Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Only when one side completely devours the other can monism be reaffirmed and causality locked in.

If we say that the original purpose was to observe human history through mythology and to influence human history through mythology, then that was what God did before.

Now the situation has been reversed.

Human history also observes mythological history, because two gods would lead human history to deny that God created the world first and that Jesus Christ became God later.

Reversing the order of events can also make the original text biased towards humanity, that is, the gods created by humans, and human history creates mythology.

This process is fraught with paradoxes and contradictions; if one doesn't handle it well—even a god could ruin himself.

But I don't care about the night.

Whether human or god, it can be him.

He will not be affected by being confined to any particular identity.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, there once lived a poor man named Peter, who has now finally awakened.

But this time, his memories did not return as the world was reshaped.

His soul was still held in the hands of the night, and thus he knew what time it was.

Next, Jesus Christ will find Himself according to destiny.

So that's the day.

When he was still poor and struggling to make ends meet with his wife, so poor that he had to steal vegetables from the garden, he unexpectedly encountered Christ. After being taught a lesson by Christ, he was taken in as a follower and gradually became a disciple. This was the beginning of everything!

At that moment, he felt a new strength.

That is the person chosen by God to be a fellow traveler on the path to Godhood of 'Christ'. After his ascension, he becomes the power of St. Peter—the disciple.

Then--

After explaining things to his wife in this timeline and giving her some money, Saint Peter left and went straight to find Night.

So, when the man, using the alias 'Christ,' returned to the place where he was supposed to meet Saint Peter and staked out the location again...

Every time, he would wait for Peter at the same spot, at the entrance on the road leading to the vegetable garden.

When Peter goes to steal vegetables, he can teach the other party a lesson and then take him as a follower.

However—on this day, Christ, who had closed himself off from God's omniscient and omnipotent perspective in order to complete his fateful trial, and was even unaware that he was still in danger, waited in vain all day long, until the sun set and rose again, but he still did not see the presence of Saint Peter.

Christ:???!

Where is Peter?!

Where is my Peter, who is so big?

When the world was restored, did they not restore Peter to me?

Christ frowned—!

He couldn't sit still any longer; a sense of foreboding was creeping into his heart.

The cycle has started the same way countless times, so there's no reason why this time should be different.

Any subtle butterfly effect shift, after the battle with the night, became sensitive to this god.

So Christ went directly to St. Peter's house, only to learn from his wife that St. Peter had left a day earlier and no one knew where he had gone, saying he was going on a long trip!

'Oops! ’

Although he couldn't be sure if this matter was related to his bro, Christ still felt uneasy.

He hurried off to find his other disciple.

In mythology, he appointed his two most important disciples: the first disciple, Saint Peter, and the least important disciple, Saint John.

It doesn't matter whether the other disciples can be found or not, but these two are essential.

Then Christ found St. John and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, neither Christ nor St. John at this moment knew that John had already been replaced by Night.

The souls of Saint Joseph, Saint Peter, Saint John, and the Virgin Mary were all in the hands of the Night, and when they returned to the world, they were all released.

Because of the protection of the night, St. Peter's memories and power were at their peak, while St. John and others were only thrown back as empty shells. The new personas and powers they gained after their descent were immediately assimilated by the night.

To avoid alerting the enemy, this time we didn't trigger anything, allowing Christ to discover it.

And what about Saint Peter, who should have been walking alongside God at this time?

Long before God wasted a day searching for St. John, the night and St. Peter had already begun to complete the forging of the 'myth,' starting the journey of God and his disciples ahead of time, teaching them how to fish along the way.

That's right—it's about teaching someone how to fish.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Originally, after Christ taught St. Peter, he would have shared a similar story with St. Ruskin, teaching St. Peter to be honest and kind while also openly fishing and lodging wherever he went.

Christ rewards those who help him, but punishes those who offend him.

What does it mean to offend someone?

To give a simple example from one of the stories, one family encountered Christ and Peter, two homeless people, but the other family refused to take them in. The family that took them in received a great reward from Christ.

After the family heard this, they became very hospitable the next time they encountered Christ and his companions.

