Chapter XVI Conclusion
After emerging from the wormhole, Neil was once again shocked by the sight in front of him. He and Schimer were now on top of a steep mountain, covered with snow and unusually cold, and in the distance was an open plain dotted with patches of snow and ice, and some sheep and shepherds could be seen moving slowly; Farther away, Neil vaguely saw a ragged prehistoric human waving desperately in his direction, and then prostrating himself to the peak where he was standing.
Neil was puzzled, but couldn't figure out why. Neil's gaze turned away from the strange primitive man, and he looked into the distance, and all he saw was the vast and endless ocean, but the sea in front of him was not blue and clear, but black foam like mud, rushing freely.
Behind Neil and Schimer, the sea water was constantly pounding against the rock wall, as if it was about to swallow up the life here.
At the end of the horizon as far as the eye could see, Neil was surprised to find what appeared to be a semicircular black bowl, upside down at the junction of the sky and the sea, occupying almost the entire distant horizon.
Neil's eyes widened to make out what mountain he remembered. In short, the ancient world is full of strange and incomprehensible appearances.
Neil looked up at Schimer beside him, suspiciously, who just stood beside him with a blank face.
Schimer stood next to Neil, his robes hunting in the wind: "Neil, at our feet at this moment is Mount Ararat, which is located in the territory of Turkey in Western Asia. Today, the sea has submerged almost most of the Eurasian continent, and it has become an isolated island.
"When the flood was raging, most of the land was submerged, and only the Himalayas, the Caucasus, the Alaska Mountains and other high mountains on the earth were exposed above sea level, and these highlands became the last refuge for humans and other animals. However, the cold climate, the shortage of food, and the scarcity of oxygen have also made it difficult for humans who have escaped here. At that time, people did not understand the real cause of the Great Flood, and the sudden disaster made you feel that God had sinned against you, and that it was God who caused you to suffer greatly.
"The flood remained on the earth for a few months and then gradually receded. The surviving humans slowly descended the mountains and began to rebuild their homes. The Flood has destroyed almost all of your civilization, and all the progress you have made has been wiped out overnight, and you have to start from scratch again. The difference this time is that there are no more Drogin or ancient orcs to help and teach you, and it's up to the humans to do it all on their own. But, in reality, we have not completely left you since then until you landed on the moon, we are just not living around you in the flesh as we did before the Flood, and our influence on you still persists, and this influence occasionally manifests itself in the form of miracles to a very small number of human beings. Neil had a puzzled look on his face.
Schimer smiled, "Neil, do you understand the meaning of this change?" This means that about 1,300 years after we created you, your relationship with the Creator has changed, and you have moved from the time of being with God to the time of covenant with God. This era began with the Great Flood and continues to this day. We, the Dzorkins, are still secretly guiding your lives, but this guidance is no longer direct, as it was in ancient times, but through the righteous, the saints, the prophets, and the spokesmen of God, acting on the minds and bodies of all mankind. Our teachings have changed from what we say to you to a belief that lives in the hearts and minds of all human beings. Back then, we made a pact with Noah to use the rainbow as a memorial so that the surviving human beings and other living beings would no longer be harmed by the great flood. Later, we made a covenant with Moses to guide him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and make him a prophet of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, revered by generations of mankind. Neil, if I were to make a contract with you at this moment, I wonder how you would feel in your heart? Neil was frightened by Schimer's words, and his face changed: "High Priest, this ...... What does this mean? "Neil, my child, you have lost your God for thousands of years since the Great Flood. You grope in the dark, helpless, displaced, and at the same time deceive and kill each other, like a flock of lost lambs, like a flock of children who have lost their parents. Back then, we saw your evil rampant on the earth and turned away from you on the spur of the moment, but do you know that as your God, we have always cared for you, watching you from afar, and we have never really stayed away from you. Nowadays, your civilization is becoming more and more developed, but you are getting farther and farther away from what we expect, and the most terrible thing is that you have embarked on another path of no return. Your greed has not changed, and for your own selfish desires you have driven more and more creatures on Earth to the end of the cliff; Your technological deformity has tormented your planet as your own lives become more and more extravagant and lascivious. Today, humanity can successfully land on the moon, and you, as a representative of mankind, have once again come to the kingdom of God, which is a great progress, but it is also a rare turnaround. At this time, I would like to convey through you the message to all the humanity of the earth that your God will return to earth! And you, Neil, are our promised Messiah! Neil was stunned, his mouth wide open, and he couldn't realize what Schimer's words meant.
Schimer stared straight at Neil with his pale blue eyes, and spat out words that seemed to hypnotize the other party: "Neil, think about it, this is going to be an earth-shattering event!" ”
"It was indeed an earth-shattering event! When I heard it, my heart was overwhelmed. But I'm afraid...... Messiah or something...... I'm afraid I'm not up to the ......."
"Don't be afraid, Neal, God has chosen you for a reason, and you have to believe in yourself. This is a rare opportunity, please seize it, this is your destiny, but also your responsibility! Think about it, in the days to come, you will be a figure alongside the giants of Noah, Moses, and Abraham, and you will be admired by all nations, you will be a prophet of a new generation of mankind, and you will preach the gospel of God's return to earth throughout the world, and the people of the world will thank you, sing your praises, honor you, and even fear you. Behind you is us, the God of all mankind, your Creator, and you are our spokesman. You will become the king of mankind, and you will do more than anyone else since the beginning of mankind......"
"No, no, no", Neil instinctively resisted,
"High priest, please, don't do this, I'm just an ordinary astronaut, I'm not the Messiah, and I don't want to be a spokesman, I don't have such preparation at all, this matter is far beyond my ability."
"Neil, I know it's more than you can imagine, but you're more than capable of getting it done. We will give you plenty of time, we will help you to achieve it step by step, and you will eventually lead humanity into a new era. ”
"I'm sorry, High Priest, please wait a minute, let me put my thoughts in order...... What do you need me to do as a first step? ”
"Make a covenant with us, like your great ancestors, formally, with the pen in your hand, on behalf of humanity, to make a covenant with us."
"Conclusion...... What kind of covenant? ”
"As a representative of humanity, agree that your gods, the Drowgins, return to Earth." Schimer's eyes flashed eagerly, but Neil's mind gradually cooled.
He looked up at the other and said nothing more, just kept shaking his head mechanically. Schimer's tall body stood in front of Neil, and the sense of coercion was like a mountain.
His gaze was half fanatical and half seductive, and his hands raised in excitement hovered above Neil's head before they could fall.
Neil didn't know what Schimer was going to do to him next, and he was scared, and there was a pleading look in his eyes.
Seeing Neil's timid eyes and slightly trembling body, Schimer restrained some wild emotions a little, he looked at Neil and said slowly and patiently: "Neil, don't be afraid, I respect your wishes, I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do, I just hope you can think about it carefully." Think about it, God's Spokesman, King of Men, we are at your side. Isn't this an opportunity that is hard to find in a thousand years? Isn't this a great thing that has never been done in the past? Tell me about your buried wishes, and I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually. Neil just shook his head, almost crying like a student who couldn't solve the problem in front of a stern teacher.
Schimer stood beside Neil, staring at Neil with deep eyes like a wolf, and there was a hint of disdain in his encouraging gaze, as if he was facing his own uncompetitive child.
After a long time, Schimer sighed, as if he had made a great determination, and began to adjust the device on his wrist again, and Neil was so nervous that his body began to tremble again.
With a crackling sound, a wormhole flashing with an arc appeared in front of them, and as Schimer pulled Neil inside, he muttered, "My child, let me show you what true glory is." ”
