Chapter 157: Greater Than God

"At first I couldn't see the man's face, I couldn't even determine the man's location, after drinking the blood dripping from the sheep's mouth, my senses became unusually sensitive, but when I heard the man's words, for a moment I couldn't be sure where he was, near or far, heaven or earth. ”

"Do you think he's the mysterious man who appeared in your room in the middle of the night?" Sether was completely fascinated when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask again, he didn't expect Isis's early stories to attract him so much.

"No, I was sure right away. These two people give me completely different feelings," Isis's voice was so hoarse that he could barely hear him, "the man who appeared in the middle of the night gave me a bad feeling, because of him, I felt ashamed, angry, and a feeling that I was going to die at any moment—even though he had not done or said anything threatening to me, and the man who suddenly appeared next to me on the top of the mountain did not give me any negative feelings at all. ”

It took me a while to see that the man was standing next to me. At the same time, the moon rose on the top of the mountain, a bright red blood moon, and in the old days, I would have been afraid to see it, and there were many terrible legends about the blood moon among the people I was born into. Yet, on that strange night, when I saw the blood moon, which was almost brighter than coals of fire, I felt more comforted than I had ever felt like a man who was about to drown and had managed to climb a driftwood in the middle of the sea. ”

"The blood moon that night was terrifyingly large and amazingly round, as if it would fall down at any moment, and smash on the top of the mountain where I was, and the red blood light surged on the moon disk, and I could almost smell the sweet and fiery blood above the blood moon through the night. The man was standing beneath the blood moon, beside me, and the blood moon reflected on his head like a terrible red crown on his head. I could only see his figure, it was a very tall man, more than a head and a half taller than me. Even though everything around me was bright and visible under the light of the blood moon, I could never see the face of the man who was close at hand. ”

"But I knew that this man was bent his head down and staring at me with his eyes hidden in the dark. He was waiting for my answer, and was waiting for my reply quite urgently, and though he didn't say a word afterwards, I could feel it. ”

"'You said you had chosen me,' and I heard my own voice, which was surprisingly calm and not trembling in the slightest, and I was startled, 'What does that mean, who are you?'"

"'It doesn't matter who I am,' the man spoke, and his voice sounded like a sweet catan, and sounded extremely modest and gentle, without any intention of making me feel hostile or reproachful, and my defences were immediately relieved, and I knew that he was telling the truth, and that he had no ill will towards me—at least at the time, I thought. ”

"'It doesn't matter who I am,' the man repeated again, 'what matters, who are you? Who do you want to be?'"

"I was about to answer, but the man, as if reading my thoughts, raised his hand as if to stop what I was about to say, 'You don't have to rush to answer me, you can think about it, I have enough time to wait. ’”

"'Wait?' I repeated his words, and before I knew it, I wanted him to say more to me, because his voice was so soft and so beautiful that I wanted to keep listening to him, 'What are you waiting for?'"

"'I am waiting for you,' he replied at once, 'waiting for you to worship me with all your heart and surrender to me.'" Lingdu e-book

As he said this, his body turned to me, but his upper body was still shrouded in darkness. I tried in vain to stand on tiptoe to see what he looked like, but by the light of the blood moon I could see the lower half of his clothes, a man of immaculate white robes and plain black-rope sandals. ”

"'I know you,' countless fragments exploded in my mind, and although I couldn't put together a complete picture for a while, I realized the identity of this man, 'You appeared in my dreams, you whispered into my ear in the dead of night, you influenced my parents not to kill me or sell me when I was a child—it was you, you who gave me this ability to control the minds of those around me!'"

"'You're right,' the man approached me, put a hand on my shoulder, and I shivered, his hand was colder than ice, and I could feel the chill even through my clothes, and I couldn't help but take a small step back, and the cold hairs on the back of my spine stood on end, 'It seems that you almost remember, but you haven't remembered them all. ’”

As he said this, the blood moon rose from the back of his head and hung at the highest point in the night sky, and the red light hung over the man's body like a robe, so that I could finally see his face. ”

"He has long black hair, pale blue pupils, white and delicate skin, he looks very young, at most a year older than me, his face looks gentle and handsome, in fact, this man is more handsome than anyone I have ever met—of all the humans I have ever met, I am afraid that you are the only one who can match his looks. Isis said this, and suddenly the conversation changed to Sether. The scorched blindness turned to him through her eyelids, as if physical trauma didn't stop her from looking at Seiser's face over and over again with her hallucinatory eyes.

Sether didn't speak, didn't make any gestures in response, he had already guessed who the man Isis had met at the top of the mountain. Perhaps in the past, he would have been happy to be compared to this man, but now, he doesn't think so, he wishes he had nothing to do with this man, and he doesn't like to hear anything about his resemblance to this man, even if it's a compliment.

So Isis continued, "When I saw the man's face clearly, I felt a jolt under my feet, as if I was about to fall. But the anxious feeling of emptiness and powerlessness disappeared in an instant, and I only felt strongly attracted to this man, and besides, he seemed more gentle, more modest, kinder, and more beautiful than anyone I had ever seen, and what reason should I have to refuse such a man?"

"As I looked at him, his clothes became whiter, but they were unusually white, and I still can't describe how to describe them. It only seemed to be white from the feeling of blood seeping into the whiteness - does that sound contradictory and unreasonable? But it's real, I can only describe it. ”

"I can't help but ask again, 'Who the hell are you?'"

"The man looked at me with a faint smile, and I was scared, but I couldn't help but be involuntarily attracted, 'You know who I am, Isis, do you still want to ask me?'"

"His stature grew taller, the blood moon hung high above his head, the stars shining behind him, and a comet streaked across the sky above us. I couldn't help but get down on my knees, trembling with his strength, and I stared at his unfathomable pale blue eyes, as if sunk into the ocean, 'Are you a god?' I asked in a trembling wind. ”

"'I am greater than God. The man answered me in the trembling of the sand and rocks flying from the top of the mountain, and at that moment something glowing white came out from behind him. ”
