Chapter 104 I'm saving her
......
[Jiang Yang's eyes were indifferent, as if he had thought about this problem a long time ago.
"I know that a building built on lies is not solid and could collapse at any time."
"But what I wanted to do from the beginning was not to build skyscrapers, but to give them hope."
"I want to tell them not to be shackled."
"Those higher-ups claim that only those with pure bloodlines are worthy of being priests of the gods. So, I will create a god that will grant priesthood to anyone regardless of birth or appearance, as long as they are capable and pious."
"I want to tell them that the world is vast, and the lies of those above them cannot bind them, not even the gods."
I saw Jiang Yang's eyes getting brighter and brighter, and her voice getting fainter and fainter, as if what she did and said was just an insignificant thing.
But the devout believers kneeling outside the temple actually gained energy from this towering building of lies.
Many of them, in the eyes of those in power, are considered untouchables who are not worthy of worshipping gods.
But because they believed in the God of the Underworld, they possessed basic power. On this basis, they obtained things they had never had before. Many of them also crossed classes and even reached higher positions.
I suddenly understood what Jiang Yang's high-rise building of lies meant - it broke the class monopoly of the upper class.
Everyone can believe in God, but in order to consolidate their position, those in power tell a lie: only those with pure blood can be recognized by God and become believers.
Over thousands of years, this lie has gradually become deeply rooted in people's hearts after being baptized by time.
They gave up everything, worked humbly, survived generation after generation, and died generation after generation, just to save enough money for their children to be baptized, become believers of God, become a real person, and a person with equal power.
But those in power will only tell them that the rules have changed when they are about to succeed, or kick them back to the starting point, claiming that they are not devout enough.
But Jiang Yang never agreed with that. She was like a savage from the wilderness. She didn't know about the conventions of the world, nor did she agree with them.
When the superiors wanted to put this set of shackles on her, she turned away silently, and then took another approach and invented a god of her own.
Even if one day Jiang Yang leaves and this tall building collapses, as long as humans have the will, countless tall buildings will be built again.
Gods don’t care about humans, but humans care about humans. As a human being, Jiang Yang cares about humans.
She is free, so she also wants to bring this freedom to humans.
I looked at Jiang Yang's profile, longing for the sun to set as soon as possible so that the light of the Moon Goddess could shine on me too.
Unfortunately, the glory of Her Majesty the Moon Goddess has not yet descended, and Jiang Yang is about to die.
Jiang Yang calmly accepted her death; she died of illness.
Heaven was not so kind to her, and her illness was very painful.
In addition to feeling weak day after day, she also had to endure tremendous pain. Every time she spoke or even breathed, it was painful for her.
I could only suppress the pain by continuously channeling divine power. In the end, my divine power alone was not enough, and Mother Earth took over and barely supported me until Jiang Yang passed away.
Mother Earth and I saw her off for the last time. Mother Earth was crying sadly beside her. I was watching from the side and felt as if someone was cutting my chest with a sharp knife.
I think this is what heartache feels like.
I know she will return to heaven and be her Moon Goddess again, and we will meet again eventually.
But watching Jiang Yang leave, my mind told me that this was just a short separation, but in reality my emotions were experiencing great sadness.
My hands hidden in my sleeves clenched tighter and tighter, and I could hear the sound of bones being dislocated in my hands. The stabbing pain continued to attack my brain. I could only rely on this slight pain to barely maintain my sanity.
I heard the sound of water dripping to the ground. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw bloody red blood falling to the ground. I followed the source and found that it was my hands hidden in my sleeves.
I sent Mother Earth away and wanted to go forward and say my final goodbye to Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang said he was careless, but in fact he was the most careful.
The first time he saw me, he smiled with his pale face upturned and said, "Do you want me to die so badly? You're so impatient that you've hurt yourself."
I knew she was just saying that to ease my mood, so I didn't refute her.
I stretched out my index finger and thumb and pulled down the corners of Jiang Yang's upturned mouth.
"If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. You don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me."
Jiang Yang's tears suddenly fell, and her whole face wrinkled up, looking extremely ugly, but I thought it was a little cute.
"It hurts so much," she cried. "If I had known death would hurt so much, why would I have come down here to suffer this?"
"If we return to the divine realm, could you please tell me in heaven not to come down again next time? It's too painful."
I held back my sobs and my voice was a little hoarse. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Yang would have noticed something unusual, but today, she didn't hear anything.
I didn't feel happy, I just knew that she must be in extreme pain so much that she didn't even notice this fact that could make fun of me.
"Okay, I'll tell her for you."
Jiang Yang frowned: "Help me punch her twice more."
I nodded: "Yeah."
Jiang Yang suddenly smiled, then regretted it and said, "Forget it. I'll still be the one to deal with her after we get back. If you hit her, won't the blows go to me? It's better not to hit her."
I nodded. "Yeah."
Jiang Yang patted my hand and said, "Hold my hand."
I held her hand tightly as I was told. Jiang Yang smiled again and said, "I've seen mortal women giving birth. Some husbands, who are particularly loving and disregard worldly ethics, will sit by the woman's bedside and hold her hand tightly, as if this can give her strength."
"I didn't understand it then, but now I seem to understand. Holding your hand, I really don't feel any pain anymore."
I lowered my head and looked at the golden light surrounding my hands, which symbolized divine power and was continuously transmitting divine power into Jiang Yang's body.
The divine power that Mother Earth left in Jiang Yang was not enough to withstand the intensified pain. The moment I held Jiang Yang's hand, I subconsciously activated the divine power in my body.
Silly Jiang Yang, this isn't any kind of faith at all, it's my divine power that's been at work from the very beginning.
But I didn’t want to talk to Jiang Yang about such superficial topics in her last moments. I just wanted to tell her that the peach blossoms in the temple were blooming, and a bird had landed on the willow tree. It was green and very pretty.
Jiang Yang listened to what I said and slowly lost his voice.
I sat on the edge of the bed, quietly holding Jiang Yang who was leaning in my arms, my mind blank.
The next second, a face appeared in the temple that I never thought I would see.
I don't understand why my future self appears at this moment.
If it were me, I would never show up at this sad moment.
If I really love Jiang Yang in the future, I will go crazy the moment I see Jiang Yang's body.
But the other party not only came, but also took the opportunity to extract the soul of Jiang Yang when he came to the world.
"Give it back to me!" I hugged Jiang Yang and summoned the Flowing Light Sword, but in the end I was still defeated by the opponent.
Obviously, he came prepared, knowing that my spiritual power was exhausted at this time and it would be best to deal with me.
Looking at the figure about to leave, I frowned, "Why?"
Why did you steal Jiang Yang's soul?
I didn't ask the whole question, but I believe the other party knew what I wanted to ask.
He did not give a direct answer. From the moment he first appeared until now, he did not dare to open his eyes to look at Jiang Yang's body, as if he was afraid.
I only heard his last words before leaving this time and space: "I'm saving her."
I don't understand this sentence. Who is he trying to save? Who can he save by taking away a wisp of Jiang Yang's soul?!
