"Greetings to the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin naturally disdained these people's kowtows. If he really cared about the throne, then with his prestige, he could have established a dynasty that would last for a thousand years in China.

The reason why he didn't do so was that he valued Shenzhou too much and valued the people of this land. He didn't want the people here to always rely on the emperor, he hoped that everyone in Shenzhou could be like a dragon.

Moreover, he was confronting Judas at this time, and he had no time to get involved with the Shenzhou Dao Sect. After Judas saw his followers being slaughtered by Li Shimin, the seven-color halo on his head shone brightly, the black monastic robes on his body fluttered, and the blood in his eyes mixed with anger rushed straight towards Li Shimin.

In a rage, Judas stretched out his right hand, pointed at Li Shimin opposite him and said:

"die!"

Ancient Latin words came out of his mouth, and under the blessing of the Seven Lights, strange magic burst out. Li Shimin suddenly felt that his heart stopped beating, and the cells in his body began to die uncontrollably.

This is the manifestation of Judas’ omniscience and omnipotence under the blessing of the seven lights.

Whatever he says will become true, and whatever he thinks will come true in the future.

This is the most powerful blood magic in the world, and the words come true!

No matter what the words are, once they are spoken, they become destiny, a predestined fact!

It cannot be changed, it is bound to happen!

Even a master of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's level would die after hearing these words.

But Li Shimin did not die.

Even though Judas burned the blood in his body and determined Li Shimin's fate of death by his words, and even though every cell and every organ in Li Shimin's body was inevitably heading towards decay and death, Li Shimin did not die after all.

Because Li Shimin is not a human, but an immortal!

An immortal who transcends the Three Realms and is not bound by the Five Elements!

Even though Judas was omniscient and omnipotent, his abilities could not cause much harm to Li Shimin. The Five Emperors City appeared above Li Shimin's head, and rays of starlight rose from the sea, covering Li Shimin's entire body.

Under the protection of the starlight, this world around Li Shimin is his own. All the rules are dominated by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin is invulnerable to all laws and evil spirits. Even if the law is followed by words, it cannot hurt Li Shimin at all.

After the Five Emperors City appeared, the stars surged in front of Li Shimin, and a long river of destiny from the past to the future emerged. This was a symbol of Li Shimin's thousand years of cultivation, and his deduction of countless possibilities of the past and the future. With the help of the reflection of the river, Li Shimin easily deduced the fate of Judas.

I watched Judas start out as a commoner serving God, I saw him betray God for a bag of gold coins, and then I saw him hang himself because of guilt, and then he chose to become a vampire in the darkness when the church was in danger.

In the following time, he ate people for the church and killed people for the church. The whole meaning of his existence was to atone for his sins, to fight for the god he believed in most, and to spread the glory of the church to the whole world.

Seeing that Judas was becoming more and more obsessed with believing in God, Li Shimin shook his head and said:

"There are no gods in this world!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Judas, who was in the long river of fate, raised his head.

Not only the past, present, but also the future Judas raised their heads.

Some of these Judas were hungry and cold civilians, some were honest believers, some were greedy and despicable rebels, and some were brilliant angels... Judas of different forms and appearances showed the same look at this moment. The same as them were the Judas in reality.

He was seen standing proudly at the bow, protecting the apostles around him, and said firmly:

"God is always here."

No rebuttal, no excuse, no persuasion.

It was just a few words, but it revealed Judas's firm belief in God.

God has always been there, God exists!

Even if there is no logic or evidence, believers still choose to believe, because this is what believers of God are.

It has always been unreasonable and naturally does not need to be justified.

Li Shimin had anticipated this. He used words to question Judas, and speculated about the past and the future, just to shake his confidence and find an opportunity to defeat him. Seeing Judas so determined, Li Shimin said:

"Do you know what the nature of this world is?"

Judas said nothing. The long river of fate in front of Li Shimin kept surging, with endless time and space, infinite worlds constantly flashing and disappearing.

