I Am God!

Fire-protecting city.

In the study room of the palace, the highest levels of the country were gathering to discuss matters.

The maids and waiters stood outside, and the ministers inside came forward one after another to summarize the past year.

"The taxes paid by each province last year, the taxes from each port city, plus the royal alchemy workshop, plus..."

The Kingdom's Finance Minister reported this year's tax situation to His Majesty the King for several hourglasses of time before stopping.

"King, last year's tax collection exceeded all previous times, exceeding that of all the gods' kings in the past."

This is of course true. When the King of Gods was in power, the entire Suinhor was a city-state union. How could it compare to Morabi's current situation?

King Morabi: "We will increase our efforts this year. We will not only introduce alchemists and tower keepers, but also train the kingdom's own alchemists and tower keepers."

“Similarly, we should also train the next generation of deed lawyers.”

"About the cultivation of Warcraft and the establishment of the Demon Knight Academy, we should also communicate more with the Harvest Temple."

Since King Morabi became the first mortal king of Suinhor, he witnessed the conclusion of the contract of the gods after a struggle with the Red Patriarch Munro.

He introduced alchemists and tower keepers, appointed deed lawyers and revised the code of law, thoroughly implemented the provincial system and improved the tax system.

After many struggles, he finally secured this position as a mortal.

It is estimated that only he himself can feel the risks and hardships involved.

You can feel it from the white hair that appears on King Morabi's head and the wrinkles that have appeared in recent years.

After listening to the reports of various ministers, King Morabi finally looked at the minister in charge of the royal family.

"How's the situation over there in Monroe?"

"Is there any movement?"

Monroe's influence in Suinhall was so strong that he once influenced and controlled the royal power, and Morabi could not help but pay attention to it from time to time.

The royal minister immediately spoke: "Recently, the Temple of Life, the Temple of Miracles, and the Temple of Knowledge are competing for faith with each other and are constantly building temples in various cities."

"At the same time, they are not the only ones under the Temple of Life. Recently, the Moonlight Temple, the Scourge of Destruction, and the Starlight Ascetic Order are also constantly expanding their power and influence. At the same time, they are looking for seeds that can become witches. Although Monroe was suppressing them, he did not dare to actually expel them.”

Having said this, the royal minister in charge smiled involuntarily.

If you want to defeat an enemy, sometimes you just need to create enough enemies for him.

"Now our Patriarch is in dire straits. He is no longer able to stop so many forces joining forces to enter Suinhall."

"However, recently it is said that Patriarch Monroe has changed his strategy. He is using his own power to send more divine attendants to various places, build more temples and shrines, and has even begun to send missionary ships overseas."

The Scarlet Goddess has the most followers. The wealth and power the temple possesses can only be compared to the lineage of the God of Desire and Alchemy in the Land of the Rising Sun. Now that they are fully activated, no one can match their number of people and money. of.

King Morabi nodded with satisfaction: "Monroe seems to have finally understood what his strongest point is and what he should do."

"He also sent missionary ships overseas?"

"Are those Evelites from the New World willing to share their nautical charts and their navigation skills?"

The royal minister said: "He spent a lot of money and granted several of the Elvirs the inheritance of magical seeds, promising that they would enter the kingdom of God after their death."

"The Scarlet Temple has been taking a lot of action recently, and is constantly creating powerful persons by granting magical seeds."

"rumor……"

King Morabi asked: "What are the rumors?"

The royal minister said: "There are rumors that a new extraordinary profession may be born."

"And those who have obtained the seeds of divine magic now may be the reserve army of new extraordinary professions in the future."

King Morabi nodded, but did not pay too much attention.

As long as Monroe no longer focuses on him, but on preaching and faith.

Sometimes people are driven by inertia and past forces.

Since ancient times, these words have been able to lock a person's consciousness and make it impossible to escape.

Monroe had always thought about inheriting the glory of the King of Gods, but now when his horizons opened, he suddenly realized that he was compared with the King of Gods and Suinhor.

There is a wider world out there with more infinite possibilities.

King Morabi took one last look at everyone: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"If not, that would be the end of the day."

The royal minister stood up again and talked about something.

"Recently, the Governor of Moonlight Province, Anu, created a magical item called the Ancestral Totem Pole!"

This was the first time King Morabi heard about this matter and this name.

"Ancestral Totem Pole?"

"What's the meaning?"

The royal steward told King Morabi: "I heard that Governor Anu used this totem pole to prove that he could turn lizard people into snake people at the god ceremony, which shocked everyone present at the time."

"He said in front of all the citizens of Moonlight City that snake-men are all descended from lizards, saying that snake-men, lizard-men, winged men and all beasts in the world have the same ancestor."

