As soon as Raven 12345 finished her words, the atmosphere immediately turned subtle. The four ascetics did not know how to respond. Hao Ren could feel their awkwardness: as a group of devout believers, what was the appropriate response when they were in this kind of situation?
Hao Ren began to imagine the kind of fanatics he had seen in other stories. He felt that the most suitable scene for the situation now was for the four ascetics to immediately take out their swords and rush towards Raven 12345, shouting "Fight for our Lord!". Then they subsequently get killed by a series of lightning strikes from Raven 12345. But after thinking about it, he found that it could not be this way. Mainly because, it was not the mortals, but the goddess who said such uncomfortable words.
And based on organizational structure and induction process, this unreliable sister was more like a genuine goddess.
Apparently, the four ascetics could also think of this point, so they also struggled: At this moment, do they have to care about the dignity of their Goddess? Do they have to explain to another Goddess about the dignity and seriousness of their own Goddess? No matter what choice they made, it was going to be awkward anyway. They were either sorry for their beliefs, or they were sorry for the logic.
Most important of all: All religious conflicts in the world were among mortals. The case was different when it was a conversation between a god believer and a real Goddess. The four ascetics obviously lack the corresponding work experience...
But luckily, the four ascetics were wise enough to know that they could not use their own view to determine whether the god of another world was real. Also, they were mentally prepared before coming here, so they quickly calmed down and began to tell Raven 12345 about the teachings of the Disciples of Glory and the image of their Goddess.
They spoke slowly and paused several times awkwardly in the middle of the conversation. No matter how well-prepared the four ascetics were they still faced a lot of unexpected details: they still talked to Raven 12345 like they were preaching. And in the middle of the conversation, they were kept interrupted by Raven: "Oh, I've done this before..." or "Oh, my archbishop suggested this to me before, but I found it troublesome so I didn't do it…"
It looks like a group of young monks was preaching, and a real God was squatting there listen to them…
And Hao Ren was there, watching this strange scene.
After a good two hours past and Hao Ren was almost asleep, the four ascetics finally finished their words. They were all sweaty on their faces. This unprecedented conversation made them very nervous. They thought their mind was strong enough, but they did not expect themselves feeling a bit shaky like a child who looked at real god revealing himself for the first time. Raven 12345 was no surprise at this scene: The four ascetics were truly devout, so they are bound to be suppressed in the face of true God.
This was an ambiguous 'symbolic' effect. No matter how true was their Goddess, as long as these believers' words and actions conformed to some subtle 'characteristics', they were bound to be disturbed by another true God.
What made Raven 12345 interested was that this 'disturbance' was more intense than she had expected, and even the four mortals had shaken their faith when facing her, making them behave as if they were facing their own 'Goddess of Creation'.
This phenomenon had a special significance: What the fours ascetics believed in was probably a true Goddess. Only in this way could they have a 'recognition' phenomenon unconsciously in front of other true gods.
The Goddess of Creation in the Plane of Dreams was very likely to be a true Goddess, who conformed to the 'GSO9001 True God Accreditation' of Xi Ling Celestials and the 'Three Tests of Godhead' of the three celestial systems.
However, the Goddess might only have characteristics of a true God, but she did not have a real ability. The Goddess of Creation had yet to show much strength. According to Hao Ren's report, Raven 12345 inferred that the goddess did not have the ability to 'create something out of nothing', nor did she have the ability to rewrite the rules of the universe. Otherwise, her way of life-sowing should be done in a more high-end form: creating the biosphere directly on the planet, rather than sowing some corporeal 'primitive seeds'.
This was a Goddess who seemed muddled and did not possess any power of true God, but at the same time resembling the true God in some features. Raven 12345 squinted and thought: The situation was a little tricky now, and something she had been investigating for a while seemed to coincide with this.
"It seems that your belief system is perfect, very... correct," Raven 12345 said while looking for the more appropriate words to evaluate the Disciples of Glory, "there are some signs of blind development. Obviously, you are not directly guided by the goddess you believe in the process of development, but the overall structure is in accordance with healthy sectarian regulations."
