I let the genie out of the bottle

He had vaguely heard rumors that some originally sublime angels had betrayed the Lord's teachings and were running rampant on earth. At the same time, there were also evil, wicked demons who were harming the Lord's people on earth.

Some even witnessed by chance that great angels fought against fallen angels and demons, and the entire sky was covered by lightning and gales, as if it were the end of the world.

"Alas! Alas!" Thinking of this, the shepherd felt a pang of sorrow and sighed repeatedly.

Then, he looked up and saw the tall, straight figure of a black-haired young man walking towards him in the distance.

At first glance, he found the young man's face ordinary yet kind, almost making him think he was one of his brothers or compatriots. However, reason told him that this was not someone he knew, but an unknown and distinguished gentleman.

This sense of contradiction kept the ordinary shepherd from his reverie until the other person approached him and reached out to stroke his lamb.

"Excuse me, I have a few questions I'd like to ask. I hope it won't bother you?" the young man said with a smile and a gentle tone.

The words carried a subtle hint of instruction, but incredibly, they were not offensive at all.

"Excuse me, esteemed guest." The shepherd looked at the distinguished guest who had come from afar with some awe, his face unconsciously showing a hint of fear—like a child who had just finished an exam and was worried about his grades, suddenly seeing his parent appear unexpectedly beside him.

"This place seems to be called Harlan, right?"

As he spoke, Lu Ye subconsciously glanced at the sky—there seemed to be a black, blood-stained, disheveled feather slowly drifting down.

But he ignored him and continued to ask in a gentle tone, "Then, have you heard of Abram—or Abraham?"

P.S.: It's a bit early...

Chapter Three: You will surely be blessed!

According to the Bible, Abraham, whose original name was Abram, was a prophet in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He was chosen by God from among all living beings on earth and blessed by Him.

God gave him the name "Abraham," meaning "father of many nations," because Abraham made his name known throughout the earth.

At the same time, Abraham is also the legendary common ancestor of the Hebrew and Arab peoples.

Judging from the shepherd's face, he must be a devout believer. Moreover, Lu Ye could sense the piety in his heart.

Such believers living in Haran should, in theory, know the name Abraham.

However, the shepherd truly did not know.

It wasn't because he wasn't devout enough, but because he didn't even know that there had ever been a cataclysmic flood in the world!

That is to say...

The timeline of this world seems to be quite early, even before the legendary Great Flood!

Even though Abraham was very famous, he was still born a long time after the Great Flood.

It would be strange if an ordinary believer at this time knew the name of Abraham, which would not appear for who knows how long.

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

Originally, his arrival in a new world meant he was destined to alter the world's mythology. However, his encounter with the crimson dragon and the slender, dark blue dragon lurking in the shadows during a dimensional rift made him realize which world he was in.

Moreover, given the current time, it seems that we can still see the figure of that Lord in this world.

This might leave more room for maneuver.

No, if we're talking about this world, perhaps it's more appropriate to call it the God of the Bible rather than the Lord.

Considering the description of the Lord in the Bible, and then looking at the biblical God of this world, the difference is truly striking.

However, the God of the Bible in this world has one major characteristic: he is too compassionate.

He fought the 666 Beast alone, sealed it, and consumed most of his power; then he went to play the trick of creating more angels, followed by the war between the three races, and then he had to turn the two Heavenly Dragons into divine artifacts for humans. Finally, he had to drag the four Demon Kings on his way, and after he died from exhaustion, his will left behind and ran into the divine artifact to continue to protect humans.

His diligence and conscience are so exemplary that they could be considered a model of mythology. If the God of Light or the Church of Light, who are often portrayed as villains, were to see this, they would probably weep bitterly on the spot.

Moreover, their record is equally impressive.

Although in the original work it is claimed that it is on par with the Infinite Dragon God, or that it is no match for the Infinite Dragon God, the thought that the malice of the God of the Bible could be transformed into Samael and trick the Infinite Dragon God is quite unsettling... or rather, the cute dragon is really a bit embarrassing.

However, since I arrived so early, that's even better. After all, there's probably no one in this world who can threaten me, and I can do whatever I want entirely according to my own will.

To be honest, given Lu Ye's personality, he is inherently quite patient. If he can continue to steadily improve in the Godslayer world, he might be able to stay there forever.

