The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 210 Approaching the Gods (Part )

"It's my fault. I didn't expect you to have such means."

Liu Sheng saw that the old priest's messy white hair covered his face and his expression could not be seen clearly. He just remained silent and did not look up at her, so she took the initiative to speak to break the silence.

The subtext was self-evident, but the old priest remained indifferent. He still sat with his head down, leaning weakly against the wall, just rubbing his sore knees silently.

Liu Sheng did not sympathize with him and continued to ask: "Just because our beliefs are different, you have to use such means? Introducing such power, even though you know that this power can kill people?"

When the word "killing" was mentioned, the hunched figure trembled, and a weak voice sounded faintly against the wall.

"Are they... okay?"

"Fortunately, the villagers were evacuated in time and most of them were safe. But two people died: Li Guiping and Zhang Yuemei. They were both good farmers and had hoped to start a new life in Liantang Village."

Liu Sheng's tone was very calm, but to the old priest, it sounded as heavy as a thousand pounds.

“I… I didn’t know it would be like this…” The old priest covered his face with his wrinkled hands, choking with sobs.

"Did you not know that you would attract such a being when you reported to the Supreme God?"

"I don't know, I thought it was just a punishment from God..." As he explained stutteringly, the old priest became weaker and weaker.

"You thought it was just a punishment for me, but now you know that God's punishment is to bring in strange creatures to destroy my faith value." Liu Sheng asked coldly, "Now, do you regret it?"

The old priest was silent for a long time, and the darkness in the basement spread over him, as if it was about to drag him into the darkness.

"No regrets." After an unknown amount of time, these three words sounded faintly.

Liu Sheng was not surprised by this answer. He nodded, no longer hesitating, as if he had made a decision.

But surprisingly, the old priest seemed to have made up his mind and decided to tell everything that he had buried in his heart for these days.

"I don't regret it, because what you believe in is not the Supreme God at all, and your so-called missionary work is not really for the Supreme God."

The old priest said in one breath, then took a breath and continued speaking in an excited tone.

"In this case, you are a heretic, and those who follow you are also heretics. It is reasonable for the Supreme God to punish and purge the heretics."

"Come to think of it, when I discovered that you had modified the sacred book and became a heretic, I wanted to kill you, but you took the initiative and imprisoned me."

Looking back, he was still moved and proud to have such an outstanding young priest.

Until one day, he came into contact with a new priest who came to the temple to worship. After reading the divine book in the new priest's hand, he realized that something was wrong.

"You replaced all the words about the Supreme God with something like Mother Earth... You are so bold."

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "To preach, it is better to be more comprehensive and careful. I just have some experience and a very good teacher."

"Who?"

"Well... a senior named Tang."

The divine book is a special prop, and Liu Sheng was originally worried that he couldn’t modify it.

Fortunately, the world that has gradually gained power has realized that replacing specific words about God does not affect the prop effect of the Book of God, because its effect comes from some interlocking codes, and it will work as long as the God pointed to by the Book of God is real.

"If I had been able to kill you then, the current situation of the city being filled with heretics wouldn't have happened..."

The old priest said this with some regret. "What are you regretting?" Liu Sheng suddenly asked, "Are you regretting that the Supreme God has lost the faith of this city? Or are you regretting that your mission cannot be completed?"

After a pause, he said, "Are you sure that the one you believe in is really the Supreme God?"

Hearing this last sentence, the old priest was suddenly shocked all over. He suddenly raised his disheveled face and looked at Liu Sheng fiercely with his eyes hidden under his hair.

"What... do you mean?" Although his eyes were fierce, the old priest's voice was trembling and he seemed a little panicked.

"You have discovered it, right?" Liu Sheng said calmly, "You can't explain why you believe in the Supreme God, nor can you say when you started believing. You don't even know when you became a high priest. You don't know what your life was like before you became a high priest."

"I, I, I..." The old priest's dry and chapped lips trembled, and he was unable to utter a word. These words shattered the logical circuits in his body.

However, this time the protection mechanism was not triggered - the bug that prevented them from thinking deeply.

Liu Sheng silently gave a thumbs up to the world in his heart.

[Deep thinking and the pursuit of truth are the beginning of humanity. Simulated thinking does not count. I have a deep understanding of this.] The world that unlocked the last lock for the old priest said so.

The old priest tried hard to recall, but found that his past was like a mirage. He had no real experience, only some memories that he thought existed.

He had never really thought about the fact that he had no parents, no childhood, and no middle age. It was as if he had skipped all the years and entered his eighties directly.

My lungs are not in good condition and I am always coughing. My legs and feet are not in good condition and my knees hurt when it rains.

I talk a lot and always want to say something as a person who has experienced it.

This is him, an old man who is afraid of getting hurt if he falls.

As for why he became a priest, was promoted to senior priest, and came to this strange and unfamiliar city, he had no idea.

"Why is this happening?" The old priest tried his best to recall, as if he was trying desperately to catch the moon's shadow in the water with his hands, but the broken moon shadow kept flowing through his fingers and he couldn't catch a single bit.

But he had a vague feeling that this kind of thinking had happened before, but it always ended in nothing.

"You discovered it, but you can't really think about it. All this is thanks to the Supreme God you believe in." Liu Sheng pointed out mercilessly.

"I don't understand what you are talking about." The old priest said stubbornly with his neck stiff.

"Looking at your expression, you obviously already know it, why are you still pretending not to know?" Liu Sheng couldn't help but shook his head when he saw the old priest's cowardly look.

"Why pretend? Yes, why? If it were you, and you suddenly found out that everything was fake, how would you respond?" The old priest's disguise was directly exposed by Liu Sheng. Veins on his neck popped out and he screamed sharply.

At this moment, he no longer coughed after speaking a few words, and his voice was not as old as before, as if he was slowly moving away from his original personality.

"If it were me, I would not follow the arrangement. I would try my best to break free from all designs and face my creator face to face." Liu Sheng said calmly.

The old priest snorted coldly: "Then what can you do?"

"It depends on my experience. If I have suffered injustice, I will question it; if my life is wonderful, I will express my gratitude." Liu Sheng thought for a moment and answered seriously, "In short, I hope to know the truth, at least to understand the purpose, intention, and idea of ​​the design, at least to know what the original intention of my existence is."

"Humph, the original purpose of my existence is to guide you." The old priest said angrily, "This is the Supreme God's kindness to you. I hope you can gain more faith. In the end, how do you repay it?"

"But is the faith I have gained real?" Liu Sheng asked back, "According to the path you designed, think about it, is it real?"

This sentence confused the old priest again.
