"Besides this issue aside, we have to consider another possibility: the defensive technology that works against aliens may not necessarily be useful for us. Humans and silver elves have innate differences in their nervous systems, not to mention our poor two planets."

"I've also considered these issues," Belsetia nodded lightly, "The key issue right now is that we still have too little information... After all, it's only the first contact, and too many things can only be speculated. So no matter what How, contact must still continue. On this basis, I think we can accept their invitation to "cooperate" for the time being, and at least have some technical exchanges first-this will also help us further understand this "promise" The unthinkable things mentioned by 'civilization'."

Hearing Belsetia's opinion, Gawain also slightly nodded and said: "We are far away from their planet, and at present the two civilizations can only barely communicate by remote communication. This is a great inconvenience, but it is also just right. 'Safe distance', we don't have to worry about 'cooperation' being too deep, and we don't have to worry about 'cooperation' getting out of control. After all, the long distance makes it impossible for either us or 'Noy' to grasp the true meaning of this interstellar cooperation. This is actually a good thing.”

Due to the long distance and technical limitations, the two civilizations that have barely established interstellar communication can only use limited channels to transmit information, and they will not be able to really contact for a long foreseeable period of time-a period where neither side can take the initiative. Perhaps this extremely inconvenient situation is the ideal form for the first contact between two alien civilizations.

Faced with Gawain's statement, the two empire rulers nodded in agreement, and Rosetta immediately brought up another matter: "What I care more about now is actually another matter... about their 'gods'. '."

"A civilization that has achieved 'coexistence' with its own gods..." The Silver Queen's expression quickly became serious, obviously not only Gao Wen was thinking about this issue, but she was always thinking about this matter in her heart, "Maybe this This is the part that surprised me the most in today's 'communication'. Coexistence... what kind of coexistence is it that allows them to send their own gods into the universe as 'observers'?"

Gao Wen didn't speak, but just frowned. His thoughtful performance quickly attracted the attention of the Silver Queen, who immediately asked, "What did you think of?"

"Actually, I've been thinking about a question..." Gao Wen slowly opened his mouth while thinking, "Since the establishment of the Theocracy Council, we have been committed to breaking the 'two-way shackles' between gods and mortals—whether it is to eliminate The "spiritual seal" in the mortal group is to gradually "loosen" the gods from the gods, or it is a specific technology such as anti-divinity barriers and mental protection systems. The ultimate goal of these things is to promote the relationship between humans and gods. Segmentation, but what happens after the division is completed?"

"After the division is completed?" Belsetia frowned slightly. Obviously, she hadn't thought of this step at all. Most of the gods in this world are still on the throne, and the mortals of the Loren kingdoms are now far away from completely getting rid of the spiritual stamp. There is still a long way to go, and it is obviously too early to start thinking about things after the separation of humans and gods.

But she was not at all surprised that Gao Wen raised this question—after all, "Uncle Gao Wen" had always thought one step ahead of others, and it was even said that as early as the Ansu Kingdom, he had already set his sights on the sky, So it is obviously only a routine operation for him to start thinking about the order of the "post-mythological era" before the gods are untied.

Rosetta, who was sitting on the other side, seemed to be drawn into his thoughts. He frowned slightly, and said in deliberation: "You mean, when the chains between gods and mortals are completely severed, a new order must be established. To stabilize the respective 'positions' of God and man, this is a problem that the Theocratic Council will have to face in the future, and at the same time, do you think those 'Noi people'...have achieved this?"

Gawain nodded slowly: "The situation of the 'Noi people' may not necessarily apply to us, and their experience may not necessarily be effective on our planet, but there is a truth that we have now figured out ——The gods are not actually our enemies, and as long as the problem of two-way shackles is solved, they will not be a threat to the survival of civilization, then the answer is obvious: if we finally achieve the release, then we must and Many gods 'coexist peacefully'.

"There are already examples of this point—the senior advisors of the Theocracy Council, the god of nature Amorn, the goddess of magic Mirmina, the dragon god Enya, and if I expand it, the upper-level narrator Naritel will also be included. And Duarte, these are the gods of the past, but now they have all achieved coexistence with mortal society in some form. The relationship between Yiren' and their gods may be very close.

