"This Shaka is really a good guy." Link thought in his mind, and then his thoughts came out, "Shaka, do you know that Saga is no longer the same person as before."
"I know, but so what?"
"So what? You..."
"Although what Saga did was crazy, it was just a mortal's rebellion against the gods. From a mortal's point of view, there was nothing wrong with what he did."
"...Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but that I feel it's meaningless. In the name of Father God, you have brought peace and contentment to many people, but you have also made many people homeless, and have caused many creatures to become extinct. You say that Father God loves all things, but I
I haven’t seen you give equal love to all things. Until now, there are still many people who are hungry and cold, and many people have been exterminated because of your actions. I believe in you, but I don’t agree with what you do. Once you
You and my teacher served as a guiding light for me, but now I realize that what you have done cannot guide my path."
"In other words, you are not going to work for me?"
"If you can't give me a reason to serve you."
Link couldn't help but feel a headache. This Shaka was not only a badass in personality, but also a badass in behavior. He actually had to give a reason before he would help.
Thinking of this, Link said solemnly: "Your teacher Ashmita is now trapped in the maze of the gods. Aren't you going to help her?"
"Although the Labyrinth of the Gods is very powerful, it cannot trap the teacher. The teacher can only stay in it for a year or two at most. And after one or two years, the general trend has been decided. Whether Saga succeeds or fails, it has already happened.
As a result, teachers no longer have to risk their lives to enter the Zodiac."
The implication is that Shaka felt that Ashmita would be safer staying in the Labyrinth of the Gods than continuing on the road. This was also his way of repaying Ashmita for his kindness in educating her.
"...Shaka, I have to say. You are really suitable to be the Virgo Golden Saint. It won't be long before you can surpass your teacher."
"Is that a compliment?"
"You can take it as such." After a pause, Link decided to persuade Shaka with his righteousness, "Shaka, do you know that in more than ten hours, the law of the Holy Position will collapse. By then, the Holy Spirits in the Heavens will collapse.
It will return to the mortal world, which is a huge disaster for mortals. Do you want to watch this happen?"
Shaka replied in a calm tone: "All living beings suffer, and if disaster is unavoidable, death is the greatest grace and kindness to mortals living in suffering."
"...I really want to beat you." Link was extremely dissatisfied with Shaka's words, and suddenly stopped, his tone changed and he said in a majestic tone, "Shaka, I don't know what the artistic conception you have understood is.
, but I want to say that you are still far behind me. What I bear is the hope of all believers, and my principle as a god is to give my believers fair treatment. This is my decision,
This is how you do it, Shaka, since you said you can communicate with heaven and earth. Then I ask you, is there any difference between my divine way and what I do?"
"...You said that you treat all living beings..."
Link interrupted Shaka: "Yes, I said so, and it is also written in the teachings. But the premise is that you must believe in me. Those guys who don't even believe in me, why should I give them God?"
Well, Shaka, would you lend a helping hand to a group of guys you’ve never heard of or seen before?”
"...No, but since you are a god..."
Link interrupted Shaka again: "Yes, just because I am God, that's why I do this. Because God is fair. I also said in my teachings that I am fair, and so are mortals and me.
The existence of equivalent exchange. Believers pay for their faith, and I, as God, give grace in return for their faith. This is the principle of equivalent exchange! I have said this in my capacity as Neil Night, and it is even more so in the teachings.
Everything is explained—is there anything wrong with that?"
"..." Shaka was speechless, because Link did indeed do this.
Yes, fair and equivalent exchange is mentioned in the teachings and has been mentioned repeatedly before.
At first, everyone thought that this was just a rule given by God the Father to mortals, asking believers to live in a fair and just way. But who would have thought that this was also a rule given to him by Link!
Believers contribute their faith to benefit Link, and Link will not win this faith in vain, he will also reward the believers! This is his self-shackles to prevent himself from forgetting his original intention due to the improvement of his strength, and it is also his way to reveal his true identity.
It allows believers to understand his painstaking trump card.
Now, Link is showing his trump card.
Faced with Link's statement, Shaka unconsciously recalled Link's legend and everything about God the Father's religion, and finally said in a respectful tone: "As you said, you are indeed conducting fair transactions with believers. However,
, this seems inconsistent with your identity as a god, right?"
"Then let me ask you, what is God? As the reincarnation of the Holy Spirit, you should know very well what God is, right?"
"..." Shaka was silent.
Link didn't care at all and continued: "Gods are noble and arrogant. Gods don't need to care about the life and death of mortals because they think they are above everything else. Mortals and all living beings are nothing more than ants."
Shaka was silent for a while and said: "Yes, God is such an existence."
The next moment, Link said in a cold voice, "So, they are not worthy of the name of Father God!" After a pause, his voice became more majestic, "So, I am Father God, because I am high and never despise.