"We are said to be one body, and we are all called human beings."

"The name of the ancestor totem pole comes from the ancestor he mentioned."

King Morabi laughed and nodded.

"There's something interesting about his statement. Maybe he discovered something."

"And the props created can turn lizard-men into snake-men. It's incredible."

Then he raised his head and asked: "Just turn the lizard man into a snake man?"

The royal minister added: "No, Governor Anu also turned a snake man into a lizard man on the spot!"

King Morabi was silent for a while, and then came back to his senses after a while.

"That's it?"

"nothing else?"

The Royal Chamberlain: "Nothing else for the time being."

He waved everyone away, and King Morabi then picked up all the documents on the table and read them.

Those are the various national policies he has insisted on implementing over the years, and now he is finally watching them come to fruition one by one, or may have begun.

"Weakened the territory to regain power, provincial system, code and system reform, taxation, I have really done it all."

King Morabi laughed, got up and walked around the study.

There was a bit of pride and pride on his face.

He suddenly remembered the scene when Osis left, and he pointed at himself and said in front of everyone.

"The rest will be left to you."

"This is your kingdom now, and it's a mortal kingdom."

Morabi believes that if he can stand in front of the other party again, he can hold his head up proudly.

"Your Majesty Ossis!"

"Look, I built the Kingdom of Suinhor into what you want it to be."

He was so excited that it was a pity that he couldn't find the time when he really wanted to talk.

Only when he looked in the mirror and saw himself in the mirror, Morabi's smile gradually stopped.

What he saw was not a young and strong middle-aged man, but an aging snake man.

He suddenly realized.

No matter how high his status is, no matter how many people kneel before him.

He is always just an ordinary mortal, a mortal who is no longer young and is getting older.

"It's a pity that I'm not you, I'm not a god."

"I am just a mortal body, and I will eventually turn into dust in the years."

"It's hard for me to see a future for Suinhall."

"But I will let you see, and let your future self see, what a great kingdom I have left behind."

Morabi left the mirror and returned to the table.

It was already dark, so he lit the lamp and still read the letters from all sides.

The older we get, the more time feels fleeting.

The more I want to seize the time, the more I want to do everything I can.

Because all he can leave behind is this great kingdom and his indelible achievements.

He does not allow any existence to block or delay the advancement of this kingdom to greatness, not even himself. He always reminds himself that he cannot slack off or relax.

——

Under the lava volcano.

Black Rock City.

In the temple, whose main body is made of glass, two figures, one large and one small, are looking at something together.

It was a strange glass tank containing a small continent generated by fungi.

Among them, the mycelium is threaded together to become the earth, and the fungus ball rises to become a mountain. Each small fungus imitates the appearance of various life forms on the Ruhe Giant Island. Groups of fungi condense and turn into white clouds in the sky in the glass jar. Small boats invisible to the naked eye can be seen on the pale border sea.

It's just that compared with the original, a lid is added to the glass jar.

Sally and Sheila proudly introduced their work and compared it with Sheila's mirror.

"Sheila!"

"In my glass tank, I can see the changes in the whole world, everything that is happening."

"No secret in this world can be hidden from it, even if it is something that happens in the corner."

Sheila's mirror can see the past, while Sally's glass jar contains the present.

Sheila said: "The magic mirror can also see the present. What is happening around people can also be seen through the mirror."

Sally pouted: "My glass tank has not evolved completely yet, and it will definitely become more powerful in the future."

Sheila pressed her face against Sally's and squeezed in with her.

Smiled and told her.

"What I want to say is that my mirror is also your mirror. You can use anything I have."

"We are one, there is no mine and yours."

"Only ours."

Sally held down her glass jar and laughed.

"Then you can use my glass jar, but your power is in the dream world. You can't poke a hole in the world like me."

Sheila doesn't think there's anything interesting about poking holes in the world.

However, the fairy with long golden hair was very curious about what was going on in the glass tank and was very interested in this world composed of fungi.

In particular, it actually simulated the entire giant island of Ruhe, which made the goblin very curious about its status.

Sheila tried to communicate with it, but the Void Bacteria did not answer it.

"How come it doesn't have wisdom yet?"

Sally said: "Why don't they have intelligence? Of course they do."

Sheila said: "Then why don't they respond to me?"

Sally told Sheila: "They are fighting, so they haven't decided yet who will respond to you."

Sheila was so surprised that she glanced inside the glass jar.

"they?"

Sally told Sheila: "The bacteria of nothingness is not one, but composed of many bacteria of nothingness, so there are many consciousnesses."

