Chapter 123 God Statue
The black stone gate is the same height as the corridor, and the surface is carved with complex patterns. You can vaguely feel the signs of energy flowing in it, but you can't explain the principle. It seems that the gap between the two different worlds is quite large.

"Boom, boom, boom", Moback and Xiure moved to the left and right, and the two extremely heavy stone doors opened easily without using too much force.

The moment the door was opened, abundant elemental energy rushed towards us, the concentration was much higher than that of the outside environment, making one feel as if immersed in an ocean of energy.

Behind the black stone gate is a hall that is difficult to explain architecturally.

The hall itself is also tapered on four sides, like a reduced square tower. The height cannot be measured visually. Due to light limitations, the pointed top of the room is beyond the visible range. It can only be judged from the inclination of the walls. The interior height is close to [-] meters.

The inner walls all slope inward at the same angle, and the four inner walls form a complete hall. There is not a single pillar inside. The Shadow Chasers simply cannot understand how the lizard people ensure that the hall will not collapse without support points.

Of course, this is not important, what is important is the scene in the hall.

There was a serious deviation in Xiure's estimation. There was a dead silence in the hall. There were no bones, no gods, no living creatures, and nothing that could pose a threat to the Shadow Chasers.

"Hoo", at the same time as the door opened, countless lights lit up in the hall. There were lighted oil lamps on the walls, the floor, and everywhere, making the room as bright as daylight, and you could see everything clearly.

As soon as you enter, the most important thing you can't ignore is the four seats facing the door.

Of course, there is nothing that cannot be ignored about the chair, but if it is a stone chair more than 20 meters high, it is another matter.The four stone chairs are all of the same height and placed in a fan shape in the center of the hall.

Of course, there are not only stone chairs. Except for one that is vacant, the other three stone chairs are all occupied by people. To be precise, they are sitting on stone statues, which are huge stone statues that should have an upright height of more than 40 meters.

The stone statues are no strangers. Everyone has seen them in the illusion and in the square outside. They symbolize the gods of the world's local gods.But it has been a few days since they entered the alien projection, but this is the first time for the Shadow Chasers to see them sitting on chairs.

Different from the ones seen in the illusion, these statues are all dressed in luxurious robes and have crown-shaped stone crowns on their heads. Compared with the illusion, the current statues are more majestic.

"Concentrate and prepare for war." However, after seeing the statue, Shuer's face suddenly became very ugly, and he quickly issued an order to prepare for war. This was the first time that his teammates had seen their captain acting so nervous.

Two seconds, this is the time it takes for the Shadow Chasers to go from being loose to being able to handle high-intensity battles.

In the blink of an eye, three melee professions and four Xiures who can be close or far occupied four points, surrounding the long-range professions in the center, while the three long-range professions stood in a triangle on the inner layer to protect them. After seeing the client Kelly in the center and the white wolf who was always following her, the female pastor had not yet reacted. She looked around blankly and then realized the changes in her surroundings.

"Captain, what's going on?" The dwarf raised his shield, hunched his back and lowered his center of gravity. This was the best defensive posture that could withstand strong impact at any time. However, the expected attack did not come, and the hall remained as silent as before. As if solidified.Everyone maintained a vigilant posture, but there was no one to be vigilant about.

"Shh." Xiure remained motionless, only looking around with his eyes, trying hard to find anything wrong, but luckily, he found nothing.

"The alert level has been temporarily lowered. I hope it's just me who is overly sensitive." Finally focusing on the statue, Shuer said slowly, "Kelly, you are also a pure priest. Do you feel it?"

"Feel what?"

"Then it's nothing." Shuer squinted his eyes and shook his head, his eyes full of doubts, "Cancel the war preparation order for the time being and maintain a compact formation."

"What's the matter, boss." The halfling asked the doubts in his heart at this time, "I didn't find anything unusual, what's wrong with you from the statue?"

"No? Haha, have you ever seen a statue of a god that can change clothes and posture?"

Of course not. The statue symbolizes the god and must be approved by the god. Once approved, no changes can be made. The clothing, appearance, and posture must be consistent with the statue approved by the god. Otherwise, the stone statue will be completely Pointless.

Therefore, it is impossible for the statue of the same god to change clothes or change posture. This is very strict in the teachings of any church and must not be violated.

