Chapter 490 The real pantheon of gods
"Dang, Dang, Dang." The low bell sound was very penetrating, reaching Shuer's ears across the isolation of the wall. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside the window, and the bright sunshine filtered through the colored glass of the sacred hall. The window reflected into the room, casting the shadow of the carved window frame in front of Shuer's bed.

It's strange, really strange. As a priest, Xiure has developed a good life routine in the past five years. He will always wake up before five o'clock every day, unless there are special reasons, such as sleeping on an unspeakable pillow. Apart from this unexpected situation for nearly ten days, no matter how tired I was the day before, I would wake up on time the next morning. In the past few years, I had never slept until dawn.

What’s even stranger is the sound of the bells. The Pantheon does have a bell tower, and there are also copper bells whose sound can be heard throughout the city, but they never ring. There’s no way around it. The main facilities of the Pantheon are made up of the divine power of the gods. , the same is true for the bronze bells. The power from the gods is gathered on them. No mortal can ring it, and the mortal world cannot bear it. It can be said that if the bronze bells of the temples ring, the entire Parvatiga will be affected, and something will happen. Unpredictable changes.

But today, two impossible things happened at the same time, and anyone should be surprised.

However, Shuer didn't feel strange at all. Everything was as he expected. He just stared at the sunshine outside the window for a while, then showed a knowing smile and slowly started washing and tidying up as usual.

The bell rang a few times before dissipating, and the surrounding area fell into silence. The surrounding area was as quiet as if it was frozen. There was no sound at all. Every movement of Xiure, even just breathing, made a sound that was extremely clear, as if it could be heard. All the temples heard the same.

However, Shuer did not become tiptoeing because of this. He even hummed an unknown hometown tune while washing himself. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy the silence and did not even bother to think about the reasons for the silence.

After cleaning up his body, putting on a brand new Dark Moon Holy Robe, and taking a look in the half mirror on the wall, Shuer nodded with satisfaction, took nothing, and walked out of the Sacred Palace easily with his hands behind his back. hall.

I didn’t meet anyone along the way, and there was no one in the Sacred Hall. It can be explained by the fact that Lisa and the others all had something to do and returned to the Rose City to deal with it. But even if they opened the door and walked into the temple, There was no one on the main street, which was unusual at all.

Although the population of the Temple of Gods is not large, and it cannot be called a big city, the streets are still quite lively with priests coming and going, especially during the day. It is impossible to see them like this all the time. In terms of people's situation, if the surrounding scenery has not changed, it will really make people doubt whether this is still the temple of the gods.

Yes, this is the Pantheon.The more special it is, the more confident Shuer is that this is the Pantheon, the real Pantheon.

The Temple of Gods is not a city built, but a city formed by the will of the gods gathered together and condensed. It does not exist in the mortal world, but is directly formed in the mortal world in the form of projection. To describe it directly , the city where the priests live their daily lives is actually just a projection.

Since there is a projection, there must be a body. Xiuer knows that what he is now is exactly this body, the real temple of the gods, and he himself is not an entity, but a will, as he has been summoned by Lord Luna several times in the past. A specific form manifested with the help of divine power.

As for why everything in the city is the same as what he saw before going to bed yesterday, there are many reasons to explain, and Shuer is too lazy to analyze them one by one. It is probably related to personal cognition.After all, the temples belonging to the gods are beyond the scope of mortal understanding. In order to take care of Shuur, a mortal, so that he will not have psychological shadows due to contact with incomprehensible beings, we can only use Shuuer's cognition as a reference, which is probably different. When people stand here, they will see different temples.

"Praise the Lord, praise all the saints." After confirming everything, Shuer straightened his back, drew a circle with his fingers on his chest with the understanding of the Dark Moon Church, showed a holy smile on his face, and bowed to the place where the bell rang. Salute.Of course, no one responded to the empty streets, but Shuer didn't expect anyone to respond to him. After saluting, he turned to the direction of the clock tower, which was in the middle of the city, a place known as the sacred place.

In the mortal pantheon, the sacred place is just a large open space with no buildings and no decorations. It is just like a mortal city square, but it is much larger than the city square.

However, the residents of the Temple of Gods would not just wander around in the square. In fact, almost no one sets foot in that square all year round. Even if there are people who need to pass there, they will choose to go around it. That is, Only the workers responsible for cleaning the square every day will enter the bar, and even if they do, they will clean it as quickly as possible and then leave immediately.

