Chapter 32: The Water Recedes

On the fortieth day the rain ceased and the waters on the earth ceased to rise, but the waters did not reced.

The unprecedented flood had risen to the heavens, side by side with the clouds and with the thunder, drowning all the mountains, beasts, birds, human beings, and everything in the heavens and on the earth, whether winged, four-legged, crawling, running, earthly, airy, and watery, and even the swimming fish in the sea were overwhelmed by the huge pressure of the sea when the water level was rising rapidly.

Such a vast flood completely destroyed all living beings in these tens of thousands of years, and all the achievements of tens of thousands of years were completely destroyed in only forty days, as if a chess player was cleaning up the mess on the chessboard.

The rain no longer fell, but it did not recede, but waited silently, as if to continue to remove all that might remain, and so that the water continued to flood the earth for another hundred and fifty days.

On the vast sea, only big ships float quietly on the sea.

Those white white clouds are within reach, even the sun does not seem to be far away, and the angels in those clouds haunt from time to time, and when they raise their heads, even the Garden of Eden on the lunar day, the cradle of mankind, seems to be clearly visible.

This may be the closest humanity has come to heaven since it left the Garden of Eden.

Overhead, the blazing star emitted a brilliant white light, illuminating the dead water world, the melodious sounds of heaven faintly audible among the clouds, and there was only a slight sound of water and deep silence all around, and nothing else.

But this has nothing to do with Noah in the big ship, since the dragon disappeared, his expression seems to have become a little trance, he has become silent, does not talk to his children, often just alone in a daze, occasionally looking out the window at the sky, looking at the clouds and muttering something.

All this made Noah's eldest son, Shem, extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to try his best to calm the emotions of his family and wait for the time when the water receded.

As the days passed, the sun and moon rose and set, rose and set......

In this world where there is only water, only the nicks in the cabin of the big ship are increasing day by day, and when the nicks increase to the two hundred and third path, finally, Flash realizes ......

"Water...... It seems to be starting to fall ......"

Looking at the clouds overhead, there was some confusion in Flash's eyes.

He stretched out his hand to test it, and with his past experience, his hand should have touched those wet clouds, but ...... Not really.

His size hadn't changed, he hadn't suddenly become shorter, his arms hadn't suddenly shortened, but all of a sudden he couldn't touch the clouds anymore, the only possibility was ......

"The water level is starting to drop!"

Excited Flash hurriedly passed the news to the family, and soon, a rare joy appeared in the small family, only Noah was silent, as if thinking about something.

......

More than forty days later, although there was still water everywhere, it was clear that the sky above me was still unusually far away.

However, Flash, who has no way of knowing where the ship is, doesn't know if she's in the sea or if she's still on the flooded ground. So, Shem picked out a crow from among the many animals in the boat, and asked the crow to see for himself if the water had fallen.

However, after a day and night, the crow returned in vain, covered with water stains and not a dry place.

The ravens did not find a place to land.

So more than forty days passed, and this time, Flash saw the exposed peaks from the water, and those scattered peaks only showed a small head, most of which were still submerged in the water, but it was enough to encourage Flash.

This time, he released the pigeons and let them go in search of land.

After a day and night, the pigeon flew back with an olive branch in its mouth, and it dawned that the water had almost receded.

Forty days later, Flash released the dove again, and this time, the pigeon never returned, and Flash realized that the water had receded completely.

"Father, the water has receded completely!"

Delighted Flash hurriedly told his father about this, while Noah was looking out the window silently at this time, and when he heard the words, there seemed to be a change in his dead eyes.

Before Noah could answer his son, Noah's second son, Shem, hurried over and shouted with joy on his face.

"Father, the pregnant ewe just gave birth to a lamb. ”

The water receded and lambs were born, both of which were good news, but Noah just looked out the window at the sky and was silent.

Then he turned around and looked at the two children in front of him, at the wife and daughter-in-law who were walking towards him, their faces were also full of joy, and there was some mixed emotion in their dead eyes.

Just when the old world was destroyed and the waters of the new world were about to be born, the sheep just gave birth to a little lamb, as if God had arranged to pay tribute to the new world that was about to be born.

After a long time, he finally spoke.

"Bring the little lamb and let us make a burnt offering to the gods with it. ”

......

Inside the Crystal Heavenly Palace, the dark thing that could not be seen clearly sat opposite the god shrouded in infinite light beside him, and in the middle was a black and white chessboard.

The originally complex and chaotic chessboard is now empty, whether it is a saint or a monster, a hero or a villain, all life has died, and the absolute god who knows and powers without good or evil has given the world an absolutely fair judgment.

Under the gaze of the gods and demons, there is only one family on the empty chessboard, and they will be the starting point of the birth of a new world.

"The old world has been destroyed, the new world is about to be born, and the filthy blood of humanity has been removed, so that a new chess game can begin. ”

From the light that could not be seen directly, a calm and calm voice spoke.

And on the other side of God, the dark thing that cannot see the appearance is the way.

"The last mess in the chess game of the old world is that the angels under your command and the snake people under my command have participated in this chess game too much, so that the human beings who should be the protagonists of the chess game are gradually changing, and they are no longer human, so that they have lost the qualification to become the protagonists of the chess game. In this way, you and I should make a new rule that we should no longer allow all kinds of transcendent beings to appear in this world at will. ”

When God heard this, he bowed his head.

"It is so that all the transcendent beings in heaven, on earth, and in water should no longer appear in the new world. ”

In just a few words, the rules and order of the new world have been established, deeply engraved on the core rules of the universe, and from then on, no transcendent life can ever appear in this new world.

But at the same time, the dark thing seemed to sense something.

"Well, that human is offering sacrifices to you, God. ”

......

On the big ship, Noah's family had already built a small altar, and the newborn lamb was being tied to the altar, while Noah looked solemn, holding a knife in his hand, looking at the sky outside the window, muttering something.

"God, I pray to you here......"

"I'm just a human being, and I can't understand God's decision, why you want to destroy the world, but now that the waters have receded and a new lamb has been born, then I think maybe that's what you wanted...... Perhaps, you have already arranged everything......"

He said in a deep voice, with a deep sense of confusion.

He had a lot to say, but he didn't know who to speak, and he spoke to the angels in heaven, but the angels in the clouds did not answer him, but sang the praises of God day after day.

"God, my blessing is what you give, and my misfortune is what you give, and everything I have is given by you. God, you have created everything, and naturally you can destroy everything at will, and since this is the case, it is your decision, then...... What is the meaning of me?"

As he spoke, Noah had a self-deprecating smile on his face.

He took the knife in his hand with both hands and lifted it upward, but not towards the lamb on the altar, but ......

"Ahh

Behind him, in the sound of panic and screaming, Noah aimed the knife in his hand at his neck, and the sharp blade could still easily pierce Noah's skin with even a little force, oozing blood.

Raising his hand and looking at the sky in front of him, Noah's originally dead eyes showed incredible madness and fierceness, and in the air, only the terrible roar sounded.

"GOD! If you can destroy the human race once at will, how can you not destroy the human race a second time! In that case, then let the human race be destroyed directly! Why let my children and grandchildren endure such suffering!!
