?Chapter 371: Chapter 371: In Front of the Barbecue Stall Chapter 371: Chapter 371: In Front of the Barbecue Stall “Science Side versus Magic Side—what does that have to do with the Divine Realm?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Lie Huozhi almost passed out from lack of breath.

“Shen Lie, in your view, what are the fundamental goals of science and magic respectively?”

Seeing the conflicted expression on the face of the Girl Saint before me, I suddenly felt overtaken by a teaching spirit.

“The fundamental goals of science and magic?” Shen Lie clearly hadn’t considered this question before, and thus a bewildered expression appeared on her face. “If we are talking about developing the power of magic to its limit, it would probably be… God’s domain… right?”

“Science is the same,” I said, shaking my finger in front of the increasingly puzzled Shen Lie. “Although the terms differ, the Magic Side calls it the ‘mysteries of God,’ while people from the Science Side are more accustomed to referring to it as various truths, laws, science, and magic. They are all tools used by mortals to explore the ultimate truths of the world, meaning the distinction between science and magic is based entirely on the methods of seeking the truth.”

“Your teachings are very enlightening!”

Shen Lie immediately bowed respectfully.

“So, to us, the difference and opposition between science and magic are meaningless—for we are the truth.

“As the ultimate answer, there is no need to worry about the process of solving, as the ultimate truth, there is no need to concern about the methods used to seek this truth. You might think of Angels as mythical creatures, manifestations of the Magic Side’s power, but in reality, the root of this world has nothing to do with magic or science. It simply exists, as the foundation of this world, from the beginning to the end. Even if all the powers of science and magic in the world were to disappear, the truth of this world would not change in the slightest. So I say, in the eyes of ‘God’ who represents the truth, science and magic are the same—they are tools created by mortals, used as codebooks to understand the world, and the power of gods is above any form of power from science or magic. Do you see?”

Shen Lie was silent for a long time and finally spoke slowly: “Although I understand, and your teachings seem irrefutable, it’s still… really hard to accept.”

“That’s true,” I nodded. “And most of the Angels are indeed tech idiots (that fool Alaya now even has to refer to the manual for ages just to use a communicator!), after all, you have been taught since childhood that science and magic are absolutely contrary, which is why the humans of this world are still at a primitive stage of civilization.”

“Is that so…”

Shen Lie said softly, seemingly unable to accept this contradiction to her lifelong beliefs momentarily, just as she mentioned, although the theory seemed irrefutable, accepting it was quite difficult.

“Alright, let’s not think about these headache-inducing matters anymore,” seeing Shen Lie about to fall into the paradoxical thinking of a philosopher, and feeling my stomach protesting ever more intensely, I decisively chose to shift my focus. “Stay for dinner, and taste my sister’s cooking—what is that look supposed to mean?”

Shen Lie looked at me with a strange expression and finally muttered softly after a moment, “Do Angels usually… cook as well?”

“Just take everything as normal! Moreover, we are here on vacation, even if experiencing life, we’ve got to live like humans, right?”
