only god

Chapter 548 The truth is still there (two in one)

Belvan is dead.

His death was a premeditated suicide. He died during the farewell party. The servants found another suicide note that had been written long ago, which stated that his death had nothing to do with anyone else.

For a huge kingdom, the death of a scholar is really insignificant, like a stone thrown into a river, which can only stir up a little ripple, but the river still flows.

Although Allaire and others were surprised by Belfan's death, they were also happy to see the outcome. In their eyes, scholars like Belfan were not important. He was not involved in politics and was not a craftsman who mastered steam technology. He was just a small person, and they wanted to judge this man just to banish him from Karlond.

Now that Belfan has committed suicide, it saves them a lot of energy.

Alaire and others are now focusing on attacking craftsmen who use steam technology, as well as those clans that have prospered due to the awards of Kraft VI. The first one to bear the brunt is the Mu Shi clan.

The Mushi clan was already resented by the Gold and Silver clan for bringing the Book of Mechanics. They relied on the favor of the king to become domineering and caused trouble in the city. In addition, they thought highly of themselves and looked down on other clans, so they could not even control the steam. The skilled dwarf craftsmen don't like them either.

Because of this, the liquidation of the Mushi clan can be expected.

The scholars were extremely sad about Belfan's death. No one expected that Belfan actually drank the poisonous wine. Instead of joking, they gathered up Belfan's body, sprinkled spices and covered the coffin. He picked up the petals, then put them in and dragged them back to his clan cemetery, where he would be buried in the dwarven tradition.

"At least he walked quickly, and when he died, he spent it in celebration."

Watching the coffin go away, people comforted each other. They believed that when Belfan died, the messenger of death must have kissed his soul tenderly and took it to the underworld. As for what sighs awaited Belfan there? The land is still a great plain, no one knows.

Shortly after Belfan's death, the scholars were dismissed. After they packed their luggage, they were driven out of the city by the dwarf soldiers and headed towards their respective hometowns. Everyone could predict that the journey would be dusty and dusty. Life will be in danger.

Even so, on the day before leaving, the scholars were all full of energy and high spirits. They realized that they not only wanted to return to their hometown, but also wanted to spread the path of divine creation to all parts of the world. Alaire and others ordered it to be destroyed All research, but knowledge cannot be destroyed. It is engraved in people's minds. They memorize the records on those papers one by one, just waiting for the day when they pick up pen and paper again.

There is no doubt that Belvan committed suicide.

he died,
But the truth is still there.

Whether it is the usurping Alaire, the tyrant Kafu VI, the Gold and Silver Clan, or even King Mulla who ascended the throne, they are all like a heavy rain, a strong wind, and a bolt of lightning, rushing across this vast world in the blink of an eye. They disappeared in a short time, and the footprints they left on the beach of history were so shallow that they disappeared without a trace when the waves hit them.

However, the Taoism founded by Belfan and the research notes he wrote will appear one after another in libraries around the world. The Taoism created by God will follow the footsteps of scholars and spread across the entire land. Everything will be turned upside down. The sun of the new era has risen slowly and will rule the world in the near future.

Everyone will remember that he was not a prophet, not a shepherd, and certainly not a god.

He's a genius, that's all.

................................................

................................................

Slyer watched as Karl Lund turned back from the brink of civil war.

He originally expected that the whirlpool of civil war would become bigger and better, sweeping across the entire kingdom. In this way, the "town after death" he created would attract more dead people, and everything would become more real.

But now, this expectation has been dashed.

The appearance of Helis stopped the civil war in Karrond, and the entire kingdom calmed down. Although conflicts still existed, under the authority of the gods, they had to resolve the disputes in a more peaceful way.

It can be said that Heris's actions not only destroyed the plans of Sipos and other gods, but also completely disrupted Slaier's plan.

Faced with such a situation, what was different from Slaier's reaction was that his chosen spokesperson Vali was extremely excited.

"Great, I don't have to do those deceptive things anymore."

Wally shouted in his heart, almost jumping up.

Although he is good at lying and likes to lie, he always feels uneasy about deceiving living people into the town after death.

"Okay, okay, I see how happy you are."

Slaier clapped his hands and said to Wally.

Wally suddenly felt nervous, and he asked pretending to be concerned:

"So what to do now?
How about we pack our things in advance..."

Slaier glanced at him coldly and asked:

"Do you want to just run away?"

Vali shook his head subconsciously, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded timidly.

The God of Lies and Trickery sneered:
“How can you just walk away when you’ve reached this point?
If Carlond is gone, then change the place and move this afterlife town to another place. "

Vali was startled by Slaier's suggestion.

The boy widened his eyes and said:
"Where did you move to?"

Slaier lowered his head, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said:

"There is a group of gods who want to share the path of divine creation with mortals and serve as leaders for mortals. They seem to be gathering in Cecil now. In this case, let's go there."

Vali swallowed his saliva and asked:

"Then...how to move?"

Slaier said casually:

"Just move all the people there, and then add some anesthetic to their meals."

...............................

Slaier's plan sounded so random that Vali found it extremely unreliable.

But the boy then thought, maybe he could take this opportunity to get rid of Slaier's control?
The God of Lies and Trickery does not have a good reputation in the world. Because he has provoked many gods, he is despised in various faiths. People often even regard him as an evil god.

Who wants to be a subordinate of an evil god?
Vali was forced to serve Slaier as a last resort. He had no loyalty or faith in him. Now that the opportunity had come, he thought he had to take advantage of it.

