Emerson asked, confused, "The answer is in this heaven?"

Todd calmed down and slowly explained to Emerson: "Whether it's absolute monarchy or democratic self-government, in the final analysis, the problem is the variability and complexity of human nature. Monarchs can ruin a thousand-year-old empire with a single stupid and selfish decision, and citizens, with a single irrational action, can bring disaster to an entire race. ”

Therefore, my idea is to create an independent soul space outside the scope of the material world of human beings, and to introduce an objective, higher-level rule that can produce behavioral and moral constraints on society, or law, for the belonging of human beings after death. ”

This law is mainly sent to heaven and hell by going back to the words and deeds of human beings during their lifetime and giving judgments according to the results of good and evil. ”

When Emerson heard this, he wondered, "It doesn't sound like the Bible or any other similar religious doctrine." ”

Todd smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't sound like a difference, but the set of rules I have established has two biggest advantages over those illusory religions. First, any believer can enter heaven and hell at any time by touching the "soul seed" to observe and examine how those who die are judged and divided into heaven and hell. ”

In this way, everyone will clearly understand that the laws of judgment in heaven are not the same as the ethereal doctrines of the Father's Church, which are real and can be experienced at any time. After personally feeling the power of the laws of heaven, I believe that every believer will pay attention to his words and deeds, actively do good, and stay away from sin. ”

Todd affirmed, "I'm in Froststone City, and I've tested the effects of the laws of heaven beforehand. It turns out that every believer there, after seeing the scales of fate and Valhalla, is more inclined in words and deeds towards pious faith than selfish humanity. ”

Emerson nodded: "If believers can feel the power of heaven at all times and experience the consequences of soul judgment, I believe that no one will be so stupid as to ignore what happens after death." ”

"The second advantage of the law of heaven is that its rules and content are not changed for human reasons. ”

"Emerson, you should be deeply touched by the actions of the Holy See. Take the Bible as an example, the earliest version of the Bible and the current version of the Bible have been modified, added or subtracted several times by successive popes with ulterior motives in terms of content and interpretation. Their purpose in revising the Bible was not to improve doctrine, but to consolidate one's religious prestige. ”

In the same way, in any kingdom, the previous king or parliament made a reasonable provision or an important law. When the next king changes or the parliament is reorganized, the original laws are often overturned or amended. ”

And the laws of heaven are not changed by the private will of the missionary, but once they are established, they will become eternal and unchanging truths. ”

In other words, even if the Church of Heaven changes the Pope and the City of Twilight changes the King, they will not have the power to overturn the existing laws for their own personal gain. ”

Emerson lamented, "In this way, neither the Pope nor the King, like all mortals, are the objects of heavenly judgment." ”

"You're right. ”

Todd looked at the mountains in the distance and said quietly, "After going through many things, I gradually understand a fact. The human race itself is a combination of contradictions. They have the passion and wisdom to create, but they also have the desire and tendency to destroy. ”

"If humanity is not given a space to operate and a code of conduct, sooner or later this race will destroy itself with the weapons it has made. ”

Emerson shook his head helplessly: "What you said is very reasonable, through this turmoil in Twilight City, I have also seen one thing clearly. Humanity without faith, once it completely denies the existence of the afterlife, becomes more utilitarian and extreme. In the face of national honor and personal interests, the vast majority of people will choose the latter. Because in their view, death represents the end, and it is the true meaning of life to enjoy life as much as possible while they are still breathless. ”

Todd let out a long breath: "If you deny God, you deny the kingdom of heaven." Then human beings will become utilitarian through and through, and they will abandon human nature and embrace animal nature. Regard material things as the only measure of value, and no longer care about the well-being and future of the entire community. ”

After a moment of silence, Todd looked at Emerson and said calmly, "Tell everyone in Twilight that the visit to Heaven is coming to an end. Soon, they will wake up and face reality again, whether they choose to continue to be slaves to money and material things, or whether they are willing to fight for the kingdom of heaven after death, this is something they need to think about. ”

Emerson closed his eyes, took a step back, and got down on one knee toward Todd.

Todd raised his hands and transported the visitors in the soul space to reality.

As white light flashed before their eyes, the citizens of Twilight City finally found themselves back in the square.

The sunset in the sky was still stained with sunset, and the blood on the high platform continued to drip to the ground.

It was as if everything from another world had happened in just a few seconds.

Aking up from shock and amazement, the citizens of Twilight City looked at each other, then whispered conversations, and finally turned into loud exclamations.

"Heaven really exists!"

"I saw an angel!"

"Sinners will go to hell and never be reborn!"

"Oh my God! I'm guilty! I'm going to repent! I don't want to go to hell!"

......

Words like these swept through the square like a storm.

With a deafening roar, everyone closed their mouths in unison and cast a reverent gaze at the black dragon on the high platform.

Todd looked at the old woman in the audience who pleaded with him for her grandson, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you see that?"

The old woman nodded: "I see it...... My son was judged guilty and fell into hell......"

Someone looked at the son of the old woman in the ranks of criminals and found that the man was lying on the ground, his eyes open in terror, completely dead.

Todd looked at the old woman who couldn't see and said word by word: "The judgment of every soul will not be biased because of his origin, sin karma is sin, and innocence is innocence. ”

The old woman knelt on the ground in the direction of the black dragon, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, bless you!

Todd straightened up and looked around at the crowd in the square.

There are the Holy Cult soldiers who are willing to give up their human identity to serve themselves, there are soldiers of the Warbands who have a strong faith and are eager to enter the Sanctuary, and there are tens of thousands of citizens of Twilight City who have just returned from Heaven and have seen the afterlife.

Although these people have different appearances and identities, they all share the same belief in their eyes - the kingdom of heaven is the ultimate belonging.

In the dazzling afterglow of the sunset, the black dragon of Dusk West City issued a declaration to the believers all over the city, which will forever be recorded in history.

"Look at me, mortals! As the Holy King of Twilight, it is my duty to bring you out of vain desires, to gather you from all over the world, and to bring your souls to eternal paradise!
