Chapter 293: Chapter 251: God, I Pray with All My Might!_3

So...

What would you pray for?"

Xilan shook his head and smiled,

"I cannot tell you, only I and my God knows."

Casas and Antion turned their heads with difficulty, after tonight, they would be separated by death, their cheeks wet, Xilan’s calmness pained them, yet they were powerless.

Finally, the figures of the two faded in the cell, they slowly left Xilan, bidding him farewell forever.

Xilan raised his face, looking at the silent cell.

The prison guards had fallen asleep, no one came to disturb him.

Outside the prison, he could still hear countless spit insults, curses.

Tomorrow, he would die.

Slowly, Xilan raised his hands, he gathered all his strength, enduring the pain as he clasped them together.

He was about to pray.

He was not asking how long his pain would endure, nor when he might be saved,

but as many times before, he whispered in prayer,

"God, do not grant me glory!

Clothe me in sackcloth, bestow upon me thorns."

The voice of that prayer fell.

Thousands of miles away...

Those fleeing True Believers kneeled on the ground, remembering the Priest who led them in faith, guided them towards the Heavenly City.

Once again, they wept uncontrollably as they prayed.

"God,

save him, please."

"Praise you, God, thank you and praise you, for You are our God, for your kingdom will come, bringing endless peace and joy."

"God,

please save him!"

Prayer... what immense power does it contain?

Perhaps no power, and no power had ever existed.

It was just a plea, just a voice.

Or perhaps...

it held limitless power.

In the cell...

Xilan trembled uncontrollably, inexplicably shedding tears.

Just now, he seemed to hear again the unified prayers from the Pattern Garden, those sunny days when people’s prayers instantly converged and echoed.

Maybe...

The old faith was strong enough to shake heaven and earth, God would eventually hear all the voices in the prayers.

"God, with your favor, I have succeeded, I have done it."

"I was weak, I was shortsighted, I was arrogant...

On that day, I lost everything, all thoughts ceased,

I could see no hope."

"But not until I saw a beam of light coming, did I realize you still loved me!"

Xilan wiped his tears, continuing to pray,

his voice filled the entire cell.

"Lord,

You are justice, you are the truth...

Lord,

You are God!

Grant me another mission, I beseech you to grant me another mission!

Let me lead more people for you, let me accomplish your Heavenly City, even if I must die, I am willing to martyr my path, for you, I am willing!"

"Lord, we are dust, we are ants,"

He ignored the pain in his hands, trembling heart, making a thunderous declaration,

"We are also children of God!

Lord, let me follow you, let me pray for all the good people, pray that they see your kingdom coming, see your truth."

Xilan shivered violently, the prayer’s words reverberated in the cell, tearing apart all despair, like an unstoppable torrent of hope.

The prayer erupted with unimaginable power.

He declared aloud:

"Let me fight for you, let New Rule Garden lead more people, we shall no longer be weak, no longer frivolous, no longer arrogant!

We will pray in joy, and in pain, we will pray in glorious Palaces, and in desolate wilderness."

"We pray, even when we have nothing!"

"Let us pray with all our might,

Until the whole world praises you as the King of Kings! Forever the King of Kings!"

After this,

as if sensing something, Xilan peacefully smiled,

he moved from trembling to calm,

"One day, You will remove my sackcloth, take away the thorns,"

"And from then on,"

"The dry well will turn into a springing well, happiness overnight even in Leprosy Valley."

.........

.........

The next morning’s dawn rose, the prison guards knew that man was to die, their hearts filled with endless sighs.

When the executioners arrived at the prison to escort the man to the execution site, they took out the keys, punctually opened the cell door, only to discover the Priest had vanished without a trace, the entire cell empty.

He had disappeared into thin air, as if a miracle had manifested, no one knew where Xilan had gone, perhaps he had miraculously escaped from the prison, then laid exposed in the wilderness,

Or perhaps...

He left the painful Mortal World, heading towards a perfectly beautiful new world.
