The invisible road beneath our feet is very long.
Chen Yi saw the deep crack that led to the mantle of the earth. He had to go to the end until he reached the ladder to the kingdom of God, the Lord of Suffering.
"King of Faith, Lord of Salvation," Karl said, leading the way, "I can only take you to the stairs. As a humble dead soul, I cannot set foot in His Kingdom of God."
"Because gods and humans cannot know each other or meet each other." Chen Yi said softly.
Karl was not surprised that he said the answer he intended to say.
Chen Yi continued to move forward.
Only God can meet God.
Carl continued to lead the way.
Compared with the nine-ring hell that is filled with all kinds of pain, the invisible road in front of you is too ordinary. Along the way, it is above the hell that the Lord of Suffering cherishes, and the scenery does not change much.
Moreover, the invisible road is straight without any twists or turns. Rather than saying that Karl is leading the way, it is better to say that he is just walking in front. Even if he stops now, Chen Yi can go directly to the kingdom of the Lord of Suffering. In front of the stairs.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yi and Karl finally arrived at the deep crack.
It was dark and deep inside, with no end in sight, making people feel desperate. However, that kind of despair was extremely magnificent, like the eyes of the God of Beauty, staring straight at Him, and then licking her soft lips and saying: "Please come back." Bar."
Carl paused.
"King of Faith, Lord of Salvation, please forgive me for stopping here," Karl said respectfully: "This is a last resort. However, I must stop, otherwise I will be trapped in it forever."
"Even the fifth number that is approaching the sixth number is like this?" Chen Yi asked, and answered for him, "No, all this is because you are a dead soul. This place of endless despair is just like your gentle hometown. Once you step into it, If you enter, you will fall into it forever."
Karl was not surprised, nodded slightly, and said humbly: "As you know."
Chen Yi turned around and looked directly at him, this dead soul who mastered the 'seeking knowledge'.
"Is there anything else you haven't told me?" Chen Yi asked calmly.
Even if he carries a trace of the supreme and holy, even if he can penetrate everything and see the depths of Karl's soul, he cannot know everything that Karl knows.
For example, things related to all the gods in the world.
Karl smiled bitterly, the remaining half of his jaw was very loose and shaky.
“The only thing I can say, the only thing I can tell you at this moment, is what He wants to tell you,” Carl said. “If you don’t know it now, you will know it later.
"Then let's talk now." Chen Yi replied.
In this way, Karl could only nod as if obeying the order, and then spoke out a sentence cautiously.
“You are what little of His humanity is left.”
Chen Yi was startled.
There's not much humanity left...
Who is the Lord of Suffering...
Is it really my future self?
Chen Yi took a deep breath. There was obviously no need for him to inhale.
Could it be that the future me has almost lost my humanity, but the current me has not completely lost it?
Soon, Chen Yi came back to her senses.
"I understand." He said slowly, turning back.
Karl bowed deeply, raised his hands in a circle salute, and when he saw Him gradually walking into it, he was about to turn around.
And when he turned around.
"Karl, seducer of the fallen angels," a divine voice came from the crack.
Karl looked there without knowing why.
"From now on, you are also..." He paused, "a seeker of knowledge with God."
Karl froze in place.
The shaky half of his chin could no longer hold up, and the sticky flesh broke apart, falling heavily onto the invisible road.
Carl was shaking all over and couldn't help himself.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly squatted down, picked up the fallen half of his chin, aligned it with the original position of his upper jaw, and placed it firmly on it.
............................
Chen Yi walked into the crack and saw endless abyss in all directions.
The surroundings are quiet, and the darkness that swallows all the light is spread all over. It is bottomless and close in front of you. Hope makes people yearn for it, but at this moment, the eternal and magnificent despair is not the same, making people sink into it.
Chen Yi continued walking until he reached the depths of the invisible road, where there was a wide staircase leading upward.
When He stepped onto the first step, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
Chen Yi didn't need to look around.
He could sense that the boundless abyss around him was slowly approaching here, getting closer bit by bit, as if he was sizing up Him who was about to reach the door of the Kingdom of God.
Chen Yi walked up the second step, and the speed of the abyss getting closer accelerated. By the time he reached the third step, the speed at which it was getting closer was already visible to the naked eye.
The abyss seemed to be alive, and with every step he took, it got closer and closer.
Chen Yi didn't care.
As He approached the last third of the staircase, the abyss all around him was already within easy reach.
That is the end of suffering, a magnificent despair.
Chen Yi raised his head, and in an instant, a bunch of withered or fat hands grew out of the dark abyss. Thousands of them were pressing towards him, rushing over. The abyss seemed to pull him into it, forever. of sinking.
A wall of sorrow for all beings.
Chen Yi knew its name.
Those hands growing out of the abyss are constantly approaching, infinitely close to Him. However, they are only infinitely close, and they cannot touch Him.
He could hear those hands shaking, as if expressing in their own language an unreachable cry.
They were not worth paying attention to. Chen Yi walked step by step until he came to a door.
It was still a bronze door.
He didn't know what would be inside. Chen Yi could not penetrate this door and directly see another Lord.
"The Lord of Suffering is me in the future...perhaps it will be Qianzhu Yunhai." Chen Yi murmured.
He put his hands on the door and slowly pushed it open.
Thousands of hands instantly retracted from the approaching abyss, then swept back at an unimaginable speed, frantically returning to their original positions.
It seems to be afraid of something.
moment.
Chen Yi slowly opened the door in front of him.
He had anticipated his surprise, which should be the surprise when he saw that behind the door was a thousand pillars above the sea of clouds.
"Why, why..."
A narrow house perpendicular to the street, facing the leather shop on the street, and a bookstall outside the door.
This is Chen Yi's home.
He miscalculated.
That's not the surprise of seeing thousands of pillars above the sea of clouds.
In front of the icon.
He wore a thousand-layer veil on his face, and his robes were pitch black. He held a sword in his arms, revealing his white wrists, which were clearly the arms of a woman.
Chen Yi looked at him blankly.
His feet are bare, and the veils on his face have slipped.
The girl is tall and tall, with a thin body and a round and soft face. The bridge of her nose is short and small, and her thick light golden hair shines even in the rain.
It feels like it should be on a mural!
After realizing that someone had entered the Kingdom of God, He opened his eyes and spoke slowly as he had expected it.
“The heavens and the earth are not merciful, and they regard all things as cattle. The saints and angels are also devoid of good deeds, and regard the world as nothing.”
His words are like the howling of a mighty wind.
Chen Yi's memory was awakened.
Yes...it all makes sense.
Whether it's "Hell is other people.", whether it's the silver-blooded choice of St. Vena Cana, whether it's the inscription about the Divine Comedy on the bronze door...
And I should have thought of it earlier.
He comes from the future.
"Hedwig, pure and taboo." Chen Yi murmured.
His city of reason was suddenly close to collapse.
Hedwig slowly raised her face and stared at Chen Yi.
"My dear brother, how does it feel to have a glimpse of the future?"
"How does it feel to usurp my authority?"