However, the consciousness of these bacteria is very weak, and each of them is not very smart. They basically just obey Sally's arrangements and orders like ants and bugs.

But now the issue of Sheila seems to have caused disputes and changes among these bacteria of nothingness.

Sally put her eyes against the glass jar, then changed the angle and put her ears against it.

As if listening to what the void bacteria in the glass jar were saying, she then turned her head and said to Sheila.

"They are meeting now to decide who will answer you."

Soon, Sally turned back to talk to Sheila.

"Their parliament is over."

Sheila asked: "Has the decision been made and they want to have a dialogue with me?"

Sally said: "No, they feel that the problem cannot be decided in a meeting, and now they are ready to use force to decide who will answer the question."

"They started fighting."

In the blink of an eye, I saw chaos inside the glass jar.

The world in the tank collapsed and turned into countless tiny bacteria, all of which were attacking each other.

Gradually, the bacteria merged into hyphae, which seemed to be much smarter than ordinary void bacteria. They actually began to have skills and tactics.

Gradually, the mycelium turned into strains, and these strains actually learned to work as a team and use strategies.

In the end, the strains devoured each other and turned into several large and small mushrooms.

Then the mushrooms rotated in circles in the glass tank, nodding toward the outside.

Sally watched a good show and clapped her hands very happily and said.

"They have decided on five kings."

"The five kings decided to take turns..."

Before Sally could finish speaking, she looked outside and heard a voice coming from far away.

"No, those bacteria of nothingness outside don't agree to elect the king without their approval."

"Now they refuse to recognize these kings, believing that these kings cannot represent them in dialogue with the Void Bacteria and Sheila."

Silla looked into the small glass jar, with an expression on her face that she didn't know how to describe.

Maybe it's a bit confusing.

Because it was only a short moment, and a civilized drama seemed to have evolved in the small glass jar.

Sheila and Sally said, "Forget it, Sally, tell them to stop fighting."

"I actually don't have any meaningful questions to ask, just because I'm a little curious about what kind of existence they are."

"But now, I understand what kind of life they are."

Sally knocked on the glass jar: "Sheila doesn't want to talk to you anymore, hurry up and set up the sand table."

She learned like a little adult and taught these nihilistic bacteria a lesson.

"You guys don't do your work seriously, you only know how to fight and compete for favor."

Under the vibration of the glass jar, all the bacteria of nothingness inside were frightened.

The original five mushroom kings collapsed instantly and turned into countless entangled and overlapping mycelium, and then re-materialized the entire giant island of Luh.

Tiny bacteria of nothingness synchronized with the various life forms on the giant island again, and appeared in front of Sally.

Silla breathed a sigh of relief: "No one among them was killed just now, right?"

Sally said: "They don't die, they just change from one form to another."

For the bacteria of nothingness, death and reincarnation have different definitions and rules from other lives.

But Sally didn't think too much at the moment, she only cared about the state presented in the glass jar.

Sally pointed to each place in the glass jar and said.

"Look, it's going to rain heavily here soon."

"A wildfire is about to break out here."

"And here, the plague is about to spread."

After hearing this, Silla was very confused.

"plague?"

"How do you know?"

Sally said: "Because the Void Bacteria knows everything that's going on."

"It knows all the secrets of the world, because every living thing has microorganisms in its body, and it can control these microorganisms."

"But that hasn't happened yet," Sheila said.

Sally told Sheila: "In the world of fungi, it has already happened. They have seen that the plague is spreading, spreading, and breaking through the human body."

"Just think about it and you know that the plague is definitely going to happen."

"The plague will definitely be very serious and many people will die."

Afterwards, Sally pointed to a cloud simulated by mycelium in the glass tank: "Look at this cloud, it's like this. It will move here later, and then it will rain heavily."

She pointed to the forest again: "The temperature here is rising, and it will soon reach the critical point, and a fire will break out."

Sheila felt that this went beyond the scope of putting the present into a glass jar: "Are you already predicting things that have not happened in the future?"

"Your Void Bacteria is really powerful."

"Everyone has microorganisms in their body, so you can know all the secrets of this person through them, including his birth, old age, illness and death."

"Even through the birth, old age, illness and death of these people, and through the changes sensed by microorganisms, we can learn about some things that may happen in the future."

Through this small glass jar, Sheila seemed to see the whole world as a living body.

"If this world is also a life, then are snake people, winged people, lizard people, beasts and fish also microorganisms in this life?"

Sally was a little excited and asked Sheila: "Ah, does this count as predicting the future?"

Sally also heard what Sheila said later and instantly started to make connections.

"You mean, I should turn this glass jar into a living thing?"

