Chapter 828: Chapter 317: Twilight of the Gods, The Last Dharma Age_3

Wayne nodded repeatedly, indicating his friend was correct.

Dreyne first let out a cold snort and then continued, "The world had once gone through The Last Dharma Age, which was the dusk of the gods and a dark age of collapsing beliefs."

"The Heavenly Father’s Court couldn’t make contact with Heaven, the Pope became frail overnight like an old man, all the mages of the Heavenly Father’s Court lost their magic power, powerful thoughts regressed, the amazing essence of life vanished, knowledge became worthless that day..."

"That’s the reason for the decline of the Heavenly Father’s Court, without military power to consolidate authority, only discussing vacuous beliefs, no one bothered with them. The royal families reclaimed their powers because belief was a good excuse to not tear down the great cathedrals."

"Not only the Heavenly Father’s Court, everyone was the same, mages from the Life Alliance all lost everything..."

"All known mysteries vanished, including Hell."

"Dreyne, can the specific time point be more definite? Did your... friend ever mention it?" Wayne interjected.

"Not sure, maybe the 16th century or even earlier. My friend wasn’t born at that time, and she couldn’t confirm the exact time," Dreyne emphasized.

Wayne inwardly nodded, the 16th century, which coincidentally was the same time point for his and the artistic girl Odilia’s investigation.

Without surprise, there was an outburst of The Last Dharma Age during the 15-16th centuries on the God-chosen Continent, where deities departed, and there was no mention of magic in the mortal world.

Coincidentally, the development of modern science, religious reform, and the renaissance all occurred around this time.

Wayne analyzed the clues; on the God-chosen Continent where gods genuinely existed, technology should not have been thriving, it should have been nipped in the bud by the Pope’s powers.

Like the martyr and pioneer of modern science, the famous Bruno who insisted on heliocentrism and had an unpleasant quarrel with the Pope, then was burned as a heretic.

The God-chosen Continent had no Bruno, and the idea of heliocentrism originated from the Sun Church...

Getting sidetracked, Wayne analyzed the clues, it was because of The Last Dharma Age that various countries escaped the absolute rule of the Holy See. The God-chosen Continent welcomed the development of science, people believed that science was the primary productive force, which led to the current airplanes and cannons.

Having confirmed The Last Dharma Age and its occurrence, Wayne pressed, "Dreyne, did your friend say when The Last Dharma Age ended?"

"Not clear, it seemed like overnight the entire world was rebooted, and the myth returned."

Dreyne wasn’t sure of the exact day, when she became a Moonlight Knight, mages could freely practice, the advantage of the Heavenly Father’s Court was no longer as before, the Life Alliance grew stronger, Darkness, and Death also began their rebirth.

Additionally, because of the catastrophe of that age, the seal on the Icebound Continent was damaged, and the sleeping Torgoguryr slowly awakened.

The followers of the Ancient God had excellent sleep quality, waking up took them three to four hundred years.

"The advantage of the Holy See might be gone, but Heaven has always existed, during that time angels frequently reincarnated with a strong urge to eradicate all heretics, the God-chosen Knights might have appeared then," summarized Dreyne.

Wayne listened and nodded, understanding the reason why all churches refused to mention this past.

Taking the Heavenly Father’s Court as an example, the Bible states the Heavenly Father is omniscient and omnipotent, yet during the dusk of the gods, the Heavenly Father lost connection, and angels also disappeared.

Frankly, knowing the plot, this was like slapping the Heavenly Father himself in the face!

The belief in the five Goddesses was the same, the Goddesses also cared about their reputation, it was more appropriate to bury this unpleasant memory in history.

Moreover, the five Goddesses were not weak, the failure of the seal on the Icebound Continent was due to The Last Dharma Age, otherwise, Torgoguryr would have continued to sleep.

The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.

New questions arose, what caused the dusk of the gods, The Last Dharma Age?

Was it the doing of the Ancient God, or were the Four Elements of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind limited, too many powerful beings in the mortal world drained the God-chosen Continent, forcing the God-chosen Continent to enter a sage’s time?

After a period of recuperation, were they brimming with vigor again?

Wayne threw out these questions, Dreyne knew nothing, "My friend is still young, these things are not for him to know."

"What about Mr. Mula, Mr. Leo?"

"They aren’t that old either."

Dreyne shrugged, "As far as I know, cough cough, as far as my friend knows, the oldest existing God-chosen Knight is a Death Knight, the one in the Paris Underground Great Tomb, not the new knight active in Lundan."

"Death Knight..."

Wayne murmured, curiosity clawing at his heart, itching to rush to Paris to chat with the Headless Knight about ten bucks worth.

Unfortunately, chatting wasn’t an option.

There were devils swarming over there, the Headless Knight’s head had been kicked around like a ball, his going there could only be considered a light gesture with profound sentiment.

"The Death Knight from Lundan is quite interesting, he was also involved when your family rebelled, do you know who he is?" Dreyne asked.

"Not sure, I’ve never seen him."

Wayne shrugged, frankly, he had never met the Death Knight from Lundan.

He skillfully shifted the blame, "However, I heard that he has settled down in the Grand Cemetery in the West District, always sleeping, and only occasionally going out to move around. His willingness to help the Lando Family is somewhat related to the Death Church, perhaps it’s a Divine Decree of the Goddess of Death."

"Don’t worry, I’m just a bit interested, I have no plans to kill your family’s meritorious knight."

Dreyne looked at Wayne, chuckling, "You should be the one worried, you and the Death Knight from Lundan exist in the same era, you’re bound to clash in the future, do well, and don’t embarrass me."
