The World of Deities
Chapter 536: Diversity
"The Persian gods are somewhat similar to the Greek gods. Both the new gods defeated the old gods and replaced the superior ones. This has led to the fact that these two gods can always get rid of accumulated evils and constantly add new powers. At present, the Greek gods The overall power is at the top of the four gods, simply because Zeus is the youngest of the four gods. The gods of the other three gods are always afraid, once Zeus's power reaches its peak, the other three gods However, when it declines, Zeus will inevitably swallow other gods brazenly, take arrogance, and move towards the Supreme God."
"You mean, Zeus wants to unify the four god systems?" Su Ye asked.
"It's not that he wants to unify, it's that after the decline of the other three gods, if Zeus wants to break through the king, he must do something. Of course, this is only our magician's speculation." Nideen said.
"What is the opinion of the Magic Council?" Su Ye asked.
Niedern thought for a while, and said with a look of doubt: "The masters’ opinions are surprisingly consistent. They put forward a concept of diversity. They believe that the world has proved that the gods are not only the future of mankind, but are restricting mankind. Then, mankind must find a new way out. Divine power warriors are not a way out for human beings, but more like a yoke of mankind. The magician is the present, you remember, only the current way out, but it does not mean the future way out. So, The masters believe that human beings in the four countries should coexist peacefully while maintaining this diversity, constantly communicating, and constantly trying and finding ways for mankind to find the best direction and path for each era."
"The master is indeed a master." Su Ye sighed softly.
"But...I don't quite understand." Nideen looked helpless.
Su Ye muttered in his heart, if he hadn't learned a little knowledge of ancient biology and advanced chemistry, he wouldn't understand it.
Although this world is not perfect even the most basic biological taxonomy, the ideological realm of the masters has reached the limit of human beings, and some of the mysteries of the evolution of life are secretly revealed.
"You talk about your understanding." Niedern said.
Su Ye thought that he couldn’t say too much this time, so he said: “To give the simplest example, magic was born from witchcraft. It stands to reason that Egypt, where witchcraft originated, is the most powerful country of magic, but in reality Above, all magicians now know that our Greek magicians are the strongest and represent the most correct direction. For another example, mathematics also originated in Egypt, but the branch geometry of mathematics was obtained in Rome and Greece, namely the Pan-Hellenic region. A more brilliant achievement."
"What then?" Nedern asked.
"The Egyptians firmly believed that witchcraft was a power second only to divine power, and then they walked into a dead end. But the Greeks, who did not believe that witchcraft was the only power, were willing to make various attempts and then pioneered magic. Egypt firmly believed that numbers are everything, and then Development has been stagnant for many years, and people in the Pan-Hellenic region realized the greatness of geometry on the basis of numbers, and further expanded mathematics. In a short time, we seem to be accidental things, such as the birth of magic and geometry. Observed by the scale of the scale, we can find that many are inevitable."
"I guess what the masters mean is that any person, any group, has limitations, and it is possible to enter a dead end. In order to prevent all mankind from entering a dead end, human beings must maintain diversity. Human beings must find their way in all directions. Try and make mistakes from various angles, even if it seems absurd, crazy, ridiculous, ignorant or even contrary to the mainstream. Any person or group who recognizes only one voice, only one spirit, and only one right is bound to be Walked into a dead end and eventually self-destructed. Therefore, the masters believe that the other three countries are not enemies, but pathfinders in different directions of human beings. It can even be said that each of us is trying and making mistakes for all mankind."
"So that's it, I understand." Niedern suddenly realized.
"Of course, there is another reason, cultural exchanges. We all know that the offspring of close parents are very likely to be deformed, but there are very few non-close relatives. There are only constant exchanges between different countries, different cultures, and different people. In order to derive different changes. Magic, in essence, is the result of the exchange of witchcraft and philosophy. If we recall human history, we will find that all powerful countries are not isolated and powerful, and they have all communicated with the outside world. Those countries that are closed will either break open barriers to communicate with the outside world or fall into self-destruction."
"That's it, that's it, the wisdom of the masters is really hard to match! By the way, why are you looking for me?"
Nidern asked Su Ye all about it.
The two were silent for a long time, and Su Yecai said: "I want to ask the reason for the invasion of the Persian army. It seems that you and I think the same, this is just a precursor to a large-scale battle of the gods. The battle of the gods may begin soon. Teacher. what's your plan?"
Niedern shrugged calmly and said: "Follow Master Plato and follow Plato Academy. Apart from that, I don’t know what better alternative. In other words, I believe in Plato more than myself. Master. How about you?"
Su Ye took a deep look at Nidern and said: "Just after you finished speaking, you said that you understood what the masters said, but in a blink of an eye you forgot. Attaching to the master is our instinct, but we also have to find our own direction. Maintain diversity. More than one group must maintain diversity. As individuals, we must also get used to looking at problems from different angles and maintaining diversity in all aspects."
Nidern remained silent for a long time and said, "Very well, I found the subject of the next grass-based lesson."