"If there is any key difference, I guess... there is only one "complete disclosure, making it the norm in public perception" - from the "Noi people" when they mentioned the "Observer Project" It’s not hard to see from the attitude that it’s probably not a secret in their society that the gods take the position of observers and go to monitor the magic tide.”

"Through disclosure makes it the norm in public perception..." The Silver Queen subconsciously repeated what Gawain said, her eyes slowly widening during the process, "Wait, you mean to let The existence of several senior advisors is completely open to the public? This...isn't this completely contrary to the norms of the Theocratic Council so far?!"

Rosetta next to him couldn't help but frowned: "We have been carefully controlling the leakage of information from senior advisers, and even within the council, we have implemented strict confidentiality regulations for personnel with authority below the second level, in order to To prevent too many mortals from knowing the existence of those senior advisors—all of this is to prevent the re-establishment of the link of faith..."

"I didn't say that I want to announce their existence now, let alone that this 'announcement' is unconditional." Gao Wen understood the nervous reaction of the two people in front of him, and he just smiled slightly, "It's just Have you ever thought about one thing - if the chain between humans and gods is completely cut off, those gods who have broken away from the gods are destined to live together with mortals in the form of "old gods". If we don't stabilize their 'state' of 'coexisting with mortals', we are actually leaving hidden dangers for the recovery of divinity."

The Silver Queen finally vaguely understood Gao Wen's thoughts: "...You mean, if the trend of thought 'determines' that a certain god's position is still there and the god is vacant, then this position will be filled sooner or later, and the position will be blocked. The best way to solve this loophole is to create a new trend of thought, a trend of 'God is no longer a god', to completely... 'overwrite' the old trend of thought?"

Gao Wen didn't answer her directly, but suddenly brought up an irrelevant topic: "Do you know about the 'Civil Chaos in the Brumy Moon' that happened a hundred years ago in Old Ansu?"

Rosetta nodded: "Of course, this is a well-known history."

"There is civil strife in the misty moon, the throne of Ansu is vacant, and the descendants of Moen with thin bloodlines join forces to fight - there is no king on the throne, and at the same time, everyone has the possibility to become a king, but this chaotic situation will finally end, But it was not any of the 'heirs' in the melee at that time, but an 'illegitimate child' who was suddenly pressed on the throne."

Gao Wen spoke slowly, but suddenly changed the topic.

"It is impossible for us to 'eliminate' the existence of gods fundamentally, because the existence of gods is the objective law of our world. It is useless to deny this. We cannot create godless in a world where gods exist. Order, so... why don't we just 'make' the rules for gods and men ourselves?

"I have always had a vague 'feeling' that I may have grasped the ultimate form of relationship between gods and mortals... In this state, we do not deny the existence of gods, because gods are there Yes, it is an individual that can be seen and touched; we will not try to eliminate a god, because the god itself has long been a part of the world's norms, and it is the most essential emotion deep in the thinking of intelligent creatures. We cannot destroy ourselves as mortals. The seven emotions and six desires cannot destroy the "soil" that the gods produced; we can't put the gods under house arrest, and we can't isolate them from the world forever, because...we shouldn't treat the existence of those who have been sheltering all beings in the world for a long time. Do this kind of thing, even if it is their voluntary.

"In this final form of getting along, God... is very likely to be a kind of 'social entity' that has lost its old aura. It is a powerful individual that the public can understand and can still accept rationally after understanding. We will soon Clearly know how the gods were born and evolved, and also clearly know how these gods changed from 'he' to 'he' and 'she' step by step.

"By that day, no new gods will be created, and no existing gods will get out of control, because by that day... we have actually lost the ability to shape gods from thoughts, and we have also lost the ability to produce spiritual stamps. Based on the basic conditions, perhaps mortals will never be able to achieve truly broad 'reason', but at the very least, by then all our awe and blind obedience will hardly point to an illusory trend of thought projection.

"In the end, we did not defeat the gods, we did not deny the gods, we did not destroy the gods and were not destroyed by the gods, we did not control the gods and we were not controlled by the gods - in the end, when the mortal civilization of this planet came of age and stepped out of this planet At that time, we should have set off with the gods instead of leaving them in the old world.

