Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 428 Ideology

When mentioning Agor, some residents of the world of Terra will think of the sea. Of course, there are more people who have not even heard of the name Agor.

Someone asked, what does the word Agor represent?
Those who think they have some knowledge of Terra's geography will answer him that Agor represents a piece of northern sea.

Adventurers will tell that Agor not only represents the sea area, but at the northernmost end of Sami, there is a piece of land connected to the sea, also known as Agor.

The mysterious land connected to the ocean may have cities, may have rule, or may only be barren, but it is undeniable that, going back to history, there is definitely a civilization belonging to Agor there.

Today, however, all one can look for is an ancient language that has been handed down, a complex language spoken by a very small number of people, mostly in the form of ballads, called Argo by those who cannot understand the words Erlang.

However, what Agor represents is not only sea and land, not only songs and language, but also "deep sea".

People don't know Agor, but they are familiar with the huge country of Sami.

Like Ursus, Sami is a very cold country with very short springs and summers and long autumns and winters throughout the year.

Sami's national flower is called "Xiyanhua", which is a flower that can bloom in the ice and snow.

When the flame-breathing flower blooms, the nearby ice and snow melt. An [Adventurer's Survival Handbook] once mentioned that if you lose your way in Sami's snow-capped mountains, you can even borrow the flame-breathing flower to keep warm.

The flame flower is sacred in the hearts of the Sami people. According to folklore, the flame flower is the remnant of the power after the breath of the dragon, and the dragon is a creature that can compete with the gods.

As a country where religion is very prevalent in Sami, it is not surprising that this kind of saying is spread among the people. If it is placed in Colombia, scientists will definitely use experiments and data to understand the heat dissipation principle of the flame flower.

It's just that not understanding doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The theory of gods is too outrageous, but creatures like giant dragons still have traces in today's Terra world.

The characteristics of most races in the world of Terra correspond to certain animals, such as Caprini for sheep, Lupus for wolves, Fenghoof for cattle, Ursas for bears, Kuranta for horses, and so on.

These races inherited the characteristics of the corresponding animals, and some even retained some of the habits and instincts of these animals. At the same time, these animals can also be found in the world of Terra today.

However, there are a small number of races, and the animals they represent are somewhat elusive.

Such as Sakota, Sarkaz, Vaifan, Mantico, Dragon Clan, Ghost Clan, etc.

There may be some undisclosed races, but these races all have the same characteristic, that is, these characteristics inherited by their bodies, the prototype of which is nowhere to be found in the world of Terra.

People can't see real angels in the world, let alone sky dragons and so-called ghosts, but does this mean that these things really don't exist?
The detailed history of the Terra world is only a few hundred years old, and because of the closure of information, some history is still hidden today.

There is no truth in history, the truth can be tampered with, and even those truths that touch certain bottom lines can be erased.

Therefore, no one can confidently say that these creatures existed in history, and at the same time, no one can conclude that these creatures did not exist in history.

Did it exist or did it not exist?

Judging from the existing races in the world of Terra, the truth should be biased towards the former, because if they did not really exist, where did their inherited blood come from?
Just like gods, some people think they exist, others think they are nonsense, and it is because of this disagreement that a whole new concept is born.

That is religion.

Religion is an ideology that is inevitably born on the trajectory of civilization development, and it has nothing to do with science or not.

Technology is limited, but the human spiritual world is infinite, and equally infinite, there is also the universe.

In other words, the human spiritual world is a universe, and it is also a microscopic world that cannot be more detailed.

The birth of an idea, the formation of a way of thinking, and even the so-called Three Views are all changes in this spiritual world.

However, the human spiritual world is not unified. From birth, the human spiritual world is like a newly formed universe, expanding infinitely at an explosive speed, and its trajectory is unpredictable at all.

A scientist can predict how tall a tree will grow, how long a desert will last, and even the lifespan of a planet, but he can never predict what a newborn baby will be thinking 20 years from now.

In the modern age of advanced information, this inconsistency in the spiritual world can be effectively resolved. Schools, books, parental teachings, and social polishing will build a person's three views in line with this era.

However, in an era when the prototype of civilization has not been fully formed and information interaction is completely closed, it is difficult to effectively unify the spiritual world.

People living in the Western Continent cannot tell those living in the Northern Continent what they are thinking, nor can they tell them what they think is the correct way of thinking. The scope of information dissemination and radiation is very limited.

To unify the whole world, we must first unify the same kind within reach. This unity is not a unity of behavior, but a unity of the spiritual world.

Driven by this situation, the concept of religion was born.

Some people say that religion believes in non-existent gods and uses language to incite ignorant people to follow blindly, but in the earliest times, religion was not like this.

Religions do have their own gods, but this god has its meaning of existence. As long as this god is powerful enough, it will make believers feel awe, which is conducive to accepting the ideas and thoughts expressed. There is also a professional The word is called soul.

Followers of religions believe that the soul exists.

If this religion is recognized by you and you become a devout believer, then the souls of those who share the belief will form an intercommunication, and the three views will be similar, so the external voices on major issues are basically the same. This is the power of religion. .

Through the influence of the gods, a group of messy people have achieved the unity of the spiritual world. In the process of civilization stepping from primitive to higher stage, this will generate a very big impetus on another level.

Religion is a kind of thinking, and those difficult problems that have always puzzled you will be answered, such as where you come from, the meaning of your existence, the final destination of your soul, the value of your life in this world, and so on.

The idea it spreads and erects has always been a kind of "positive energy", such as truth, goodness and beauty, God's love for the world, stopping evil behaviors and so on.

It may not be effective if you just teach it with words, but religion will give the importance of these ideas from a higher level and make you feel awe.

Therefore, religion is an ideology inevitably born on the trajectory of civilization development, and it is also the original form.

It can be found that no matter what god one believes in, no matter what rules the religion has, the core idea it conveys is the same, which is the so-called origin.

People's pursuit of soul liberation makes people awe and worship the mystery in their hearts, which constitutes the so-called belief cognition. Each sect has its own gods and myths and legends. However, the origins they pursue are different from each other. Communication is essentially a kind of spiritual sustenance.

The core idea of ​​religion will not change with the times, because its realm has surpassed time and space.

However, the original religion itself will not change, but it will be used, because it has created a very evil trick for intelligent creatures, that is, the method of unifying the spiritual world.

Sami is a country where religion is very prevalent, and there are many countries where religion is also prevalent, such as Kjerag and Yan. However, the religions of other countries are not as complicated as Sami's religion.

Over time, like the Victorian gangs, certain twisted religions sprung from the dark side of society.

God loves the world, so its believers will treat the world with a kind heart.

But if the gods of certain religions do not love the world, similarly, its followers will be twisted in their hearts and behave in what they think is right.

Of course, gods are just a concept, but in this world of Terra whose history is buried, those things that are believed to be gods may have really existed.

Perhaps in a distant era, there were no written words or records, and people could only continue them through the memories formed by songs and dictation. However, these remaining fragments captured in history today are called by the magnified believers. for god.

God does not want to save the world, but wants to destroy the world, or perhaps, the destruction in the eyes of God is a kind of salvation.
And its believers will fight for this "salvation".
