"Shouldn't orcs believe in the Beast God? Why do you believe in the Mother Goddess?"
Jiang Yanyue had been curious about this matter for a long time, and now that it was brought up, of course she had to get to the bottom of it.
"The Mother Goddess is the god who gave birth to the world, and the Father God created the orcs. The Father God created the orcs because the Mother Goddess felt that a world without wisdom and thought would be very lonely even if it was full of vitality."
Wuchen's snake head showed no expression, but his tone was somewhat deceptive, "Father God created orcs just to make Mother God happy."
Jiang Yanyue was a little nervous, "Is it not good for us to discuss the affairs of the gods like this?"
Wu Chen looked relaxed, "I used to specialize in this. God is very willing to let more people not believe in Him."
"I'll continue telling you..." Wu Chen himself became excited and regained some of his previous enthusiasm for work, without having to rack his brains to choose words or sentences.
Let the orcs not believe in God (mainly to avoid causing trouble), but at the same time, maintain their love and awe of God, and never eliminate their faith by smearing God.
Do it once, and you’ll become bald.
"The connection between the Mother Goddess and this world is very close, like that between a mother and her child. Therefore, orcs are born to believe in the Mother Goddess, and there is no need for unnecessary teaching or dissemination."
"This also makes it easy for Him to hear the orcs' inner prayers. Whether they are good or bad, the Mother Goddess can hear them."
"What's wrong with this?" Jiang Yanyue couldn't understand. Being closely connected with believers and having devout faith, isn't this what God pursues?
Wu Chen sighed, "That's not true. Hearing people say things like 'I want eight handsome beasts', 'I hope Cuihua next door likes me', 'I hope I can grow ten more beast patterns', 'I hope all the other males in my partner die' every day is really annoying."
"When God created us, He didn't want us to have any faith. He just wanted us to live on this land and make the world more wonderful."
Jiang Yanyue lay on Wuchen's big head and said, "Hearing you say that, do you feel abandoned by God?"
"Of course not. God doesn't like his children to kneel down and beg him for help when they encounter problems. He just thinks we are annoying, but he hasn't completely given up on us."
"If any orc exploits other orcs under the banner of God, God will surely bring down divine punishment."
"God doesn't need our wealth or our labor. If someone uses the banner of faith to ask people to pay money or even give away everything, that must be fake."
Jiang Yanyue was surprised. "Is the Mother Goddess's values so correct? She told you this kind of thing?"
Jiang Yanyue grew up under the red flag and was influenced by scientific socialism. She certainly knew that those Western religions in history were nothing more than rule and exploitation under the guise of faith.
In fact, these are all human desires and means, and have nothing to do with the so-called God.
But God personally came out to tell the believers: God does not need money, and those who ask you to pay money are all scammers, don’t believe them!
Is it a bit too magical?
"So, you absolutely cannot do anything under the banner of God. If you do good things, the more you believe in them, the louder the sound will be, and the more annoyed the God will be. If you do bad things, you will be struck to death directly."
Wu Chen's tone became serious. "We are not qualified to represent Him. Unless God personally approves us, we must never claim to be messengers or to have received divine oracle. Disrespecting God will lead to eternal damnation."
Wu Chen couldn't help but reveal a sense of awe that went deep into his bones.
Jiang Yanyue felt a little contradictory. God does not require belief, but he is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of orcs. The kind of awe that naturally emerges cannot be achieved through simple religious brainwashing.
"You... have seen it?" Jiang Yanyue was curious as to why Wu Chen acted both scared and not afraid.
Wuchen's snake head nodded. "Sacrifices must involve shamans (xí, referring to male shamans) playing music, singing and dancing to entertain the gods. I used to be the high priest, the shaman who entertained the gods."
"Didn't God forbid you to believe in Him? And you still offer sacrifices to Him and disturb Him?" Jiang Yanyue was confused by the inconsistent behavior.
"Sacrifices are performed for respect, blessing, reporting, and seeking instructions." Wu Chen explained, "The gods will use the high priest to learn about the general situation of the year and, based on the situation, will send down beast essence stones to enhance the orcs' strength."
"You reported to the god in person?" Jiang Yanyue looked gossipy. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have clung to an incredible golden thigh from the very beginning.
There are many witches and priests in the Beast World. Slightly stronger tribes and cities have witches or priests, but there is only one high priest.
The duties of the high priest are to communicate with the gods and pronounce oracles on their behalf.
It’s just that no oracle has appeared for many years.
"How is that possible? I just stood on the altar and God already knew everything he wanted to know. How could I have a say?"
"So how does God want you to treat Him? It seems a bit contradictory."
Jiang Yanyue completely couldn't understand the God of this world. You said He enslaved and oppressed people, but then God himself came out and said he didn't want any money or offerings.
You say that He blesses the world and saves people from suffering, but He finds believers who are like His children annoying.
"In God's own words, 'There is a God above us; it's not that we don't believe in Him, but we keep our distance.'"
Jiang Yanyue was stunned for a moment, then asked blankly, "Do you know who Confucius is?"
Jiang Yanyue felt a sense of absurdity in her heart. Could it be that this Mother Goddess was also wearing clothes?
Wu Chen shook his head, his tone somewhat mysterious, "It's very profound, right? Actually, it's very simple."
Jiang Yanyue was full of curiosity, "High Priest, please explain it to me."
"I'm watching from heaven, don't try to cause trouble, just get out of here politely and stay away from me."
Jiang Yanyue suddenly realized, "So the theology is "Lunyu"."
Wu Chen moved his head and changed to a more comfortable position for Jiang Yanyue to lie down.
"I think Father God must have learned the Swing Language. When he said that, I felt like he wanted to swing me away to a place where Mother God couldn't see me."
Wu Chen was still a little scared when he recalled the first time he stepped onto the altar, so he asked Jiang Yanyue to hold him, and Jiang Yanyue burst out laughing.
"Do you know what 'Zi Bu Yu, Gui Ji Luan Shen' means?'" Jiang Yanyue stroked Wu Chen's snake scales, which felt as cool as jade, and smiled.
"I know!" Wu Chen's voice became excited, like a poor student who finally found a question he could do on the test paper.
"Tell me."
"You little bastard, don't talk to your Mother Goddess! Otherwise, I'll use my supernatural powers to beat you to insanity!"
Jiang Yanyue laughed so hard that her body shook. "Did God say this to you? Don't be so proud!"
"Yes! I heard the words of Father God the first time I went up to the altar. Then Mother God said that there are gods above our heads, and Father God explained it to us."
"Mother Goddess also said that respect should be in the heart, and not be formalistic. She also told us not to waste time on useless prayers. Father God explained that we were too noisy, and if we continued to disturb Mother Goddess, she would destroy us all."
"Although I only heard God's voice the first time and there has been no response since then, I am certain that Father God will never allow anyone to represent Mother God."
