only god

Chapter 62: Tertullian
On the top of the mountain, the branches of the trees shone with a faint light.

The leaves move with the cold wind that blows over the mountain, and seem to fall off at any time, but no matter how the cold wind beats, they are always firmly tied to it.

It seems that without the permission of the gods, the branches of this tree will never shed a single leaf.

Chen Yi is still in the long decline.

Decline is not death.

Death is absolute annihilation, eternal departure, as if never existed.

The Spirit of God falls on every life, thus forming the souls of thousands of creatures, which means that God will never perish.

Decay, on the other hand, is a kind of relative stillness, a kind of unconsciousness. This kind of state is like when a person closes his eyes at the end of his life, but he has not died yet.

Therefore, although Chen Yi is in decline, it does not mean that he is not aware of the changes in the outside world.

Although this kind of awareness is so weak that it can be ignored, to ensure that God will not be disturbed by any movement.

One day hundreds of years ago, a lost soul climbed to the top of the mountain.

The god was unconsciously aware of the turbulent fate of Tertullian and the Logosians who followed him in the future.

In secret, He allowed the prophet's second son to take a leaf.

Is this a kind of insignificant favor, or is it an election that no one knows about?
All in all,
Even Tertullian himself would not understand.

perhaps…

Only God knows.

.......................................

Tertullian was among the slaves who built the Colossus.

The whip pierced through the air and hit his back, his skin was torn open and blood splashed out.

Tertullian gritted his teeth, without saying a word, struggling to drag the huge stone, climbing the slope, and stepping into the ground step by step.

The busy slaves waited for the boulder, turned it up with four pairs of arms, and pushed it onto the giant statue together.

Tertullian did not get a moment's rest, and the overseer urged behind him:
"Big one, get off and move another boulder!"

Tertullian lowered his head silently, with sweat all over his face, he jumped off the slope at once, fixed the rope on the boulder, and dragged it up the slope with all his might.

He worked here as a slave for three full years.

In other words, this descendant of Ar was separated from his original priestly life for three full years.

No one knows where he went except Antinon.

Fortunately, Logos people have a long lifespan, and being missing for three or four years is not something to be overly concerned about.

What's more, before Tertullian became a slave, he left the kingdom from time to time and went hunting in the outside world, so as to maintain the hunter's skills, as long as two years, as short as a few months.

Today's Tertullian is abstinent, tenacious, and reticent. Whenever he takes a short rest at night, he always sits on his knees and prays with his hands folded, using physical pain to hone his spiritual piety.

The sun was gradually setting, today's work was coming to an end, and it was finally time for the slaves to rest.

The overseers urged the slaves to get porridge and rough scones, but the verbal urging often failed to achieve the desired effect. Even though the slaves were already hungry, they were already staggering from exhaustion.

Tertullian took his porridge and scones and sat down.

Before long, a group of emaciated slaves began to gather around Tertullian.

As the second son of the Prophet, Delto has cultivated a generous character.

He doesn't care about material enjoyment, and often generously distributes his food to other slaves.

Many of the slaves were hunters from the past era. They couldn't bear the pain of civilization development and were overwhelmed by the torrent of history. They were reduced to become slaves here. Seeing that Tertullian was infinitely powerful and tall, they were willing to follow him. Tertullian soon became the arbiter in the disputes of the slaves.

And once night falls, Tertullian will pray devoutly.

Although Tertullian was reticent, he was familiar with the stories about gods in the history books. When he prayed, he often recited the contents of the history books. The slaves who did not know the history books prayed with him.

Slaves often wept for his prayers.

Because Tertullian's tone is so pious and moving, how beautiful the era he described was.

"The end is coming. At that time, God saves everyone."

During prayers, Tertullian would often read the last passages of the history books, and the slaves, hearing this account many times, wept bitterly as they recalled their day-to-day sufferings.

After the prayers were over, the slaves still surrounded Tertullian, knowing that the man in front of him was well-read and memorized, and would tell them secrets that were not recorded in history books.

Tertullian said to them: God is gone.

At first none of the slaves looked at Tertullian in disbelief.

God is gone?

No one dared to believe Tertullian's words.

However, as Tertullian's influence deepened day by day, as Tertullian's day and night prayers penetrated into the hearts of the people, these Logos slaves looked back on their day and night sufferings, and their firm hearts began to shake.

Is God really gone?
It is because God is gone that we begin to enslave each other, to tame others like cattle.

The more Tertullian told the stories recorded in the history books, the more the slaves believed that the god was gone.

The slave realized that the happiness and beauty in the story are now far away from us.

Those happiness and goodness cannot disappear in thin air, there must be a reason for its disappearance.

And the reason that Tertullian told is that God has left.

It is precisely because of God's departure that the Logos began to enslave each other, and there are so many evils on this earth.

We cannot stand still in sin, we must go back to that era, to the era when God was still alive.

God is the spiritual foundation of the Logosians.

tonight,

Tertullian sat in the center of the slaves, and he looked around at the crowd.

Unknowingly, there are as many as hundreds of people surrounding this place.

With his current influence, it is not a problem to call thousands of people overnight.

Perhaps, Tertullian realized, the time had come.

He came among the slaves and lost contact with many, including his own brother Alesto.

Tertullian, however, remained in touch with Antinon.

They knew that only two people could not go to sea and find the place of God.

However, if thousands of people go to sea together, then King Jalesto will definitely not be able to sit idly by. At that time, the deal is done, and he can coerce his brothers and send narwhals to escort them to the voyage.

Tertullian longed to return to that era.

Back to a time when the gods were alive, back to the time when the spears were thrown and the big beasts were hunted, and the Logosians didn't have to enslave each other.

For this, Tertullian got up from the ground.

The second son of the prophet looked around at every slave present. They were extremely thin and tired, but compared with those elders and wise men who enjoyed glory, they were the most devout people who believed in God.

All eyes were turned to Tertullian, awaiting his words.

Just listen to him say:

"God is gone, has been gone for hundreds of years, the Logos is not a born slave, the Logos is the son of God,

God is gone, and we are left like wheat that falls to the ground.

We can’t just die like this, God has gone, we have to leave here, we have to get God back, we have to get back that era. "
