Chapter 804: Chapter 804: Kingdom of God on Earth (Large Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"You seek something using a Truth Monster created by the Secret Watchers, and it’s related to the Eternal Divine Nation?"

He Ao grasped his coffee cup, staring at the elderly man before him.

He had already understood something at this moment.

"I believe you’ve heard about the esoteric teachings’ description of the ’Eternal Divine Nation’—they consider it a post-death world where followers of the Eternal Radiance will go, a world without hunger, without pain, created by the Eternal Radiance as a perfect post-death realm,"

the elderly man slowly smiled and said, "They preach that by believing in the Eternal Radiance, one can enter the Eternal Divine Nation after death, which is one of the reasons their ability to spread the faith is so strong."

His tone was calm, devoid of the anger when discussing ’heretical teachings’ that He Ao had encountered in other members of the Ancient Teachings.

"It sounds like,"

He Ao slowly said, "the Ancient Teachings have a different interpretation of this ’Eternal Divine Nation’?"

"A sharp question,"

the elderly man leaned back in his chair, pondering as he spoke,

"Before the emergence of the esoteric teachings, ’Eternal Divine Nation’ was not conceived as a post-death realm, but rather as a concept of a ’Finality Domain’.

"Since the Era of the Great Cataclysm, all followers of the Eternal Radiance believed that the existence of the entire world was irrational, that one day, the universe would reach a cataclysmic end,

"and then, the Eternal Radiance would restart the entire universe, establishing a new, orderly universe, which would also be the ’Eternal Kingdom’ belonging to the Eternal Radiance,

"All deceased followers of the Eternal Radiance would resurrect in this kingdom, becoming the first lifeforms in the new universe, gaining eternal years and power."

"It sounds like an appealing doctrine,"

He Ao took a sip of coffee, "but resurrection after the end far lacks the appeal of immediate ’revival’ in the Eternal Divine Nation after death."

"Yes,"

the elderly man smiled and looked at He Ao, "In a sense, the esoteric teachings’ doctrine of the ’Eternal Divine Nation’ is actually a variation and extension of the original ’Eternal Divine Nation’ doctrine, bringing it closer to ordinary people’s lives, making it easier for them to understand the doctrine, and more willing to accept the ’guidance’ of the Eternal Radiance."

"It sounds like,"

He Ao set down his coffee cup, equally staring at the elderly man, "you don’t dislike the esoteric teachings’ doctrine."

"The Divine Being had already made its decision,"

the elderly man said calmly, looking ahead, "and we, as its servants, can only follow in its steps."

He Ao observed the calm and gentle demeanor of the elderly man before him.

As a ’leader’ of the Ancient Teachings, this elderly man was well aware of what truly transpired.

The heretical ideas of the Esoteric Teachings had not incurred Divine Punishment but could still utilize the Grace of the Eternal Radiance, which, in a way, also indicated a certain attitude of the Eternal Radiance.

Whether the Eternal Radiance was indifferent to these ’believers’ interpretations of the Eternal Kingdom, or favored the esoteric version of the ’Eternal Divine Nation’, the outcome was clear:

Without forcible intervention by the Divine Being, those holding the new doctrine of esoteric teachings had far greater potential for development than the Ancient Teachings.

The Ancient Teachings being devoured and absorbed by the Esoteric Teachings was an inevitable event.

The elderly man before his eyes knew this well and had long seen it, so what he was disputing now was not really about the doctrines.

"What you seek is power in the future ’Eternal Sect’?"

He Ao looked at the old man’s unflappable demeanor, "You don’t care about the so-called struggle between Ancient Teachings and Esoteric Teachings; you just want to continue to be the leader of the newly formed sect?"

"Servant of the great Eternal Radiance."

The elderly man gently corrected.

God only needs loyal servants, who that servant is sometimes isn’t that important.

He Ao’s thoughts had completely converged; he released his hold on the coffee cup and said calmly to the elderly man,

"You want to use the Secret Watchers to pursue the ’Eternal Divine Nation’ purported by the esoteric teachings? But even the truth-seeking capability of the Secret Watchers can’t find an ’Eternal Divine Nation’ that exists only in doctrine,"

his voice paused slightly, "unless, the ’Kingdom of God’ truly exists and is near Wint City."