Everyone knows the truth, but the time they saw the statue was too short, and they were not as sensitive to theological theories as Shuuer, so they didn't react for a while. After being reminded by him, they discovered something was wrong. "Eh? But the mother's statue is not fixed." Moria said slowly, "I have seen several statues with different postures in McCann Forest."

"That's the problem." Shuer sighed, "How many types of gods are there?"

"Well, there are probably three types." Moria was not sure at all. This kind of thing was too complicated, and she didn't bother to study it.

"Well, there are three types."

In Parvatiga, or in other words, in all the worlds that shadow chasers come into contact with, the gods are roughly divided into three types.

The first is the original gods. They represent concepts that have existed since the beginning, such as gods such as the Earth Mother, the Dark Moon, the Silver Moon, the Sun, and the Ocean. Although it is not known when they were personified by faith, the concepts they symbolize run through The beginning and end of the world.

The second type is belief in gods. They appeared after the birth of intelligent creatures, and the laws they represent are also based on the world of intelligent creatures, such as knowledge, wisdom, justice, contracts, music, etc.

In addition to these two kinds, there is a third and most special kind of deity.

The third type of gods, like the original gods, also existed in Parvatiga from the beginning of creation, but they are not without the concept of consciousness. From the beginning, they belong to the category of living creatures.These creatures are companions of the world, and are extremely rare in number. Most of them do not age, and some do not even have the concept of death. The Parvatiga people usually call them divine creatures.

Divine creatures are not gods, but after gaining faith, it is very easy to condense their divinity and become gods. For example, the strongest god of war, Fergus, is said to be some kind of divine creature on the Arctic ice sheet, and the forest goddess Anika The same is true. They are also born as divine beings, but there is no way of knowing what their true form is. I am afraid only the eternal and original gods know it.

"Sir Anika can change her image because she is a divine creature and has a true body image. As long as her true body image does not change, Sir Fergus can also change the shape of her armor." Shuer sighed, " Other gods do not have their own images, so they have fixed requirements for the shape of their statues.”

"So, do you think the four here are also conferred gods by divine beings?" Mia quickly understood Shuer's thoughts.

"I hope not, but I must admit that this is the only explanation. Moreover, although it is the earth that gave birth to the water source, it is a bit exaggerated to say that an infant was born from faith, unless she If there were a real baby state, it would be easier to explain.”

"So?" Mia asked, "What do you want to explain?"

"Some divine creatures... exist in the mortal world." Shuer said with a wry smile, "For example, Lord Fergus."

Shuer is right. Some of the gods who were made gods by divine beings directly turned into nothingness after being made gods. However, a small part of them still retained their true bodies, but they fell into an eternal sleep after their consciousness was separated.Just like the god of war Fergus, it is said that his body is still sleeping under the thousand-meter ice layer of the Far North Icefield.

"Although theoretically, the abandoned bodies of these physical gods cannot withstand the consciousness of gods, so they can never wake up again, but this is just a theory. Even other gods cannot guarantee that they have no other way to control them. Use your own body to rejuvenate your body. Whether it can be done and how to do it are secrets that only such gods know."

"No way, Captain, you mean, these, these..." Moback, who was closest to the stone statue, unconsciously took half a step back, and even his voice became a little dry, "Do you think they are the true bodies of those gods?"

"Well, it's very possible." No matter how much Xiuer calculated, it was impossible to think that these things would be encountered in the square tower. This is beyond the scope of what mortals can handle. Not to mention the seven golden-rank shadow chasers, even if seven demigods stand here in line, it is impossible to defeat each other.

In fact, everyone has already believed most of it. Everyone knows that with Xiure's character, it is impossible for him to talk nonsense at this time. Now that he has said it, he must be certain. However, this news is so shocking that it is indeed difficult for people to accept it.

"Even if it's true, there's nothing to be afraid of." Militi lowered her voice subconsciously. Necromancers are the most ungrateful believers in gods, so they can still remain calm when it comes to issues involving gods. "The stone statue has arrived. Aren't they still motionless now? It means they must still be sleeping, so there is no need for us to scare ourselves."

"Oh, haven't you noticed it yet?" Shuer sighed and said helplessly, "Can any of you tell me who would be so bored as to carve an empty chair in such a solemn temple? If it wasn't so boring People, then...where did the fourth statue go?"

The sitting black female stone statue does not hold a baby in its hands. In other words, there are four chairs but only three stone statues.
