...The one chosen by the gods?
What a ridiculous and ironic identity this is.
If God is a collection of evil without will, then what are the people chosen by God? What is God's favor? What is this sect that worships gods?
Su Yun looked at Edelman who was so close to him. He looked at his fanatically happy face as if he was watching a vulgar and boring pornographic joke.
Until now he still doesn't know which world is real, but the answer is...it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Su Yun looked directly into Adelman's eyes: "What is 'Dragon Blood'?"
"I prefer to call it rose water rather than dragon's blood. But no matter what it is called, it is the most delicious wine in the world for you, and it is also the elixir of immortality given by God," Edelman said softly. "I will take you to the garden, where there are the most beautiful and fragrant roses."
"You will definitely survive." Edelman's voice sounded like both a plea and a prayer. "You must survive... As long as you survive, we will welcome God's Su Yun and gain eternal life."
Su Yun met the man's eyes. He knew that his eyes were now a strange silver color, but he still locked his eyes directly on Adelman. He could see his own reflection in Adelman's eyes.
Edelman's breathing became more and more rapid, his eyes seemed to gradually fall into a trance, and his expression became more and more strange, as if he had encountered and fulfilled his dream of eternal life.
"Let me go." Su Yun said to him gently, "Then take me to your garden."
Edelman woke up as if from a dream. He stood up immediately, looking a little panicked, and even a little confused: "I am the one who offended you! Did I make you feel uncomfortable? This is all my fault."
"Take me to the garden." Su Yun still stared at him blankly and repeated once again, "Now."
Edelman stared at his face lingeringly, and after a long while he came back to his senses and smiled: "Yes."

Su Yun finally left the experimental cabin in a wheelchair.
His lower body still had no strength, and walking for long periods of time would be a burden on him, so he had to compromise on his method of travel.
There were many exits in the experimental cabin. Edelman took him to an empty passage. He pushed Su Yun's wheelchair and kept recounting the truth he believed in.
Hot and crazy.
Even if Su Yun didn't look back, he knew that Edelman's eyes were always on him, and Edelman would stop from time to time just to bend down and get closer to him.
The two walked like this intermittently for about ten minutes and finally reached the end of the passage, but when the gate slowly opened, what appeared in front of Su Yun was not a garden.
This is a vast platform, as spacious as a small square. There is no one in the square, but there are many small vehicles with strange shapes parked.
The very edge of the platform was completely enclosed, with transparent glass and metal supports forming a towering, protruding wall that exposed the scenery outside the platform to the two of them without any cover.
There were only dim indicator lights on the platform, so Su Yun could see the night outside the glass clearly. He suddenly realized that he was not in a deep mountain or a desert, but still in the ocean.
Yes, outside the window is the moonlit sea and countless star-like lights.
"This is paradise." Edelman sighed softly, "The place closest to God is our paradise."
Su Yun still remembered how he felt when he was transferred from the boat to the land, but that was just an illusion. The land under his feet was not the mainland.
Su Yun subconsciously asked: "Paradise? It's an island, right?"
"Yes, that's absolutely right. Paradise is a man-made island, an ark for the end of the world. We will drift on the ocean forever, waiting for God's awakening."
Edelman was happy to share what he knew. He pushed Su Yun to a small car and said, "Come on, we are going to the garden."
The indoor car was started, and then drove on a wide aisle with only indicator lights on. The glass walls and metal stretched all the way. The long road was empty. Su Yun could clearly see the sea not far away while sitting in the car.
The moon and lights shine on the sea, and the rippling waves are poetic and dreamy.
"I asked everyone to leave." Edelman continued to express his passion to Su Yun, "They don't need to be here. I am enough here. I will accompany you, guide you, and protect you. I am enough!"
Su Yun didn't listen to his nonsense, he just suddenly realized a problem.
It seems that the area of this "paradise" is indeed astonishingly large, and the guards should be very strict. Moreover, there is a boundless ocean outside this artificial island. It is too difficult to escape, and it is even more impossible for a captured "sacrifice".
However, fake
If Su Yun, who had just regained consciousness, had thought about escaping, then now that Su Yun had had a dream and heard a lot of words...
He doesn't want to leave.
No matter what, he wanted to see the rose.

