Chapter 76 Abandoning Reason

After laughing, Antinon jumped into the sea.

It happened so suddenly that no one present reacted.

He climbed up the long pole, and the sea wind hit from behind him, his thin body curled up as if it was attached to the sail, and then he jumped and fell into the sea with a plop.

Tertullian looked back suddenly, and saw Antinone, who had jumped into the sea, swimming away from the ship. He laughed while swimming, and the tragic scene of cannibalism and cannibalism finally crushed all the rationality of this priest .

Tertullian's lips trembled, and he wanted to order to turn and pull Antinon up, but the sea wind was extremely violent at the moment, and the ship was pushed further and further away, and the distance between them was opened in a blink of an eye.

In the end, Antinon slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Tertullian watched this scene, with the salty sea breeze blowing on his face, he lowered his head and murmured helplessly:
"Lord, please save us from our affliction..."

Since the day Antinon jumped into the sea,

Tertullian's will was inevitably on the verge of collapse.

The people who once shared the same ideals were tortured to death by hunger shortly after setting sail. Reason magnified Antinon's fear and allowed his spirit to be destroyed to pieces.

Tertullian clearly saw this, and he tried to comfort him, but... in the face of this terrible and desperate situation, no matter how much a tiny person struggles, he is powerless to resist the coming of mental breakdown.

Tertullian stood in front of the granary that was getting less and less food every day. This sea area seemed to obey the orders of the gods. For more than ten days, they did not catch any fish, and they could only watch the granary continue to get thinner .

He looked at the docile cow for a long time, and he didn't know how long the gods would torture them.

The future is unknown, and this is the greatest despair.

Tertullian caressed the cow, and killing it meant disobedience to the gods, and then disaster would come and tear them all apart.

"We are the wheat of God..."

Tertullian lost his mind and said:
"The fangs of the world will grind us to pieces."

Tertullian had lost all countermeasures.

Although his will was still struggling to support him, his body... was about to lose the strength to struggle.

Tertullian stroked the cow and hugged the cow's head.

"what do I do…"

For the first time he felt so helpless and hopeless.

No one can give him an answer.

Finally, Tertullian left the granary in silence.

It was night again, the time for the Logos to pray.

On the deck, the Logos people gathered around Tertullian, knelt and sat on the slightly bumpy boat, clasped their hands together, and barely supported their will, so as not to faint from hunger.

Tertullian took out the slate of history books presented by Alesto when he parted, and he paid attention to every word on it.

"The Prophet Al said: 'All that has to be done is done, and all we have left is faith in God.'"

Tertullian and the others recited the chapters on the slate.

After this, he clasped his hands together and silently prayed to God for salvation.

But God has left...

Can He still save us?

Tertullian's thoughts were in disarray, and he could see that his own heart was shaking.

The slate recorded the coming of the end and the salvation of the people, but those cold words could not relieve their hunger and restore their gradually collapsing spirits.

Above this sea, they are like wheat at the mercy of others, wantonly ground by despair.

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

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

Antinon drifted on the sea for a day.

Ever since he got away from the galley, he had let go of his initial breath, and suddenly felt powerless all over his body.

Afterwards, Antinon stopped struggling. He spread his limbs and lay on the surface of the water, thinking that he would fall asleep like this, and then sink to the bottom of the sea to die.

It never occurred to me that instead of sinking, he floated in the sea, perhaps because he had been hungry for too long and his weight was too light.

So Antinon stretched his limbs, he put down his thinking, completely relied on the instinct of the creature, and began to swim forward in the sea. He knew clearly that he was crazy, and at the same time, he had never felt so free .

He threw away any reason for survival, and he didn't want to be tortured by reason anymore.

The former Antinon had sung countless times about the rationality bestowed by God, how much he was fascinated by reason, and how much he despises reason now.

In today's Antinon's view, the best state of a person is that of a baby, innocent and without desires. If a person wants to enjoy that kind of happiness, he must abandon reason and return to the life of a beast.

