What you guys are missing amounts to way too many things. To begin with, morality is outer ; while ethics is a "light within" which emanates from pure Being alone. Hence the Solar symbolism in apollonian cult representing the interplay of personnal and impersonnal and such, the use of the Solar rune in european esotericism and archery (the target as a circle with the self and true goal at the center), the platonic notion that "it is possible to exist, but it is not possible to not exist", the relation to western Monism and eastern Atman... or quotes such as "the Sun is Shiva and Shiva is the Sun, those who try to separate them shall fail even with great efforts." (Saura Samhita) Even the theological idea that their is no objective morality without God ; but somehow, modern atheists use christiano-muslim theological reasoning as an un-mentionned foundation to justify a morality based on "natural law", which is precisely upheld by theological reasoning and older sacred traditions (nowhere but in modern times was right or justice a profane thing), same as atheistic liberals just ignoring the theological premises of Bacon and such. And then there is Daoism, which is by nature a metaphysical enquiry on epistemology ; and which participate to the great pan-eurasian scholastic thought. Ghosts are going against the narural cycle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements created by Pan Gu and the immortals and gods ; they disrupt cosmic order.m, while reintegrating them to it, in this novel, is mathematically evaluated as a form of Merit which enhances the protagonist's cultivation. If anyone disagrees, rather than me explaining myself further all the time, why don't you explain why do you think that your position is not a non-sequitur ? Don't count on liberal "thinkers" and professors to find a quick and easy excuse : just like how they have no understanding of classical greek languages but still act as if they studied primary sources ; they didn't bother adressing their self-contradictions either. They only wanted to spread nonsense so as to turn falsehood into common sense (they succeeded).

"raze Ravenna"
"Stilicho is dead, and that bastard Olympius ordered the executions of our wives and children. Blood was shed in the streets, unprovoked, and it is because of that we have sworn to gain our vengeance. We march to Noricum to join Alaric so that we may raise Ravenna to the ground!"

Very well. The story so-far is quite engaging ; but what concerns me in cultivation stories are, after all, the nature and cultivation method of each Realm. Although the concept is interesting, I am worried that the system will completely outshine any practical or philosophical aspect which would have come up without the system..

It's because the pronounciation are the same but ideogram are other.
Xu Yang puts down his phone and blinks, muttering, "Could it be that my grandpa's actual surname isn't Xu, but instead, Xu? And that he is a descendant of Celestial Master Xu?"

Can you blame them, though? there must be dozens of millions of young chinese - in fighting age - who can't find neither a decent job nor a woman (thanks to the one child policy). All these harem stories are reflecting the hard social reality that we're back to square spermatozoidian, boys.
His words, however, only incensed one of the teenagers. A series of more forceful blows followed.

I Became The Pope, Now What?
Fantasy · MisterImmortal
Arthos means "Bear". "Bear" is actually an euphemism from "brown" used in order to avoid summoning the bears ; so he would be called Bjorn. In the movie "The Northman", Prince Amleth is called Bjorn Wolf by the vikings. Was it a reference purposefuly made ? Personnally, I spurn the claims that war is about slaughter of the innocent, rapes and looting ; these are wholly modern, gay and fake. Egil and Erik are dissing the knights and King Arthur ; but what about Sir Lancelot (i.e. Sir Galahad l'ancelot du Lac - ancelot is an archaic french word meaning "the servant", it was maybe chosen as a christian contraste to the King of (lake) Nemi), who spared the life of Erik ? Back in the early middle ages, there have battles where only a handful of knights died (literally, counted with fingers) because they would honorably surrendered. It's just trust society, really ; and the Kings fought to establish that, especially King Arthur, in the original story. Much of the same can be said of the samurai. Although Bushido is a modern "invention", the terme Shidō (which is about the morality and ethics of a warrior) was Indeed used, and grew in import during the Edo period, when civil war left place to civil consciousness and a return to cultural outlook and products wildely enjoyed by the public (thanks to economical prosperity). It's unfortunate that the story isn't receiving new updates.

Raw milk, especially for yoghurt, is far superior to pasteurized milk. All hail the mongolian diet!
The information in the book would be elementary to Alex, concerning pasteurization and cures for common diseases, but these were all unknown to people of this era.

Actually, this used to be rather normal. Cf. Émile Benveniste, Indo-European Language and Society, on Mariage ; Mahābharata, where Bhisma kidnapping brides for Pandu and his brother, and Arjuna who kidnaps the sister of Balrām and Krishna (they were already in love though, so it's more like eloping in a ritual manner) ; etc.
He was surprised by the fact that they seemed to have the healthiest relationship in the whole of Olympus despite the fact that it started with an abduction. Whenever someone came in, Persephone would offer feedback and Hades would give the final voice. When there was an interesting offer, the two would discuss it calmly and ask for his opinions on the matter.

The myth of Persephone is that of the vegetal world retreating underground during winter - which, according to The Work and Days - did not exist in the Golden Age, and resurfacing during Spring (hence the smile of the Goddess).
He was once again surprised at the Greek deities and their morals, forming elaborate abduction plans for the sake of marriage.

Fantasy · Venusean
Athena is described as having "persian" eyes, and as such she has been depicted sometimes as blond and blue eyed, but it most likely means that she has owl like eyes. Aside from this detail, her description is just fine.
Her face had a rounded yet symmetrical shape and her eyes were shaped like an upturned tulip petal yet her pitch-black irises felt as deep as the oceans. She wore a magenta and white toga covering her private parts but not concealing her athletic build.

When were the people voting the most often and with the greater impact: the european middle ages or now? The middle ages. Modernist propaganda is just a pathetic and wretched bunch of lies weaved together by money lenders.

That backscratched very hard.
But that later backfired as these people came crying and laid down beside Sylvester's feet as he was about to board the stagecoach. They asked that he bless them and accept their apology. Surprisingly, many confessed to their sins in fear of Solis. Many of them had committed crimes that were never solved in the town—ranging from theft to murder.
