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

Chapter 212 Approaching the Gods (Thirty-four)

"So you have gained salvation through your belief in the so-called Earth Mother?" The old priest, whose face looked older but whose mind was becoming more and more flexible, asked, "Just because I want you to know that you are just a fake person?"

The words are sharp and hit directly at the heart without any concealment.

He was just transferring the mental shock that Liu Sheng had just inflicted on him to Fuxiao.

Fortunately, the Dawn Priest had known about this for a long time. He looked at Liu Sheng and slowly said, "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. I don't care anymore. As long as I exist now, I am real."

"The Earth Mother Priest at least told me the truth, letting me know that what I was struggling with and doubting about was indeed true. I no longer lived in a false self-deception. She also gave me the ability to think. From that time on, I was alive and I was redeemed."

"Now I have a new life. I don't know how long it will last... but at least now, I cherish every inch of my life."

The Dawn Priest spoke seriously, with tears in his eyes.

Liu Sheng gently patted the Dawn Priest's hand to comfort him.

The Dawn Priestess smiled bleakly in response, recalling the moment that truly marked her awakening.

She was cleaning the temple and doing her routine homework.

Suddenly, a little girl's voice was heard in the temple.

"Aunt, what are you doing?"

The Dawn Priest looked back and saw that it was the new arrival, Song Yanran's daughter Xiaoya. Her mother came to the city for training, so she brought her daughter with her and they were staying in the temple.

She noticed that the little girl didn't even have a proper name, and seeing the innocent face of the little girl, her heart couldn't help but soften a little.

"I'm packing up the offerings."

As he spoke, his men worked non-stop, removing the fruits and vegetables that had wilted overnight and replacing them with new ones.

"Auntie, why do you have to clean up?"

“Because God wants to eat it fresh.”

"But... I haven't eaten anything fresh for a long time..." The little girl was drooling at the food on the altar.

The Dawn Priest felt a little distressed. He took out a fruit that looked good, wiped it with his sleeve, and handed it to the little girl.

Although this is not quite against the rules, as long as Xiaoya is happy.

The little girl was indeed very happy. While eating, she pestered the Dawn Priest to listen to stories.

The Dawn Priest smiled rarely, touched her little head, and felt even more joy in his heart.

An inexplicable thought also arose.

I really want to have such a lovely daughter.

But then came the confusion: why did I love children so much, but end up alone and not becoming a mother?
Although she vaguely knew that her memory said that she was determined to devote herself to the Supreme God, so she chose this path.

But she always felt that this reason was floating in the air and did not sink into her heart.

This feeling of disharmony was becoming more and more obvious, and she could no longer ignore it.

She began to have thoughts that did not seem to belong to this body, as if she was growing up all over again.

Later, she also discovered clues that Liu Sheng was not a follower of the Supreme God. To call it a clue is an understatement, because in fact it was too obvious.

But after thinking about it for a night, she decided to follow her inner thoughts and chose to follow Liu Sheng's path.

Although this road is not covered by divine light, does not have flowers all over the ground, and no gods descend from above, from time to time, people are covered in dust and sweat from repairing houses for people to live in, and they also have to cook for the busy craftsmen and work around the stove.

This road is full of unknowns and is no longer a set trajectory.

But, this is what it means to be alive.

This was a strange thought of hers.

……

The old priest listened to the incomprehensible but inexplicably moving words of the Dawn Priest, as well as the serious look on his face, and something in his heart trembled.

Every time he saluted, he would clench his fist and press it against his left chest, as if he was keeping the Supreme God in his heart.

But it seemed that his heart had never really existed until this moment. He unconsciously pressed his hand to his left chest, feeling the beating beneath his skin.

Again and again, like beating a drum.

No, he didn't even know what real drumming looked like.

A bitter smile appeared on the old priest's face.

But he could no longer change, as his belief in the Supreme God constituted his foundation.

Only then did he realize that he was such a being, a guide, a supervisor... a watchdog.

[He is special, he is the Supreme God's backup, he is the anchor that the Supreme God left here, so don't try to shake him.] The world also reminded in a cold voice.

【I know. 】

[There is a piece in his code that cannot be modified, just like there are some modules in this copy that I cannot modify, because these modules determine the skeleton of this illusion. If I really forcefully modify them, the illusion will probably collapse.]

Liu Sheng understood, and also noticed that the emotion on the old priest's face gradually faded, and he slowly put down his hand that was feeling his heartbeat.

【So, I had to do that.】

She had already made up her mind, but she still had to ask a routine question: "You know I'm going to kill you, right?"

The old priest nodded: "I know, from the moment you came in."

"You will regret it. Without me, you will lose." He pulled a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

"But will you help me? If I don't kill you?" Liu Sheng asked.

"But will you change your faith if I help you?" the old priest asked in the same way.

The two smiled at each other and knew each other's answer.

So, there's nothing more to say.

The Dawn Priest watched from the side, silently clenched his hands, and felt sad in his heart.

……

After leaving the basement, Liu Sheng wiped the blood-stained holy sword and put it back into the sheath.

"Priest Mother Earth, what should we do next?" Priest Dawn was a little confused. "Is what he said true? Will you lose?"

Liu Sheng shook his head: "I won't lose."

"But what exactly is he talking about? I feel like he's hiding something..."

"Yes, he has some information that he has kept secret, but he will never tell you."

"So, what are you going to do?"

“What I’m going to do…”

At this time, they happened to walk to the patio, and then the Dawn Priest saw that the High Priest stopped talking halfway through his speech, and just looked up at the square night sky framed in the patio, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Let's eat first? The food should be ready in the kitchen?" Then Liu Sheng came back to his senses and asked with a smile.

The Dawn Priest was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes, I have just given the order. It should be done by now."

She sensed that the lights in the kitchen were on and many priests and craftsmen were sitting in the cafeteria enjoying dinner.

Then she nodded definitively: "Yes, indeed."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng hurriedly walked a few steps faster and urged, "Why don't you hurry up! What's the saying about not being enthusiastic about eating?"

"I think you once said, High Priest, that if someone is not active in eating, there is something wrong with his brain." The Dawn Priest said hesitantly.

"Awesome, you remember it clearly!"

"Because... I think it makes sense..."
