After the fall of the Old Era, Middle-earth, a chaotic region that had long since lost its oil resources and was constantly war-torn, became the fastest region to settle down in the New Era, and successfully gave birth to the first prosperous magical civilization.

"This is a gift from the gods!"

They attribute it to God, and even though the being that ended the old times did not leave a single trace of fame, they believed so.

But they just believed, they didn't chase it, they didn't really revere it, they didn't appreciate it.

Therefore, Middle-earth soon decayed, wealth made them sink, power made them swell, the nobles at home squandered their money like dirt, and the existence of other regions was trampled by the iron hooves of force abroad...... Thanks to people with lofty ideals who have stood up again and again for ZTE, they have continued their strength.

The more chaotic it is, the slower the times change, but no matter how slow it is, after thousands of years, Middle-earth has also come to the end of its power.

It is true that Middle-earth is a general term, and in fact, there are many countries in the Middle-earth region, and the rise and fall of countries have never stopped for thousands of years, but in general, people still have a perception.

The civilization of the world is in Middle-earth, and the most powerful countries will only appear in Middle-earth.

In the midst of this, faith is a tool used by the rulers of nations to consolidate their position, and the gods are only a good excuse for them to eradicate dissent.

This is not surprising, and it is not strange for a child like Lu Jian to believe that his religion/religion really represents the gods to save the world.

Children will eventually grow up, and when they grow up, they will understand after understanding the social reality.

That's how it should be.

But that day, Lu Jian fell.

While collecting medicine, he accidentally stumbled and fell off a cliff.

It was a danger zone, and the small animals raised in the church would not move if they fell, so he knew very well what the outcome would be if he fell, but because he wanted to complete the task, he came to such a dangerous place.

And that's what happened.

Fear, despair, panic...... All poured out in an instant, but because he had been educated by the gods since he was a child, at this moment, he still had a little more emotions than those.

God, please help me.

If the priest is here, if he can tell the truth, he will definitely tell him that there is no god in this world, and even if there is, it was the magician who saved him, and it is okay to thank others, and by the way, thank the gods.

Of course, there was no one around at this moment.

But at the moment of falling, he saw a dazzling light.

Coming to his senses, he was saved.

Saved by the gods.

"You're so lucky, I dare to wake up, but how to say it, people come to this kind of place, and it looks like I'm going to change places next time." ”

Lu Jian is talented, otherwise he would not have reached the holy level in the future, and it was this talent that made him understand at this moment-

If there is a god in the world, it must be this man.

He reached out to touch it, but the other person was gone.

As if he had never been there, if he hadn't been to the other side of the mountain, he would have thought he was dreaming.

But this is not a dream, so Lu Jian knelt on the ground for a long time.

When he returned, he preached all this, but when the priest and others came to the scene of the accident, they couldn't see anything.

"This kid must be asleep. ”

"I seem to be lying. ”

"I'm not lying!" Lu Jian said hurriedly, but unfortunately no one believed him, but he couldn't explain how a person disappeared, "Lord God must have flown away!"

Middle-earth is powerful and powerful, but there is no eighth-order, and the seventh-order is already a pillar-like existence for one of the countries, and there is no wind attribute, at least the fifth-order or above can fly...... So things went in the other direction.

"I think there is a strong person from an enemy country who is spying on intelligence!"

Times are changing, and so is the level represented by the word "strong" in the sense of hierarchy.

In this era, the sixth order is the strongest.

In fact, the bishop of the church is a fifth-order magician, and he can't even measure it, so it can only mean that there may be people above the sixth order.

So the archbishop was alarmed, but he could not measure it...... Finally, there is the only seventh order, and the lord of the country deigns to come.

"The kid lied. ”

Nothing is more decisive than the evaluation of the lord of the country.

Even if it is the eighth order, the fluctuation of his actions, the country lord can sense it a little, but he can't sense this, it can only be this answer.

"The gods really exist, why don't you believe it, can't it be that you are too weak!"

No one believed Lu Quan's words, but the bishop and priest at the time were good enough to protect Lu Jian with "he was still a child".

In the end, Lu Jian accepted the "reality" and stopped mentioning it, but no matter who ridiculed and despised him, he held back, because he believed that gods existed, and one day he would prove it!

When you grow up, you'll understand...... In the end, this principle still works.

The more he understood, the more he realized that the judgment of the lord of the country, the archbishop, and others was not wrong, and that it could be him, maybe him, no, it was him.

But that's not the point, because he understands that another reason why these people don't believe is that they don't really believe in gods at all, or rather, instead of believing in gods, it is better to believe in the system born under the laws of the world, at least it is real.

