The visitor's voice had a hint of cynical frivolity.
It sounds like a creature that is full of contempt for everything worldly.
Lucifer looked up following the sound.
See that bastard Constantine, a running dog of the empire.
The other person was wearing a full-body windbreaker as always.
His hair was as messy as a chicken coop.
Even if he was chosen as the messenger of communication between the two universes.
Constantine did not change his character either.
In full view of everyone, he walked from the door to the long bar of the bar.
He tapped the tabletop a few times with his hand.
An interface was summoned with his movement, emitting a faint glow in the air.
Constantine did not look at the information on the interface, but looked at Lucifer who was wiping the wine glass again.
Among the many gods and demons who surrendered to the empire, Lucifer was the only one he could talk to.
The main reason may be that Lucifer runs a bar.
He has a lot in common with this alcoholic.
"Aren't you willing to put down the cup in your hand and welcome me?" Constantine said teasingly, "Great Lord Lucifer."
"If I had to salute and greet everyone, then I wouldn't have to run my bar. I can just greet them." Lucifer placed the glass in front of Constantine and poured him a glass of wine.
The golden wine emitted a faint glow under the dim light.
A wine brewed by a fallen angel who once ruled Hell with other Satans.
While it has a great background, it also carries a hint of irony in fate.
Just like the dynasties that have collapsed in human history.
Those who are high and mighty will never imagine that they will fall into the dust and become the pariahs who are fooled by others.
Lucifer and other gods and demons never thought that one day they would surrender to humans.
Living in servility under the rule of a human king.
"I am a big shot now." Constantine said with a hint of pride, "I am a big shot that you cannot even imagine. In the past, you could still laugh at me as an ignorant mortal. After I came back from the empire, our situation was completely different. In my eyes, you are a pitiful and ignorant god."
Lucifer remained silent.
He had no intention of arguing with Constantine about such matters.
"How was the Empire Tour? I heard someone died!
It looks like the crossing is not going to be smooth.”
"Indeed, several old guys died on their way to the Empire." Constantine curled his lips and said, "They died because they were too curious. The way they died makes me shudder just thinking about it."
"Is it so dangerous? Even though the Empire is so powerful, there is no way it can protect you?"
"You can never imagine how the Empire's trains span two universes. Even if you were once a Satan, a lord of hell, or a fallen angel who thought humans were stupid, you can never imagine the Empire's handiwork."
Hearing this, Lucifer looked up.
He had been looked down upon by Constantine several times since the Empire came.
In the past, Constantine would never have the courage to talk to him like this.
When the Empire came, all hell broke loose.
When people learned about another universe and could hear voices from another universe, they lost respect for God.
Those who believed in Christ and Allah in the past now all believed in the emperor.
The priests and sacrifices who shouted that there would be no world without God and no humanity without Allah have disappeared.
Lucifer had no way to deal with Constantine's contempt.
Times have changed.
God is no longer an object for mortals to look up to.
Lucifer's status is not low, and his stories can be found in many mythological books.
The new gods are different from the old gods.
The old gods were born from human beliefs and are derivatives of civilized races.
The new gods are created by the divine waves of the universe.
In ancient feudal society, beliefs were complex and gods had multiple names referring to themselves.
The names of some gods in some religions that have been lost in the long river of history have been forgotten.
Those gods will also perish.
Their domain is created by the dreams and beliefs of their believers. The more believers there are, the more glorious the domain will be.
Just like a city, the more people there are, the more glorious it is, and the bigger it will be.
Without believers, God's realm will gradually become desolate and eventually disappear in the violent ether currents, turning into countless fragments.
Due to the particularity of faith and the mystery of the subspace, the saying "believe it if you want it, and don't believe it if you don't want it" is not just a joke.
In a world with complete reality barriers, God's influence on reality is very weak.
Because of the connection between believers and gods, it is often easier for gods to punish believers than it is for them to punish those who offend or disrespect them.
This was also the idea used by the former emperor to fight against the Four Gods.
Just isolate it and don't touch it.
The four gods are dead to humans.
For this reason, it is understandable that Lorgar's perfect city was burned down.
He has put the Emperor's cause in grave jeopardy.
Faith pointing to the Emperor is not only pointing to the Emperor, it also has the potential to allow the Four Gods to establish a connection with reality.
The existence of the Perfect City has put the Emperor's plan in jeopardy.
Take Lucifer, one of the old gods.
He has the titles of Satan, Fallen Angel, and Morning Star.
Each name would point to Lucifer himself.
However, these are not the most terrible things.
The most terrifying thing is the meaning of Lucifer's existence.
Every time the pastors sing of God, every time they praise God, every time they talk about the enemies of Jehovah, every time they talk about the temptations of man, they point to it.
When humans commit evil deeds and have evil thoughts, they think about it and nourish it continuously.
Many people have misunderstandings about the act of sacrifice.
It is not a top-quality offering, and only a lot of believers praying earnestly can be considered a sacrifice.
Just like paying taxes, what one needs to pay is only the surface amount of personal income.
Invisible taxes hide in every corner.
The cold air you breathe in the mall has been taxed. It does not mean that only those who meet the tax payment standard are called taxpayers.
The same is true of sacrifice.
When the name of the god is recited, a sacrifice is provided to him invisibly.
The destruction of the perfect city was a very correct decision.
The empire erased all the achievements of the gods and built a firewall to isolate humans.
The most terrifying thing about the firewall is that it blocks everything human.
Unless the name of the god is clearly stated, the other party will have no chance of receiving the believer's faith and spiritual strength.
But even so, the gods and demons didn't get much.
Lucifer is also being weakened.
He is becoming a pathetic mortal being, and will grow old, get sick, and die like other mortals.
Constantine had no idea that he had provoked the former Lord of Hell.
Lucifer looked at Constantine, but finally did not lose his temper.
He reached out and filled the other person's empty glass, then continued to wipe the empty glass in his hand.
"Do you know what lies deep in the subspace?" Constantine lowered his voice. "You can never imagine."
Lucifer stopped what he was doing.
He certainly hadn't explored the depths of the Warp.
As a fallen angel, he is merely a god born in the soil of human civilization.
He can reach as far as humans can reach.
He knew that behind the heavens where the realm of the gods was located there was an even more vast world.
However, he never tried to gain a deeper understanding of the celestial realms.
Not to mention that the heavens have barriers that even gods cannot cross, Lucifer and other gods and demons have no way of getting too far away from the humans who provide them with power and faith.
Only some forgotten ancient gods were unwilling to perish, and resolutely found ways to cross the barriers and enter the deep and terrifying place of nothingness, mystery and terror.
Those people never came back either.
Although Lucifer was once the lord of hell, he had never entered the space that devoured gods.
"The things there are more terrifying than those in hell. If you say their names or violate the management regulations, those monsters will rush in and twist the host's soul and flesh, turning it into a complete monster.
Lucifer heard this answer and continued to wipe the wine glass. He continued to ask casually.
"Have you met the Emperor?"
These words made everyone in the tavern prick up their ears and look at Constantine in front of the bar.
The daily Imperial Daily proclaimed the holiness and greatness of the Imperial Emperor.
Now even three-year-old children know about the Holy Emperor.
Who doesn't want to know about a madman who wants to establish a universal empire
Look at how many noses and eyes this guy has to dare to do such a thing.
