I Am God!

The rolling steam train of Kucha Kuca moved quickly, and the demon spirit's fire element steam engine emitted billowing white smoke.

The car window reflects Lillian at this moment, the past is reflected in the glass ball, and the train is heading towards the future.

Lilian heard the strange woman's words and started to read them along with her.

But in the end she said: "I gained a lot, but in the end not only did I lose what I gained, but I also lost everything I had."

There was a touch of sadness on Lillian's face. She used to think that she was strong and brave enough and would never cry. She would respond with claws and claws when facing the most ferocious enemy.

She would rather bleed than shed tears.

But at this moment she understood that it is not the enemy that really brings you pain, but the loss.

And it was not the enemy that ultimately destroyed everything for her, but the choice she made in the first place.

They go to success because of this, and they go to destruction because of this.

"We want to live a better life, we want to change our destiny."

“We may be doing it wrong, but how do we get it right?”

Lillian couldn't understand.

But the pictures in the bead did not end. Those pictures seemed to be intermittent, one after another.

Not only is it incoherent, but even the chronological order is misplaced.

There are witches' ships, kings and nobles, grand ceremonies, and crazy sacrifices.

finally.

She saw a thunderstorm.

Dark clouds and storms that cover the sky are coming quickly, and with the storms, there are a large number of giant jellyfish that are like mountains.

That is the son of the Titan.

They ride the storm and dance with the thunder.

The sons of the Titans emitted light to dispel the darkness, and lightning tore through the sky.

Finally, the darkness in the sky cracked a line, and then opened wider and wider.

A blood-red eye appeared in the sky, staring at Thunder Swamp, carrying the power to destroy everything. Even though Lilian knew nothing about it, she vaguely understood what it was.

That's God.

"Boom!"

The hollow thunder came from the sky in the picture and also exploded in Lilian's ears.

The moment Lilian heard the thunder, she seemed to hear a voice of doubt.

Then, she fell completely into a coma.

"Is that...the word of God?"

These were her last thoughts before falling into coma.

And as tears fell from the corners of her eyes, it seemed as if something had left her body, and her body seemed to be connected to something.

the other side.

In the witch's palace in the Thunder Temple.

The girl was served and put on the witch's gorgeous clothes. The large blue robe was retro in style and printed with noble and sacred patterns. It was as if the sky was draped over her body.

The girl stood in her bedroom, her beautiful makeup and figure reflected in the mirror beside her, while she looked up at the ancient painting that had been hanging in the palace for a long time, "The Lost Kingdom" replica.

in the painting.

The sea of ​​clouds is untouchable, and the Kingdom of God is far away.

She stretched out her hand and touched it, as if she had grasped something that was once untouchable and out of reach.

The girl still felt as if she was in a dream, and she had become a "witch".

The most perfect existence that she longed for when she was a child, now he has replaced her.

In this case.

Will you become perfect yourself?

She is no longer a washerwoman, nor the second sister of the Yaen family, but the spokesperson of God.

She let go of her hand and asked the maid serving her: "Did anything happen today?"

The maid talked about many things, related to the king, the interior minister, border conflicts and various temples, but these big things seemed not to be what she wanted to care about.

She just asked: "Where is Chengnan, did anything happen today?"

The maid thought for a long time and seemed to finally remember something: "It seems that a villain who committed evil was hanged. It's very strange. I don't know why Mr. Como also passed by. How could an adult like him pay attention to such a villain? It’s really weird.”

If it weren't for Mr. Como, even this maid might not know about this matter. After all, who would remember the life and death of an insignificant person!

Of course the girl knew what the other party was doing. She was responsible for arranging and watching the "villain" be hanged, and also led another "villain" to arrest him.

She twitched her fingers, as if she wanted to ask something else, but she didn't ask for a long time.

At this time, Lord Como, whom the maid just mentioned, also came back.

The other party stopped outside the palace and began to salute without entering.

The girl asked the others to retreat and looked at the Como Goddess: "How is it?"

The Divine Attendant of Como said this: "No one knows your past anymore, Your Highness!"

"starting today."

"You have only one name, your name is - Liz."

"A great and holy name."

"Your Highness the Sky Witch!"

