When the "True Creator" came, whether it was in the clear sunshine outside or under the lightning and thundering sky in the land abandoned by God, all the "Secret Practitioners" felt unprecedented peace and joy at this moment, just like a ship returning.

When they arrived at the harbor, the wanderers found their hometown. The true god they passed by came to the earth, tortured them, and gave them guidance. The whispers quietly disappeared. Their world was quieter than ever before.

In the few seconds before the arrival of the gods, the most intense moment of the brief struggle to ascend to the angel level, the violent murmurs and roars of the true Creator almost deafened their ears, and loss of control and madness occurred one after another. But once this brief moment was over,

They will be able to obtain true physical and mental peace. They get up strong, fight themselves, pray, kneel to the ground, pray in the flesh and blood, and dare not stop for a moment.

In a certain house in Silver City, Lovia's mouth was full of blood. When she was in the most painful time, she even bit ten of her fingers and even a tooth, and held her skull tightly in her arms. She thought she was going to die.

, she wanted to die before seeing the light with her own eyes, but she didn't.

Her flesh and blood repaired itself, and she forced herself to hold up her upper body. In the silence, she looked through the narrow window at the sky with lightning and thunder, feeling terrified of the Lord's changes, but also faintly expecting.

————

The gate path sealing object and the spiritual world teleportation were used alternately. After walking a distance enough to circle Tingen several times in five minutes, Edward finally got rid of the gaze of the eternal blazing sun. In a small forest on the outskirts of Backlund, the abyss

The angel appeared through teleportation from the spirit world, and the feeling of finally being on the ground made him laugh happily. He gathered up the clothes covered with scorch marks on his body, feeling as if he had just run away from a fire scene.

"The Eternal Fierce Sun is really very careful. He was the one who assigned the angels to kill me in the first place. He was the one who found trouble after I killed the angels who were inferior to humans. I obviously left a hand and characteristics to him."

Edward dusted off his clothes, took off his burnt coat and hung it on his arm. Fortunately, the white shirt was still neat. He was now in Backlund, and there was no need to leave the spirit world.

Through the gate, the sealed object can directly enter the approximate range of the Aurora Society's stronghold.

The tortoiseshell glasses were lost at some point, and Edward squinted subconsciously. Of course, they were a pair of expensive plain glasses. There is no way that mythical creatures have vision problems. The Declined King just needs such a thing.

to stabilize his human appearance.

"Where should the Aurora Society go? This seems to be west of Backlund... Or we should go home from the spirit world first. It would be difficult if we accidentally walked into the back garden of a noble...

"

"...Take your clothes away first." The thing he was holding in his hand suddenly spoke, "It's all the spirituality of the sun pathway. It's nauseating."

Edward's footsteps suddenly stopped.

The Decline King's human expression management failed for a moment when these words reached his ears. His face twisted ferociously, shocked that things were out of his mind, and delighted by the struggle of the fate of the "true Creator".

His eyes widened, his pupils shrank, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably until they almost split open... He stretched out his hand to wipe his face, smoothed the corners of his mouth downwards, and kneaded the stiff muscles on his face into his usual peaceful expression.

Edward's eyes looked down step by step, directly meeting the red eyes of the baby who was held in His hands and wrapped in a coat.

"Oh, ally?" I greeted him nonchalantly, "I didn't even notice. You look very good now."

It seemed that Tingen had given Him a small meal. The face of the "True Creator" who had just been born as an almost one-month-old baby had no expression, but still showed a trace of confusion.

"I don't know." The True Creator said, "I was originally wrapped in extreme madness, but the moment I came to this body, I suddenly woke up. I thought it was the positive effect of God's descent, but - a period has passed

It’s been hours and I’m still awake.”

"So you've always been normal."

I asked Him: "You just look at the eternal blazing sun and keep glaring at me?"

The true Creator did not change his expression. He was not led away by my little act of changing the subject, but continued to think about "why did he wake up?". After all, there are a few angels, and it is not without gods for hundreds of years.

It was not that he had failed before, but this time the god was able to stay awake after the surrender, which made him feel that something was not right. He was thinking, he was still thinking, and his red eyes were full of doubts.