Su Ye couldn't help but give Nideen a white look.
Get the result, bid farewell to Nedern and walk out.
Walking to the door, Nidern's voice came from behind.
"I...maybe I have lost something, but you haven't. The future of the magician and the Greeks depends on you."
Su Ye paused slightly and left.
On this day, Su Ye did not go to the workshop, but took the carriage home, thinking about the changes in the future, thinking about the battle of the gods, thinking about how a little man himself can become a legend in the chaotic world.
Once the world is chaotic, if you only seek to survive, you will definitely not survive.
Only by pursuing something higher can we survive better.
Legend is the lowest goal.
The carriage stopped, Su Ye got off, and saw Gorro, the patriarch of the Enka family, standing at the door with a smile.
"Your Excellency Su Ye."
Su Ye nodded and entered the yard with Gorro.
"Is there another good hero item?" Su Ye asked absently.
"Your Excellency, it is not a hero item, but a god item."
"Oh?" Su Ye looked up at Gorro.
"The arrival of the two kings of Persia is well known throughout the world. Some nobles or large merchants panicked and began to sell their collections on a large scale. Tomorrow night, the North Wind family will hold a large-scale aristocratic fair, which is much larger than our previous visits. The fair is big."
"What about the god items?"
"The North Wind family has already let out the wind, saying that an aristocratic family who does not want to reveal their lives wants to move to the east coast and is preparing to sell a statue, the old god's blood statue.
Su Ye's eyes widened, and immediately converged, nodded, and said, "If it's really a statue of God's blood, it's a good thing. What's the estimate?"
"Look at the status of the old god. If it is an ordinary old god statue, it is worth about 1 million golden eagle. If it is a god blood statue of an old god at the main god level, it may be worth more than 2 million golden eagle. If it is a god king level, then I’m not sure. The most expensive statue of God’s blood in history, with an auction price of more than 2 million gold eagles, is a statue of the great God-cutter Kronos, of course, it’s still broken."
"God-cutter? This nickname is really straightforward. I will definitely go tomorrow, even if I don't buy it, I'll have to see the legendary statue of God's blood. Besides, are there other good collections?"
"I don't know yet, but many nobles and big merchants will inevitably sell a large amount of collections at low prices. You'd better prepare more golden eagles."
"How much is appropriate?" Su Ye asked.
"At least 3 million golden eagles."
"Oh, you don't need to prepare." Su Ye said.
Gorro looked dull.
"But in order to prevent accidents, I will contact Nader first and ask him to prepare a batch of cash for me." Su Ye said, sending a magic letter to Nader.
After a long time, Gorrow said: "I am preparing for tomorrow’s itinerary now. If you have anything you need, you can tell me in advance. In addition, unlike ordinary trade fairs, this kind of temporary large-scale selling trade fair, There is a'sweeping' sale, which means that you point out a certain price and buy all the seller's goods in one go. If you encounter a nobleman who is eager to sell, you will make a lot of money, but if you encounter a profiteer, you must be careful.
"There is this way? Then I will prepare some golden eagles." Su Ye said.
"You... are incredibly rich." Gorrow praised enviously.
On the second day, Su Ye studied important courses of Plato Academy in the morning, magic creation in the afternoon, and in the evening he rode Hill’s carriage, arrived at Gorrow’s house, got on Gorrow’s carriage, and went directly to the North Wind Family Fair. on site.
As usual, Su Ye used a magic mask with deep eye sockets, a high hooked nose, and a black beard on his chin hanging down to his chest. He looked like a typical Persian, but he was still dressed in a Greek.
"Su...Your Excellency Aladdin, this fair not only attracted the nobles in Athens, but also attracted many nobles and their agents in Northern Europe, Persia, and Egypt. Not surprisingly, the major forces are like hungry wolves. Search for prey." Gorro said.
"Are they optimistic about Persia or Greece?" Su Ye asked.
"Most people are optimistic about Persia, but after all, our gods are stronger, so the final result should be the victory of Persia on the ground, but the victory of Greece in heaven. However, even so, most people believe that Greece will usher in a decades-long depression. ."
Su Ye nodded. These people's eyes were indeed old-fashioned. At the end of the Hippo War, although Persia was driven away by the Greeks, the vitality of Greece was greatly injured. After that, the internal struggle between Sparta and Athens became the last one to crush the camel. The straw, in the end, Greece completely declined, was picked up by Macedonia, and achieved the miracle of Alexander the Great.
However, the direction of this world is different. Even if Greece is temporarily defeated and its vitality is severely injured, there will be no large-scale internal fighting.
As for the future direction of Greece, it is completely unpredictable whether Alexander will be the king, Hercules will be the god, or Rome will annex Greece.
Because the destiny of mankind is in the hands of gods.
"Anyway, look for opportunities to have a good relationship with the big guys, such as Alexander, what Hercules, what Rome's Big Three, meet all of them."
Finally, the carriage stopped.
After getting off the carriage, Su Ye was stunned.
Arena of Athens.
Where I have fought.
