"If one day your creation decides to turn its back on you, what would you do?"
Hao Ren looked into the eyes of Raven 12345 and asked. He hesitated for a long time before speaking, but when he really said this, he felt no pressure at all. He waited for the answer from the real goddess in front of him, and there was a mysterious gleam in the latter's beautiful unworldly eyes. After a while, the eyes were slightly bent, and Raven 12345 smiled: "You are right?" What's the definition of 'betrayal'?"
"This..." Hao Ren was a little stuck. He suddenly realized that he had asked a question rashly, but he didn't even understand many key definitions, or he didn't have a standard in his heart. You, deny that you are their creator, or simply worship some other god or something."
"Oh, it seems that the 'creatures' you are referring to are those sentient beings." Raven 12345 snapped his fingers while speaking, the surrounding scene suddenly turned upside down, the withered paradise garden faded instantly, and the sky full of stars And the vast expanse of space suddenly descends as if appearing from a dream. Hao Ren felt a sense of weightlessness, and by the time he realized it, he was already standing in the vast space, and some planets were rapidly zooming in in his field of vision. Although he couldn't feel his own movement, he realized that he was crossing Under the leadership of Crow 12345, it quickly traveled through space.
"Creation... Although I haven't created the universe yet, I like to create some celestial bodies when I'm free, such as stars and planets, and larger-scale nebulae. These are all creations, but these things obviously don't produce anything. 'Abandoning' the idea of the creator," Raven 12345 took Hao Ren through the starry sky, gradually approaching a gray-blue planet, "and when I am free, I will also create some life... Sometimes from scratch , Let life evolve from a single cell, sometimes it is the same as in human myths. Create the entire ecosystem directly, plan everything at once and let them reproduce and evolve. The former takes a long time to evolve in a model There is. And the latter will become as busy as the earth in a short time. This is very interesting work, not just a research project."
The situation on the planet's surface quickly magnified in Hao Ren's eyes. He saw that the planet was already full of vitality, and a civilization in a state of sword and magic was multiplying on its surface. He could see warriors riding dragons patrolling the lower atmosphere, some tall demi-races were busy building the city wall under the urging of the overseers, and there was a magnificent tower at the North Pole of the world, and several armies dressed in different costumes Fighting near the tower. The grand thunderstorm created by the magicians can be clearly seen in space.
"Oh, the four northern kingdoms are competing for the 'Tower of Itania'. They believe that this tower leads to the source of the world. The power in the tower can fulfill any wish of mortals, even immortality, but soon they will find themselves It's so wrong... This tower is just a weather controller, and it has been abandoned for a long time, all equipment has been removed, and now only a stone shell remains."
Hao Ren observed a civilization from this perspective for the first time. And there was a true god explaining beside him, a strange feeling came to his heart, but he quickly returned to his normal state of mind: "You made this place?"
"That's right. It was created thousands of years ago, directly creating the planet and the entire ecosystem." Raven 12345 smiled, "There is no earlier history, and there is no biological evolution process. This 'world view' is seen by people on Earth today. It may be a bit of a challenge to science, but in fact there are more than one such planet, and the aborigines on these planets can still live well. As long as they can develop smoothly, sooner or later they will supplement the knowledge they need on other planets.”
Hao Ren looked at Raven 12345 curiously: "Is this related to my question just now?"
The goddess sister smiled: "It's related—the current mainstream thinking on this planet is atheism. They smashed my temple many years ago. Of course, I didn't contact them even when the temple was still there. After all, they developed It went smoothly, and I didn't interfere. So strictly speaking, they didn't know my existence at all, and the temple back then was just a... huh, weird stuff."
Hao Ren almost fell from space on the spot.