Although nothing was said explicitly, everything was said.

For a moment, the girl in gorgeous clothes felt the feeling of falling deeper into a dream. Her whole body felt light and airy, and even the images and sounds of the surrounding world were blurred.

She swayed back a few times.

Staggering, she saw herself in the mirror.

In her sight, the image of herself in the mirror became blurry little by little, as if she was becoming another person.

It was as if she was leaving this world and becoming incompatible with it.

The girl didn't know what expression and attitude she should use to face the illusory self and the real world. At this moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

It seemed like she should be sad because she had lost something.

And it seems that she should be happy. She also gained a lot of things. She became the perfect existence that she longed for.

At this time, Divine Attendant Como spoke again.

"Your Highness Liz!"

"Stop worrying about irrelevant people, you have more important things to do."

"This year's sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. In the past few years, you were unable to appear because you were asleep. This year, you should also show yourself in front of others."

"You don't need to let everyone see you, you just need to accept the worship of mortals in the temple."

After being reminded by Como, the girl looked at her own shadow in the mirror and gradually settled down.

The washerwoman in the slums of the past can no longer be seen, only a noble and holy Her Highness the Witch with an indifferent expression is left.

"Yes, I am a witch."

"I'm not her anymore."

Divine Attendant of Como: "Go and accept the cheers of the people, your newly born witch."

The "Witch" finished dressing up, put on the pendant that exuded divine light, and sat on the seat next to the Titan statue.

She watched the ceremony begin, watched the noble and powerful man kneeling outside, waiting for her, and then bowed to her in worship.

Even the king prostrates himself in front of him.

Everyone needs a witch.

The Thunder Temple needs it, the kings and nobles need it, and even this country needs it.

She heard cheers coming like waves from below.

"Your Highness the Sky Witch..."

There was a smile on her lips, but a tear flowed out of her eyes for no apparent reason.

She felt as if a big hole had opened in her heart, but a trickle of happiness flowed out of the hole, and more and more flowed out, even drowning her.

The sweet nectar of happiness was over her head, and it was so much that she couldn't breathe.

She opened her arms.

Feeling satisfied and surrounded by happiness, she already had everything.

She laughed and wiped away her tears while mouthing.

"I am the Witch Liz VIII."

——

Lillian woke up.

She opened her eyes, and then found that her eyelids seemed not to be open.

"What's wrong?"

She tried repeatedly to open her eyes, but even if she opened them as wide as possible, she still couldn't see anything.

Only then did she realize that she had lost the vision in her eyes and she could not see anything.

She turned her head and looked around, but she could feel the heat around her.

Without eyes, she seems to be able to feel things in the darkness that she could not feel before. She cannot see light and darkness, but she can feel the rhythm of everyone's life.

Some are young, like torches.

Some are as old as a candle.

She didn't panic, it seemed like there was nothing that could scare her now.

She just got up and followed others. Although she couldn't see them, she could still walk smoothly.

When she got out of the car, she heard someone shouting.

"We've arrived."

"The Oriental Station of the Ten Thousand Snakes Ruling Kingdom has arrived."

Only then did Lilian know that she had left the Thunder Kingdom.

She stood at a border station in another country, a place she had never been to, watching hundreds of "flames of life" pass by her.

She looked at her hands and her chest, and she seemed to be able to see the flames jumping.

She suddenly remembered the last words her eldest brother said to her.

"Leave here and don't come back."

"Be who you want to be!"

However, Lillian didn't know who she wanted to be.

She once longed to be a rich person and change her poor life.

she says.

You must be a person who doesn't follow the rules and don't be a mediocre person.

But in the end, she only talked about her desire for change. What she expected in the end was to live happily with her brothers and sisters.

She said she wanted to break the rules and not follow any order, but when she saw the rules being completely broken, she was the most uneasy.

She talks about getting something at all costs, but when she actually loses everything, she cries and regrets it.

She was like an innocent and impulsive child, running around without knowing where she was going.

She had no answer and no longer thought about it.

She decided to just go with her feelings.

Next.

She walked between various cities in the Ten Thousand Snakes' ruling country, and then left the Ten Thousand Snakes' ruling country and walked among various countries.

