The moment you enter the Tower of Heaven, the light in front of you changes suddenly, the ground under your feet is lost, as if floating in the dark universe, the illusion lasts for two or three seconds, and then a faint light appears in front of you, and the next second you notice it, the brightness of the light suddenly increases, in the dazzling light, the surrounding darkness fades like a mist under the morning sun, and the concrete scenery replaces the darkness and emerges in all directions, and at the same time, everyone is also liberated from the floating feeling of being in nothingness.

When he came back to his senses, Yihao was already standing in a square with the others.

A huge stone pillar was erected in the center of the square, carved with quaint patterns, making the square look like some kind of religious site, and it was large enough to rival the Cheng dù of Moscow's Red Square, which still looked empty even after standing on it with 3,000 people. The periphery of the square is planted with rows of lush green trees, and through the gaps in the trees, you can see the outlines of stone buildings, and there are no edges and corners of reinforced concrete on the houses, and there are no shadows of carriages and horses nearby.

The gentle sunshine from the zenith, the refreshing breeze swayed the trees, and the birds chirped and flew up from the trees, and farther away, people in light clothes strolled leisurely through the streets, their faces filled with contentment, and the air was full of peace and tranquility, which was a pleasant sight to look at - for these people who had endured so many hardships, the scene in front of them was undoubtedly the salvation they sought.

Everyone looked at the fairytale-like town in front of them, but Yihao looked behind him when he came.

A large enclosure took over his field of vision, and the surface of the wall was the same gray as the exterior of the Tower of Babel. But there is no portal above, and its boundaries are not visible from left to right or from bottom to top—if the purpose of its existence is to protect the inhabitants of the walls from danger from the outside world, it is a trustworthy guard, but if it were to be regarded as a prison, the inhabitants of it are absolutely not likely to escape.

Refugees who have become caged birds and do not know it. Excitedly cheering, they rushed towards the city outside the square, Yihao thought it would cause quite a lot of chaos, but what he didn't expect was that the people there welcomed them quite kindly. In a short exchange. Knowing that the inhabitants were actually refugees who had arrived at the Tower of Babel first, he felt sympathy for them who had been in the same situation, and soon settled them in a no-man's land on the west side of the city, where he had prepared everything necessary for life, including housing, clothing, and food.

As for the origin of these items, the comers summed up the past with a mere phrase "a gift from God." It seems to be understood as a synonym for "unclear".

In the end, Ida was elected as the administrator of the area, and the refugees were arranged as family units, and even Yihao and Asora were assigned a single-family building with a courtyard in the name of husband and wife, and basically by dusk everyone had a place to belong, and everything went smoothly as if it were taken for granted. However. Just think about the fact that they were wandering in fear only half a day ago, and it is easy to doubt the sudden happiness in front of them, but regrettably. Only Yihao noticed this.

……………………

"Definitely something's wrong!"

In the living room on the first floor, Yihao received Ida, the community supervisor who came to visit early in the morning, that is, a former AGS cadre

"Yes...... Is there a problem? ”

After a night's rest, Ida seemed to have recovered a lot, and her originally pale face had also regained a little ruddy. But judging by the deep disappointment on her face, it was clear that this was not the answer she was expecting.

"Didn't you notice anything when you put it on, Miss Ada?"

Yihao narrowed her eyes and stared at Ida on the sand opposite, she had already taken off her bloodstained and dirt-stained civil service uniform and changed into the clothes that were common here. It is a kind of clothing made of light fabric, which imitates the ancient style, and wearing such clothes does not feel too hot even if you walk in the hot sun, which can be said to be quite suitable for the climate here. And the looming skin under the crop top, coupled with the completely close-fitting cut, also made Ada, a former AGS cadre, also show another side of her sexy charm.

"This dress...... Is there something wrong? Ida looked at her in confusion, it was a random item she had picked out in her closet before leaving, and it hadn't been carefully examined.

"No, there's nothing wrong with clothes, both the workmanship and the cut are top-notch, and Miss Ida looks more attractive when she wears it, but it's just ......," Yihao frowned. Don't you think it's a little too appropriate? It's just like it's made for you......"

"Ahh Ada, who was said this, suddenly woke up and looked at Yihao in disbelief. "Indeed...... That's true......"

"And it's not just you, my closet is also full of such tailor-made clothes, as well as all kinds of other daily necessities, even the things I like to eat...

