Chapter 457: Chapter 399: The True Cause of Repentance is not Miracles (Trinity)_3

"You are so high above, so unreachable!"

"Lord,

you are justice, you are truth, you are God!

Before the grand Heaven, even the Gods are just insignificant ants, never having a place!"

The voice was like roaring waves, earth-shattering.

The co-ruling Emperor stood with both feet, the Six Gods bowing to her, as if at that moment she not only represented herself but also symbolized all those divine beings longing to return to the old order.

The Six Gods looked at her with yearning eyes, as if saying:

Ascend to your throne,

lead us henceforth,

until the age of the Gods returns!

She was their Envoy, their King.

Anos had once been at a loss, once bewildered by her own will.

The co-ruling Emperor looked at the Six Gods with their heads bowed.

Her voice calmed down, as if that Golden Heart had returned to her chest.

"Lord, perhaps your scriptures have already lost their power, and the Gods will eventually return to their rightful place,"

just like... there is nothing in the world that does not decay.

Perhaps one day, the Gods will antagonize the entire Heaven, defying the grand Law!"

Anos’s voice began to tremble softly, staring at the reflection in the lake, like an actor in an opera, shackled and caged.

She no longer paced, but stood still, motionless.

"Lord, perhaps your glory is slowly fading, the Golden Hall will reappear someday, and the Country of Divines will thrive as in the past."

Anos stood silently,

sorrow and pain surged like a tide, but at this moment, everything was to be concluded.

The lake was so calm as if patiently listening to her proclamation, as if someone, through the lake water, was watching her.

just like... as day turns to night, and daylight passes, the night will come,

Perhaps one day, Heaven will collapse, and even the most devout faith will turn to ashes of history..."

Anos’s voice trembled, she was ready to accept that fate, because it was her parents’ expectation, it was the Prophecy destined for her.

That was her will.

"But..."

"I confess!"

"I... confess today!"

Suddenly, Anos’s body trembled intensely, the confession echoing throughout the underground space, like a bird smashing its cage, an actor breaking free from shackles.

What exactly was contained in that confession?

Words fell like thunder.

The Six Gods looked at her incredulously, each soul stunned at that moment.

The distant Pastor and believers, shocked, bewildered, resolute, panicked, showed various expressions, all shivering, all trembling.

"Lord, I confess!"

Anos’s body shook as she slowly knelt down, looking at the calm lake surface, as if speaking to someone.

Confession is facing the side of oneself that is hardest to accept.

This is a Heavenly Road, long and arduous, filled with sorrow and pain, the soul’s ordeals far more daunting than the entire world, and self-doubt more misleading than any external bewitchment, but only by stepping on it can one awaken to the truth in their heart.

"Tell me, Lord, are you punishing me?"

"Even though I pray with all my might, Mira has died for me.

Are you placing the mistakes of the past upon my shoulders?"

Anos knelt on the ground, for the first time sincerely clasping her hands together, wholeheartedly confessing,

"Perhaps one day, darkness will once again dominate the earth, every person will perish, everything will lose its name, as if it never existed..."

"But I repent!"

I repented,

Only repentance.

Apart from repentance, I could find no ship to the Heavenly Road; I could find no... cure for ascending the Heavenly Road.

The Six Gods glared at her, their heads no longer bowed; instead, immense fiery anger replaced their posture.

They seemed as though they would grind this betraying mortal into dust at any moment.

In the distance, the Pastor and believers were already pale, having repented repeatedly.

Those various gazes gathered on Anos seemed to question,

"Knowing fully well the collapse of Heaven and the decay of the Law, why do you repent?!"

"Could it be that the fire of faith from your youth was rekindled from the ashes?!"

"Your intentions are so clear, you are about to ascend to your throne, wielding the dual authority of the Human Empire and the Gods, with everything having progressed to this point, why still betray?!"

Anos gazed at those Six Gods suspended mid-air, her gaze seemingly piercing through souls.

She knew what they were questioning...

But still, she wanted to repent.

"Our Father, what have you revealed to you?!"

The Head of the Six Gods clenched the reshaped Golden Heart, questioning word by word.

Anos, the mortal about to gain all she desired, now betrayed.

Apart from the Father’s revelation, the Head of the Six Gods could find no other possibility.

"What exactly did you see from that Envoy?!"

"A miracle?

What kind of miracle... a storm? A tsunami? Fate? Or a resurrection like three thousand years ago?"

As the word of the Head of the Six Gods fell, the divines were ready, awaiting an answer that could shake heaven and earth, wondering what sort of miracle could make such an emperor repent.

However, the Six Gods heard an unimaginable reply.

"Nothing."

"Storms, tsunamis, fate... even if He resurrected me a thousand times, none of it would suffice for my repentance."

Anos spoke slowly, her voice faint, yet it seemed to echo deafeningly throughout the Celestial Kingdom.

What could make a person destined to fall repent?

In the past, Anos mocked Mira, disregarding every genuine word from the Envoy, no longer taking those voices to heart.

The Co-ruling Emperor heard Mira speak of the Heavenly Road, but she found no reason to tread it.

But now,

It seemed she finally understood why she needed to repent...

Tears slowly brimmed in Anos’s eyes.

She had never wept like this before, the tears were so hot, scorching, as though... they shouldn’t belong to her.

No miracle could prompt her to repent.

Because...

What truly causes repentance is not miracles, but love.

I had thousands of reasons to betray her, yet she did not want me to just leave.

"I repent..."

She said again,

Because...

Miracles do not come every time, but love is always constant.
