On the Ark

Lin Ye felt a pain in the ass.

The thing that is most concerned about now... Lin Ye, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he really did.

"Well, you'd better ask someone to repair the stairs." Lin Ye said, "The stairs outside are very old, and I always feel like I'm going to fall if I'm not careful, even though you're a god...cough cough, But it’s better to fix it? It hurts to fall.”

Messiah opened his mouth slightly, and then smiled even wider.

"Okay."

Chapter 3 I Can Make You the Holy Man of Kjerag ([-]K)

Lin Ye had thought about many kinds of scenes when he met God before, but he never imagined that it would be like this, sitting side by side with God, looking at the snow-capped mountains and maple trees outside the hall, while chatting relatively comfortably.So here comes the question, why is his way of face-to-face different from other people's?

He was still a little nervous at first, but he became less nervous after chatting. In Lin Ye's opinion, the Messiah really didn't look like a god.Instead, it looks like the girl next door, but the kind of girl next door who has a lot of knowledge.

"Are you asking about the saint? Well, how should I put it, I have never asked anyone here to run for the saint." Messiah held a maple leaf in his hand, pinched his thumb and index finger at the end of the maple leaf, and slowly Turning, "Forget when it started, they said I can't live here alone, there should be someone to take care of me."

"And then there is the saint?"

"That's the prototype of a saint, because I don't think it's a good thing to be taken care of for free, so I gave some power to those girls who came to take care of me." Messiah tilted his head, "Then slowly, The girl who got my power was dubbed the title of 'Holy Maiden' by the local people and regarded as my spokesperson."

"Is that so..." Lin Ye was a little speechless, "I always feel that I have been over-interpreted by the locals."

"Over-interpretation?" Messiah thought for a moment, then nodded, "Your term is quite accurate."

"Then, the way of running for the saintess is also passed down from you?"

Messiah turned to look at Lin Ye, and smiled slightly: "You want to speak for those girls who died on the road, right?"

It was seen through so quickly... Lin Ye suspected that Messiah had mind reading skills.

"You man, I'm a god. Although I don't look like one, I'm still a god." Messiah's tone became more serious, "Look here."

Without Messiah's reminder, Lin Ye was also looking at her.I saw that Messiah slowly clenched the maple leaf in his fist, then exerted a little force, and when he opened his hand again, the maple leaf was no longer there.

Lin Ye's heart tightened, thinking that this is the Messiah warning him not to meddle in his own business?Think about it too, it is impossible for any god to accept others questioning the way he chooses his followers.Even Messiah, who looks harmless to humans and animals, is now using this maple leaf as a warning to Lin Ye. Anyone who dares to question her will be crushed to powder just like this maple leaf, leaving no bones left...

"Got it?" Messiah asked him.

Lin Ye took a deep breath, thinking about his own life, he nodded: "Understood, I..."

"Where did the leaf that disappeared on the right hand go? Dang Dang Dang Dang, the answer is in the left hand." Messiah showed his left hand to Lin Ye again, and saw that the disappeared maple leaf was lying on Messiah's body in the palm of his left hand.

Lin Ye: "..."

Messiah said proudly, "Isn't it amazing? I didn't use my divine power. It took me a long time to practice. Do you want to learn? I can teach you."

Lin Ye: "..."

Lin Ye didn't know if it was his own illusion. He felt that most of the people (including demons and gods) he met after he came to this world looked abnormal, and his painting style was obviously a bit off. , leaving him speechless.

"Haha, your expression is really interesting." Messiah smiled again, "It seems that my goal has been achieved."

"……What?"

"Okay, let's go back to the topic just now." Messiah put down the maple leaf, turned his head to look at the vast snow-capped mountains, and said softly, "Actually, I have always known that every few years or decades, when After the death of the old saintess, the people here will send many young girls to that dead end in order to run for the new saintess. They will also impose harsh conditions on them, causing many people to die halfway. On the way, I didn’t come here to see me, I know all of this.”

"Didn't you make those rules?"

"I'm not that kind of god." Messiah glanced at Lin Ye again, "Or, in your eyes, am I that kind of god?"

Feeling the crisis, Lin Ye repeatedly shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm just talking casually."

"Oh...forget it, anyway, people here probably think that I put forward the conditions for running for the saint, right? But in fact, it is not me. As long as the girl who can come to me, no matter how she came, I would like to see them and give them gifts." Messiah said, "But that's not acceptable, or in the eyes of the local people. They set the conditions for the election of the saint so harsh, but it's not for me. It's for themselves."

Lin Ye didn't quite understand: "Why do you say that?"

"If you want to survive in a place that is not suitable for living, you need a little faith." Messiah suddenly made a concluding speech.

Lin Ye was taken aback.

"Karan is not a place suitable for living. If it weren't for me being here, it would probably be the place most visited by natural disasters." Messiah said, "But even if I am here and help them suppress natural disasters, But it can’t change the fact that the environment here is still very bad. So if you want to live here, you need some of your own beliefs, or culture?”

"Their religion is you."

"Yeah, they believe in me, but that's not enough," Messiah said. "Honestly, I can help them do a lot of things. I can make their lives better than they are now. But that's really Is it right? Actually not, in that way, some of them will think that this is my charity to them, it is kindness. And kindness is the most unreliable, I can give them all these, and one day I can give them all Take it back."

Lin Ye thought for a while, and felt that what Messiah said made sense, so he nodded: "Then there are others?"

"Some people probably belong to the kind of heartless, think that all this is a gift from God, and then enjoy it all with peace of mind, but this kind of mentality is obviously not suitable in the natural environment of Karan. Living in harsh regions." Messiah said, "So these two kinds of people need an emotion called a sense of crisis. Only a sense of crisis can allow them to live well in Karan, do you understand?"

"I seem to understand a little bit." Lin Ye nodded.

Messiah sighed: "You are so stupid."

Lin Ye: "..."

"The people in Karan need my strength, but they can't completely rely on my strength." Messiah said, "In such a sense of crisis, they established their own culture. Although the core of their culture is me, but In fact, it has nothing to do with me. What I have to do is to suppress the natural disasters and give the title of "Saint" to the girl who has passed the test. I don't need to do anything else. I won't go There is no need to meddle in their culture, and the election for the saint is nominally related to me, but in fact it is also part of the Karan culture."

Lin Ye finally understood Messiah's explanation.To put it simply, the way of running for the saint is completely created by the Kjerag people themselves, and has nothing to do with the Messiah, the true God of Karan, and it can be said to be wishful thinking.And the reason why they did this, although Messiah didn't say it clearly, Lin Ye could see it.

It was to make the protection and power they received from the Messiah look more "justifiable".

It was not given to them by the Messiah, but by their own hard work and rigorous testing, and finally obtained the approval of the Messiah.This kind of thinking has allowed the Karan people to survive in this land, and it has been passed down to this day.To be honest, this was indeed a very inspirational act, but Lin Ye still felt sad for the girls who died in the ice field.It always feels like their sacrifices are unnecessary.

"You seem a bit unacceptable?" Messiah noticed Lin Ye's mood change.

"It's okay." Lin Ye said, "It's just that I saw a lot of corpses along the way, so I was a little emotional."