Now, having to leave temporarily because of his rapid advancement, he felt somewhat inexplicable.

One hundred grimoires erode one hundred parallel universes, then resonate with each other, spreading like cancer cells to other unaffected worlds.

Although he knew that his approach of visiting over six hundred parallel universes would inevitably yield significant results, he was still somewhat surprised to have actually managed to do so. This meant that many of his original plans would have to be changed.

To be honest, even Mozlis had previously thought that Lu Ye would stop his journey in the Godslayer world after defeating the Last King and the Goddess of Fate. She never expected that he would go on a crazy spree, traveling through so many parallel universes.

Having a vague idea in his mind, Lu Ye nodded kindly to the shepherd in front of him and thanked him gently.

"No, no, sir, I don't deserve your thanks."

The devout shepherd shrank back, his expression a mixture of honor, fear, and shame.

Even he himself didn't know where his complicated feelings came from. Logically speaking, as a devout believer, he should be able to treat even the wealthiest and most powerful people on earth with humility.

However, in front of this young man, he felt an unconscious sense of respect and trepidation.

"I am truly ashamed that I was unable to answer any of the questions you asked me. It would be unethical for me to accept your thanks in this situation."

Based on these words and actions, and the shepherd's previous inner turmoil, Lu Ye knew that this was a simple-minded and virtuous person.

“There’s no need for that.” Lu Ye’s attitude was warm and gentle, like a spring breeze. “Even if you don’t know, I can already get the answer I need from your reply.”

"I see. I shouldn't have presumptuously guessed your wisdom, nor should I have tried to understand your words and actions with my own limited perspective." The shepherd's face showed sudden realization, followed by a hint of fear.

Then, he spoke with a somewhat nervous expression: "Sir, I see that you seem to have come from afar, and you must be tired from your journey. I wonder if you could come to my house to rest and have a drink of Yangnai to quench your thirst?"

Although he didn't know who the person in front of him was, the devout shepherd could feel the sincere respect rising in his heart, and he invited him in a sincere and eager tone.

"No need, I have things to do right now and must leave." Lu Ye shook his head and politely declined, "If there is another opportunity in the future, I may come and bother you again."

Upon hearing this, the shepherd's face showed some regret and reluctance, but he still raised his hand to his chest and said sincerely and humbly, "In that case, may the Lord bless you with a smooth journey and a safe trip."

"Thank you." Lu Ye nodded slightly, his expression peaceful, and casually wished, "You will surely be blessed in the future."

Having said that, Lu Ye turned and left, ignoring the shepherd's face which instantly turned to ecstasy.

Following the power fluctuations he had sensed before, Lu Ye walked slowly forward with the air of someone enjoying a spring outing, holding a black feather in one hand.

"Ah, this fallen angel." Lu Ye made no attempt to conceal his presence, leisurely looking at the figure lying on the ground ahead.

"You seem to be seriously injured?"

Chapter Four here is dedicated to confessing the sin of betrayal!

"Humanity--"

The fallen angel, lying on the ground, slowly withdrew his gaze from Lu Ye, his voice indifferent and cold. However, the light spear that had condensed in his hand slowly dissipated.

"What, humans? Do you want to witness the death of me, the enemy of God?"

The fallen angel, lying on the ground, stared wide-eyed as he spoke.

He immediately began by describing his own death. While the statement was harsh, it was actually quite apt.

Because, judging from the condition of the fallen angel's injuries alone, it was clear at a glance that he was gradually approaching death.

This fallen angel was handsome, but possessed a subtle, sinister charm. At this moment, however, his strikingly handsome face was pale, and his pupils were slightly unfocused.

He initially had twelve black wings on his back, but now only three remain on the left and two on the right. As for the rest, they were probably torn off by someone.

A large hole was torn in his abdomen, through which the scene behind him could be seen directly. His chest was also a blur, and one of his arms had been torn off.

Of course, for this mythical creature, the physical injury was not the most serious problem. What truly threatened its life was the dense black and red aura that clung to its body.

Even if no one comes, he will die within minutes.

The light spear he had just painstakingly conjured was probably intended as a counterattack against the enemy who had turned him into this. However, upon discovering that the newcomer was an ordinary human, he was unwilling to use his final counterattack against a human.

