Chapter 414: four hundred and twelve

Chapter 414 Chapter 412·“The Immortal God of the City on the Clouds.”

Although I have already guessed the identity of the god,

But when he really saw the eyes that were exactly the same as his own, Su Mingan still felt the coldness rising from his tailbone.

As if he was being targeted by the world, endless malice surrounded him, like sea water irrigating his consciousness.

 “The immortal **** of the city above the clouds—!”

Looking at those dark golden eyes that were exactly the same as his, Su Mingan suddenly laughed.

“It seems that I guessed it right—the immortal **** of Praia? You really played a ‘big game’!”

 He is proud of his speculation.

Perhaps, he was also feeling sad for Su Lin's behavior.

The sky is bathed in divine light.

Under the magnificent church, a silver-white cross stands behind the god. He is standing on the high steps of the church, and the church bells ring melodiously.

 The pure white light shines on the god's body, and his face does not look very clear.

 “Boom—!”

Noel took action decisively—Su Mingan had already told him what he wanted to do before he came.

 A white, flashbang-like round object was thrown by him and exploded in front.

 This is the "dispelling fruit", which can forcefully and temporarily dispel all illusions, including the obstruction of the appearance of gods.

Under the dazzling light, Su Mingan squinted his eyes and looked with all his strength.

The dazzling light burned his eyes, and burning pain rose in his pupils, but he did not close his eyes, holding on to the two somewhat heavy eyelids, enduring the sting caused by the light -

next moment,

 With the light dissipated, he finally saw the appearance of the god.

 As expected.

"How could it be?" Lin Yin, who was busy cutting people, paused, and a look of shock could not be suppressed on her face.

 “…” Lu Shu’s slashing movement stalled.

 “Sure enough.” Su Mingan paused.

“The identity of a person in power can actually cause such big troubles. The role of Su Lin...it’s really up to whoever wants to play it.”

He said.

 There was emotion in his tone, but there was no regret or sadness.

The movements of several people paused slightly.

They saw

Under the white light, what gradually appeared in the eyes of several people was the legendary appearance of the gods in Yunshang City—

He has short black hair that reaches behind his ears, a gentle smile with a slightly raised corner of his mouth, and a pair of always bright, dark golden eyes.

He and Su Ming'an...or Su Lin, who was looking at him,

 The appearance is exactly the same.

 …

  【The siren is still singing softly, and the singing voice is melodious and charming:】

["—My guest, why are you unwilling to take my advice? You can do what I said and deceive the people of Praia and send them to the dead city while you stay in the safety of Praia. Ya, enjoy a long life and rule this land.”]

   But her guest was sighing softly. 】

  【“…But this approach is wrong.”】

  【"Since I want to carry your power back, I will naturally lead them into the future."】

"You have given me...a long life, a body that is not afraid of the power of the soul clan, a body that is not afraid of poisonous gas, and the ability to cultivate a 'petri dish'."]

["Then, I will use these abilities to board the city in the clouds and find a suitable way to save my hometown - why does it float in the sky and why is it not afraid of the storm? I will use this The indelible body gets its answer above the city."]

"Don't be like this." The siren was incomprehensible to her guest's behavior: "You will endure a long and lonely life like me."]

Facing the siren whose body was gradually drying up, Su Lin smiled as he stared into her dark eyes. 】

“With a hometown I want to watch, I will never be alone.” He said. 】

 …

  【—The third stone of memory·"The Siren and the Young Captain Su Lin"】

 …

Su Mingan previously thought that Su Lin, who came down from Yunshang City, was the first generation, Michael was the second generation, Kaia was the third generation, and he himself was considered the fourth generation.

 But now, it seems that his generation has to be delayed one generation further.

That Su Lin who came down from Yunshang City and was lucky enough to return to Praia—

 It is clearly the second generation.

 More than sixty years ago, Su Lin himself boarded the Yunshang City with the airship.

 …has become an immortal god.

Sixty years ago, when the airship arrived at Yunshang City, everyone knew the fact that "gods do not exist" and were about to die from poisonous gas -

Su Lin took a preparatory plan that made him extremely sad.