"Only in this way, I think I can explain what is going on with the weird situation revealed by the 'Noi people' at the end."

Chapter 1438 Ancient Echo

At this opportune time and occasion, Gao Wen uttered at once what he had conceived in his mind for a long time—these matters had been mulled over and brewed in his mind for a long time, even as early as the establishment of the Theocratic Council. At that time, he was thinking about these issues related to the final order of man and god, but at that time he was very clear - the theocratic council at that time was far from the time to consider these.

But now, a foreign civilization that suddenly established contact, a "pioneer" who seemed to have broken free from the shackles one step earlier, made Gawain realize that some things should be discussed in advance.

To be honest, he is not sure that his idea must be correct. After all, the "future" he conceived can even be described as unimaginable in the eyes of the world today. It is too advanced an idea, even so advanced that he himself does not I don't know if it can be realized, but the appearance of the "Nuoyi people" and the few words they revealed during the communication made Gao Wen vaguely feel that his thinking might be correct.

"This sounds...an incredible future," the round table was quiet for a long time, and Belsetia was the first to break the silence, "it's not so much a conception about the future, but more like depicting some kind of imaginary future." paradise……"

"But this 'imaginary paradise' has its basis," Rosetta Augustus on the side also broke the silence, "After the chain of belief between man and God is completely severed, we really must consider The question of where the gods go, if at that time all the gods continue to be left vacant, and the people continue to be ignorant of the core secrets of the "Theocratic Council", and continue to hide those "old gods" who have left the gods, from In a sense we may have made the mistake we were trying to avoid..."

"Yes, the mistake of 'shaping the trend of mystical tendencies'," Gao Wen nodded, and took Rosetta's words, "And what I said can't be said to be completely conceived, in fact... this matter has already happened. There are some signs."

"There are already signs?" Belsetia said with surprise, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Gawain thought for a while, and said with a strange expression: "Do you know... what the goddess of magic, Mirmina, is doing recently?"

Rosetta and Belsetia looked at each other and said in unison: "What is she doing?"

Gao Wen didn't answer directly, but brought up another matter: "Film Pictures is producing a series of films about the goddess of magic, starting from 'the original universal factor X in magic research', to the goddess of magic From the birth and growth of thoughts, to the goddess's self-destruction in order to release the shackles of magical authority on mortal mages-of course, we all know that there is an artistic processing part, but this will be the first movie with gods as the protagonist. [-]. In the phantom drama that interprets mythological stories in the same way as the interpretation of character biographies, all artistic processing is necessary.

"The Theocratic Council has provided technical and financial support for this. I think this film will greatly promote the progress of popularizing the 'concept of thought' among the people. The belief concept of the goddess is more open than any other believers, and most of the magicians are not conscious as believers at all, and ordinary people have no access to the traditional field of magic. The acceptance rate will be very high, and the resistance will be diluted by the huge audience base.

"Film will also make adjustments in the presentation of the film to make it 'look like a documentary without emotion', so as to reduce the impression of 'elimination of belief' it gives people."

Listening to Gao Wen's introduction, Rosetta nodded slightly: "I also saw this matter in the internal documents of the Theocratic Council, but I didn't know much about it... Wait, could it be that lady..."

"She is the 'technical support' provided by the Theocratic Council to the film crew," Gao Wen laughed. "At first, Film approached the Council and said that he needed detailed information about the Goddess of Magic to complete the filming, and then... I don't know much about what happened in the middle, anyway, the end result is that Ms. Gaota pinched an avatar and went directly to the crew. Of course, a full set of protection was done during this process."

Rosetta and Belsetia looked at each other in dismay - they really didn't expect to do such a thing...

"This may be some kind of 'beginning'," Gawain's voice brought them back from their astonishment. "This film is a beginning, and Ms. Gauta's activities are a useful attempt. Unlike the Conservative Phalanx, this would be an active, proactive attempt at 'ideological intervention' and an extension of the 'theocratic secularization' I mentioned earlier. If its effects work as expected... I think The state of 'coexistence' mentioned by the 'Noi' is not unimaginable to us."

