Chapter 085 The Hypocrite Son of God 3 The Little Liar and the God of Light.
[Before Jian Ziyan could express his shock at this sudden turn of events, 419 prompted: "The God of Light has locked onto you. He has fifteen seconds to arrive at the scene."]
Jane opened her eyes and for a moment she couldn't tell where she was.
What caught the eye was the tall golden dome, whose exquisiteness and brilliance were beyond the reach of even the dwarves, who were famous for their forging skills. It was so delicate that it did not seem like something that could exist in the human world.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the first thing he did was to look to the side. When he found that Ali was gone, his face changed and he immediately turned over and got out of bed.
He was halfway up when he saw a figure slowly walking in from the door, and stopped stiffly.
Like this exquisite building, this is also a handsome face that does not belong to the mortal world. The long silver hair flows to the ground, outlining his naturally tall and straight figure. The pair of golden pupils look over quietly, as silent as the deep sea, and as bright as the sun itself.
Even though they had never met before, Jane confirmed the visitor's identity in an instant.
Even though the current situation was completely beyond his expectations, this was obviously not the worst outcome—he was not dead yet! As long as he was not dead, there would be a chance for a comeback.
The possibility of a plate!
Jane's mind was racing as he tried his best to calm himself. Then he pretended to be flattered, got up from the bed, and knelt before the supreme god.
"Great God of Light, how can I use your bed? I am deeply moved by your kindness."
The God of Light lowered his eyes and stared at the top of his head, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"Don't you believe me? Why do you have to make such a gesture now?"
Jian's heart was about to jump out of his throat. He chose his words carefully: "May I ask the omniscient and omnipotent God of Light, how do you know that I am not sincere?"
I didn't expect that this little liar would dare to ask me such a question. The God of Light's eyes fluctuated for a moment, and a low and pleasant voice slowly flowed out.
"Don't you know that I can hear the Son's inner voice on the day of the divine sacrifice?"
Jane's heart skipped a beat. He finally understood why the God of Light saw that he did not believe in Him as soon as He appeared, but at the same time, a sense of ecstasy surged in his heart.
If the God of Light had only heard his voice that day, there would still be a chance for everything!
Jian raised his head. His eyes were obviously the darkest color, but they were flowing with the purest light. He knelt before the God of Light, like a wronged child who was acting coquettishly to an adult who loved him.
"May I ask, Lord God of Light, what did you hear that day?"
He asked, recalling rapidly in his mind.
Most of his energy that day was used to cast a large-scale Radiance Heaven, and he had no spare energy to think about too many things. The only thing that could make the God of Light judge him as a betrayer should be that sentence -
"You must say in your heart that the so-called true God does not exist at all. Otherwise, you, a liar who does not believe in the God of Light, may not survive the annual sacrifice."
The God of Light repeated his thoughts at that time in full, as if his eyes that saw through everything were staring at him quietly.
"As the Son of God, you don't believe in me. Instead, you use my name to deceive people in the lower world. How many years have you been deceiving people like this? If I hadn't gone to the lower world this time, how many more years would you have continued to deceive people?"
The accusation from the God of Light himself brought with it the overwhelming pressure of the God. The air suddenly became stagnant and Jane shuddered slightly.
The God of Light stared into his pupils motionlessly, not allowing him to escape at all.
"I..." Jian opened his lips tremblingly. The powerful pressure was beyond his ability to withstand now that he had lost the power of light. His flexible and slender back was forced to bend. Sweat soaked the black hair on his forehead and also gave his unique black eyes a watery glow.
The noble and holy Son of God actually had a pitiful temperament at this moment, and the pure and clean eyes made people reluctant to criticize him.
Even the God of Light couldn't help but feel a little shaken at this moment.
Is there really some hidden story behind this?
"I apologize to you for my ignorance and arrogance." Jane's voice was filled with sadness and shame. "I offended your divine power and tarnished your statement. You punished me and took back my power of light. It's all what I deserve."
The God of Light was silent for a moment: "You mean to say that what you thought at that time was not your true heart, and you actually believed in me?"
"How could I not believe in you!" Jane's voice suddenly rose, her face full of sorrow, "Do you know how strict the selection process is in the Temple of Light to choose a Holy Son? I have volunteered to go to the Temple of Light to practice the power of light since I was a child. If it weren't for my devout belief in you, how could I have become the best among all the candidates? The power of light comes from your power. You must know that people with darkness in their hearts cannot practice the power of light at all, right?"
He was so eager and pious that the God of Light looked at him and almost sneered in his heart.
What a little liar he was, he actually thought he could deceive the gods.
