The means of the angels were naturally more profound than Nietzsche's. Only Yoel could sense the various information contained in the staff, and as his realm grew, he would naturally comprehend it when he could. After all, Yoel was not a mortal, he was Amon, the Lord of Heaven in the cycle of reincarnation.
Now that the ritual was over, Yoel no longer hid it. He told John about his encounter with the old storyteller in the Syah Desert, and his encounter with Bright Moon Night on the Indian River, and how he had given him Moses's staff.
The meeting between the two of them today could be said to be a clever and hidden arrangement made by the angels. Moses secretly guided John to the Jedan River to baptize the people, and when Yoel returned to his hometown, he happened to receive this baptism.
Whether it was Ilya, Bright Moon Night, or Moses, none of them personally awakened the power of Yoel. On the one hand, they were afraid of unknown effects on Yoel's search for confirmation in the human world, and on the other hand, they did not want the Olympus gods to notice any clues. Everything was carried out naturally in the human world, which was the safest.
John also reminded Yoel that the news that he was the prophesied Messiah must be kept strictly confidential and not easily revealed to others, otherwise it might cause an unexpected disaster.
Yoel replied frankly: "This is not something to be ashamed of, I don't care about keeping it a secret, but I won't publicize it and tell others everywhere. Messiah is not a title, but an achievement, an achievement that can only be obtained with such a vow and completed such a mission.
He can be me or you, it doesn't matter who we call ourselves! "
John praised: "You're right, my reminder is superfluous.
May I ask you something? I used the baptism ritual to awaken the power of people I met at any time, breaking the rules of the Child Shrine. What do you think of it? "
Yoel smiled: "The priests of the Shrine control this ritual, believing that it is a privilege bestowed by the gods, and being able to receive this ritual has become a status symbol of glory and privilege.
But this path was originally there, it is infinitely broad. The path of one does not hinder the path of another. And I'm sure that even if it is publicly circulated. No one will compete for it. "
John pondered for a moment before asking, "Won't anyone fight for it? What do you mean by that? Why are you so confident in making such a judgment? " Jorah explained with a smile, "Even if we perform a public baptism for everyone who is willing to accept it, it will be very difficult to awaken the power of the origin, and the chances of transcending eternal life are even slimmer. Over the past hundred years, apart from the prophet Ilya, have you ever heard of anyone becoming an angel before the end of their lives and going directly to heaven?
The path of transcending eternal life was so difficult. Not only did one have to put in the most diligent cultivation in the world, they also had to pass through all kinds of difficult trials. In the end, the hope of crossing the end was so slim. For the vast majority of people, it was practically impossible. With the same amount of wisdom and effort, and with the same amount of effort and effort, it would be much easier to pursue fame, status, wealth, and beauty in the world!
If the world understood all of this, even if you pointed out this path to them, many people would still make other choices. It might be a kind of wisdom, or it might be a kind of fear. God should understand this, so he told the world about the existence of the path of eternal life. His purpose was not to give the priests a privilege, but to give the world hope.
As long as people are willing, you can let everyone accept the baptism and tell the truth as clearly as possible. There is no need to be so mysterious and complicated. God does not need to tempt people with eternal life. You should tell people directly that transcending eternal life is much more difficult than all other pursuits in the world. People can make their own choices with their limited lives, and only Satan will tempt people with desires. "
As Jorah spoke, the faint light of dawn appeared in the direction of the Euphrate Valley in the east. John narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "God does not need to tempt people with eternal life. Transcending eternal life is a difficult hope and achievement, not a reward in the temple." He repeated these words many times, and then bowed to the ground again. "Jorah, even if I did not hear the angel's voice, at this moment, I believe that you are the prophesied Messiah."
At daybreak, John bade farewell to Joseph and led his disciples away from this place. His mission was completed, but it was not over. There were more important things to do.
After returning home, Jorah greeted his parents and gave his mother all the money he had accumulated during his travels. Then, he walked alone in the wilderness and began a period of ascetic cultivation. He wanted to guide his disciples and baptize people like John, but he had to achieve great things first.
