Chapter 11: Unwillingness
In the days that followed, the Lilith no longer explored and frolicked curiously in the Garden of Eden, but often fell into quiet contemplation, as if she was thinking about something in her ignorant and confused eyes.
And different from her is the Adam who was born with her, the gentle and generous Adam does not think as much as she does, and Adam, who is still carefree and lives in boundless happiness, does not understand what his female companion is thinking, and even tries to make Lilith laugh and make her happy, but in the face of Adam's sincerity and simplicity, Lilith just smiled and shook her head and refused.
For her part, there was one thing she wanted to understand......
And at the bottom of the Seven Heavenly Realms, the sleeping serpent body was still sleeping, and the dark thing with the will of the serpent was leisurely looking at all this in front of him, as if he was expecting something in his hideous and cold snake eyes.
At the same time, in the crystal sky, the omniscient and all-powerful One looked down at the sixty-four chessboard below him, silent, as if thinking about something.
Chess pieces, chess players.
There are different rules of the game between different identities.
Both sides of the game kept in mind the default rule that was not directly stated, and did not have any intention of interfering, just quietly waiting for the outcome and changes.
And finally, one day......
"O human beings, obey the will of God, marry as husband and wife, and multiply on this paradise. ”
In the endless light, the creation angel Gabriel manifested a humanoid form, and a white aura appeared behind his head, in which he could faintly see many cherubs singing hymns, the monarch of the white moon sat in the air, and his body was shrouded in brilliant light, and the handsome and indifferent angel announced the will of God to the humans in front of him.
And looking at the angel in front of him, the simple and simple Adam did not have any thoughts, and obediently obeyed the will of God, but looking at the angel in front of him, Lilith was silent and did not respond directly to the king of the white moon.
Hitomi, who was so white that there was no trace of impurities, turned to look at the human in front of him.
"Woman, why are you silent? ”
The indifferent voice did not fluctuate.
And looking at the angel in front of her, Lilith thought for a moment, then clasped her hands and asked softly in front of the angel.
"Tell me, O Son of God...... Why should I marry Adam?"
In an instant, the son of God, the angel in front of him, opened his eyes.
It was not the pair of pure white pupils that ordinary people could see, but a kind of vibration, as if the lion who was lazily resting noticed something, and then was suddenly awakened, it sensed that something was wrong with the woman.
The pure white pupil looked indifferently at the woman in front of her, and the woman calmly looked at the angel in front of her, and her eyes that were once ignorant and dazed were as bright as a mirror at this moment.
"For it is the will of the Father. ”
The angel replied indifferently.
"Why, then, should I obey Heavenly Father's will?"
Lilith didn't back down, looked directly at the angel of creation in front of her, and asked.
At this moment, the pure white pupils of the White Moon Monarch became more and more cold, and it already realized something.
"For everything in this Garden of Eden was created by the Father, and life, and death, and the sky, and the atmosphere, and even the body and your soul that make up your body, and your soul, are the creation of the Father, and there is nothing in this world that belongs to you, woman, but these are gifts from the Father, and you must obey the will of the Father. ”
The voice of indifference remains.
As Gabriel said, everything in this Garden of Eden was created by God, and in the void world, God created everything in this world, and everything did not belong to human beings in the first place.
"If so, what about my personal will. ”
But in the face of the angel, Lilith still looked directly at the angel in front of her, and then stubbornly asked.
"What is my free will to be different from all things in this world, my life, and my personal will is not important, and I have no power to determine myself?"
"That is God's creation. ”
The angel responded to the woman in front of her.
However, the woman shook her head and said calmly.
"O holy angel, free will is not bound by whose creation, just as the flowers and plants that grow by the sun do not change their bodies because they desire the sun, nor do the rivers that flow down change their direction because of the water from their sources, and my free will, though born by the hand of God, does not belong to God. ”
Then, clutching her chest, the woman said seriously.
"Son of God, my free will tells me that I am not willing to marry Adam. ”
The sound of resoluteness was faint, but it moved the two players outside the board.
Between his fingers, a pitch-black chess piece flew on his fingertips, and the corners of the dark thing, which was shrouded in darkness and could not see clearly, hooked up the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.
And in the crystal sky, the omniscient and all-powerful looked down at the chessboard suspended in the air in front of him, pondering something.
......
"Perverse!"
With anger, blazing white flames gradually burned beside the White Moon Sovereign, while the original human looked directly at the Angel King in front of him without fear.
And that's when ......
"Lilith, why don't you want to marry me?"
Adam, dazed and confused, looked at the woman in front of him, his ignorant eyes were full of puzzlement, and the simple and sincere man who was as sincere as a child did not understand why women did not want to be his wife.
Turning her head to look at the man beside her, a smile appeared on Lilith's lips, and then, she stretched out her slender arm, gently brushed the leaves off the shoulders of the man in front of her, and slowly arranged the unkempt curls on his head for him, attentive and dedicated, as if an older sister treated her brother who was not yet sensible.
Then, she looked at the man in front of her with her bright eyes and said seriously.
"Adam, do you love Lilith?"
Then, a flash of confusion flashed through the man's ignorant and dazed pupils.
He thought about it for a moment, then hesitated.
"Love...... What is it?"
And looking at the man in front of her, Lilith looked at her former self, familiar words, familiar demeanor, familiar eyes, and then, she said softly.
"Once, I also asked like you, dazed and confused, but in the end, I found my own answer......"
"Love is a kind of freedom. ”
The bright eyes are as clear as water.
The Garden of Eden, the Garden of God, is the eternal kingdom of happiness, without fatigue, trouble, hardship, birth, old age, sickness and death, in which life will be unimaginably and incomparably happy and peaceful, but in this Garden of Eden, there is nothing but ......
Freely.
In the eyes of Lilith, who enjoys happiness, love is freedom.
She longs for freedom, loves freedom, chases freedom, worships and believes in freedom, and she is willing to pay any price for it.
"Rebel!"
And with the voice of the White Moon Monarch, the great sword burning with blazing holy flames swung out, but Lilith in front of him had already turned into white light and dispersed.
