In the living room, the final winner of the war for the TV remote control has been decided, and Doudou has become the final winner. At this time, he is lying on the coffee table peacefully watching Finding Nemo with the TV remote control in his arms. The victory of the little mermaid has its reasons:
Elizabeth was asked by her father to read "On the Emperor" without a few fights, and Gun simply became the little mermaid's follower. Only Lily was left to face the two naughty children alone, even with the brain circuit of a husky.
I also felt a little embarrassed, so in the end I simply waved my hand generously to indicate that I had to go back to work on the manuscript, and gave the remote control to Doudou.
The "war" in the center of the living room has come to an end, but the conversation between Hao Ren and Lolisa has just begun next to the window sill in the corner of the living room.
The "Elf Queen" was not surprised after hearing Hao Ren's words: "You will indeed be interested in these."
"After all, I am investigating the dream plane, and the religious activities on the planet Horleta ten thousand years ago will obviously help me understand how the divine power of your universe worked before the goddess of creation fell," Hao Ren laughed,
"And more importantly, I am also quite interested in the goddess of creation herself, especially the changes in her words and deeds during the period before the God-killing War broke out, which may reveal her mental journey at that time."
Lorissa glanced at him: "You know, if your words were heard by our priests ten thousand years ago, they would probably fight you. It's totally disrespectful."
Hao Ren spread his hands: "What the hell, my official title is still the Pope. What's wrong with discussing gods and goddesses? The goddess here never follows so many rules from me. By the way, is the creation goddess of the Dream Plane?
A god who values his authority very much?"
Lorissa immediately shook her head: "No, God herself doesn't care what the secular world thinks of herself. She moves in the universe just like the movement of the sun, moon and stars, and is not subject to any worldly honor or disgrace, just like the opinions of mortals.
and cognition cannot affect the existence of the truth itself at all. It’s just that God can be so generous, but we mortals can’t. In ancient times... Horleta was developed under the guidance of the church, and the influence of the goddess began from its origin.
This kind of flowing blood has been instilled into the blood vessels of every living being. Religion and belief have accompanied our society from beginning to end. It has become an important tool for us to maintain social stability and orderly production. Even if the doctrine advances with the times, the church has also
From being closed and conservative to being open and inclusive, the authority of theocracy is absolutely unshakable, at least in our era."
Now Lolisa has followed Hao Ren's habit of calling her planet "Horleta", but she still stumbles when mentioning this name. Obviously it is still quite unfamiliar to her.
vocabulary.
Hao Ren asked purely out of curiosity: "At your time, how influential could the leaders of the Goddess Sect have been in secular society? How compared to the Magic Emperors?"
"In fact, the Magic Emperor himself is the supreme leader of the goddess sect within a country," Lorissa said with a smile, "We have implemented a dual-bishop system. Each country has two supreme bishops, one of whom is in charge of religious authority.
The 'Exarch' is responsible for all matters limited to religious activities. The other 'Exarch' is concurrently held by the magic emperors of various countries. We manage the secular world, and we also have an equal voice with the Exarch within the church.
In addition to the national bishops, there is also a supreme 'pope'. This pope is the only one and the person closest to the gods. He can usually talk directly to the goddess. At the same time, the pope's thoughts are also
He has been immersed in the thoughts of the gods for a long time. He was influenced by often watching the thoughts of the gods, so he did not care about the power disputes in the secular world at all, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to maintaining the connection between the goddess and the real world. This is Huo
The form of the church in Erleta ten thousand years ago. Of course, there are more details that can be told, but it will be too much to say in a short while."
Hao Ren asked this question out of curiosity. Of course, he had no intention of actually studying how the church in Holleta worked ten thousand years ago. If he really wanted to do something in this area, he could just borrow it from two colleagues.
A few work notes were everything. So after roughly understanding the structure of the ancient Horleta Goddess Sect, he changed the topic: "How do you communicate with the goddess in daily life? Is it difficult to communicate? Is it direct?
Can you hear her voice or can you only sense her breath?"
"Every citizen created by the goddess can feel that sense of belonging from the blood. We know who created us from the beginning, so we can pray without any distractions, and during the prayer process, we know who created us.
It is not difficult for us to be able to communicate with God. It is just that we cannot directly hear the voice of the goddess in ordinary prayers, because she has to focus on the operation of the entire universe and cannot listen carefully to the voice of every child, so it is difficult for us to do so.
