Chapter 130

When it was time for the weekly believers' gathering, the bishop first led everyone in offering a hymn to the Lord of Light as usual, then opened his booklet and began to read, "Now we are going to announce the recent good deeds of good people..."

"Mrs. Sandra repaired the clothes of the children living in the Chamber and taught them how to use needle and thread."

"Mr. Brandon bravely caught the thief when he was doing something bad and handed him over to the city guards."

"Little Jody, I heard from your parents that you used the copper coins you saved to buy a birthday present for your mother. Oh, you are such a good child."

"And Miss Angela..."

The bishop finished reading the contents of the booklet with a righteous look on his face, then raised his hands and said passionately: "You are the messengers of justice and the disseminators of love. You warm everyone's heart. Because of outstanding people like you, our big home can become more beautiful! Let's applaud them!"

There was thunderous applause and cheers from beneath the statue, mixed with some praises. The sound was loud and noisy, but everyone's face was filled with smiles, and some believers were so excited that their faces turned red.

Ashborn: "..."

The gods were totally confused. Was what they had just heard such a remarkable thing for lower-level creatures?

Although he had no emotion when he was reciting the hymn just now, what Ashborn did not want to admit was that he even felt that many believers were perfunctory when praising him, more like pseudo-believers.

But for some meaningless little things, their enthusiasm and praise are very sincere...

After the applause died down, the bishop continued to talk about the important things, "In the past few days, there are eight new foreigners registered in our city, one of whom is a snake man. If anyone is afraid of snakes, be mentally prepared."

One believer excitedly raised his hand and said, "Oh, Your Excellency, you must be talking about Mr. Sander. I've met him before. He's very easy to talk to. He likes to eat the roasted rabbit in our store. He's also very generous and paid us a lot of gold coins!"

"Well, he just has a big appetite. We sold all our roasted rabbits and roasted birds to him."

"I praised the beautiful color of his tail, and Mr. Sander was very happy and gave me three gold coins!"

There was a lot of envy all around, and those who were not afraid of snakes were already planning to give Mr. Sander their sincere praises!

Ashborn: “……?” The god, who always had a calm expression, frowned. He could not understand this situation.

A believer asked with concern: "Your Excellency the Bishop, is His Royal Highness the Son of God doing well in the abyss?"

The bishop smiled proudly, "It went very smoothly. Your Highness has explained to many alien races the long-standing misunderstandings of humans about them. I hope that the creatures of the two worlds can understand and tolerate each other."

The believer who just said he had seen the snake man added: "Mr. Sander told me that it was because of His Royal Highness the Son of God's intervention that the two worlds did not fight. The alien races all respect His Royal Highness."

In fact, the snake man's original words attributed the reason to the Demon King and the Son of God, but in the eyes of believers, it was because His Highness was too charming that the Demon King who loved him was willing to restrain the demons.

Because of the promotion of the Holy Son, the bishop who has his current status praises the Holy Son every day, "Your Highness has brought light and beauty to the mortal world. We must be grateful, cherish peace, eliminate prejudice, and don't let Your Highness's efforts go to waste!"

Hearing these words, the believers' expressions were either adoring or serious. They said in unison, "Thank you for the protection of Your Highness the Holy Son. Your Highness will be glorious forever. May all your wishes come true, and may happiness and health be with you."

Ashborn: "..."

After the God of Light descended on several chambers to check on the believers, He finally confirmed one thing - the Son of God He had chosen was indeed more likely to expand faith than other priests, but the faith ultimately fell on the Son of God himself.

Rather than being angry about this matter, Ashborn now wants to know what is going on with the Abyss Aliens?

They were extremely strong-minded and free-spirited, so how could they accept the laws of the weak human race? It was even more impossible for them to appreciate the Son chosen by Him. On the contrary, they would only want to kill all the priests.

Asherborn didn't believe that the demons had been sealed for too long and became docile. Then were all the abnormal behaviors due to the constraints of the Demon King... Did the Abyss now have a new ruler?

Thinking about the Demon King, a name immediately came to the mind of the God of Light, and then more doubts arose.

If the Demon King is really Samuel, given His personality, it is even more impossible for Him to restrain the demons. He would not care about the war between the two worlds. Could it be that his personality has changed drastically after reincarnation?

