"Does anyone have any questions...? Never mind, there are only a few seconds left in the three minutes, so let's end the Q&A session here."

Xia Jie opened the window to see how the wish made by all of humanity would evolve.

Well, strictly speaking, it doesn't actually include all of humanity. Infants, people in a vegetative state, people with intellectual disabilities, people under general anesthesia, and a very few who were sleeping so soundly that even a live broadcast couldn't wake them up, all missed the opportunity to make a wish.

Open the window, and a dense array of wishes transforms into words, intertwining, tearing, and splitting together; those that contradict each other are canceled out, while those that are similar are merged.

One person's wish can only cancel out one opposing wish. For example, "I want to become a god" will cancel out "I wish the world had no gods".

"May there be world peace" will then merge with "May there be no more war and exploitation in the world".

The billions of wishes piled up like a mountain of words are quickly simplified under the above mechanism, like a sponge being gradually squeezed dry.

Because it can only be a grand wish, "making someone rich" and "making someone wealthy for life" will be combined into something like "making everyone have abundant resources."

A few seconds later, the final wish appeared, consisting of less than ten words:

May justice always prevail over evil.

Through the window, countless people participating in the live stream also witnessed their wishes coming true.

Most of them breathed a sigh of relief, while a few felt a bone-chilling cold.

Those who committed unforgivable sins have already died from the burning of the holy flames, but there are still quite a few who survived the burning.

From the moment Jesus descended, they sensed that something terrible was about to happen, and they could only hope that the Holy Son could, as he had been nailed to the cross in the past, settle the score for the many sins committed by mankind once again.

But the content of their current wish has ultimately shattered their last hope.

"I have received your wishes."

Xia Jie reached out and scooped up the ground, and the Great Holy Grail hidden in the underground spiritual vein materialized into a golden cup that quickly shrank and was held steadily in Xia Jie's palm.

"It's up to you, my friend."

Xia Jie looked at the white dove on her shoulder.

"Goo?"

The white dove tilted its head and cooed, its eyes filled with a human-like confusion.

“I think the people here trust you more than I do.”

The white dove nodded, flapped its wings and flew above the Holy Grail. It released its claws, and a delicate olive branch floated down from mid-air, slowly sinking into the extremely rich liquid magic in the cup.

Then the magic transformed into flowing light, which in turn became a pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth, illuminating the sky and the earth until they were transparent.

The buildings on earth, as well as the flesh and bones of people, were also illuminated.

In the light that sees through all things, there are formless and shapeless rules anchored here.

Its title is "Justice always triumphs over evil," and it truly remains unchanged.

Although Yege doesn't like to speak human language, he is impeccable when it comes to doing things.

The only thing Xia Jie couldn't understand was why the great gods, including Ye Ge, who had the ability to save the world, were almost never seen doing anything in person.

Those who are truly active in the world are always beings of the level of "Joan of Arc", "King Solomon" and "the seventy-two demons". Even angels such as "Michael" have never intervened in the mortal world, let alone "Yege" or even "God".

It feels like the truly awesome, top-tier powerhouses in the world have all become mere background figures.

From the perspective of fantasy works, it is indeed understandable not to write about it. Firstly, if the ceiling is set, the story of the main characters cannot unfold normally.

Just like now, once the pigeons come down, the tense and exciting Holy Grail War in the original storyline has turned into a children's game under adult supervision.

Furthermore, aside from Buddhism and Taoism, the deities in large-scale belief systems that are fabricated and arbitrarily created in reality could actually be killed off by believers in real life.

Especially the energetic Middle Eastern guys, they're the real-life assassins with top-notch reputations.

But this is the real world, a real alien world derived from the principles of reality, stripped of so-called real-world factors.

So why are God and the enlightened ones indifferent to human suffering?

Xia Jie chose to ask the person involved directly.

"Friend, if you're so awesome, why did you watch Joan of Arc get burned at the stake?"

"Gurgle~ Gurgle~!"

The white dove cooed calmly twice, and beneath the temporary veneer of humanity, something more essential was revealed.

Xia Jie's eyes gradually sharpened; he understood.

So Xia Jie spoke up:

"Brother, I really have to kick you."

Chapter 175 Man! (A real man!)

The meaning of that "gugu" is both simple and complex. Translated, it means:

"The universe is the love of the Lord, therefore, the Lord does not care."

To put it in more detail, the thunder and rain are both blessings from Heaven.

Happiness is the Lord's love, and so is suffering. As for how earthly life views God's love, God does not care.

Well, it turns out it's still Lover TV. What a roundabout way to go.

Xia Jie's consciousness entered the memory palace and began to look up information about Type-Moon.

Marisbury, the Demon King Goetia, Sesshouin Kiara, Ishtar who was summoned in the Holy Grail War in the Snowfield City, plus the current Lord of the Bible, and even the "Awakened One" Shakyamuni who sees the decline of mankind as a major fluctuation and will not intervene in the rise and fall of mankind.

