The Tragic Tullatin, the Ridiculous Dolgo D
Cheng Shi listened patiently with a smile on his face, but inside he was in shock. His hands behind his back were calculating, afraid that he might have misunderstood the complicated family relationships.
However, there is still a slight error in this logic, because Cheng Shi remembers that Tullatin said that only those with the bloodline of Berios can break the seal in the library. So, if Tullatin is not Berios' child, how did the future Afros break the seal in the library?
Why did Berios kill this replica of Golis, and the child he had raised with such care?
Cheng Shi frowned, having some guesses in his mind, but guesses are never reliable, so he suppressed his doubts and continued listening.
Golis's story is clearly not over yet.
As the former head of the church was promoted to bishop and Berios gradually took over the affairs of the Dolgo D Divine Nurturing Church, Golis's Faith, as Lisfir had said, began to Change.
She suddenly realized that even becoming a member of the Divine Nurturing Church, and even becoming the wife of the current cult leader, did not bring her any closer to Him.
Humans are just humans; they can never get close to the supreme God. The insurmountable gap between humans and God made her feel deeply Despair, to the point that she had suicidal thoughts.
Berios noticed Golis's sorrow, and in order to cheer up his beloved wife, he began to gather information that could help her get closer to Him.
Such messages often circulate among Believer of various evil gods, and are filled with falsehoods and delusions, with no true path whatsoever.
But Berios didn't want to give up, so he began to secretly collect all sorts of information about the pilgrimage to the gods, hoping to find a useful clue.
But to his surprise, when he left the church one day, Golis, who came looking for him, discovered these things and secretly tried them out during the days he was away.
The guilt she felt had driven Golis to madness. She used various methods of worshipping evil gods on herself to pray for the attention of [Birth], but she failed.
In just a few days, she went from a beautiful and charming Wuma Sinners to a filthy, stinking lump of flesh that could only writhe.
Although she retained consciousness, although she became incredibly strong, and although from the perspective of some Believer in evil gods she had become "He" in a certain sense, she did fail because she did not feel any gaze or approach from "Birth".
When Berios returned to Dolgo D and discovered all this, it was too late. He regretted making such a decision, but all the methods of the Church could not remedy the situation. So he could only hope to continue searching for a way to restore Golis through the power of the evil god.
When Lisfir also learned of this, he acquired a new identity in addition to his identity as a church Believer: the king of the underworld of Dolgo D.
The two intelligence networks, one black and one white, were completely captured by the two men, all in order to collect as many evil and mysterious techniques as possible to save their beloved, who had transformed into a monster.
This is why he and Lisfir brought Cheng Shi to the underground lake.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi understood.
The Birth Descendant Technique sealed in the library was probably not sealed to seal the "blasphemous forbidden technique" at all; this cult leader might be using it as bait.
It is obvious that, apart from praying for unreliable blessings from evil gods, the Believer of evil gods who want to increase their strength can only collect things that are rejected and abandoned by major forces. The secret arts that blaspheme the True God are undoubtedly the most attractive to them.
Firstly, these forbidden techniques, which the church keeps secret, must be incredibly powerful. Secondly, unlike those rumors that are spread without verification, these real taboos are not unverifiable. The forbidden techniques sealed by various powers are verifiable and have clear targets.
Therefore, as long as the Believer of the evil god learn about these things, in order to pursue power, they will definitely try to find a way to get their hands on them.
Berios clearly exploited this psychology of those who sought after the evil god.
As for why the evil Believer knew so much about the things sealed in the church library, it was naturally because one of the fishermen was the King of the Underground of Dolgo D, Lisfir.
The collaboration between the two men brought them under the control of almost all the infidels who entered Dolgo D.
Therefore, when Berios discovered that it wasn't the heretics they had tracked who were unsealing the forbidden books in the library, but rather his own "child," he hesitated; he had to consider things more carefully:
He feared that this chaos was not a staged event orchestrated by Lisfir, but rather that someone genuinely wanted to seize the secret techniques and plot against the Church.
He feared that his wicked son, whom he knew, might suddenly decide to use the secret arts of the Wuma Sinners to "destroy" Dolgo D on some level.
Berios may have no feelings for Dolgo D, but he cannot lose the Divine Nurturing Church, nor can he give up his position as its leader, because only in this way can he have the power and strength to gather everything he wants and to save his lover Golis.
So, after much hesitation, the cult leader made a firm decision and killed his son on the spot.
However, he did not know that the child was not a real Tullatin, but Tullatin from another future.
Ironically, it was Tullatin's nominal mother, but in reality his "father," who killed him!
Those enormous tentacles were clearly formed from Golis's flesh and blood.
She gave Tullatin life decades ago, only to take it away last night...
But that's not the most absurd thing. The most absurd thing is that they knew perfectly well that it was Tullatin who had died, but in their previous meetings, neither the nominal father nor the actual mother had ever mentioned Tullatin even once.
In their eyes, Tullatin was not even as good as a wild dog that could heal Golis's Faith in the evil god!
It's really... pathetic.
The rest is easy to figure out.
Tullatin was probably able to break the seal on the library because of his bloodline, but not that of Berios, but that of the Uma.
That seal was probably made by Golis for the church. After all, the Uma people know the Uma people best, and Tullatin happens to be her bloodline, so she was able to use the power of her bloodline to break the seal.
Thinking about it now, all the chaos of last night makes sense.
Cheng Shi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was thinking, "Indeed, Trials may be the players' domain, but they are never the protagonists of history."
However, Dolgo D is a really interesting place.
The Wuma Sinners were extremely devout to the Birth, instigated a pair of boys who were originally devout to the Birth to lose their devotion;
The leaders of the religion that Faith "Birth" have turned a blind eye to their blasphemous opponents and have even attempted to join forces to find ways to deviate from "Birth".
A cold-blooded father killed his own child to save his unconscious mother, but by chance, another "kind and righteous" father was born, along with a child he least wanted to see.
Leaving aside what [Birth] thinks about this matter, and what role [time] plays in the evolution of the story, let's just talk about [Destiny]...
She's still so unpredictable.
Oh, my Lord of Grace, no wonder you always get scolded. In this situation, how could you not get scolded?
However, to be fair, the fact that this Trials was able to defeat Mo Shu's clone was entirely due to [Destiny].
Destiny may indeed take Wrong Path, but these Wrong Path all seem to be those of my enemies who want to kill Wrong Path.
Praise be to Destiny once again!