"The essence of this world is the long river of destiny, or as the future says, it is called the sea of ​​quantum!"

"The Quantum Sea?" Rudas murmured.

"All the heavens and myriad worlds are essentially the same world, and the same world can also evolve into all the heavens and myriad worlds. The so-called past and future are essentially the same thing. Time is just a wrong concept, and the past and the future are the same thing."

Li Shimin spoke in a gentle tone, as if the person confronting him was not Judas, but just a friend he had just met.

"It may sound counterintuitive, but it's true."

Judas showed no surprise, for he was not completely ignorant of this.

"The world is essentially chaotic and infinite. It can have thousands of different forms in a single moment, and it can also reach any point in time and become any form in the next second. This is the so-called world line. There are infinite possibilities in the next second. And it is because of the changing nature of the world that all kinds of things that go against common sense exist."

"For example, the Taoist methods of practitioners and Western magic are essentially just practitioners relying on their will to choose different world lines. The reason why vampires and zombies can live forever is that they can resist the erosion of the quantum sea to a certain extent. Their bodies subconsciously choose the world line of immortality, so they can be almost immortal!"

Li Shimin explained:

"As ghosts eat more and more people, or as zombies are isolated from the world for longer and longer periods of time, the ghosts' adaptability to the quantum sea will also increase. In this case, the number of world lines that ghosts can choose will continue to increase, and the external manifestation is that blood ghost arts become stronger and stronger, and the ghosts' lifespans become longer and longer."

"When the power of ghosts reaches its limit, the world lines they can freely choose will also be infinite. This means that they can freely choose any moment in the future of this world. From the performance point of view, such ghosts are actually no different from gods, because they can make their wishes come true."

"And this is also the fundamental principle of the blood demon technique you just performed, which made your words come true."

At this point, Li Shimin looked at Judas' bloodshot eyes and said resolutely:

"However, your words and actions cannot change the fact that the world is infinite and chaotic. Even if you really make everyone in this world believe in God, a world without God will appear in the next second. What you do is meaningless. The God you believe in does not exist in the face of the randomness of the world."

"Your belief in God is essentially nothing more than self-deception!"

From the nature of the world to the nature of ghosts, and then to the nature of blood ghost arts. All that Li Shimin said was actually just to point out one point, that is, what Judas and others did was essentially just deceiving themselves.

God does not exist at all!

The world doesn’t care about people’s beliefs!

What the church is doing is totally meaningless!

But so what?

Judas had lived for nearly two thousand years, and his belief in the gods had long been engraved in his bones. Even if Li Shimin explained the nature of the world, it would not be shaken in the slightest. Then he said:

"If you believe in God, He is there!"

It is still a short sentence, but it reveals the essence of faith.

If everyone in this world believes that God exists, then God exists. This is how it should be as a believer's faith. Whether you are deceiving yourself or the world, even if you are deceiving the world, if the whole world is deceived, then the false will become true, and the non-existent will become existent.

It's not that Judas doesn't understand the nature of the world's emptiness and chaos, but he still chooses to believe in God. Because in his heart, God is the starry sky on the long river of fate, and the beacon in the sea of quantum. Even if these are essentially just self-consolation for people who are sinking in the sea of suffering, they can still bring people inner peace in the illusory world.

God has always been there, not here, not there, but in the human heart.

Hearing Judas' words, Li Shimin closed his eyes slightly.

After all, they are on different paths and cannot make plans together. They are two thousand-year-old ghosts, one in the East and the other in the West. They represent the two peaks of human civilization respectively, but they have the same deep obsession. One is obsessed with God, the other is obsessed with people; one is obsessed with faith, the other is obsessed with civilization; one is obsessed with the church, the other is obsessed with Shenzhou.

Gods are naturally illusory and false, but is the so-called civilization really something important?

