Greek Mythology: The Spiritual Dominator
Chapter 217 There is no other god
On the makeshift wooden platform, Nuo's preaching resonated with many listeners. In other words, as long as those who can survive the great flood, their hearts are purer than others.
Those who are suspicious, cunning, or who often harbor ill intentions towards others will naturally not believe in the sudden kindness of others. They didn't believe what Nuo said, and they were naturally buried in the flood.
In contrast, the audience here is obviously not included. Especially after a near-death experience, looking at the desolate city, what Nuo said was naturally particularly touching.
It's just that although Nuo's words resonated with many people, some people in the crowd still expressed different opinions.
"What you said does make sense, but No, maybe the gods on Mount Olympus are not all so unbearable. At least in the previous disasters, it was the goddess who protected me."
Walking out of the crowd, Kawei was still wearing the sacrificial robe to worship Hestia. He bowed silently to the holy fire, and then looked in the direction of Nuo.
"Now, there is nothing to hide. Just as you guessed, in the past, the priests deceived others, deceived the gods, and deceived themselves. But when faced with death, I finally gave up. Those thoughts, I stated my sins to the incarnation of all fires, and waited for her to give me the punishment I deserved. But the result was not like this. After the disaster was over, just like each of you, I survived."
Following Ka Wei's words, dozens of people walked out of the crowd. They all had similar experiences to Ka Wei.
"Perhaps the gods may not be merciful, but not every god will ignore the disasters of mortals. This is the case with His Highness Hestia."
With a sincere look on his face, Ka Wei really thought so from the bottom of his heart.
"No, your behavior reminded me. The goddess has forgiven my sin, but I should not forget it. From today on, I should also spread the name of the Holy Fire in the world to repay her kindness."
A disaster destroyed a civilization, but created two inspired saints. It’s just that compared to Nuo, Kawei’s objects of faith are different.
"Your moral character is worthy of respect, Ka Wei. Not everyone can face their own mistakes and have the courage to change. However, have you ever thought about a question? Is the holy fire brought back by the God of Illumination who created man really the truth? The manifestation of His Highness Hestia’s power?”
Walking down from the high platform, Nuo came to the eternal flame.
"If not. If you pray to the Holy Fire, who will answer you in the end?"
Although humans do not know the nature of these divine objects, after long-term contact, many people with high natural inspiration can notice that the holy fire brought back by Prometheus does not seem to be similar to the original flame given by God. In addition, it is well known that the Kitchen Goddess is the eldest sister of the God King. Will she disobey her brother's order for the sake of a mortal?
The answer is probably no, especially since Nuo knew that the gods who sent shelter during disasters also had an agreement with Prometheus.
"Maybe. If not, then I am grateful for the kindness of the person who saved my life, but my belief remains unchanged."
His expression was calm. After experiencing life and death, Ka Wei had seen his own heart clearly. Faith will not be changed easily, and the most important thing is that as a priest who once worshiped Hestia, before the connection between gods and humans was severed, he had felt the breath of the statue left by the goddess countless times, and now , he felt it again at the ruins of this city.
The goddess was here, not long ago. For a believer, such specious evidence is enough.
"Okay, Ka Wei, I respect your beliefs."
Sighing, Nuo felt a little regretful in his heart, but he still expressed his blessings to his compatriots who had escaped the disaster together. Opposite him, Ka Wei nodded at him, and then used a fennel branch to light a flame.
"I will leave here and follow in the footsteps of His Highness Hestia. No matter what your plan is, I wish you a smooth journey."
Ka Wei left with dozens of followers behind him. Nuo didn't stop him, he just watched him leave with the others.
In any case, the difference in beliefs at this time is not enough to turn into a sword fight, not to mention that in Nuo's impression, the Kitchen Goddess is indeed a kind god. She neither punishes like the God-King, nor brings floods like the Poseidon, nor does she bring Prometheus away like the Sun God. So Nuo still expressed his acceptance of Ka Wei's choice.
"Sir Cohen, are you also a person who survived under the protection of the Lord?"
After sending Ka Wei away, Nuo turned around and looked at the edge of the square. In fact, he had already noticed Cohen's arrival when he was just talking, but now he had time to greet him.
