Chapter 80: The Kingdom of God Beyond the Heavens
"Why? Why are there so many wars in the world? ”
"Why? So many people in this world can't eat enough and can't wear warm clothes? ”
"Why? Isn't there a god in the world? Why not come and stop this. ”
In the desolate wilderness, a yellow-faced and thin-skinned boy lay on the ground, crawling weakly and muttering in pain.
On the face, there is resentment, unwillingness, discomfort, and expectations.
Suddenly, a faint voice came into his ears.
"If you want to escape war, hunger, and meet the gods, you need to go to the kingdom of God."
The boy looked up.
In front of him was a man hunched up, dressed in a linen robe, and wearing a grimace mask.
The mask, I don't know what it is, looks like a ghost or a beast.
He was thin, with long lanky fingers with nails like knives.
It's terrifying!
However, in this troubled era of strife in the Seven Kingdoms, what terrible people or things have not been seen?
With difficulty, he stretched out his hand to the strange man, "The kingdom of God? Where is the kingdom of God? ”
The strange man turned around and raised his hand to the moonlit night: "The kingdom of God is in the heavens, in the stars." ”
"Stars?" The young man raised his head and looked at the sky expectantly, "Kingdom of God, I want to go to the Kingdom of God!" ”
"Yes, if you go to the kingdom of God, you will be able to live forever." The masked man whispered, smiling.
The laughter makes people's scalps tingle, and the laughter makes people tremble.
.......
"I found out, haha, decades later, I finally found out." Under the residual lamp, a middle-aged man pointed to a handmade picture and laughed at the man with a grimace mask and a rickety figure hidden in the candlelight.
In that picture, there was a ball capped with flames.
Around the ball, there is a circle.
That's concentric circles.
It's just that the diameter is big and small, and between the circles, there are close and far.
On each circle, a ball is drawn.
There are also big and small balls.
Each ball is surrounded by several small balls.
This is a star map, a star map of the solar system.
"This is the star of the year!" Pointing to one of the balls in the planet, the second ball carried around it, the middle-aged man was full of excitement, "The star near this star is the kingdom of God." ”
"Take me to the kingdom of God, take me there. I'm leaving the mortal world. Qin is getting stronger and stronger, and the emperor of Qin is becoming more and more brutal. It won't be long before Qin will wreak havoc on the whole world. Take me to the kingdom of God. Running up to the grimace-masked man, the middle-aged man shouted.
The masked man just laughed, faintly.
......
"Why? Why did you bring us underground? Didn't you say take us to the kingdom of God? ”
Deep underground, by the light of a torch, an old man asked the grimace-masked man.
"Man's life span is too short to go to the kingdom of God. Otherwise, how about we build a kingdom of God? With your knowledge and mine, and with the people you have brought with us, we can establish a kingdom of God beyond the world. ”
"No!" The old man kept shaking his head, "I don't want to be in this world." Even if we establish the kingdom of God outside the world, we still have to be burdened by life? ”
"Short lifespan?" The old man shuddered, stared at the grimace-masked man, and rushed over.
"You've been the same for decades. Aren't you going to get old? Will you live long? He asked anxiously.
The man in the grimace mask chuckled indifferently: "I am immortal!" ”
"Immortality?" The old man trembled slightly, and then said, "I want to live forever!" I have found the kingdom of God for you, and you will give me immortality. ”
"Immortality, we can go to the kingdom of God together."
"Huh!" The ghost-faced man smiled faintly and looked at the large group of people following behind the old man, "Okay! I grant immortality to all of you, and I will take you with you to the kingdom of God. ”
......
In the underground mountain village, the old man pulled the grimace masked man who was painting on the wall in a stone world.
"Why? Why are there fewer and fewer people in the village? Why do many trees pop up in the mountains overnight? Why do so many monsters suddenly appear? ”
"Why? Promise me immortality, but haven't you given it to me? I'm dying of old age. As he spoke, the old man coughed heavily, coughing up blood.
The masked man just smiled lightly, "No hurry, no hurry!" Immortality requires sacrifices! I'm using the sacrifice to help you find the best secret technique to grant you immortality. ”
"Sacrifices?" The old man shuddered.
"Don't worry, since ancient times, there have been sacrifices for those who have attained immortality. Only by taking the lives of others can we exchange our own lives. After finishing drawing, the grimace masked man turned to paint.
......
"Immorality? To this day, you will give me immortality again? In the dark cave, the old man lying in the coffin was crying.
"My wife, my son, my grandchildren are all dead. The people in the village have all turned into monsters. ”
"I don't want to live forever, let me die, let me die. Kingdom of God, I'm not going. The old man wailed.
In the shadows, the Grimace Masked Man walked out, walked to the coffin, and smiled, "I promised you immortality, and I will definitely give you immortality." ”
"Rest assured, your relatives are still alive, and they are all alive in the kingdom of God that I have created for them."
As he spoke, the grimace-masked man slowly stretched out his hand towards the old man in the coffin.
"It's just that the world needs to be maintained. Otherwise, the world will fall apart and be in ruins. ”
"Your immortality will bring immortality to all the people of the kingdom of God that I have created. You will be my precursor to true immortality. I will, always remember you. ”
As the words fell, the fingers of the grimace-masked man gently stabbed into the old man's body.
Then I saw that the elder's body was twisted and changed rapidly.
He grew bigger and bigger, twisting the coffin.
He grew uglier and uglier, with a body on his head and a sheep's head.
His sad expression became more and more distorted, eventually becoming terrifying and insane.
.......
In the stone house, the ghost-faced masked man glanced at the coffins that filled the room, and then looked at the paintings on the walls.
"Alas, it is not possible to live forever with the world in the painting. Unless you can draw a picture that looks like the whole world. Unless the god in the painting is maintained to have the power of true creation. Otherwise, a painting is a painting after all. Dead things, after all, are dead things. ”
"Experiment, failed!"
With a light sigh, the grimace-masked man turned around and walked out of the house, without hesitation.
.......
In the painting, the shrine is a sheep-headed monster looking at the throne. Look at the person kneeling in front of you and thank yourself to Dade.
Thank you for bringing them into the underworld, thank you for giving them immortality, thank you for taking them into the Immortal Mansion, and enter the Kingdom of God.
They are their own relatives.
But in their own eyes, they are pieces of fatty and fresh meat for their own stomachs.
Under the shrine, there were many people who worshiped to the heavenly palace and prayed loudly that they would take them into the shrine.
Those, too, who he knew, had personally brought them into the underworld.
But now in his eyes, it is just a piece of meat that provides his own stomach.
Eternal life?
What does it mean to be immortal?
How can cannibalism be fun!
Hehe!
......
In the painting, Liu Ziang trembled violently, and his eyes returned to clarity.
Raising his eyes to look at the face of the person he had stabbed, he spoke in a little surprise.
"It's you?"
"Alas, in history, you are a famous person through the ages. I never thought it would be so miserable. ”
Sighing lightly, Liu Ziang whispered again: "Fatty, you stand back." ”
The fat man was silent and quickly retreated.
Liu Ziang held his sword in both hands, staring at the distorted face.
Take a big breath and raise your voice.
"My coffin is buried with the corpse of heaven. Gander! Your destiny is over, and God will bury you for you. Rest in peace! ”
After saying the last word, Liu Ziang raised his sword and stabbed again.
Finally, even the hilt of the sword disappeared into the face.
Suddenly, I saw the eyes of the human face wide open.
In the confusion, the eyes of the human face gradually became clear and comfortable.
"God...... Country! A weak voice came from the mouth of the human face, "Fan...... Space! ”
