Chapter 106 Legend
At dinner, Cozan talked about the origins of the three great faiths …

The temple originated in the Far East. According to legend, a monk traveled to the place and combined with the tribal civilization there to create the faith of the temple. Afterwards, he took in hundreds of disciples and built the original temple. Hundreds of years later, a ninth generation disciple of the monk traveled to the snowy ice plains, spread the flames of faith to the local tribes, and led them away from the icy plains, where life was difficult, to land on the northern continent. In order to respect the birthplace of the temple faith, the disciple named this place the Northern Temple.

Thousands of years later, the temples in the east and the temples in the north developed separately, forming different cultural traditions. There are two types of temples in the East: the Outer Hall and the Inner Hall, and there are two types of believers. Monks who live outside temples and visit their ancestors regularly or pray to the gods and buddhas are called “monks.” Monks who live inside temples and worship their ancestors and “motionless kings” are called “monks.” Monks usually shave their hair, point incense scars and cultivate. Some are devout, abstain from lust and eat vegetarian food.

It was said that the Yunyou monk who went to the Northern Wilderness Continent that year was a disciple of the Outer Hall and hadn’t read much of the Temple’s Scriptures. Therefore, he only brought the ancestral worship of the temple to the north, while the Buddhist faith remained in the Far East. Later, with the progress of human civilization, the communication between the east and the north gradually increased. Normally speaking, the northern temples should learn from the orthodox Oriental temples and recover the lost faith of the gods and buddhas. However, the Far East had been barren since ancient times. After the two sides came into contact, most of them were from the north to support the east, transporting ships after ships of grain.

The so-called man-eating softness of mouth, as the birthplace of the Eastern Divine Temple, in turn, moved closer to and learned from the northern Divine Temple, changing many of the original traditions. The Buddhist faith only retained the worship of the five Divine Buddhas of the Immovable Ming King, the Nine Heavenly Dragon God, the Qilin Fireworks, the Phoenix Holy Maiden, and the Black Tortoise.

Later, the two temples merged. The Eastern Divine Temple was named the Ancient Era’s Bloodline, which implied the inheritance of the Divine Temple from the Ancient Era. The Northern Divine Temple was named the Brilliant Bloodline, which implied the growth and development of the Divine Temple.

After saying the origin of the temple, Cozan mentioned the origin of Notre Dame and the Temple. At this time, he fully embodied the qualities that a Fraud should possess. In describing other religions, although his tone was calm, his attitude was correct, and he seemed to analyze the problem from an objective point of view, in reality, it was difficult to conceal his contempt and ridicule for other religions between the lines.

Notre Dame originated in the western continent. In ancient times, the primitive people of the western continent worshipped the power of nature very much. They imagined the moon, the sun, lightning, flames, wind and rain and other natural phenomena as their gods. At that time, the primitives of the Western Continent lived in caves. Therefore, they thought that their gods should also live in the cave, and it was the highest cave, so there was the legend of the Gods Mountain Peak.

Just like that, faith gradually developed in the Western Continent …

However, among the five great plates of the world, the primitive man in the western continent was the latest to be civilized and had been in the matriarchal society for the longest time. Therefore, in their original belief, the female Moon God was the master God, while the other gods were the subgods. In comparison, the status of female gods among them was generally higher than that of male gods. For example, Rain God is Moon God’s sister, Wind God is Moon God’s maidservant, Sun God is Moon God’s coachman, Fire God is Moon God’s chef …

A thousand years ago, the Western Continent finally broke away from matrilineal society and entered patrilineal society.

At this time, some men had a strong dissatisfaction with the status quo of faith. They knelt down under pomegranate skirts every day and looked at their slippers. Their pride was irreparably hurt. Thus, they randomly chose one of the gods, the coachman, as their only true god, and declared that the other gods were false gods, and then they had the present temple.

“Their True God is a coachman, but they always refuse to admit it.” Cozan concluded, then went on to talk about the trivial traditions.

Tie Zha listened to it word by word. He wasn’t very interested in these things, so he didn’t listen very attentively. Basically, his left ear went in and out of his right ear, and just as he finished listening, he forgot. Cozan had a wide range of knowledge, he knew a little about everything, and it was as if he was talking endlessly. Tie Zha was drowsy when he heard this, but just as he was about to fall asleep, Kezan accidentally mentioned a legend of the Ancient Temple. This originally trivial content was like thunder in Tie Zha’s ears!

Cozan said that the Ancient Temple had always believed that the genes of ancient divine beasts existed in the human gene chain. And the strongest creature among the ancient divine beasts was the dragon race. They looked a bit like large lizards with wings. They could spit out blazing flames, possessing eternal life and endless power. According to the legends of the Ancient Temple, when humans faced the danger of extinction, the Ancient True Dragon bloodline would awaken, and several “dragonizers” would be born among humans. They will shatter the void and extend the human bloodline to another world.

