When Su Yun was on track with the purpose of "God's gift", Tang Chao took the initiative to withdraw, and the people leading Su Yun were replaced by Vodka and Lili Marlene.
Tang Chao must be really scared, right? This fanatical believer is also afraid of him.
Although Su Yun thought of this, he didn't feel anything about it. Maybe he could really destroy this land and wipe out everyone's consciousness in a single thought, but his heart was still deadly calm.
Perhaps the only thing that can move his emotions at this moment is the game on his phone... It's really arrogant to say that.
But regardless of other things, the people in this organization have chosen code names with very meaningful meanings. The Ottomans, Han and Tang dynasties were powerful civilizations, vodka was also one of the symbols of civilization, and Lili Marlene was a song from World War II.
Su Yun was distracted for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, there was light in front of the corridor. This was not the light provided by mechanical lamps, but natural light from the sun.
The gate slowly rose, revealing the true appearance of "heaven".
Heaven, an extremely beautiful word. Almost all civilizations and religions have descriptions of "heaven". People imagine the bliss after death and are keen to depict every bit of their imagination. After thousands of years of additions, the "heaven" in major civilizations has a very concrete image.
As for the "Crystal Heaven", "Stellar Heaven" and "Pure World" mentioned by Lili Marlene, these concepts all come from the medieval work "The Divine Comedy", which respectively mean the place where the gods are, the place where the laws of stars are, and the hardships that must be experienced to reach heaven. They are used to refer to the control center, scientific research area and living area. The conception is quite clever.
The first area Su Yun arrived at was the "Pure Realm". This area was exactly like the paradise people imagined, and it was completely different from the original meaning.
There are no very tall buildings here, only scattered houses. Thousands of white buildings are neatly placed among the mountains and forests. Wide roads connect each house. Beige stone bricks are neatly laid on the ground. The rest of the area is covered with green grass and tall pine forests.
Loose groups of people were walking leisurely on the roads and in the woods. They all looked so beautiful that they didn’t seem like humans. All of them were wearing white robes. The men were tall and handsome, the women were gentle and pretty, and even the children had happy expressions on their faces.
When people see Lili Marlene, they bow and salute her, calling her "Archangel".
As for Su Yun, they turned a blind eye.
"This is heaven." Lili Marlene said proudly, "All the people in heaven are chosen. No one here will have disease or pain. When their lifespans come to an end, they will be summoned and tested by the gods. Only those who pass the test will become servants of the gods."
God's servants? Dead people like Tang Dynasty and Vodka?
Su Yun thought aimlessly that the people here were indeed still human beings, but their bodies had undergone slight changes, and they did not have any diseases probably because of the roses. Perhaps the future of the people here would be to try roses or be used as sacrifices, but they were treated quite well.
The three of them continued along the main road, and when they left the residential area, the peaceful and harmonious scene disappeared.
At the end of the road, there appeared a tall tower. This white tower towered into the sky, somewhat like a lighthouse, but its size was much larger than an ordinary lighthouse.
Moreover, the appearance of this tower is quite familiar. It frequently appears in various ancient illustrations... Su Yun was stunned: "Tower of Babel?"
Lili Marlene laughed, "Yes, according to ancient legends, people built the Tower of Babel to spy on the gods, which was disrespectful, so the gods made it impossible for people to understand other people's language. But our Tower of Babel is absolutely different from the legend. Our Starry Sky and Crystal Sky are right up there!"
Su Yun and his party finally walked into the tall tower. Surprisingly, all the stairs inside the tower were made of transparent materials. Su Yun looked up at the invisible top of the tower and could vaguely see the glow of stars.
Looking at it this way, it really looks like it is "reaching the sky".

As Tang Chao said, "Xingxingtian" is actually a scientific research area.
While walking on the transparent stairs in the Tower of Babel, Su Yun could clearly see the rooms beside the stairs. These rooms were arranged like a honeycomb, and each had a transparent one-way outer wall. The people in the rooms were wearing white clothes and were busy working under the huge machinery.
"They are making medicine gifted by the gods." Lilimaren said softly, "All those who take the medicine will be free from disease forever. Some priests can also get pain relief from the medicine - although their pain is because they can't adapt to the rose of the gods."
Su Yun: "So what are the raw materials of the medicine?"
Lili Marlene hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "It's the blood of His Highness the High Priest."
As if she felt that this was not a good idea, she immediately added: "We only need one drop.
To create thousands of miracle drugs."
Su Yun understood. That's what it was.
No wonder they came so eagerly to pray to him to be the high priest. After all, the high priest's blood could create heaven, and now that God's rose was gone, it would be impossible for any high priest to appear in the world again.