The two rulers of the empire in front of Gao Wen fell silent at the same time. They seemed to be deducing the future trajectory in meditation, or they might be digesting some unimaginable "pictures". Said in a low voice: "I suddenly hope to see that day come soon..."

"This day may come sooner than expected," Gawain nodded lightly, "The appearance of the 'Noi people' is bound to have an impact on the entire society, just like the war in the wasteland has promoted the process of alliance order , the communication with an alien civilization will definitely have a huge impact on the 'trend of thought' on this planet, we can use this as an opportunity..."

……

Deep underground in the Deep Blue Well, the continuous low humming sound gently echoed in the core control hall, and countless ancient devices were running at full power.

The bright lights descending from the ceiling illuminate the neatly arranged metal columns one after another. The indicator lights on the surface of the columns flash rapidly, continuously transmitting and transforming massive amounts of data, and at the center of the "Ophelia Matrix" , a figure was sitting quietly on the pale golden "throne", staring at the computing units in front of him expressionlessly.

In the past many years, Ophelia's matrix has never been active in this underground facility in the form of a "carrier". She used to be very resistant to this, because it would always make her fall into a state of self-cognition confusion and further Reduce the operating efficiency of the entire matrix, but not long ago, she made for herself this body that is almost exactly the same as Ophelia Norton in history, and even put the main connection device of the body in the center of the matrix, which is A daring attempt that surprised even herself, and what surprised her even more...it didn't feel bad to do it.

She is sitting here quietly, watching her "noumenon" quietly in a "vehicle". This novel perspective even makes her feel very... interesting.

"The data slice number 12665 ​​has been processed and is being compared with the rest of the data."

The prompt sound of the automatic system sounded in the hall, and Ophelia on the throne blinked lightly. She looked in a certain direction in the hall, and an iron soldier immediately received the instruction and took a step forward. This soldier will The data lock on the back of the neck was connected to the nearest computing node, and a low hum came from the depths of that node, and in the midair in front of Ophelia, a clear and complex holographic image suddenly appeared .

There are complex numbers and symbols jumping on the image, as well as a large number of rapidly changing curves. The refresh rate of all data exceeds the limit of human thinking, but to Ophelia Matrix, this is just an insignificant part of her thinking thread. part of it.

"Has this part of the sensor ever recorded the largest abnormal energy fluctuation so far... The data is incomplete, but it seems that it can be supplemented by the records left by the nearby sensors..."

Ophelia whispered to herself, her gaze moved slowly on those rapidly changing projections—but in fact, she didn't need to do this at all, these things flowed in her calculation matrix, and she didn't need to use this at all. The concrete body can browse every piece of data in the entire underground base, but she still does so.

She gave herself a very good reason - someone once said a word: life needs a sense of ritual.

"...a very high peak of magic power, not produced from the Deep Blue Well, this part of the reading is very suspicious... No man-made equipment in the Gondor period can produce such a peak..." Ophelia's expression was a little bit She became serious, and she felt that she might have captured those key records—the shadow left when the magic tide fluctuated across the planet 700 years ago, "This peak can be compared with the part of the 12665 ​​data slice The records form a complete waveform...but its function expression is very weird, and does not conform to the geometric space in common sense...the particularity of the deep sea?"

Ophelia muttered, the data extracted from the ancient shallow area storage center before is vast, and due to the impact of the Deep Blue Well explosion, there are still a large number of damaged fragments in these data, it is necessary to sort out these things, It is not an easy job to restore it clearly and find out the parts that may be connected with the magic tide. Even with the powerful calculation power of the Ophelia matrix, it is quite difficult to deal with it.

Maybe...we should consider borrowing some computing power from the neural network, but first we need to solve the conversion problem between the two data processing methods. The neural network of the Cecil Empire is not compatible with the ancient Iron Man network...

A branch thread was generated in the Ophelia Matrix to think about the feasibility of establishing a data interface between the Iron Man network and the neural network, and just as she shifted part of her attention to this issue, from a certain A very short period of "noise" is suddenly fed back from a certain data slice processed by the computing node.

