Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Although he really wanted to ask himself when he stopped being human, but when he thought about it carefully, in the other party's perspective, he was indeed an old monster who seemed to be living in the golden age, an old monster who could understand the abstract oracle of the goddess when she just woke up, and even his ultimate purpose was unpredictable. So Lind didn't say anything more.

"So what you said before, that all gods except the goddess are false gods, is there any basis for this?"

Hearing Lind's question, Bernice didn't think that Lind was being mysterious or testing her. The lantern dream had already evaluated Lind. Although she still suspected that he was a survivor of the Golden Age, she thought that he might have been born in the peak of the Golden Age and had only recently awakened.

So even though the other party has mastered the technology of the Golden Age, they are not very familiar with some secrets.

This will also make it easier for both parties to cooperate in depth and get what they need.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I believe you also understand the origin of our lantern dream."

Bernice did not answer directly, but began to talk to Lind about the origins of her sect.

Lind nodded. The Lantern Dream split from the Goddess Church because of the Goddess's last oracle. The Lantern Dream did not deliberately conceal this fact. If the church was interested, it would be able to find clues of the past holy war.

"The goddess's oracles come in many forms, and our Saint Lady saw the goddess' kingdom and learned the truth about the gods through the last oracle sent down by the goddess."

Then, Bernice lowered her voice and said, "I wonder if you have noticed that among all the gods, faith came first, and then the specific image of the god came into being, except for the goddess."

“Only when there is a great goddess, people will believe in her.”

"The goddess is the only true god in this world, the only ruler! From the goddess's kingdom, the Saint Lady learned that the goddess's ultimate goal is to ensure the continuation of human civilization. How can we not respect and love such a great god?"

Although she lowered her voice, Bernice's voice was getting louder and louder, like a crazy missionary.

No, now Bernice is just a crazy missionary, singing praises to her own god.

But Lind felt that things were not that simple, because as proof of the existence of God, divine magic also existed objectively, and other gods could also let their believers use divine magic. No matter what the essential differences were between the goddess and other gods, other gods should also exist objectively.

However, Bernice once said that other gods are false gods, and it cannot be said that other gods do not exist.

If you think about it, the Lantern Dream has never denied the existence of other gods, and the teachings are more about worshipping the Goddess as the only true God, and the Goddess is superior to other gods.

In fact, there are similar sayings within each church of gods, but it was the Saint of the Goddess Church at that time, the founder of the Lantern Dream, who put this saying on the table, which led to the holy war.

Bernice's statement is also very interesting. Except for the goddess, other gods first had faith and then had a specific image. Will the image of God change due to the will of people or creatures? So can we say that God was born from people's faith?

Was God created by humans?

Lind threw this question to Bernice, but Bernice, who was fanatically preaching, was stuck at this moment. The lantern dream was fundamentally different from those cults. At least they believed in the righteous God, and Lind's question was too blasphemous even for the cultists.

Although this concept was first proposed by Dreaming about Lanterns, in reality Dreaming about Lanterns did not dare to think more about this issue.

"Gods are gods. They are beings that possess power beyond nature. Governor, your idea is a bit too extreme. Even if they are false gods, they are definitely beings that are beyond human imagination."

After hearing Bernice's explanation, Lind asked back, "Really? Is this what the goddess told you in her oracle?"

Looking at Lind's suspicious eyes, the fanatical Bernice felt unprecedented pressure, and the madness in her eyes gradually faded away and began to become extremely clear.

The lantern dream simply believes that the goddess is the most special and highest existence among all gods. Although other false gods are false gods, they are also gods. The lantern dream does not deny the divinity of other gods.

But Bernice could not figure out what this remnant of the Golden Age was thinking, and even felt a sense of fear, a fear of absolute rationality. It seemed that to him, gods were just another kind of creature that could be studied and understood.

At this moment, Bernice realized that her way of thinking, or that of the people in this world, was fundamentally different from that of others. No wonder there were no gods in the Golden Age.

Other religions naturally also have records of the Golden Age, but in order to explain why there are no records of their own gods in the Golden Age, they have to boast that it was precisely because there was no faith in the Golden Age that it was suddenly destroyed.

To them, the Golden Age was a bit like the legend of Atlantis in Lind's previous life. In the end, it would definitely be self-destruction due to environmental destruction, human arrogance, etc., and by the way, they would elevate the gods they believed in.

But now it seems that the status of humans in the Golden Age is probably even higher than that of the so-called gods.

Lind, however, did not notice Bernice's nervousness. He was just a little absent-minded and asked himself, "What exactly is God?"

Forget it, maybe all these will be answered after the Goddess system is restarted. But besides the Goddess, Lind began to be interested in other religions. It can be said that his interest even exceeded that of the Goddess.

If other gods are really born from human belief, then what do these gods use to maintain their existence? Is it just belief alone? If so, can the power of belief be extracted and used as a new energy source?

If it is true, the power of faith can be regarded as another form of the power of thinking.

When he came to his senses, Linde noticed Bernice, who was covered in cold sweat, but Linde's interrogation was not over yet. Seeing that Bernice could not answer further on this question, Linde shifted the topic to the Kingdom of God.

"Since your saint claims to have seen the goddess' kingdom in the oracle, and the goddess' kingdom is real, then what exactly is the goddess' kingdom like? And where is it?"

Bernice breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were not discussing the nature of gods, it would be fine. She replied, "Haven't you seen it? In your dream."

Seeing that Lind was a little confused, Bernice continued, "When we first met, in your dream, in the endless darkness, there was a huge floating building, and many angels were working in it."

"Etc., etc!"

Lind suddenly interrupted: "The space station that your saint saw in the oracle... is the kingdom of God that she saw also like that?"

"Isn't that the goddess' kingdom?"

Bernice tilted her head and asked back.

Lind covered his head and began to ponder. Well, Lind had actually guessed this situation when he heard the standard mechanical synthesized sound.

The so-called goddess kingdom seen in the oracle in the lantern dream is a space station floating in the universe, and the goddess may be a super AI in this space station.

This AI may be a relic of the so-called golden age.

Lind looked up at the ceiling. Could it be that there really was a space station that had been operating for a long time above this world?
