Chapter 35: The Old Testament

(Actually...... The author writes slowly, all in order to save you money! I can't spend a dollar a month, how good, you have to understand the author's good intentions...... Serious and long-faced. )

"My Father in heaven, you have already punished mankind for my rebellion with Adam and Eve, will you punish mankind a second time for the rebellion of my descendants?"

The faint voice was familiar not only to the gods, but also to the demons, and even to the archangel Gabriel, for the owner of the voice should have died in the cave after giving birth to the young baby girl.

There is no such thing as hell in this world, because the earth is hell, and human beings live in hell, and the soul after death will only dissipate naturally, or enter heaven because of many good deeds in life.

The order of life and death in this world is like this, either go to heaven or dissipate, nothing else, but now, the voice of the first human ancestor is sounding again.

In the air, Gabriel, who was looking down on the human in front of him, stared at the phantom with his eyes, and then his heart understood.

"An obsession. ”

The woman named Lilith is indeed dead, and what appears at this moment is an inexplicable obsession, which is the obsession that she has a wish to be attached to the sleeping in the body of her descendants, this obsession is so thin that it is almost equal to nothing, but when there are only a few human beings, this obsession also gathers, and becomes more intense than ever, so that she can speak.

This obsession is weak, so weak that it only takes one action from Gabriel to destroy it, but Gabriel doesn't do anything because it's an exhortation to God, not a word to it. God only talks about destroying the world, but he doesn't say that he wants to destroy this obsession, it just needs to act according to God's will, and it doesn't need other thoughts.

In the underwater temple, the dark creatures were clearly aware of this, and immediately sneered.

"How stupid. ”

The deep voice spoke, mocking the simple woman who was as stupid as she was alive, and closed her eyes again.

And in a certain almost ruin-like underwater city, a beautiful woman with a bewitching figure stood in the ruins, and the many surviving underwater species around her all bowed to her, but she ignored it, just raised her head in shock, and her eyes crossed the sea barrier of tens of thousands of meters, as if she saw the figure that only appeared in a dream......

"Mom's ......"

Muttering, the woman tried to go up, but then, a solid arm gripped her.

"Don't go!"

A calm voice full of warning sounded, and the woman turned her head to look, only to see the handsome man with naked upper body behind her, with distinct muscles, full of different beauty, he didn't have anything else to say, just frowned.

"But ......"

The woman wanted to say something more, but the handsome man just said again.

"Don't go, stay, it's dangerous. ”

His meaning is obvious, it is under God's gaze at the moment, and if it appears rashly, who knows what the consequences will be.

Seeing the hesitation on the face of the woman in front of him, the man said calmly again.

"I beg you. ”

The man has never asked for help, he has always been arrogant, even when facing that god, as long as he is willing to plead with that god, he does not need to endure this infinite lifespan, but he can never feel the deliciousness of food, the pleasure of his mood, and then he will continue to endure the torture of endless desires in his heart, and he will always be forced to be in this state of the living dead. But he still preferred to be a living dead who couldn't feel any emotions than to ask God.

And now, for the sake of the woman in front of him, he took the initiative to beg her.

The woman's face showed a complicated color, she looked at the top of her head, and then at the handsome man behind her, the woman could only sigh in her heart, and finally nodded silently.

"Are dreams dreams after all?"

There was a slight gloom in her heart, but then a force came from behind her, pulling her violently into the cold and familiar embrace.

Overhead, the taciturn cold ice cube sniffed her hair gently, and his hands wrapped around her, unwilling to abandon her.

The slightest gloom in my heart was then removed, and a sense of warmth was given in its place.

"Okay, okay, I'm not leaving......"

The woman smiled, as if comforting a child, and then she snuggled into the man's arms, and then glanced at the deep water overhead......

She knew in her heart that this time she missed might be forever.

And inside the Crystal Heavenly Palace, the god looked at the world in his palm, silent, as if thinking about something.

......

On the ship, trembling humans snuggle together, trying to find some warmth in a world that is about to be destroyed.

They are just mortals, they can't see the phantom next to them, all they can see is the pillar at the end of the sky that seems to be about to close, and the five pillars seem to cover all the light in the world and plunge the whole world into eternal darkness, but they can't do anything......

