Louie was not moved. Although he liked beautiful women, that only came from his instincts as a man and as a dragon, there were naturally times when Louie’s brain was not ruled by his lower parts. He would appreciate beautiful girls of various races when he had nothing to do, but when something happened, finding a solution was the highest priority.

Seeing no reaction from Louie, Shae was not only not disappointed, she even felt satisfied. Dragons were creatures that had few enemies on the main continent. They had no natural enemies, but this also made them unable to rule over anything. This was also why the race had many weaknesses.

They were arrogant, rude, lustful, vane, etc. These were the nature of almost every young dragon. Such a race could only rely on physical strength to survive.

Louie also had these flaws, but he was able to suppress them. In the world of gods, retaining the mental flaws of a dragon was deadly, so Louie had to overcome them.

As if to give Louie a reward, the Goddess stopped teasing him and said bluntly, “The Feminist Witch Council is established by the Earth Goddess Chauntea. I do not know when it was created. I only know that after the Era of Disaster, Chauntea would occasionally wake up and that she created this as her backup. I also joined the organization once.”

Hearing the Goddess’ of Night’s words, Louie’s eyebrows jumped. His face gradually became gloomy. He originally did not think much of the so-called Feminist Witch Council and thought that it was just a mortal organization, but after knowing that the person behind everything was the Earth Goddess and that Shae had once joined this organization, Louie became cautious.

Louie also understood why this organization wanted to be his enemy. Whether it was the Church of the Earth Goddess or this witch council, the person behind both of them was the Earth Goddess.

“A backup that the Mother Earth Goddess left behind? So it’s like the Theocracy that the Goddess of Morning and the God of War left behind?”

“It’s more or less the same, except Chauntea hid it in the shadows, unlike the Theocracy which is exposed to the public.”

Shae replied with a nod.

“Why? Why would Chauntea do these things? And why would she allow you to join this organization, Your Highness?”

Louie could not believe it.

Although the Earth Goddess was hostile to him, this was only for the battle of divine authority and had nothing to do with their natures.

On the other hand, Louie became puzzled why the Earth Goddess would create such a conspiratorial organization.

It must be known that the Earth Goddess was a neutral good deity. She was very old, just as old as Selune and Shae. This deity was mostly easy-going and never involved in strife. She even rarely appeared with an incarnation and only let her divine will attach to the land.

Unlike Louie who was a half-assed Earth God, she was a true goddess who had comprehended the power of the earth.

In Selune’s knowledge, this deity appeared as a grey-haired old woman in her human incarnation which was consistent with her nature. When the Goddess appeared as an elderly, it meant that their hearts had grown old and lost their vitality. Although they would not just fall and die off, they would be more reclusive and no longer care about world affairs.

It was understandable for Mother Earth Goddess Chauntea to fight for her divine authority, but creating such a bizarre organization was incomprehensible.

Moreover, the Earth Goddess and the Morning Goddess were allies while the Morning Goddess and the Night Goddess were absolute enemies. It was unlikely that the Earth Goddess would invite Shae.

Could it be that the Earth Goddess was a scum like himself? He enjoyed the benefits of both the Silver Moon Goddess and the Night Goddess, while the Earth Goddess had the Morning Goddess and the Night Goddess.

Just when Louie was puzzled, Shae’s ambiguous voice interrupted his thoughts, “Lord God, as a new god, you are ignorant of the ancient divine system. Do you know why the goddesses are a majority and not the male gods?”

When Louie heard Shae’s question, he pondered over it and said, “Is it because during ancient times, many races had matriarchal clans?”

When the fires of civilization had not yet begun, staying alive was difficult for any race, as a result, reproduction became the first priority. So, women who could bear children and provide milk for the health of the children dominated society and were the rulers.

After the gods lost their ancient powers, they gained power through faith. From that, it could be noticed that matriarchal clans would believe in female gods, making the gods overwhelmingly female. With how difficult it was to make gods fall, many gods still exist after so many years, and naturally, the majority were women.

Hearing Louie’s answer, Shae praised, “Exactly. Now, you must be wondering why Chauntea would do such a thing since it does not match with her past behavior.”

“However, this is her true nature. When the world was dominantly matriarchal, Chauntea was not an image of an old woman that she had now, but a young girl full of vitality. She was also the strongest god of that era.”

Louie secretly nodded his head. Just for the name Mother Earth Goddess, her power should be related to the land, maternity, fertility, reproduction, and so on. These things were all vital for the survival of the many races. As a result, her power would definitely be at its peak.

“But as civilization developed, a patriarchal society substituted the matriarchal society. Chauntea’s power also began to weaken. Although she possessed divine authorities of farming, earth, and other important divine authority that still made her powerful, she had lost her dominance over the gods. As time passed, she gradually lost her vitality and became elderly.”

The Goddess of Darkness spoke using simple words to explain the development of tens of thousands of years. Louie finally faced the reason why the Earth Goddess had weakened over the years.

Gods were truly sad beings. In the river of time, they also had to adapt to the changes.

Chauntea was a symbolic example. She fell in rank due to the change of time, causing her to be affected and lost her youthful vigor.

It was no wonder why the gods did not allow civilizations of various races to develop significantly. This was why the gods did not like change.

“Thirty thousand years ago, all beings in the world almost went extinct due to the invasion of the alien civilization. Chauntea did not die in the war that almost destroyed the entire Crystal Wall System, but the war had left many races ruined. This caused a significant regression of civilization which changed Chauntea once more.”

“She became young again. With her competitive and energetic spirit, she used the gap in her short awakenings to create an organization that could influence the main continent. She attempted to raise the social status of women and tried to bring back a matriarchal society again. Once such a change happened, she could be able to reach the pinnacle and become the head of the gods.”

Shae’s expression made it hard to tell what she was thinking. Who knew if she supported Chauntea or not.

Louie sucked in his breath. The Mother Earth Goddess was simply a pioneer of women’s rights in the world of San Soliel. Of course, this goddess was not really seeking welfare for women, but it was related to her divine authority. She was pursuing women’s rights for her own benefit.

It was no wonder she would create such an organization in which all the members were all women!

Naturally, it was hard to tell if there were transexuals as this was not a difficult thing to do with magic.
