Chapter 211 - 206 Redemption

Because at last, she could survive.

Moreover, at that time, she found a friend.

It was a little girl close to her age, different from the other children who were scared of Liliana because she was always worshipped by the followers, she didn’t care about that.

No, the real situation was that she herself was disliked for some reason, hence she was always alone, and therefore, she longed for a friend, even if that friend was a bit different.

In this way, as if licking each other’s wounds, the two became friends.

But no matter the reason, a child’s friendship does not contain so many impurities. They quickly started playing together and felt genuine happiness.

They talked about everything, and thus, Liliana also learned why the girl was so unpopular.

"...Why does everyone dislike you?"

"...My grandma said it’s because my parents were too greedy. This village had a development plan; if the deal was struck, everyone could become wealthy.

But, my parents wanted to deceive everyone and get more money for themselves. When everyone found out, they still refused to let go and used various means to force others to keep quiet. A big conflict broke out, and they even fought. Seeing this, the developer withdrew, and then, everyone who should have become wealthy missed their chance.

Everyone blamed my parents for it, so they killed them right there. Since then, they’ve been holding onto that event, and they don’t like me either."

"That’s impossible." Liliana couldn’t believe it, "Everyone is really nice, they can’t dislike you just because of that."

"I don’t understand either." She shook her head, "But I’ve heard that human nature is a very complicated thing, something we can’t understand. Maybe we will when we are grown up."

"Grown up, huh... It feels so distant. I don’t know if I’ll still be here by then, by your side. I... don’t want to go anywhere else."

Finding stability at last, Liliana felt a bit of fear towards the unknowns of life.

She didn’t want to make changes.

"It’s okay." She comforted, "Even if you’re not here, we are still friends, and I will come to find you."

"Really!? But... that’s impossible, right? We can’t live without adults, so we have to do what they say."

"It’s not a problem!" She smiled confidently, "My grades are really good; those universities will beg me to attend, and I’ll definitely find a good job. Once I have a job and money, I won’t have to look at their faces, and I can go wherever I want!"

"Grades, huh?" Liliana’s smile took on a touch of bitterness, "That’s great, I wish I could go to school too."

"They won’t let you, that’s a problem, but don’t worry! Once I’m working and have money, no matter where you are, I will come to find you. Wherever you want to go, I’ll take you there! I promise! After all, we are friends!"

"Thank you, Vi..."

It was then that they made a promise.

That they would be friends forever, no matter what happened, they would never forget each other, they would always go to each other’s side, and never betray one another, keeping their friendship eternal.

But not long after, Liliana ended that friendship with her own hands.

Eternally ended it.

Those followers considered this village a stronghold, attempting to spread their teachings to revive their faith.

At first, the villagers were indifferent.

However, while they were all kind people, that didn’t mean they were without desires.

As long as people have desires, they will ultimately pray to God.

And on that day, God descended upon the village.

God’s arrival was for a simple reason, because living was truly troublesome.

God existed to satisfy the desires of humans during their lives.

In this village, everyone had one wish, that their children could leave their home and venture into the wider world to live a better life.

They had had enough of a lifetime looking at mountains upon mountains, day after day repeating the same monotonous and tiring work. They did not wish for their children to suffer the same hardships.

And the only hope was in education.

But education was a cruel path with limited places available. There would always be those who were excluded, thrown into the trash bin.

They desperately hoped their children would succeed and approached it with an almost coercive expectation; they could not bear the thought of their children’s failure.

But the parents, who spent their entire lives in the mountains, knew no better methods of education than the stick.

Hence, irreconcilable conflicts arose between them and their children.

Apart from watching their children struggle with their studies, they could offer no help.

They could only feel lost, anxious, and worried. It was then that they found a new way to help their children—by praying to God.

Whether praying to God was helpful did not matter; what was important was that they were making an effort for their children.

This action alone allowed them to escape from confusion and anxiety.

As a result, the number of believers grew.

Over time, most people in the village developed faith in God.

However, human desires are never fully satisfied, and the villagers soon grew discontent with mere self-comfort.

It was then they all heard something from their children.

That couple’s child had scored the first place again.

Whether out of envy or some other reason, the villagers, already resentful of each other, found an outlet for their frustrations!

"That damned family, as if ruining our lives once wasn’t enough! Now they want to ruin our children’s lives too! How malicious! They’re practically like demons!"

"I remember when the development project was about to start, they seemed to have performed some kind of ritual! Although it looked like a common peace-seeking ritual back then, in hindsight, they must have been conducting a demon’s ritual! Their purpose was to take everything from us!"

"I’ve always felt it strange! That ritual definitely stole our luck, causing our children to fail to get into better schools! What a heinous crime indeed! They’re truly determined to curse us for life!"

If one person was gone, there would be one more spot available, and their own child might have a chance.

That was the shortsighted thinking of theirs.

"They are demons! Their child must also be a demon!"

"Demons must face trial! This is the means of redemption that God has given us!"

According to doctrine, humans are born sinful and must seek atonement, the way of which is written in the doctrine.

But that doctrine was quickly appended with new content.

Demons must face trial! This is human atonement!

The small malice in a person’s heart could not cause much harm, but when the malice in many hearts compounded, it would ultimately create madness.

Therefore, they concluded that the Holy Fire must be used to ignite the demons and burn away all their evil sins! Only then could people find redemption!

Thus, the good villagers began a righteous trial against the demons!
