Eye Demon Gel has become a devout believer of the Sunshine Church. No, to be precise, he is now the high priest of the church, responsible for listening to oracles!
After all, he was the first person to come into contact with the file.
That file, now called the Holy Scripture, is placed in the temple of the holy city and is something that all believers must worship.
What Gel had to do every day was to get up early, take people to worship the holy scriptures, and then come to the holy slope to pray.
Holy Slope is a hillside outside the city. It became a holy place because someone saw green grass growing here and thought it was a miracle. Moreover, this was not a lie. They did find traces of newly withered grass and trees here, which was impossible in the Dusk City where the gods were dead.
Today is the day of prophecy.
The Sunshine Cult's pilgrimage reached its peak.
But there is still no consensus on where the orthodoxy of the Sunshine Church lies.
Of course, Gel considers himself to be orthodox. Their doctrine is salvation by God, and the God who is about to appear will save them.
Some branches believe in strict self-discipline, not killing or cannibalism.
Another branch belongs to the destruction faction, believing that the coming of the gods is not a good thing for the eye demons, a race that only emerged after the eternal twilight. Perhaps the promised paradise is not prepared for them at all, and when the gods reward, all eye demons will be punished.
Different branches attack each other, each claiming to be the orthodox one.
Some people are just there for fun, thinking that maybe all this is just a prank and that the gods will never come down. By then, maybe a few people will come out and say sorry to everyone, they were all lying to you.
As long as people who like fun don’t really believe in something, they won’t get hurt and will always be invincible.
The timekeeping method of Dusk City is based on the subtle changes of a plant. When its leaves stand up, the day begins. Then, the leaves will gradually shrink until they stand up again at midnight.
In other words, Dusk City designed its own alien time standard according to this law.
After all, it was dusk and no one was seriously calculating what time it was.
As the day began, everyone gathered around the city felt something a little different.
After the pilgrimage, the believers inexplicably felt that the dusk seemed different.
"Look, is it a little brighter over there?"
"It's an illusion, isn't it all that color?"
"Really, I think this is definitely brighter than before."
"No, isn't it still the same color?"
"Really, really, I also noticed some light!"
Those people looked at the horizon, and in the gloomy and unchanging twilight, there seemed to be some real burst of light.
The next moment, when everyone was looking up at the sky, a beam of light pierced through the clouds and shone straight onto the earth.
The light seemed to have substance, like a finger, lighting up the earth.
In the dusty air, the light brings tears to one's eyes.
Although the eye demons had no tears, they still opened their four eyes wide, wanting to take in this miraculous scenery and engrave it deep in their memories.
The next moment, more light pierced the darkness, and the dusk that had lasted for a hundred years in Dusk City came to an end.
The sun shines on the earth, it is an incomparably bright and scorching sun, which hurts people's eyes and makes it difficult to open them.
Bathed in the sunshine, the beholders cheered and jumped for joy. Countless of them had tears in their eyes and cried like children.
At this moment, all the heresies, disputes, and arguments about who was orthodox in the Sunshine Church became unimportant.
Everyone ran wildly in the sunshine, feeling the joy that had not been felt for a hundred years.
At this time, someone discovered that a relic suddenly appeared in the wilderness outside the city.
The ruins looked dilapidated, but there were towering buildings everywhere, full of grandeur and indifference.
“Is this Paradise?”
The eye demons had already thought that the god had resurrected when they saw the blazing sunlight, and at this moment, the appearance of the ruins further confirmed the contents of the prophecy.
God is really back!!!
While everyone was excited, the Sunshine Church arrested a group of people who had previously believed that the prophecy was false and tried to sabotage the Sunshine Church's missionary activities.
They believed that these might be malicious, fallen beings from the darkness, trying to block the coming of God.
They must be punished!!!
These dozens of people were escorted to Gel, who took a look at them.
"I will enumerate your sins, and God will punish you."
Ger waved.
"First, the sin of arrogance..."
He spent some time reading out the charges, and then the Eye Demon standing behind the prisoners raised his knife and beheaded them all for public display.
Afterwards, he asked the Sunshine Cult to stop those who tried to enter the paradise early.
“The paradise should only be accessible to those who are fully devoted, and we should set up a screening agency at the gate to judge each person’s qualifications.”
Ger and his followers gave some instructions and then came to the gate of paradise.
"I will be the first to step into paradise and welcome God's grace."
He walked into the paradise with several eye demons. There was a gray fog all around them. Then, Gel saw a strange building. Inside the building sat an eye demon surrounded by smoke and with a yellow body.
"You need to buy a ticket to enter the amusement park."
The other party said.
"Buy tickets?"
This word means payment in the language of the Eye Demon. Eye Demons usually have no concept of economy. They usually only barter or rob if they have taken a fancy to something. Now, it probably means that you have to give him something.
"Everyone, to enter paradise, you must work hard. Those who do not work cannot be saved. This must be recorded in the scriptures."
Gol ordered.
The people around nodded in agreement.
Then, Gel thought about it and started vomiting.
The Eye Demon's stomach is very large and can hold a lot of food. When they are in desolate places and cannot find food, they survive on these stored food.
Soon, Gel vomited out a ball of half-digested meat, which was covered with a lot of saliva, enough for Gel to eat for two days.
"This should be enough for a few of us."
Gel placed the piece of meat on the table in front of the other person reverently and solemnly.
The yellow-bodied Eye Demon took a look at it, took it with a bit of disgust, and hesitated for a moment.
"Come in, here is the tour brochure."
He handed Geer several tour brochures.
"This is an oracle, a true oracle, and the rule of paradise. I must write it down, remember it, and spread it to everyone."
Ger said excitedly.
He and others walked inside, and they discovered that the building, which looked dilapidated from the outside, was actually bright and beautiful, and full of vitality. Wonderful music echoed in their ears, and the aroma of food wafted in, and it seemed to be filled with laughter.
"This is... this is... this is heaven!"
Geer couldn't help but shout excitedly.
