Chapter 333: Chapter 290: So God... Also Knows Sorrow?

In the dreamscapes of God.

These days, the angels who had been living a comfortable life in the Divine Kingdom were now becoming unsettled.

The Great Angels were created by the Divine Spirit, while the other angels were created by the Great Angels through the Divine Spirit, so no matter who it was, their origin was the Divine Spirit.

Therefore, the angels could more or less sense the subtle changes within God’s dreamscapes.

At first, only a few angels felt perplexed, but gradually, as the subtle changes in the dreamscapes increased in frequency and magnitude, the angels within the dreams became more and more flustered.

The Great Angels naturally noticed the changes within the Divine Kingdom; as Great Angels, they knew some of the reasons for the changes in the Divine Kingdom. Nevertheless, as panic spread throughout the realm, they couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

Schiller approached God’s throne, he lifted his face, gazing at the resplendent Divine Spirit upon the throne.

"My Lord, how much longer until the Advent?"

Schiller asked softly.

Chen Yi lowered his head, gently fixed his gaze on Schiller, and said in a soft voice,

"Schiller, I know that’s not what you’re most eager to ask.

Nevertheless, I can tell you that the Advent isn’t far off."

Schiller took a deep breath. In the past, no matter what happened, God had always been indifferent, but... in recent days, as the time of the Advent drew near, he, as a Great Angel, had gradually begun to feel different emotions emanating from God.

Those emotions were elusive, making it hard for Schiller to define them precisely.

Thus, under Chen Yi’s gentle gaze, Schiller asked softly,

"God, your kingdom is about to descend, are you joyous for this?"

Schiller did not expect God to answer his question.

"Why wouldn’t I be?"

God simply retorted.

Schiller was somewhat surprised and then felt a ripple of joy for God’s response.

But within God’s emotions, it seemed there was more than just joy.

Before Schiller could ponder any further, God spoke.

"Schiller, you and the Great Angels gather the angels and proclaim to them my will."

Chen Yi said softly.

His words were gentle yet undeniable.

Schiller nodded emphatically and said in a low voice,

"After this, I will go and declare to the angels.

But... in my heart, I still have doubts.

You are my God, and before you, there is nothing I hide, God, can you hear my confession?"

Schiller, like a devout believer in prayer, conveyed this in a reverent tone.

This demeanor was rare to see.

Ordinary angels always held some restraint in the presence of the supremely exalted Lord, and no matter how close they felt in their hearts, they always showed the utmost respect to God.

But the Great Angels were different...

They were the earliest creations in Heaven, and after creating His Divine Kingdom, God then created eight Great Angels in the fire, each guarding a domain of Heaven for God.

It could be said that apart from them, there were none closer to God in this world.

The Great Angels loved God, and they never held any fear.

That’s why Schiller’s tone was so unfamiliar.

Chen Yi gazed intently at the Great Angel.

"Speak."

Schiller took a deep breath, unsure if God had peered directly into his heart.

"God, I... I confess..."

"I, I am envious, envious of Solamus!"

The Great Angel’s voice trembled, his entire being shook.

Envy...

Schiller was lost in bewilderment and pain over his own envy... he, who was clearly an extension of God, could actually feel envy!

Even an angel could feel envy...

What a terrible thing this was!

Schiller had tried numerous times to cast aside his jealousy, but he could never deny his own emotions.

He distinctly felt his envy towards Solamus.

Envious of the Trialist Noen, envious of Solamus as the Angel Leader, envious of Solamus’ closeness to God...

Schiller, the Divine Angel, why do you envy?!

Day and night, Schiller questioned himself thus...

Under the heavy weight of guilt, the Great Angel could no longer bear it, he came before God’s throne and prayed quietly.

"Schiller, my Schiller."

Chen Yi lowered his head to look at Schiller, then slowly rose from the throne.

Schiller’s breathing became rapid, a trace of timidity showing on his holy countenance.

He did not know how God would treat him.

Would he be destroyed?

Angels are extensions of God, His hands and feet, and also His tools...

If a hand or foot becomes diseased, diseased to the point of needing amputation, then let it be cut off. If a tool breaks, breaks to the point it hinders work, then let it be discarded.

Schiller feared his own thoughts, and at the same time... faintly hoped.

Indeed...

It was time for destruction.

God created him, and in the same way, would let him be destroyed...

Schiller anticipated his own destruction, believing that it would purify Heaven of its filth for God.

"Schiller, my Schiller..."

Chen Yi repeated softly,

"Why do you wish to destroy yourself?"

Schiller was startled.

God saw into his heart.

Two tears traced down that holy and beautiful face.

God reached out a hand, gently caressing his face.

"I know you are jealous; in this Heaven, you are the only Great Angel who experiences jealousy."

Hearing the words of God, Schiller grew anxious.

"Oh God, I first envied... and then, then I grew jealous of Solamus."

Schiller wept as he confessed.

Chen Yi simply let Schiller cry, time and again wiping away the Angel’s tears.

The Great Angel cried for a long, long time, his frail body curling up, looking extremely pitiful.

"Oh God, I have sinned."

Schiller said with a trembling voice.

Chen Yi smiled, touching his face.

"Schiller, you are my Angel; do you not know where the boundary of sin lies?"

Schiller was taken aback once more, incredulously looking at God.

God gently wrapped the Great Angel in brilliance.

"The boundary of sin..."

Schiller murmured.

Suddenly, something came to him.

"The Law!"

God’s Law...

God defines sin with His Law...

"Without action... there is no sin..."

Schiller said with a quivering voice.

He hadn’t done anything to betray God.

His jealousy had not transgressed God’s Law.

At this moment, Schiller realized.

"Oh God... I know the source of jealousy is possession... but You are the only one, You possess us, not we possess You..."

Schiller spoke to God somewhat incoherently, without any guard, his heart purer than any Angel at this moment.

Chen Yi listened to all his words.

Finally, God spoke softly to the Angel,

"Schiller, do not forsake me, nor forsake my Law.

Otherwise, when that time comes,

Schiller, I shall mourn for you."

The Great Angel listened, and suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes once again.

There was emotion and there was relief...

God would mourn for me...

Could it be that God...

could also mourn?
