Many people understand that the story of the curse of blood is a myth of ksurus.

As the same type of game of soul of darkness, the innovations made by curse of blood in battle system and checkpoint design are not the biggest highlights of the game. If there are highlights, it is probably to encourage players to attack more, so that the game becomes more "reckless", thus creating a more radical battle style than soul of darkness.

The highlight of blood curse lies in its unique world view structure, which is inspired by the myth system of kesulu.

In fact, the curse of consanguinity is indeed regarded as one of the best games about the myth of ksurus.

So, what is the myth of ksurus?

In short, the myth of ksurus represents a "nameless fear of the unknown".

However, this fear is not static, but a very complete gradual experience with cause, process and result.

That is to say, because of human nature, we are constantly exploring the unknown and realizing the world beyond our own understanding, which leads to a feeling of loneliness, despair, powerlessness and hesitation.

There is no doubt that the myth of ksuru is very successful. It has been widely used in film and television, games and novels.

In fact, the myth of ksurus should not be rigidly set, and not all stories with similar themes should use the names of ancient gods such as ksurus and arrange their dramas.

Although the whole world view and the ancient gods in the curse of blood source allude to the myth of ksurus, they have strong originality, which does not affect that it is one of the best works of ksurus.

According to the myth of kesulu, people's ability is limited, people can't see the truth of the world, and their understanding of the world and the universe is at a very superficial stage.

Man is like living on a nameless island in a dark ocean. The ocean is like the universe. Man should not sail too far and explore too deep, otherwise it will lead to the end of disaster.

The story of the curse of blood is such a standard myth.

In Anan, there are human beings and powerful ancient gods. Human beings can not see the ancient god, nor understand the existence of the ancient god, nor understand the thinking level and vision of the ancient god.

When players don't have enough spiritual vision, they can't see the ancient god amidara at all. They can only see the vortex in the air, and they will die if they are caught.

However, the Yanan people found the ancient tomb, and their curiosity began to drive them to explore and go deep into the field of the ancient god, to explore the spiritual vision and get the truth of the world.

Because human beings and ancient gods are not creatures of the same dimension at all, the way of thinking and the way of living are totally different, so it is impossible for human beings to resist the ancient gods, and forcibly accept knowledge beyond the scope of human cognition will make them crazy.

Master William, Lawrence and mikrash are all searching for the way of ancient gods in their own way, but this has brought a devastating disaster to Yanan. Whether it's brain fluid experiment, animal disease or red moon ceremony, they are all caused by the disaster of forcibly acquiring the ability or knowledge beyond the limit of human beings.

The final ending of blood curse is meaningful.

The first ending means that the player gives up the search for the truth, chooses "the fool has the fool blessing", continues to live in the world as a human being, and no longer attempts to explore the knowledge of ancient gods.

And the third ending means that the players are still firmly moving forward. Even after so many tragic events, they still need to understand the truth behind the world, defeat those powerful ancient gods, and then let themselves evolve into the superior, even at the expense of human form.

All of these can be regarded as the unique thinking of the curse of blood for the myth of kesulu.

One might think, what is the significance of the myth of ksuru? Don't you mean to make up some disgusting creatures to be "gods"? Isn't it to belittle human's ability, even to see the ancient gods will go mad? What's the meaning of this kind of "fear of the unknown" made up and forced?

The significance of the myth of kesulu lies in subversion and reflection.

It subverts the image of God. The so-called God does not look like human beings, nor does God necessarily love its creation. God may exist completely beyond the scope of human understanding, such as countless eyeballs and disgusting tentacles.

It is meaningless to speculate the image of God from the perspective of human aesthetics, because since it is a "God", it should be a higher dimension life body which completely surpasses human beings in thought and existence. It is no wonder what kind of life form it has.

It subverts the type of terror. It is not simply bloody, nor simply frightening people with monsters, but creating a sense of unknown. The more we explore, the deeper we will find the fear of the unknown. Even after endless exploration, there will be a kind of despair. This unique terror is unprecedented.

It subverts the view of good and evil and the mainstream thought. In many other descriptions, good is good, evil is evil, angels are handsome women with wings, demons are villains with horns.

But in the myth of ksurus, the ancient gods did not have much hostility to human beings. They looked at human beings as human beings looked at ants.Ancient gods slaughtered human beings wantonly, just like human beings trampled on many ants, human beings will not feel guilty for trampling on ants, and ancient gods will not be sad for killing human beings.

That is to say, in front of the ancient gods, the existing three views are completely overturned. As a special existence beyond human beings, the ancient gods' logical thinking and emotional ethics have nothing in common with human beings.

All kinds of subversion make the myth of kesulu a very distinctive type, which is quite different from those mainstream world views.

But the myth of kesulu is also a kind of reflection. In the process of exploring the universe, human beings are more aware of their insignificance. The more knowledge they know, the more they can feel the limits of human beings.

for example, this sentence: "the real mystery is not why the world exists, but how the world actually exists."

Of course, the charm of kesulu is that it is speechless. Its fear can only be felt, just like being in the dark. The more fantasy, the more terror.

When the myth of kesulu is combined with the suffering play of the soul of darkness, a new product is born, that is the curse of blood.

This makes the curse of blood get totally different characteristics from the soul of darkness in the construction of world outlook.

The first fire will turn out to be the hunter's eternal nightmare.

The king of fire became an unknown and powerful ancient god.

The endless journey of spreading fire became killing and replacing the ancient gods.

It looks similar, but it turns into two completely different stories.