It's not because everyone is afraid of anything, but to remain humble to the gods, because this empty field is a truly sacred place. The eight gods in 920 each split a trace of divine power to form the temple of the gods, and the divine power condensed together first formed the main hall of the temple of the gods, and then formed the eight sacred halls of 920.For this city, the main temple is the hub of the entire city, a symbol of the city, and a symbol of the covenant of the gods. The main temple, which symbolizes the covenant of the gods, is located in this sacred area. The land, of course, refers to the 'real' sacred place of the pantheon.As for this city in the mortal world, the divinity of the main hall is too strong, not only because it is formed by the condensation of divine power, but also because the wall of gods listing the true names of the gods is right at the entrance of the main hall. It really wants to be projected onto the mortal world. The world, whether it is the mortal world or the mortals in the city, cannot bear it, so it can only be left blank.

The priests naturally knew these secrets. In order to show their respect, even if it was just an empty square, they would never step in easily, which meant that mortals dare not set foot on the land of the gods to offend the gods.

But Shuuer doesn't have to worry about offending the gods. I'm a mortal with an invitation letter, so it's not considered trespassing wherever I go.The invitation did not clearly state the time and place of the summons, but there was no need to specify such a thing in the first place. Since he woke up now, it meant that the time for the summons was now. As for the location, since the summons was in the name of the gods, then There could be no other place besides the main hall.

Leisurely walking through the streets, Xiu Er is not in a hurry at all. Here, the will of the gods represents everything. If the gods are really anxious to see him, then the place where he appears will never be the Hall of the Dark Moon It is the bedroom of the main hall, but the entrance of the main hall. Now that I have given myself time to prepare, it means that the gods can tolerate it. In this case, how can I not look around more, especially after entering the main hall? It’s time to visit. After all, in every sense, I am the first mortal visitor here.

Indeed, there is an essential difference between mortals and gods. Since the establishment of the temples of the gods, there has been no record of mortals setting foot in the main hall. Believers may be like Xiuer, summoned by the gods they believe in to meet the gods when they are alive, but absolutely It is impossible to enter the main hall of the sacred place, it is impossible to even get close, let alone go around the wall of God.

If you have the opportunity, you must seize it, otherwise if Lisa asks you when you go back and you can't answer it, it will really lose the dignity of your brother. Even if it is for Lisa, you must look at it carefully.

But he immediately regretted it, because he found that there was no value in watching it.

Shuer can be sure that the gods have made preparations in advance for his visit, because as soon as he entered the main hall area, everything changed.The gods can no longer build an environment with the help of his knowledge. After all, mortals know nothing about this area, so they can only face Shuur in the original image of the main hall.

Therefore, everything Xiuer saw, including the wall of gods inscribed with the true names of the gods, and the main temple entangled with divine power, he could not understand at all. The existence of those things was beyond the scope of cognition of a mortal Xiuer.

There is only a multi-dimensional space around, and strange lights and shadows are constantly flashing through the space. Strange words and graphics keep appearing and disappearing. Various constantly changing images go from clear to distorted, and then from distorted to clear again. In between Repeat the cycle.Unobservable, incomprehensible, even...indescribable, Shuer discovered that human language is so pale and feeble. Even if he wanted to repeat everything he saw to others, he couldn't. Parvatija's language had no One word could describe what he saw before him.

Standing there blankly, Xiure even forgot to move forward. No, it should be said that he could no longer understand where to move forward, so he could only stay where he was and sigh deeply.No wonder the scenes outside were constructed using my own cognition. If I really let myself face the original appearance of the city, I'm afraid that after I return to the mortal world, I will feel deep pressure every time I enter and exit the temples.Fortunately, Shuer is a high-level priest with a mind as strong as steel. Even when faced with things beyond his cognition, he can still deal with them calmly. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be sluggish if he only saw the scene in front of him. Bar.

"The problem is... I'm lost." Even at this time, Xiuer was still in the mood to entertain himself. Although he stood still and couldn't move, he still curled his lips and said to himself, "Theoretically, , This should be the main entrance of the main hall, you have to go in, you can’t let more than 900 holy spirits stand around me and have a meeting at the entrance, tsk tsk, that scene is too funny.”

"The theory you mentioned is just the theory of mortals, Xiuer." A familiar voice sounded in his ear, with the power that made Xiuer feel at ease, "Here, it doesn't matter whether you are inside or outside the door. You have entered now. The true pantheon, a world where mortals have never set foot.”

“Praise the Lord, praise the Holy Spirit!”

　Someone asked me if I was afraid of the sanction of the goddess. Just kidding, how could I be afraid? Let me tell you, no matter how bad I said about her, she would not be able to escape from the screen.