His mind flashed back to the way back to Wint City, where towards Wint City’s direction he ’saw’ a light hiding various ’scenic cuisines’; once he noticed the light, it seemed to ’hide’ itself.

That light seemed to carry a certain intense contamination of a Divine Being but lacked the oppressive terror of staring directly at the Divine Being.

It wasn’t an authentic extension of the Divine Being, but rather something high-ended created using the power of the Divine Being.

He raised his head to look at the elderly man, "So is the Esoteric Teachings leveraging some method, based on doctrine, to ’create’ an originally non-existent ’Eternal Divine Nation’?"

Then, the purpose of this Ancient Teachings ’leader’ became very clear, he wanted to find that ’man-made divine nation’ hidden by the Esoteric Teachings, then control that kingdom, and through it, control the entire Esoteric Teachings.

At this time, the elderly man, surprised by He Ao’s conjecture, looked at him and smiled, "Young man, you really are smart."

He reached out and placed a ceramic spoon lying on the plate onto the cup,

"Since you’ve guessed this far, you must also know what I intend to do. If you are willing to cooperate with me, help me locate the Esoteric Teachings’ ’Divine Nation,’ I can find a way to preserve your soul, letting you enjoy eternal life within the Divine Nation."

Normally, even the ’Secret Watchers’ couldn’t find the ’Eternal Divine Nation’ concealed deep in the world through the tangled chaotic patterns.

To achieve this, there is only one way: wholly accept the call of truth, becoming a twisted Truth Monster.

Therefore, the elderly man’s ’promise’ was about preserving He Ao’s soul in the Eternal Divine Nation, not a tangible ’reward’.

"It sounds like a tempting proposal,"

He Ao drank down the rest of the coffee, placing his cup on the table like the elderly man, "It looks like my father has a very high ’compatibility’ with the ’Secret Watchers’."

"Of course,"

the elderly man smiled and said, "Your father is one of the people I’ve met with the highest compatibility with the ’Secret Card’; if it’s him, he could become the most perceptive Truth Monster,"

his gaze swept across He Ao, a flash of orange brilliance flickering in his eyes,

"But I indeed hadn’t anticipated that you would be able to completely control the power of the Secret Watchers and retain your sanity; you must naturally possess an extremely powerful soul, perhaps even more special than your father’s physical constitution,"

he said, his tone slightly regretful, "but unfortunately, this sanity also affects your sensitivity to truth."

"My father’s unique constitution was discovered by Lockway?"

He Ao’s voice maintained a certain calm stability,

"He reported his findings to you, so you seized the opportunity when my father left Wint City to give him the ’Secret Card’?"

"Then, through Lockway, you learned that the Eternal Secret Teachings were trying to control the Security Union, and by using Lockway, you pushed Kate into the position of person-in-charge of this incident, hoping to force my father and the Secret Card to merge through the hands of the Eternal Secret Teachings?"

According to Yiluo’s experience, the likelihood was that some kind of ’inheritance’ within the Secret Card would be activated when one was critically injured, forcefully merging the Talent Sequences of the Secret Watcher within the Secret Card with the wearer.

Thus, this wooden card, in a certain sense, indeed could ’bless one with safety.’

At this point, He Ao took a deep breath,

"If my father had been driven to ruin by the Eternal Secret Teachings, and you and the Eternal Ancient Teachings then appeared as the ’saviors’, you would have been able to completely control him and willingly make him your ’Truth Monster’."

"However, what surprised you was that even at the end, my father did not become a Truth Monster as you had wished, and the Eternal Secret Teachings quickly took away my parents’ bodies."

"That’s why you arranged for someone else to search for my father’s body and tried to retrieve the ’Secret Card’, to proceed with the next step of your plan."

"Your father indeed was an ’interesting’ person,"

The Elderly looked at He Ao, his fingers resting on the table, a faint golden glow sweeping across his fingertips, he sighed lightly,

"Until I saw you, I have also been wondering why, with his affinity, he didn’t merge with the Secret Card,

"Now it seems, your father must have given you the Secret Card, ’saving’ your life.

