Chapter 890: God-Making
As the Pope finished speaking, Yanile's face suddenly turned pale, and the aura around him became violently disordered. The faint holy light that lingered around him suddenly went out completely.
Deep in his heart, something that was once constant and unchanging suddenly had a huge crack.
A trace of blood with a white holy light flowed from the corner of his mouth and stained his fingers that were raised in a daze. Against the backdrop of his pale skin, it looked particularly shocking.
Facing this scene, the Pope just calmly watched Yanile, who was struggling. There was some unknown meaning in his eyes with a white holy light, as if he was waiting for something.
Gradually, as time passed, Yanile's eyes slowly calmed down, and a ray of determination rose from the depths of his eyes again.
The pale white holy light reappeared from his body, seemingly no different from before, but it seemed to have some essential difference.
"How do you feel at this moment?"
Seeing this change, a ray of expectation flashed in the eyes of the Pope.
"...There is no difference."
After exhaling lightly, Yanile looked at his hands and answered in a low voice.
"Very good! Very good!"
Hearing this, Saint Messia III finally showed a look of relief on his face.
"Although you have been shocked by the truth, it has not touched the root of your faith. Your true faith is not "God", but light.
Even if this light crystal disappears now, you will not be affected too much, because faith always exists.
And this is the most critical requirement to become the Pope!"
"Become the Pope?"
Hearing the words of the Pope, Yanile was shocked again.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Don't worry, in our position, many secrets must be known. Even if we don't want to know, everything is bound to happen."
Turning around and looking at the huge light crystal in the center of the cave, the Pope spoke in a low tone.
"God does not exist. This is a secret that only the Pope is qualified to know.
There is no God, nor is there any kingdom of God. What responds to people's prayers from beginning to end is nothing but people's own faith.
I admit that He is very powerful, extraordinary powerful.
But He is not God after all. He is just a cold product of alchemy, a container for the power of faith.
Although some special changes have occurred due to the infiltration of endless power of faith, it is just a simple improvement of carrying capacity and feedback efficiency. The gap between becoming a god is like the distance between the sky and the earth!"
As he said, the Pope turned around again and stared at Yanile.
"But you know, Yanile, it shouldn't be like this, there is something that always limits it!
According to the fragmentary records of ancient times, the gods really existed at that time. The existence of the power of faith also proves this from the side. The power of faith he collected should have reached the limit of deification long ago.
But what happened after that? Why did the gods disappear? Why can't the gods appear again? Where did the gods go?"
"Your Holiness..."
Looking at the somewhat excited Pope, Yanile was a little frightened and couldn't help but try to end the topic.
"So, after becoming the Pope, once I had free time, I looked up ancient documents and tried to find clues related to that lost history."
However, the Pope completely ignored Yanile's interruption.
"Finally, on a stone tablet handed down from the ancient golden age, I found some information about all this.
It was a war, a war beyond anyone's imagination, a war between the high elves and the nameless existence, which ended the final battle of the entire ancient golden age.
We don't know the cause and process of the war, but in the history after that war, there is no trace of gods.
That war changed the basic rules of this world, and there is no way forward.
The high elves exchanged the future of all the creatures in the world for the suspension of that war, yes, just a suspension.
The ancient final battle has never ended, but has been extended indefinitely. It is still going on until the past, present, and the future after who knows how many years."
"Your Holiness, why are you telling me this?"
Hearing this, Yanile finally couldn't help but ask a question.
"Didn't I say that the day of final judgment is coming? Without the Lord's glory, the whole world will be forever sunk into endless darkness."
With a cold smile, the Pope said a piece of information that was like a bolt from the blue.
"Half a month ago, 'God' gave me a new revelation. The dark existences that were lost in the ancient final war have now re-locked the coordinates of the main material world.
Now, the darkness of the mythological era is about to come again, and people need a God who can protect the world.
If the rules are missing, then make up for them again. If the gods are not here, then create a god that belongs to us!"
"!!"
Hearing this, Yanile finally couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.
Artificial gods!
At this time and place, in the most sacred place of the Holy Light Church, the holy words spoken by Pope Saint Messia III himself are even more blasphemous and treasonous than the most evil and twisted pagans!
"Don't look at me like that, Yanile."
Having anticipated Yanile's reaction, Saint Messiah III walked up to Yanile and spoke in a low voice.
"In this cold world, no god will have mercy on all living beings. The only ones who can have mercy on us are always ourselves, only ourselves!"
"But, this is blasphemy..."
Looking at the pope's eyes flashing with a faint holy light, Yanile murmured.
"Yes, this is blasphemy."
With a cold smile on his face, Saint Messia III nodded, with a little pity in his eyes.
"But, it is also saving the world."
"..."
Looking at the pope in front of him, Yanile opened his mouth, and finally just lowered his head gently.
"So, Your Holiness, what do you need me to do?"
"Don't be afraid, Yanile."
"Do you know? There is actually no god in this world, but because people need gods, 'god' appears.
The true meaning of the scriptures is actually to praise the greatness of people."
Facing the silent Yanile, the pope's tone softened.
"Do you remember the first verse of the first chapter of the Holy Scripture?
Ancient foreign objects brought twisted darkness, which devoured people. People called on God in despair, so God came with supreme glory and exiled the darkness and foreign objects.
From the beginning to the end, 'God' came from people. We do not worship idols because God exists in everyone's heart.
It is people who need light, so there is light in this world!"