Half of Praia’s lives boarded this airship, which is an extremely terrifying death toll.

The astronomy students he is familiar with, his engineering subordinates, his deputy Gerry who chats and laughs with him...

Mother holding her child, a gray-haired old man, a passionate soul-hunting young man, a golden couple with deep feelings...

 Everyone he knows or doesn’t know.

Since, everyone is destined to die here in order to save resources and for the overall situation.

Then—he will not let their deaths be worthless.

 He will arrange their end appropriately.

 He will enable everyone to work hard for a "tomorrow".

So, he watched helplessly as the people he loved, with deceived hatred, were gassed alive in front of him.

Then, with the help of the Siren's soul in him, he absorbed the life of all the dead, devouring their souls and the great malice before their death.

With this incomparably powerful power, he created an eternal, immortal, and powerful ‘god’ on the platform of Yunzhong City, which already had basic energy, and could protect the hot land below.

 He sent oracles to the people, guided the residents, caused hatred, provoked wars, and made people live under malice and hatred.

 He ​​gained strength from his malice and built a barrier that could forever protect the entire Praia and withstand the storm.

 He used different methods to cultivate the next generation of successors who would help him deliver the oracle. He asked the heir to go down with the Siren soul to develop believers besides Tulip.

 Over the long sixty years, his power grew stronger and stronger, and Praia changed a lot.

It gradually appeared... the barrier to resist the storm, the blessed soul hunter, the pope who set up the teleportation array in Yunshang City, the bright knight who guarded the faith, the "sea feast" that regularly created hatred and attracted outsiders...

 All the elements, in Su Lin's hands, turned into chess pieces that dominated the battle. He arranged everything properly, guided people's struggle and hatred, and continued his power to support the barrier.

 After all, death and disaster will not be spared by everyone just because of disputes over "justice and interests".

 Looking at the overall situation, this is the best way to keep most people alive.

 The continuation of Playa is built on the sacrifices of generations.

 Only in this way, struggle and hatred allow their ethnic group to continue.

 Only such death—

 …

Only then can they regain their dignity.

 …

Su Mingan could not describe how he felt when this conjecture was confirmed.

 So much so that when he saw the true appearance of the god, he could not restrain his emotions.

 From ancient times to the present, “god” has been more like a combination of human will, an omniscient and omnipotent being that satisfies the desires of the group.

 Why there is lightning, wind and rain? It’s because of God.

   Why the land produces food and plants grow naturally is because of God.

Ignorance and desire have run through people's history. Unexplainable phenomena and concepts have been attributed by them to myths and legends, and added to the gods they created.

For tens of millions of years, people have believed that all their actions and decisions are controlled by themselves. However, in fact, due to the heavy burden of life and harsh natural conditions, many people have not even had a life of their own.

 …Then, some people were naturally guided by faith and began to seek “freedom”.

 The desires in their veins, from the parts of them that have not been domesticated by civilization, make them start to have something to rely on.

Su Lin satisfied them in their confusion.

Before the horrific natural disaster that could destroy the entire ethnic group, he used his personal power to act as a "leader" and give them direction.

He made a name for himself in advance and became a great engineer known to the whole island. He then took on the role of "god", fabricating the deeds of the gods in Yunshang City, leading people to the city, carrying their deaths and hatred, and imprisoning them here forever.

He took the initiative to trigger wars, channel hatred, use the heirs to develop the "principle of reciprocity" between the two races, colluded with the Kraken, and deliberately launched the Kraken siege when the war was calm, in order to arouse the blood and anger of the people of Praia.

 He established people's faith and made them believe the lie that "there really are gods in Yunshang City".

 With this ridiculous lie, he deceived everyone, including everyone he loved, including the unknowing and exploited Princess Tulip.

 He deceived the whole world.

 …so that he can gain enough faith power.

 …so that the defensive barrier he built can continue smoothly.

 …so that most people can find eternal peace in it.

