After get off work, start speeding through another world

Chapter 179: It Seems Like an Incorrect World
"It's different from the description of the creation of the world recorded by the omniscient god." Ximu withdrew his hand that was stroking the mural, "The humans here only encountered the omniscient god after they developed to a certain level."

In the game setting of Mysterious God, there is no such thing as gods being born before humans. On the contrary, the concept of gods only came into being after the emergence of human civilization.

However, this world is different from the reality that needs to develop gradually. After the advent of the omniscient god, civilization has undergone a superhuman transformation, ignoring the process of technological accumulation and resource limitations. Civilization no longer needs humans to develop and accumulate on their own.

Instead, it is obtained by praying to the gods.

"Isn't the omniscient God the creator?" Suna pursed her lips. When she was a child, she had thought about whether this world had already existed and was not created by the omniscient God at all, but history was tampered with by the original omniscient God.

But later she forced herself to abandon this doubt. Having such thoughts was a very dangerous thing. However, seeing the content on the mural now reminded her of the doubts she had as a child.

"The being on the mural may not necessarily be the omniscient god, right?" The white-haired wife separated from Suna's body and reached out to touch the stone wall. "Maybe it's just an apostle sent by the omniscient god, not the omniscient god himself."

"That's possible." Suna nodded slightly. If the omniscient god created the world and arranged for apostles to guide humans, it could explain everything in the murals.

"Moreover, the Omniscient God is the only god that cannot be looked at directly. No one has ever known what the Omniscient God looks like." The white-haired wife added, "We also have no way to identify the being in the mural as the Omniscient God."

All gods have physical forms, definite appearances and genders, except for the Omniscient God, who has no definite form or gender. Whether it is the statues in churches or the descriptions in books, there is not a single description of the Omniscient God. It only mentions that the Omniscient God cannot be looked at directly.

"It's very simple to know if he is the omniscient god." Ximu turned his head and happened to meet Eden's eyes. Their sights overlapped into a line, and then they moved away tacitly, without discussing this topic in depth.

Suna, who was standing nearby, had a conflicted expression on her face. This matter involved the secret of the omniscient god, and it could be confirmed immediately if Akhtar and Eden exchanged a few words. However, Akhtar and Eden just exchanged glances and tacitly dropped the topic, which made her feel like her heart was being tickled by a cat.

Even the three goddesses of fate behind the scenes cast their eyes on her, hoping to learn the secret information of the omniscient god through Eden.

But these two people just didn't talk about it.

"…What on earth is this?" A sudden cry of surprise attracted the attention of everyone in the cave. The white-haired wife was seen standing at the exit of the cave with her hands covering her mouth. She seemed to be extremely shocked by everything in the outside world.

Ximu quickened his pace and came to the side of the white-haired wife. The first thing that caught his eye was a tree. Its vast branches covered the sky and spread towards the end of the world. The glittering branches and leaves cast brilliant light instead of the sun.

Under the tree are rows of buildings, built with the tree as the center and spreading out. Looking closely, there are many humans wearing gray cloth, approaching the tree with one step and one knocking.

"Is that the Tree of Omniscience?" Suna asked, her eyes subconsciously falling on Eden. Although she had never seen the Tree of Omniscience, Eden must know whether the big tree covering the world is the Tree of Omniscience.

"It's not a good thing to know too much." The white-haired wife shook her head slightly. Even though she was just a dragon, she knew that knowing too many secrets was not a good thing.

Upon hearing this, Suna withdrew her gaze and suppressed her curiosity. She knew that what the white-haired lady said made a lot of sense.

And right now.

"There is a door to the bottom of hell on the tree." Eden pointed his slender finger at the big tree at the end of the field of vision.

"Understood." Ximu subconsciously stroked the ring, as if intending to summon out the mare, but suddenly gave up.

He knew that Eden would not stop him from summoning the filly, but he also knew that Eden had the ability to take him directly to the Tree of All-Knowing instead of taking them to the cave and seeing the murals on the cave.