No, Ashborn didn't believe that this would happen. He thought that there must be someone else who was the ruler of the abyss, and that he must have a bigger plan by restraining the demons now.

The god frowned almost imperceptibly, and he traced the protective seal on the Son of God's body, and found that the child was actually in the abyss.

Could it be true, as the believers said, that His Son, who was supposed to kill all the dark believers, was now thinking of converting the dirty and violent alien races of the abyss? Let light and beauty illuminate the abyss?

Ashborn closed his eyes. How could he not have realized before that the Son of God was such a loving person...

——

Late at night, the Pope sensed the arrival of the gods and came alone to the statue in the main temple.

Seeing the object of faith. The white-haired man's eyes showed a little joy, "My God, I hope everything is well with you."

Unfortunately, the god he worshipped all his life still didn't take him seriously. Ashborn said directly, "Do you know what the Son of God is doing in the abyss?"

His tone was calm, yet contained a hint of questioning, blaming the Pope for not disciplining his heir.

The Pope pretended not to hear anything and said, "Xia Zuo knows. The child said that he was traveling around the Abyss and trying to find out the whereabouts of the Son of Darkness."

"Oh? Why did I hear that the Son of God wanted the two worlds to live in peace, and that the dark race admired him very much?"

The ethereal voice contained a hint of sarcasm: "I didn't expect that he, as the Son of Light, actually believed that the demons could follow your laws."

The Pope frowned. "That kid is a little naive, but... it's not his fault. My God, the Demon King is too powerful, and the human race is no match for the Demons. We have no other choice but to accept the Demon King's proposal to allow the two worlds to communicate with each other. The more El contacts the Demons, the better to stay in the Abyss and search for the Son of Darkness."

The Pope sighed, "My God... the two worlds have decided to interact, and this decision cannot be stopped by the Church alone."

Ashborn was more concerned about another thing, "Xia Zuo, I hope you can know what race the Demon King is and what he looks like?"

"Al mentioned to me that the Demon King is a demon with black hair and dark golden eyes. But the kid couldn't tell what level of strength he had reached."

"What's your personality and temperament like?"

"He is said to be a steady and rational type. Al has always been transparent, but the Demon King hides his emotions very well. He cannot see through his thoughts and preferences."

It sounds like he has a completely opposite temperament to Samuel. Ashborn has completely lost interest in the Demon King. No matter how strong he is, he is only as powerful as a lower-level god.

Ashburn talked to the Pope for a few more words, and then left neatly. During the conversation, neither side mentioned the matter of repairing the seal, and the god had no explanation or excuse for this.

The Pope shook his head helplessly. Too arrogant...

Have you not learned your lesson from the decrease in believers? Or do you still believe that I can cover up your ambition and indifference for you?

——

Al received a communication from the Pope.

Yesterday, he felt heat between his brows and knew that the God of Light was looking for him, but there was no medium in the abyss that could allow the god to stay temporarily, so the two of them could not communicate.

Al was a little conflicted. It felt like his boss called him while he was traveling, but he missed the call and didn't want to return it. However, he was worried that he would be held accountable if he angered his boss.

Not wanting to dwell on it any longer, he had decided to return to the mortal world and find a city with a branch court to stay in for a while, waiting to see what the God of Light wanted to say. However, he was contacted by the Pope before leaving the abyss.

This... is not surprising. If the boss can't find his subordinate, he will definitely go find another subordinate to do the job.

"My God also said that you have a great talent for cultivation and should not be as strong as you are now. He is concerned about whether you are too concerned about the affairs of the Church and neglect your own cultivation?"

"You should also spend some time in retreat to improve your realm, otherwise we will worry about you getting into danger when you stay alone in the abyss."

"However, the Abyss is indeed a suitable place to improve your strength. You can stay there for a few more years and look for clues about the Son of Darkness."

After this perfunctory conversation, Al reflected for a while. Is his realm... very weak?

Of course, he couldn't compare with the many elderly masters he knew, but he thought he was pretty good as he had achieved the status of a Dharma Saint at the age of over a hundred.

Oh, I see. This is to hide him and keep him away from the lives of believers, so as not to snatch the faith that the big boss wants.