Although even dogs don't want belated kindness, the three Christians accepted it without hesitation, but then tricked the other party when they left.

A spell was cast that allowed the other person to do whatever they wanted all day. A woman who originally wanted to work all day to weave a large amount of cloth to make money ended up defecating all day due to the spell.

There's a saying that goes, "A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions." Regardless of the circumstances, Christ accepted the family's kindness but ultimately rewarded them with punishment.

Night: "I have to say—when God gets petty, nobody gets involved."

St. Peter could not refute: "…………"

That night, as St. Peter and Christ traveled ahead of them, they found themselves talking about Peter and Christ's past experiences traveling together.

This time, however, Night and St. Peter encountered the family ahead of time.

However, instead of giving them a reward, he taught them better skills and how to make money on their own.

Even the family that followed suit was rewarded without hesitation.

No, the main point is that this time when Ye and Saint Peter were traveling together, Ye did not follow the example of Christ and others by deliberately making himself look slovenly and like a vagrant.

This led to both families being willing to take them in from the start.

St. Peter, experiencing this treatment so different from what he had been treated before, fell into silence and reflection for a moment.

'What went wrong?'

Why is this time different from the last one?

Chapter Fifty: The Charm of a Mysterious Eastern Sage – Rewards Lead to More Good Deeds

Later, St. Peter couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him. He tried to tell the Lord about the vulgar nature of the family when he and God had encountered them.

Why would the Lord (Night) be willing to reward such a person?

That family probably only pretended to be like that because they saw how well-dressed they were and thought they could profit from it!

That's right——!

St. Peter figured out the biggest difference (reason) between the two.

however--

The night remains just one sentence, the saying "A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions," which shuts it all down.

Night calmly asked, "Regardless of this family's past, when you sought their help and received kindness in return, nothing else matters. As I've told you before—"

A person cannot be completely defined simply by good or evil, black or white.

The world is not simply black and white, good and evil.

Even the most heinous person might choose to do a good deed out of a moment of conscience.

Even kind people can make mistakes due to momentary selfishness and fall into darkness.

The issue isn't about this family, but about the ultimate consequences of the actions of the gods who guide humanity forward.

Just like what they are doing, they are trying to imbue every footprint with a touch of kindness and spread that kindness.

Night: "What can drive people towards good is not only kindness and justice, but also tangible benefits—"

Saint Peter: ...!

How can genuine kindness be linked to self-interest?

But Ye gave another example: how they rewarded others for cleaning up their messes.

If true kindness should not be tied to self-interest, and true goodness should be selfless, then isn't the gift you bestow an insult to goodness?

The sinking of St. Peter: ...

Wow, that makes a lot of sense!

It's okay to reward people who do good deeds.

It is precisely because of the rewards that more and more people are willing to do good deeds.

Night told him a story from the distant East, a tale from human history.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Lu had a law that stipulated that if any Lu citizen was captured and enslaved by another state, someone who was willing to pay money to redeem them could receive a reward from the government.

There was a sage named Confucius over there. One of Confucius's students, Zigong, was very wealthy. He ransomed people who had been captured and brought them back to the State of Lu, but refused to accept the reward.

Although he did good deeds without expecting anything in return, Confucius later said that he had done wrong.

Night told St. Peter that unlike ordinary people, a saint, whatever he does, must consider improving customs; he can only do things by teaching and guiding people to be good.

In the state of Lu, there are few wealthy people and many poor people; if accepting a reward is considered greed, then those who are unwilling to bear the stigma of greed and those who do not have much money will not go to redeem people.

If that's the case, then after that, I'm afraid no one will ever again go to the feudal lords to redeem people.

And both are about saving lives.

Another disciple of Confucius, Zilu, saw a man fall into the water and rescued him. The man thanked him with an ox, which Zilu accepted, earning him praise from Confucius.

From a worldly perspective, it was good that Zigong refused the reward, but bad that Zilu accepted the ox. However, when a person does good deeds, they should not only consider the immediate effect, but also whether it can be passed down and emulated by others.
