"If your creation decided to abandon you one day, what would you do?"
Hao Ren looked into Raven 12345's eyes and asked. He hesitated for a long time before he spoke, but when he really said it out loud, he felt no pressure at all. He waited for the answer of the real goddess in front of him. The latter's beautiful, otherworldly eyes flickered with a mysterious glimmer. After a while, her eyes curved slightly. Raven 12345 smiled and said, "What is your definition of 'abandonment'?"
"This …" Hao Ren was a little stunned. He suddenly realized that he had asked a question rashly, but he did not even understand many of the key definitions, or rather, he did not have a standard in his mind. "Probably … such as not believing in you, denying that you are their creator, or simply worshipping other gods and so on."
"Oh, it seems that the 'creation' you are referring to here is those intelligent beings." Raven 12345 said as she snapped her fingers, and the scenery around them suddenly changed. The withered heavenly garden disappeared in an instant, and the sky full of stars and endless space suddenly appeared as if it had appeared from a dream. Hao Ren felt a sense of weightlessness. When he came to his senses, he was already standing in the vast space, and some planets were rapidly enlarging in his field of vision. Although he could not feel himself moving, he knew that he was quickly passing through space under the guidance of Raven 12345.
"Creation … Although I have not created a universe, I like to create some celestial bodies when I have nothing to do, such as stars and planets, and larger nebulae. These are all considered creation, but these things obviously do not have the idea of 'abandoning' the creator." Raven 12345 brought Hao Ren through space and gradually approached a grayish-blue planet. "And when I have more time, I will also create some life … Sometimes from zero, let life evolve from a single cell, and sometimes, like in human myths, directly create an entire ecosystem, planning everything at once and letting them reproduce and evolve. The former would take a long time to evolve, while the latter would become as lively as Earth in a short period of time. This is a very interesting job, not just a research project. "
The situation on the surface of the planet quickly magnified in Hao Ren's eyes. He saw that the planet was already full of vitality, and a civilization in the state of sword and magic was thriving on its surface. He could see warriors riding wyverns patrolling in the lower atmosphere, and some tall demi-humans were busy building walls under the supervision of the overseers. There was a magnificent tower at the north pole of the world, and several armies in different uniforms were fighting near the tower. The grand thunderstorm created by the sorcerers was clearly visible in space.
"Oh, the four northern countries are fighting for the 'Itania Tower'. They believe that this tower leads to the source of the world, and the power in the tower can realize any wish of mortals, including immortality. But soon they will find that they are ridiculously wrong … This tower is just a weather controller, and has been abandoned for a long time. All the equipment has been dismantled, and now, only a stone shell is left."
It was the first time that Hao Ren observed a civilization from this perspective, and there was a true god explaining beside him. A strange feeling came over him, but he quickly returned to his usual state of mind. "You created this place?"
"Yes, 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' worldview 'may be a little challenging to science in the eyes of the people on Earth today, but in fact, there is more than one such planet, and the indigenous people on these planets can still live well. As long as they can develop smoothly, sooner or later, they will make up for the knowledge they need on other planets. "
Hao Ren looked at Raven 12345 curiously. "Does this have anything to do with my question just now?"
The goddess smiled. "It's related. The current mainstream ideology on this planet is atheism. They smashed my temple many years ago. Of course, even when the Temple of Light was still around, I didn't come into contact with them. After all, they were developing smoothly, so I didn't interfere. So strictly speaking, they didn't even know of my existence. Back then, the Temple of Light was just a … hehe, a strange thing. "
Hao Ren almost fell from space on the spot.
"Is it that incredible?" Raven 12345 looked at Hao Ren with a smirk. "A world of swords and magic, but more atheism than many technologically advanced planets. The reason is simple: they came into contact with supernatural forces early, and they have a special racial talent, so from a long time ago, they could control some natural forces by themselves. Wind, fire, thunder … Although very weak, they got rid of their fear of the force of nature early on. When the thunder of nature is just a bigger lightning spell, 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 quite incredible." Hao Ren did not know what to say, and could only sigh.
"This is the interesting thing about the Genesis Era, because it is very difficult to determine how the things you create will develop. Sometimes, two almost identical worlds will develop completely differently, and the 'intelligence' of living things is the most common reason for this difference. After all, many races think in different ways. "
Hao Ren was a little puzzled. "You didn't show up to tell them about the true God?"
"Why did I show up?" Raven 12345 crossed her arms. "They can solve the problems they encounter in their lives, so they don't need God. There is no problem with the operation of this planet, so I don't need to show up. Since there is no need for both sides to interact, why should I show up just to show off that I have created this planet? I am very busy, and the Xi Ling apostles hate worthless actions. "
What she said was so reasonable, but even though it sounded like it was a matter of course, Hao Ren still felt that it was unbelievable. After all, this was too different from the image of God in many worlds. Raven 12345 could see that he was struggling, and she just smiled indifferently. "Everything has to have value. Some races establish contact with God because they need it, and some races rely on atheism to maintain their society because they have reached this stage of development. 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 correction, or when they find artificial traces of their own planet. But that's a matter for a long time to come, and their understanding of God will be very different from other races … But no matter what, that's their own business. "
Raven 12345 paused and shook her head slightly. "I did not create life for others to worship me, and I believe the same is true of the goddess in the Plane of Dreams. Raven 12345 paused and shook her head slightly. "I did not create life for others to worship me, and I believe that the Goddess in the Plane of Dreams is the same."
"I think I get it," Hao Ren heard something from Raven 12345's words. "It seems that for the true God, the 'betrayal' of mortals is a false proposition in itself … Or rather, there is no such thing at all."
"There is no expectation, so there is no disappointment. Sometimes God is not just generous to people, it is simply a difference in values, so he does not feel that there is any betrayal or offense from humans. After all, religion is human's own social activity, and God … is just a mascot forced by those guys to stir up the atmosphere, and when they feel bad, they help them a little, like a nanny. Anyway, that is how I see it. The atmosphere in Galactica is a little different, let's not talk about it. "Raven 12345 smiled bitterly and spread out her hands." Last year, on a whim, I compiled the prayer messages from the entire universe. Guess what is the most sincere and heartfelt one? "
Hao Ren shook his head. How would he know?
"Thank the Goddess for giving me ten days off — that's it, said by a child." Raven 12345 did not know whether to laugh or cry. "They have a big church once a year, and the school has a long holiday during the big church."
Hao Ren said, "… This is too practical!"
"Most people are very practical, especially after they know that praying to God will not help them conquer the world and achieve immortality, they pay more attention to the practical benefits." Raven 12345 waved her hand and suddenly dragged Hao Ren to the side. "Let's leave here first. There is a Dark Elf below who has just assembled an astronomical telescope. Today is the first test, and he is looking over here."
Hao Ren was dragged far away before stopping, while Raven 12345 looked at the starlight on the side of the horizon. On the surface of the planet below, an elf was also holding the planet's first telescope and looking at the same starry sky.
Raven 12345 thought for a while and gently rubbed her fingers. The pattern of light was temporarily changed, and the starry sky that could be seen on the planet suddenly became brighter and clearer. Although it was only a little change that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, it was enough to give a stargazer a little surprise.
"Let him see more clearly. It's not easy to make a sunny day," the goddess said with a smirk. "Anyway, no one has accurately calculated the degree of interference of the atmosphere on the starlight."
