Lucky Milk Really Is Useful
Although she wasn't quite clear at first, Feng Xue immediately understood after hearing Seth's example.
Many pantheons are inherently in conflict, especially Christianity, which likes to take things from other religions and rename them, making it a classic example.
The change of identity is not a problem, but the incompatibility of their beliefs is. This is why Christianity itself does not recognize the Egyptian gods. Therefore, in terms of the established narrative, this Set and this Set are not related.
The problem is that this behavior of borrowing a name but not acknowledging the original setting is like using a fantasy novel as a cover in the fanfiction world. Apart from the name, everything else is out of character (OOC), which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among fans of the original work. Even novels have this problem, let alone those involving religious elements.
Therefore, in such a situation, the two entities, as perceived by those who understand them, naturally acquire an inherent hostile attribute, and it is not surprising that they are even irreconcilable enemies.
Furthermore, the personality traits of those Innate Supernatural Tale will be completely inherited from their established settings. Even if they accept new settings and undergo some deviation, the original settings will never disappear.
Besides these, there are also characters who are from different origins but eventually become one. These Weird Tale with the same name but different origins may even produce resonance from the same origin or even influence each other. For example, Amon and Ra, these two live together, and maybe one day when they wake up, there will only be one Amun-Ra and one Ra left.
"I wonder if Amon will be wearing a monocle in a few years," Feng Xue thought maliciously, then shuddered and quickly dismissed the strange idea, focusing her attention back on the question itself.
Although Egypt loves doing this kind of thing, if we have to say, similar problems exist all over the world. For example, China has the Queen Mother of the West and the Queen Mother of the West, Erlang Shen who has become the very thing he hates (Note ①), and Emperor Wenchang is a combination of three. China even has the Seven Lucky Gods, a bizarre combination where all the gods except Ebisu are foreign gods. As for Rome, they simply change the names of other gods and use them as their own.
However, this problem is obviously not a good thing when it comes to Weird Tale. If it is Acquired Supernatural Tale, it is fine. Not recognizing it will only result in a slight decrease in strength and a lower degree of power exertion. But for Innate Supernatural Tale, it means that even if you know there is no enmity, you will have to fight to the death every time you meet.
Even setting aside that, even within the same pantheon, if Surtur met Thor, it would be a case of a god's brain turning into a dog's brain—even if one of them was a Sarkaz girl and the other was just a dog.
"Having inherited that name, one must bear the consequences. It seems that not extending the Tag of 'demon' was indeed the right choice, otherwise Cain certainly wouldn't be speaking to me so politely now."
Feng Xue shook her head, noted the question down, and reminded herself, "One should not lend one's reputation or position to others."
Although it deviates somewhat from the original meaning, upon closer examination, it doesn't seem to make any major mistakes.
"I wonder if I'll ever encounter Weird Tale that can't be put in the same 'folder' as mine." Feng Xue's thoughts wandered, but she thanked Cain for his rather veiled reminder, pushed open the Room Door, and went inside. She pondered whether to go for a swim in the bathhouse or play games at the arcade, but as soon as she opened the door, a dazzling scene unfolded before her...
"Holy crap?"
Looking at the quaint little village in front of her, at the farmers dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes, and at the focused gazes, Feng Xue's expression darkened slightly.
Why are you wearing this?
Etc...
That bottle of milk!
Feng Xue suddenly remembered the bottle of Lucky Milk she had drunk earlier, and finally confirmed that this stuff did indeed have a positive effect on opening doors. Otherwise, there was no reason why she would immediately travel through time as soon as she pushed open a door. After all, her previous door had only been open for a few months...
"Um, wait a minute, I remember that for every ten floors higher, the property can retain one more door, so maybe the probability of opening a door is also higher on higher floors?"
Feng Xue muttered to herself, when she saw a rather burly man approaching, carrying a hoe, and say warily:
"Who are you, and how did you get out of my house?"