This is an extremely short record, very abruptly inserted between two normal sensor readings, it does not conform to the data format used by the Deep Blue Well control center back then, but it left a deep imprint on a certain sensor— —It looked like it was just a brief glitch, one of the countless error fragments produced when the Deep Blue Well's control system crashed, and the Ophelia Matrix marked it as "garbage data" within a thousandth of a second ’, but in the next thousandth of a second, she unmarked and extracted the “noise.”

She didn't know why she suddenly forked a thread to deal with this "interference noise". It seemed to be some kind of intuition... But there are only these cold steel machines in this underground facility, and the computing nodes made of steel will also produce "intuition." "What?

"...not from the Deep Blue Well, but it's not like those 'abnormal signals' either." Ophelia "stared" in confusion at this piece of information that was extracted separately and looked like gibberish, "Why does the system I'm going to leave this thing..."

She subconsciously checked the system log corresponding to this piece of "garbled code". Fortunately, the content of this part of the log is still complete. The log shows that this piece of garbled information was automatically recorded by a sensor located near the confinement ring at the base of the Deep Blue Well, and the recorded The time... was one hundredth of a second before the Deep Blue Well exploded.

The humming sound echoing in the Ophelia Matrix suddenly stopped for a moment.

One hundredth of a second before the explosion.

At that time, all the sensors hadn't been damaged, the Deep Blue Well was still operating in an orderly manner, and the magic tide... Theoretically, it should have not yet reached this planet.

Theoretically, the so-called "interference" and "noise" should not appear in the system at that time.

In the hall, the buzzing sound of the computing matrix sounded again instantly, the original processing thread was quickly adjusted, a part of the new computing power was allocated synchronously, and that inconspicuous "noise" began to be processed over and over again, Ophelia Submatrix tried all possible ways to restore and recompile these "garbled codes" that seemed to be forced into the system, until finally, an extremely vague, even almost completely distorted sound appeared in the system——

"Feel sorry."

……

When the midday sun shone on the spire of Cecil Church of the Holy Light, the twelve bells rang on time as every day. The loud bells broke the tranquility of the church district and echoed over the city.

Veronica in the prayer room suddenly opened her eyes.

She quietly stared at the platinum scepter placed on the altar in front of her, as if she was staring at a symbol that had been frozen in history.

The melodious bell still echoed outside the window, echoing in the sky.

After a long period of silence and staring, she finally stretched out her hand lightly, holding the platinum scepter in her hand as she did countless times in normal times.

In the depths of the Tarash Plain, hundreds of mimetic magical nodes were instantly activated, and layers of holy light floated around Veronica. She quickly faded away from her perception, and her spirit was led by the "bridge" to a place that seemed infinitely far away from the world. The magnificent city created appeared in front of her.

The city is boundless, and the barriers cast by light are arranged in scales in the field of vision, and the majestic church spiers and towers can be seen. There are roads made of light connecting them, and the clouds and mist slowly rise and fall under these roads and towers. The holy chant lingered in the city like the wind, and in the center of the city, on a huge and boundless square, huge and shapeless crystals floated in mid-air. The crystal slowly rotated with the chant, constantly changing itself in the light every surface and every ridgeline.

Veronica stood quietly in front of the crystal, the platinum scepter in her hand was emitting a hot temperature as if it was burning.

After a long time, she finally said, "You did it back then, right?"

Chapter 1439 Some achievements are unknown

Veronica's voice echoed in the empty and spectacular Holy Light Square, but the crystal was silent and did not make any response.

It is just running quietly in the center of this endlessly vast yet endlessly lonely kingdom of God, as silent and precise as a machine, as it has been for the past 700 years.

Veronica quietly stared at the amorphous crystal in front of her eyes. During the long silence, no one knew what she was thinking. Finally, she slowly raised her head and looked at the crystals flowing across the sky above the Kingdom of God. River of Light.

Compared with a few years ago, the rivers of light flowing over the Holy Light Square have undergone tremendous changes. Many of the former tributaries have disappeared, and the remaining streams of light have basically changed their direction. They once completely pointed to the Holy Light. The God of Light, the power of faith that is completely imprisoned by the rules of the gods has gradually separated from the operation of this kingdom of God. Although they are still reflected in the domain of the God of Light, this "reflection" has become faint and weak like phantom.