Big Beardy had a peculiar reverence for Raven 12345 under the inexplicable disturbance of the soul, but this awe did not control his mind, so now he still retorted, "No, please forgive my rudeness, dear God, but I don't think you're right. We are always taught by the Goddess of Creation, we can hear her voice, and her messages are clearer and more direct than other false gods. The Disciples of Glory has been developing under her teachings for 3000 of years, and she has been guiding us directly."
Raven 12345 raise her eyebrow and said, "Oh? You think you can receive clear God's messages? It seems that your understanding of it is wrong."
The four ascetics immediately looked at each other. Raven 12345 snapper her fingers and they immediately heard an unusually respectful and slightly agitated old man's voice in the air, "Oh Lord! Are you calling your servant?"
Raven 12345 was talking to a believer in a distant galaxy, "Emm, Wilton, you're studying artificial souls, right?"
"Yes, Lord, we are trying to decipher the mysteries of souls. Is this wrong?"
"No, you all are very motivated, that's good, I just want to encourage you to let you know that this project is right."
Raven 12345 disconnected the call and shrugged at them, who were stunned, and said, "See, this is God's message."
Even Hao Ren was surprised. His lips twitched while looked at Goddess and asked, "Errr… Shouldn't God's message be vague, weird and incomprehensible and that people couldn't get the meaning even after pondering for months? How could it be so… simple and direct?"
Big Beardy nodded immediately. Obviously, he agreed with Hao Ren in this regard.
"No, do you know how many people will lose their life this way?" said Raven 12345, "Do you know how much influence a God's message can make? Under no circumstances can the future of a civilization be pinned on a vague word. I'd rather make everything clear. Of course, for most civilizations, I would choose not to take care of them. I'll only teach them a lesson when they meet real trouble and tell them clearly why they are beaten."
Then, Raven 12345 looked serious and said, "Our boss told me before: true God will not give mortals a bunch of inexplicable punishment, and then let them guess what they did wrong with fear. It's not raising kids, it's teasing cats. As a god, you have to be really responsible and make things clear. And I agree."
Big Beardy looked at this 'heretical Goddess' that gave him a sense of awe. He was reluctant to admit her weird 'divine rule'. However, there was some truth to what she said, and this clear explanation was very friendly to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Most of the time the person with OCD could not be a high priest because they could not stand the problem of missing words and grammatical confusion when trying to communicate with God...
"To sum up, I think your Goddess should be in a very strange state," Raven 12345 said, ignored Big Beardy's complicated expression, "I'm willing to admit that she is a Goddess, but she is now clearly in a... poor state. Even if she is an ordinary super life, she should have the ability to have a clear conversation with you, but you say you can only hear some vague voices?"
"Yes," Big Beardy nodded and said.
"Only someone who's senseless and obsessed with the theocratic game would deliberately engage in such a mystifying trick. And no matter how senseless she was, she can't possibly continue this joke for 3000 years. As long as she has a normal mind, she should have a few normal conversations with four of you in the past 3000 years. And now the situation is that you can only hear some obscure murmur, which means that she is very weak and even shows that she has already..."
Raven 12345 suddenly stopped talking, smiled and looked at their eyes and said, "I have some investigations, but this belongs to the secret of the Gods. Anyway, thank you for your explanation. It helps my investigation. Rest assured. I have good faith in your 'goddess'. And if possible, I will help her."
Raven's words were somewhat baffling, but Big Beardy was convinced for no reason. Four of them nodded with respect.
Raven 12345 then turned to look at Hao Ren and said, "Now I finally have time to talk about your work report... You've done a great job this time, just in time for the annual bonus. I've got some extra rewards for you."
Hao Ren was thrilled right away!
As soon as Raven 12345 finished her words, the atmosphere immediately turned subtle. The four ascetics did not know how to respond. Hao Ren could feel their awkwardness: as a group of devout believers, what was the appropriate response when they were in this kind of situation?
