The young priest possessed the most devout faith and could hear the voice of God, but religion had long ceased to be the worship of God, becoming instead a means of oppression and self-interest. The priest walked throughout the city, witnessing conflicts between clerics and believers. Returning to the temple, he spoke to the deity he worshipped: "Lord, I see clerics wantonly collecting wealth from believers to adorn their own residences; I see bishops deceiving innocent maidens merely to satisfy their…

God told the Priest: "God is inherently without emotion or desire, without thought or intention; the so-called seven emotions and eight sufferings are merely additions imposed by mortals." At that time, the Priest had become familiar with the God who had descended by chance, and knew of this deity's benevolence. He irreverently asked, "Then why do mortals suffer and struggle because of divine oracles?" God said: "Because mortals possess desire, the so-called divine oracles are merely the desires of…

Floor's face was pale, whether from pain or fear, he couldn't tell. His lips trembled as he carefully mumbled, "I... I'll answer! Legend says the Holy Lord brought light and heat, dispelling poverty and fear, and sheltering us from the monsters in the dark... 'He brought us the prophecy of the Doomsday Judgment, when the Temple will collapse, and the dead will bury their dead..." The first half was similar to what Father Laki had said, but the second half contained…

Greed, bullying the weak, cruelty, indifference... Humanity's original sins are eternal. Not long after the race favored by the gods settled down in the Holy City, they divided themselves into classes based on wealth. The old, weak, sick, and disabled, who could not create value, were relegated to the East District. The priest constantly served the gods in the temple, yet he worried about the common people outside the temple. One day, he returned from the East District and reported the poverty and…

"I'll take the East District." "Count me in for the East District." "I choose the Graveyard." "..." The players cut the chatter and quickly agreed on the locations they would each explore. With no clues whatsoever, the different locations made no difference to them; no one knew which was dangerous or safe, it was simply a matter of luck in opening a blind box. William carefully suggested that they should first decide on the candidate for the Son of God, but everyone unanimously rejected…

Father Laki maintained a flawless smile, explaining the rules in a timely, theatrical tone: “The Great Holy Lord brings us light and life. We faithfully believe in Him and cannot allow wicked Heretics to defile His glory. “However, the Holy Lord has always been merciful and benevolent. Although He wishes for the Heretics to receive their due punishment, He does not wish for the innocent to be implicated. The authority of judgment will be delegated to you all. Every morning, I will organize a Verdict…

The God no longer spoke, and the fanatical priest wrote down the prophecy of the Day of Judgment on yellowed parchment: "When the end comes, God will judge the world and rebuild a new doctrine upon the ruins." The few recorded strokes were buried deep in the dust of history, and the unpassed down myths perished in the snowstorm of the dark night. Afterward, the God witnessed by only one person slumbered in the temple... Qi Si was the first to enter the Holy City dungeon. Or rather, it was…

God said, "I am going into slumber, and I do not know how long I will sleep. Perhaps for endless ages, perhaps I will wake tomorrow." The young priest bowed before the Idol, asking humbly and timidly, "Great Holy Lord, are you abandoning your believers?" "I never collected your faith, so there is no question of abandonment." God's gaze was devoid of emotion or desire, reflecting the shadow of no existing being. "I am merely tired and seek rest. When I awaken, a new doctrine shall be rebuilt…

At nine p.m. on May 3, in Qijia Village, Qi Si finished washing up and dressed neatly. He lay flat on the big bed upstairs, hands folded across his chest, dutifully playing a corpse about to be buried. Xu Yao drifted above the ceiling overhead, asking with interest, “Qi Si, are you entering the game? Why didn't you take me with you? We agreed you'd bring me along.” “The final instance opens the day after tomorrow. Till then, just enjoy your computer...” Qi…