After all, they are just mortals, just human beings, small and powerless, what can they do in the face of God?

If God wants them to live, then they will live, and God wants them to die, then they will die, and all human beings can do is to accept them.

However, the five pillars that supported the sky did not fall, but stopped, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, Noah's family heard a loud voice in the air.

"Man, you come. ”

With that loud voice, the environment around the humans on the ship changed into a grand palace, and they were in the palm of the hand of the god shrouded in light.

God did not show any anger or resentment, but calmly looked down at the tiny creatures in his palm, looking at these fragile and powerless little beings, and the human beings at this moment were no different from the two ignorant beings that had been born from the palm of his hand.

In the past, He was God, who created the first human beings and held them in the palm of his hand, and now, He is also God, holding the last human beings in the palm of his hand.

There is no difference between this moment and now.

"Here you come. ”

Immediately Noah heard again, and the God of light spoke again.

However, this was not addressed to him......

In the sky, on the earth, and in the sea, many souls who had died in the Great Flood floated to the sky, to the supreme crystal heaven, where the prime force of the universe was.

The billions of souls of the dead were dressed in different styles of clothing, men and animals, thousands of clothes, thousands of kingdoms, and omenous beings, and all the people and creatures of all the nations of the earth bowed down to God in their palaces, to worship the God who created the world, to the Absolute God who gave life to all things, and to take away all life, and then they were silent to witness what was to come.

"Here you come. ”

Looking around at the creatures of all the nations of the earth, God was unmoved, but spoke again.

Accompanied by a grand sound, in an instant, countless gaps were born around the void, and among those many gaps, you can vaguely see primitive tribes with plants and trees, battlefields intertwined with soldiers, flowery cities with busy traffic, and space battlefields with spaceships...... The endless time and space of the past and the future have opened their doors at this moment.

Out of the countless cracks, countless human apparitions emerged, some of them were open on their left shoulder, some were on their right shoulder, some were armed with weapons, some were holding books, some were wearing crowns, some were not wearing crowns, some were in rags, some were dressed in fine clothes, some were naked and muscular savages, and some were astronauts with huge brains who relied on machinery to maintain their texture......

By God's will, all humans and animals from all ages, places, and times have come together to hear the divine will that will be spoken next, and that all the creatures of all ages will be connected.

However, from those countless cracks, there were countless equally grand voices coming from them.

"O God of the past/future, you shall not interfere with the things of the future/past. ”

Countless loud voices were deafening, making the crystal sky tremble.

Then, from the countless cracks, countless hands stretched out, all of them were gods from the past and future time and space, all of them were absolute gods with omniscient and omnipotent power, and the gods of this moment intended to interfere with what had happened in the past and what had not happened in the future, and how could they let it do so.

However, in the face of these countless divine obstacles, the absolute gods shrouded in light did not even look at them, but also stretched out a hand......

Wave it down gently.

Immediately, countless screams sounded in countless time and space, and countless equally omniscient and all-powerful gods in those countless time and space were easily defeated by it, and countless outstretched arms turned into points of light and dispersed.

There were no violent explosions and no colorful lights and shadows, there were just a gentle wave of a hand.

Human beings have limitations, so they think that God also has limitations, but the absolute gods who are beyond logic do not care about the concepts of strength or weakness, life and death, number, existence or existence. Logic is only the tool He used to create the world, and logic can allow humans to define the world, but it cannot define the all-knowing and all-powerful God.

The Noah family could not see the confrontation between the gods, nor the souls of the many deceased, nor the human phantoms that came from countless time and space in the past and future, but he could only see the gods shrouded in countless brilliance in front of him.

Grandiose, vast, incredible, indescribable......

Noah could not see God's true face, because God was shrouded in light, and the light around God was like the sun, dazzling and brilliant, but far deeper than the sun's brilliance, hollow, dark, and dead, like the universe, without good or evil, but operating according to some kind of dark law.

Noah opened his mouth wide to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.

In his rage, he cursed the world-destroying god as an evil god, but when he actually saw the god, he realized what a mistake he had made.

The god who created the world was not an evil god or a good god, but a law in the dark, as silent as the heavens.

