0200 Chapter Four: The End of the Ordinary (Section 71)
In the endless Sahara Desert, a group of people in white, wearing turbans and heavy sandproof clothing, sit on camels.
In front of them, on a vertical rock that was at least five or six stories high, an old man and a young man sat side by side, looking at the sky that was rapidly spreading, pressing into the darkness in front of them, looking at the darkness that was deeper than the skin on their bodies.
color.
"Master, is the world really going to end today?"
"Yes."
"There's nothing we can do? Even you can't do anything?"
"No."
"But didn't you just send out all your family's troops to help the man from heaven?"
"This is the mission of our Severnite family. Since ancient times, we have served all the alien gods who have descended on the earth and provided services to them in exchange for strength and peace.
If you think that the adult will come to the rescue because of our efforts, that is really too much and disrespectful.
Severnte serves all the outside entities that come here and also conducts transactions with them. She has already paid equivalent rewards for our help during this period, including this all-out war.
The end of the world is not caused by her, not to mention that even if she is willing to destroy this world, we mortals have no right to complain.
What's more, she has been extra gracious and taken away several of your senior sisters and sisters and sent them to a broader world. My heart is filled with gratitude."
Facing the old man's calmness, the young man was full of dissatisfaction: "But I also want to live and see a wider world..."
When the old man heard this, he was not angry. He just smiled and caressed the young man's head: "Yes, your talent and resilience are the strongest in this generation, second only to the departed Ai Logansi. You are a born killer.
with leaders.
Let me tell you, I really should give you a chance to live, and I want to see how far you can go. So although I can't see your future achievements, I can still give you such an opportunity as a teacher.
"
As he spoke, the old man took off the curved-edged sword from his back and handed it to the young man:
"Integrate with the darkness and don't try to find light in the darkness. With the inheritance of our family, you have the most basic qualifications to live. As for whether you can do it and how long you can live, it depends on you.
It's up to you.
The Severnt family has never been a family built by blood. We are connected by inheritance. But before you are my disciple, you are my son first.
From now on, Severant is no longer a big family in the world of Dali, but the name of a person, just like the moment this legend began.
Publicly and privately, you should fight your way out of the darkness in the name of Severnte and pass on this name!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the border of darkness swallowed up the two of them and continued to spread further.
After a while, several bright searchlights came from the direction of the camel caravan, illuminating the top of the boulder.
The old man's expression changed slightly, then showed a look of pain, and his whole body twisted like a boneless snake.
The young man raised his knife and cut off his father's head with one knife. Then he cut the master's body into two sections from top to bottom with two knives without any hesitation.
His eyes burst out with golden-red light, and he slashed repeatedly in the air, as if he was engaged in a desperate fight with something that ordinary people could not see.
At the same time, as the sworn enemy of the Severnt family, the Holy Land of the Society of the Past was also filled with gloom and gloom.
A group of believers knelt down around the five-meter-high marble goddess statue in the center of the church, crying, trembling, and praying.
The goddess statue in the center of the hall is quite unique. She wears a hood that completely covers her face, her robe reaches the floor, and she has a giant scythe leaning on her shoulder.
Except for the obviously feminine body lines, no matter how you look at it, it is quite similar to the God of Death in Western legends.
Most of the religious beliefs in the world have nothing to do with the real transcendence. The reason why they are popular is not only due to some conflicts of interests and ideologies behind them, but also because mortals always need some sustenance to carry the burden that they are unwilling to bear.
For this reason, many mainstream sects in the West that believe in abstract symbols often accuse niche belief groups such as the Society of the Past that they are just fabricating some false gods using images from myths and legends to deceive the world.
But today, they all died in front of the holy symbols or totems of their faith, turning into twisted, squirming, filthy things that lost consciousness.
On the contrary, the core believers of the Society of the Past are all safe and sound. And their statue of the goddess is shedding two lines of black tears from her eyes.
Some believers looked up and saw it, and were immediately stunned. But what made them even crazier was yet to come. The statue of the goddess on the altar... came to life.
The reason why Severant could not completely destroy the Society of the Past is because they believed in a true God! On the day of the end of the world, she came to the world.
"Save us!" "Oh my God! I have witnessed a miracle!"... Such shouts came and went, until the high priest raised his scepter high, and all the believers knelt down quietly to listen to the goddess's teachings.
The stone statue stepped away from the altar and walked straight to the entrance of the temple, leaving a shadow behind for the believers.
When she took the first step, she had already lost the color and texture of marble, and became like a living, huge woman.
Just the first words spoken by the goddess made everyone fall into the deepest despair: "This world is over."
"No! Save us!" "I am willing to give everything, please save my child!" "I don't care, as long as you can"... The messy prayers were mixed with madness and crying, and they became a mess again.
The goddess ignored the noise and spoke silently again, and her voice directly echoed in the minds of every mortal in the hall:
"Unfortunately, I am just the lowest level world god. I rely on your faith and cannot survive alone on this planet.
I am destined to perish now, but at least I can leave a piece of land for you and others. I will give the Kingdom of God to this land, with a radius of thousands of graves, to ensure peace and prosperity forever.
As long as you are here, everything will be the same as before. But if you leave, you must not pursue the light. Remember, remember..."
Before the last sentence was finished, the goddess's body had turned into a mist as pale as corpse skin and bones, slowly spreading and spreading over a radius of nearly two kilometers from the center of the temple.
When the devout believers listened to the last teachings of their gods and looked up, the goddess herself and the marble idol disappeared without a trace.
Those mortals who just moments ago were shouting at the heavens and fighting for the earth, making a mess, showing all kinds of human nature in desperate situations, now they can only cry silently.