He took a boat along the Yedan River until he reached the southern shore of the Inner Lake and entered the edge of the Syah Desert. The first ritual of transcending eternal life was the "awakening of power", and the accompanying test was the "awakening of desire". It was not that the lower one's aptitude was, the more difficult the initial test was. Many later great achievers, when they first awakened their power, had a particularly fierce initial failure.
Yorgen was in the middle of the Gobi Desert. Looking south, he could see endless yellow sand. Next to him were bare rocks that were illuminated by the sun. The weather was particularly hot, and there was not a single green tree or fresh grass around him. Behind him, he could occasionally hear the low growls of wild beasts. His heart was also suffering from the heat.
When he sat down, he felt particularly hungry, as if he had not eaten for many days. But he had clearly eaten just now. There was also a fire burning in his body, accompanied by all kinds of conflicting desires.
He closed his eyes and entered meditation, and vaguely heard a voice in his soul. "You are the Son of Alor that the Kureng people have been waiting for. But the fate you will choose will not be like that of a human king. You will not have luxurious clothes, magnificent palaces, and hordes of servants. Why did he have to disappoint the people and himself like this? Become the king that the Kureng people have been waiting for. You know what they want! "
Amon roared in his soul. "You are Satan! Don't tempt me! "
The voice replied with a smile. "Yes, I am Satan, and I am you. This world belongs to me, and it belongs to you. Your soul is the same. With just a thought, I can give you everything you want. Don't be afraid of temptation. This temptation is innate. Otherwise, how will you know what to do? "
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yola's forehead. He gasped for breath and suddenly said slowly, "Please tempt me! Let me accept this kind of test. "Then his expression gradually calmed down.
While Jorah was meditating between the desert and the grassland, John led his disciples north along the Jedan River towards the city of Taleng. Along the way, he preached the Son of Alor's faith and baptized people. Just like what Jorah said, more and more people followed him.
The current ruler of the Maro Empire was using the local people to govern the local people. They appointed a governor, left a small army to maintain order, and appointed the local people as tax collectors to collect taxes for the Maro Empire. They also appointed a King of the Kureng people. His name was Herod.
This King Herod used the name of his father. His father, Herod the Elder, was the one who ordered the search of the newborn baby when Jorah was born. At that time, Yossi's parents received the guidance of Vincent, and fled to Ejypt with Yossi, escaping the disaster.
Herod was not an independent King. He was just a Maro King who symbolized the rule of the Maro Empire. His status was equivalent to that of a great lord. But in Tulum, his life was no different from that of a real king. He lived in a luxurious palace and had many servants under him.
Herod believed that he was the King of the Kureng people. Whether it was under the rule of the Maro Empire or the Kureng people established an independent state, he would always be the King. After the death of Augustus the Great, his successor was cruel and muddle-headed. His control over the remote Taleng Plains gradually weakened, so the Kureng people's desire to get rid of the rule became stronger and stronger. King Herod's power also increased.
Nowadays, there were two kinds of people in the Taleng area: the Kureng people and the Shuma people. The Kureng people were the descendants of the people Moses brought back to his hometown. They were the original miners of Duc. Their ancestors were the original owners of the land. After returning to Taleng, they were well cared for and respected. With their hard work and wisdom, they created wealth and status and passed it on to their descendants.
Hundreds of years had passed. From being respected for their hard work and wisdom, they gradually became a real social class. Many Kureng people thought that they were noble and different. The Shuma people were the descendants of the original cavemen, highland giants, and rogue proletarians from all over the continent. Their ancestors built this city on the swamp after the flood, but now they belonged to the lowest class.
The Kureng people who held power, especially the elders and priests of the Holy Temple, were always small.
They distinguished themselves from ordinary people, especially the Shuma people. They were used to wearing long robes that dragged the ground.
They gathered alone and claimed to be the chosen ones who were blessed by God. Allah and Moses agreed on ten commandments, but later the elders of Taleng set hundreds of rules according to the scriptures, claiming that every word and action was based on the will of God.
In fact, most of the Kureng people were not bad people. It was just that the subtle influence of custom made them arrogant. They thought that they were the best race in the world and the people who satisfied God the most.