However, the God of Light had to admit that there was one thing that Jian said that was indeed correct, that is, people who yearn for darkness in their hearts are simply unable to cultivate the power of light. And when He took back Jian's power of light, He had personally felt how huge and pure the power of light in his body was.
This at least proves that Jane does not really want to awaken the Dark God. So what exactly has he been trying to do by wandering between darkness and light for all these years?
The God of Light was surprised to find that he should have been angry at the tiny human beings for daring to deceive him, but now he did not feel angry at all, only a rare curiosity.
He didn't even feel disgusted with this little liar who dared to deceive Him. He just wanted to continue and see what he was trying to do.
Seeing that the God of Light remained silent for a long time, Jane became more and more uneasy and nervous. His lips turned pale and even his palms were covered with sweat.
Of course, deceiving the gods was a daring and risky move, but he had no other choice. In order to survive, he could use all kinds of means. What did deceiving matter? As long as he could survive!
In Jane's trembling pupils, the calm face of the God of Light was reflected.
Just when Jane thought she had failed, the God of Light waved his sleeves and Jane was lifted up by an invisible force.
He raised his face with astonishment, and after realizing that the God of Light was standing very close to him, his eyes widened even more, and the astonishment in them was about to burst out.
The God of Light had always been high above and hidden behind the light, and just now he was kneeling in front of Him, so Jane didn't notice that even in human form, the God of Light's body was so tall and majestic that he needed to raise his neck to see his eyes.
The God of Light asked: "Since you believe in me, why do you think like that on the day of the divine sacrifice?"
"Because... I have never seen you." Jane suppressed the involuntary trembling of her body and replied, "As your holy son, I have never heard your call, and there is not even any trace of your divine manifestation to prove your existence... I thought you had abandoned the Bright Continent and your people."
When he spoke the latter part, there was a hint of sadness and grievance in the Son of God's tone.
The God of Light nodded and lowered his eyebrows, looking at the little saint who could only reach his neck: "So, you are blaming me for never responding to you?"
"I dare not." Jane lowered her head.
Anyway, we only heard his thoughts on the day of the god's memorial service. Whatever he thought before was up to him to make up.
As long as I can survive...as long as I can survive!
Jane suspected that the God of Light had heard his rapid heartbeat, but He did not blame him. Instead, He sighed softly.
"It is indeed my fault that I have not responded to the call of believers on the mainland for a long time."
Jane's head snapped up.
"Six hundred years ago, a great war broke out in the divine world. Many gods, including me and the Dark God, suffered heavy losses and were forced to fall into a deep sleep. They only woke up a few days ago."
The God of Light was explaining to him, and also to the millions of living beings on the continent who believed in Him.
"So I'm sorry that I haven't been able to respond to your call in these six hundred years."
Jian's pupils contracted and he opened his mouth, but too many emotions were stuck in his throat. He didn't know whether he should be shocked that the God of Light would actually apologize, or abandon all pretense and ask what happened six hundred years ago.
Six hundred years ago, the elves were exterminated.
He was not yet born at that time. The elves used all their strength to send his mother, who was pregnant, out of the forest. As a result, they became the last descendants of the elves.
The elves have a long gestation period and a long childhood. He was born with only his mother and grew up in his mother's hatred and sorrow until his mother died of depression. All he heard were the lamentations of how the God of Light had abandoned them and why he did not protect them.
He didn't understand, if the God of Light had never forgotten the creatures who believed in him, why would he ignore the catastrophe of the elves?
What happened six hundred years ago that caused a war among the gods, involving even the elves?
Jane's heart was shaken as never before. He looked at this god who was willing to explain and apologize to the creatures in the underworld, and for the first time he began to doubt what he insisted on.
If he is such a god, will he really just sit there and watch his believers suffer misfortunes?
Jian's eyes trembled, and he even forgot to disguise himself at this moment. However, the God of Light did not seem to notice his abnormality. He just turned around and left his back to Jian. His silver hair cascaded down, flowing with a brilliance brighter than the moon.
"Rest here." He said calmly, "I will come to see you tomorrow."
In that battle, he and the Dark God suffered the most serious injuries. Their consciousness has not yet fully recovered, and now they are exhausted. They must go back to adjust.
He did not intend to explain these words to the little liar, otherwise, who knows what other ideas he would come up with.
"Lord God of Light." Jane said, "There was a child with me at the time. May I ask how he is doing?"
The God of Light paused as he was about to leave and said, "The child has family on the mainland. I have sent him back."
Jane probably didn't expect that the God of Light who would apologize to living beings would actually lie, and she showed a look of relief.
