Chapter VIII The Oath and Judgment (7200(2/2)
Su Zhou closed the teachings in his hand and made a clanging sound comparable to a shield attack, which even made the Destroy Blade on the side turn dizzy for a while, as if looking for some weapons to collide.
"I've finished reading."
He turned his head and looked at Ai Meng. Su Zhou said in a deep voice, "Use religious beliefs to force and restrain the rules of 'good'... Not to mention whether it is useful or not, but everything is arranged in such a detailed manner, so how should we change it in the future?"
"It's like a certain organism was prone to breeding bacteria at that time because of breeding methods, so it was judged that it should not be eaten - but later generations had methods of safe breeding, so what should we do if we continue to let it go and stop others even if they eat it in a safe way?"
"This... my lord, isn't this up to you?"
In response, Aimeng folded his hands together and prayed in a low voice. He didn't know what to say, but said blankly: "You are always right. If the situation changes, then you will send out an oracle and ask the Lords of the Blessed Ones in the Central Holy Church to modify the Divine Covenant."
"...What does it mean that I am always right? And if I say that, if I don't say it, will you not change it yourself?"
Hearing this, Su Zhou finally realized that what was wrong with the people in this world and the detailed and outrageous teachings?
All believers, even God Himself, acknowledge that God is the eternal correct incarnation!
If God does not modify the error, the error will continue, and the man himself will never modify the error itself!
"You should have your own ideas and not rely on oracles in everything - what should you do if you encounter something without a code?"
When he handed back the teachings in his hand to Ai Meng, Su Zhou's tone was serious: "And, such a detailed code cannot satisfy everyone, right? If you accidentally make a mistake, will you also need to punish it? If someone questioned some codes and thought that this mistake was wrong and wanted to correct it, then would it be considered evil?"
"What if someone made a mistake but was not discovered by anyone?"
The young man's tone became heavier and heavier: "What if, what if I just thought about it but didn't actually do it?"
"This is natural. My Lord... I should not do things without a code of law, and that is also evil."
Aimon, who had never thought about this problem, couldn't help but get stuck. There was no relevant holy words in his mind, nor relevant oaths, and he could only answer with some stumble answers: "If someone makes a mistake, he should be punished. If someone takes the initiative to violate it, he is a heretic and evil person! Without telling God and questioning the precepts without authorizing him, he is naturally an extremely evil person!"
As he spoke, his words became smoother.
At this time, Aimon recalled the grievances that his family had suffered when he was a child and the unjust injustice that he had suffered when he was a child.
Indeed... Even though the Lord has thought so hard and arranged the way of good for everyone, there are always natural evil people who are happy to hurt others and deceive others.
Even if God makes a covenant with everyone, there are people who risk being punished, make mistakes, do evil, and hate others at the risk of being punished.
Just like those giant business officials who used to frame their family, and... those overseas pirates who would rather leave the mainland and live in the sea than abide by the precepts and oaths!
Those real heresies, just being, make Aimmon angry!
"So... my lord, strict punishment is necessary!"
Clenched his fists, Aimon raised his head and looked at Su Zhou with a serious face. His tone was even more pious, and even a hint of fanaticism: "It is because there are always people who make mistakes accidentally that you need your existence. You will judge good and evil and punish them. Suffer those evildoers who violate the oath between God and man, and tell everyone what kind of bitter fruit should they swallow if they don't walk on the right path!"
"It's just that I think in my heart, but I don't do it. There is no way. The Lord of Fire says: Evil is proved by behavior, and good is made first. Since we haven't done it, it's not considered evil. Therefore, we all must do our best to improve our hearts and get close to God. This is the test of walking on the right path and continuing for a lifetime!"
"As for doing it, but no one knows."
As he said this, the gray-haired priest laughed. The eyes of the middle-aged man, who was a decades-old man, seemed to have a light overflowing: "In this world, there may be crimes that people do not know, but there is no crime that you do not know!"
"No matter who is a person, as long as he commits a crime, he is destined to be punished - it may be a moment later, a moment later, or a few years later, as long as someone sees this scene, or even the criminal himself sees this scene, everything will be known to God - unless the criminal runs to the sea that cannot be enveloped by your divine realm, as long as he is on land, any criminal will definitely be punished as he deserves!"
When he said this, Ai Meng couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. He clasped his hands together again and was about to kneel down at Su Zhou: "It was because our sacred temple was not effective, so that too many evil heretics had to go to the sea, so that the waterways of the Holy Fire Continent and the New World were separated by pirates... However, my Lord, your God descended here, perhaps to punish those evil people!"
After kneeling down, the priest admitted his mistakes to his god and admitted his "wrong".