Legend has it that dragonizers don’t need to exercise. They will grow stronger with age. And they are usually lazy, don’t go out, and sleep for a very long time. When they grow up to a certain age, they will no longer age and remain eternal youthful.

As for this legend, Cozan only treated it as an interesting matter, but Tie Zha’s eyes widened as he repeatedly asked for details.

“The rule of evolution is survival of the fittest. If humans really have the genes of the dragons, then why would they evolve in the direction of weakness?” Tie Zha asked.

Cozan shook his head, saying that the direction of evolution was adaptation, not strength. The more powerful a creature was, the more it would consume. Moreover, possessing eternal life meant that human evolution had stopped. Cozan guessed that this legend of the temple might have originated from the phenomenon of “bamboo trees blooming”. It was probably just a myth and had no authenticity.

“What are the specific characteristics of a dragonizer?” Tie Zha asked.

Cozan thought for a moment and said that there were records in the ancient temple that dragonizers slept longer and longer as they grew older. In addition, after absorbing enough energy, the dragonizer would transform into a true dragon and become a true dragon.

The iron slag’s heart was cold as it remembered a person …

This person stayed in the office all day long, and he would never take a step back if there was no need for him to do so. Moreover, her office was connected to her home, and when she became lazy, she even asked someone else to bring her food. Also, she liked to sleep too much. It was fine if she went to bed early and got up late. She had to take a nap in the morning, take a nap at noon, and doze off in the afternoon. She often went to bed after eating and ate when she woke up. Most importantly, he had never seen her exercise, but she was already so strong that it was hard to estimate.

It shouldn’t …

Tie Zha shook his head and threw the idea out of his mind. After all, this was just a legend. It was all about cheating children. If there really were dragonizers in this world, scientists would probably have long since been called heaven-shaking.

After dinner and tidying up the tableware, an old man and a young man wore towels to the Holy Lake and comfortably soaked in a warm bath. By the time he returned, it was already night, and the sky was filled with stars. Tie Zha stood on the castle and looked up at the starry sky. During this period of time, he had come into contact with many new things, even more than his ten years in Tieshan Town.

Perhaps his destiny had changed from here, and he had grown accustomed to Cozan calling him “Northas”. In the dark, he seemed to have grasped a certain feeling, something that he wanted to chase. However, that thing was still illusory, only producing a slight feeling. However, this feeling was indescribably subtle. It wasn’t too intense, but it couldn’t be dispersed.

It was like a faint strand of starfire, as if it could be extinguished at any moment, but it still stubbornly existed …

In this way, he started a new life. Every morning, he drove the red comet to the Endless Forest Sea for a ride to see if there were any ice-crystal berries and prey that came out early in the morning to look for food. After that, he returned to Heroic Temple to receive Kozan’s training. In the afternoon, Cozan will take him to the reference room to teach him all kinds of knowledge.

Every night, after dinner, he would go to the Holy Lake and take a comfortable bath. Then he went back to the fire and listened to Cozan tell the old stories.

Time passed day by day, plain and full.

He had learned the ancient inheritance’s battle techniques. Even though Alice was still at the Golden Beginner Stage every time she scanned, he felt that he was getting stronger and stronger. At the very least, Cozan still needed both of his hands to defend against his attacks.

On the other hand, his knowledge was getting wider and wider, and he knew a lot of things that he didn’t know before. Now, he knew where the Western Continent was, what the world was like, the culture and history of each Silver City, and the basic situation of the major powers and clans.

Only now did he understand that the world outside Tieshan Town, and even outside Northern Wilderness, was so vast. He was already looking forward to going to the academies of the Western Continent. He wanted to see the land that had not been invaded by war or radiation. He wanted to see the ancient town with a thousand years of history. He wanted to taste the vintage wine in the winery. He wanted to go to the museum to see the Eden and see the development and civilization of mankind. He also wanted to go to the central continent, to see the war on another plane, to visit the garden in the sky in Qiman’s dream world …

The world was vast, and Cozan seemed to have opened a window for him. Looking out of this window, he saw a corner of the world and thought of countless possibilities for the future. He was no longer that brat from Tieshan Town, and he had no pursuits other than fighting and eating all day long. What he wanted the most was to quickly learn his skills and walk around the world.

Look around, see, and experience everywhere.

He also thought that if that day came, Cozan could follow him. The wise old man was like an encyclopedia, able to answer almost all of his questions, more useful than Alice.

However, Alice’s database had also been upgraded. The Temple of Glory had a million books and countless materials. Alice soaked in the reference room every day, constantly scanning, wanting to put all the ancient books and files into the database.

In the blink of an eye.

Galaxies flowed, the sun and moon changed, stars changed, time flew by like a shuttle, time flew by quietly …