I'm also confused, this shouldn't happen. The authority of the "Decline" path is as simple as the literal meaning, using various curses to naturally guide life to the fate of death. And in the end, I will, out of personal preference, even the death of

Take away all the fate and let the creature that has my favor (love) live forever. Why can it have normal conversations? The most obvious characteristics after being polluted by me are confusion, self-shake, loss of due emotions, short-term

I couldn't even think rationally for a while, and entered a long and silent madness without knowing it.

The body dies, the heart dies, the emotions die, the soul also dies, the consciousness is blurred, and the self is lost... In his later years, Russell did rely on my curse to snatch half of his sanity from the fallen Mother Goddess, but this also caused him to be buried deeper.

He was crucified in the tomb, not even daring to take a step out.

What state is the true Creator in now? The secret prayers of the Aurora Society said that they had peace, but only for a few minutes, and then the murmurs started again. This means that the "He" in my hands is not complete.

He still stands in His sanctuary.

...That's it, I understand.

I suppressed my hatred for living life, looked at Him who was just a baby, and suddenly asked: "Are you very weak now?"

The True Creator slowly turned his eyes to me. He seemed unhappy that I mentioned this matter. After all, no one (or God) would be happy when he fell into the hands of a demon in an imperfect state. But

He still answered: "Yes, I originally expected that half of the power would come, but something seems to have gone wrong. I only have Sequence 8 now."

"However, the connection between me and the main body is still close. I can transfer my strength and gradually become one." He seemed to be warning me.

I nodded and immediately understood the reason for the accident.

"Weakened strength, enhanced consciousness"... This is the curse I have experienced, the curse of Sequence 8 of the "Decline" path, "the powerless one".

Sequence 9 is "increased strength, weakened consciousness". At this stage, the physical body and extraordinary abilities of the creature are significantly improved, but the inner self-definition will be slightly shaken, and the memory will be confused to a certain extent, which is the degree of consciousness. Decline. I used it to pollute Russell and use it as a catalyst to make his achievements even more brilliant. Of course, this is only Sequence 9 after all. The level of danger when becoming an Extraordinary is not high, at least it is far less than the half death rate if you lose control. Sequence 4, "The Heartbroken Man".

That is the most terrifying and traceless "death of the heart", because self-perception will be blurred again, and under the influence of the potion, it will slowly acquire certain characteristics that are completely different from the real self. Those thoughts It is very natural and logical, and you need to examine yourself at all times.

Once you mistake the thoughts changed by the potion for your own intentions, you will undoubtedly die. For example, a demigod once died because he became reckless. His friends learned their lesson, are always vigilant, and must think over and deduce three things before taking action. times, and then it got out of control. Because it is not the cautious type, and this caution is its "heart failure".

"This is a good thing, ally." I said, "Perhaps it is because of the disaster of the night. In short, your arrival was successful, thanks to Ourolius."

——Uroleus, of course it is Uroleus, it can only be because of him, the king of angels of "destiny". I underestimated him. He protected his master without reservation, and he gave all his strength to the true creator. Good luck, allowing the latter to draw the one that is most beneficial to him among my curses! With the help of my curse, his self-awareness increased and he actually gained clarity... Otherwise, who else on this planet can shake the destiny? Are you going to fight me?

"Urolius..." the true creator said to himself, not knowing what he was thinking, "I have arrived, and I can't make it public now, but it is still necessary to inform the church's higher-ups about this matter."

He and I looked at each other, and we both knew it well. The living space of the Aurora Society and the True Creator has been suppressed by the seven gods, and once the Aurora Society is overjoyed by the success of the gods, it will be destroyed by the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms. When the God of Knowledge and Wisdom realizes that the state of the True Creator has changed, the tacit understanding between the seven gods will be broken, and the three gods will unite to pursue and intercept the believers of the True Creator.

"Thanks to you, the impact of this divine descent is much smaller than I imagined. I was already prepared to fight the divine war as soon as it descended." He said seriously, "It's still calm now, it seems. They haven't yet determined whether my divine descent has been successful or not."

"You don't have a church. Also, based on our relationship and your identity, I think I should put you down and let you walk back on your own." I adjusted my mood - Russell is good at recreating, and he takes what he has come to. An Zhi——quickly said, "You are right, then what do you want to do?"

This little baby with distinctive black-gold highlights looked around, and finally his eyes fell on my ear - the "Purity Cross" pendant hanging on it. Then the true Creator spoke:

"Help me shine a light."

