The red moon returns

Chapter 477 The Secret of the Gods

"The dream world will devour the real world?"

"That's the theory, but the actual situation is unknown." Chairman Ole shrugged, "After all, it didn't really happen at the time."

"Being stopped?"

Lynch recalled what he felt in the Red Moon memories. The gods sacrificed themselves to prevent the end of the world at the last moment.

"The defense mechanism of the real world held up and did not completely collapse."

"Huh? Are you sure?"

Lynch frowned. This was inconsistent with what he had known. He saw this from the memories of eyewitnesses, so it shouldn't be wrong. So it must be that history was wrong and failed to record the actions of the gods?
However, the chairman did not answer. Instead, he looked at him with a very strange look, then shook his head and did not answer.

Is this a dangerous question that cannot be asked? Is it forbidden knowledge?
Lin Qi felt a little regretful. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart, as if a bolt of lightning split the fog in his mind.

He suddenly realized something: maybe no one was wrong, it was just his own understanding that was wrong.

The great disaster was indeed prevented by the gods, and the defense mechanism of the present world did hold up.

The two are not contradictory, provided that the so-called worldly defense mechanism is the deity itself.

The existence of gods is part of the entire world. They are individuals manifested by the laws of the world in order to resist the erosion of the dreamland.

Lynch was a little dazed for a moment. There were some things that people in this world dared not think about, and some situations were unimaginable, but as a time traveler from the previous life, Lynch had a clear mind, so he considered the key points at the first time.

The dreamland represents the fear and despair of living beings, but what about gods?
From the beginning to the end, the gods have always represented the awe, yearning, respect, hope of living beings and are the exact opposite of the symbol of dreams.

Aren’t the two really two sides of the same coin?

The Dreamland is the collective consciousness of all living beings from ancient times to the present. What about before the birth of living beings? Does the Dreamland still exist? What about gods? Do they exist?
As a defense mechanism against the Dreamland, gods must have been born with the birth of the Dreamland. That is to say, for millions of years, the claims of various churches that gods created the world and gods created humans are actually false theories. The fact is just the opposite. It is living beings that indirectly gave birth to gods.

'Neighbor, neighbor, have I thought of something extraordinary?'

【Um. 】

'On a dark night, when there is no one to silence the murderer.'

[Well, is this your last words? ]

'Hmm, you're kidding me.'

[Of course not, I am fooling fools. ]

'...'

[Also, are you sure that what you guessed is the truth?] Ms. Luna said in a gentle voice with a hint of teasing and cunning, [Your guess is based on the fact that the history he said is completely true, so are you sure that what he said is the truth?]

I know nothing. I am a fool. [So, you will never be able to truly guess the answer. It is useless to think too much. This is why the gods laugh when humans think. However, this taboo knowledge does not mean much to you. You are different from them.]

Lynch suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. When the lady reminded him, he realized that there were two other ladies around him.

He came from a world without God, so it didn't matter to him who created whom. These things that were the origin of the world didn't pose any impact to him at all. But for the natives of this world, it was different.

This is a completely shattering idea. Once you think in this direction, your entire faith will completely collapse, and you will inevitably behave in a disorderly manner and speak blasphemous words. If you can rebuild your psychological defenses and faith in a short period of time, you may be able to return to normal. If your heart is not strong enough and is always in a state of confusion, you will become a madman destroyed by forbidden knowledge in the eyes of the world.

It turns out that this guy just now was not deliberately mysterious. There are really countless traps hidden in these things. I... ah~~
A finger poked his waist, the sudden attack made Lynch jump out directly, holding his ribs and looking back angrily. As a result, when he turned around, he found that the two ladies were looking at him with concern.

Hmm? Oh, yes, I was stunned when I heard the forbidden knowledge, which was a bit scary.

Looking at Chairman Ole again, the old man also looked a little nervous. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was sure that Lynch's eyes were clear.

"Are you okay?" Natalie hid the murder weapon, and Diana obviously let go of her worries. She looked at him with a reproachful look, "Why did you suddenly become dazed?"

I'm fine, but you guys might be fine. Lin Qi decided to keep his thoughts to himself forever, so he stretched out his claws and shook their hands: "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about what the chairman said. I think the chairman is right, the four divine revelations are not signs but inducements."

Chairman Ole smiled noncommittally, his eyes meaningful, but he changed the subject: "Academic research must be rigorous. We have no evidence to conclude that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are not omens. I just determined from the perspective of historical research and mysticism that the four disasters will accelerate the pressure of the Dream Realm on the real world and are directly related to the final destruction. As for whether they also have the effect of omens, there are too few conditions to determine. Why, are you worried that further development of the plague will trigger a major disaster?"

Seeing that someone had found an excuse for him, Lin Qi immediately responded, "Well, I am a little worried."

"Normally, it shouldn't happen. The gods have returned. It's not easy for the filth of the Dreamland to erode the real world. It's not something that can be achieved by just a disaster. The power of faith will slowly neutralize the increase in fear brought to the Dreamland. Therefore, in theory, if you want to break through the defense line of the real world, you must continuously strengthen the four origins of fear for a period of time. If the increase cannot be neutralized in time, it is possible to induce destruction. It is not something that can be caused by just a plague."

The chairman didn't care too much, but Lin Qi couldn't help but ask:

"Does this also mean that there is no need to follow a set order. As long as the four types of disasters of origin fear are gathered together within a fixed time, destruction will be triggered?"

"Yes, but what I've been saying is that they might cause destruction, not necessarily. In fact, the possibility is very small, like being killed by a flower pot falling from the roof as you walk by."

"But what would happen if someone was unlucky enough to be hit by a flower pot?" Lynch asked, "Will the ending of the First Age be repeated?"

"It's hard to say, but the mainstream view right now is... it won't be that serious. And don't underestimate the power of the gods. The great disaster of the Fourth Epoch is an example."

???

"Is there anything wrong with the Fourth Epoch?"

The chairman opened his mouth, his eyes full of despair: "Student Lynch Leviev, your professor is still alive. You are treating him like this... Forget it, I won't let you figure it out. I'm afraid you won't let me go today."

Lynch nodded vigorously, his expression firm and full of determination.

The chairman sighed and gave up struggling completely. A simple but little-known history slowly unfolded before the three of them.

"Everything starts from the First Epoch..."