"Yes, the glass jar becomes a living thing, symbolizing the world; all the bacteria of nothingness turn into all life and species, simulating all situations."

"If I impose further conditions, the evolution inside will accelerate."

"In this case, I can not only let it know all the secrets of the present, but also deduce the secrets of the future based on my thoughts?"

"So I can know what the future is like?"

"I can not only put the present world into a glass jar, but I can also put the future of the world into it."

Silla immediately shook her head and said: "It's not a prediction. After all, what you said is just speculation, and there are countless possibilities in the future."

"For example, you just said that the plague will definitely break out, and then it will become very serious."

"But maybe the plague was discovered just after it started, or the person who just started to get sick quickly met a skilled doctor and was cured quickly."

"In this case, perhaps there will be no outbreak of plague."

Sally said: "Ah, that's it. It's boring."

"I thought that in the future that happened in a glass jar, the whole world would be like that?"

Sally doesn't just want to observe the world through a glass jar, to exert her power over the world.

She even wanted to control the future of the world through this glass jar.

Silla shook her head: “The future is uncontrollable.”

"Your bacteria of nothingness can imitate the appearance and status of everyone now, but it cannot imitate this person's thoughts and next actions. You can imitate the world, but you cannot take into account factors outside the world."

"More importantly, you can predict what everyone else will do in the future, but what about you? Will you, knowing the future, change and destroy the future you predicted now?"

"Even if you can exert force on every individual, God's will can reverse all the effects you exert."

"so!"

"You deduce countless futures in a glass jar, and those are also the futures in the glass jar, and they will not become the future of this world."

Sheila finally told Sally very seriously.

"And, Sally!"

"Even if the future is controllable, I don't want you to control the future of this world."

Sally said, "Why?"

Sheila said: "The future that is predetermined is hopeless."

Sally looked at her glass tank, a little frustrated.

"I thought it was going to be more fun."

"It seems that it can only predict the weather and the plague."

Sally knocked on the glass jar again, and the void bacteria inside felt shaking again.

Sally said to them, "You are so useless."

It didn't take long.

Sally hugged her glass jar and came to the corridor of the temple, where she saw God Insai.

She immediately rushed to Yin Shen and asked Him: "God, do you know what the future will be like?"

It seems that she has not given up her intention to put the future into her own glass jar, and wants to get answers from the omnipotent Creator.

Last time, she used this method to influence the creator Yinsai, thereby modifying the fate that was said to be unchangeable and predictable.

In the glass corridor, God Yinsai stood in front of the transparent window in a white robe.

Tell her: "The future I know is not necessarily the future now."

Sally raised her eyelids, moved her eyes upward, and tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm~"

"So does this mean you know or don't know?"

The God of Insai chuckled: "Perhaps I won't know until I arrive at the other end of time again."

Sally felt that these words were too profound, and after thinking about them for a long time, she still didn't understand them.

But at this time, she suddenly remembered something else.

The little girl immediately showed a cute expression and took out a candy wrapped in gold paper from her pocket.

She handed it to God, as if she had something good that she couldn't wait to share with God.

"god!"

"Eat sweets!"

"This candy is delicious. It's a new product created by the fairies."

God picked up the candy and glanced at Sally.

Then the gold paper was peeled off.

Sally was so anxious in anticipation that she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She clenched her hands tightly behind her back and even stood on tiptoes.

She immediately put her previous questions behind her.

Because the things in front of you are much more exciting than putting the world and the future into a glass jar.

She wanted to see what Insai looked like with her hair exploding.

However, when Insai God stuffed the candy into his mouth, Sally's hair exploded.

Sally's brown hair stood up into spikes, like a thorn ball beast at full power.

She looked at Yin Shen innocently and touched her hairy head.

But it couldn't be healed after half a day.

God asked her: "Sally, did your glass jar predict the outcome?"

Sally now fully knew that predicting the future was unreliable. If her Void Bacteria wanted to go further, she could only try to develop other abilities.

——

Moonlight City.

A corpse was carried into the medical fort. Lizardman Anu and several other people wore black robes and surrounded the body tightly.

He asked a doctor who came out of it: "Are you sure?"

The other party nodded and said, "I'm sure it's a plague."

In this era, confirming a plague is not confirming it is a disease.

And just confirming that it has the ability to infect is enough.

Anu's expression changed drastically. He didn't know where the plague was brought from, and where it started to break out.

His first reaction was to give the order immediately.

"Issue an injunction and lock down the whole city."

"Let all doctors and physician apprentices in the city, together with veterinarians and all people who have received medical inheritance, come to this medical castle immediately."

The plague predicted by the Void Bacteria has really arrived.