——The responsibility of the God of Fire is to maintain the code of conduct.
——The responsibility of the God of Wind is to explore the unknown.
My God of Judgment, your duty is to punish all mistakes!
"...I forgive you. It's not your fault."
Trial, punishment—
Su Zhou had heard these words many times in Ai Meng's heart.
What kind of judgment is this judgment? What kind of punishment is punishment?
The D&C did not write about it, and Su Zhou himself could not ask about such a question.
After all, he himself is the God of Judgment...at least in theory.
Seeing the high mood in front of him and wanting to show Ai Meng, who is now prosperous for his god, Su Zhou was embarrassed to break the fantasy of his believers and say something like, "I'm sorry, I'm not your god." "Your God prototype is me. I came here this time mainly to see what He is like and what is going on to make such a trash talk from God."
"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to ask you... Then, I'll ask Elias in person."
He wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed. Su Zhou shook his head slightly. He waved his hand and said helplessly: "Thank you for your hard work, Aimon, next I will go to see this city by myself. If you have something to do, go to rest."
"By the way, don't talk to other people about me."
"What's the hard work, my lord? All the problems are your tests on me, and I'm willing to accept them."
Aimon shook his head from the bottom of his heart, denying that it was hard work. He took a step back and made way for Su Zhou to leave: "I must keep my mouth shut. Even if the Lord of Fire comes in person, I will never let go!"
"...I didn't say it was going to this level. If the Lord of Fire really asked, you can tell him."
Su Zhou laughed at this, then turned around and walked slowly towards the alleys on the streets, while Aimon nodded seriously and replied: "Yes! My Lord!"
Looking at Su Zhou's back as he left, the gray-haired priest had love and respect from the bottom of his heart.
Then, a trace of doubt came out again.
——The Lord is so approachable and full of vitality.
However, it is different from the Lord of Judgment I thought in my past...
In my heart, the Lord of Judgment should be fair, majestic, and inhumane. It is like a gallow, like a beheading platform, straightforward and straightforward, and does not tolerate any sin or mistakes.
"Why... the Lord is so gentle? Isn't the Lord devouring all evil dragons? Why is he tolerant of evil men who are unwilling to obey the rules?"
"The Lord of Evil, God of Judgment, isn't this the power of the Lord and the name of God? Why..."
After thinking about it, Aimun couldn't find the answer.
And at this moment, he saw Su Zhou's back suddenly stop.
"Aimun, is the execution stand in the city center for trial?"
The priest heard the voice of his God, so he replied seriously and loudly, "Yes, my Lord, that is the place for the judgment of the wicked, heresy, and the unrighteous!"
"My Lord, there will be a judgment tomorrow. Do you want to do this? Please do not do this! Just leave it to us to deal with the dirty sinners who have been brought to justice."
"...How will you punish me?"
"The thief cuts his hands, the robbers cuts his legs, the whistleblows cuts his tongue, the escapees cut off his thumb, and those who intentionally hurt others beheaded."
"Unless they are hated by thousands of people and pray together, praying to you to take action and use thunder to destroy the evildoers, otherwise the Lord will not need to take action."
Aimeng smiled, his tone with justice that was no longer just, and he decisively said: "All this is your grace. My Lord, we humans may not be able to judge whether some people are evil, but you are the embodiment of justice. No matter who sins or whether they are known, he will endure unquestionable judgment."
But Ai Meng didn't see it. At this time, Su Zhou's face was changing slightly, and finally, he suddenly realized it.
——So that’s it, I understand!
He turned his head and looked at it all.
Su Zhou looked around the scenery of Xiguang City and finally realized in his heart: "This God of Judgment punishes all 'error', to put it bluntly, what is the difference between it and the heavenly tribulation system depicted in fate?"
"And although this world looks beautiful and perfect, and everyone is equal and without discrimination, the precepts are like this... Isn't this the prelude to the 'happiest future' depicted by fate?!"
At this time, Su Zhou had already taken another step. He said goodbye to Ai Meng, but his face was deep.
——Did I say that my derivative body has been eroded by fate, so he has been making a voice in the void?
The same is true of the previous intriguing attitude of Lord Ji? He also sensed the erosion of fate, so he was ready to change his attitude and plan?
No, fate and reincarnation are originally an ancient combination...
"Yala, what do you think of this world?" After thinking for a while, Su Zhou couldn't help asking about the snake spirit in his soul space.
But the red snake spirit who had been watching all this shook his head slightly and showed a subtle look: "I won't say it, Su Zhou, this time, it may really be your own trial."
"Is that true... I will definitely not like other people's answers. Even if it is Yara, I'm afraid I won't agree with it."
"Just you understand this."
Thinking of this, there is no answer in my heart.