All living beings, I grant equal opportunities to all living beings and trade fairly with all living beings in an equal manner. Their faith is exchanged for my favor, their allegiance is exchanged for my blessing, and their dedication is exchanged for my protection of them. These are all consistent with the teachings.
It is the same as what is recorded. At the same time, I also have the majesty of being a god. Those who blaspheme my majesty will be punished in the most severe way. However, while punishing, I also give all living beings the opportunity to atone for their sins. The only problem is
, it just depends on whether they are willing to accept it and whether they can discover this opportunity - Shaka, let me ask you, is there any god in the whole world who is more worthy of the name of Father God than me?"
Shaka was silent again, and after this silence, he put his hands together respectfully and bowed in the air and said: "You are a very special god, but you are also a great god. There are no lies in your words. I am proud of my past."
I apologize for your opinion." After a pause, he added, "However, with my current strength, I can't defeat Saga. His strength has far surpassed that of others. In the Father God's religion today,
Only my teacher Ashmita can be his opponent."
Another meaning of these words is that Shaka is willing to be loyal to Link. Although he did not say it explicitly, the respect and expression in his tone represented his loyalty.
Link knows this, and he also understands that Ishaga's current strength can still match Saga. The strongest golden saint is not just a boast. Saga is now a man with the title of God's Incarnation, the only one who can rival Saga.
, there is only Ashmita who is closest to God.
At that moment, Link said: "Don't worry, I didn't expect you to be able to knock Shaka down. I just need you to help me bring Ashmita out of the labyrinth of the gods."
Shaka heard the words and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that I do not have that kind of power. Although I can establish contact with the teacher through the small universe of the Virgo Golden Saint, there is nothing I can do to bring the teacher back."
"I know, so I will help. You just need to establish contact with Ashmita. Your Majesty. I will do it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." At that moment, Shaka began to burn the small universe. It resonated with the Virgo Golden Saint Cloth, and the Virgo Golden Saint Cloth also exuded powerful power.
This power traveled through time and space and reached the labyrinth of gods hidden in another dimension, and Ashmita felt this power.
"This is... the Golden Saint Cloth of Virgo? Is it Shaka?" Ashmita was startled, and immediately burned the small universe, trying to establish contact with the power passed on.
It's just that the two sides are separated by two dimensions, so it's not that easy to succeed. They failed several times before.
After the connection was successfully established, Shaka's voice immediately reached Ashmita's mind: "Teacher, are you okay?"
"Saga, it's really you." Ashmita was extremely surprised, and then said, "Aren't you the Virgo Golden Saint that Saga has conferred? What do you want from me?"
For this disciple, Ashmita's emotions were quite complicated. On the one hand, she was happy for Shaka's growth, but on the other hand, she was also troubled by the fact that Shaka had accepted Saka's reward. She hadn't seen him for several years, although she had been with him from time to time.
This disciple communicated with his thoughts, but he could no longer see through him more and more.
In terms of understanding of the principles of heaven and earth, Shakya, the reincarnation of the Holy Spirit, has surpassed Ashmita. Also a Virgo Golden Saint, Ashmita knows very well that the deeper the understanding of the principles of heaven and earth, the more difficult it will be for him.
It's hard to fathom.
In fact, if Ashmita had not been obsessed with Link in her heart, she would have surpassed everyone in her understanding of the principles of heaven and earth, even Shaka could not compare with her.
Faced with Ashmita's question, Shakya said slowly: "Teacher, I have communicated with His Majesty the Father, and I have decided to be loyal to His Majesty."
"Father God? Can you communicate with Father God?" Ashmita was surprised. Even she could not do such a thing.
"It's not that I can, but His Majesty took the initiative to communicate with me. After communicating with him, I realized that my previous understanding of His Majesty was too superficial. At the same time, I also understood that compared to other gods, he is indeed unique.
He is the only one worthy of the name of God the Father." Shaka made no secret of his admiration for Link, and said at the end, "Teacher, His Majesty the Father is the Great Pope, and Neil-Ye
His identity is the mortal incarnation of His Majesty."
"His Majesty Neil...is God the Father?" This information was tantamount to a nuclear explosion for Ashmida, and she was stunned. After a while, she regained her composure and said with a sudden realization
He murmured, "So that's it, that's it. The unanswerable information I learned from communicating with Heaven and Earth before, is this what it turns out to be?"
As another person who can communicate with heaven and earth, Ashmita naturally also received a lot of information from heaven and earth. However, due to obsession in his heart, he was unable to understand the meaning, so he could not guess the truth like Shaka.
Now I know that Ashmita's thoughts have become very complicated, but in the end they turned into relief and relaxation: "If this is the case, then I can finally let go of the burden in my heart."
As soon as the words came to light, Ashmita's faith level finally changed from a high-level believer to a godly believer like other golden saints. (To be continued...)
