Chapter 164: Long-exposed flaw
Chapter 164: Long-exposed flaw
“This is the place.” Yuesha’s footsteps stopped abruptly. In front of her stood a human-shaped stone sculpture. In its hands, it held an ancient golden book shining with holy light. Its whole body was also coated with a layer of sacred light, as if a god had come to the world in person.
"It's exactly this thing." Liu Mochen stared at the statue and whispered. Since he entered this secret place of practice, he has seen statues of the crucifixion of Jesus frequently, but this statue of the deity is unique.
At Yuesha's signal, Liu Mochen stretched out his hand to take the golden ancient book. Unexpectedly, when he touched it, the golden book suddenly emitted a brilliant light, and a warm and gentle force instantly enveloped his whole body.
At the same time, a gentle but sacred voice came from the air: "You are so lucky, a small mortal, to be able to see the Supreme, Almighty, Just, Holy, Faithful, and Merciful Me in a moment of your life. As the one destined by heaven, you will become a sacred lineage, shouldering the responsibility of saving the world. Let's get back to the point, are you willing to take on this great responsibility, become my descendant, and serve the Holy Light for the rest of your life?"
"You don't want to, retreat quickly!" Before Liu Mochen opened his mouth, Yue Sha's cold voice had already echoed, like cold water poured on his head. Liu Mochen fell from the clouds in an instant and became extremely sober.
When Liu Mochen came to his senses, the scene around him had changed. He and Yuesha were in a space surrounded by golden light. In front of them sat a blurry-looking golden child, sitting on a golden book.
“Eh, the one who triggered my magic circle is actually a demigod?” The golden child looked towards Yuesha with surprise.
"Since you are not here for the Holy Light, you must be here for the things I left behind in this world."
"What?" Yuesha rolled her eyes and said unhappily. She was not afraid of the golden boy, and she recognized at a glance that this was a trace of consciousness left by Jehovah in the world.
"What a pity." The golden boy sighed lightly, then turned to stare at Liu Mochen, and then exclaimed in surprise, with a bit of excitement in his tone.
"Young man, I see that you have extraordinary talent. Even if I travel through the stars, I still find people with your potential very rare. I have a copy of this book. If you can believe in the Holy Light, I will give it to you for free. What do you think?"
"Why does this sound so familiar?" Liu Mochen stared at the golden boy with a strange look in his eyes. "What is your relationship with that old devil Mephisto?"
"Mephisto!" The golden boy was startled when he heard that, then smiled helplessly and said, "I have nothing to do with him. In fact, I am Mephisto's old enemy. We are in a business dispute."
"But please rest assured, I am not Mephisto. I disdain to cheat or deceive. The way of trading is equal exchange. I will give you as much power as the believers you bring."
"Was Jesus like this in the past?" Liu Mochen asked tentatively, secretly feeling that this "God" seemed to have lost some of his superior aura.
"Take this book, and you can become my agent in this world like Jesus. When you get tired and have accumulated enough merits, I will open the gate of heaven and welcome your soul into paradise." The golden boy patiently explained. In fact, Jehovah was helpless. How could he easily give up his life as a charlatan? However, he was exposed by Yuesha, so he had to take out the real benefits. Jehovah sighed secretly. Times have changed. It was much easier to deceive Jesus in the past than it is today. Just two sentences made him burst into tears and happily agreed.
"What should we do specifically?" Liu Mochen asked.
"It's easy. Just hold this book, concentrate, and call Holy Light your father." The golden boy paused and added, "However, there are many fatherless creatures in the universe, so if you call Holy Light your mother, you can also be called the Son of Holy Light."
Liu Mochen: “…”
Have I encountered a false god? Is this MLM brainwashing just an illusion?
"I'm sorry, it seems you have no intention of becoming a child of Holy Light." The golden boy observed his expression and understood his heart. "I am the Lord of Holy Light. The knowledge and power contained in this original scripture can only be used by those who believe in Holy Light."
“My purpose is not superficial. I aim to use this book to get a glimpse of your way and verify my way.” Yuesha said solemnly.
"In that case, I will give this original classic to you." The golden boy appeared very generous as he waved his hand.
"Really?" Yuesha didn't take the book, but frowned. "Jehovah values fair trade the most. I don't believe you are giving it away for free."
"This is part of the deal, a deal about something else." The golden boy smiled mysteriously. "I also know a little about prophecy. When I left this world many years ago, I had a premonition that one day someone would come. Although I did not expect the demigod and the young man with extraordinary potential to reject the Holy Light, I knew that in the sequel to the prophecy, you brought this original scripture to help me with my great cause, so the deal is fair."
"In that case, the deal is done." After pondering for a moment, Yuesha's eyes flashed, and she resolutely took the original classic.
At the same time, the golden space was shaking constantly. As an independent small world, it naturally collapsed after losing its core.
"I am sincerely sorry. In order to keep this divine consciousness alive, I have created this special mirror space. I hope I don't disturb you." With the apologetic voice of the golden boy, Liu Mochen and Yuesha returned to their original place.
"Already out?" Liu Mochen looked around, his eyes falling on the golden scroll in Yuesha's hand again. "What did God mean by the last words?"
"I don't understand either. Jehovah attaches great importance to fairness, and what he mentioned should not be a trivial matter." Yuesha shook her head.
"In that case, go back first. Otherwise your illusion will be exposed for too long." After Liu Mochen finished speaking, he left with Yuesha.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, Liu Mochen frowned, and the smell of gunpowder filled his nose. Not far away, several ascetic monks were fighting a pair of winged demons. The monks were wounded and the situation was critical. Some demons abandoned the monks and surrounded the two after noticing Liu Mochen and Yuesha.
"Maybe I have understood the so-called small problem." Liu Mochen murmured to himself.