In some cases we can just sense her breath, or get a fixed answer when we ask a question."
Hao Ren understood it as soon as he heard it: "Oh, I understand this. Automatic answering is very convenient. Our goddesses also use it. Just set the automatic answering in advance. Whenever believers have any questions about life, they will get replies immediately.
This is convenient for both sides. It’s just that our goddess uses this thing mainly because she is too lazy to listen to complaints..."
Lorissa automatically filtered out Hao Ren's disrespectful last sentence and was only interested in the previous words: "Oh? Other gods are like this too? How does the raven goddess usually respond to prayers?"
Hao Ren: "The goddess you called is not in the service area, or don't be cowardly and just do it. If you have time to find me, why don't you go back and beat her up. If you can't beat me, I will stand up for you... To be honest, I think the first automatic reply is more elegant.
point."
Lorissa: "...Excuse me, does anyone in your universe really believe in her?"
Hao Ren spread his hands and said, "It doesn't cost any money anyway, so just have some faith."
Lorissa: "..."
"Ahem, let's continue talking about business." Hao Ren himself felt that it would be weird for his god's work style to be thrown into the eyes of people with a normal worldview, so he quickly pulled Lorissa's attention back, "Then you guys
Do you have any experience of directly communicating with the Goddess of Creation? Who can do this? What is the direct dialogue like? It is best if you can tell me about this process in detail."
"The goddess will occasionally chat with her children. This process is not limited to a certain race or individual. It is often random. This kind of conversation is called 'revelation'. It usually occurs in dreams. The dreamer will
Seeing a blur of light, the goddess's thoughts will be directly conveyed to their spiritual world. Since the goddess has sown life on countless planets, those who can receive this kind of revelation are all extremely lucky people. In our
According to records, there are only a few lucky people who have received this kind of revelation throughout history, and they all later became great priests or extremely knowledgeable pioneers," Lorissa explained seriously, "In addition to this kind of revelation,
In addition, devout believers in the church can also directly communicate with the goddess through special rituals. Of course, this has very high requirements. Basically only people at the bishop level can get this opportunity. Through the rituals agreed with the goddess, we can directly call
Kingdom of God, and then the goddess will descend through a grand vision..."
Hao Ren was immediately attracted by this key point: "Illusion? What kind of illusion?"
"Not necessarily, it depends on the cognition of the person praying and the specific way of performing the ritual, but it is usually an unrecognizable female figure that emits light, or an amorphous light, but there are also cases such as crystals.
There are records of giant towers reaching the sky, mysterious and vast palaces, boundless red oceans or unknown starry skies. These latter illusions basically appear during relatively special ritual ceremonies, with many participants, perhaps a large number of people.
Different mental agitation of the participants leads to different illusions. Only those who participate in the ritual can see the illusion. In their eyes, the illusion is as real as replacing the real world, but people who do not participate in the ritual even stand next to the altar.
I can’t see anything, I can only feel the huge energy and boundless will sweeping across the sky.”
"Well, what you see should be the scene on the Founding Star. It seems that the Goddess of Creation directly transmitted the image of the Founding Star to your ceremony site through the eldest son's spiritual network. It is essentially a kind of ultra-remote brain.
Wave communication, your spirit is connected with the brain waves of the eldest son, and then connected with the control center on the Founding Star. This is such a process." Hao Ren said, while nodding slightly, perfecting the details in his mind.
Model speculation on the "eldest son's psychic network".
Lorissa also nodded in agreement, and then continued: "Our connection with the Kingdom of God has been this way since ancient times, but in the years before that 'oracle' came, that is what you called 'killing gods'
On the eve of the war, we saw something different, a vision that had never appeared in historical records..."
"What's the scene?"
"The visions I saw in the past were bright and brilliant, full of exciting and reassuring atmosphere, but in those few years... the bishops frequently saw patterns full of darkness and weird lines, and various scenery at large-scale festivals.
It seemed to be distorted as if it had been disturbed, and the image of the goddess never appeared again. And among all the illusions, one thing kept appearing... that was a blood-colored moon."
Hao Ren felt that his breathing stopped for a moment: "A bloody moon?! Are you sure it's the moon? Not the Founding Star? As far as I know, the Founding Star is also red..."
"No, I can be sure, because I have seen that thing before. It is definitely not the founding star, it is just a red moon."
