As soon as the idea that appeared in the bishop's mind appeared, it took root and sprouted like a strong seed, and he could never get rid of it.

He waved away the other priests, and lay alone on the wicker chair thinking.

The shaking of the rattan chair reminded him of his mother's embrace, and the slight shaking sound flowed into his ears, making him more and more tired until he fell asleep.

In the dream, he saw the future of the hot spring city.

In other words, it was his imaginary future.

He saw that this once prosperous city had completely declined, and the resplendent temple was now covered with a layer of dead ashes, and it seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time.

The statue of the God of Health fell to the ground, full of cracks. Although it hadn't reached the point of being torn apart, it was not far from being broken.

"What's going on here?" the old bishop muttered to himself.

At this time, he suddenly heard laughter.

Turning his head, he saw the tall city wall standing where the sun rose. The thick city wall gave people a very reliable sense of security. The only disadvantage was that the city wall did not belong to him, but the new hot spring city opposite.

Turning around, the bishop carefully climbed up the steps until he reached the highest point.

He could finally look beyond the city wall and see the scene on the other side of the city wall.

That was the scene he wanted to see in his dreams, the kingdom of God in his dreams.

He saw that everyone was treated equally, children in beautiful clothes and children in plain clothes were playing in the park to their heart's content, while their mothers were smiling and watching them not far away.

He saw that everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, and everyone could find a suitable job for them.

There is no need for them to walk into the factory at the risk of being burned to death just because of a few copper coins. Each of them has their own suitable room for development.

They give eight hours to work, eight hours to sleep, and eight hours to themselves.

"Ah, it's so beautiful~"

Stretching out his hand to the distance, he carefully touched the beautiful scenery with his dry fingers like touching foam, as if he could grasp the opposite thing into his palm.

But he knew clearly,

It doesn't belong there.

Once, he was full of hope and joined the God of Health sect with the ideal of saving the world.

But in order to please his superiors, he abandoned his principles.

In order to please the rich, he abandoned his conscience.

In order to please the gods, he abandoned his dream.

When he came back to his senses, he had already stood at the apex of the sect, but he found that his ideal had become farther and farther away.

If he was younger, he might still have the ambition to start over and compete with the new hot spring city across the way.

but now……

"It's not too late."

The breeze blew by, sending an alluring murmur.

"It's not too late."

His feet loosened abruptly, and the steps carrying him suddenly broke, causing him to fall uncontrollably from a height.

In the desperate feeling of falling, the old man woke up suddenly on the rattan chair, covered in sticky cold sweat.

It was getting late, and there was no moonlight to be seen outside, only thick darkness.

But in the new hot spring city in the distance, cheers and celebrations can be heard endlessly, and they seem to be celebrating the birth of a winner.

The magnificent fireworks began to be set off, and even through the glass, laughter could be heard from there, every sound was a mockery of him, mocking his cowardice and incompetence as a loser.

"I'm not incompetent, I'm just too old. If the people below work harder, I don't have to work so hard. No, no."

Holding his head, he tightly covered his ears, but the laughter still came through his fingers, making his headache worse and worse.

"It's not too late."

The whispering voice in the dream reappeared, making him finally make a decision.

Dragging his aging body, he picked up the dim light lantern and came outside alone.

Due to the large decrease in patients, the temple that was usually open all night has now closed early. The paladin who was on guard at night saluted quickly after seeing him, but was interrupted roughly by the old man immediately.

"Help me fast and don't let anyone near me, not anyone. I need to contact the god of health again."

"But your body..."

"No problem, cough cough, no problem."

After ordering the paladin to guard, the old man slowly moved like a snail to the prayer room that only the bishop can enter.

Counting on the wall, he found a suitable spot and pulled the switch.

Accompanied by a faint mechanical sound, the ground slowly unfolded after a slight vibration, revealing a dark hole.

Hang the gloom lantern on the protrusion outside the entrance of the cave, and the magic in the entrance of the cave is instantly activated, revealing a bright and bottomless passage.

Although it has been sealed for many years, the air inside is not stale, but has a sense of sacredness that makes people feel at ease.

Stepping on the stone steps, the bishop carefully descended while holding the handrail.

The long steps took him a lot of time, and when he finally reached the bottom, he finally saw the artifact of the God of Health sealed here.

The sacred artifact emitting holy light was sealed in a gold reliquary. Although it was sealed well by a gold plate one centimeter behind, the sanctity of it still leaked out.

Just as he was about to approach the artifact, a phantom appeared in front of the reliquary, and a hollow bellows-like sound sounded, accompanied by a bone-chilling chill, hitting the bishop.

"Don't touch him, you can't afford it."

"The former bishop... sorry, I have to use this thing."

"Don't touch, go back..."

"Feel sorry."

Ignoring the phantom's warning, the bishop stepped forward and put his hand on the reliquary.

Accompanied by the shaking sound that made people's teeth shine, the reliquary that had been sealed for hundreds of years began to start, and the golden shell was peeled off layer by layer, finally revealing the things inside.

a wooden cup.

Inside the wooden cup, the water that can be drunk in just one sip is stored there, quietly waiting for the next person to take it.

Stepping forward, the bishop held up the cup.

He looked at the water in the glass blankly, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind.

Finally, he threw his head back and poured the cold liquid down his throat.

As soon as the liquid slid down his throat, a gentle voice rang in his ears.

"What do you want? Strength, wealth, or power?"

Hearing this voice, the bishop knew that the contents of the Apocrypha did not lie to him.

Without further hesitation, he said what he really wanted.

"I want……"

After listening to his needs, the gentle voice sounded again: "Okay, I will grant your wish. Your wish has been fulfilled, goodbye."

Afterwards, the wooden cup blurred before the old man's eyes, and finally disappeared without a trace.

The old man felt a huge pain coming, which made him kneel down and moaned violently in a low voice.

Above the clouds, Shenshangshen commented on this scene, and then said to a little guy beside him: "You took a precious opportunity to contact me just to let me watch this? I admit that seeing the appearance of the Holy Grail is a bit interesting , but on the whole, it's too boring."

"I'm terrified." Seth bowed his head and apologized.

What appeared here was not Seth's body, but his shadow.

As a mortal, he doesn't have enough strength to transcend the long river of fate. What can get him here is just a request before the fall of the foolish god.

"Anytime, please give my successor a chance to meet you."

It is a supreme honor to be able to meet Shenshangshen, but Shenshangshen did not expect Seth to use this precious opportunity here.

This is also the first time in endless reincarnation.

It seems that not only the devil, but the interesting little guys summoned by the devil are also affecting this world, and bringing more and fresher content to this world.

Still, it's a bit tedious.

Looking at the apologetic Seth, God shook his head slightly.

"You don't have the function of panic, you don't even have fear. The poison of ignorance has completely changed your mind, and you don't have this kind of emotion at all. You have other arrangements."

"I admire your wisdom. Then please continue to watch."

God God patiently watched the bishop below, and after seeing the change in the other party, he finally smiled slightly.

"It's kind of fun to look at now."