Even so, he could sense that this might be a human being with devout faith.

"Ah, perhaps that's true. Even though I'm just an ordinary human being, I still have the nature to seek out new and exciting things."

Lu Ye wore a gentle smile, like a priest in a church facing a bewildered believer.

"So, I'm kind of curious to see what it's like for a fallen angel to die."

If he had encountered this fallen angel before seeing the shepherd, he might have offered his help, at least to answer his questions before dying.

But right now, he has no interest.

"Hmph, hahaha, interesting and daring humans."

The fallen angel, lying on the ground, immediately let out a series of maniacal laughs.

In his eyes, the person before him, even if a believer, possessed no special power. The fact that such a person could come before him and speak these words was undoubtedly quite amusing.

However, the laughter aggravated his internal injuries, causing him to cough violently.

Lu Ye merely observed this with a gentle expression.

Under Lu Ye's gaze, the fallen angel, after laughing, gradually became unnatural, and then a conflicted look appeared on his face.

"Hey, human." The powerful twelve-winged fallen angel spoke with dim eyes, "May I ask you for a favor?"

He spoke with great humility.

Don't forget, at this moment, in his eyes, even if he is about to die, he is still a twelve-winged fallen angel.

Lu Ye was just an ordinary human being who believed in God.

"I need to determine whether this violates the Lord's teachings," Lu Ye said softly, his smile unchanged.

However, even this fallen angel did not notice that Lu Ye did not say anything like, "If you go against the Lord's teachings, I will certainly not help you."

"My name is Simzas, and I was once one of the leaders of the angels in the Kingdom of Heaven." The fallen angel who called himself Simzas had a bitter look on his face. "He was also one of the leaders of the fallen angels who led many angels to fall."

"At the same time, he must be one of the fallen angels that the Lord hates the most—after all, since our fall, we have been unable to speak our voices to the Lord."

As he spoke, golden specks of light continuously floated out from his body.

Lu Ye did not interrupt him, and listened peacefully.

Lu Ye was naturally familiar with the name Simzas.

A group of angels who came to Earth to keep watch gradually became tempted by worldly things.

At this time, Simzas, a leader of the angels, said that he was afraid that he would be the only one to fall and thus suffer severe punishment alone.

Ultimately, the angels made a pact to fall together and to curse those who broke the pact.

"I wonder if you could help me convey my guilt and remorse, and ask the Lord for forgiveness on my behalf?" Simzas asked earnestly, his head bowed.

Some of the so-called fallen angels, although they fell due to temptation, still have a heart of reverence for the Lord and feel deep remorse for their fall.

At this moment, as life was about to end, this feeling of guilt and respect welled up in my heart once again.

However, even if Simzas, who was on the verge of death, wanted to confess his remorse and guilt to the Lord and ask for forgiveness, he was helpless.

Therefore, even knowing that the hope was slim, he was willing to lower his head and ask Lu Ye for help, praying for even the one in a million chance to convey his heart to the Lord.

I understand this perfectly well.

However, Lu Ye suddenly felt that what was happening in front of him seemed to have a strange sense of déjà vu.

The fallen angel, in desperation, begged humanity to ask the Lord for forgiveness.

“I understand your wish.” Lu Ye nodded gently.

Could it be that one's own worldview is subtly influencing the course of this world?

Will the next scene be that you travel over mountains and rivers, endure countless hardships, and finally meet the God of the Bible, and tell Him about your guilt as a fallen angel?

"Also, if you happen to meet Azazel or any other fallen angel, then please—" Simzas paused, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"No, I still pray you don't run into those guys. Anyway, thanks."

Simzas was deathly pale and weakly nodded to Lu Ye, seemingly unable to suppress the power emanating from the enemy within him.

“By the way, I haven’t asked your name yet. I hope I can pray for you, may God bless you—” Simzas’s voice suddenly stopped, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

The next moment, his body turned into scattered golden light spots and disappeared.

"My name is..." Lu Ye, who was just about to say his name, suddenly looked speechless.

Under the influence of the mythological system of Heaven, even fallen angels or demons would experience excruciating headaches from their prayers. For Simzas, who was on the verge of death, this was undoubtedly the final straw that broke the camel's back.