However, there are still some subtle streams of light that focus on the huge amorphous crystal, and faintly resonate with the crystal itself. No matter how subtle the streams of light are, as long as they fluctuate slightly, the amorphous crystal will still respond .

"It turns out that this is the sense of disobedience I've always felt..." Veronica said softly, the platinum scepter was burning her palm, but this kind of "burning" on a purely spiritual level meant nothing to her. As if it didn't exist, "Is there an automatic response mechanism..."

She stared at the huge amorphous crystal for a long time, and finally retracted her gaze after a long time. Afterwards, the former leader of the rebels sighed, and took a slight step back: "Anyway... thank you for your protection."

A door of light opened not far behind her, which was the "passage" for the spiritual body to return to the real world. Veronica turned and walked towards the door of light, and just as she was about to step through the door, a sudden Ruowu's melodious "bell" suddenly came to her ears, and she immediately looked back at the crystal in surprise, only to see it running there quietly as always - the crisp chime like a wind chime The sound echoed in the square, as if it was just an echo that was "stored" in this space and originated hundreds of years ago.

at dusk.

Gawain, who was taking a walk by the Baishui River, widened his eyes in astonishment, staring at Veronica who suddenly rushed to find him: "Are you sure it was the God of Holy Light who detonated the Deep Blue Well 700 years ago?"

"Yes," Veronica held a platinum scepter and slowly walked forward beside Gawain, "I found the God of Light who detonated the dark blue in the storage system I mentioned to you last time. A 'imprint' left before the well... Please rest assured that my judgment in this regard will not be wrong. Over the years, I have established a connection with the God of Holy Light through a mimetic divine node. I am more devout than any of the most devout believers. Know 'Him'."

"Is it the one who knows the gods best who disobeys the gods?" Gawain sighed softly, "then the current state of the God of Holy Light... as you said, is already an 'automatic system' that can only respond automatically? "

"Yes, this explains a lot of my doubts, and it also explains an 'abnormality' recently discussed by the Theocratic Council—our transformation of the Church of the Holy Light was the earliest, with the fastest progress and the most obvious results. At this point, even if the God of Holy Light has not completely escaped from the divine position, he should at least have a certain degree of 'freedom', but we have never received any 'intention' from him. The council has always believed that this It is the cautious style of the human part of the God of Holy Light, but now it seems... the truth is different from what everyone thinks."

"The God of Holy Light no longer has a human part, and even the divine part has become a machine. This is the price of detonating the Deep Blue Well..." Gawain said softly. He looked at the Baishui River not far away, and saw Seeing the golden-red sunlight slanting on the river surface, the rays of light were fragmented and turbulent in the undulating water surface, which lacked some brilliance, but added a lot of desolation, "We never thought that this would happen again. But then again Speaking of which, although the God of Holy Light is already in this state, it didn’t seem much easier when we reformed the belief of Holy Light before. So many priests are imprisoned in the spiritual seal, and the situation of abandoning their faith and causing the backlash of Holy Light is also frequent. Happened..."

"This just proves the 'mechanical' nature of the laws of divinity in operation, and proves that all actions of the gods within their domain of authority are independent of their own will," Veronica nodded, "so even if the gods The human part of the God of Light has completely disappeared, and the divine part left by 'His' is still operating for hundreds of years, faith will be rewarded, prayers will be answered, and there will even be vague and mechanized' The oracle came down, and the believers were completely unaware of the changes in their gods."

"It makes people shudder, and it makes people feel a little... sad," Gawain couldn't help sighing softly, "One's own free will is so meaningless, and the pile of embers left after death can represent that you once existed. The full value of the past, the gods...the gods on the throne..."

He stopped in his tracks, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked: "What changes will happen if this state continues? Will the God of Holy Light, which operates completely with a divine mechanism, evolve into some kind of... threat?"

Before today, the Theocratic Council knew that there were only two kinds of gods besides those who were still in the position of gods. One was completely dead, and the other was like several senior advisers who died of divinity and retained their humanity. However, the situation of the demise of humanity and the preservation of divinity like the God of Holy Light is completely unprecedented. No one knows what will happen if a god who turns into an "automatic answering machine" stays on the god's seat for a long time, this makes Gao Wen feel a little bit worry.

