Chapter 691 Becoming the Savior

Eden stayed in this lecture hall day after day like a condemned man waiting for orders.

These days were so difficult that Eden emptied his mind and spent it in a hazy state.

"I... almost forgot why I came here."

Lying on the bed, Eden touched the stone pendant and muttered to himself.

He came here to stop the Great Miracle and eliminate the Ghost King, but now, these things no longer seem so important.

For me now, what really matters is...

What do you want, my King of Kings?

"What exactly do you want to do?"

After a while, Eden asked himself:

"Judgment."

When the end comes, Azabel will go to the end of the sky and ocean together with God's messenger to fight God's great enemy.

Eden felt incredibly confused.

Since he is both a messenger and an enemy, how should the decisive battle take place?

Are you beating yourself up?

Eden couldn't understand.

Boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door, and then a boy walked in holding a water bag and food.

"It's you."

Eden sat up, touched the child's head, and took the water bag and food from his hand.

These days, this child delivers three meals a day.

Because of this, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Eden slowly enjoyed the food. While eating, he asked about the current situation of the true believers.

"The situation is not very good... Now we stupid people are trying not to go out and find a place to hide. Some people will flee directly out of the city, but most people are not willing to leave their homes. Anyway... they may not It’s your turn to suffer.”

The boy explained,

"Those extreme people are still relatively few after all."

It seems that the true believers here are all taking chances.

Eden reasoned in his mind.

"So...what does your mother think?"

After hearing this, the boy raised a smile and replied:

"My mother thinks so too, and she is now the cook at the Lecture Hall. If anything happens, she can just hide in the Lecture Hall."

Eden thought for a moment, and then asked:

"So, how did your mother come to the Lecture School?"

The boy immediately replied:

"My mother was once a slave girl of a wealthy family. She was very favored by the owner of the family, but when she got old, she was disliked.

At this time, my mother met my father and gave birth to me, which made the owner of the family furious... After he executed my father, he was about to execute my mother. At this time, my mother took Then I fled to the lecture hall and was protected by the chief priest. "

After listening, Eden continued to ask:

"Hasn't your mother ever thought of converting?"

The boy hesitated for a moment before replying:

"She also wanted to convert and didn't want us to be slaves anymore, but... we were rejected. The officiant said that we weren't ready yet and didn't know their teachings... However, I saw that many of them also I don’t understand either.”

The boy's words fell into Eden's ears, and he knew immediately that these were just words used by the officiant to refuse.

"I'll ask for you."

After hesitating, Eden spoke with some difficulty.

When the boy heard this, his eyes lit up. He immediately knelt down and praised Eden with the pagan scriptures that he had heard. At the end, he said excitedly:

“I know that you are righteous in the Scripture.”

.......................................

.......................................

When night fell, the four holy servants finally came to visit Iden.

This was their first visit since they recognized Eden as their emissary.

As for the reason, there is no other reason than it is because of Eden's complicated identity.

After the four holy servants learned that Iden was both a messenger and an enemy, they hurriedly sent a letter to the Temple of Kings and informed the chief priest and Azabel of the matter. They did not dare to contact Iden until the reply came.

In front of the altar of the Lecture Hall, Eden faced the four holy servants and slowly said:

"What...reply did you get?"

To be fair, his impression of these holy servants was not bad.

The holy servants are not people who are greedy for pleasure, let alone those who seek pleasure. They dress simply, eat simple food, and live the life of ascetic monks. Compared with the high-ranking holy servants, they are more like individuals. Ordinary old man and woman.

"The King of Kings has spoken to us... Messenger, you still have doubts, you still have doubts. Don't you still know Him?"

After exchanging glances, Endor, the eldest of the servants, asked bluntly.

This old man showed kindness and kindness even in his wrinkles. Eden had heard many rumors about him and the poor from the deacons. Although the holy servants all paid more or less attention to the poor, none of them cared as much as he did.

Facing Endor's gentle question, Iden said slowly:

“Not only do I not know Him, I don’t accept Him.”

As soon as these words came out, the chief priest and deputy priest who were listening were shocked. They all trembled in panic, as if they didn't know what to do.

Compared to them, the holy servants who had anticipated this were much calmer.

"We all believe that our king has anticipated this and made arrangements for it."

Endo glanced at the chief priest and deputy priest, and slowly lectured:

"He already has the authority over all heaven and earth. Why are you so panicked? Do you not have full faith in God?"

Upon hearing this, the chief priest and deputy priest immediately lowered their heads, their lips moved, and they recited scriptures quickly like trying to fix a problem.

After teaching them a lesson, Endor turned his attention back to Iden.

“O Messenger of the Book, you did not know him, but he knew you; you did not accept him, but he accepted you.

We always call the true believers stupid. In fact, we are also stupid. It’s just that the true believers are arrogant, but we understand the truth.

O Messenger of the Book, the King of kings has spoken to us, He has enlightened us, but you have not allowed Him to open your eyes. Therefore, He has told us through the mouth of Azabel that you...seem to be alien to this world. Want something? "

Endor talked for a long time before finally getting to the point.

Eden narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew very well that he could not hide anything from the King of Kings, so he guessed that Endor might know the prophecy he believed in.

"What I ask for is...a savior."

Eden paused and said slowly:

"He did not come to destroy sin."

The chief priest and the deputy priest looked at each other. They were a little confused and couldn't figure out who the savior Eden was talking about was. Is he the king of kings? Yes, besides Him, which god can be the savior?

However, listening to his tone, it seemed that was not the case.

The eldest holy servant was slightly stunned. He looked at Iden with a gentle look, and then said slowly:

"Is that why you don't accept the King of Kings?"