Hao's gaze moved to the fruit bowl on the coffee table, where there were all kinds of colorful and mostly immortal fruits that only grew in Penglai, even if you considered it from the common sense of the red world, it was impossible anyway.

"But...... Why is this happening? ”

"I didn't know I just came in to find out the truth......"

Yihao shook his head, picked up the fairy fruit, and took a bite, the familiar taste made him frown deeply.

"It's too exaggerated, even a true god can't reproduce this kind of Cheng dù...... Maybe it's a shady place that I didn't even imagined......"

"What do you think...... Is it dangerous for us to stay here? Ida asked the question that was of most concern.

"Well, I'm sure this Tower of Babel is definitely not the mercy of the gods, and since it's a creation made by human hands, it's hard to imagine that it doesn't have any additional purpose, right?" Yihao shook his head, threw away the fairy fruit, and stood up. "Anyway, we know too little about it right now. There is no basis for any judgment, am I going to go out and see if you are interested in accompanying me? ”

"I'm going too!" Before Ada responded, Asora poked her head out of the stairs as she slapped her head out of the second floor.

The three of them walked through the streets of the town, and everywhere they saw was a leisurely and peaceful scene.

In the courtyard of the house, a wealthy middle-aged man is humming a song while renovating his beloved courtyard; Under the shade of a tree on the side of the road. A pair of young lovers are in the middle of a visit; On the boulevard in front, a loving couple was walking, and a few years old children sat on their husband's shoulders, showing a happy family scene; Further away by the lake. Some people are splashing ink on the picturesque lake, and you can also see many boats fishing leisurely in the lake.

In such a leisurely atmosphere, it seemed that even the flow of time had slowed down, and in the process of walking from the west of the city to the east of the city, even Yi Hao, who had always looked suspicious and vigilant to the left and right, did not show anything suspicious, but on the contrary, received a kind explanation of this city of gods from others.

Remove references to "gifts from God." Meaningless content such as "end-time redemption" gives an idea of the fact that the city is currently in a state of anarchy. Communities seem to have been divided according to the number of people who came in, and each neighborhood ranged in size from a few hundred to tens of thousands, and although the residents of the community initially elected their own community leaders, these leaders remained inactive in the following periods.

Because here they are not required to do anything or even say. There is no need for the residents to do anything here. Houses, food, clothes, and so on are all gifts from God, and people don't do anything every day. They also have food, shelter, no sickness, no cold, no hunger, and almost unlimited resources around them, so that they do not have to worry about the cruelty of survival competition, under the favor of God. Everyone brings out the best in human nature, undisturbed in the pursuit of what they once dreamed of, a life that is simply a mythical paradise.

If there is only one responsibility that must be fulfilled in such a blessed life, it is to pray on time at dusk every day.

Every day at dusk, the inhabitants of the city would go to the nearby church, where they would thank God for their gifts, and those who violated the rules would be expelled from the Tower of Babel. However, this obligation is so easy that it is not worth mentioning compared to the blessed life that God has given them, and people take evening worship for granted, and devote themselves to it every day with great devotion. One reason is that there is a higher expectation in their hearts.

It is the legendary place of ultimate happiness, known as the "Garden of Eden", located on the upper level of the Tower of Babel, where it is said that only the most devout devotees of the gods are allowed to bask in the radiance of the gods, and it is the "Holy Maiden" who is responsible for leading the chosen ones to the Garden of Eden.

Neither the "Garden of Eden" nor the "Holy Maiden" is an ethereal legend, at least in this city of 100,000 inhabitants, every week at dusk worship, a few people are led by the Holy Maiden to the blessed kingdom of God, and many people have witnessed the image of the Holy Maiden, and under their testimony, people are even more convinced of the existence of the Garden of Eden.

Those who longed for the ultimate happiness in the Garden of Eden no longer doubted anything, but for a young man who had seen the true face of God, it was a dubious promise.

"Holy Maiden...... Yihao's mouth pulled a sarcastic smile when he heard the word. The fox's tail is finally exposed......"

"Do you want to check it out? There's a church around here, and it's ......," Ida looked up at the sky. "It's almost dusk."

"Of course, but ......," Yihao's gaze shifted to Asora, who was next to him. Is it okay for a demon to go to church? ”

"What are you talking about, the guy hiding here is more evil than the devil......" Asora shook her head nonchalantly, and the three of them walked towards the church.