It doesn't matter. The situation is under control anyway. There is nothing important to do in the mortal world. It's nice to stay in the abyss and live in a world of two with my partner.

Samuel, who was standing behind the wall, saw his little partner end the call and walked over again. He had a happy smile on his face, and was obviously satisfied with what he had just heard. "No one will disturb us in the future."

Al was still a little angry because of what happened in bed a few days ago. He stretched out his hand to block the face of the God who wanted to come closer, not allowing Him to kiss him.

Samuel grabbed his friend's hand aggrievedly and kissed his palm.

The silver-haired young man glanced at Him unhappily, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there is no communication crystal in the divine realm, or it is too far away to be used, otherwise the God of Light could contact me at any time. It's scary to think about it."

Samuel raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then you should thank me. It was me who sealed the divine realm before reincarnation."

Because he thought this kind of thing was not important, he didn't think about it and didn't mention it to his friends.

The young man's beautiful eyes widened, "...Is this why He hates you so much?"

Samuel sneered, "That's not the case. He started targeting me a long time ago."

Ashburn sealed the abyss, and although it had no impact on Samuel, He couldn't be so magnanimous as to pretend that this had never happened.

Besides, Samuel had already decided to reincarnate, and he didn't want the Celestial Clan, the subordinate race of the God of Light, to run around and cause trouble for Him, so Samuel sealed the divine realm before reincarnation.

The rules of the world restricted the God of Light, Ashborn restricted the demons, and Samuel restricted the celestials...

Al had always believed that humans in this world were too influenced by the gods and that civilization was developing slowly. Now it seems that he is very lucky. At least powerful alien races cannot enter the mortal world. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine how chaotic the situation in the mortal world would be.

Al held his partner's handsome face in his hands and kissed him for the first time in the past few days, "Good job, baby."

The Lord God's dark eyes lit up, and he wanted to take advantage of the situation to chase and ask for a reward, just like last time, but unfortunately... he was rejected by the cold-blooded Holy Son.

"If you say three months, it means three months. Before that, we will sleep in separate rooms. You've been a widow for tens of thousands of years anyway, so there's nothing you can't adapt to, right?"

I went too far last time. My legs go weak just thinking about it now. No, I absolutely cannot indulge my partner’s bad habits!

The silver-haired young man had a cold and holy face, and no one could tell that some indescribable images were flashing through his mind.

The Lord God immediately put on a disappointed face like a Winster dog, "Then can we just do nothing and sleep in the same room? When I can't hug my brother or chat with you, I feel empty and sad..."

Al didn't know why that wild and handsome face turned into a humble suitor with a slight droop of eyebrows and eyes.

He softened his heart for a moment, then turned his head away fiercely, "No! This is the age to strive for success, don't always think about things that are not serious. Come and teach me how to practice sword. I haven't used a sword for a while."

Al pulled his partner to a spacious place, intending to let Him do something that would consume his physical energy.

Samuel sighed regretfully. His little friend was really hard-hearted. He was really... too tempting~

——

Things did not develop as expected, and Ashburn had no intention of repairing the seal immediately.

He would wait a little longer until a large number of demons entered the mortal world. With just a few tricks, the fear and resistance of weak humans towards the demons would be ignited...

Whether it was ten years or a hundred years, that little bit of time meant nothing to Him, and Ashburn could afford to wait.

Without the God of Light to make his presence felt from time to time, El spent more than ten years in ease and comfort.

During this period, the demons who went to the mortal world could go further, and even communicated with other races such as elves and orcs. More human adventurers also formed teams to explore the abyss. The creatures of the two worlds occasionally had conflicts, but generally lived in harmony.

Al's family already knew that he was with Samuel, and no one objected. They were all relieved to know that their child would have a lover to accompany him for his long future.

Because Yaerlin had taken care of the dragon for so long and they had a very good relationship, Al terminated the contract with the dragon cub and made Yaerlin the dragon cub's new owner.

Anyway, he didn't have much patience for raising a magical pet, and with a possessive partner around, he couldn't give the magical pet too much love, so he might as well find a master who loved the dragon cub more.

Al had been living an easy life to begin with, and when he heard that the Pope was ready to break through to the realm of God, Al felt even more refreshed - was he going to be promoted? !