He did not ask the God of Light why he went to so much trouble to bring him here. Anyway, with his strength he was completely unable to resist the God of Light. When the time came, the God of Light would naturally tell him.
…
【Jian Ziyan: "Exchange for that high-level item you mentioned, immediately, right now."
He didn't want to be knocked unconscious by these gods silently at any time again, which made him feel that his life was in danger.
While exchanging the money for him, 419 asked, "Do you think the God of Light believes your words?"
Jian Ziyan: "Why should I believe him? If he was so easily deceived, the Bright Continent would have been infiltrated by Western monsters long ago. It's a miracle that an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years can be so easily deceived."
419 panicked: "How dare you lie to Him like that? What if you anger Him and He kills you?"
Jian Ziyan: "Then what should I say? In front of the God of Light, on His territory, and then confront Him and say, 'I don't believe you, what can you do to me?' This sounds even more suicidal, doesn't it?"
419 was depressed: "What should I do? This world is really difficult. Just surviving is a problem."
It already regretted choosing this world for its host. Even if the host earned less in other worlds, at least his life would not be in danger.
Jian Ziyan smiled: "Xiao Jiu, you underestimate me too much. Even gods are not completely unpredictable. Aren't the God of Light and the God of Darkness listed as key characters? As long as they are characters, there will be strategies to capture them."
His previous panic had disappeared, replaced by a look of excitement in the face of a challenge that made 419 tremble.
"Conquering the gods sounds very interesting."】
Jian stayed obediently in the room prepared for him by the God of Light, without taking a single step out.
He was surprised to find that the God of Light had even prepared clothes for him to change into after bathing.
Jian hesitated for a moment, but still felt that if the God of Light wanted to kill him, he would not use this method. So he took a bath with peace of mind, washed off all the dust from his long escape, and then changed into the clothes prepared by the God of Light.
These clothes are similar to the ones worn by the God of Light himself, all with white as the base color, low-key and luxurious style, and wide sleeves and necklines.
This dress has a heavy and majestic feel when worn by the God of Light, so much so that it is impossible to notice what he is wearing. However, when worn by Jane, it has a unique sense of clarity and ethereality, and the wide neckline even reveals most of his fair and graceful collarbone.
Jane felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of clothes. It looked awkward no matter how he put them on. He was about to change back into his own clothes when he saw the God of Light walk in again.
Jane's fingers were on the front of his clothes and he was about to tear them open, but his movement froze in the middle. The God of Light looked at him at this moment, and the color in his golden eyes darkened slightly.
"Lord God of Light." Jian responded quickly. He straightened his clothes and asked naturally, "May I ask what instructions you have?"
"I want to ask you, are you hungry?" The God of Light asked in a deep voice, "I don't have any food prepared for humans."
Jane was stunned, not knowing whether she should feel flattered.
"Don't worry about me, Lord God of Light." Jane raised his bony hand, "I have enough food in my space ring."
The God of Light looked at him quietly for a moment, then turned and left without saying a word.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, he closed his eyes.
He closed his eyes and breathed quietly for a moment.
He originally didn't want to care about the little liar, but once He wanted to ignore him, a corner of his heart would spread with deep sadness and uneasiness, as if if He didn't care about him, His divine heart would fall in the next moment.
It was not until He expressed his concern that that corner of my heart gradually calmed down.
The God of Light opened his eyes, revealing a solemn look. He had thought that with the fusion of his spiritual consciousness and main consciousness, Jane's influence on him would gradually disappear, but he did not expect that he could not get rid of this influence until now.
Reason told Him that this was not a good thing, but perhaps it was the emotion of divine consciousness that made Him accept this change calmly and even happily.
The God of Light's eyes darkened slightly. He looked back and took heavy steps forward.
…
The next day, the God of Light arrived as expected.
Jane had been waiting for his arrival. He wanted to kneel down, but was supported by the gentle force from yesterday.
"You don't have to kneel to me." said the God of Light.
He didn't believe in Jane's faith in Him from the bottom of his heart. If that was the case, He would not accept her kneeling without sincerity.
Jane responded respectfully, and then waited meekly for the God of Light to give instructions.
"I noticed that your previous route was to the Cursed Land in the West." The first words of the God of Light instantly brought the atmosphere to a freezing point. "What are you going to do?"
Jian lowered his head, his eyes moving rapidly. He knew that this answer was crucial. Now that he had just expressed his loyalty to the God of Light, he must not give an answer that would make him doubt him.
After thinking it over again and again, he decided to take the safest approach, which was to directly state his true purpose.
