feed her. But as the child grows up, if you cry again, you will be spanked. But some people hope that they can just stop crying. During the period of being fed, she pretends to be a child in some way, but sooner or later the mother will pass the lactation period and will no longer have milk to feed her."

Blake smiled knowingly and said:

"I think you didn't eat enough milk when you were young, and you still have this kind of thought in your heart when you grow up. When you grow up, find a girl and you can eat enough."

Amanda was a little embarrassed, he really didn't have many memories of being breastfed.

This body can open its eyes, but with a bottle in its mouth, there is no wet nurse to breastfeed it.Among the children in the church welfare home, he was the most inconspicuous one.

Maybe, there is really resentment in this regard?