"Honestly, with his affinity, to voluntarily give away the Secret Card, the pain he must have endured is probably like cutting off his own limbs.

"A mere ordinary person without any supernatural abilities doing something like that certainly exceeded my expectations.

"It was indeed a mistake for Lockway to attack you back then."

He chose to come here searching, also thinking that Novis might not have been able to take the Secret Card with him for some reason, but he did not expect that Novis would actually ’give’ the Secret Card to his dying son.

This unexpected move by Novis directly disrupted his entire arrangement.

"Indeed, Lockway has indeed done plenty of foolish things,"

He Ao looked at the Elderly with a still confident and ’gentle’ countenance, nodded calmly,

"His premature exposure of his spy identity, along with the spy under your command from the Eternal Secret Teachings leaking information,

"Made the Eternal Secret Teachings completely aware of your plans, they set traps taking advantage of this, greatly damaging your power, forcing you to step out from the shadows to the front.

"Despite all your meticulous planning, you lost miserably."

The Elderly sitting opposite realized something was off the moment he heard He Ao’s words, his expression slightly altered, and as He Ao continually spoke, his initially smiling face also stiffened.

Only after He Ao finished his last sentence, did he speak in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Young man, being too clever sometimes isn’t a good thing."

His gaze swept over He Ao’s face, realizing that He Ao’s earlier ’agreement’ to his suggestion was actually just a ploy to elicit more information from him.

He completely restrained his smile and continued, "It seems, you’re not willing to accept my ’suggestion’?"

A terrifying and oppressive atmosphere spread in the living room.

"Actually, I do think your suggestion is good, an ideal life of immortality in the Eternal Divine Nation sounds very appealing."

He Ao watched the Elderly’s face calm down with his words, and continued, "You just need to be a completely undignified dog."

He shrugged, "But sorry, I’m not interested in being a dog."

In the Elderly’s brief moment of astonishment, He Ao, looking at the Elderly’s noble face, spoke calmly and deliberately,

"’Leader’ Mister, you seem to be accustomed to being high above, treating other people’s lives as chess pieces on the board, arbitrarily deciding the lives of those ordinary people without any supernatural abilities,"

He reached for the Knight’s Sword beside him, "We are humble, but we are not lowly, you can try to decide our lives wantonly, but you should also prepare to lose your own life."

"Are you going to kill me, to avenge your parents and brother?"

Upon hearing He Ao’s words, the Elderly’s face actually revealed a slight smile, he stood up, looking down at He Ao, the surrounding air oppressively heavy like a flood, "What makes you think you can? Is it because of some kind of supernatural ability mark you placed on me when I walked in?"

"Firstly, I’m not just facing you,"

He Ao sat up straight, resisting the overwhelming feeling, an unseen breeze brushing through his clothes, "My relatives died in the so-called ’game’ between you and the Eternal Secret Teachings, you’re my enemy, but not quite my complete enemy, killing you won’t end everything."

The Elderly’s smiling expression stiffened.

"Secondly,"

He Ao grasped the Knight’s Sword, stood up composedly, "I never said I would kill you, but today I stand here, and only one of us should see tomorrow’s sun.

"Lastly,"

He raised his head, looking at the Elderly in front of him, "You seem very curious about what ability I placed on you just now? So you deliberately provoked me?"

His lips curved up, seemingly about to reveal the details of the ability.

The Elderly’s gaze gathered on him.

The entire space went silent in that moment, so quiet that it seemed as if one could hear both of their heartbeats.

Then, He Ao’s calm voice echoed in the silent living room,

"Guess!"

"Young man, you’re quite something,"

The Elderly’s face stiffened, a radiant golden glow formed behind him, coalescing into a golden spear, "I will personally activate the Truth contamination in you, turning you into a complete, mindless Truth Monster."

"Oh,"

He Ao jumped back, holding the Knight’s Sword, leaped straight out of the open window behind him, the blood-red butterfly on his shoulder spreading its wings, a light cold breeze swept across his face, "You must have been just as confident when you set up your plans against the Eternal Secret Teachings."

The Elderly’s face completely darkened, and the golden glow behind him shattered instantly; he too followed and rushed out of the window.

A dazzling glow lit up the night sky.