"How to grasp it? How to grasp it?"

Alone in the room, Wally kept asking himself this question.

Suddenly, Vali slapped his head and remembered something,
"Yes, that true believer named Verdo...

In the previous riots, apart from the philosopher Slea pretended to be, he was the most respected by people.

Although he seems to accept the status quo now, but... what if, what if he still feels that he is not dead?
Yes, it's him. I'm helping him secretly and cooperating with him when necessary. I want him to know that this is all a lie! "

Vali clenched his fists. He had made up his mind to find an opportunity to get rid of Slaier's control. As for this afterlife town, as long as he could escape, it didn't matter if it was flooded.

.......................................

………………………………Verdo enjoyed an ordinary meal.

Since the riot, few people in the town dared to claim that they were not dead.

They all watched as their leader was defeated in front of the judge like a bereaved dog. Such a scene could destroy people's minds more than a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Anyone who claims that he is not dead will be considered a madman.

Verdo has also returned to his original afterlife, the association has disbanded, and he no longer claims that he has not died.

Gomu, who had long believed in his own death, accepted his prodigal friend. As true believers, they began to live a life of poverty in the afterlife that was no different from those in the cult.

They pray and chant sutras first in the morning, and then have breakfast. At noon, they pray and recite sutras first, and then have lunch. The same is true at night.

In this plain of sighs without entertainment, their day-to-day life is already quite colorful compared to others.

In this afterlife town, because entertainment no longer exists, everyone has become rigid and lives like a walking zombie. They are neither painful nor happy, they are just bored, and there is no end to it. boring.

Who made this the Plain of Sighs?

There is no light here, only darkness, no warmth, only cold, no joy, only sighs.

One day, Verdo was surprised to find that he had long been accustomed to life in the afterlife.

He felt very surprised. He had never believed that he was dead, but his soul was far more honest than himself, and he had really adapted to this place.

He told Gomu about this situation, and the latter replied:

“Vildo, we are all used to it.

Even if there is a slight possibility that we are not dead yet, we are really 'dead'.

Our souls have become accustomed to death, and life has become insulated from us. "

Gomu's words made so much sense. Verdo nodded while listening, yes, they were really dead, and the afterlife had left an indelible mark on them.

In this case, what's the use of insisting that he is not dead?
"Death is not a lie."

Verdo lowered his head and uttered a sentence resignedly.

At this time, he felt that letting go of the stone that had been hanging in his heart and accepting the fact of his own death suddenly made him feel a lot more relaxed.

He began to be completely immersed in this life after death, choosing to believe what Vali had said before, insisting on praying, and waiting to return to heaven one day.

This situation continued until…

"Why are there only two of you true believers in this place?"

One day, a new "dead man" asked with confusion on his face.

This question startled Verdo, but he quickly regained his composure.

No other true believers have come to the town since his death, so it is naturally suspicious, but is it really that suspicious?Perhaps those True believers who converted to True Religion were sent to other areas and did not happen to come to this town.

Therefore, Verdo did not take the "dead man's" words to heart.

Until, the "dead man" told Verdo in private that the guards in this afterlife town seemed to occasionally recite a few verses from the God of Lies and Trickery.

This immediately aroused Verdo's alert.

"Slair, the God of Lies and Trickery...Are these guards believers in lies and tricks? Aren't they loyal to the God of Death?"

This is simply a huge doubt, and it is far more difficult to explain than the previous doubts.

The fire of doubt in Verdo's heart was rekindled again.

But this time, he became far more cautious than before, far more cautious than before.

He first pretended to loudly rebuke the new "dead man" and insisted that this was the underworld controlled by Nakbet.

During this time, news spread that shocked the town after his death.

"Build a bridge to the Wilderness of Punishment, and you will be granted the gift of journey to the Peaceful Plains!"

Vali stood on a high platform, holding a parchment high, and announced to the dead in the town behind him.

For the small town after death, which had lived a rigid life for many years, this was a shock.

Life in the backwater suddenly became active. Almost all the people in this town were believers of the gods. They were familiar with the structure of the underworld. The so-called tranquil plain was the best place in the underworld besides the great plain.

Life there will not be as rigid as the Sighing Plain. People will no longer sigh all day long, but will usher in the beauty of tranquility. Poets often describe it as a beautiful pastoral life. It seems that as long as you go there, everyone can Enjoy the atmosphere of being a noble.

When the news came out, the dead were enthusiastic about it. They were eager to go to the Peaceful Plains, even if it meant working hard to build a bridge to the Wilderness of Punishment.

"Be thankful that the great Death will give you all a chance to build bridges as he feasts today."

Vali declared.

The so-called building of a bridge to the Wilderness of Punishment was actually a small trick and a trivial lie by Sleer.

The true purpose of the God of Lies and Trickery is to move all the "dead" to a new location by building a bridge to the Wilderness of Punishment.

As Slaier's spokesperson, Vali naturally knew this. He believed that he must seize the opportunity to let Verdo discover the lies of the posthumous town as soon as possible.

So, he pretended to be the new "dead man" again and asked Verdo about the scene in the outside world.

“What’s it like outside of town?”

"Verdot, is it possible that the paradise of your true believers is just outside this town?"

Valli's words immediately caught Verdo's attention.

Outside of town?

Verdo suddenly thought of something.

Yes,

All this time, no one had ever tried to go outside of the town because of the guards.

What is there outside of this small town?
Is it the deserted wilderness of the underworld, or... the door of heaven?