 With one person's power, he fought against endless natural disasters and at the same time fought against the will and beliefs of countless people, making them "superstitious" in him.

 The concept of "the existence of gods in Yunshang City" was thoroughly deepened by him until no one knew about it.

 There were even serious sects, fanatical believers, and loyal knights.

 —He created a “god” in the true sense of the word.

Though, no one will know who this “god” is.

 He stayed here permanently, always paying attention to the war situation in Praia, and personally sending generations of people to their deaths.

 …and in the sky, watching and caring about his relatives who are hopelessly old, his lover getting married and having children.

 He left his homeland and sent letters to heaven to write the honorary names of others.

 He endures eternal loneliness that is completely different from Princess Tulip.

 …

“I heard that the priest Van Dillon released a white dove before the church was burned down three hundred years ago.”]

"He did not hide or run away in the fire, but sang loudly with all his strength, saying that he had rushed to heaven with the white doves and gained supreme freedom."]

   “His body, which was imprisoned in the mortal world, wrote a glorious name for himself in the kingdom of heaven.”]

   “Since then, he has seen the meaning of dormancy and pain—his body must exist to convey light.”]

  ""Saya." The young Viscount turned back with a smile. 】

The sunlight gently caressed his black hair, and the vicissitudes of time seemed to be locked in his dark golden eyes. 】

  "...Do you want to live forever?" he asked. 】

  【—The First Memory Stone·"The Legend of Van Dillon"】

 …

 In the crowd of soldiers, Su Mingan gradually approached Su Lin.

 As a "god", Su Lin looks no different from ordinary people.

 He stood there quietly, looking at Su Ming'an who was fighting hard with an extremely quiet look.

 Suddenly, Su Lin spoke:

 “My heir, you don’t seem surprised to see me.”

Su Mingan said: "I'm not surprised that the **** is you, Engineer Su."

"Why?"

 “Golden Rose.” Su Mingan spoke concisely and to the point.

There are many clues, but the simplest only requires one.

 In the night level, the original Demon King has only one Golden Rose by his side. His other soldiers gradually developed from Golden Rose.

 At the very beginning, the isolated God of Yunshangcheng and the Tulip Princess who had been staying in Praia, the reason why they successfully connected was just because their siren souls had the same origin.

 Therefore, Golden Rose became the first soldier of the devil - because at the beginning, they were the only ones who could communicate with each other.

Su Lin even deceived the princess and did not tell her the true identity of the god.

 He has deceived the whole world in a real sense.

Su Lin did not delve into this topic and seemed to just mention it casually.

 He seemed to be more interested in Su Mingan.

"Su Ming'an. I have heard your story. You are the strongest among the travelers from another world. As the 'strongest', you should be facing a situation similar to mine." Su Lin spoke lightly.

"No." Su Mingan chopped down the soldier next to him with a sword: "You are a great man, but I am not as good as you."

 He said it sincerely.

 Ordinary students who were lucky enough to gain authority, and great engineers who could imprison the tribe in eternal loneliness. He knows how to compare.

 Even Su Lin’s achievements were born from the lives and hatred of others.

 Su Mingan had no idea about Su Lin.

 He just thought...it was ridiculous.

 It’s ridiculous to think about your own situation and the difficulty of completing the level perfectly.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

 He actually laughed.

The moment he climbed onto Yunshang City and confirmed his suspicion, he realized that he was trapped in a cycle that could not be broken.

 This cycle has already existed from the moment the copy was opened.

 He has the heart of a god, and the gods cannot kill him directly.

 …and Su Lin is a god.

This means that according to time cause and effect, once he kills the god, the "Devil King" last night will also be obliterated. Because the "brave" successfully kills the "Devil King" in the future, he will be directly obliterated.

 But if he does not kill the **** in front of him, the game will not end. He has not reached an ending approved by the copy - which means that he cannot complete the level perfectly.

Whether he kills or not, there is no way out for him.

 …This is also the reason why he suddenly laughed when he saw that the **** was Su Lin.

 At that time, he had already thought of this completely stuck ending.

 This is a closed loop that cannot be escaped.