Is the heavens good? No.

Is the sky evil? No.

The rain falls on the righteous as well as on the unrighteous, and the thunder will slay the saints who take refuge under the trees, but it will also spare the wicked who hide in their homes. If you obey Him, you will prosper, and if you disobey Him, you will only perish.

Shunchang reversed the death, that's all.

If I had to give a definition of this absolute deity, it would only be ...... He did not follow the ideas of mortals, but of God.

In the presence of this grandiose, incredible deity, Noah even felt a faint sense of self-shame.

And looking down at the tiny life in the palm of his hand, God said.

"I make a covenant with you. ”

God does not mean Noah's family in the palm of his hand, but all creatures in the past, future, present, and covenant not with Noah's family, but with all creatures in the past, future, and present.

"Covenant...... What covenant?"

A dazed Noah couldn't help but say.

A grand voice resounded in the Crystal Heavenly Palace, imprinting the dialogue between man and God at the heart of this universe. The countless apparitions of the past, the future, and the present, and countless humans and animals have also heard the words of God and witnessed the covenant between God and man.

"Mankind, I make a covenant with you, the oldest human race has lost the Garden of Eden of eternal happiness for all mankind because of his rebellion against me, and has birth, old age, sickness and death, so I can no longer punish mankind for your rebellion against me, so I make a covenant with you. ”

"I have made a covenant with you, and with your seed, that I will no longer curse men because of them, and I will no longer destroy every living thing, as I have just done. ”

"I make a covenant with every living creature here, birds, and livestock, and beasts, and every living creature that comes out of the ark. I make a covenant with you that every flesh and blood will not be destroyed by the flood, neither will the flood destroy the land again. ”

In many legends of later generations, there are different views on the Old Testament and the New Testament, some people think that the Old Testament is the covenant between God and Moses, the Ten Commandments hidden in the ark of the covenant, but in fact, the oldest covenant between man and God is the covenant that God made with all living beings after the Great Flood.

No longer restrain the behavior of the creatures on the earth, let alone restrain the mortals on the earth with the idea of God, and from now on, to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.

After all, the king of heaven is only the king of heaven, and the king of earth is the king of earth.

"But...... But if you are a god and have great power, how can man restrain you?"

Noah, whose mind was in turmoil, suddenly thought and spoke.

"My covenant with you is forever, marked by a rainbow, which is in the clouds, and when I see it, I remember my covenant with all flesh and blood. ”

However, as a price, human beings will no longer have this thousand years of life, and human beings will no longer be threatened with extinction, but will only have a hundred years of life, which is also part of the agreement. ”

He said in a calm voice.

Noah opened his mouth and didn't say anything more.

This was already the best he could have done, and it was the best thing that a tiny human could get back by gambling with his own life, and he had done everything he could.

From now on, humanity no longer needs to endure the unspeakable suffering of the destruction of the world like him, and that is enough......

But he could not see the gentle apparition that had always protected them with open arms, and now he let go of his hand, bowed down to the god in front of him, the Father who created her, and disappeared into the air.

......

In the confusion, I don't know when, Noah's family has returned to the big ship.

The sea surface is undulating, the clouds are clear of the sky, and the blue sky is glazed, infinitely beautiful, making people feel relaxed and happy, as if nothing has happened. But Noah's family understood that just now, they had made a pact with a god, an eternal pact.

"Finally...... Is it in the past?"

Behind him, Noah's wife, Nia, muttered in disbelief.

The sea breeze was blowing softly, and Noah raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky, and a rainbow was faintly revealed in the clouds.

Although the storm was fierce, after the past, the rainbow after the rain was so beautiful.

"Hmm...... It's gone, it's all gone. ”

Noah looked at the rainbow and muttered, his wrinkled face relaxed as if relieved, the burden of one hundred and twenty years, once laid down, was so easy.

The corners of his mouth smiled, but suddenly a weight pressed behind him, and the hands around his waist hugged his waist tightly.

Between his ears and temples, Noah closed his eyes and took a deep breath, only one thought coming to his mind.

"It's good to be alive...... It's nice to have you. ”

By the sea, the sun rises slowly, reflecting the humans on the sea.

A new era has arrived.