Since Eden said that deliberately and didn't take him directly to the tree, he naturally hoped that he could visit the secret layer of hell in person.

……

...

Shortly after.

On the way to the All-Knowing Canopy.

"Have you also received the God's blessing?" A man blocked the crowd's way, his face revealing jealousy, "Why can believers like you who have no sincerity receive the God's blessing?"

Ximu asked as usual: "Who are you?"

"Leviathan, God's most loyal believer." The man said his name proudly, and then his expression turned cold again:

"You ran straight to the treetops, neither kneeling nor praying. Don't you think highly of the gods?"

"Why should we kneel and pray?" Ximu asked back, and Leviathan answered as a matter of course.

"Of course it is to show sincerity, so that we can obtain the grace of God. The more sincere we pray and pray, the more grace we can obtain from God."

"How foolish." Ximu replied coldly, looking at Leviathan's stunned expression, "That's just your self-touching. What if the condition for obtaining the gift is not to show piety?"

"This is impossible!" Leviathan waved his hand. In the hundred years since the gods came, people have been praying to the gods in this way. The more pious people are, the more likely they are to receive blessings. This is their own experience.

"You are such a self-indulgent licker." Ximu's expression turned cold, and he said to Leviathan, "After investing so many self-indulgent rituals, if you still can't get the favor of the gods, I'm afraid you will collapse on your own, right?"

He laughed sarcastically.

"In fact, you know it very well in your heart. You keep hurting yourself and giving to yourself, and you think that the gods should respond. Is this what you really think in your heart?"

Leviathan's expression twisted instantly, but he couldn't refute it immediately because no one had ever said that before.

Ximu ignored Leviathan's distorted expression and continued on his journey with everyone else.

This guy blocks the road to pay homage to the gods every day. If anyone does not kneel devoutly enough or makes the slightest mistake in the wording of the prayer, he will immediately step forward to discipline and curse them.

And this is not because Leviathan loves God so much, it is purely because he wants to inflict his own suffering completely... no, he wants to double it on others. If someone suffers less than himself, he will feel jealous and unwilling.

A very boring guy, who is essentially a tool for players to deepen their understanding of the Omniscient God.

Logically speaking, there was no need to respond, but everything he said was not to Leviathan, but to Eden beside him.

"There are so many lazy people on the roadside." Suna whispered while observing both sides of the road. What caught her eyes most were not the praying people, but the lazy people lying motionless on the roadside. They just looked at the praying people who were going to pay homage to the gods, but they were too lazy to move, as if they had lost the meaning of living.

"They're not so lazy that they don't need to eat, are they?"

"God can eliminate hunger." Eden answered calmly. For her, the concept of eliminating hunger was very easy, and for the omniscient God, it was even simpler. It was nothing more than giving his people the gift of basking in the sun to survive. "Won't they be bored?" Suna asked again, and Eden shook her head slightly, looking at a man who was dreaming on the side of the road, holding a stone bench and thrusting his lower body.

Suna immediately understood why people would not be bored. If you don’t have to worry about hunger in real life and can satisfy your needs in dreams, then it would indeed be more comfortable to be a lazy person all the time.

But she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

This world... no, it is this secret hell layer, as if it has fallen into a state of death. Apart from making requests to the gods in the treetops, the rest of the world is immersed in its own world.

"There's no point in discussing this." Ximu shook his head and quickened his pace as he ran towards the treetops. He only needed to take a look at the status here to trigger a private conversation with Eden late at night. Now the conditions had been met.

Then he has no interest in staying here any longer.

Everything that happens in this secret hell layer is a replay of the past. If you explore it carefully, you can obtain a lot of secret information about the Omniscient God, as well as many interesting NPC characters, such as Lucifer, the god who most admires the Omniscient God but also opposes him the most.

There is also Beelzebub, who keeps eating and later even wants to gnaw on the Tree of Omniscience, and Mammon, who wants to gain all the favors of the gods.

If it were the first or second round, he would be very interested in exploring the secret layer of hell, and would be able to trigger a large number of dialogues with Eden, thereby quickly raising Eden's favorability to a certain level.

