The shift in moral values occurred in the postmodern era as a result of the meeting of various moral values in various different cultures. The virtual world seems to play a role in shifting the values of society into a new value system. The study of deconstruction in the research of Rahwana Putih 's Novel provides a new view of values relating to divine moral values, which are related to Javanese philosophy, especially the world of wayang. Javanese philosophy, a teaching that is well expressed in Sastrajendra Hayuningrat Pangruwating Diyu, is found in Rahwana Putih explaining the shift in values that is different from the epic Ramayana, as well as in the novel Anak Bajang Mengiring Angin. The results of the study resulted in four things related to the shift in divine moral values, namely 1) destiny, 2) darkness, 3) authenticity, and 4) perfection of life. By using the study of deconstruction, the meanings and perspectives of these different divine moral values can be revealed. The difference in perspective is very important to understand so that people understand the importance of critical thinking in understanding plurality so as to create an attitude of tolerance.
