Only God
Chapter 467 - 407: My God, Where Exactly Do You Stand?

Chapter 467: Chapter 407: My God, Where Exactly Do You Stand?

Beneath the vast expanse of time, many things that were once considered important become unworthy of mention.

And yet, some details once overlooked have become as precious as gold through the grinding passage of time.

God gazed upon the Holy Realm before Him.

It lay above the Sea of Clouds, constantly recited by innumerable mortals day and night, whose choirs in churches praised it endlessly. With prayers and faith paving the way, the beauty of this place was their pursuit and hope, even the source of their happiness.

Chen Yi had listened to countless prayers; They knew how those people praised, and how they longed.

This place was so beautiful.

It originated from a small dream amidst confusion, and then came into being with the sound of Solamus’s horn. Its radiance stood tall in the high heavens since, for a full three thousand years.

If counted from the day it was born from the dream, then it had been well over ten thousand years.

Chen Yi bowed their head, pondering slightly...

How long had They been here?

"It’s been so long... even Al has become a legendary figure,"

Chen Yi murmured softly.

Al now enjoyed his family life within Heaven, along with his wife and two children. Chen Yi could see him anytime, yet for mortals, the Prophet’s story was a distant legend unattainable. This stark contrast made everything feel slightly surreal.

They had seemingly stayed in their own dream for far too long.

Chen Yi was not disheartened but felt a slight sense of melancholy.

From a distant direction, a dark shadow swept across the sky and slowly approached the throne.

God knew who it was. After nearing the throne, the figure slowed down, fluttering its wings as it descended from mid-air, and then knelt on one knee on the ground, kissing the back of God’s hand.

"Maisy,"

Chen Yi said softly.

The latter lifted their face, respectfully greeting God, and then spoke slowly:

"God, have you heard?

The plight of those six stars has caused great disturbances among the realms of the Celestial Kingdom."

Chen Yi glanced into the distance, roughly understanding what had happened.

"So what of it,"

God said indifferently.

Maisy’s expression showed some worry as they spoke softly:

"God... not everyone within those stars is dissatisfied with Your Law, like the god of the mountains and crafts, Hiris, the Death God Nakbet... However, this incident has set the celestial bodies abuzz...

God, I’m not worried that they will shake Your Kingdom and Law; I’m concerned about... the Angels, today’s Angels harbor far too many prejudices, especially... Schiller."

Maisy expressed their inner worries without reservation.

Chen Yi considered for a moment and then gently rubbed Maisy’s head, speaking slowly:

"Maisy, you needn’t worry, they have their own fates to follow."

Upon hearing this, Maisy looked puzzled and a bit curious, inevitably asking:

"God... what have You seen?"

After hearing this, Chen Yi let out a slight sigh.

After such a long time, Their vision was no longer confined to the cold and rigid past or the present as the current moment; even the future was no longer unknown.

But whatever They had seen, Maisy was not yet supposed to know.

"It’s nothing, Maisy,"

Chen Yi said softly.

Maisy scratched their head, wanting to ask something, but after thinking it over, they decided not to.

As one of the Great Angels created directly from the Divine spirit, in other words, one of the beings closest to God in this world, Maisy had a vague sense that... God... seemed even more magnificent than when within the dream realm.

Suddenly, Chen Yi asked:

"Maisy, do you still watch over the Mortal World?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Angel shivered instantly, as past fears swept over them once again, like the aching of old wounds struck by sharp stones still throbbing deep within.

Maisy shook their head forcefully, saying:

"God, you know me, I no longer wish to go to that place.

Though I say this, I still often watch over these mortals and have heard countless stories from countless souls.

To me, it’s no different from Hell... both are places of suffering."

Chen Yi thought for a moment, then smiled helplessly,

"Maisy, living in Heaven, do you see everywhere as Hell?"

Maisy felt the comment was too absolute, hesitation flickering across his handsome face.

He wanted to say something contrary to his feelings, but God’s words had truly struck home, and eventually, the youngest Great Angel reluctantly nodded.

Chen Yi stroked his head, looking tenderly at the wounded Angel,

"It seems it was indeed a barbaric era if even you were hurt."

Maisy couldn’t help but speak out,

"It is the same now, the world has never changed.

Just as the sun sets today, tomorrow it will rise as usual."

The Great Angel’s words fell upon God’s ears, prompting a period of deep reflection.

Maisy continued,

"It’s always the same, God, whenever, wherever... the ugly remains ugly, the beautiful stays beautiful. Despite this, perhaps the world has become worse than before.

The desires of the human heart are greater than all other desires, the terror within it more hopeless than the darkness of the world. Although there are good and righteous people, they will eventually disappear, and great nations once built under beautiful covenants will ultimately be destroyed by betrayal and civil strife—a mere cycle."

Chen Yi looked at Maisy, pondering.

The Great Angel freely expressed his views, holding a deep bias towards the Mortal World because of his many experiences.

It was a marvel that the purest Angel in Heaven also held the deepest loathing for the Mortal World.

Maisy reveled in the good and righteous as much as he abhorred the entire world.

He was well aware of this.

He could say, the Angels were always transparent to him, depending on whether he chose to look or not.

A silence then spread over the Cloud Sea.

Just as Maisy worried that his words were perhaps too harsh, Chen Yi thought of something and began to speak slowly,

"Maisy, do you think... the world needs some change?"

The Great Angel was taken aback, unsure how to answer this question.

An entire world with billions of fates—such an immense topic that could occupy the countless souls of the Celestial Kingdom for thousands of years.

How could he dare to act rashly?

He only heard God say,

"Speak your mind, Maisy."

Maisy showed struggle, and after a moment, said,

"I... I do think so..."

After hearing this, Chen Yi said in a low voice,

"The world as it is now, perhaps is too monotonous... most places on the earth have never been touched by man, and this is far too desolate. As you said, perhaps... it’s time for some changes.

I think,

the world should enter a new era in the next millennium."

As the calm voice faded,

Maisy’s wings clung tightly to himself, goosebumps appearing unconsciously.

With tens of thousands of years as a boundary, personally delineating the eras of the entire world, in His presence, time seemed to lose its significance, becoming as fragile as soaked thin paper.

It was something to look forward to and also to feel the awe of the Divine.

It was enough... to make one’s whole body shiver.

Maisy couldn’t help but recall the question he had not asked...

My God, my God...

how high do You stand, after all?
