The hall fell into strange silence.

The outer shell of the metal box has been completely opened under the action of the mechanical device, and the items contained inside are presented to everyone - Gao Wen's mind, "This little pony must be enjoying me" disappeared with the appearance of the light golden sphere. Not to mention anything else, at least one thing he can be sure of: this thing is really a dragon egg...

The dragon clan, the dragon clan who survived the great collapse of Tarlongde, sent envoys to cross the northern ice ocean and thousands of mountains and rivers to establish diplomatic relations after severe damage. They worked so hard to bring themselves a dragon egg.

Common sense judged that if Melita's head was not broken in the previous war, she would probably not joke with herself about the source of this egg.

After two minutes of silence, Gao Wen finally broke the silence: "...The goddess you are talking about is Enya, right?"

Melita's expression was a little complicated, and she said softly with a sigh: "Yes - Piece locked the god of Tallond again, Eunya... Now I can call out His name directly."

"So what does this egg mean?" Gao Wen felt that his head was not enough for the first time. The corners of his eyes were slightly pounding. It took a lot of effort to keep his tone calm. "Why did your god leave a last wish to give me this egg? No, more importantly, why is there such an egg?"

As soon as Gao Wen finished speaking, Amber on the side suddenly showed a strange look. The half-elf turned her head and looked at Gao Wen's face with his eyes curled up, her face full of a look of wanting to speak but stopping - she was undoubtedly brewing a bold speech of about 800 words, but the basic sense of crisis and survival awareness were still in play, making those bold remarks temporarily hold in her belly.

Not to be a joke, Amber is still very confident in her strength. She knows that whenever she expresses the bold ideas in her mind, Gao Wen can take a photo of herself on the ceiling at will - she has experience in this matter.

But not everyone has the sense of crisis like Amber. Rebecca, who was standing aside and concentrating on studying the dragon egg, suddenly turned around and said casually: "Sir, Ancestor! Didn't you say how many times did you talk to that dragon god? Could it be that it was because of the accidental staying..."

As soon as the silly roe deer was halfway through, Hetty raised his hand and pressed it on her shoulder. The conditioned reflex that had been raised since childhood took effect instantly. Rebecca was obviously shaking, and he swallowed the rest of the words...

Gao Wen looked at Rebecca silently, then looked at Hetty, whose face had turned dark, with a gentle smile on his face: "Forget it, there are outsiders present now."

Rebecca: "…"

Melita stood aside, looking at the scene in front of her curiously, watching Gao Wen's interaction with her family - this feeling was wonderful, because she never thought that someone like Gao Wen who looked serious and had a lot of halos would have such a relaxed and interesting atmosphere when she was with her family in private. On the other hand, as a "professional employee" customized by a certain biochemical company, she had never experienced the similar feeling of family life.

In the long years of the past, the synergist, work schedule and the Omega system have arranged almost all her life together. She never felt that there was anything wrong with this, but at some moment now, she actually felt a little... envious.

But soon, she got rid of this strange emotion and shook her head: "Ahem, I don't actually want to bother you, but I still have to explain this dragon egg clearly.

"First of all, I don't know how this dragon egg was produced.... Even our leader has not figured out this point yet. Now we can only confirm that it is a relic of our gods after they left, but the mechanism is not yet clear.

"Secondly, when the god left Yu Ling to entrust the dragon egg to you, he also left some words. These messages are of great significance. I hope you listen carefully."

Seeing Melita's face showing an extremely serious expression, Gao Wen instantly realized that the matter was extraordinary. His attention quickly focused and looked at the other party's eyes seriously: "What message?"

Melita cleared her throat and said solemnly: "The first: As a natural phenomenon, the 'god' will never die in essence..."

She repeated the words that Caladol had told her before leaving, without a word, clearly. As the listening side, Gao Wen's expression changed from the moment he heard the first content. After that, his tense face never relaxed for a moment. It was only two seconds after Melita finished speaking all the content that his eyes turned, and then his gaze fell on the light golden dragon egg, which still stood quietly on the base at the bottom of the metal box, emitting a constant glimmer, and had no response to the surrounding gazes, as if there were endless secrets inside it.

At this moment, the first thing I heard just now appeared in Gao Wen's mind: Gods, as a natural phenomenon, will never die in essence...

The Dragon God is nominally the patron saint of the dragon race, but in essence it is also a collection of various symbolic divinity. As a mortal race, the dragon has been respected by all natural phenomena - flame, frost, thunder, life, death, and even nature itself... all of this is gathered on the Dragon God. As the dragon successfully breaks through the shackles of adulthood, these "awesomes" will disappear. So, as a certain "aggregation", the Dragon God... will eventually disintegrate into the most primitive symbolic concepts and return to that "deep sea", or will it leave some kind of residue due to the gathering of human nature?

"The necessary element of the third story..." Gao Wen murmured softly, his eyes never leaving the dragon egg. He suddenly became a little curious and looked at Melita beside him, "Is this necessary element referring to this egg, or are the four summary conclusions?"

"We don't know... God's will is always vague, but it may be that we have limited understanding," Melita shook her head. "Maybe both? After all, we don't know enough about God. In this regard, you seem to have some special talent and can easily understand many metaphors about God."

She raised her eyelids and looked at Gao Wen's eyes: "So do you know what the 'third story' is meant by the gods? Our leader asked me to ask you before leaving: Do mortals really have other choices?"