However, players who have been exploring the Secret Hell layer for too long usually don't want to take the Lord of Ashes route, and instead try their best to defeat the All-Knowing God without burning the trees.

after a while.

Everyone successfully arrived at the foot of the Tree of Omniscience, and saw an open heavy stone door with an aisle built right next to the edge of the Tree of Omniscience.

The believers knelt every three steps and ran towards the crown of the all-knowing tree.

In this era, believers in God do not need to worry about hunger, lifespan, or disease. The omniscient and omnipotent God will be able to come and bestow unimaginable blessings on people.

Everyone can go to the crown of the tree through the Omniscient Tree and have the opportunity to meet the gods, and everyone can equally receive the grace of the gods.

"A stranger I've never seen before." A lively and slightly curious voice came from behind the door. A girl wearing a white long dress, several golden bracelets on her wrists and a very lively expression appeared.

And her appearance was exactly the same as Eden's.

Ximu subconsciously turned his head and looked at Eden beside him, and found that she lowered her head and pulled down her gray cloak to hide her face.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"According to what they say, you must be a messenger of God." The girl smiled lightly, came close to Ximu, and sniffed gently, "You have my scent on you."

she asked curiously.

"You are from the future, right?"

"..." Ximu was silent for a moment and looked at the illusion of Eden beside him. This was not Eden himself, but the collective memory of Eden by people of that era, which led to the illusion.

"I didn't expect you to be so lively."

"Will my future self not be lively?" the girl asked doubtfully, and Ximu thought about it and said:

"She seldom smiles and is always quiet, as if there is something unhappy that is pent up in her heart."

The girl blinked and deliberately prolonged her voice, "You know me well about my future self."

"Who makes us lovers?" Ximu's casual answer surprised the girl and she widened her beautiful eyes. She quickly glanced at Eden who was wearing a cloak. She seemed to know who Eden was, but did not point it out deliberately.

"After so many years, this isn't surprising, is it?" Ximu said as if joking, ignoring the condemning look that Eden was giving him.

It was a rare opportunity to tease Eden, and it would be a pity if he gave up. Eden always remained calm, so it was inevitable that he wanted people to see his emotional fluctuations.

"Really?" The girl smiled and stepped aside. "Let me make it clear in advance that I am not the person you know. She has always been alive, and the Secret Hell Layer has no way to record any memory of her."

She raised her hand and gently brushed the hair away from her ears.

"If the person you know is as lively and cute as me, you should ask me."

"Yeah." Ximu nodded, brushed past the girl, and ran towards the crown of the tree of omniscience.

The girl stood there, looking at the people passing by her, then she sighed softly, her delicate face showing a hint of loneliness.

She was actually quite curious about what kind of woman the real incarnation of the Tree of Omniscience was, but since she didn't want to meet her.

Then she couldn't force it.

……

...

The Tree of Omniscience of this era is not as omnipresent as it will be in later generations. Although it is already so magnificent that it is unimaginable, it still stands tall in the world.

This also means that civilization must coexist with the Tree of All-Knowing, relying on the Tree of All-Knowing to build houses and corridors, as well as various elevators, as if they were parasites clinging to the trunk of the Tree of All-Knowing.

The closer you get to the treetops, the more believers there are. Many believers, holding children in their arms, bring their families to pay homage to the gods, blocking the entire road. Everywhere you look, there are densely packed heads, as if it were a river made up of countless heads, giving you a feeling of suffocation.

Fortunately, Ximu never intended to queue up honestly, and flew directly into the temple with everyone else.

"God is not here." Suna stood in the temple that seemed to be made of gold, looking at the empty throne. Only believers were kneeling in front of the throne, speaking of their wishes and expressing their inner piety.

This scene feels very strange.

"They are just praying to the gods in their hearts. It doesn't matter whether the gods are there or not." Ximu came to the center of the Golden Temple and asked Eden beside him as if jokingly, "What will happen if I sit down?"
