Chapter 33: The Deal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Lin Lei thought back to the Ancestral God in the temple, who, at critical moments, had given him so many things with a wave of his hand, he felt like laughing.

Actually, in his previous life, Lin Lei did not practice any sort of religion at all. In this world, he actually believed more in the saying that man could conquer nature.

Faith?

If he really wanted to believe in something, he would only believe in himself.

However, the Ancestral God was different. Although Lin Lei truly did not view the Ancestral God as his faith, the Ancestral God was different.

If the Ancestral God had not appeared and granted him so many conveniences, changing his faith would have been like changing the color of his clothes to Lin Lei. It would not have affected him at all.

However, the Ancestral God had indeed treated him well. Furthermore, in return, he had to stay and continue to help the Ancestral God.

In addition, right now, the only people who believed in the Ancestral God were probably just him and Tasha. A god without any believers… When he thought of this, a hint of gloominess flashed through Lin Lei’s eyes.

If he were to leave the Ancestral God at a time like this, the Ancestral God would probably be no different from an old man with an old nest.

An old man with an empty nest?

Why did he think of such a description?

Lin Lei’s expression once more began to turn strange.

In any case, it would be a little inappropriate for him to leave the Ancestral God now.

Thus, Lin Lei was more willing to rely on himself to gain his own freedom.

“Well, just treat me as a faithful believer.”

Lin Lei shrugged.

“Alright, that’s a real pity.”

Suleiman shook his head regretfully, then clapped his hands. The guard who had brought Lin Lei here just now walked into the tent.

“Send my guest back.”

“Yes.”

The guard accepted the order and walked in front of Lin Lei.

“I hope we’ll have the chance to talk face-to-face in the future.” Suleiman stood up and smiled.

“It’s my honor.” Lin Lei rose to his feet and nodded.

Looking at the familiar prison, Lin Lei felt a bit disconsolate. It had to be said that although he barely spent any time outside, the outside world still felt much better than the prison.

Thinking of this, Lin Lei hung his head dejectedly, planning to return to his cell. As he passed Daisy’s cell, he casually glanced at it, and with that one glance, his face turned pale with shock.

“Daisy, what’s wrong?”

Daisy was sprawled on the ground. Her entire face was completely disfigured, and her body was rotting bit by bit.

This was caused by the dragon’s Undying Dragon Breath.

“I’m fine. Go back to your cell. Don’t be so long-winded, or else I won’t be polite to you.”

Daisy turned her head away and threatened him fiercely.

“Bull Butcher, go back to your cell.” At this moment, the prison guards noticed that Lin Lei had stopped in his tracks.

Clenching his fists, Lin Lei turned and walked back into his cell.

In the middle of the night, Lin Lei kept an eye on Daisy’s movements.

Even though Daisy had lowered her voice, he could still hear her painful moans.

He closed his eyes and felt a wave of torment in his heart.

Daisy usually had a sharp mouth, but she had never hurt him. Instead, she had helped him a lot.

Although he was the one who shamelessly begged Daisy for help every time, Daisy would only scold him a little before teaching him seriously in the end.

It could be said that Daisy was both a teacher and a friend to Lin Lei.

Now, his teacher and friend was suffering in pain that was worse than death right in front of him, and he could not do anything for her.

Lin Lei opened his eyes.

He could personally kill the dragon and avenge Daisy.

However, how could he personally kill a dragon that even Daisy was helpless against?

Lin Lei subconsciously thought of the Ancestral God. He frowned.

“Ancestral God, I would like to ask you to grant me the power to defeat the dragon.”

Lin Lei called out to the Ancestral God in his heart.

In the next second, Lin Lei closed his eyes and was pulled into the temple.

“You have too much power. You have reached your limit and can no longer awaken anything else.”

“I only need the power to defeat the dragon. I don’t need to awaken anything.”

“You’re too greedy.”

The Ancestral God’s voice rang out, sounding rather helpless.

“I can make a deal with you,” Lin Lei said without hesitating.

“What can you give me?”

The Ancestral God was somewhat interested.

“I can help you recompose the holy scriptures.”

“What can you come up with for me?”

Hearing Lin Lei’s words, the Ancestral God grew interested.

In the next second, a small table appeared in front of Lin Lei, and on the table were brush and paper.

Lin Lei picked up his brush. After pondering for a moment, he began to write down a line of words.

[In the beginning, there was no void, no chaos, and no meaning in the world.]

[The Ancestral God said that this world needed nothingness, so the world produced nothingness.]

[The Ancestral God said that this world needed meaning, so the world produced consciousness.]

[The definition, concept, spirit, existence, and nonexistence of this world were all created by the Ancestral God.]

[The Ancestral God is the origin of everything and the cause of everything. He is one, and also 10,000. He transcends everything. He is indescribable.]

“What you’ve written is quite interesting. Continue writing, I’ll watch.”

It was clear that the Ancestral God was interested.

He could smell the scent of blood from just these few sentences. If this was successful, then all the gods would not sit back and do nothing.

These words turned all the gods into something that could only exist because of the Ancestral God.

This denied their power from the root.

[The Ancestral God is the origin of everything and the ancestor of all intelligent creatures. He doesn’t need people’s faith or worship.]

[But he is the most kind. Intelligent creatures need faith, so he gives people faith. Intelligent beings need redemption, and he will grant it.]

[We can’t truly understand and describe God, and we can’t influence the Lord.]

[The ancestral God will accept people’s reverence and belief. He’ll also grant people salvation.]

[Whether you’re rich or poor, slave or slave owner, man or woman, disabled or healthy, an infant or a person walking toward the end of your life, the Ancestral God will grant you absolute equality.]

“Continue writing.”

[The world created by the Ancestral God is infinite. The Ancestral God is the creator, the maintainer, and the destroyer of the world. The world is constantly being created and destroyed in a cycle.]

[This is the basic rule of the world, but the Lord is also extremely kind. In this world that is constantly circulating, the Ancestral God opened up a paradise that will exist for eternity.]

[This place is the final destination of all believers. Here, the believers are finally saved. There is no life and death, only eternal equality and peace.]

[This world shall be known as the eternal celestial realm.]

“You’ve made it up quite well, and it’s even more convincing than the previous holy scripture.”

“Oh?” Hearing the Ancestral God’s words, Lin Lei put his brush to a halt. “Then, Ancestral God, are you satisfied with these scriptures?”

“Not bad, but I have to say, I really can’t beat your bragging skills.”
