Chapter 1219: Lin Yaotian's "Pride"

Northern Cold City, the kingdom of God on earth.

After a big battle, the Northern Cold City didn't seem to have changed at all. The shattered church lay on the ground uncleaned, and Makarov's statue still stood in the doorway, as if he were still the ruler of the Northern Cold City.

Perhaps the only difference is the people walking down the streets, although the religious atmosphere of the former Northern Cold City is also strong, but it has never been so chilling as it is now.

Every pedestrian had a solemn face, no other expression, no joy or sorrow, the only thing they had was a pious, happy gaze, as if they were in heaven.

Whether it was a rich man dressed in splendid splendor, or a monk in a white robe, or a heavily armed guard, even the most loyal warrior of Makarov's personal guard in the past, maintained the same expression.

Everything was living as usual, walking, talking, shopping, eating. Except for the chilling expression, there is no difference from ordinary people.

This scene is really terrifying, people's expressions can be numb, can be indifferent, but people's emotions will never disappear completely, everyone will always have different ideas, even in a city like Benlong City, which is ruled by high pressure, it will never be the same expression for everyone.

This is something that no religion can do, and now, the Northern Cold City has done it.

In fact, if you continue to extend your gaze, you can see that not only the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, but also the residents of the entire Northern Cold City, whether it is on the street or indoors, whether it is men, women and children, and even newborn babies, they all have such pious expressions.

The huge North Cold City, the crowd is bustling, the voices are boiling, but there is no vitality exuding, the prosperous North Cold City is like a dead city!

On the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion, in the gloomy room, Lin Yaotian sat on a chair made of crystal, his eyes staring at the void in front of him, in the shadows of his eyes, there seemed to be thousands of shadows shaking, looking carefully, it seemed that countless people were constantly kowtowing devoutly, and it seemed that countless evil ghosts were struggling frantically.

Suddenly, Lin Yaotian spoke.

"King of a Thousand Armies, what do you think of the kingdom of God on earth in this Holy Son?"

A calm voice came from the darkness.

"It's good, it's a pity ......"

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity it's fake."

Lin Yaotian was silent for a moment and laughed.

"What is true and what is false? Is it true to be alive? How do you know that our world is not a huge lie? ”

"There is no point in such sophistry," said the King of the Thousand Armies, unmoved, "the peace I seek is not what you are. ”

"It's a different situation." Lin Yaotian said softly, "For the sake of the future, sometimes you need to pay a little price. ”

"Future?" There was some confusion in the voice of the Thousand Army King.

"Future, of course." Lin Yaotian stood up and shook his snow-white robe, "Ye Yu has defeated the Knight of Death and is heading towards West Stone City, he will have a battle with Huang Niyi, with his current strength, he is enough to fight with Huang Niyi to defeat both." ”

"That's your plan?" The King of the Thousand Armies said sarcastically, "Take advantage of their defeat to pick up the leaks?" ”

"And what do you think, my wise sage?"

The Thousand Army King was silent, and seeing his reaction, Lin Yaotian nodded with satisfaction.

"The current situation has long exceeded your imagination, Soul Warrior? The existence of the high in the past is now just the background of the great era, and you should know this very well. ”

"So what?"

"The end is coming, there is no hope for anything, the only one to realize your dream is this Holy Son, and only this Holy Son!"

"That kind of future......" There was a bit of bitterness in the words of the Thousand Army King.

"Even if it is that kind of future, we must go on, we must accept it!" Lin Yaotian's words were a little more resolute, "When did this world give us a choice?" ”

The two fell silent at the same time, Lin Yaotian's questions kept echoing in the small room, and the faint sound waves were like ghosts, burrowing from the ears into the depths of the soul.

After a long time, with a light sigh, Lin Yaotian rarely showed a wry smile.

"You know what? Sometimes, I really hope that there is a god in this world, not the so-called 'soul war god', but a real, indifferent, omniscient and omnipotent being. ”

"If there is such a god, will he really bless you?" The King of the Thousand Armies asked sharply, "How do you know that he won't treat you as a joke, a tragic character." ”

"I don't know," Lin Yaotian shook his head blankly, "no one can answer this question." ”

"So what's the point?"

"At least, I have someone to pray to." Lin Yaotian buried his head deep in his hands, "Whether he loves me or not, whether he can protect me or not, even if he plays with me and tortures me, it doesn't matter, at least...... At least I know that I can pray to Him, at least I have a presence to pray. ”

In this gloomy room, Lin Yaotian, who is always high, shows amazing vulnerability, which may be the other side of the emotion of "pride" - humility.

Because we understand our own humility, we are compelled to show arrogance, and at the same time accept the worship of others, we are filled with fear and helplessness because there is no one to pray for.

Lin Yaotian created the idol not only for those ignorant believers, but also for himself.

The small will of human beings is so powerless in the face of this unfathomable fate, the more arrogant Lin Yaotian is in the mask he wears for himself, the stronger the hesitation and humility in his heart becomes.

Because of pride, he refuses to rely on everything, but loses everything, what is the will of man?

People don't necessarily need a god to worship, but they always need a belief in survival, which can be very simple, or even very evil, but without faith, people are no different from grass, trees, mountains and rocks.

"Shushan is really wise." The Thousand Army King sighed, "As he said, the core thing of human beings is not emotion, nor will, but ...... Obsession. ”

Pulling open the door, a glimmer of light entered, and Lin Yaotian consciously shrank back, wanting to hide in the darkness.

Glancing at him with some pity, King Qianjun said, "Lin Yaotian, you are really a pathetic person......

"Where are you going?" Lin Yaotian asked.

"Lay out the back road." The Thousand Armies replied, "We always need a way back. ”