Gao Wen was silent, thinking quietly in silence. He thought carefully for a long time before speaking in a low tone: "In fact, since the fall of the God of War, I have been thinking about this problem... God is born because of human thoughts, but it has also become a disaster for mortals due to the changes in thoughts. The end of the countdown in surrender is a way, and seeking survival in the killing of the gods is also a way, and as for the third way... I have been thinking about the possibility of 'coexistence'."

"It sounds very difficult." Melita said bluntly.

"It's really difficult, but we are not making any progress - we have successfully let gods like the 'upper narrator' fade away their divinity, and to some extent 'released' the shackles between the gods of nature and the goddess of magic. Now we are still trying to cut from the God of Holy Light through subtle ways," Gao Wen said while thinking. He knew that the dragon clan was a natural ally in the cause, and the other party has now successfully broken free from the chains, so he didn't have to keep anything when talking about these in front of Melita. "The only problem now is that all these 'success cases' are too harsh. There are irrepeated restrictions behind each success, and there are many gods that humans have to face..."

"And there will always be new gods," said Melita. "In addition, you cannot be sure that all gods are willing to cooperate with your 'coexistence' plan - mortals are changeable, and mortals bring about changeable thoughts, which destined that you cannot treat the gods as some kind of 'mass production model'. Every god you have to face... is a unique 'individual'."

"There will be a common logic behind the unique example. At least 'born from thought' is their common logic," Gowen said seriously. "So I now have a plan to build an alliance with the mortal kingdoms, and I name it the 'Theocratic Council'."

Melita was stunned for a moment and quickly understood the possible meaning behind this word. She gradually opened her eyes wide and looked at Gao Wen in astonishment: "Do you want to control the thoughts of mortals?"

Then without waiting for Gao Wen to answer, she shook her head again: "This is almost equivalent to controlling the thoughts of all mortals... Not to mention whether it can be successful, this behavior itself may lead to resistance from everyone... Unless you plan to build an omega system like us, the price of doing so is not affordable by all races..."

"So what I have to do is not 'control'," Gao Wen laughed. "In fact, according to our recent research, it is the overly controlled trend of thought that has led to the extreme power and continuous regeneration of the gods. Therefore, what we have to do... is not to control all thoughts, but to liberate all thoughts."

The room was quiet for a moment, and Melita seemed to be frightened by Gao Wen's overly grand and even a bit of absurd idea. She thought for a long time and finally noticed that Hetty, Amber and even Rebecca were on the scene with a very natural expression on her face, which made her think: "It seems... your plan has been brewing for a while."

"We have verified its initial results in the transformation of the Church of Holy Light, and also verified its theoretical feasibility in the chaos model of neural networks. We believe that through long-term social structure adjustments, popularization of education and change of customs can achieve this goal - even in a short period of time, it can produce quite good results," Gao Wen said. "The key issue now is that other countries on the mainland will not necessarily accept all this directly, so we need a theocratic Council. I hope to reach a basic consensus among the leaders of at least some countries, and then promote this change through gradual economic and cultural influences and technological developments."

Melita looked at Gao Wen and thought for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "I think I roughly understand what you are going to do. World-level education popularization and economic and technological development to force society to change customs... It's really you, you even named all this as the name of "theocracy."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "It sounds like you're interested in this?"

"Actually, I'm very interested - but whether the Dragons are interested depends on when we can see a more detailed plan," Melita said with a smile. "You won't even have a plan, right?"

"Of course, there are so many relevant information," Gao Wen said, but then he suddenly realized, "But do you really need it? You have already broken free from that shackle with your own efforts... The Dragon Clan is now the only 'free race' in this world except for the sirens, right?"

"Why don't you need it?" Melita asked back, and her expression became serious. "Indeed, the dragon clan is now free, but as long as we have a little understanding of the rules of this world, we know that this kind of 'freedom' is actually only temporary. Gods are immortal... And as long as the tendency of 'ignorance' and 'blind' in the minds of mortals still exist, the shackles will come back sooner or later. The survivors of Tallond are concerned about the two most now, one is how to survive in the wasteland, and the other is how to prevent the resurrected gods in the near future. These two things make us unable to sleep or eat."

She raised her head and looked into Gao Wen's eyes: "So, maybe your 'Theocratic Council' is a good medicine to cure the problem, even if it cannot... it will be at least a successful exploration."

"This review surprised me," Gao Wen said seriously, "Then I will prepare sufficient information for you as soon as possible-but there is one thing I want to confirm. Can you represent the wishes of all the dragon clans in Tallond?"

Melita faced Gao Wen's gaze, her expression solemnly became known and said word by word: "This time, I am fully responsible for Tallond."

Gao Wen nodded, then his expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Okay, we have talked about enough heavy topics, maybe it's time to discuss something else."

As his words fell, the atmosphere at the scene quickly became relaxed. Rebecca, who was hunching his neck and listening carefully, finally had a chance to take a breath. She immediately blinked and reached out to touch the light golden dragon egg, breaking the silence with curiosity: "Actually, I have wanted to ask just now... This egg was given to us, but how should we deal with it?"

"Not for you, but for Gauvin Cecil himself - there are some differences in this," Melita immediately corrected Rebecca's statement, and then showed a confused expression. "As for how to deal with this dragon egg... I don't know. When I set off, I only asked to forward it, and no one told me what else I need to do in the future."

Amber, who had never spoken much, thought for a moment, pinched her chin and said tentatively: "How about...we try to hatch it?"