"Ah, this..." Feng Xue's expression darkened slightly, but she showed no nervousness. With a flick of her wrist, she pulled a tattered thin blanket from her waist and draped it over herself. Calmly addressing the onlookers, she uttered a profound statement—
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
The next moment, the curious, surprised, and wary gazes vanished indignantly, as if they didn't care about Feng Xue's existence at all.
Seeing that the "little blanket" had worked, Feng Xue immediately activated her Hermit Authority, making some minor adjustments to the clothes wrapped in the blanket, changing them to an ancient style similar to those of the surrounding villagers. Only then did she begin to investigate the situation along the street.
The village wasn't very large, but considering the productivity of ancient times, a village of about a hundred households was definitely not small.
Outside the village were rows of cultivated farmland, which seemed to promise a good harvest. However, as he wandered through the village along the dirt roads trodden by people and livestock, he discovered that things were not so simple.
In a village with only about a thousand people, there are actually Medical Hall, Blacksmith Shop, and a tailor shop. If this could be explained by part-time jobs, then the existence of that tavern is just too outrageous!
Even more outrageous, the menu on the signboard actually included braised beef and Shaoxing wine!
"Grass!"
Even with Feng Xue's limited historical knowledge, he knew just how absurd this was, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood.
For a historical setting, such a village would indeed be a bit exaggerated, but if it were a martial arts setting, then this setup would be just right, and even lack something.
"If we added a storyteller who knew all the world's major events and could turn what happened a thousand miles away last month into anecdotes to tell everywhere, then we'd have a perfect set."
Speaking of this, Feng Xue couldn't help but think of Old Li's Yuelai Inn, but she had no intention of opening an inn in this area.
After a moment's thought, Feng Xue adjusted his powers, changing his coarse cloth jacket into Knight-errant robe he had seen at the tailor shop before entering the tavern. Although he carried no weapon, the owner, seeing his attire, immediately greeted him with a professional smile and said:
"Sir, what would you like to order?"
"Two catties of braised beef and a jar of Daughter's Red wine." Feng Xue casually gave the standard answer from the Wuxia World, and the shopkeeper, unsurprisingly, brought out this "hero's set meal."
However, Feng Xue was clearly not there to eat. After scanning the beef with his Golden Finger and confirming that it was neither False Thing nor Phantom Object, he relaxed and began eating and drinking while activating his Heart of Clear Water. Then, he heard the voice coming from the boss's mind—
"Sigh, business at the shop has been so bad lately. I wonder when those idiots will be back..."
Note ①: The legend of splitting the mountain to save his mother originally belonged to Erlang Shen. Erlang Shen split the mountain to save his mother, but somehow it turned into Erlang Shen's sister being trapped under the mountain. Then it was Erlang Shen's nephew, Chenxiang, who split the mountain to save his mother. Erlang Shen became the villain, which is somewhat like the dragon slayer eventually becoming the dragon.
P. S.: As for those Yu-Gi-Oh! -Oh! manga started half a year earlier than JoJo... well, I don't even know what to say about that. You can check Baidu and you won't find anything like that. Not to mention JoJo 1, JoJo 3 started in 1989, while Yu-Gi-Oh!- Oh! started serialization in 1996, which is eight years earlier, okay? Even the old JoJo OVA started in 1993.
However, when talking about Yu-Gi-Oh!!, one cannot help but mention the great fusion of Egyptian mythology. Because the Egyptians believed that "the Pharaoh is a god," they often merged and combined gods from one another. Atum, Amun, Ra, Khepri were directly combined into one, all of whom were Sun God, and then they were fused together!
Amon + Ra = Amun-Ra
Atum directly became the twilight aspect of the Sun God.
Kelly, on the other hand, became the sunrise face of the sun.
Looking at it this way, the Egyptian system's connection to the merging universe seems quite plausible...
P. S.: The world that was thrown out this time is pretty obvious, isn't it?