Since losing her vision, she can not only see the rhythm of human life.

She also seems to have acquired some other abilities.

She could always predict where it was going to rain, where the wind was going to blow, where the weather would plummet and where it would get warmer again.

She couldn't see with her eyes, but she always seemed to see some strange pictures.

She could always look at the clouds in the sky from a strange perspective, see which way the wind was going, and see thunder and rain somewhere.

It's not just that.

What's even more peculiar is that it seems to rain wherever she goes, as if the rain clouds are chasing her.

And the rain would change according to her mood, sometimes getting heavier and sometimes getting smaller.

Those places with lots of rain don't like her. Some people even cursed why it rains all the time and hate the dark and humid weather.

Therefore, she cannot always stay in one place.

Because as long as she lives in one place for a long time, she seems to pass on the sadness and darkness in her heart to everyone else.

But one day, she arrived in a dry area and it was like a whole new world opened up.

Everyone here welcomes the arrival of rain and welcomes her warmly.

Lilian was very happy and stayed here for a while longer.

But it just stayed a little longer.

But in the following time, she would walk and wander in these places most of the time. Sometimes she chose to come to the country of yellow sand, and sometimes she would walk in the wilderness of the north.

She began to use her ability to walk everywhere, bring rain to others, and guide others to plant crops.

And when some serious astronomical disasters are about to happen, she will also remind people around her and tell them to be prepared.

"There will be heavy rain tonight."

"There will be strong winds tomorrow, so you should be prepared."

"It's going to hail this afternoon."

"There will be a cold wave coming in a few days..."

She grew up little by little, from a girl to an adult woman, and gradually became mature.

And wherever she went, her miraculous abilities were astounding to everyone, and no one knew exactly how she did it.

In these parts she was known as: "Lillian the Weather Seer."

Later, it became: "Prophet Lillian."

Many people believe that she knows everything and can even predict. Otherwise, how could she know so accurately when it will rain and when it will thunder and wind?

She wandered these places for many years, and many people even regarded her as the incarnation of a god.

After all, in the eyes of mortals, perhaps only gods can control the heavens and predict the future.

Whenever she arrives, people in some cities and villages will even kneel to greet her, shouting "Lillian, the great prophet".

But she thought it was a bit ridiculous, she said to everyone.

"I'm not great, and I'm not a prophet."

However, no one believed what she said.

She could only stand outside the town, facing everyone's kneeling and admiration, and said mockingly to herself.

"I still haven't figured out what I want and how I should choose when faced with the path of life."

"I know nothing about this path in life."

The eastern part of the country of yellow sand.

Lillian wandered here. She felt a little tired, so she looked for a place to stay temporarily.

She lives in a beautiful farmhouse, where a family of four lives together. Her father is a farmer who leaves early and comes home late every day, while her mother is always weaving upstairs.

Listening to the sound of the loom scratching, Lilian didn't feel noisy, but felt particularly at ease.

However, the two children in the family dislike this town very much and always want to leave here and go out to do a "big career".

While the two children were fighting, one of them ran up to Lilian.

"Lady Lilian, can you really predict the future?"

"What kind of person will I become in the future? Will I become a big shot?"

"I don't know the future," Lillian said.

The child was a little disappointed, thinking that Lilian was unwilling to say: "Ah!"

Lillian looked at the child and seemed to see her former self.

She suddenly asked her child: "If you were asked to give up something and do something you don't want to do in order to get something you want, would you be willing?"

The child said: "Hey, why is that, can't I want them all?"

Lilian thought the same way when she was a child, but now she shook her head.

"It's a pity that in this world, you just can't get anything without giving up."

"Even giving up something to get something is a luxury."

“Most of the time we give up a lot and end up with nothing.”

The child thought for a while and then said.

"In order to get what I want, I should give up some things and do things I don't want to do."

"But at least, there are some things you can't give up, and there are some things you can never do!"

Lilian smiled bitterly, but she felt very relieved.

"You're smarter than me."

"But once a person starts to give up something, he can't stop sliding towards the abyss."

"It's much harder to stick to your heart than you think!"

She rubbed the child's head and raised the corners of her mouth.

"I hope you can do it!"

