Chapter 4451 Chapter 4453 [Relics from the previous era]
Xiang Nan was deeply shocked after listening to Dia Dalma's introduction.
Later, he successively found the Inca Golden City, the lost temple of the Mayan Empire, and obtained the "Amulet of the Sun and Stars" in the Yucatan Peninsula.
There are three major civilizations among the Indians in North and South America. The northernmost one is the Aztec civilization, located in south-central Mexico, the middle one is the Mayan civilization, located in southeastern Mexico, and the South American civilization is the Inca civilization, located in Peru.
Therefore, the Inca Empire, Mayan Empire and Aztec Empire are actually three completely different countries and cannot be taken seriously.
The Aztec Empire had collapsed under the attack of the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, and even the Quetzalcoatl they believed in was now dying due to the large number of deaths of believers.
The Inca Empire was also destroyed by the Spanish colonist Francisco Pizarro. However, although they robbed all the gold, silver, and jewelry in the Inca Empire's treasury, the real big head was still in the Golden City.
This golden city is located deep in the mountains of South America, and no one can find it without a map. The Spanish colonists once traveled across mountains and rivers to find this golden city, but in the end they found nothing.
However, under the guidance of "Mao Kun Tu", Xiang Nan found the Golden City deep in the Andes Mountains.
It turns out that this is really a city made of gold, used to worship the most supreme **** of the Inca Empire-the sun **** Inti.
Because sunlight is golden and gold is golden, the Inca people believed that gold was the incarnation of the Sun God. Gold was also the most suitable for worshiping the Sun God, so they built an extremely luxurious temple for the Sun God in the jungle. temple.
But the most valuable thing in the temple is not the hundreds of tons of gold, but the golden staff blessed by the Sun God.
It turns out that the ancestors of the Inca Empire took the golden staff blessed by the sun **** and embarked on the road to founding the country. The Sun God told them that as long as this golden rod can penetrate into the ground, that is where they will live.
When they came to Custer, sure enough, the golden rod penetrated the earth, so they settled here and eventually grew and prospered. This golden staff also became a symbol of the Inca royal family and was enshrined in the Temple of the Sun for generations.
It is said that if you get this golden staff, you can summon the light of the sun **** to drive away all evil, depravity and corruption, and possess powerful divine power.
But unfortunately, the Spanish colonists were too cunning. They first trapped and killed the old emperor, then supported a puppet as emperor, and then quickly killed the puppet and destroyed the entire Inca Empire.
Therefore, before the Inca royal family had time to retrieve the golden staff, their entire army was wiped out. After the death of the Inca royal family, no one knew the secret of the Golden City, but it was eventually found by Xiang Nan.
…
The Mayan Empire was also destroyed by Spanish colonists in the 16th century. However, before the empire was destroyed, the rulers of the empire hid a large amount of gold, silver, and rare treasures in the temple.
Over the years, the Spanish colonists tried to find it, but in the end all efforts were in vain.
Because the temples of the Mayan Empire are hidden deep in the lush rainforest, it is difficult to reach the sky if you don't know the way.
For Xiang Nan, finding the lost temple was much easier.
However, there are still many mechanisms, traps and monsters in the temple.
In particular, a headhunting clan has been guarding the temple for generations. They are very short, only half the height of ordinary people, but their movements are extremely flexible, like spiritual apes.
When Xiang Nan saw them for the first time, he couldn't help but think of the little savages in the Kurast jungle in the third level of "Diablo 2".
Fortunately, Xiang Nan was proficient in magic and passed through the area guarded by the headhunters without any bloodshed, and entered the lost temple. Not only did he successfully find the wealth of the Mayan Empire, he also found a legendary crystal skull. It is said that the crystal skull contains the secrets of the universe and life. Once unlocked, infinite wisdom and knowledge can be obtained.
However, according to Tia Dalma, the crystal skull is not that powerful. "It is just a relic from the last era."
"Last era?" Xiang Nan was very curious.
"Human beings are not the first generation of masters of this world. This world has had many generations of masters. I don't know how many generations exactly.
Every change of master represents an era, and each era has to go through the process of rebirth, growth, decline and destruction. And after every destruction, something always remains.
This crystal skull is a relic from the previous era. "Tia Dalma explained, "It records the knowledge of the previous era, but it should only be some fragments.
I advise you not to interpret easily. As I said, the more you know, the more dangerous it is. There are many evil gods that I don’t even dare to provoke, so be careful as you will be targeted by them. "
…
"Are you gods also the survivors of the last era?" Xiang Nan asked curiously after hearing this.
Since Tia Dalma said that when the last era was destroyed, something would survive, then could these gods also be products of the previous era?
They have mastered civilization and abilities that people in this era do not have, so they are regarded as "gods".
Just like if Xiang Nan could travel back in time to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, even if he only had a lighter in his hand, he would probably be regarded as a **** of fire by those primitive people.
"Shut up, I tell you, don't ask anymore." When Tia Dalma heard this, she immediately became furious.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan had no choice but to shut up.
But judging from Tia Dalma's reaction, he knew that his guess was right.
In fact, the fact that gods are remnants of the previous era is reflected in many mythological stories and game novels.
For example, in Mayan mythology, the earth has experienced five eras, and each era has a different ruler. There are people with super powers with three eyes, and there are races that have mastered high-tech civilization...
The snake **** in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is also immortal. Although he only has one skeleton and one snake eye left, he will be resurrected again after the universe ends, so he is regarded as a representative of immortality.
Even the Jade Emperor in the mythology of Middle-earth experienced countless tribulations before becoming the God of the Gods. And each calamity is the success or failure of heaven and earth, which is the same as the era mentioned by Dia Dalma.
Therefore, many gods, such as Zeus, God, Poseidon, Quetzalcoatl, spirits of nature, etc., may be the remnants of the previous era, or even the previous era.
They have mastered some kind of magical ability or technology, so they are regarded as gods by humans in the primitive period, and they are worshiped from generation to generation.
But Xiang Nan immediately stopped himself from thinking further.
Because according to Tia Dalma, there are many evil gods in the spiritual world, who are extremely evil. The more you know, the more dangerous you may be.