The so-called "church" is actually when they came

In the center of the square is a huge column, which is more than two sides in diameter and carved with the image of angels embracing the sky, extending from the ground to the end of the sky. Around the pillars was a vast square, and the people who had come to the evening service gathered around the square, and by the time the three of them arrived at the "church" site, there were already quite a few kneeling residents. One by one, they bowed their heads towards the central pillar, closed their eyes, and prayed sincerely.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, thousands of people pray in unison to the central pillar, which looks quite a spectacular scene, but in the silent silence one can feel a creepy mystery.

The three of them joined the praying group. However, to his surprise, he could feel a faint flow of aura in this square within a radius of several thousand meters, and he turned his head to look at Asora next to him. The Demon Princess's expression also showed a look of surprise, as if she also sensed signs of the restoration of her magical power.

Yihao shook his head at Asora, signaling her not to act rashly, and then reached out and pressed it to the ground, carefully analyzing the faint aura around him. The fact that the aura is flowing means that although the restoration of the second law is far from being able to use alchemy, it has caused a crack to appear in the wall of the first law. Yi Hao was able to peek into the truth hidden under the peaceful scenery in front of him through the contact of Lingzi, but he was immediately shocked.

“…… Just kidding...... How could there be such a thing......" Yihao covered his forehead and couldn't help but let out a moan.

"How?" Asora looked over for some reason.

“…… Let's go back and talk about it now, and someone is coming. Feeling the flow of aura, Xun Yihao lowered his voice and warned Asora.

Just as he finished speaking. The pillar in front of them suddenly emitted a pale golden glow, and the residents who witnessed it became excited for some reason. In a whispered voice, the words "Holy Maiden" and "Garden of Eden" reached Yihao's ears. Combined with the various Yihao he had heard before, he speculated that this should be a sign that the rumored "Holy Maiden" had come to select believers to go to the "Garden of Eden", and what happened next confirmed his suspicions.

In the light of the pillars, the appearance of a woman emerged, as if the silhouette was made of filaments, and no specific face could be seen. But her graceful body and transparent wings make her look like a fairy in a fairy tale. The woman floated in the air, looking down at the crowd below, and the people kneeling on the ground bowed their heads in awe, and their faces all showed uneasiness and expectation, and their whole bodies trembled with excitement, which made Yihao even more sure that she was the so-called "holy woman".

It's just that he didn't have time to observe further, and in the crowd that was generally kneeling, they were undoubtedly conspicuous with their heads held high, so Yihao pulled Asora and lowered his head, and only quietly locked on to the woman of the "holy woman" in the sky with his will.

The woman was silent for a few minutes, and after making sure that everyone was stable, her gaze swept across the square in turn, and a spiritual wave that ordinary people could not detect also moved with her gaze, and Yi Hao felt that the spiritual wave was scanning her own aura, as if she was using this to distinguish the strength of the aura of the people present.

Since he and Asora have both converged their magic power, they are not more conspicuous than ordinary people in the scanning of spirit waves, but Ida on the other side does not know how to hide the aura, and at the same time, as a person in half of the red world, she has a more vigorous aura than ordinary people. Yihao felt the spirit wave finally return to her after scanning it for a while.

"Uh......" Ida was obviously aware of the anomaly, but when she looked up, she saw that the Holy Maiden who had been floating in the air had arrived in front of her.

"Sing the holy name of the Lord, O thou...... In the mercy of the Lord, thou shalt be blessed with the cleansing of sin and the redemption of the people of Eden......" The woman raised her hand and pointed to the central pillar, and as she moved, a ladder outlined by silver light unfolded before her eyes, extending from the ground to the position of the pillar. "Follow in my footsteps to the courtyard of the gods......"

"This ...... This ......" Ida looked at Yihao in confusion.

Perhaps she was looking forward to Yihao's construction, but the woman of the "Holy Maiden" next to her exuded an extremely mysterious aura. At close range, Yihao, who was worried about startling the snake, did not dare to make any rash moves, and moved his hand at the very least, instructing Ida not to disobey the other party for the time being.

“…… Got it. After receiving Yihao's assurance, Ida took a deep breath to calm her mind, and then mustered up the courage to step onto the steps of light ahead.

The woman of the "Holy Maiden" followed her and accompanied her step by step to the location of the pillar, and then the two disappeared together in the light of the pillar.

Only then did everyone dare to raise their heads, and they all sighed at the luck of the woman chosen by God, but Yihao stared at the pillar that had lost its brilliance with an iron blue face, brewed for a long time, and finally spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground.
