Chapter 133 Changes and Memories

Speaking of his son, the old man couldn't help but fall into memories.

In fact, he was not alone before.

He had lived in this place for many years in the old days, before the great gods and the church came.

At that time, this place was still ruled by one country.

People were experiencing the industrial revolution of electrification, and everything was thriving.

He was just a young guy at that time.

I had just graduated from school and married a woman who was not very pretty but was able to manage the household frugally as my partner - oh no, I should say my wife.

And in the second year of their marriage, they gave birth to a boy.

The old man still remembers how excited he was at that time.

Later, he started working.

First I did an internship, and then I officially started working, repairing cars.

This job has nothing to do with elegance or high-end, but at least it allows him to earn a living and support his family.

Therefore, he did not mind it and even enjoyed it.

It's a pity that he didn't get to work for a few more years.

People from the church came.

No one knows how they appeared.

Although they are aliens, we didn’t see any spaceships or anything like that. Moreover, they look almost the same as humans, and even call themselves human beings.

As for the laser cannons, flying saucers and other things shown in the movies, I didn't see any of them.

Instead, we saw some creatures that seemed to have come out of myths and legends.

For example, there are huge dragons with sharp claws and fangs, knights wearing armor that emits warm light, and priests holding scriptures in their hands and reciting doctrines and prayers.

In short, those people from the church seemed to have fallen from the sky.

Appearing before people with all kinds of miraculous powers.

From that time on, no one cared about science or industry anymore.

Science? Can science explain why knights can chop out long swords made of holy light? Can science explain why dragons can spit out fireballs, electric balls, and venom?
Not to mention explaining, even those things that people call extraordinary, even if they are slightly closer to scientific equipment.

This will make the precious scientific instruments that were once regarded as treasures completely scrapped.

It is not physically destroyed, but it is completely impossible to detect any valuable information.

He heard from the experts that some extraordinary force had distorted the rules, making the rules originally discovered by scientists invalid.

And the church will continue to change the rules of their world in the future so that people can live a better life.

Therefore, the world in the future will be an extraordinary world.

Everyone can fly and do anything.

But before that, he lost his job.

The reason is simple. No one will continue driving, so naturally no one needs to repair the car.

He lost his job before he could enjoy the good days that the church people talked about.

Not only was he unemployed, but even his original country no longer existed.

Because people in the church said that those countries were exploiting them and using their surplus production to seek private benefits for the rulers.

So they held high the banner of God and used powerful military force to directly dissolve all previous governments.

And rebuild the world bit by bit.

……

After that, he could only do some harder and less profitable work.

But the old officials were no longer seen. Instead, pastors began to preach the "God's Gospel" from door to door.

Although some pastors seem to be former officials who have transformed themselves into officials.

He didn't believe it at first, but later he believed it a little.

Anyway, believing in God doesn’t cost money, and if people say it’s useful, then he will believe it.

I didn't expect that this god was really so powerful.

His life has indeed become better since he started praying every day.

The church gave him a lot of subsidies, and he also received some wages from doing work for others.

Although life is a bit tiring, at least I can still go on.

So a few more years passed, and his son grew up slowly.

He got married and she gave birth to a grandson and a granddaughter for him.

Others say that raising children is a way to provide for one’s old age, and he thinks so too.

Therefore, he cares a lot about both his sons and grandchildren.

It just didn't last long.

It seems like something happened in the church. I heard that there seemed to be some disaster?
His son was "persuaded" to leave by people from the church.

They said that he should devote his strength to God and that it would be very safe and he would be back in a few years.

But until today, the old man has never seen his son, nor has he received any news about his son.

He wanted to ask someone, but there was no way.

I want to ask someone in the church. They said his son has gone to another world.

It is not the kingdom of God, but another world in the true sense, just like the world he is in now.

But why didn’t my son bring back any news?
After returning home, the old man kept sighing for a while.

In fact, he had a premonition a long time ago, but he just didn't want to believe it.

To this day, he still holds on to the hope that his son will appear before him one day.

……

Let’s go back to what happened back then.

Although he lost his son, at least his grandchildren are still here.

Because the young and strong labor force in the family has left, the old man has to work harder at odd jobs and try to make the most of every minute and every second of his time.

Then one day, the daughter-in-law couldn't stand it anymore and ran away with someone else.

The old man could only raise his grandchildren alone and work hard to bring them up.

I don’t know why, but the church organized a “sacrifice”.

According to the people in the church, the purpose of "Divine Sacrifice" is to allow the power of God to descend upon this world, thereby eliminating the suffering in this world and allowing everyone to enjoy happiness.

Therefore, in this process, it is inevitable to pay some price and make necessary sacrifices.

In fact, if the old man read more books, he would know.

Those who often say that it is necessary to pay a price are often not the ones who pay the price.

Even though people know this truth, they cannot escape the current situation.

In short, his grandson and granddaughter were chosen in that "divine sacrifice".

That was the only time he met a bishop-level figure—of course, in a meeting.

The bishop said that these "voluntary believers" who dedicated themselves to God and the people would enter the kingdom of God in the future and enjoy endless happiness and beauty.

The families of believers will also receive a lot of care from the church.