Veronica lowered her head and thought about it seriously. After a while, she slowly shook her head: "I don't think there is any need to worry... According to my observations, according to the current situation of our transformation of the Holy Light Church, the divinity left by 'His' It should die out slowly—the teachings of Holy Light Protestantism completely avoid the 'sensitive elements' that lead to the out-of-control of divinity, and at the same time transform and guide the beliefs of all living beings to other places, and divinity itself is a mechanized operation. As long as it conforms to its operating laws, it will not make additional reactions, so as time goes by, that divinity and even the entire Kingdom of Holy Light should gradually disappear... just like Ms. Gaota and Mr. Lu. like the divinity.

"The only difference is that Ms. Gaota and Mr. Lu have remnants after the divinity fades, and there will be nothing left after the divinity of the God of Holy Light fades."

Gao Wen quietly looked at Veronica for a moment, then suddenly said, "Your mood must be very complicated."

"For many years, disobedient people have regarded gods as enemies, and this cognition was entered into my original memory as if engraved in my bones, and with the establishment of the Theocratic Council, this cognition had to be revised— ——The gods are not the enemy, but the gods who are out of control are. We and the gods support and threaten each other, like two poor worms tied in chains. As for now... I just accidentally sounded 'Ophelia Norton' The last will at the time of death, I have some emotions in my heart."

She shook her head slightly as she spoke, and the topic turned to other places: "Are you planning to take action? The human part of the God of Holy Light has fallen... Do you think we need to prepare a 'funeral' for Him? Like Back then, when the goddess of magic 'fallen'..."

Gao Wen thought for a while, then shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No, just let him leave quietly. Our transformation of the Church of the Holy Light has been very successful, and this gradual change has been going on smoothly, and there is no need for extra complications What kind of 'funeral' is held-this may cause unexpected changes in the trend of thought."

"I understand what you mean," Veronica nodded slightly, "I will update and upload the information on the God of Holy Light to the database of the Theocratic Council, and set the reading permission to the highest level."

Gao Wen didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and in his field of vision, the brilliant sun had gradually sunk to the end of the horizon in the upper reaches of the Baishui River. The brilliance was about to fade, and on both sides of the Baishui River, street lamps within the urban area had begun to light up one after another at this moment. The bright magic spar brilliance replaced the sinking sunlight, dispelling the increasingly dense twilight.

"For at least one generation, the fact that the God of Holy Light detonated the Deep Blue Well and resisted the evil tide must not be made public," he said in a deep voice, "just like what Amorn said before. The assistance provided to the coalition forces on the southern front is kept strictly confidential, and some achievements... we can keep them in our hearts, but for the public, these things must be temporarily forgotten."

Veronica held the platinum scepter slightly harder, then she lowered her head slightly: "Until the future you describe comes, until the world is ready to accept the truth with reason instead of fanaticism and worship."

"Yeah, until they're ready..."

……

When every corner of the Loren continent began to gradually enter the "post-war order reconstruction period", when the member states of the alliance finally began to have the spare power to focus on the reconstruction and development of the international and domestic economies, part of the vision of the high-level alliance Leaving the continent of Loren, he moved to those mysterious and unknown areas that mortals have never visited.

These "unvisited mysterious realms" not only include distant alien stars four light-years away, but also some ancient heritages that have been under the noses of mortals for a long time.

In the southwest sea area of ​​the Loren Continent, in the vast sea far away from the land, a storm that suddenly rolled up stood between the sea and the sky like a majestic high wall.

The disordered magic power that runs through the magic turbulence layer and the sea level is raging in the vast ocean. The powerful energy release process brings extreme weather, the wind is raging, and hundreds of millions of tons of sea water roll up huge waves in the storm area, continuous The lightning seemed to form a curtain wall, repeatedly sweeping between hurricanes, heavy rains, and the upside-down sea surface-this is what frightens the sailors who try to challenge the ocean, and even makes the sailors who control the steel warships hold on tightly. The "disordered turbulence" of cold sweat is the most terrifying storm on the open sea.

However, the storm stopped abruptly when it moved to a certain sea area.
