Goddesses and witches are actually the same thing, a profession that communicates between gods and humans.
In the age of primitive worship, intelligent beings would take phenomena that could not be explained by the knowledge of the time and worship them as gods, such as fire, lightning, and giant beasts.
During this period, intelligent beings gave birth to a series of bizarre totems and worships, such as the 'divine fur' worshiped by the cavemen outside the Life Deep Pool.
However, worship alone could not satisfy the growing spiritual needs of the intelligent beings, they needed gods to respond and to entrust some unsolvable matters to them.
Thus, the profession that could 'communicate' between gods and humans—witches—slowly emerged.
As the knowledge system and productivity developed, people gradually discovered fire could be created, lightning could be harnessed, and giant beasts could be overcome. At this time, intelligent beings began to diverge.
