Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1457 Dialogue with God on the Nature of Order
"Lighton, are you alright?"

"fine--"

Looking at Layton's painful appearance, Xia Duo also felt a little uncomfortable. God may be able to promote civilization in a certain period of time, but more often it is a symbol of conservatism.

Just when Xia Duo was thinking about how to appease Layton, a flowing light like flowing water suddenly appeared around the two of them, enveloping the two of them.

Seeing this, Leiden immediately knelt down on one knee, and Xia Duo also felt a grand will full of order and machinery, watching him silently in the streamer.

"It's the Lord of Radiance!"

Xia Duo's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head and gave a slight salute, and then Liu Guang became more elegant and agile, as if responding to Xia Duo, but the grand will did not convey any more information.

This made Xia Duo a little confused. If the Lord of Radiance did not agree with his point of view, and even deprived Layton of his holy power, why is this happening now?

Is it—

"The Lord of Radiance wants to hear my explanation?" Xia Duo guessed in his mind.

At this time, the surrounding streamers were faintly visible, lingering around the two of them, but never disappeared, and the nearby security guards or local residents should have noticed such a vision, but now no one came to check.

This is enough to prove that the Lord of Radiance only showed himself and Layton.

And the other party did this not just to show the sense of presence, otherwise it could be replaced with other more grand scenes, such as the miracle caused by the Codex sculpture at the Midsummer Festival a few months ago, which was very spectacular.

This kind of streamer appearance is more private, perhaps it is really for listening to my own explanation.

Thinking in this way, Xia Duo also sorted out his thoughts a little bit. From the sudden appearance of the Lord of Radiance just now, his mood is still ups and downs now!

"Great Lord of Glory, as a mortal, I deeply feel the mighty power of time, as small as me, as magnificent as a plane, under the mighty power of time, there will be a day of its demise.

"Of course, this does not mean that everything before death is meaningless, on the contrary, in my hometown, a sage once said, 'If you don't know life, you can know death'.

"But we mortals want to live and live better, which naturally gives birth to family and society, from which order is born and continues to grow.

"If there is a law that never changes in the world, then I think there is only death, and everything else changes with time, and so does order."

After Xia Duo finished speaking, he looked worriedly at Liu Guang around him. His words might be more suitable for the Lord of Death, and maybe he could deceive God a bit!

But to the Lord of Radiance, it would be a bit offensive to say that, but Xia Duo believed that the Lord of Radiance's appearance was not just to listen to some clichés.

At this time, the other party's no reaction is the biggest reaction.

So Xia Duo continued: "Sticking to the law may be able to implement order as quickly as possible, but it violates the spirit of legislation, and it will be backlashed in the long run.

"The essence of the so-called 'legislative spirit' is order. If order is not apparent because of adherence to laws, what is the point of such laws?

"As the consul authorized by me, Leiden can adapt to a certain extent, but he chose not to act because there is no relevant legal support. He should indeed be punished, but he should not be punished for agreeing to a higher level of legislative spirit. .”

Perhaps the Lord of Radiance didn't expect that Xia Duo would feel wronged for Layton, and the streamer he showed fluctuated slightly.

Seeing this, Xia Duo strengthened his mind, as long as he didn't offend the other party directly, and didn't blaspheme the other party, there would be no punishment.

And as a god, perhaps after staying in the sky for a long time, he wanted to hear the difference. Of course, this was just some conjecture of Xia Duo as a mortal.

But the behavior pattern of the Lord of Radiance is relatively clear, and Xia Duo is not very worried about it, but is inexplicably excited.

It's just that the Lord of Radiance has never responded, which makes him feel very regretful. He has long been dissatisfied with the dogmatism in the teachings of the Lord of Radiance.

Although in the eyes of many lords, the dogmatic glorious priests are more conducive to their rule, Xia Duo does not hope that this kind of thinking will be widely spread in the future magical civilization.

Moreover, dogmatism itself is not exactly equal to order. Whether it is a good order or a bad order, it is essentially a manifestation of a certain will and a dynamic and stable state. (The will of the lord or the will of the ruling class)

But dogmatism, rigid adherence to inherent laws, cannot fully reflect the intention that this will needs to express.

It may be applicable today, but it may not be applicable tomorrow.

As the yardstick of order, the law changes every day, which itself means chaos.

Only by grasping the "spirit of legislation" and the "invariance in change" can we truly construct and maintain order.

Otherwise, it is very likely to become a stumbling block in the development of order.

……

Next, Xia Duo elaborated on his expectations for the future development of the territory, and based on this as the basis for legislation, he introduced several specific laws that may appear in the future.

Such as consumer protection law, copyright law and the like.

Whenever he mentioned a certain law, the streamer would speed up or slow down a little, and the reaction was very obvious; and when he suddenly stopped talking about a certain law, the streamer would even become blurred Spread out.

For a while, although Xia Duo was unable to determine the specific meaning expressed by the streamer and the will of the Lord of Radiance, it was not difficult to find that——

Compared with talking about the spirit of legislation, the other party seems to be more concerned about specific laws and regulations.

This discovery can't help but make Xia Duo a little disappointed. The incarnation of order in his imagination is now so shallow, how can this not make people feel disappointed!
However, despite being disappointed, Xia Duo also felt a little fortunate. If God is perfect, omniscient and omnipotent, then is there any need for mortals to exist?
Of course, Xia Duo didn't really think that the Lord of Radiance is superficial, maybe the other party has some deep meaning in doing so, but this at least shows that the Lord of Radiance also has self-awareness, not a manifestation of some rules .

Since there is self-awareness, it means imperfection to a large extent. Compared with ordinary people, perhaps there is only a difference in strength.

……

I don't know how long it took until the sky gradually darkened. Against the background of the night, the streamers around Xia Duo and Leiden became even more dazzling.

It's just that until now, no security officer or citizen has come to check on the abnormality.

Under the shroud of the streamer, Xia Duo even had an illusion that the space he and Layton lived in had been separated from the normal space by the "God" and turned into an independent space. What happened here Everything will not be noticed by the outside world?
The specifics, Xia Duo does not know, but the situation does conform to such a guess.

And when the sun fell completely below the horizon, although the sky hadn't completely darkened yet, the stream of light displayed by the Lord of Radiance became weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely.

Only then did Xia Duo truly breathe a sigh of relief.

But it's a pity that even if the Lord of Radiance manifested, he still couldn't recover the holy power that Layton had just lost.

To a certain extent, this may also represent His will!
