Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1280 The Twilight of the Gods (67)

Sitting on the bed, Li Jiting told Cheng Mo about the secret past of the organization "Black Death". Are they all called 'Nebuchadnezzar'?"

"Yes. Our ID is inherited. And there is a very cool hidden title."

"It's not Lucifer, is it?"

Li Jiting snapped his fingers, "Guess is right! But there is no reward."

"No wonder I wanted to register Lucifer or Lucifer in the Hall of Valor, and the prompt was an illegal ID."

"Heaven and hell are two sides of one body, just as god and devil are two sides of one body. Thousands of years ago, the church chose to hide the truth and separate the two for the sake of secular authority and fear of God. They believed that as long as they prostrate themselves at the feet of God, God will not do anything to human beings, so "true knowledge" becomes an evil thing, and maintaining ignorance and chaos is the way for the church to please God. Those who choose to believe in "true knowledge" naturally become followers of Satan. "Sacred Classics" portrayed this split as the fall of Lucifer, accusing Lucifer of betraying God, which is actually not wrong. Just like we civilized people came to primitive tribes, most people think that this rare The cultural customs and natural scenery at first sight are preserved, and the tribe is not destroyed by civilization. As for the misery of the primitive tribe, it is just right, because of the inhuman misery. It is also a part that we civilized people should study. But there are still some slightly People with conscience and morals believed that these primitive tribes should be freed from ignorance and become members of modern society, so they secretly gave them books, radios and televisions, and gave them the opportunity to change their primitive appearance.”

Cheng Mo sighed softly, "This is really a not-so-fresh story. It has happened countless times on Earth."

Li Jiting nodded, "So maybe there is nothing new in the universe."

"and after?"

"Later, just like what was written in your father's book, the church accused the priests who chose true knowledge as being tempted by fallen angels, and classified those who studied 'true knowledge' as believers of the devil, which was a betrayal of God. So Satan believers were forced to go underground. At that time, we had a common name of the Gnostic sect, Lucifer. It was the exclusive title of our "Lord of the Black Death" for thousands of years." Li Jiting smiled and said, " Haha, at that time it was a stinky street name, not cool at all, and what was waiting for you was death. In fact, what we believe in is not Satan, but the knowledge that Satan taught us, that is, science, when the church But we hate those of us who believe in science, and slaughter and burn our people like a witch hunt. However, we have also done a lot of cruel things for the sake of true knowledge and to awaken mankind."

"For example. What happened in the ruins of Asgard?"

Li Jiting nodded, "Yes. In such an era, there is no way to destroy ignorance except death. We have also succeeded. As the church gradually declines in decay, our group of people who pursue true knowledge slowly came out of the shadows , and gradually gained an advantage in the struggle with the church. Unfortunately, where there is power, there will be struggles. Just like the church is torn apart, those of us who believe in science have also been torn apart into many organizations." He smiled helplessly After a while, "In fact, because of academic reasons, those of us who call ourselves 'true knowers' are more thoroughly divided than the church, but our relationship is not incompatible, but more complicated and intertwined. Exclusive relationships, for example, I am not only a member of the Golden Dawn, but also a member of the Inheritance Society”

"These plots are really like a nine-rate science fiction novel."

Li Jiting shrugged his shoulders, "I dare not write novels like this."

Cheng Mo was about to ask what happened to the "Land of Ruins", when a fireball appeared in the night sky outside the window.This red meteor fell from the Milky Way, like a spark falling into the world.

Li Jiting stood up immediately, and guided by the firelight, he walked through the bedroom, passed through the white window screen floating in the wind, and came to the balcony, staring at the meteor disappearing in the east.

Seeing that Li Jiting remained silent for a long time, Cheng Mo also walked to the balcony.

The starry sky on the balcony is dense, the night is as cool as water, and there is a feeling of being too cold at a high place.Cheng Mo turned his head to look at Li Jiting. He leaned on the cold marble railing and looked towards the east. His face showed a kind of poetic sadness, just like a modern Chinese painting. In the star tower, there are solitary birds flying by, and there are poets who hold poems and worry about the country and the people.

At this moment, Cheng Mo inexplicably realized that the night had really fallen, the world was silent, except for the slight sound of the wind, all sounds disappeared.But you never felt safe in the silence, instead you felt a little terrified, like sinking into the deep sea.You are constantly sinking, and as far as the eye can see, only the glimmer of light floating on the sea surface remains.

Li Jiting said suddenly, "I've been tired of this kind of life for a long time." He looked at the vast galaxy across the night sky and said softly, "A long life is not only happiness, but it is not even worthy of being called misfortune. When you face yourself When loved ones age and die, you have nowhere to escape. So your whole long life is used to escape this misfortune, constantly letting go, constantly abandoning, constantly restraining, constantly leaving, and then enduring These are not the most painful. The most painful thing is your continuous efforts, you want to make this world a better place. The longer you can live, you will find how naive your thoughts are. Human beings live forever In the endless cycle of reincarnation, the media spreads lies even though they know the truth, the soldiers want to kill people even though they know the crime, hundreds of millions of people stand by and watch as if they are watching a show, and some people hold power, they can change history, but The choice has nothing to do with me. For a long time I felt ashamed of myself. I thought I could do better and use my strength to change the world, but I have become so powerful, but I still can't change anything. I want Transforming God's genes so that everyone has the right to say no to power and materialism, all of this is meaningless now."

Some faint anxiety grew in Cheng Mo's heart. This anxiety was like a seed that broke out of the ground and was growing crazily. He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

"Xie Jili is dead." Li Jiting lowered his head, "I am very disappointed in human beings."
