The second interviewer from the left then asked a question regarding the holy bible. ”Who are the seven devil lords of hell, which sins do they represent?”
Those who read the bible before all knew that the seven devil lords corresponded with the seven archangels.
Feng Lin contemplated, recalling the memories in his mind as he directly answered, ”They can be classified as Lucifer, the sin of pride. Leviathan, the sin of envy. Samael, the sin of wrath. Belphegor, the sin of sloth. Beelzebub, the sin of gluttony. Mammon, the sin of greed and Asmodeus, the sin of lust!”
After answering the question, he quietly wiped away his sweat.
Luckily for him, he had been exceptionally interested in mythology back when he had been in the Ancient Earth Era and had read many novels and stories about various gods and divine beings of different cultures and religions. If not, he truly wouldn't be able to answer it.
”Why did God expel Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden?” The main interviewer suddenly asked.
”Because they ate the forbidden fruit!” Feng Lin replied.
”Impressive! More than half of the holy bible has already been lost to time. The stories inside were split into many chapters all around the world yet you could actually answer this.” The main interviewer nodded; he was truly impressed by Feng Lin.
They continued to ask more questions, but Feng Lin easily answered them all. After that, they stopped the questioning and started to first discuss among themselves.
Feng Lin waited patiently and about five to six minutes later, the interviewers had a conclusion.
”Seems like questions about the bible are unable to stump you. Let me ask you another question about mythology. Listen well.” An old man with a turban on his head smiled. His body was as thin as sticks, and he looked somewhat withered by age. ”There are three chief gods of Hinduism. What divine authority do they possess?”
”This is simple.” Feng Lin had a relaxed look on his face.
The chief gods of each religion were always the most famous in comparison to the others. As long as you were slightly familiar with that myth or legend, you would be able to name all of them.
”The three chief gods of Hinduism...They are respectively known as Brahma, God of Creation; Shiva, Goddess of Destruction; Vishnu, God of Protection. The three chief gods are the holy trinity that shares the same roots and source. They are the embodiment of the universe!”
”I've finished all my questions. Next, you are the only one left. Let's see if your question can stump him.” The old man laughed and nodded as he turned to face the last interviewer.
”Don't worry, the answer to my question is extremely tough.” The fifth interviewer seemed to be filled with confidence. ”This is a mythological system that is extremely obscure. Not many people would know of it.”
Feng Lin was still very calm; he wasn't frightened by that at all.
”Hura Mazd. Which mythology did this god belong to? What divine authority or laws did it control?” The interviewer smiled as he asked.
This was an extremely unfamiliar name.
Feng Lin instantly frowned.
Norse mythology? Wrong!
Maya mythology? That's not it!
Japan mythology? It doesn't seem to match at all.
...…..
Feng Lin did a mental run through of the myths and legends of the Ancient Earth Era. He could be sure that he had never heard of this name before.
”What did I say? I told you guys he wouldn't be able to answer this.” Upon seeing the frown on Feng Lin's face and the fact that he didn't answer after a long moment, that interviewer laughed as he glanced at his colleagues. There was a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
The other interviewers turned their gazes to Feng Lin, wanting to see if Feng Lin would be able to answer this. If he could, this would no doubt prove that he had extremely high attainments in the mythological domain.
Feng Lin didn't give up because he was sure that based on one's degree of understanding towards myths and legends, there was no one in this world currently superior to him. If he couldn't answer this, it would mean that no one could.
Hence, there must be an answer to this question. This name was definitely among the myths and legends he knew.
A light suddenly went off in his mind as though a shooting star had arced through his brain.
”I know. This god's original name isn't Hura Mazd. It's Ahura Mazda, the chief god of fire from Zoroastrianism, one of Persia's ancient religion!”
