Chapter 64 He Loves Me
......
[Before this, all the evil deeds that humans have done in pursuit of fame and fortune, and the wars they have launched in order to gain greater benefits, flashed back in my mind.
I thought I had forgotten it, but only now did I realize that I had always remembered it clearly.
Remember how pitiful they were when they prayed to the gods for answers, remember how disgusted they were when they didn't get a response from the gods, remember how hideous their faces were when they overturned temples and smashed statues.
Human beings are really magical creatures. This kind of wonderful emotion has never appeared when I was interacting with celestial beings before, but now, I have been infected by them after only a few hundred years of interacting with humans.
"They are pathogens!" said the god beside me.
I've never seen a god experience such a huge emotional swing: "Greed and selfishness are etched in their genes!"
"I originally thought they were conquering cities and territories in order to survive, using every possible means to seize resources."
"I tried to understand them. For them, there are only a few resources for survival. If they don't occupy them in advance, they will die, and their relatives and friends will die."
"So when they start a war, even if it's an unjust war, I can force myself to understand this race."
"But this time, the witch-killing incident is different. They wield their knives against their own people, completely disregarding the fact that these people had once saved them."
"The Wu tribe is small in number and has not taken away their living space or resources, yet they have become the target of their attacks."
The god recounted what he had seen in the mortal world: "They regarded the witches as beasts, comparing them to pigs and dogs, and slaughtering them at will."
"What the Wu Clan did for them was taken for granted. Even the oracle I issued to treat the Wu Clan well was no match for time and selfish desires."
"They make fun of pioneers and are so proud of it, they even write articles praising it... I find it disgusting."
I thought, I must be sick, or the god speaking in front of me was secretly casting some spell, otherwise why would my heart, which has always been healthy, hurt?
I didn't say anything, but I was secretly concerned about the idea that "humans are pathogens."
Voting begins.
This meeting concerning the survival of mankind ultimately ended with thirteen gods voting with six in favor, six against, and one abstention.
I think he is the abdicated god - Chongli, the god of light.
As the god who rules the moon, I have felt a resistance towards the God of Light who is destined to stand against me since my birth.
I seldom interact with Him, and I have never spoken to Him since His birth.
He has never approached me, so I guess he feels the same way as I do.
At this moment, He sat on His throne with no emotion, surrounded by the initiators of the meeting who were trying hard to persuade Him to vote in favor.
I remember the hideous faces of humans when they smashed the statues, but what I remember most clearly is the smile on the believers' faces when they first worshipped me.
Many years have passed, but I still remember that smile, full of sunshine and hope.
That was the first time I observed a human being so closely. Her eyes were so beautiful and reminded me of stars.
The girl who offered sacrifices to me later became my chief priest and dedicated her life to me.
From her youthful youth to her old age with white hair, she would always smile like that every time she saw me or heard me.
Humans always say that God is omniscient and omnipotent, but in fact he is not.
Humans can deceive God, and they will develop resentment in the endless waiting.
Like the priest who dedicated her life to me, I secretly observed her for a long time.
When she didn't see me, she would feel resentful and hate me for not coming to see her.
I also did an interesting experiment once. I thought of waiting until her resentment was very deep and then appearing in front of her to see how she would react.
But there was nothing, she still had that smile on her face, just like the first time we met.
All resentment is gone, leaving only joy.
I don't know how she managed it, but there's no doubt that this joy pleased me.
Thinking this way, I don’t mind being cheated.
Later, the officiant died and a new officiant took over.
I started a new round of observation and thinking.
Humans are truly diverse, yet each one is so interesting.
When you truly understand human beings, you can no longer be indifferent.
That’s what I thought and what I said.
I stepped forward and made a bet with the God of Light.
If he doesn't fall in love with humans during his visit to the mortal world, I lose.
It was such a simple bet, and He agreed before I even placed the bet.
But I didn’t expect that. I only wanted Him to be born as God, but He was so straightforward and straightforward to reincarnate as a human being.
What I didn't expect was that his luck was so bad and his reincarnation was so tragic...
When I found Him, He was already dying.
Looking at His miserable appearance, I seemed to have foreseen the future of mankind.
But just when I was about to admit defeat, He looked up at me and told me to get out.
He wanted me to save Him.
It just so happened that I suddenly wanted to save humanity again.
I saved Him, no, I should say I saved Zhu Qing.
The child with a tragic life but strong will - Zhu Qing.
I watched him choose a name for himself and grew up with him.
I watched him grow from a little kid to a big man, learn the dance and speech, and grow into an outstanding person bit by bit.
I felt very relieved. This was the first time I felt so clearly that human growth is so magical.
Then, this child who I watched grow up somehow learned about the existence of the God of Light.
I don't know what he was thinking, but he started imitating the God of Light.
I always knew he was a good student, but I didn't expect him to be that good.
He studies very hard, and with that identical face, sometimes when he stands in front of me, I can see him as the God of Light.
I felt a little guilty, so I finally chose to escape.
Then he sneaked into the temple and said he loved me.
The moment the word "love" came out of his mouth, my originally steady heartbeat began to beat violently, as if it was about to burst out of my chest in the next second.
I am absolutely certain that this is a disease, and humans are the pathogen of this disease.
It is clear to me that the only solution now is to go back and vote, bring down natural disasters, and exterminate humanity.
But I was shamefully cowardly.
When I think about the disappearance of human beings and their leaving no trace in this world like the gods, I become stagnant and wavering.
I think they can't disappear like this. They should go further than the gods, or even further than us.
Zhu Qing should not have died in this way. His life had just begun and he had not yet left his name in history. He deserved more than wasting himself in this abnormal disease.
I let him go, but I asked humans to punish him severely.
I think, under the torture of illness, he should let go of this love.
But I underestimated the severity of this disease.
Facing the sunlight, I looked at the scars on his straight back that went deep into his bones, but the love in his eyes was still there.
At that moment, I forgot who he was. I only remembered that he was Zhu Qing, and Zhu Qing loved me, loved me with his life.
God is not omniscient, but I know he loves me.
In this chaotic world where I couldn't make sense of anything, the look he gave me, that look full of mixed emotions...I felt his love.
Disease is contagious, and I actually began to think that love is a good thing.