Eden nodded without hesitation.

To this day, I have to admit that the pagan ideas of believing in the King of Kings have a lot in common with my own ideas.    However, the biggest disagreement remains unresolved.

"There are righteous people and evil people in the world. This world is full of evil. The coming of the end is to eliminate the evil people and allow the righteous to gain eternity. His power is like a doctor, removing the dead flesh from our bodies."

The female holy servant couldn't help but said.

"If the dead flesh is removed but the wound is enlarged, the person will die in the same way."

Eden retorted.

Another holy servant then spoke:

"Should we let the dead flesh ooze pus?"

Eden said with some difficulty:

"I would rather let the dead flesh ooze pus."

If it were my former self, I would definitely answer: The Lord has better medical skills.

But now, I have lost the confidence to answer like that.

After receiving Iden's answer, the holy servants glanced at each other and then turned away. They knelt down towards the gate of the Kingdom of Heaven and clasped their hands together, as if begging for some revelation.

Eden raised his eyes and looked at the religious painting. He vaguely saw a figure appearing in front of the door. After blinking, the scene disappeared like snowflakes melting.

In the unnoticed corner, the priest shuddered.

After a moment, the holy servants all turned around, and the leading holy servant Endo waved his hand, signaling for the chief priest and deputy priest to leave.

The two people didn't waste any time, and their figures quickly disappeared into the hall.

Endor, the eldest holy servant, looked directly at Iden, and then said in a respectful tone:

"We have asked God."

Eden was a little nervous.

"Whatever you ask for will be granted to you."

I saw another holy servant speaking word by word.

Eden was a little surprised,

"You mean..."

At this time, I saw Holy Servant Endo slowly speaking:

"O Messenger of the Scripture, don't you want to know how to destroy the king of ghosts?"

An invisible wind seemed to pass by Eden, and the priest's nerves instantly became tense. His pupils shrank, and what he felt in his heart was not joy, but vigilance.

Why is that?

Are you planning to use your favor to corrupt me and convince me? Is it hard to be soft?

Eden really wanted to know how to get rid of the Ghost King, which was one of the purposes of his determination to travel to the future.

But now, like pie in the sky, these holy servants actually planned to tell him the way to eliminate the Ghost King.

"Why...why did He do this?"

There was no use hiding it, so Eden decided to ask directly.

"How can we understand God's meaning? Can man measure the vastness of the starry sky by himself? Can man measure the depth of the sea by himself?"

Holy Servant Enduo first asked rhetorically, and then said slowly in a pious tone:

“For this reason, let us act in accordance with the Word of God.”

After hearing this, Iden immediately understood that these holy servants did not know the intention of the King of Kings. Maybe they were also confused in their hearts.

If you continue to ask them, nothing will come out. It is better to ask for a solution quickly and make some insinuations.

Eden thought to himself.

So, he asked:

"What is He going to do?"

Holy Servant Endo replied slowly:

“Are you asking how God will accomplish what you ask for?

These things have long been revealed in the scriptures.

He is the King of kings, the successor of the kingdom of heaven, the controller of destiny, the God of all heaven and earth, and even more so, the God of history. "

On the last "god of history", Endor emphasized the phonetic notation.

"The God of History... This seems to be able to explain the origin of this stone pendant, and it can also explain the appearance of my king in the past time and space. Being able to influence history means affecting the future..."

Of course, Eden knows that the role of the King of Kings on history is not just as simple as "influence", but "change".

"But... how did the King of Kings get the power to change history? Is he the God of history? But doesn't the ancient scripture of the King of Gods say that no gods have ever been born in the stars of history?"

Thousands of doubts suddenly arose in Eden's heart. He felt that he was gradually getting closer to the answer, but every time he took a step forward, he would encounter countless confusions and obstacles.

Wait... The stars in history have never given birth to gods...

And in the religious paintings of the Prophet's Abyss, the King of Kings appears in the form of an angel.

Could it be that...about the divine creation path of "history"? !

At this moment, as if it had been arranged long ago, as if the destiny had been finalized, Holy Servant Endor spoke at just this moment,

"He will give you the power of history."

Eden suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes, and stared at the painting of the Gate of Heaven behind the altar.

"He will make you the...savior you hoped for."

..............................

Eden's whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Slowly, he turned his head and asked in an unbelievable voice:

"what are you saying?"

Saint Servant Enduo asked rhetorically:

"Why, messenger, don't you want to be the savior?"

Eden suddenly fell silent.

Become the savior….

Since I don’t know how long, I, who hates sin, have been hoping for the coming of the savior, because sin is corroding people in this world and pushing people into the grave.

I believed in that prophecy without hesitation and defended it. Even if I was judged as a heretic and criticized by thousands of people, I never let go of it.

At that time, I even had the courage to say, "Being a martyr is not difficult, but to be a martyr despised by all people, you need a savior."

I am not afraid of sacrifice for this prophecy.

Because I hope for the arrival of the savior, just as God saved the world thousands of years ago when the doomsday came.

And now...

What the holy servant said did not go against his own expectations.

On the contrary, that not only does not violate it, but also conforms to my own expectations. As long as I become the savior, the savior has arrived now!

The words of the Holy Servant seem to have bridged all the divisions between myself and the King of Kings...

In a daze, Eden couldn't help but feel a heaviness, something on his back. Looking back, he found that it was his old faith. The latter seemed to be looking at him silently, as if he didn't intend to do anything. , just looking at him.

Eden trembled, feeling that he could not refuse these words.

This reminds me of that sentence:

What can really destroy faith is not persecution, but temptation.

Just like.

Under the cloud of death, King Zapo established a new god, a god who could give eternal life.