They're all kings of love, either they love humans to death, or they just love but do nothing.

"How do you define humanity?" and "How do you intend to love humanity?" are such simple questions, so why can't these self-proclaimed gods in the name of love give a normal answer?

They're all jumping from one extreme to another; we're all diodes.

Xia Jie originally thought that using her Root-level power in a low-level game like the Holy Grail War to have fun with Doubao and make candy, instead of saving the world with a single click, was already enough of a slacker.

Looking back now, wow, what does it mean that I'm the one who understands human nature the most?

I'm really out of ideas.

Am I really out of ideas?

Since these weirdos don't appreciate the Hagis at all, I might as well pack them all up and take them with me.

Xia Jie's eyes sharpened, and he saw more reasons why he had to take action from the divine essence of the white dove.

As expected of the "incarnation of the Tao," the white dove's divinity was too pure, so pure that it was inhuman, like the Tao itself. It gave him a sense of transcendence, as if his body and mind were the truth.

Both Tao and Li are cloaked in human skin, but because they have transcended the opposition and balance between humanity and divinity, they are no longer "matter determines consciousness," but rather "consciousness determines matter."

Self comes first, body comes second; instead of matching personality with body, one forces the body to match the self's nature.

Before comprehending this method, Xia Jie's "true self," that is, the "authentic self-awareness," would be protected by space and remain unchanged.

Therefore, Xia Jie, who defines truth by reversing his own perspective, did not undergo "Taoist transformation" in his consciousness, thus transcending human nature.

Now, as the most human-like deity in the Type-Moon universe, Xia Jie did not hesitate for a moment and chose to take drastic action.

'I am the King of Lovers, none of you are.'

With his Root Position fully activated, Xia Jie's pupils deepened, and the Root Vortex from the outer edge of the world was imprinted in his eyes.

"Goo?"

(What are you doing?)

Xia Jie closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them. His irises overflowed with colors beyond human comprehension, and the deep darkness in his pupils transformed into a pure, pale nothingness.

The vortex of origin outside the world disappeared, and in its place, Xia Jie ascended to become the new origin of this world.

"Goo!"

(Are you sure you want to do this? The Lord may not care about the ordinary changes of the mortal world, but if you insist on usurping the sovereignty of the world, the Lord will intervene.)

The sorcerer from the East glanced at the white dove but did not answer.

He raised his hand and gently wiped away the faint mark above his right eye.

That was a slash mark.

The death that should have been able to kill everything and obliterate concepts, reaching straight to the root, failed to penetrate the thin eyelids.

In fact, if Xia Jie hadn't revealed some flaws while suppressing the Vortex of Origin and replacing the new Foundation of All Things, in order to adapt to the world rules that were so different from his own, and if Ryougi Shiki's Origin Personality hadn't successfully seized on those flaws, he wouldn't even have this one scar.

Because he is so strong, strong enough to reject all external interference.

Ryougi Shiki, far away in Kanbushi City, shuddered. The magnificent colors in her eyes were still there, but something more essential had vanished from them.

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception still exist, but they can no longer connect to the Root.

This woman, who was directly connected to the source, was still in the moment of swinging her sword when the source used her hand to unleash a counterattack against Xia Jie. In the next instant, she was kicked off the source's throne by Xia Jie and transformed into an ordinary personality within Ryougi Shiki's body.

Another moment passed, and Ryougi Shiki turned around and fell to the ground.

A few streets away, in an ordinary restaurant, an elderly woman with white hair, dressed in black, wearing a black hat and a black veil, gripped a knife tightly in her hand, tears blurring her vision.

She is the "Mother of Kanbushi City" who possesses "absolute future vision" and can see the future with absolute accuracy.

From childhood to adulthood, she has lived in a cage called "the known".

Without any intelligence, she can know the lives of others with just one glance.

But just over ten minutes ago, when the live stream started, her vision of the future was no longer absolute.

Just now, her "absolute" vision of the future completely failed, and she finally saw the "unknown" and "possibilities" of life.

It was a wonderful yet terrible feeling. It was an experience that others could have from birth, but she didn't get to experience the world like a child until she became an old woman.

"Goo."

(Stop. This is the last time I'm advising you.)

Even if Xia Jie were to act like a tyrannical ancestor in the human world, God would not care.

It can be said that the Lord will not look down on anyone, whether they do good or evil; only a very few individuals like Joan of Arc can receive guidance and divine revelation.

Xia Jie precisely crossed the only standard set by God. He had no respect for God whatsoever, and even reached out to the whole world, wanting to take away all of humanity.

Every second, several parallel worlds are observed by Xia Jie's Eye of Origin, dragged into the vortex of Origin, and disappear from under the nose of God.

The world is like a chessboard; you can place your pieces however you like, and even the gods won't care.
