Chapter 431: The Evil Spirit and the Dream Ghost

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Gao Ming originally thought that if he didn't touch those turbid and dirty thoughts, he could get through this memory safely. But he soon discovered a problem. Those turbid and dirty thoughts did not belong to the future god, but came from the living people who were tortured by fate.

For those who cannot change their fate, faith and God become their safe haven. This is not an excuse to escape, but a self-persuasion in desperation.

The more those thoughts were integrated, the more the karma and desires of all beings gathered, and Gao Ming's sight was gradually no longer limited to this haunted house. The eyes of every believer were his eyes.

It was at this moment that Gao Ming discovered that he was not in reality. This was a village built deep in the shadows. Except for some places near the village, negative emotions from the real world were deposited everywhere. All kinds of strange things were born in it, and the earth was wrapped in thick fog that lasted for a long time.

There are old and dilapidated buildings everywhere. There are no stars, moon or sun in the sky, only huge suspended ruins and temples of evil gods that exude oppression. Only at noon on the day of each month when the yang energy is at its peak, can the villagers living here see their own sun - that is the real world reflected on the other side of the sky, where there is light and warmth, and even at night the lights are bright. There are no lingering negative emotions there, and the whole world is wrapped in kindness, and the deepest despair all falls into the shadows.

People in the villages and towns are eager to go to the world beyond the sky, but compared to this unattainable dream, living until tomorrow is more realistic.

"The future god was born in a gathering place for living people in the shadow world?"

The clay sculpture on the altar is smiling. It has integrated too many thoughts and manipulates the believers to realize their wishes in their own way.

Gao Ming did not choose to confront the clay sculpture head-on. After seeing this shadow world filled with despair, his heart was greatly shaken. He was thinking about a question: if he really dragged the world on the other side of the sky into the shadow world and let the two merge together, would it really be a good thing?

When fighting with other clay sculptures before, Gao Ming had seen nine blood cities in the shadow world. Each of the endless blood-colored cities connected to the sky had a master, and each of them seemed to have different ideas.

Some people want to merge the real world and the shadow world, and share the despair and pain together; some people try to keep the reality worry-free and do their best to maintain the status quo; others are even more radical, ready to throw all the despair and negative emotions into reality, and reverse the situations of the shadow world and reality.

Everyone's perspective on things is determined by their own growth experience. They all think that they are doing the right thing, and the others in the Blood City are just being swept forward.

As for this small village that will be protected by God in the future, it does not even have the qualifications to speak. It is already very difficult for the living people gathered here to survive.

"The living in the shadow world..."

Despair is deposited in the shadow world. New evil spirits appear every day and crazy poor people can be seen everywhere.

This was the first time Gao Ming looked at the shadow world from this perspective. It was like a patient covered in pus. It was tortured to madness by despair, but it instinctively struggled to survive and was unwilling to die.

This world is just like every living person living on this land. However, unlike the shadow world, those living people at least have faith to rely on. The God of the Future is the hope that supports everyone in this small village to survive. The longing for the future from the bottom of their hearts becomes the source of power for the God of the Future.

Gao Ming also discovered this. The more wishes he fulfilled, the stronger his wish power became, making it easier for him to change his destiny.

The will accommodates billions of thoughts. Two wills, Gao Ming and Future God, appeared in the haunted house, but their ways of realizing their wishes were completely different. Gao Ming did not use killing and cursing to end the hatred brutally, because this would bring new hatred. He used his own will to bear the resentment and pain in exchange for a bit of clarity for the believers, allowing them to gradually adapt to the shadows and disasters.

The believers of Gao Ming did not fight for the limited shelter in the villages and towns. He guided the courage and wisdom deep in the hearts of the living, summarized the dangers and rules deep in the shadows, and at the cost of a large number of deaths and injuries, some of the believers were successfully branded with ghost patterns.

Knowing the nature of the future God, or the high destiny of humanity, the believers were not asked to open up new villages and towns right away, but were asked to strengthen themselves as much as possible, and then persuade those disobedient wanderers after they had absolute strength.

The believers in the villages gradually split into two factions. One group was the believers with high destiny. They were fewer in number and had strong rationality. Although they retained their humanity in their hearts, they were branded with ghost patterns and their bodies were constantly alienating, so they looked hideous and terrifying.

The other group is the believers of the future god. They are numerous and pray for miracles every day. They constantly dedicate their faith to the clay sculptures in the hope of gaining hope for tomorrow.

The contradiction between the two sides continued to deepen as time went by, resulting in a fierce conflict. The haunted house was destroyed, a large number of believers died, and eventually the believers of Gao Ming occupied the village, and the believers of the future god left with the clay sculpture.

Without the interference of the future god, Gao Ming felt much more relaxed. He seemed to have completely entered into the perspective of God. He expanded the village, attracted wanderers, and was willing to accept ghosts. Gradually, this village became an outlier in the shadow world.

Ghost patterns are branded on people's bodies, and the humanity in the ghosts' hearts is slowly returning. Gao Ming is not the lord of the Blood City, but the villages and towns under his will are developing step by step.

Gao Ming has no way to change the despair of the entire world. He just wants to make himself a ray of hope. Perhaps by doing so, he can attract more people who may have hope, and this should be the meaning of the existence of future gods.

The population doubled rapidly, and Gao Ming was burdened with more and more curses and karma. Mottled holes appeared in his will. What made him even more uneasy was that somewhere deep in the shadows, the will of the Future God was growing. It continued to extract faith to strengthen itself, and its aura was getting closer and closer to the Future God in Changcheng Community!

Time is like an endless song. The villages and towns shrouded by the high will have become cities. Although not as spectacular as the Blood City, it has also become one of the recognized shelters in the shadow world. The subjects even built an eternal fire source similar to an artificial sun in the city.

Hope blooms in the shadow world, but the high will that has endured too many curses and karma has become dilapidated. It was originally as sharp as a knife, but now it is like a muddy rag. He is trying his best to fight against the ominousness on his body and has not opened his eyes for a long time.

The long river of memory flows slowly until another river converges. The will of the future god nurtured to the extreme begins to appear around the city. Over the years, it has attracted countless believers and finally restored the broken will.

"It's time for this dream to end..."
