Chapter 656

And if, the core of [story] is not grasped.

Just simply get various fate bonuses.

Show courage in stories that celebrate wisdom, shout forgiveness in stories that celebrate resistance, and sell wise words in stories that advocate love.

The final result will definitely not be too good.

The right destiny, only through the right story, can achieve its full power.

Sun Wukong and Athena also realized this.

That's why they are stuck at this step, unable to make any progress.

after all.

If you want to use this theory to gain the power of myth.

There is a problem that must be faced.

That is——

"What exactly is the purpose of myth?"

The petite silver-haired goddess looked at Su Mo in front of her with confusion.

As stated before.

If you know the gist of the story, the corresponding choices will naturally be easier to make.

The power gained by the final king falls into the category of adventure stories.

The basis of this story that the brave will inevitably defeat the devil is actually derived from various types of fairy tales.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the King of the End took advantage of the power of fairy tales.

But.

Compared with fairy tales that are easy to understand and entertaining, fairy tales are much more complicated.

Most relatively complete mythological systems are composed of dozens or hundreds of mythological stories, large and small.

Each story is independent of each other and has different content.

Not to mention, with the development of the times, these myths and stories have been gradually distorted in the inheritance.

It is not so easy to find the core and theme of mythological stories in these stories.

After all.

It is difficult to say whether some myths have a consistent theme.

in this case.

It is not that easy to use the power of myths just like using the power of fairy tales.

(afda) Even Athena, the goddess of wisdom, has doubts about this.

"Even if it's the myth where I live, I don't think those poets have the same identity and that's why they sang the content!"

The silver-haired petite goddess said very puzzledly.

There are traces of the ideas of fairy tale writers.

Whether it's Grimm's fairy tales or Andersen's fairy tales.

A large number of its stories have been compiled and adapted by the author.

Since it comes from the mouth of one person, it is not surprising that there is some ideological unity.

Therefore, it is not difficult to extract the core from the fairy tale.

But the myth is different.

The intricate myth itself has a rather confusing origin, and has since been embellished and re-created by various poets.

Athena is a goddess who came to the earth thousands of years ago.

During the Age of Gods, they also had a certain understanding of the human world.

Therefore, she knew very well the nature of those poets who sang myths.

Those poets with a casual style basically have all kinds of strange personalities, and what they value is completely different.

It is simply impossible to expect these casual poets to reach some kind of consensus in the creation of myths.

These poets have different thoughts and experiences in different eras.

A myth that is unified after creation.

To say it was a big mess would be an understatement.

I want to find some kind of unified core in the myths compiled by these poets who have never collaborated with each other.

That's simply impossible.

This doubt about Athena.

Su Mo just shook his head.

"Consensus is something that cannot be achieved by agreeing in advance."

"Since it is the core of the record of the myth itself, as the key to the myth, it is naturally the content that is least likely to be modified."

"No matter how the gods themselves change, no matter how the myths themselves are distorted and rewritten, the most precious thing about myths is the ideas that can still be preserved over a long period of time."

Even if it is the world of God Killers.

This god of disobedience has many vests and a world where the relationships between gods are complicated.

Even in these myths, even the very important gods are not even their own gods.

The core of the myth itself has still been preserved.

No matter how the name of the god changes, no matter how the deeds of the god change.

In the end, what remains unchanged is the most precious core of myth.

"That is - cosmology.".

520 Possibility of omnipotent realm, Greek mythological cosmology

"Cosmology?"

After hearing Su Mo's words, Athena tilted her head in confusion.

She is no stranger to this term.

In the study of mythology, this is often mentioned.

Cosmology refers to the conjecture and hypothesis of ancient humans about the composition of the world as reflected in mythology.

This also includes human beings - their understanding of the world.

The most important thing is naturally the discussion of the universe model.

For example, China was born very early and established the Tao idea of ​​the unity of nature and man.

On the basis of this unchanged thought, the hypothesis of the universe model has been advancing with the times.

From the round sky and the square place to the theory of Gaitian, Huntian and Xuanye.

Getting closer and closer to the real model of the universe.

in this regard.

Western civilization also had an era of the theory of cosmic motion. After the theory of cosmic motion was denied, it was gradually replaced by the theory of seismic motion, leading to today's scientific universe model.

If the so-called cosmology refers to this.

It is indeed as Su Mo said.

No matter how the god's divinity changes.

No matter how the myth itself is distorted.

As the most fundamental setting of the world view, it has almost never changed.

"But, this kind of thing has nothing to do with the theme of the myth, right?"

Athena asked very puzzled.

If the myth itself is a story, the cosmic model is at best just a stage.

The stage itself, no matter how it changes, should not have much meaning.

At least, it should not be able to determine the core of the story.

"Yes, the cosmic model itself is not particularly important."

Su Mo nodded and agreed with her statement.

Then, the tone changed.

"But the cosmology is not the same as the cosmic model."

After shaking his head, he did not keep it a secret, but said it directly.

"As the core of mythology, the most important thing about the cosmology itself is not the settings about the cosmic model, but the discussion about the relationship between humans and the world."

Literary works are ultimately people-oriented and human-centered narratives.

Even myths and legends are the same.

Therefore, compared with the cosmic model, the relationship between humans and the world is the most important part of the mythological system.

"In a society that tends to be stable, people living in the same era often have some commonalities in their thinking about the world. This commonality is the key that even the poets who collect, process and create myths have not noticed."

If the mythological stories themselves are sung by the poets who sing epics.

Then, when creating these myths, I am afraid that the poets themselves did not realize the self-conscious and natural ideas in their minds!

It seems that fate has completed the mythological epic through the hands of the poets.

"For example, Zoroastrianism, or Zoroastrianism, has a cosmology based on the concept of [good and evil dualism]."

"They believe that humans should resist temptation and devote themselves to good in order to defeat evil."

"In this cosmology, 'good' and 'evil' are naturally the two most important cores. And, according to the prophecies in mythology, good is destined to defeat evil."

"Therefore, only good gods and evil gods can get the greatest support from the Zoroastrian cosmology, and the evil gods will eventually be defeated, and the good gods can dominate everything."

Su Mo used Zoroastrianism, which he was very familiar with, as an example to explain.

Compared with other myths.

Zoroastrianism's cosmology is the most famous and the easiest to understand.

The Zoroastrian mythology tells one thing from beginning to end.

- Good will defeat evil!

Therefore, if you want to get enough power bonus in the Zoroastrian mythology system.

You only need to have the attributes of the good god and get the corresponding destiny bonus.

Although I don't know how big this bonus can be.

However, since the Last King has obtained the bonus of the Hero's Fate, he can obtain combat power that surpasses the God Slayer level.

Then if Su Mo passes the Demon God Ceremony and becomes a three-digit omnipotent domain.

If he obtains the corresponding destiny bonus.

Wouldn't he be able to access the power of the cosmic truth level.

Directly become a three-digit exception, and even have the hope of being promoted to a two-digit omnipotent domain? !

If that's the case, it would really be a step to heaven.

Of course.

The myth of the God Slayer world is naturally not enough to support this level of power.

Only the myth of the box garden world can make Su Mo get enough bonus.

"The dualism of good and evil..."
