Chapter 139 The Ancient Egg
Chapter 10: The Birth of the Ancient Egg and the Aurora Goddess
Before telling the story of the Aurora goddess Cindora and her related birth and evolution, I must remind readers again that for those ancient myths and legends of the old era that lack writing records, we can still only deduce their prototypes through sporadic symbolic records and a large number of word-of-mouth legends.
Therefore, it cannot be completely determined in its accurate origin, and even contradictory and lack of logical content may occur. Please be prepared for this.
Unlike the barbaric and primitive worship of wild beasts and the development of the cultivation culture of sun worship, the legend about the goddess of Aurora is more bizarre. Those icefield tribes living near the polar regions have the deepest memories and fears of nature, death, ice and snow, aurora, and starry sky.
It is also more mysterious and perceived by natural spirituality.
The dangers of living here often do not come from the invasion and conquest of other tribes, but more because of the harsh natural environment. Sometimes a cold winter can erase the originally powerful tribes. The lives of individuals are so fragile that the poems circulated by local people are always full of sighs of the impermanence of fate, awe of nature, and fear of the cold winter in the polar regions.
Sindora has priesthoods related to death, starry sky, destiny, ice and snow, and it is not without reason.
However, tracing the root of the source, its original source of faith comes from an ancient legend.
This legend is likely to be constantly distorted and added fuel to the fire, so that it seems a bit absurd now, and its content is very messy. I systematically sorted it out and tried to organize it into a complete story.
Legend has it that before the birth of human beings, an older race ruled the world. Legends in the Icefield Tribes are called the Immortals. The Nords' records of the Immortals are not complete, full of ambiguous descriptions and vague records, and are likely just a vague concept.
One day two thousand years ago, a chief of the Icefield Tribe discovered a mysterious egg in an frozen cave. He brought the egg back to the tribe and gave it to his daughter as a gift.
He told his daughter that the egg gave birth to an existence with extraordinary power, an ancient life (because the Nords had not yet produced the concept of gods in that era, the description of the chief may have been deviated from this).
The original intention of the chief's behavior cannot be verified, but the result is very clear.
The girl believed in the chief's words and told the egg devoutly that she was in her heart, took care of the egg, and protected it with her body temperature to protect it from the severe cold.
After many years, as time goes by, some people gradually developed similar mentality about this egg. When the chief passed away and the girl became the new chief, the egg gradually became a holy object of the tribe. People firmly believe that there is a certain existence with mysterious power in it, and they are extremely expecting that one day the egg will hatch the imagined life.
After many years, the eggs finally hatched.
The incident happened on a extreme night. When a blizzard came, the entire tribe was in crisis. People died one by one in the cold. Until the last moment, the girl insisted on using her body temperature to protect the safety of the egg.
Just as the entire tribe was about to perish, a miracle happened. The eggs broke, and a girl emitting light and heat was born from it. She waved her hand and dispersed the long extreme night and shone the sunshine of dawn on people.
She is the original belief of the Icefield Tribe and the original form of Sindora - the goddess of dawn Frena.
Unlike the high and invisible gods in other myths and legends, the goddess Dawn appeared in the tribe as a human in the early legend.
She lives with members of the tribe like a real human girl, migrates with her, and is born, old, sick and dies together.
Legend has it that after Frena died, people found that she had changed back to the egg. People firmly believed that the egg would still hatch again, so they built a temple to preserve the egg.
However, things did not develop as people thought. When the cold extreme night came again, people prayed and worshiped the egg, hoping that miracles would happen again.
However, the miracle did not happen, and because people devoted too much energy to build the temple, they delayed the collection of supplies and food, resulting in a tragic disaster.
When the extreme night finally passed, the entire tribe almost disappeared, and the ice field was full of frozen Nords' bodies. The remaining Nords saw the terrifying scene, which made them full of fear and resentment for the egg. They buried the egg with the body, but something surprising happened.
On the third day after the funeral, a black monster bird flew out of the grave. It represented darkness and death, and was the mortal enemy of life. Whenever it sang in the dark with a strange tone, death would come. In the next few hundred years, it became a nightmare for the Nords.
In the end, the Nords hunted the terrifying monster bird, and the monster bird turned into an egg again.
The Nords threw the eggs on the ice field and let them die. However, a miracle happened again. After being shined by stars and aurora, a new goddess was born in the eggs - the Aurora goddess Sindora
This is the origin of the Aurora goddess Sindora.
There are naturally many false legends and absurd stories in this.
For example, the ancient egg is obviously fictional and has no logic.
The reason why the Icefield Tribes developed such a strange belief is likely to be related to their harsh natural environment. Whenever disaster comes, they will abandon the old gods and seek shelter from the new gods.
Because the disaster was so tragic that they lost their minds in the darkness and extreme cold, and made up strange and bizarre stories.
But there is still something that makes me puzzled. Why did it start with an egg? What is the specific prototype of this egg? I still haven't thought of a reasonable explanation. Perhaps it is destined to become an unsolvable mystery.
Sean couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw this.
Could it be that this egg is not condensed by the power of faith? Instead, it has existed before this.
This is not impossible. The statue that Uruk spit out may be the original sustenance of faith.
An ordinary statue was influenced by the power of faith and eventually became a god with a strong will.
Then it is reasonable to say that an egg will eventually become a goddess under the influence of the power of faith.
However, judging from the description of this egg, it is obviously completely different from the beast statue in Uruk, and it is a very magical existence itself.
But myths are myths after all, and it is better to have no books than to believe in books. Ulysses's research may not be absolutely correct. Even he himself is not sure whether the legend about this egg has its own prototype or the story made up by the Nords randomly.
This kind of thing cannot be verified at all, so there is no need to worry too much.
However, he discovered the characteristics of this egg from this ancient legend.
It felt the warmth of the girl and was watered by hope, so it gave birth to the loving goddess of dawn.
Then he was buried with a bunch of corpses, hated and feared by the Nords, and eventually gave birth to the death crow.
The third time she was shining by starlight and aurora, no one paid attention to her, and gave birth to the Aurora goddess of the three-no girl.
From this we can see a rule that it is very likely that the egg will absorb what kind of energy it will absorb and what characteristics it will eventually hatch.
What kind of emotions are absorbed, what kind of personality the things hatched have.
The former is basically certain, but the latter is still considered a conjecture.
Does that mean that if you put it on the fire and roast it yourself, a fire phoenix will hatch?
If you get a pile of ice soul stones to absorb the energy of frost, you will hatch an Elsa.
So if you use the power of the sun to shine it for several months, can you hatch a baby of the sun?
It feels very likely.
However, what exactly can be hatched may also be related to the power of faith. The power of faith itself is a strong emotion, worship, fear, and hatred, no matter what kind of emotion it is, it at least means that people believe that it will hatch something.
But now the Nords have long forgotten Sindora, will it hatch a new goddess?
What if some kind of monster hatched?
Sean couldn't help but mutter in his heart. The egg is a bit like a lottery draw now. It's completely uncertain what it can be drawn. However, its attributes can be controlled at a certain level and have a certain plasticity.
It shouldn't be difficult to hatch it, just inject enough energy into it.
What Sean most hopes is to hatch a super little loli, raise and train since childhood, and have a goddess development plan. She is cute and can help fight.
However, since this thing can hatch death crows, it cannot be fully confirmed that the hatched one must be from the humanoid system.
Sean suddenly felt aroused in his heart, and since it can absorb all kinds of energy, what would happen if he drips two drops of blood on his own? If he absorbs his own blood, wouldn’t it mean he became his own child?
