Book 2: Chapter 183: The Named Dead
Vol 2 Chapter 183 The Named Dead
"Deity" is an honorific title for those beings so powerful they are unstoppable, even unimaginable. In this imperfect world, those who can be called deities are often the "Hours" who reside high in the heavens, presiding over the world's laws and influencing the operation of all things.
Next down are the "Named Ones." They are often great existences who have engraved their true names upon the World's Wall, with personal ranks between 8th and 9th Tier. They are also candidates for the position of Hours and can influence the laws of their respective Aspect to a certain degree.
For certain powerful "Named Ones," fanatical worshippers may also address them as "deities."
Those who can become Named Ones have all achieved perfect balance in the Threefold Law and have even created concepts unique to themselves. This allows them to carve out a small piece from the laws presided over by the "Hours" as their own "territory." In other words, within this small piece of concept, they are the source and the most powerful existence.
"Meleranke" once founded the Silver Radiance Church and brought the concept attribute of "Purification" to its extreme. "Purification" is also a concept greatly associated with the "Luminous Moon" Aspect, so she was seen as a strong candidate for the position of the "Luminous Moon" Hour.
Unlike the currently stable Ninth Epoch - the Covenant Epoch, the Eighth Epoch - the Newborn Epoch was an era of great chaos. In that era, the Six Dragons of Law fell one after another, Hours changed, and various "Named Ones" emerged like waves. Some ultimately defeated their opponents and ascended, while others faded into history.
"What does this mean?"
Passing through the long passageway, Lusha frowned as she looked at the stone wall before her. Ancient murals were carved on it, depicting a strange deity with bull horns and a lower body like a snake. He waved a long flute, his expression manic and joyful.
