Chapter 208: Chapter 178 God Wants to Make a Covenant with People_2

Far away, Maisy caught sight of God on the throne.

In the vast Cloud Sea, there was only God, alone with no one else around.

For some reason, upon seeing God like this, pure-hearted Maisy’s tears surged to her eyes.

An inexplicable sorrow filled the angel’s mind.

God sat solitary on that throne—the creator of this world—appearing so lonely from afar.

Maisy fluttered her wings and quickly reached God’s side.

"What’s wrong, my Maisy, why are you crying?"

Chen Yi watched Maisy with gentle inquiry.

"Oh God...

You look so lonely."

The angel’s voice was so sorrowful that it involuntarily drew tears from others.

But God just smiled and said,

"Why do you feel that?"

Maisy softly replied,

"I saw from afar, just now,

in such a vast place, there were no angels accompanying you."

Chen Yi replied in a warm voice,

"Haven’t you all been accompanying me the entire time?"

"God, just now there weren’t, just a moment ago, even Solamus wasn’t there."

"Oh, is that so?"

Having said that, Chen Yi looked once more into the distance.

Maisy rubbed her eyes and stayed by God’s side.

Following God’s gaze into the distance, she saw nothing.

Suddenly, Maisy recalled how God had created them.

Unlike ordinary creations, angels were born from the spirit of God.

In other words, angels were like God’s hands and feet, extensions of God, part of God.

Then, Maisy glanced at God on the throne.

God conversing with angels... was like speaking with one’s own hands and feet...

It was like...

Talking to oneself.

Thinking of this, Maisy felt even more saddened.

It turned out... that for so long, there had been hardly anyone conversing with God.

"Why are you sad again?"

Chen Yi keenly sensed Maisy’s emotions.

Maisy lifted her head and asked softly,

"Oh God... we were created from your spirit, weren’t we?

To you, we are like limbs to a person, aren’t we?"

God gazed at Maisy and nodded slightly.

Subconsciously, He asked,

"Are you saddened by this?

Are you afraid that you are merely a part of me?

Or rather,

are you afraid that you don’t have free will?"

Unexpectedly to God,

Maisy shook her head and said with sorrow,

"Oh God, I’m afraid of your loneliness."

Maisy’s words brought a flicker of surprise to Chen Yi’s eyes.

Ordinarily, He wouldn’t directly look into the souls of the angels because He respected their free will.

Thus, at this moment, faced with Maisy’s pure words, even God was momentarily taken aback.

"You need not worry, Maisy."

God smiled tenderly, caressing the angel’s long hair,

"Long, long ago, I was much lonelier than now."

Maisy listened, stunned.

Though angels carried a portion of God’s memory, this did not mean they could feel all of God’s emotions through those memories.

Suddenly, Maisy remembered something and asked,

"Was it... in the very beginning? At the start... of creation?"

In that era before the world bore names,

when the people now spread across the earth had never existed, when even the earliest forms of life had not yet emerged from the aquatic cradle.

It was then God said,

"Is there anything in this world that can be called ’people’?"

Maisy remembered these words, and tears couldn’t help but flow.

What lay hidden within this seemingly ordinary phrase, only God knew.

God wiped the tears from Maisy’s face.

"You don’t need to be so sad, Maisy."

Hearing this, Maisy threw herself onto God’s throne, crying even more mournfully.

Chen Yi looked at the weeping Maisy,

And the tearful angel touched His heart profoundly.

After much time had passed, the Angel slowly wiped away his tears.

"Feeling better?"

Chen Yi asked softly,

"Maisy, do you know what I’m looking at?"

Maisy shook his head.

He did not know what God was looking at.

Seeing him so sad, Chen Yi said,

"Maisy, I’m looking at my Prophet Noen."

"Is that so..."

"Maisy, he is establishing the New Rule Garden on Earth, spreading the Ancient Language that I have bestowed."

Chen Yi recounted the scenes He had seen to Maisy, helping the Angel escape from his sorrow as soon as possible.

Then, God pointed into the distance.

"Beyond that, I see the future."

Maisy listened in silence, not knowing what kind of future God saw.

"I will give my chosen child a new mission."

Chen Yi whispered, gently stroking Maisy’s head.

"A new... mission?"

God looked into the distance, His whole being enveloped in eternal radiance,

"I want him to,

make a covenant with the people on Earth,

a covenant that will last forever, for ten thousand years and beyond."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

When Noen returned from the New Rule Garden one day, he stepped into his mansion, utterly exhausted after nearly a day of preaching.

The slaves were mostly illiterate and limited in understanding, and despite Noen repeatedly teaching them the Ancient Language, they often remembered it today but forgot it the next day.

Even so, Noen persisted.

The tale of the Prophet and the Ancient Language spread from the abandoned Temple, attracting not just the slaves, but the freemen, as well as Nobles great and small.

Noen treated all equally; although he had once been a slave, now he harbored neither resentment nor reverence for the high-status Nobles, treating everyone as ordinary people.

As the night grew deep, lying on a bed made of straw and woolen blankets, Noen, after making his prayers, slowly drifted into sleep.

A profound slumber enveloped Noen’s consciousness.

All around, the world sank into silence.

Noen’s body was deeply asleep, yet for some reason, he suddenly became aware that his spirit was awake.

Then, he dreamed of a luminescent being sitting upon His magnificent throne.

"God!"

Noen looked up at Him.

All this was just like when God had revealed His wisdom to Prophet Al in a dream.

God stretched out His hand, and then, a series of future visions appeared before Noen’s eyes.

Scenes flashed by like a whirlwind of images, and Noen first saw the Heavenly Descending Gem on the earth, its existence provoking war and awakening two Stars in succession.

One was the Death Star, and the other, the War Star.

Immediately afterward, Noen’s eyes widened as suddenly he saw in the deep starry sky, an invisible darkness standing tall.

Just one glance weighed him down like a thousand pounds.

But behind him stood God.

The light that emanated washed away Noen’s discomfort.

The radiant God pointed to the invisible darkness.

"Noen, when the time is fulfilled,

I will make a covenant with you."

Noen’s gaze followed, and the words swept over him like a miracle, as if his life’s mission had suddenly descended upon him.

The Prophet understood that the day of fulfillment would be the day his mission was accomplished.

He looked upon the Primordial Will.

There lay his mission.

Faced with the sudden mission, Noen’s first response was fear.

For he was human, not a deity, humans fear, humans wander.

But as he felt God’s light, he murmured,

"God, I am prepared, for the covenant shall stand for ten thousand years and beyond."

Many years earlier, when the old Priest had told him stories in the prison, when he had felt an immense push from the slaves’ prayers, he was already prepared.

He should not fear what lay ahead, nor shirk for lack of strength.

"Lord, when that day comes,

with what shall I make a covenant?"

God looked at Noen, simply smiling.

Without words, in that gaze, Noen suddenly understood everything.

A sense of indescribable sacredness soaked into Noen’s soul,

The Prophet saw the covenant God intended to establish, and the destined grace that would come.

When the day was fulfilled,

The Prophet would make a covenant.

With the love of man,

He would make an immortal promise to God.
