"Four Pillars? Gods?"
Qin Shi pondered. He initially wanted to call them by name directly, but the Palace of Thought suddenly trembled, preventing his somewhat rash and unwise action.
"Even speaking their names is forbidden; the respect for them is truly formidable."
Qin Shi was a bit puzzled. Dongxia did not promote religion and deities.
Furthermore, it strictly forbade large-scale gatherings, rituals, and other group activities in public places.
Among the Four Pillars, the only one he had heard of was the "Divine Machine."
The people of Dongxia referred to power armor capable of exploring the Star Sea and conducting single-handed interplanetary operations as "Divine Machine," which later became a term for combat weapons.
The most heroic legendary tales of ancient times were about Specialized Level Martial Artists who, riding a Divine Machine alone, decapitated enemy generals in the midst of thousands of troops, thus achieving great deeds.