The reality of these people made Lu Jian feel disgusted and angry. The ridicule, targeting, and humiliation that they have been subjected to over the years have accumulated to the extreme, and then they have secretly exploded.

The reason why it is secretive is because Lu Jian has grown into a more realistic person than them.

Assassination, coercion, inducement, factionalism, and exploitation...... Relying on these practical means, relying on his brilliant talent, he climbed up and became an archbishop, and later got rid of the lord of the state and established the first papal state.

"No, it's called the Illuminati. ”

What qualifications do these guys have to be called "teaching", they are at best a secular profit-making organization, nothing more than a tool of the rulers.

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it, because he had become very realistic, and the people around him were forced by his power to succumb to him.

After that, he continued to work hard and led his country to conquer the east and west, and finally conquered the other countries of Middle-earth, making them revere the Illuminati, and later led them to defeat the first strong man in Middle-earth.

Then, he became the second strong man.

It has been said that the rise and fall of Middle-earth begins from the moment the first strong man is born.

That's because people only remember the first, not the second.

He didn't specifically inform that group of guys, because he had cultivated to this level, he also tried to go to the universe.

It's just that unlike the previous people, he doesn't want to see the universe, all he wants to see is whether there is a place where the gods live on it, even if what the demon king said is true, the universe is really small, and it is bigger than the celestial sphere, and there is always a place for the gods to live, right?

But like the explorers of the universe before and after, he was disappointed, and the gods were gone.

At that time, he was wrong, even if he didn't lie, he had a dream. ，

In this world, there is no God,

Back on the ground, he no longer had the intention of governing, because he was the ruler of the largest power in Middle-earth, the only eighth-order in the world after the fall of the Demon King, and there was nothing else in this world worth pursuing in this world.

The idea didn't last long, as he soon received a letter.

"I'm dying. ”

He is nostalgic for his old love, but there are not many people in this world who can make him miss his old love, except for the bishop who took care of him in the first place, and the priest was assassinated on his way to the throne a few years ago.

Coming to the bishop's bedside, he discovers a horrific truth.

The bishop is dying.

I'm going to die of old age.

People will die of old age.

He's got it all, but he's going to die eventually.

There is no god in this world, and the eighth order is not a god.

The eighth order is also going to die, dying of old age.

He decisively abandoned the state, because the shackles of the state were not conducive to the spread of the Illuminati and the spread of the Illuminati to the whole world, but after spreading to the West, he found that the power of faith alone was not enough, and he began to compile the Earth Chronicles and began to gather the power of fame...... Finally, without the knowledge of the world, he reached the ninth order, a thousand years earlier than the sage of the United States recorded in history.

But it was useless, at that moment, he was dying, and the realm of the Sage that he had spent his whole life to reach would actually die of old age.

"Hateful!"

In order to survive, he fled to the subspace, where he was given a false eternity, and then called a god in eternity.

But he knew that he was not God, that there was no God in this world, that he was not.

There is no reason to live, and hypocritical eternity cannot even be counted as living.

And he, forgetting why he lived like this, until that day-

……

"Finally...... See you. ”

And there the man was in the light.

Even if he was already a saint, he could clearly feel that that person was the existence he had been searching for.

At this moment, Lu Jian understood a lot.

The walls of heaven are changing.

It's not that there are no clues in the hypocritical universe, the clues are the entire history of mankind, the sixth-order era, the seventh-order that comes out of one can break through the wall of the sky, and when it comes to the seventh-order era, it has to reach the eighth-order, and when it reaches the eighth-order, there is no cross-step growth, but there is a false universe decorated outside, which discourages dreamless people.

Is this the system embarrassing humanity?

Of course not.

At the same time, he understood why he was finally defeated.

Everything about him can't get around the system, and he has been struggling to survive under the rules of the system.

So why didn't he treat the system as a system, and why didn't humans worship the system.

Naturally, it is because the "gods" in the hearts of human beings are above the system.

"Why don't you believe in yourself?"

That's all the man asked.

But the world of land pressure has darkened.

Illuminati ...... If the last word is mockery, then the first two words are to express his pursuit of regret about his childhood.

The pursuit is greater than the mockery, so he gave this name, but ended up being the one who mocked more than the pursuit.

Therefore, for all these years, he had never really felt the existence of the Star Country, even if he had been so talented.

Then again, what is his talent?

When he grew up, after entering society, he realized that his talent was really nothing.

But he still stood out.

"We'll see, I'll win you!"

"I'm sure I'll do better than them!"

"I must be the one who can survive to the end!"

He suddenly remembered what he had been waiting for all along-

"The gods exist!"

In the darkness, the child looked aggrieved and shouted with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Ah, I see.

He's too big.