"Is it unbelievable?" Raven 12345 looked at Hao Ren's distressed look with a smirk, "A world of swords and magic, but atheism is more respected than many planets where technology is paramount, the reason is simple: they came into contact with supernatural power earlier , and they have their own special racial talents, so they have been able to control some natural forces by themselves from a long time ago, wind, fire, thunder and lightning... Although they are very weak, they used this to get rid of their fear of natural forces early , When the thunder of nature is just a bigger lightning in the impression, they no longer believe that there is a god living in the sky, and they believe that it is a very powerful magician."
"...It's incredible." Hao Ren didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh.
"That's the interesting thing about Genesis, because it's hard to be sure how the things you create will develop. Sometimes two almost identical worlds will develop very differently, and the 'intellect' of creatures is the most important reason for this difference. Common reasons. After all, many races think about things differently."
Hao Ren was a little puzzled: "You didn't show up and tell them about the true God?"
"Why show up?" Raven 12345 folded his arms, "They can solve the problems they encounter in survival by themselves, so they don't need gods, and there is no problem with the operation of this planet, so I don't need to show up, since neither side Necessary for contact, do I show up just to show off that I once created this planet? I'm busy—and the Apostle of Xiling hates worthless behavior."
What she said was so reasonable, but Hao Ren still found it unbelievable that it sounded like a matter of course: After all, it was too far from the image of gods in many worlds. Raven 12345 saw the other party's entanglement, and she just smiled indifferently: "Everything must have value. Some races establish contact with gods because of this need, and some races rely on atheism to maintain society because they This stage of development has reached this stage. The civilization on this planet may one day realize that there is a true God in this universe—for example, when they explore the depths of the universe and find some traces of corrections, or they may discover that they When there are man-made traces of the planet. But that will be a long time later, and their understanding of God will be very different from other races... But anyway, that is their own business."
Raven 12345 paused, and shook his head slightly: "I didn't create life for anyone to worship me, and I believe the same is true for the goddess in the Dream Plane. Although she looks half-baked, from your description, it can be seen that When she created life, her purpose was very simple: on the one hand, to explore the universe, on the other hand... just to make the surroundings lively."
"I probably understand," Hao Ren heard something from Raven 12345's words, "It seems that to the true god, the 'betrayal' of mortals is itself a false proposition...or there is no such term at all."
"There is no expectation, so there is no disappointment. Sometimes gods are not just magnanimous to people, but simply have different values, so they don't feel betrayed or offended by human beings at all. After all, religion is a social activity of human beings themselves, and God... It's just that those guys forcibly dragged them out to be a mascot for the hot atmosphere. I really felt bad and I did a little favor for them, like a nanny. Anyway, I see it this way, the atmosphere in Star Field is a little different, we No discussion," Raven 12345 spread his hands with a wry smile, "Last year I organized prayer messages from the entire universe on a whim, and guess what is the most pious and heartfelt sentence among them?"
Hao Ren shook his head, how could he know this.
"Thank you for the ten-day leave given by the goddess—that's what a child said," Raven 12345 couldn't laugh or cry, "They have a prostration once a year, and the school has a long holiday during the prostration."
Hao Ren: "...this is too real!"
"Most people are very real, especially after they know that praying to God will not fulfill their wishes of conquering the world and immortality, they pay more attention to those very real benefits," Raven 12345 waved his hand and suddenly tugged Hao Ren flew to the side, "Let's get out of here first, there's a dark elf down there who just assembled an astronomical telescope, it's the first test today, and it's looking over here."
Hao Ren was dragged far away before stopping, while Raven 12345 was looking at the starlight on one side of the horizon. On the surface of the planet below, an elf was also holding the first telescope on the planet to look at the same starlight. of a starry sky.
Raven 12345 thought for a while, rubbed his fingers lightly, the law of light was temporarily changed, and the starry sky that can be seen on this planet suddenly became brighter and clearer, although it was only a small change that was difficult to detect with the naked eye. But enough to give a stargazer a little surprise.
"Let him see clearly, it's not easy to have a sunny day," the goddess smirked, "Anyway, none of them has accurately calculated the degree of interference of the atmosphere on starlight." (To be continued~^~)