"A few years ago, I made an agreement with the leader of the Western monsters." Jane looked into the eyes of the God of Light calmly, "I promised him that I would find a way to awaken the God of Darkness, but he had to not attack the continent before that."
The God of Light fell into a subtle silence
Little liar...are you suddenly changing your ways and starting to tell the truth?
"As the Son of God, how did you awaken the Dark God?" He asked, "Didn't the Western monsters doubt you?"
"Of course they don't believe me, but I said I have my own way." Jane's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "The Son of Light's fall into darkness is an exciting topic for them. They can't wait to see the day when I truly awaken the God of Darkness. All they need to pay is some time, which they are not afraid of spending."
He looked at the God of Light and said sincerely, "They can attack the continent, but they have no way to awaken the God of Darkness. For the God of Darkness, they are willing to wait."
The God of Light nodded, accepting this explanation.
Jane continued, "I have been trying to calm them down, telling them that I was making some preparations, but now something unexpected has happened... The Western monsters will definitely get the news, and they will realize that I deceived them. Under the influence of anger, it is hard to guarantee what they will do."
"So, you want to go to the cursed land in person because you are afraid of the suffering of all the people on the continent." The God of Light looked at him, "But you no longer have the power of light. Once you enter the cursed land, you will be corroded by darkness. At that time, you will also fall into a monster and will never be able to return to the continent."
Jane pursed her lips and smiled helplessly: "If that's the case, there's nothing I can do."
The eyes of the God of Light were like a golden sea. He looked at Jane, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
“Since this is your goal, then continue on your way.” He said, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I once made an agreement with the Dark God on the banks of the New Se River that if one of us attacks the other’s followers in the lower world, it would be equivalent to a declaration of war. So once I personally go to the cursed land, a war that might not have been started will be started because of me.”
Given Jane's current condition, asking him to go to the cursed land would be tantamount to asking him to die. The God of Light certainly knows this.
But how could He gamble the lives of thousands of creatures for the sake of one creature?
The God of Light thought so, trying his best to ignore the sudden pain in the corner of his heart.
He looked at Jane and asked slowly, "Do you hate me?"
By making this decision, He was clearly giving up on Jane. He knew it, and Jane knew it too.
However, there was no resentment in Jane's eyes, only a complicated feeling of relief.
The God of Light cares about the lives on the continent, which is really... great.
If the truth is really as the God of Light himself said, that He did not protect His believers only because of the war and slumber, then from now on, as long as they can get the protection of the God of Light, what's the problem with losing one of his people?
The life he had been holding on to became insignificant in the face of the promise of the God of Light.
The awakened God of Light will definitely do better than him, and this is what all creatures on the continent truly hope for.
So even if he died...what did it matter?
With a smile on her lips, Jane knelt down before the God of Light with unprecedented sincerity.
"If Jane knows, she will definitely achieve her goal."
…
Jane returned to the netherworld and did not go to the cursed land immediately, but found Havelot.
Havilot was so frightened when he suddenly saw him that he reflexively drew out his holy sword and was about to chop him. However, he immediately regretted it when he realized that Jane had lost the power of light and could not resist.
This sword will definitely kill him!
However, the imagined bloody scene did not appear. The holy sword swung by Havelot was blocked by an exquisitely crafted bow and did not hurt Jane at all.
Havilot breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether he was disappointed or relieved.
"Jane, where have you been these days?" he asked, "When I woke up, you, the Lord of Light, and... were all gone."
There was a hint of fear in his eyes, as he thought of another dark god.
"Would you believe me if I told you?" Jane said, "I went to visit the God of Light."
Harvelot showed a shameful expression: "Even if you don't want to say it, there is no need to humiliate me like this."
He, a person who betrayed the God of Light, could go to visit the God of Light, but he, as the Chief Paladin, knew nothing. Isn't this humiliating him?
Jane sighed secretly, he didn't have much time to waste, and looked straight at Havelot.
"Havilot, give me the Heart of the World Tree. I will find a way to destroy it. This is not something that the underworld should have. It is very dangerous no matter who keeps it."
"Are you still coveting the Heart of the World Tree?" Havelot showed a vigilant expression, "Jane, I'm sorry, I don't believe you. Unless the Lord of Light comes in person to ask me to hand over the Heart of the World Tree, I will not give it to anyone else."
"You don't know anything at all!" Jane showed an anxious look, and he pursed his lips, "I'm sorry too, Havilot, if you insist on not giving it to me, then I can only rob it by force."
Jian said sorry in his heart and was about to launch an attack when a skeleton suddenly emerged from the ground and blocked his way.
Havilot showed joy on his face, but Jane showed horror when she saw the skeleton.
