only god

Chapter 563 Did you become Him, or did He become you?

The boundless sea of ​​souls.

Everything is very peaceful, and it seems that no matter what changes come to the outside world, the fairies here will live a carefree life with ample food and clothing.

After all, they are spiritual beings that feed on people's good thoughts, and there is no disease or lifespan. They have almost unlimited time, unless they choose to die.

And the queen who rules this country, the fairy Sophia, who has been recorded in thousands of legends and anecdotes, is frowning in this fairy country full of good intentions.

Unlike other goblins, the Queen is often worried. It is said that she spends more time worrying than a hundred goblins combined.

Although the truth of the rumors cannot be determined, at this moment, Sophia's face was indeed full of worry.

Sofia had not seen Silas for some time since her last conversation about the devil.

Calculating carefully, it seems to be nearly ten years.

Although for goblins and archangels, ten years is just a drop in the ocean, and it may pass by reading a book or sleeping, but it is the first time that an archangel has been away for ten years.

For this reason, Sophia frowned almost every day.

Panic spread in her heart. If a spark fell into the windy grassland on an autumn night, in just an instant, a long line of fire would be drawn under the night, and then the entire grassland would be engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

Even though she was uneasy about it, Sophia couldn't do anything. She couldn't leave the Sea of ​​Souls to follow Xilus's footsteps, not only because there were her people here, but also because Xilus didn't tell her where she had gone.

Under this situation, Sophia could only keep praying and wait patiently.

Having said that, although the entire goblin kingdom believes in the Lord in Heaven, Sophia does not have the habit of praying to God.

Mortals on the earth always have various rituals, such as morning prayers, evening prayers, salutes, etc. The goblin kingdom, where there is almost no birth, old age, sickness and death, is not so complicated. The situation is often that the goblins can pray however they want. As for the end, Which kind of prayer is more effective, maybe the former, maybe the latter, or maybe both, no one knows anyway.

But even among goblins, Sophia's prayers are extremely casual.

This queen does not pray every day. At most, she only mutters a few words occasionally, or sings a few hymns when she feels inspired. In the eyes of some true believers, this is not considered ungodly.

Why is this so?
In fact, even Sophia herself couldn't understand this.

Maybe she didn't have much faith in God in her heart, or maybe Silas was more like her god than the distant Lord.

And now, her god has been away from her for ten years.

In the past ten years, Sophia often read the "Book of Two Kings" and "The Second Prophet" of the Logos, and she still loved some of the sentences in them.

"In a way, I was in a similar situation to that group of Logos."

At the highest point of the Sea of ​​Souls, Sophia felt inspired and continued to look at the vast sea of ​​stars.

A white dot like fine sand appeared at the edge of the sky at some unknown time.

At first, Sophia didn't notice the white dot. Then, as the white dot got bigger and bigger, it turned into a ball of light. At this time, it was no longer possible to not pay attention. She took a closer look and found that the white dot was getting bigger and bigger, and it was moving at an extremely high speed. Heading towards the Sea of ​​Souls at a fast speed.

"Sillers."

Sofia screamed excitedly.

Just as she said, an archangel slowly descended to the highest point of the Sea of ​​Souls, and he returned to Sophia's sight.

"Sophia."

Silas said slowly.

Hearing this voice, the Fairy Queen fell into a trance.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but Silas's voice sounded much more indifferent than before.

It was as if the archangel in front of him was no longer a noble being who could walk in the secular world. It was as if half of his soul had been detached from the present and transformed into another more metaphysical concept.

Sofia slowly came back to her senses and asked involuntarily:
"What’s wrong with you?"

Silas replied:

"Nothing at all."

With that said, the archangel bent down, gently lifted Sophia, and put her on his shoulders.

Such a friendly gesture actually made Sophia shiver.

In the past, Xilus would never do this. In the past, he would fly to his shoulder every time.

When Sophia was puzzled, the archangel turned around and pointed out a corner of the earth to her.

There, amid the ice and snow, a towering tree stood abruptly.

"This is…?"

Sophia said confused.

"Sofia, I have a revelation for you."

As he said this, Schiles slowly said:

"Once upon a time, there was a righteous man who suffered many hardships and was punished..."

The archangel told Jon's story in an extremely ethereal voice.

"So...you turned him into a big tree?"

Sophia was shocked and said:

"Why...䱱..."

Schiller seemed to know what she would say,
"You want to say, I shouldn't do this?"

Sofia nodded with some difficulty, and then she added in a low voice:
"This is not... an act that an archangel should do, nor is it a miracle that a prophet should perform, this is more like... outright malice.

He begged you to free him...but you turned him into a tree. "

Schillers responded:

"What he's asking for is for me to put him out of his misery."

Sophia couldn't help but said urgently:
"No, it shouldn't be like that."

She didn't know why she was so anxious that she lost the dignity and manners a queen should have.

Although she didn't know the reason, her anxious feeling couldn't lie. She looked like she was trying her best to save something.

"It's okay if you don't understand. In future generations, someone will naturally understand it."

Schiles said unconcernedly:

"What I want to say, someone has to say it for me, and what I want to do, someone has to do it for me."

Sophia asked:

"So...what will those people say in the future?"

Silas then opened his mouth and said in a paraphrasing tone:
"[This is a spiritual admonishment.

When a righteous person performs righteousness on earth, there are many hardships, but his righteousness is ignored, and his eyes cannot see and his mouth cannot speak.

A beacon tower is ordinary, but a tree that witnesses a miracle can show God's mercy and justice.

Let him be turned into a tree, first of all by the will of God, and secondly by the will of a righteous man.

The beacon tower was originally a prison, and the wind and snow in the sky were originally hardships, but God raised a tree here. What He did to the righteous was to make flowers bloom in the barren sand.