The quantum sea surged, and in an instant, it changed in a myriad of ways! Countless worlds reached the pinnacle of civilization because of this surge, and countless civilizations disappeared in this surge.

Under the laws of nature, the so-called civilization is so fragile!

There will always be a day of extinction and a day of annihilation. This is also the nature of the world. Death is the final destination of all things that can never be changed.

Those who believe in gods are only deceiving themselves, and those who continue civilization are also deceiving themselves.

Gods never exist, civilizations will always die, greatness is nothing but a lie, and glory can only remain in the past.

Chapter 162 Omniscient and Omnipotent

On the ship in the Tiannan Sea, while Li Shimin was confronting Judas, the Zhuxian Talisman Sword in his hand gradually dissipated and turned into talismans that surrounded his body.

The number of talismans continued to increase, gradually turning into four long swords that surrounded them, stirring the surrounding space and breaking the void into earth, water, fire and wind. At the same time, the scale of the Five Emperors City above Li Shimin's head gradually expanded, and jade buildings continued to emerge, with flying eaves and brackets, rainbow bridges lying on the waves, almost luxurious, like a palace in the sky, a residence of immortals.

Opposite Li Shimin, seven lights shone from Judas's head, and his pale face looked like a god under the light. Seeing this, the other apostles beside him either fled or were wiped out by the aftermath of the confrontation between the two. Suddenly, Judas raised his right hand, his expression solemn, and a brilliant voice came out of his mouth. The ancient language contained strange magic, as if commanding the three realms:

“God said, Let there be light!”

After he finished speaking, the sky was filled with radiant light that spread to the surroundings, and the surrounding sea was instantly shrouded in the light.

Seeing this, the four long swords around Li Shimin became more solid, and the stars condensed into the shape of a city wall, evolving into an endless interstellar Great Wall according to the Tianshi Wall among the Three Walls. This Great Wall distorted the surrounding time and space, isolating all the surrounding light.

Seeing this, Judas narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of fear.

The reason why he wanted to cover the surrounding sea with light was that he wanted to use this light to turn the surrounding several miles into his own territory. When the light spread all over the earth, he would be equivalent to the god of this several miles. Whatever he thought and imagined could be turned into reality, which was truly omniscient and omnipotent.

However, no matter how powerful this domain is, it is still limited by distance. Li Shimin's Starry Sky Great Wall distorts time and space, thus blocking the influence of the domain. Thus, Judas became more aware of the threat posed by Li Shimin, knowing that if he were there, Shenzhou would definitely not be shrouded in the glory of the gods. So Judas whispered in the light:

"I am a rebel who has turned away from God, and I am also a sinner with devout faith. I do not ask God to forgive my sins, but only ask God to spread His majesty to the earth and redeem all the Lord's lambs in the world. May the light of the church shine throughout the world."

After saying this, his eyes shone with brilliance, and he shouted solemnly:

"I declare this again in the name of Judas, the twelfth apostle!"

"May Saint Peter, the first apostle, return to the world and lay the foundation of the church here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in the light. The man was dressed in linen and leather shoes, with a dignified face. He was the actual founder of the church, the first pope, and also the first apostle, Saint Peter.

As the de facto founder of the church, Saint Peter looked at Judas after he appeared. His eyes showed hatred for the traitor and compassion for the lost, but in the end, all his thoughts turned into determination, and only a sigh remained:

"There is always a place for you in the Lord's Heaven, and there is always a place for you in the Lord's Hell."

After saying this, St. Peter disappeared. In the light in the void, the foundation of a building had been laid.

Everything that happened just now was just an illusion created by Judas himself, but even so, the words of his old friend still made him cry. He controlled his emotions and continued:

"May the second apostle Andrew return to the world and erect a cross for the church here."

After that, another figure in a priest's robe appeared. He walked to the tall figure of Judas, patted his shoulder, and then turned into a brilliant cross and disappeared beside Judas.