After a conversation between Lilian and the child, she gradually recalled herself as a child, and suddenly remembered everything in Thunder City that she didn't want to remember.

She stood up and looked into the distance, lost in memories.

"Maybe it's time to go back and take a look."

——

"Buzz buzz!"

The propeller rotated, and a fish-shaped mechanical creation passed through the clouds, and the boundless lake and cloud mountains in the distance were seen.

And below, there are cities.

The demon spirit in the cockpit turned its head to the back. After knocking, a snake man inside stood up and reminded the passengers present.

She said loudly: "Get ready, we will arrive at the station soon."

Someone asked: "Where are you?"

Answer: "Next stop, Thunder City."

There is a silent woman in the back corner of the airship. Her figure looks mature and beautiful, but she is wearing a hat with black gauze, covering her entire face.

She looked out the window without saying a word, watching the fish-like mechanical airship land at the high-altitude airship docking station, and looking at her long-lost hometown.

Twenty years after leaving her hometown, Lillian finally returned to Thunder City.

She looked down hard. Although she couldn't see anything, she could feel the familiar atmosphere.

But when she walked down, she walked into the city.

But I feel like I no longer recognize my hometown.

"Many magic obelisks." She felt the fluctuation of special power everywhere. Thunder City, which originally had only one magic obelisk pillar, has already erected dozens of magic obelisks. This city was among the first to be selected. The cities that have been exposed to the Magic Network are also undergoing transformation with the advent of the Magic Network era.

"The public magic crystal car is also available here." Lilian stood on the roadside, listening to the sound of the wheels rubbing against the track, looking at the firelights representing life, and riding on it, she knew what it was.

She felt one after another public magic crystal cars driven by the power of magic crystals passing by on the track on the spacious road. This thing did not exist when she was a child. At that time, they owned a second-hand magic crystal car in the south of the city. Steamboats are already very powerful, but now most people in the city can easily ride on this magic crystal prop.

She walked slowly carrying a box, as if she wanted to retrieve those childhood memories from this city.

The former Chengnan Pier has undergone earth-shaking changes. A large number of magic crystal steamboats have been docked on the pier, and there are even magic crystal ironclad ships passing by, making violent jet sounds.

The magic network has covered the entire city, and there are more magic crystal props that can support and drive it.

She passed by the wall of the old shipbuilding workshop. This was the place where she used to pass by with dirty clothes in her arms. Now she passed by again and found that it had become a magic crystal car manufacturing workshop, but the noise of the workers was quite loud. It came out from the wall as usual.

She returned to the slum where she used to live. Everything here was as before, not much changed from twenty years ago, except that their home was no longer their home, and they didn't encounter a few familiar figures.

"No one is here anymore!"

Until she heard someone handing out gospel tracts and shouting loudly.

"The Chief Divine Attendant of the Thunder Temple, Mr. Como, has distributed the gospel to everyone for free..."

Only then did she hear a familiar name and recall something.

She looked at the person handing out gospel tracts and suddenly remembered her dead second sister. At that time, she liked to receive such tracts and take them home to read.

"Is Cuomo already chief?"

She came to the place where Yaen Transport Company used to be. The small warehouse was still there, but the signboard had long been removed.

The door was closed tightly, and it seemed that no one had rented it for the time being, and there was no one inside.

Lilian looked around and found that there was no one outside.

She cautiously approached the door of the warehouse, with a smirk on her lips, as if she had turned into the impulsive and courageous girl again.

She picked up the stone and broke the lock, then entered inside.

But after entering it and groping around, her expression was a little strange.

"?"

She felt something strange.

Surprisingly, many places here are the same as before, without much change.

She touched the table where her eldest brother lit a lamp every night to settle accounts, and she also touched the lamp that she had brought from home.

There is also a temporary bed in the corner, and it is also very clean.

The secret compartments hidden in the walls are still there, as are all the valuable objects inside.

But after opening it, there was an old and yellowed gospel book inside, which was written with the date of the Reincarnation Day Sacrifice Ceremony of Her Highness Liz VII.

"Someone kept this place and came here?"

Lillian took out the yellowed old gospel book and touched it vigorously, with deep doubts appearing on her face.