At the same time, the righteous man gets what he wants. The righteous man puts all his meaning in the beacon tower of hardship, which just implies that we put all our faith in God. At first, we are as puzzled as the righteous man. The pain will still be enjoyable in the end.

The trees on the ground also indicate our harvest—witnessing miracles and reaching perfection.

After the righteous people witnessed the miracle, they stood as trees in the wind and snow, but the wind and snow did not stop. Many people wondered why the righteous people were free from pain. Even after the miracle, the suffering did not stop.

Little did they know that all this confirms the words of the scripture - I will see that he appears to be a righteous man, so I will test him with fire. ]"

…………

Sofia listened to Silas's narration. She looked up at the archangel. For some reason, the Silas in front of her felt both familiar and strange to her.

“I saw that he seemed to be a righteous man, so I tested him with fire.”

Sophia chased and said:

"I have never seen this sentence in any scripture!" The goblin's big library contains almost half of the world's books. As the goblin queen, Sophia knows every book in it by heart.

No matter which religious scripture it was in, Sophia had never seen such words.

I saw Schiles slowly saying:

"The book hasn't appeared yet, it's not the time yet."

From Schiles' words, Sophia captured the key.

That scripture hasn’t appeared yet, it’s not time yet…

Could it be said that Schiles saw the future scriptures?
But, but...

"Silus...what happened to you?

Did you...did you go to the future and see something? "

Sophia asked quickly.

The archangel slowly turned his head,
"I did go to the future.

At that time, the Sea of ​​Souls and the Holy Kingdom will merge into one, and fairies and angels will also gather together. "

The godlike ones are so calm.

Just like, God’s glory stands in the sky and will not be hidden.

Sophia gasped.

Silas... what exactly did he see?
Based on his own understanding, Schiles would not do anything like turning a person into a tree.

Not only will he not do it, but Silas will sit back and watch, no matter how much suffering the righteous suffer on earth.

Just as rain falls on the righteous, it also falls on the unjust. Whether it is the "Book of Mechanics" or the forty unknown classics, he dealt with it this way.

But now, Silas showed a miracle in a righteous man.

And the miracle was divine...and weird.

Thinking of this, Sophia quickly asked:
"What did you see in the future...?
Why have you changed so much? You wouldn't have been like this before...

It is as if you have betrayed yourself and God. "

Sophia's last words seemed to set off waves in Silas's heart.

The Archangel's eyes changed slightly, but quickly returned to their original state.

"you are wrong,

I neither betrayed myself nor God. "

The god-like person looks far into the distance, his gaze seems to be staring at the most distant place in the world,

"There I saw myself,
In this case, how can I say that I have betrayed myself?
There I saw the throne that God had made,

I sit on it and inherit the will of God. Have you ever heard of any recognized successor who rebelled against his father? "

The tone of the godlike person is not a defense, but a statement.

No matter what others think, he is stating the facts without sadness or joy.

Facing Silas's answer, Sophia was speechless for a moment.

Silas... sat on the throne created by God?

The impact of information is too great.

She froze in place, trying to sort out what Silas had said.

Sofia couldn't understand what was happening.

She tried to calm down, tried not to panic so much.

After a while, she roughly figured out the context.

Silas met his future self in the future, and that future self sat on the throne created by God, inherited God's will, and became a god.

From this point of view... what Schiles said was not wrong. He did not betray himself, nor did he betray God.

Yes, Silas is an archangel, so how could he do something treacherous?
However, for some reason, Sophia was still flustered.

This panic was like those dwarf gold and silver clans facing a complicated steam engine.

Sophia was a little unwilling and said whimsically:
"You said you saw yourself,

What if...that person isn't you?Is He really you?If it were you, has He truly made it clear to you? "

As soon as she finished speaking, Sophia felt a little regretful.

As an archangel, Silas possesses unimaginable power, but I am just his creation, a little goblin. How can I be sure that that person is not Silas?
As expected, Sophia's words did not cause any waves in Silas.

Silas slowly turned his head and glanced at Sophia.

Sophia was stunned for a moment.

There was no sneer in that gaze, but pity.

A wise man looks at a fool with pity.

Normally, Silas would not look at him with such pity.

He seems...different from me...

He became... more like... a god...

"You don't understand what I'm going to do."

The godlike person said slowly.

That tone is so like the God on the throne.

Sofia couldn't tell whether in the future, God would descend on the archangel, or if the archangel... would ban God.

Silas slowly lowered the Fairy Queen from his shoulders, and then left the highest point of the Sea of ​​Souls step by step.

Sophia opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but finally stopped talking until Silas' figure disappeared from her sight.

What did the Fairy Queen want to say just now?

The changes in Silas were so great that they were unfamiliar to her.

Therefore, she wanted to ask:

“If He is you in the future, then do you become Him, or does He become you?”

But she finally stopped and didn't ask. No matter what she wanted to say, it was all nonsense and the whims of a fool.

After all, the world in the eyes of a wise man is different from the world in the eyes of a fool.

Even if Sophia really asked,
They will all be drowned in that pityful gaze.

Sophia stayed alone at the highest point of the Sea of ​​Souls for a long time.

It took so long that the goblins risked being scolded and came to the highest place to look for her.

The Fairy Queen still didn't leave. She seemed to be thinking about something and imagining something.

Facing Schiles like this, Sophia decided that she must do something... she couldn't let it go on like this... she had to stop him.

She doesn't think about whether what she does is wrong, nor does she think about the consequences of what she does.

You must find a way yourself...

Establish contact with those archangels and let them know what Silas looks like today.

The seeds of determination were buried in the soil.