Mortal eyesight has its limits. He was not able to see the scene of Cohen and Triton fighting when the flood came, but this did not affect his ability to recognize each other. After all, Cohen is somewhat famous in Aurora City for teaching others swordsmanship. Seeing him arriving, Nuo thought he had just woken up from the city.
"I don't know either."
Facing the other party's gaze, the dream from ten thousand years ago that had benefited him to this day flashed through his mind, and Cohen shook his head gently.
He looked at the crowd around him again, but still couldn't find a familiar figure.
"Whether it is or not, Mr. Cohen, we are probably the only surviving humans in this world now."
He turned around to indicate that the city wall had long since collapsed, and almost nothing could be seen on the plateau that was once the plain.
"Maybe new humans will appear, but no one knows when exactly that will be, and even if this world has been washed away by floods, it will still be dangerous. If possible, I hope we can go all the way."
"Aren't you going to stay here and rebuild this city?"
Somewhat surprised, Cohen glanced at the unquenchable sacred fire.
"This is the place that the gods of Olympus gave to the bronze humans. But now, when they destroy the bronze humans with their own hands, I will no longer regard them as gods."
Shaking his head, Nuo's smile was gentle.
"Bronze Humanity is the name they gave us, not our own. Humanity is humankind and does not need to be called anything else. I will preach the holy name of the Lord to every intelligent life along the way until we find a new name for us. home."
".good."
Looking at the other party, Cohen didn't know what to do now. He was about to nod in agreement, but the next moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Very well, mortal, you are different from your kind."
"who?"
A soft and ethereal voice sounded, echoing around the altar. The humans who had just experienced the disaster immediately became vigilant, but they could not find anything.
The next moment, the void fluctuated, and a figure that had once been unforgettable for Cohen slowly emerged. There was a belt of light around her body, accompanied by dots of stars, but this time, she was no longer wearing the hood that covered her face.
On her holy and perfect face, there was a disregard for all equality in the world. The white wings spread out behind her. She stepped on the ground, but it seemed as if she did not belong to the world.
"what's your name?"
Ignoring others, the visitor looked directly in the direction of Nuo.
Mortal life was not worthy of her attention, but today was an exception. Now, she wants to see if the other person's heart is really that pious.
······
Yiwen Jielin did not come to the world for no reason. In fact, if possible, she could stay in her own place for ten thousand years. But things are a little different recently. Because of frequent incidents, angels still came out.
First, someone from the outside world openly stole souls, so she had to temporarily guard the reincarnation. As a result, no problems occurred sooner or later. But while she was on duty, the beings in the third level of the spirit world came to Wanling for some reason. The world came and caused a lot of trouble.
Although in terms of strength, no spirit world beings can compete with the spirit world angels who control part of the interface authority, due to the large number of opponents, many souls are still affected.
Of course, no one expected Hypnos' behavior before, so Lyanna, who returned to the spirit world, had no intention of blaming her. However, in order to prevent similar things from happening again, they decided to seal the roads leading to the deeper levels of the first three spiritual realms.
At this stall, Lyanna needed to handle it herself and was unable to leave, so other matters were once again handed over to Evelyn's hands.
The Goddess of the Dark Moon told her to check whether the rituals scattered under human cities still existed. If so, then figure out the principle of its operation. However, Asmodeus obviously would not leave such flaws. When Ewenjielin arrived, every inch of this ritual had been turned into powder, and even historical images could not be summoned.
Because the Lord of the Nine Hells cleverly transferred part of the malice of the laws of this world to the ritual itself at the last moment. Even Ryan may not be able to see the past of something destroyed by the present world, let alone Yiwen Jielin.
Therefore, the angel who returned without success felt a little depressed. She walked around the earth casually, intending to see the flame that the Lord had left for the solar chariot and now fell into the hands of humans. But when she came here, she unexpectedly heard Nuo's preaching.
A group of mortals from the outside world actually developed a devout belief in the Lord, which immediately attracted Evelyn's attention. This was rare in the past. She knew that the Lord might not care about this. He just sowed some knowledge thousands of years ago, and human beings' faith continued to flow. But for the angels, the outside world did not know the greatness of the Lord, which was far more powerful than the power of faith. It's even more intolerable in itself.
For a moment, Yiwen Jielin couldn't help but have a special idea. If she couldn't find any trace of the soul thief, she would have to do something, and she believed that even if Lyanna knew about it, she would definitely support her.
