Regarding Gu Jiancheng's question, Xiao Snake unexpectedly raised the banner of opposition.

In the words of the board, it is:

- In this world, there are only believers who run after the gods, how can there be gods who rush to ask people to be dependents? It's a bargain!

In this regard, it only gives one way: as a god, it is a matter of course and to some extent an obligation to respond to the prayers of believers.

In the name of the Great Abyss, to respond to the true believers of the Great Abyss and bestow on them eternal sacredness, this is what the king of the Great Abyss should do.

Gu Jiancheng has no opinion on this, he just smiled and stroked the snake's head, and continued to talk earnestly, responding to the prayers of believers The premise is to be able to hear, and how to respond after being able to hear it?

As if sensing that Gu Jiancheng was finally going to do "business", the little snake was excited, jumped on his shoulder, and then pointed to the divine seat in front of him and motioned for him to sit up.

Gu Jiancheng hesitated.

He had sat in this position twice before, the second time was when he had encountered a mutation before, and he had no memory of what happened after that.

After thinking about it again, he still chose to believe the little snake and sat down.

There was a cold and slippery touch on his arm, and the little guy actually took the initiative to wrap around his arm, faintly overlapping with the imprint.

In astonishment, the noisy and overlapping whispers in his ears swallowed him like a tidal wave.

At first it was ethereal, then it became more noisy and urgent, mixed with prayers, curses, roars, and cries for help......

Chaotic babbling overlapped in a swarm, followed by countless specious images that filled his mind.

The color of pain appeared, he could not bear this endless prayer, the sound of prayer from all spirits almost swallowed him, almost instantly put his spirit into a heavy pressure, the next second he could collapse!

Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but cover his forehead with one hand, which happened to be his right hand that was wrapped around the little snake.

This magnificent and immortal palace suddenly trembled slightly, and the big tree in the center swayed and dropped a branch, which lightly touched Gu Jiancheng's eyebrows.

The mist-like pale green gas permeated his mouth and nose, and the corners of his frowning brows were slowly smoothed, and his expression returned to calm, and there was a kind of flatness that had never been revealed.

In a trance.

Gu Jiancheng traveled from bottom to top through barren fields, collapsed mountains, and dry oceans, lifeless worlds.

Along the way, almost every top of the ruined world sits a "strange-shaped creature".

They have the head of an eagle and a human body, hanging upside down in the center of the world; Some of them have red lips and flames, sitting on the throne of flames, and their fingertips seem to be playing with a red sun; Some of them have a wolf body and a snake tail in one second, but they are crow-headed and human-headed in the next second, and they are ever-changing in one breath......

They sit in the ruined centers of the world, like kings of the world, but they are all alone.

They looked up in an instant, locking on to the familiar figure.

His gaze skipped over them, and Gu Jiancheng came to the present world almost instantly-

The distant and vague whispers became clear at this moment, and the world was filled with bubbles of various colors, sometimes shrinking and sometimes expanding.

Gu Jiancheng subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, but stopped at the last moment.

Looking at the "bubbles" emitting black gas in front of him, he had a vague premonition, as if a voice in his ear was warning him that he could not listen to these dark prayers, which were all traps......

At this time, Gu Jiancheng naturally trusts his intuition unconditionally.

He carefully walked through the countless floating black bubbles, and finally found a white bubble, and his fingers carefully touched it:

“……”

A series of rattling sounds suddenly flooded into his mind.

Gu Jiancheng walked by silently, in a trance.

To be a god in these years, do you still have to be proficient in various Chinese?

What about the lingua franca of the star territory? What about telepathy? Say okay to get into your head and understand what you mean?

As he walked, Gu Jiancheng gradually discovered that among the countless bubbles representing prayer, black was "dirty" and white was "praise", he did not touch the black bubbles, and most of the white bubbles could not be understood.

He searched for a long time, and finally came to a pale golden bubble, just looking at it, it was so pleasing to the eye that people couldn't help but want to puncture it and ruin this beautiful ......

Slowly stretched out his hand to get close to the bubble, and the familiar lingua franca of the stars came into his ears, and a strange scene jumped into his eyes—

The boy knelt on the ground with his waist bent, clasped his hands together and muttered in a low voice, outside the window was the familiar iconic tower of the imperial capital, and Gu Jiancheng almost recognized it at a glance as the imperial capital of Dayao.

“…… O great King of the Abyss, I am willing to give everything I have, and I hope that you will heal my mother and free her from her misery from now on......"

……

……

As the capital of the empire, the imperial capital is located on the top of the floating land, and is a supergiant city surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea.

