Medici rubbed his nose and still didn't speak.

"Why do you think this is schizophrenia? You should think differently..."

"Do you think human wars fall into the category of 'unhappiness' in His eyes?"

Edward replied lightly: "In the past era, whether they were crusaders or devout ascetics, they were all fighting for their inner faith and convictions, conquering cities and capturing believers for God. Why do you think this is not happiness?

Woolen cloth?"

"But others..." Klein suddenly understood, "Sure enough, only believers will be favored by God?"

He did nothing, but the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

Edward showed the dream that the true Creator had in the Sea of ​​Chaos. A city-state with extremely advanced technology was quickly constructed. The countless new devices stunned Klein, as if he had seen the fantasy of the future in a science fiction magazine. People's lives were prosperous,

There are many entertainment activities to choose from, including movies, art exhibitions, and shopping. The great abundance of material life has brought about the perfection of the spiritual world. Artistic creations and cultural creations have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Klein is overwhelmed by what he can see. Even Mei

Dicky also showed curious eyes.

But Medici’s focus was not on the world itself. He observed the crowds and buildings around him and quickly said:

"There are five churches in this city, and there are many people praying."

"What is that thing that projects the picture image on the curtain? Everyone watching will pray collectively for five minutes before watching."

Medici looked at it for a while longer, found the movie theater's projection list, and narrowed his eyes:

"The only pictures they can watch are allusions and anecdotes related to the contents of the Holy Scriptures..."

After being reminded like this, Klein finally turned his eyes away from the bizarre high-tech buildings and the delicious-looking buffet food. He observed his surroundings and soon frowned:

"All are praying...all are laughing...but their art and creations only praise God..."

He couldn't even find a picture without a cross.

"Your expressions don't seem to be very good." Edward said, "Don't you like this world?"

He looked at Medici first, and Medici just raised his head. Their eyes were in contact for a while, and Medici sneered:

"This is what you told me before, God's sheepfold?"

"Oh, if you let me judge, I would like to burn this world on fire. It's so boring and makes me sick just looking at it."

"But, indeed, there will be no war in such a world, the earth will never rise up with swords, and no one will die because of the war. Those brave warriors will no longer have a chance to shine, but they will also get the same ordinary achievements.

happiness."

"That means you're not too annoying."

Edward looked at Klein again and asked pointedly: "What about you?"

The more Klein watched, the more frightened he became. He thought of a word - "Uncanny Valley". Each of these people is an incredible devout believer if taken alone, but within it, ordinary people are everywhere. In such a world, it seems that

After a while, Klein even became a little afraid.

He hesitantly looked away, looked at the devil, bit his lip, and asked:

"Will they continue to live like this?"

"Yes."

"The same thing for everyone? Eat, pray, entertain, pray, get a theological education in all places, then teach your children to pray, and just live like this, waiting to one day return to the arms of God?"

Edward nodded again:

"Yes. Medici has just said that this is God's sheepfold. No matter which race you are, as long as you enter God's pasture, your race's own characteristics and history will be erased and become the same flock of sheep.

Shepherd, go on expeditions for Him.”

Klein pursed his lips and asked abruptly:

"Is Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun a being with the same power as God? How much do you know about Him?"

Edward immediately pursed his lips tightly and narrowed his eyes, and even Medici stopped scanning the surroundings.

After a few seconds, Edward's expression returned to normal, as if he had thought of something, and his tone even became a little relaxed and playful:

"He is the 'Old One' who was active from the end of the last civilization to the middle of the First Age, and is the 'great master of the spiritual world'."

"'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun' is his title in the Western Continent. It is one of his countless names. His other titles are: 'King of Time and Space', 'Beacon of Destiny', 'Incarnation of Source Castle', and 'Domination of the Spirit World'

'and..."

Having said this, Edward paused and said:

"'Lord of Mysteries'."

"The Incarnation of the Origin Castle..." Klein nodded without surprise, "So God is the 'Incarnation of the Sea of ​​Chaos'?"

"That's right."

"All sefirot have corresponding personalities?"

"Yes." Edward smiled and said as if he was in a good mood, "Since you are hanging on to the spiritual link, I don't mind telling you now - there is still a sequence to go beyond the true god, that is, through the source of matter, becoming

Part of the incarnation of the Sefirot.”

"Lord of Time and Space", "Beacon of Destiny", "Incarnation of Origin Castle", "Ruler of the Spirit World", "Lord of Mysteries"... This is the "Lord of Mysteries" in Amon's mouth... Klein muttered silently

With each of these names, I felt that the shadow in my heart became a lot bigger.

He immediately thought of a question and hesitated:

"What about controlling the source of matter?"

"That's just a beautiful thought." Edward smiled, "Divinity lasts forever, and we all have to return to the beginning and live over and over again."

He paused for a second and then said:

"By the way, now that you know the world that God loves, I want to tell you that the true Creator no longer exists, and He is about to become God to create such a world. His last wish is that you want to go

Stop Him."

Klein's breath hitched.

The sound of wind and snow in my ears seemed to suddenly become louder, and the sky and the ground were filled with white snow, like a white desert, trying to drown everything.

It's so cold.

Klein's eyes lowered slightly, looking at the perfect and happy world at his feet, and fell into silence.

Medici silently observed his profile, and saw the young ancient scholar thinking for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"I thought of it."

Klein raised his head, his eyes reflected this beautiful world, with endless yearning, but seemed to be burning with blazing flames:

"I can't accept the world that God loves... It's not that I can't accept those happy, beautiful and rich lives, but I hope that humans can live like humans, instead of entering the so-called sheepfold and becoming the so-called

Sheep, pastured, harvested.”

He must be expecting this, right?

If he hadn't been desperate, he wouldn't have chosen such a world. If he hadn't been helpless, he wouldn't have allowed himself to stop him.

"but……"

He sighed softly: "I will not destroy such happiness."

"There will definitely be people who long to go to such a world, such a heaven on earth. At least in such a world there will be no pain, no hunger, no wandering children picking up garbage to eat...and I, if my destiny is really

If God can guide me on the path of becoming the 'Lord of Mysteries', then I will gain the strength to gain the power to compete with God. If God has a sheepfold, then I will seize His sheepfold and divide those who have no faith.

The world of existence.”

"I hope that under my protection, everyone will no longer regard prayer as a necessity in life and piety as the only virtue."

"They have freedom, the power to think, the ability to analyze the principles of the world, and...the power to choose to go to God's kingdom of heaven."

"I hope people can choose their own destiny and world."

After saying these words, even Klein himself was shocked.

Seeing Medici's shocked eyes, he actually felt a trance - he seemed to have seen his future path, his future destiny. He was just about to embark on this path, but the true Creator was already waiting at the end.

He did.

"The Hanged Man" symbolizes sacrifice. The predecessors have already died first. Next, it is Klein's turn to take over the destiny.

The strange thing is that Klein doesn't feel overwhelmed or self-indulgent.

——It is really incredible that a mediocre, ordinary and inconspicuous clerk like him, an extraordinary person with a special destiny, could one day be able to say such words.

In other words, he may not be thinking about anything now, just looking at the figure of the true Creator who has gone far away, swallowed up by the light, and then, like Him, he will follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and guide future generations who are looking for a path.
