Chapter 465: Chapter 405 My Satan (Extra 2 in 1)_2

"I know."

Heidewich smiled faintly, and slowly said,

"The Gods are so easily blinded by what is before them that they mistakenly believe they can contend with you, yet I understand that we are nothing but puppets without springs, and without you, we would vanish into nothingness."

God did not shake His head, nor did He nod, but merely looked quietly at Heidewich.

Heidewich, enduring that gaze, knew far more than anyone else combined.

It was as if... He was the person closest to a writer, situated within the book, yet having read through the entire world, even though... He could not know all the details.

Wise men and theologians often asked, did time exist before God arrived?

This indeed was an unsolved mystery; people held different views and argued endlessly, denouncing each other’s heretical acts, unable to reach an answer for thousands of years.

In their eyes, the answer to this question was unknown.

But for Heidewich, the answer to this question was certain; before God arrived, time did not exist.

To Heidewich, everyone was merely a puppet without a spring, and Chen Yi was the only being who could manipulate the spring; time did not halt for anyone, yet it halted for Him.

God brought time, and if He remained still, the world stood still, with no future. If He moved, the world would turn, and the future would continue to unfold.

A wise man once said, close your eyes, and there are no cliffs in the world—an extreme jest, but in His case, it was the only truth.

Heidewich could not precisely describe His brother now.

"To see you one more time... I have sacrificed much."

Heidewich said softly.

"I know... Heidewich."

Chen Yi’s voice was gentle.

To Himself, Heidewich held significant importance.

That is...

"Heidewich, my... Satan."

The words fell into the vast Cloud Sea.

"Yes, I am your Satan..."

Heidewich murmured lowly.

Satan.

This simple word had never before appeared in this world.

Chen Yi knew Satan tempted people to sin, seen as an embodiment of impulse, standing in opposition to God and Heaven, the source of suffering and temptation.

In the distant future, walking the Earth in human form, Heidewich was to exist as the Satan who would Bewitch Him.

"Heidewich, I can change all this."

Chen Yi said softly,

"It’s quite easy."

Heidewich summoned a slight smile,

"No, I don’t want you to change all this.

It is my desire, the choice I made.

Everything should happen this way."

Everything should happen this way...

Chen Yi pondered this profound statement.

He could clearly see what the future would bring.

In that future, in a place called Resurrection Town, He would appear as a mortal, unknown of His parents’ origins, with no one to rely on, loneliness being the most common nourishment, and His only companion being an elusive phantom—Heidewich, beneath whose innocent facade lay the nature of Satan.

Ever since He made His decision, fate unfolded this way, and of course, He could easily change it all—simply, unexpectedly erase the identity of Heidewich as Satan, strip off His divine suffering and honored sacrifices. He could do this, it was not difficult, it was just a matter of a thought.

But He would not do so.

Because that was Heidewich’s wish.

Heidewich slowly said,

"I know you won’t, my... brother."

"You do not even deign to look directly into an angel’s soul, let alone arbitrarily change someone’s will?

Does it matter whether hands and feet have their souls?"

Chen Yi sighed slowly.

Then, He said softly,

"Heidewich, let me tell you then...

Under the long span of time, which you seek will never occur."

"Regardless of how you deceive, mislead me as a human, no matter how your words are half-true, half-false, the lies so perfect, I will always guess the entwined truth hidden behind your ridiculous tricks."

Heidewich softly countered,

"What difference does that make then?

"At least I once had the chance to be considered as a ’Lord,’ didn’t I? To have had... the opportunity to be seen as a ’lord.’"

After her words fell, Heidewich lowered her gaze, her myriad thoughts hidden beneath the pitch-black robe, leaving no one to know what she was thinking.

Chen Yi looked at Heidewich, feeling emotions from the future seeping into his own heart.

In the deepest depths of the Cloud Sea, silence suddenly fell between them; everywhere was soundless, while the clouds gently surged.

"I know you are aware of all this, so this time I’ve come to ask you what the end that awaits me really is?"

After a long time, Heidewich exhaled deeply, being the first to break the silence,

"I know the general direction... but what exactly will happen?"

Chen Yi thought of something and counter-questioned:

"Do you wish to learn something from me and then go back to the future and sell it to me?"

After saying this, Chen Yi shook his head, finding it both laughable and frustrating.

In that future, his human incarnation knew very little; what’s common knowledge today had become ancient secrets by then.

Heidewich didn’t deny it, smiling sweetly instead.

Chen Yi also smiled and reached out to stroke her hair.

"What exactly is my end, and what exactly is Satan’s end?"

Heidewich asked again, her voice seemed to quiver but also seemed not to,

"Tell me, is it to be thrown into Fire Lake, to burn, enduring annihilation that no life could withstand?"

God gazed at Heidewich and spoke softly:

"No, it is a Heavenly Road.

It is a redemption that cannot be lost."

Heidewich was slightly startled.

"Have you forgotten the days you prayed to me?"

After a pause, Heidewich said in a low voice:

"At that time, I was too ignorant, understanding nothing. I should have realized that behind what you call disbelief is..."

Heidewich’s robe fluttered in the breeze, as if expressing the complex thoughts of its owner.

Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Yi said,

"I will not forget the days you prayed to me."

The more fallen,

the more in need of redemption,

abandoning what comes before, saving what comes after.

Mira woke up.

She didn’t know how she had woken up, just as she didn’t know how she had fallen asleep.

Before the girl fell asleep, she had heard God’s voice, then she closed her eyes, covered her ears, and consciousness left her; now, it had returned to her body in an instant, a strange sensation.

Raising her head, she saw God on the throne.

"God..."

Saying this, Mira swiftly got up from the ground, scratched her head, and asked with a puzzled face,

"What exactly... happened? Who was that person?"

Chen Yi smiled as he watched Mira and shook his head,

"Mira, I cannot tell you."

Mira asked quietly:

"Is it something I shouldn’t know? God, I feel that person was terrifying... I’ve never seen someone like that before...

He, he seemed to be called, called, called..."

The girl repeated "called" several times but couldn’t find the name in her mind.

After a while, she murmured:

"What was it..."

Seeing this, Chen Yi informed her,

"Mira, I have erased your memory; her name is something you should not know."

Mira was somewhat puzzled but nodded anyway, accepting that if God said she shouldn’t know, then she just shouldn’t.

Suddenly, the girl thought of something, her lips slightly parted, wanting to ask but feeling hesitant.

Chen Yi waited quietly, guessing what Mira might want to say.

After a long time, Mira cautiously asked:

"God... how are things going with Anos?"