The purity of the blackstone lamps makes it almost impossible to distinguish between day and night in most parts of the city, but even here there is a gathering place for the poor to show the benevolence of the Empire.

In the history books of the empire, it is clearly recorded that the Taizu of the Ji family came here to establish a country in the [Wild Land], conquered and educated the local displaced people who had long been reduced to the remnants of the mist, and generously demarcated a living area for them in the imperial capital......

Under the dim street lamps on the side of the street, Wendy clutched her bulging clothes on her chest and ran in the direction of her home.

He is eight years old this year, and he recently found a job at the dock, and the money he earned, combined with his mother's job as a helper, is just enough to support a family of two.

It's just that my mother got sick not long ago, and many people in their area have the same disease, and Father Salang, who recently came to preach, said that this is a very difficult disease, which comes from the sins committed in the previous life, which is both a disease and a divine punishment, and it is necessary to pay enough atonement coins to the church and sincerely pray to God in order to receive God's forgiveness......

Wendy inquired about the specific amount, which was the living expenses of their family for half a year, and it also happened to be all the savings of him and his mother, and it was the travel fee that they had agreed to move to the warm Nanjiang County in the south of the empire.

A few years ago, my mother's leg was injured, and she was reluctant to go to the hospital, and she fell into the root of the disease, and when it came to a rainy day, it hurt badly......

This makes Wendy both happy and reluctant.

Happily he happened to have the money to atone for his mother's sins, as if the gods knew how much money their family had, and mercifully gave them the opportunity to atone for their sins.

Reluctantly, after paying this indulgence coin, their schedule to move to Nanjiang County will be postponed indefinitely......

However, in the past few days, Priest Salang did not know where he had gone, he ran many places but did not find anyone, and was accidentally pulled into another missionary organization......

Running all the way through the tall and low buildings, through the low iron gates, Wendy finally arrives home.

As soon as he entered the door, he rushed to his mother's bedside, his mother opened her eyes weakly, gently held his hand, the sweat of the bean was smeared across the side of her face, and Wendy took a towel to wipe the sweat for her mother.

He lay on the edge of the bed and whispered to his mother about today's experience.

Not only did he get a new "divine revelation" today, but he also got a blessing in disguise and harvested an apple from a kind uncle.

He carefully took out the round, plump, and very tempting apple from his bosom, and he couldn't help but want to take a bite several times along the way, but when he thought of his mother at home, he couldn't help it, and let his mother,

only to find that my mother suddenly fell unconscious.

"Mom! Mom! ”

Wendy didn't care about the apple anymore and shouted anxiously, but never got a response.

He wanted to rush out of the door and call his neighbor for help, but he heard that the neighbor's house was also in a hurry, which made Wendy's blood suddenly cold, and the family that had the accident was full of patients with the same disease as his mother......

That's what it is...... Divine punishment?

But why would God punish mothers who have been trying to live?

He stood blankly at the window for a long time, the towers and buildings in the distance illuminated by high-purity blackstone lamps, and on the high platform, brightly dressed girls and mild-mannered boys danced to elegant and soothing music......

Under the light of distant stars, they obviously live in the same city, but they are two worlds.

But Wendy never envied them, because he had the best mother in the world, who was the person he loved the most and the most precious thing.

Wendy suddenly turned around, rummaged through the day and found a dust pen, drawing a mysterious ritual on the narrow bedroom floor.

The uneven ground makes portrayal a hassle.

Wendy forced herself to calm down, and reproduced the ritual she had memorized during that meeting not long ago.

He climbed under the bed, found the iron box containing all the family's savings, took out all the money inside, and carefully placed it in the middle of the ritual.

After all this, he hesitantly looked around at his home, which had no furnishings or interiors, searching for everything he cherished, until he saw the apple.

He put everything he had at the center of the ritual, hoping to get back to the person he loved the most.

He knelt at the front of the ritual and prayed earnestly to the gods he had heard not long ago:

"O great King of the Abyss, I am willing to give everything I have, and I hope that you will heal my mother and free her from her suffering......

That moment.

Countless air currents converged from all directions, like the wind in the night suddenly had a soul, the whistling sound was as sharp as the low howl of a demon and like the praise of the Holy Spirit, and the invisible huge wind vortex slowly pressed down.

A huge shadow has descended over the imperial capital.

The fierce light that surged out of the darkness rose like a stream of fire, engulfing all the light between heaven and earth.

A solemn and cold figure protrudes from the darkness.

He leaned down slowly, picked up the insignificant thing, but gave the boy eternal immortality.

At that moment, the shadow he cast engulfed the imperial capital, and also illuminated the world where the boy was about to sink into eternal night.

An indescribable voice echoed softly in the boy's ears—

"It's a fair deal."