"what's your name?"
So she appeared, and Yiwen Jielin said to this special mortal.
"My name is No."
With a solemn expression, Nuo responded softly.
Faced with the sudden change, Nuo was only nervous for a moment, and then relaxed, and even had some expectations. This strange existence did not seem to be hostile, and came because of his remarks that disparaged the Olympian gods and praised the spirit world.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to know which side she is from. In front of Nuo, Yiwen Jielin also continued to ask:
"Among all things, you are one of the few who can realize the great life of the Lord. This is what makes you special and different from them."
"But I want to know, what can you do for what you say, for spreading the name of the Lord throughout the world?"
The sound was like a melody, making those who heard it involuntarily let down their guard and look at Nuo in front of them. Yiwen Jielin quietly waited for the other party's reply.
In front of her, Nuo's response also made her feel very satisfied.
"I will give everything I have for the rest of my life, Your Highness. If my life should have gone to destruction under the will of the Olympus gods, then every day I continue will be to spread the glory of the Lord."
"very good."
The originally distant voice had a hint of recognition, and Yiwen Jielin finally nodded. This mortal still had some merits. So she stretched out her hand. The next moment, a simple astrolabe appeared in her hand.
The phantoms in the astrolabe correspond to the stars in the sky, but only part of them exist. They are illusory stars belonging to the spiritual world. With a slight toss, it floated in front of Nuo, emitting a faint light.
"Follow its guidance and build a city where the stars indicate. You and your civilization will develop there and continue."
Wings flapped slightly, and Yiwen Jielin glanced to the west.
There live the false gods who claim to rule the world.
"But you have to remember that since you can see the truth in this world and offer devotion to the Lord, then don't call those beings 'gods' anymore."
After taking the astrolabe, Nuo felt a burst of joy in his heart. He didn't expect that the problem would be solved like this, but he still had some doubts about Yiwen Jielin's last words.
He was about to say something, but next to him, another voice spoke first.
"Your Highness Yiwen Jielin, do you still remember me?"
After standing aside and waiting for a long time, Cohen finally asked this question. Looking at the astrolabe given by the person in front of him, he seemed to see himself in the past when he was able to view the [Civilization Slate].
But he still doesn't know why he was able to view the stone slab. At least the Nuo in front of him received the gift after expressing his piety.
However, Yiwen Jielin just glanced at him without any further emotions.
"The first human being created by the Lord, of course I remember you."
His expression was calm, and the wings behind the angel were gently fluttering.
“But what about you, do you believe in the Lord who created you?”
As soon as he said this, Keen's heart was shaken, and Nuo's eyes widened at the side. The first human being created, this short sentence contained too much information, which was difficult for them to digest at the same time.
When Yiwen Jielin saw this, she didn't say anything more. She just focused her eyes on Nuo again.
She noticed the other party's previous doubts, and she was willing to spend more time on a mortal who was willing to spread the glory of the Lord.
"Speak out your questions. As a believer of the Lord in this world, I will answer your confusion."
"Your Highness, I just want to know why we can no longer use 'god' to refer to the beings on Mount Olympus. Aren't you also a god?"
After suppressing the shock in his heart, Nuo glanced at Cohen from the corner of his eye, and then asked his doubts.
After hearing his words, Yiwen Jielin smiled for the first time today.
She had heard similar mistakes more than once in the past, but she never corrected them because she was not paying attention to the outside world. But since the Lord’s faith is to be spread throughout the world, this mistake can no longer exist.
After all, how can the false gods from the outside world have the same honorific title as the Lord?
"Because this is a mistake. Although the outside world regards me as a god, I have never admitted it myself, and neither have the angels in the spiritual world."
"We serve the Lord with a more devout faith than you, because from beginning to end, there is only one God who is all-knowing and all-seeing in this world."
Slowly floating into the air, Yiwen Jielin looked down at the crowd at her feet.
"No, since you want to spread the name of the Lord, then remember my words: No matter the past or the future, whether in heaven or on earth, the truth in this world will never change, and there will naturally be no two truths."
"so."
Yiwen Jielin's voice became colder for the first time, allowing everyone who heard it to feel her emotions, and she had no intention of hiding it.
She just looked in the direction of Olympus, just like looking at everything outside.
“Therefore, there is no god but my Lord.”