But if they were to pray for his blood now... then these medicines would probably become deadly poisons, right?
"...We are about to enter the Crystal Sky." Lilimaren said carefully, "The Lord's Gift is at the highest point of the Tower of Babel. Only one person is allowed to enter there. We will be waiting for you down there."
Su Yun looked up. At this time, the three of them had climbed to a very high altitude, about three or four hundred meters from the ground. Ordinary people would be exhausted and out of breath just by climbing to this height, not to mention that the spiral stairs were transparent. Looking down would only make people dizzy. If they were not careful, they might fall down.
But Su Yun had no such worries at all. He looked quietly at the transparent stairs. The sunlight shining through the top of the tower would be cleverly refracted on the stairs, making everything become as beautiful as a fairyland.
After a long while, until Lili Marlene's calves trembled slightly, Su Yun raised his head and said, "Let's go."
Lilimarlene and Vodka walked consciously to the transparent plank road beside the stairs. They gave the steps to Su Yun, and Su Yun walked straight up.
At the top of the stairs, a door finally appeared. This door was like a skylight. It was also transparent, and light penetrated downwards from it.
Su Yun pushed open the small door and finally climbed to the top of the Tower of Babel.
At the top of the Tower of Babel is a completely transparent oval-shaped room. This room can only accommodate one person because most of the area of the room is occupied by a golden platform. The furnishings on the platform are in a fan shape, and on the platform is the so-called gift from the gods.
When Su Yun stood in front of the fan-shaped platform, he could see every corner of the island and the endless blue waves outside the island.
The gift from the gods sparkled in the sunlight and the reflection of the golden platform. It was extremely beautiful in itself, like jade or fresh snow. It was very large, but unfortunately it was incomplete.
No...it shouldn't be said that it is incomplete, it should be like this.

The gift from the gods is nothing more than Anita's snake shedding.
Anita's snake slough is only half, and the other half of the skeleton will not shed. But who would have thought that this flawless snake slough actually came from a half-rotten monster?
Like Anita
Like the prototype, he is half the most beautiful in the world.
Su Yun reached out and gently stroked it. The cold touch felt as if the little white snake was coiled on his arm again. Su Yun sighed and smiled slightly: "You guys! You guys..."
As if to complement the current scene, beautiful and lingering music sounded faintly at this moment. The mobile phone hanging on Su Yun's wrist naturally lit up, and the last scene of the "Joy" chapter appeared on the screen.
The music at this time is no longer as frivolous and cheerful as at the beginning. It is as obsessed as a snake and as sweet as honey. The soprano voice sounds interspersed with the mandolin strings, free and unrestrained like a bird soaring in the sky.
Su Yun slowly sat down on the golden platform. The huge white snake skin seemed to be able to wrap him up. He bent over, hugged his knees, and looked down at the screen.
This is the grandest scene in "Joy", the slave auction.
This was a feast of cruelty and sin, and Anita was the most dazzling delicacy at the banquet. She sat high on the flower-filled platform, holding her piano in her hands.
After a series of fragmented and chaotic string sounds, the soprano's scale lowered, like a bird swooping over a tranquil lake, causing slight ripples and adding wrinkles to its snow-white reflection.
The song began. It was a wedding ballad, a song of praise. Su Yun now fully understood the meaning of the lyrics. He could even hum along with the tune:
[…I finally found you, we will be together forever]
[The stars bear witness to my love, death cannot separate us...]
…
What a happy tune this is? But at this moment, Su Yun heard Anita's voice, saying...
"Father God, I'm in so much pain."
At that moment Su Yun fell into a trance. The snake skin behind him was like Anita's arm. She embraced him carefully but irresistibly, and then licked the back of his neck obsessively and fanatically.
The beautiful song gradually faded away, and the people below the stage also faced an extremely painful death. Anita turned around and stood up among the flowers. On her face, which was laughing heartily, her red eyes were enchanting and charming.
Amidst a sea of corpses and blood, the protagonist's back appeared. Anita stopped dancing. She looked at Su Yun outside the screen and smiled, but tears rolled down her eyes.
Wait a minute… in this chapter, in this plot… did Anita cry?
Su Yun was not sure. As he listened to the increasingly sad music, he suddenly realized that from Alice to Anita, it seemed that the music at the end of all chapters was sad.
Su Yun put down his phone and looked down. The golden fan-shaped platform reflected a faint luster mixed with a strange atmosphere.
This time, his shadow disappeared.
The author has something to say: Thank you for your concern! I am doing very well, and I enjoy everything I eat. And because the Canadian dollar has fallen sharply recently, I can order takeout and add a dish with the same RMB.
