"You've ruined the hell I hold most dear."
Let go of Chen Yi, Hedwig said.
"But it doesn't matter. I don't need to intervene. I know that one day it will return to its original state, just with a deviation."
Chen Yi was silent.
Hedwig said casually: "I had thought that a god would be born in hell, but I never thought that it would be yours, not the Temple of Misery."
"You made a deal with fate, how could you not think of it?" He asked.
"The fate of the gods is doomed, but only I can peep into it. The process will change, but the result will not, because it is destined in the future." Hedwig continued, "What I know is that hell will breed A man of God comes out.”
Chen Yi immediately fell into deep thought.
The word "know", uttered by Hedwig at this moment, has an extraordinary meaning.
And when she tried to think about it, Chen Yi understood what it meant.
It can be summed up in just one sentence:
The Lord knows, the Lord creates.
"Because you know that a god will appear in hell in the future, so the god appeared in hell not long ago."
At this moment, Chen Yi deeply understood the meaning of the future determining the present.
He looked deeply at Hedwig, the Lord of Suffering, this strange yet familiar sister.
"Yes, hell is my source of faith." Hedwig smiled, "If I didn't know, then you wouldn't be able to meet Moses no matter what."
Chen Yi read the meaning of this sentence from Hedwig's calm eyes.
To be precise, no matter who you meet, he will never be Moses.
If Hedwig didn't know that a god would appear in hell, the god would never be born in hell.
Furthermore, if Hedwig did not know a certain concept, then there would be no certain concept in hell.
For example, He does not know "life", and the concept of "life" will not exist in this nine-ring hell.
"If you didn't know me, how could I have walked into this hell?" Chen Yi asked softly.
"Good question...but how could I not know you?" Hedwig replied.
Then, He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling, and continued: "If you really don't know, you are about to step into hell, but before you step into hell, I will know about you."
Chen Yi nodded lightly.
Chen Yi didn't wonder why Hedwig answered him so unreservedly.
He guessed that Hedwig thought this way: because Hedwig knew that Resurrection Town was destined to be destroyed, and that he was inevitably going to die, so... no matter how many questions Hedwig answered, he said Nothing you say will change this, because the future determines the present.
"It's time for me to go." Chen Yi said softly.
"Leave, I am ready to sleep until the day when 'I' become the Lord of Suffering." Hedwig held up her skirt and sat back on the chair in front of the icon with the sword in her arms.
"I hope you don't know that." He almost walked out of the living room.
"Unless 'knowing' no longer exists in this world."
Thin black veils flew up and were tied to His clothes, hiding the face that should be on the mural.
"It's so precious to see you again today," Hedwig finally said before closing her eyelids. "You know, I will never see you in the past."
.............................
Chen Yi left.
Without Karl to lead the way, Chen Yi only needs to cut off the connection with the psychic ritual to pass through the Nine Rings of Hell and return to Resurrection Town.
The reason why I was able to go to the Holy Land and Hell through the psychic ritual after writing my name on the Kingdom of God before was because "salvation" was calling me.
Just like last time, the consciousness did not return to the body, but fell into the sea of clouds.
On the throne, Chen Yi felt an unprecedented feeling of exhaustion.
But what was different from before was that everything was clear in Chen Yi's eyes, as if he could catch the cause at once.
After comprehending "Nora Rich", because of that trace of the supreme and holy breath, something in myself was completely changed.
This feeling is magical, and it is not easy to summarize. In short, you can try to see everything in the world with divinity.
"In the past, I always thought of dealing with the things at hand first, doing the things now well, step by step, but..." Chen Yi raised his hand and stared at the pure gold flame, "'Now' doesn't seem that important. ”
I can feel the future secretly.
And Chen Yi also understood why he was so exhausted.
Traveling through hell damages one's human soul.
Chen Yi looked at the bronze door held up by the invisible tower. The relief pictures began to change slowly as soon as his eyes touched it. The sons of gods came to the world, and they refused to recognize the blessings of other gods. The ancient fallen and destroyed ancient Giant dragon... After the interpretation of myths, legends and religious fables, two relief paintings appeared on the bronze door.
Needless to say, there is a relief painting of Christopher rising into the sky with a flame.
And another relief painting.
He is a man in ragged clothes, holding an eternal candlelight in his hand, going through many hardships.
"God." Chen Yi murmured softly.
When Chen Yi heard the word "god man" from Karl's mouth, Chen Yi understood its meaning.
It means: This person comes from God.
It is very difficult to sort out and explain it in detail. Since the third decline of God, the research and debate on "god-men" has been thick enough to stack up half a continent.
There is an explanation that is easy to understand and generally accepted: this person was chosen by God.
Looking down on the sea of clouds with thousands of pillars, Chen Yi saw the Good and Evil Bell Tower and the Illusory Bell Tower with lights burning respectively.
The three layers of lights in the former are almost overflowing.
As for the latter, two layers of pale golden lights were almost burning.
Chen Yi only took one look at the illusory bell tower and understood what would happen when those pale golden lights fell on his hands.
"Heaven," Chen Yi whispered to himself, "it's about the ancient saying 'heaven'."
Heavenly salvation.
That is the honorable name and authority enjoyed by the Lord God.
Chen Yi was not in a hurry to get close to the Illusory Bell Tower, nor was he in a hurry to deduce the future of Resurrection Town.
Because he had to go back and see the sister who was worried about him.
.....................
"Yeah, yeah." She shouted twice, "You are finally back!"
Chen Yi looked at Hedwig, the illusory blonde girl.
"Yes, you're back and you came in directly?" Chen Yi said softly, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"
The squatting Hedwig stood up quickly. She slapped her knees under her long skirt and complained: "What are you talking about? I thought your ceremony would only last for a while, but now, it's already dawn, and it's already gone." It’s night again! Only the Lord knows how worried I am about you!”
Chen Yi nodded, twenty years in hell and one day on earth, he had been in hell for a long, long time.
"Hedwig, you are right." Chen Yi said suddenly without arguing.
"What's wrong?" Hedwig was confused.
"That statement, 'Only the Lord knows how worried I am about you!'"
"What's wrong, are you going to laugh at me?" Hedwig knew that her brother didn't believe it, so she mistakenly thought that Chen Yi was going to laugh at her, "That's the truth!"
"No, I believe you." Chen Yi said seriously.
Hedwig looked him up and down, then nodded slowly.
She hesitated for a moment and asked curiously: "Brother, what did you see after channeling?"
"I saw...salvation." Chen Yi originally wanted to say hell.
"What a vague answer." Hedwig continued, "Be clearer."
Chen Yi thought for a while and whispered: "I seemed to have had a dream and then returned home."
"Whose blood did you take, and how did you get home? Then what?" Hedwig was very surprised.
"I can't remember many of them. After all, I have been channeling for too long and my spiritual energy has been consumed too much." Chen Yi said.
"Then what do you remember?"
"Remember a scripture."
Hedwig came closer, her face almost touching her brother, and said piously and happily: "You actually remember the scriptures. I believe this is the Lord's revelation."
"Yeah." Chen Yi responded softly.
"Please tell me."
Hedwig clasped her hands together and almost closed her eyelids.
Chen Yi's eyes looked at her, his sister, and he understood one thing from the Lord of Suffering, what he would eventually do and what he was destined to do.
“Forsake first, save later.”
Hedwig, leave me behind and save you.
