Chapter 174: The Rise of the Mage
When Jia heard this, his heart was turbulent and he couldn't help himself. He pretended to be 13 and ran away. It was so exciting.
"Teacher, knowledge should be a concept that only wisdom life has? Didn't it mean that becoming a god requires faith? How could it be that there is no believer?"
Spence said: "Who can know that those ancient innate gods may have some clues. The rise of the gods on the earth is still too short. Unfortunately, since the God of Knowledge's God of Judgment, the gods can no longer go down to the realm. Even the transmission of oracles is very difficult, and it is impossible to answer these questions for us. Moreover, the God of Knowledge's practice has made the mages realize that faith is by no means the only way to enthrone the god. The only thing we know is the real name of the God of Knowledge, called Tot. It is said that when you look at a god, you can know the other party's real name."
"No wonder the Holy See was driven to the rest of the continents. It turned out that all the gods were stopped outside and there was no backstage." Jia Yi said.
"Yes. Since the God of Knowledge has isolated the interaction between man and God, the church has inevitably declined. Moreover, because of the continuation of the war between the gods, the various churches are very hostile, and the war has continued without stopping. At this time, magic ushered in its third great development."
While the church had no time to take care of others and the chaotic war, the mages began to continue their strength silently. Moreover, because during the battle between the gods, the church's endless levies and taxes made people other than the church increasingly dissatisfied with the church.
First of all, the elves who left the field were the elves. They were known as the son of nature. Before the Battle of the Gods, they were the largest force in the continent and occupied the center of the continent. However, the battle of the gods also received the greatest damage. In particular, the self-destruction of the god of war Mars exterminated most of the elves.
After the war, humans were the first to recover, because human fertility and learning ability were incomparable to other races. It was only after nearly a hundred years and several generations, but it recovered. Although it was not as good as before the Battle of the Gods, it was much better than other races.
The population problem of elves has always been a big problem. Without the protection of the elves, elves can no longer bear the population losses. They avoided the most prosperous Beisen continent, which is the most populous. After the primitive continent was divided into four layers, Beisen continent to the north, Eastern Pole to the southeast, Lei to the southwest, and finally the southern Ocean Middle.

However, Beisenzhou, which originally had the largest population of humans, did not restore the original order, but instead fell into a more chaotic situation. The churches were still warring and began to suppress the other races. Without the constraints of the gods, the human church itself became increasingly ambitions and became more and more hostile to the other races, unless they joined their own churches. Gradually, dwarves, dwarves and other races with smaller populations gathered together to resist humans.
The behavior of the human church has increasingly aroused the dissatisfaction of other people, including nobles, mages, and other races. Without the gods, the difference between the church's high-end combat power and the mage is gone, until the legend. Moreover, because of the battle between the gods, the churches fight on their own, and the high-end combat power cannot be recovered because of the war.
After the God of Knowledge, the mages also found their goal. They believed that the god was just a "wizard". They broke through and became a god by studying the mystery of the world. It was not because of faith, because his god was knowledge and there were no believers. After the God of Knowledge emerged, the mages also had faith (not religious beliefs) and pursued. They claimed to the outside world that faith was by no means the only way to become a god, and the mages could do it, and it was even more powerful. Don't you see the God of Knowledge, the god of Knowledge, which makes it helpless, both gods and demons.
This propaganda by the monk hurts the sacredness of the gods, especially after the Jedi Heavenly Pass, the gods cannot go down, making the church pay more attention to the sacredness of the gods, which is the foundation of their existence.
The church began to suppress the mages with all its might and declared all mages heresy.
The church has been inflated for so many years because of the gods as the backstage. Even though the gods are no longer in the next session, they still have not changed their ideas. They feel that the gods are the eldest and the second, and they have never had the concept of gentleness or compromise.
Therefore, while they fought endlessly between churches, they suppressed the mages, and imposed heavy taxes on their people, and extremely oppressed the rights of the nobles. The kingdom even had its basic tax rights, almost in name only. In addition, they tried their best to suppress other races, forcing their faith to be regarded as slaves. Under such high-pressure rule, rebellions emerged one after another. Although they could not become a climate, they had shaken the foundation of the church.
Just like the roar in Daze Township, "Why would you rather have a king, prince, general, and minister?", causing the Qin Dynasty, which overwhelmed the six kingdoms to collapse, the rule of the church was already shaking.
The war at this time was no longer the time when the Gods were fighting to plunder faith, but more because of the power struggle between the churches. Some popes even wanted to unify the entire continent and then counterattack the rest of the continents and become kings on earth.
But the church has long been a ruined ship that will sink. If it were all integrated, it would certainly be the largest force in the mainland. But now there is still war between each other and there is no strength to control everything.
Although the mage was greatly damaged when the church first began to suppress the mage, this kind of suppression was basically ineffective. The mage was no longer a salted fish that could only flap the flags and shout behind the gods in ancient times. Over the years, although there were not many mages, their high-end combat power was no less than that of the church, not to mention that the church was still a mess of sand between them.
The confrontation between the mage and the church gradually changed from underground to open. The mage began to unite the nobles, and the aliens formally formed a coalition force, openly opposing the rule of the church.
The church originally thought that this was not a big deal, because of the church's high-pressure rule, and various rebellions were emerging one after another. But soon, the Holy See of the Church of the Sun God Church was occupied by the coalition forces, and the church could no longer ignore the rise of the coalition forces.
After the God of War self-destruction, the God of War's church was annexed by the other churches. Because the God of War was dead, of course there was no gift from the divine art. If the God of War could last for hundreds of years, it might be able to re-brand the God of War, but now there is no chance. The God of War was seriously injured. Although his church has gained a lot of benefits in the process of annexing the God of War, the Church of the Sun God is still very confident, and the serious injury of the Sun God makes it more difficult for the clergy of his church to be promoted and inevitably decline.
If it weren't for the God of Knowledge, the Church of the Sun God would have been cold.
So in the first battle of the coalition, he took the church of the Sun God, one of the largest churches.
After occupying the Sun God Church, the Mage Alliance won one after another, almost invincible. The churches fought on their own and did not resist at all. Even though the knowledgeable people realized that they needed to unite, the progress of mutual hatred was slow. It was not until the mage occupied a whole territory southwest of Beisenzhou that the church finally formed a reluctant coalition to resist the Mage Alliance.
This battle has been fought for more than a thousand years.
Although the church declined, it was once the number one in the mainland. Although the mage coalition was extensive in mass, it was a fantasy world where personal force could change the fate of the world. The wide population base could only stabilize a good foundation. It takes a long wait to transform into strength.
However, the more mages fought against Gen, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were, the more they were fighting, the more they were declining. After such a long tug-of-war, 3,000 years ago, the power of mages developed to the peak, known as the 13 holy mages, and there were only 7 churches. The exit of the church was inevitable.
The church's sphere of influence was shrinking, and in the end, they couldn't help but fight in the decisive battle in Helga and took a desperate bet. In the end, of course, they failed and could only retreat to the East Pole and defend with their geographical advantages.
The Mage Alliance was unable to attack forward at this time. Although this war defeated the Church Alliance, it did not cause much harm to themselves, and the rest of the coalition forces did not want to fight again.
After the disbandment of the Mage Alliance, the conflict between the alien army and humans emerged. In order to rest, dwarves and dwarfs led most of the aliens to Leizhou to retreat, and humans also gave up the entire Leizhou to the aliens. Of course, humans no longer have the ability to occupy another continent. Their own continents cannot be filled, and wasteland is everywhere.
In this way, the pattern of the mainland was determined.