Then, Judas shouted:

"May the third apostle James the Great reappear in the world and accomplish justice for the church here."

"May the fourth apostle John reappear in the world and fulfill the diligence of the church here."

"May the fifth apostle Philip reappear in the world and fulfill the generosity of the church here."

"May the sixth apostle, Bartholomew, return to the world and establish moderation for the church here."

"May the seventh apostle Thomas return to the world and fulfill the chastity of the church here."

"May the eighth apostle Matthew return to the world and establish the gospel of the church here."

"May the ninth apostle, James the Less, reappear in the world and bring about the gentleness of the church."

"May the tenth apostle Thaddaeus return to the world and bring about the church's tolerance."

"May the eleventh apostle Simon reappear in the world and gather the believers of the church here."

With each call, the church in the light became more and more solid and almost real.

It turned out that under the cover of light, Judas used his own strength to perform the ultimate blood demon technique that required the joint efforts of twelve apostles, Heavenly Rebirth! Although the attack range of Heavenly Rebirth was limited by the number of casters, it was still enough to break the defense of the Starlight Great Wall in front of Li Shimin.

Under the protection of the starlight, Li Shimin watched the founders of the church reappear in the world. Although he still felt that believing in God was meaningless, he could also feel a driving force in these people, which was the yearning for creating a new world. These people were shining not only with the light of God, but also with the light of humanity.

Finally, the eleven apostles had all become part of the church, and the only surviving apostle sighed devoutly:

"In the name of the twelfth apostle Judas, I am here to welcome the coming of God!"

Seeing that Judas was about to attack, Li Shimin opened his right hand and a fishing rod appeared in his hand. He waved his hand casually, and the fishing rod carried a star fishing line and hit Judas directly. This fishing line originated from the quantum sea, representing the essence of the world, which contained infinite time and space. If Judas was hit by this fishing line, he would be knocked out of this world and sink into the sea of suffering, which was very terrible.

Seeing the fishing line about to hit, Judas's head was shining with thousands of orange lights, and he laughed contemptuously:

"Knowledge and scientific power are also gifts from God to mankind! Although time and space are mysterious, there are no secrets in front of science."

Along with these words, Judas, who was about to be hit by the fishing line, turned into stars and avoided the attack of the fishing line. This was because Judas used the scientific knowledge represented by the orange light to analyze the attack of the Taiqing ghost. Since he knew the principle of the Taiqing ghost's attack method, he could easily avoid Li Shimin's attack.

This is the terrifying omniscience and omnipotence symbolized by the seven lights!

All abilities are meaningless in front of omniscience, and omniscience combined with the vast amount of blood in Judas' body means omnipotence. In addition, the light on his body distorts the world, turning the surrounding area into Judas's domain. So in this domain, Judas is the omniscient and omnipotent god!

Li Shimin's attack failed, and Judas immediately began to counterattack. With the help of the power of the Seven Lights of All-Knowing above his head, the door of the church built by the Heavenly Rebirth suddenly opened, and figures walked out from it, protecting Judas.

There were figures, some wearing solemn priest robes, some wearing bright knight armor, with silver-white crosses on their chests, and many people in the team holding high the flags symbolizing God. These figures were none other than the saints of the church that Judas had recorded with his omniscience for thousands of years.

Each of them has made great contributions to the spread of the gospel in the church in history, and each of them has incomparable strength. They are the past of the church, the foundation of faith, the apostles of God, and the most precious wealth of the church.

Some of these figures are knowledgeable priests, some are knights with extraordinary combat power, some are heroes who kill evil spirits, and some are evil spirits who assassinate heretics. They all have various abilities, and each of them is strong enough to leave their own legends in history. Some of them are even strong enough to be on par with masters like Tsugikoku Yoriichi.

With the help of the omniscient seven lights, their images have always remained in Judas' heart, and with the help of the almighty Heavenly Church, Judas made them reappear in the world.