Su Yun finally arrived at the so-called garden.
And this is indeed a garden.
After a two-hour drive, Edelman pushed Su Yun to the new sealed aisle. It was obvious that Edelman was very familiar with the route. They turned several corners and finally the view in front of them opened up. Another gate was lifted high.
This scene was full of familiarity, and Su Yun actually had a sense of déjà vu in the underground palace at this moment.
After the gate opened, Su Yun smelled the fragrance of flowers.
It was not roses, but the scent of various flowers. They came from many flowers that Su Yun knew and did not know. The complex fragrance converged into a brilliant torrent that caught newcomers off guard.
Various flower beds are made of different materials and are arranged in a large space. The snow on the mountains is surrounded by ice crystals, and the yellow and white bouquets sit on the white stones like clouds; the dense forest is in the middle of the swamp, and the fluorescent blue and tender flowers are clustered together...
This is indeed a garden, with all kinds of lighting coming from every corner, tropical bouquets planted in insulated glass covers, aquatic flowers floating in artificial rivers, and even rotten corners for saprophytic flowers to grow.
Su Yun looked around, and his vision was completely occupied by the endless colorful flowers.
The gate slowly dropped again, and Edelman pushed Su Yun forward. He introduced this garden of exotic flowers and plants, calmly as if introducing the weeds that can be seen everywhere outside the windowsill: "... All the flowers that humans have discovered are planted here. They are not important things, but the high priest thinks we need to add a little more embellishment to the garden."
The spatial layout here is very good. It seems that you can reach out and pick any flower at any time, but there are no vines on the road that may block people's progress. Everything is arranged where they should be.
At the end of the garden, a new gate appears in front of the aisle.
Edelman leaned forward and said, "We have come to the end of the Garden of Mankind. Next we will reach the real garden in Paradise."
The gate opened, revealing a narrow aisle behind it - compared to the aisle that could accommodate indoor vehicles, this aisle could indeed be called "narrow", but it was far superior to the former in all other aspects.
The inner walls and ceiling of this corridor are also covered with flowers.
These are countless artificial flowers made of precious materials. The materials they use represent almost all human concepts related to wealth, including gold, silver, platinum, various colored gemstones, large and small pearls, enamel stones, pearls, jade, crystal, amber, tourmaline; the production process also covers the ancient and modern stories handed down from China and abroad, including carving, hollowing, filigree, inlaying, casting, and splicing.
These precious and luxurious works of art replicate the flower garden behind the gates, and they are neatly arranged and hung in every corner of the corridor.
For a moment, Su Yun even thought he had come to Jasmine's storage room.
Edman finally stopped and looked at the end of the narrow corridor. His body trembled unnaturally with pain, but his expression became more and more excited.
Edelman might not be able to move forward, Su Yun suddenly realized this.
"We're here," Edelman said excitedly, apparently unfazed by his own pain. "This is the garden of paradise, and at the end of the garden is God's gift."
This beautiful narrow passage is the same as the maze on the ancient island of Creon.
Just as there is no essential difference between Paradise and Anita's underground palace.
Su Yun supported himself and stood up from the wheelchair. He turned and looked at Edelman: "You stand here, I'll go over."
Edelman: "No, no, I want to take you with me, I——"
"Don't move." Su Yun looked at him coldly, "Wait for me."
A flush appeared on Edman's face. It seemed that his bones could no longer support his body. He slowly knelt on the ground, and even his eyes gradually became blurred: "Yes."
Su Yun turned around, half-leaning against the wall and walking slowly forward. Soon he successfully reached the end of the aisle.
The wall at the end of the corridor was made of mosaic glass. Su Yun had only seen this kind of craftsmanship in churches, but the wall in front of him now was far better than all the artifacts he had ever seen.
A transparent semicircular bell cover was placed high on a heavy pillar carved from pure gold. In the bell cover, which was made of an unknown material, a bright red rose bud was about to bloom.
Even through this transparent protective layer, Su Yun could still smell the fragrance of the rose.
Su Yun looked at it for a long time, then took a step forward and opened the bell cover.
Then the rose bud blossomed before his eyes.

Edelman knelt on the ground, with only the empty wheelchair beside him to support him.
No, he shouldn't stop here. Su Yun is right in front of him. He has to go with Su Yun!
Edelman struggled to stand up.
His eyes were fixed on the end of the corridor, and he could vaguely see the back that had been haunting him.
A white robe and black hair simply tied up.
At the end of the corridor is the flower of God. The colorful glass is emitting a magnificent and dazzling halo. The light passes through the patterns of the scorching sun and roses, falls on Su Yun, and drags a long shadow behind Su Yun.
shadow……
The pure black shadows spread out like the entrance to a nightmare, and like the overflowing Styx, overflowing wantonly. They rolled and surged behind Su Yun, swallowing up all the light and leaving only endless darkness.
It was as if he also wanted to eat Su Yun in one bite.
The author has something to say: Muah!