He voluntarily abandoned reason, and he hoped to return to the days without reason.

Antinon was like a beast, swimming like a dog on the sea. He was struggling with instinct, tasting the beauty of abandoning reason.

Beasts only need to eat, sleep, escape, and chase... Apart from this, they don't need any other thinking. How free and happy, people claim to be rational, but they have to endure more torture in this world.

Antinon swam, swam, and swam, and slowly, a small piece of land appeared on the sea level not far away.

He poked his head out and swayed from side to side like an ape. For some reason, a stream of water surged behind him, pushing him towards the land.

The water flow of unknown origin can't help but make people suspect that it is the mighty power of the gods.

However, Antinon didn't think so much, and people who abandon rationality would not think so much.

After swimming for an unknown amount of time, Antinon finally landed on the shore. He slowly got up from the water, stood on the land, and roared with joy, celebrating his rescue like a monkey.

At this time, a voice came from a distant place.

"Antinon, your suffering has come to an end. I, Cargaus, will choose you to be my prophet and do what I allow on earth."

The voice is magnificent and stalwart, containing unfathomable mystery and wisdom, attracting rational people to listen, think, and finally worship.

Today's Antinon, as God King Shan En said, is at a time of despair.

Why do the gods of the Celestial Kingdom give people despair with peace of mind?
It is because the gods never considered the Logosians to be the so-called sons of gods.

In the eyes of the gods headed by the god king, how can human beings be the children of gods?
There is a world of difference between man and god.Just as the tiger does not regard the fragile wheat as an offspring.

Only God can be the Son of God.

No matter what the Logos called themselves, the gods never considered them the sons of gods.

right now,

Antinon's original will and faith have been destroyed,

Cargaus wants to choose him and let him establish the faith of the prophetic god on earth.

Antinon shook his head in doubt, as if he didn't hear it, he wandered on the land, climbed a hillside, and looked at the forest not far away.

"Antinon, I, Cargaus, will choose you. You will be the first priest of the Temple of Prophecy, and you will enjoy the glory I bestow on you in future generations."

The voice came from again, resounding in Antinon's ears.

Antinon scratched his ears irritably, and bounced towards the forest not far away.

Kagaus watched all this in astonishment.

He didn't know what went wrong...

This is not in line with the prophecy he made before, has the thread of fate changed again?

I saw Antinon came to the forest, the trees were covered with berries, which were faintly visible under the starlight, very attractive.

Kargaus stared at the young priest closely.

Immediately afterwards, the unthinkable happened.

Antinon raised his hand, climbed up the tree, and picked a berry.

He gnawed the berries in his hand with big mouthfuls, and the juice flowed all over his body, and he let out a howl of excitement.

The howl was not like that of a human being, but more like the cheering of a hungry beast after a full meal.

One, two, ten, hundreds of thousands...Countless brown and black hairs grew from Antinon's body. He plucked one berry after another, tasting the sweetness of the berries, tasting The happiness of beasts.

It was full, curled up its hairy body, and then slept in the wide canopy.

Antinon abandoned reason,
He became a beast again, and became a primitive and happy ape-man.

Time is always passing by people's hands in a hurry, and any past will eventually become history.

History is occasionally remembered and occasionally forgotten.

For the Logos, there is a history that is very familiar.

But no one would have thought that this period of history spanned time and space and affected the current Kagaus...

Long, long ago, when a pale prehistoric rainstorm had just swept across the land, the apes who acquired language watched in horror as their fur fell off bit by bit.

The dazed and ignorant apes were terrified by this, and knelt down in front of the flames, begging God constantly.

He saw their confusion,
God said:

"Whoever wants to be a beast, the fur will grow on his body."

　A new chapter will be added at nine o'clock tonight, and then the climax will be written tomorrow, and the plot will be more complete the day after tomorrow.
