There is a characteristic of ancient Greek architecture, that is, temples and theaters often have no gates or thresholds, only a tall doorway.
They believe that citizens should have the freedom to enjoy faith and art.
This is the same as the public baths and public toilets in ancient Rome. These places do not need doors, because many people come in and out all day, and it is too troublesome to set up doors.
There is a temple in front of Death Knell and Doctor Doom, but after passing through the tall doorway and entering the dark room, neither of the two of the gods standing there know each other.
"Tsk, who is this?" Su Ming raised one eyebrow and took the cigarette from his mouth.
"Dum doesn't know, but he looks very strong." Because the statue is just a white sheet around his waist, revealing big muscles.
And there is only this statue in the entire temple, which is strange.
Logically speaking, the architectural styles are all Greek styles, and beliefs should not change.
Even though the differences between the various city-states in Greece are not small, the gods still have Zeus as the main after all. His idol should be in the center, while the other gods are on both sides.
This is the case of polytheistic beliefs. You can worship any in this system as long as you need it.
For example, if you are a soldier in Greece, you will have a long list to visit before you set out.
First of all, you must worship Zeus, after all, he is the boss; then you must worship the of war, and pray for victory in battle; worship Apollo, please bless your war horse; worship the moon god, please be accurate with your bows and arrows; worship the of fire, please Don’t have problems with your weapons; worship the of plague and pray that you don’t get sick when you go out; worship the of death, pray to be happy even if you die; worship the rat god, pray not to steal the dry food you brought to the battlefield from home, etc.
There are about thirty or forty gods involved in all aspects of warfare, and they all worship in a circle for several hours.
In ancient Greece at that time, it was not only soldiers who went out to worship, but everyone believed in this practice. Peasants must worship before they planted the land, merchants must worship before they went into business, and all kinds of people often visited the temple.
It shouldn't be like this.
"Then there is only one possibility, Adu, have you heard of the Eternal Race?"
The death knell bypassed the idol blocking the door and walked to the wider hall behind in the dark, chatting with Doctor Doom while thinking.
"Dum knows that you think this is an eternal city. They used to be part of the Greek system."
As a sorcerer, some things that are the secrets of the earth to ordinary people are not a secret to Doctor Destruction, and the existence of the eternal race is even more related to the origin of mortal beliefs. This is something that all wizards know.
"Yes, although a part of the Eternal Race went to various places after entering space, some of them stayed on the earth." Su Ming saw that there were many stone benches in the hall of the temple, and there were corpses wearing sheets on them: "Leave These eternal races of the people ran around, scattered and formed many gods in South America, Africa and the West."
Of course, not all of the second-generation gods of the earth have become eternal races.
For example, the Nordic gods are Asgardians, and they are strictly aliens.
The Celestial God System is the ancient human beings who were successful in refining Qi, raising their life level to "Xian", and later adding some aliens named "Monster" to merge into the Heavenly Court.
And so on, it’s not that few people become gods in the form of mortals. In Marvel, gods are worthless.
Have a planet-level ability, give yourself the name of God XX, and then you can fool people.
Dumu listened to the death knell and walked by his side. His magic mask also allowed him to gain night vision in a completely dark place, so he naturally saw these corpses.
As a scientist, he specializes in physics, biology, and chemistry. He immediately went to examine the corpse.
There are many convenient gadgets on his battle clothes, the technique of dissecting the corpse on the spot is also very quick, and the sample has been studied in depth.
"It is indeed an eternal race. Their appearance looks exactly the same as humans, but the energy levels contained in their bodies are completely different." Dumu straightened his waist, and covered the corpse with a broken stomach on his side with a white sheet. Face: "Why are there eternal races in negative space?"
"I guess it's the same as what happened to you. They were sucked in by accident and then built a city here." Su Ming backhanded his thumb and compared the statue at the door behind him: "I guess that one might have one. Titles like the "city builder" are worshipped as gods by later generations after death."
"Didn't that degenerate into primitive ancestor worship?" Dumu let out a chuckle, as if mocking something.
Su Ming shrugged. There are only a dozen corpses here, which is obviously not the number of people that the entire city should have, and the level of decay is a little bit high. He wants to pick a more complete brain:
"Don't look down on ancestor worship. Those worshiped as totems or ancestor souls on the earth are often ancient gods. They are much stronger than the second generation gods. By the way, do you know the cat?"
Wakanda’s leopard is a typical totem god. It knows every day that it ate and sleeps and plays games with the souls of dead people, but this does not affect its strength.
"Dumu doesn't know about black cats~EbookFREE.me~ but Dumu has heard of the legend of the Eastern White Tiger God, who is also an ancient god." Dr. Doom wiped the pus on his hands from the autopsy corpse and replied The question of death knell.
Su Ming took out the godslayer and turned it into a craniotomy, and pried it along the gap in the skull of a corpse to look inside. The brain was messed up into a snot-like sticky thing, and he dropped the corpse in disappointment. , Shook his head.
"Yes, the white tiger is also one of the ancient gods. I have seen it once. Although it has some hair loss, it is still quite fierce."
"..." Dumu didn't understand why the Supreme Mage mentioned the issue of the ancient gods' hair removal, so he remained silent.
"Well, these corpses are not fresh anymore, their brains are turned into soup, so I can't read information." The death knell moved his neck, and looked around for the last time: "I have to go to the city below the mountain to find survivors. They seem to have lived in negative space for a long time, and they should know more than us. It would be even better if they could find something like a star map."
This method of obtaining information is of course strangling, but this ability also has limitations, that is, it requires fresh brains.
"Dum did not discover the cause of their death. The result of the autopsy was that their bodies were healthy before death, and there was no sign of poisoning or illness." Dr. Doom added some information for the death knell.
He is quite clear about his position, that is, to give play to the intellectual power of his scientist.
"This question, the answer is simple." Su Ming smiled and picked up a corpse from the ground. This was a tall and strong fruit man. He stood the corpse by his side and locked the corpse's neck with elbows. The finger opened the eyelids of the deceased, revealing the half-rotted eyeballs inside: "Did you see the pupils? These people are the same, they all died of fright."