....I suddenly had a bad feeling.

“The Lord is babbling, but the Lord has not answered our prayers…”

"Mr. Z in Jianhai has felt spiritual shaking! The divine descending ceremony has begun? Who did it? Isn't this matter over?!"

"...Lord, please take my soul with you..."

"Don't panic! Go back to your place, Your Majesty the Dark Saint is already performing the ceremony, and you will get the Lord's response soon!"

In the largest stronghold of the Aurora Society in Backlundry, the underground church was busier than ever. Today was not a Sunday, and originally only a few believers came to pray. The Dark Saint presided over a small mass, and everything was as usual.

But at noon, a sudden strong wind blew up in the church. The flying curtains blocked the skylight at the top of the church. The only natural light source shining on the statue of the God suddenly disappeared. The candlesticks went out one after another, and the church suddenly fell into darkness.

dark!

Something is rising, rising, from the back of the hands of the kneeling believers to a height that can almost submerge the whole person. It is the dark curtain, the deepest shadow, covering the entire church, and the statue of the god has become like this

The only thing that can be seen clearly in a dark environment.

So the believers prayed more vigorously in fear and almost screamed. During the roar, they could hear the sound of human body breaking and flesh tearing apart. Everything was chaotic, in a trance, and spirituality spread out. Everyone felt like they were in a body.

Located in the depths of a huge, black mire, isolated from the world. At this moment, the church became a lightless absolute darkness, and time and space seemed to dissipate into nothingness. Being swallowed up inside, theoretically there is no air, but when you are in it, there is no air.

You won’t feel any difficulty in breathing, but you don’t know whether your body is performing the act of “breathing”.

The thick and overflowing "shadow" wraps the body like layers of glue, making it impossible to move. When you close your eyes, you can hear the distant shouts or whispers of many people, like a big tide.

After a moment, the sun suddenly shone in, and the believers who had struggled to endure the absolute spiritual silence and extreme uneasiness suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

What was the sign of the vision just now? The believers looked at each other in confusion, and then they realized that the whispers lingering in their ears had subsided at some point.

The dark saint Kesma who was present was about to speak out to comfort everyone. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around and knelt down to the statue again, and knocked his forehead straight on the steps until blood dripped from his forehead.

Because at this moment, all over the world, in the spiritual world of all the high-level members of the Aurora Society, there was suddenly a pure sunlight piercing the darkness. They, they looked up at the same time, and endless radiance fell from the sky, and the darkness

The inverted cross stood between heaven and earth, which was a symbol of God. An announcement like a bell came from an extremely distant place.

"I smeared myself with blood and hung upside down at the end of the world to bear the pain for all living beings and to atone for my own sins. You were created by me from the dust, and you are like leaves with nowhere to rely on; you are like standing on a stream, under your feet

There will never be a peaceful stay. We are looking for people who share our destiny and join us in the never-ending suffering. You will believe in me and you will be saved."

"Pray, and as long as you still have the strength, continue to preach. Use prayer to purify your souls, and use faith to praise My grace."

The words ended here, but just before the end, the dark cross was suddenly coated with a layer of dazzling gold. In an instant, it was dazzling and blazing like the sun setting on the earth - it was a golden cross.

The true symbol of the sun god buried in history!

This...this...the long-lived saints and angels opened their eyes in disbelief. Tears of joy flowed out of the eyes of some of those who had lived in the glorious paradise of the earth and experienced the fall of the sun.

On the way to the Raging Sea, Leomaster, the "Black Saint", knelt down on the boat in ecstasy. Even though the boat was picked up and thrown away by the waves of the mountains like a toy, it remained motionless. In the shadow of the God's Abandoned Land

, "Angel of the Holy Word" Stephen's lantern was thrown somewhere in the panic of kneeling down. Dark monsters surrounded him, and then he was swallowed by the shadow that spread from the angel's body, which was deeper and more terrifying than the darkness.

"Praise you! Praise you! The Lord who created everything! The Lord behind the shadow curtain! You are the God of gods and the ruler of the vast star world! Your words far away from the dust fall from the sky, bringing us joy and salvation!"

"We must not stop, we must drive out the demons on earth for the Lord! Your kingdom will surely come, and you will definitely return to heaven! We will love you with all our heart and with all our strength, and we will definitely see the armies of heaven guarding you in front of your throne again!
