Chapter 383 7.37 Ancient Era

After coming to the territory of the Frost Giants and talking with the Giant King several times, Loki finally learned some secrets of the "last round of civilization" from this living fossil that survived from the ancient times.

According to his estimation of the age, the era when giants and dragons ruled the land began around 200,000-300,000 BC.

They disappeared around 50,000-10,000 BC.

They were not outer gods, but were created by the "Aesir" under the control of Odin.

In the giant version of the "Creation Myth", the Aesir went to the country where the giants lived (about the specific address of this foreign land, the myth only proposed a very vague concept.)

(According to Loki's guess, this is most likely an alien planet different from the earth.)

They created male giants with "nanmu" from Asgard and female giants with "beech wood" according to the appearance of their favorite giants, and raised them in "Jotunheim".

However, simply raising giants quickly became boring.

On a boring night, the Aesir suddenly discovered that a lot of new gods seemed to have appeared in a world that had been destroyed long ago, among which there appeared a huge beast called "flying dragon" that could rule the world.

It turned out that the dinosaurs were not completely destroyed on this planet. The giant beasts that survived by some force had evolved and transformed and upgraded to more powerful abilities.

The Frost Giant King could only retell the history he had heard based on the knowledge stored in his mind. He couldn't understand why the dinosaurs survived the wrath of the gods that destroyed the world.

But Loki knew.

He had seen the murals of the lizardmen in the "Obsidian Pyramid".

There must be a considerable number of dragons that had entered Leviathan and survived the world-destroying disaster with them.

The discovery of the dragon clan made the bored "Aesir" ecstatic.

"Do you want to use the giants we created to compete in a survival competition with these flying beasts?"

"In this way, we can have fierce battles to watch every day!"

Once this idea appeared, it could never be shaken off. Odin opened the passage from Asgard to the human world and named the human world "Midgard".

When the giants set foot on this land, they immediately became the only competitor of the dragons.

The primitive humans who were struggling to survive under the claws and flames of the dragons finally got a brief respite.

**

Humans are the smallest of all the "Outer Gods" living on this planet.

No one knows where they came from.

And when and how they came to the earth.

The giant king only learned from the myths and legends passed down by word of mouth that the time of their coming seemed to be longer than the giants entering Midgard.

Before the giants came, the flying dragons in the sky had almost completely wiped them out. If the giants had not successfully diverted the attention of the dragons, this group of short Outer Gods who stole eggs and lived on scavenging would have been completely extinct in a short time.

However, the "human" group has an extraordinary resilience. They are willing to serve other Outer Gods without any bottom line, build temples for them, worship them, and learn their magic.

This is unimaginably humble in the eyes of all other ancient gods and foreign gods.

No one would reject a group of useful dogs.

In the hundreds of thousands of years when giants and dragons fought, the tiny human race successfully survived in the cracks between the gods.

Although humble, lowly, and without any dignity.

But alive, there is hope.

In the memory of the Giant King, an important symbol of the rise of mankind is the birth of "Nuwa".

The humans before the birth of Nuwa and the humans after the birth of Nuwa are two completely different types of humans.

Nuwa brought several changes to mankind.

First, Nuwa created the marriage system.

Before Nuwa appeared, humans and beasts lived together at will and messed around at will. Nuwa created the concept of a man and a woman getting married and living together.

The subsequent "men farming and women weaving" and "family clan" were all guided by her.

Relying on the solid concept of marriage and "family honor", humans who originally lived in the wilderness like wild beasts quickly distinguished themselves from wild beasts and developed into a large group with clear roots.

They changed from a scattered group state to a social creature with clear organization and division of labor.

The originally scattered groups began to rely on clans and quickly grew stronger.

At that time, the giants and dragons were fighting each other. Countless foreign gods descended on the earth, either for research, or to watch a show, or simply because they were bored. 200,000 years ago, the earth became a paradise for foreign gods to wander.

Loki could fully understand this feeling.

The audience watching boxing would inevitably be excited by the bloody battles, and many immersed in it even wished that they could go on the field and take a few punches themselves to add a little flavor to their boring lives.

Not surprisingly, this group of foreign gods visited this vibrant planet for this reason.

When the human group became large enough, the first foreign god purge in human history began.

Loki couldn't determine the exact time of this short history. He could only roughly think that it was between 50,000 BC and 10,000 BC.

The giants and dragons obsessed with fighting were surprised to find that in the corner where no one was, this group of insect-like short creatures had developed so many, and the individuals were also rapidly becoming powerful.

As powerful as Loki is today.

After drinking the golden potion, he activated the thin ancient blood in his body and "degenerated" into the "Viking ancestors" who existed in the world tens of thousands of years ago.

He had no faith, no sequence level, and only a terrifyingly strong physical fitness.

He could survive underwater for 7 days, jump to a height of 30 meters, and run for three days and three nights without feeling tired.

Even in the face of the "bloody creator", he, a tiny human, still had the strength to fight in a 1V1 situation.

This human army made the Outer Gods understand the power of "army" for the first time.

When a group of powerful individuals are uniformly managed, commanded, and obey an order, the energy they burst out is huge.

Most of the Outer Gods were forced to flee.

It was also at this time that the Frost Giants were defeated by the "bloody conqueror" Olaf and driven back to their former homeland.

Later, another feat of Nuwa was to completely prevent the Outer Gods from entering the human world.

This is what Loki wanted to know most.

According to his understanding of the truth of the matter, the outer gods entering the human world must not be like the aliens in science fiction movies, descending from space on a spaceship.

The legendary "Nuwa mending the sky" must not be like mending a broken pot, boiling some molten iron to fill the hole that appeared.

According to the knowledge stored in his mind, Nuwa probably did two things.

1. She hid the "Earth" from the eyes of the outer gods to prevent them from discovering the location of this coordinate.

2. She blocked a "wormhole" and isolated a space-time rift.

The memory of the history of the earth in the Frost Giant King's mind ended here. He had no idea what happened in human civilization after they were driven back to Asgard by the bloody conqueror Olaf.

The two biggest questions in Loki's heart are still unanswered.

First of all, is Nuwa an outer god, or the first "new god" from humans?

There are many kinds of images of Nuwa in later generations, and different classics often contradict each other.

In the classics of the Qin and Han dynasties, such as Shanhaijing, Huainanzi, and Chuci, Nuwa is a woman who is no different from ordinary humans.

However, in the Yaojing compiled by the counselors of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, she and Fuxi both had human heads and snake bodies, with their tails entangled together.

As for the Jiuli tribe under the rule of Emperor Chiyou in the earlier period, there was an ancient book called Jiuzhou Dahuangce.

In Dahuangce, Nuwa even looked like a frog, with a swollen abdomen, a human head and a demon body, like a terrifying monster far more similar to humans.

This question is secondary, and the second question is Loki's real demon.

When the earth returned to the hands of Nuwa and humans, what did humans experience to cause such serious "degeneration"?

With Loki's current physical fitness, even if hundreds of ordinary mortals came, he could easily knock them all down.

Their degradation is so obvious that if they want to survive on this planet, they must bring back the foreign gods that Nuwa has purged, build temples for them, and spread their faith.

Is Nuwa really a selfless and kind god?
