The gilded eyes gazed silently at the sky for a moment before shifting their gaze to the surroundings.
Sitting atop a platform over two hundred meters high, even with the city surrounded by towering buildings that obstruct the view, one still feels a sense of overlooking the highest peak.
"Why..."
Norton sighed deeply, his heart filled with emotion.
Looking back on his life, from the moment he opened his eyes in the Church, he was in a state of absolute oppression.
In the past, he was imprisoned, cannibalized, and Ascension by the Holy Lord Church. Later, after becoming Vampire, he was hunted by Holy Knight and Werewolf. After finally breaking the Church's rule, he had to worry about his divine origins.
Therefore, Norton used every means at his disposal, disregarding human life, and employing all sorts of insidious methods to save himself from dire straits, resulting in the death of millions of lives.
Today, he has become a god, and there is no one to oppress him anymore.
But what followed was not invincible joy, but a strange emptiness and a sense of fear that he might leave at any moment.
"I used to think that only by climbing to the highest point could I gain true freedom, but now it seems that the ultimate climb is actually another kind of constraint."
If Garden of Eden had not resonated with me, if God had not been so exclusive, if my soul had not been so unique, I would have found it difficult to return to Garden of Eden, and I would have found it difficult to possess flesh and blood and humanity.
Drifting aimlessly in the vast universe, gazing upon the boundless starry sky, Existence Level may seem lofty, but in reality, one is already under absolute confinement. Conversely, within this Garden of Eden, one may seem as insignificant as a grain of sand in the ocean, yet one can enjoy the blessings of desire.
It is truly pathetic that I, Norton, have only been concerned with potential crises in the past, and have not given a single thought to enjoying life, thus wasting my prime years.
Even the tragic events of the so-called bans on Kuba and Jonah could have been avoided, or at least delayed for millennia, but they were brought forward by Norton desires and schemes, not only breaking the ban on Garden of Eden, but also merging myself into the supreme starry sky.
Thus, Garden of Eden was once again returned to the universe, and energy and soul were once again integrated into the cycle of reincarnation.
However, because I, Norton, broke the seal between soul and matter, the universe will eventually experience heat death. Garden of Eden will inevitably enter a true 'Great Freeze' along with the entire universe.
Although I, Norton, can disregard the laws of the universe, in the end, I am the only one left in the entire empty universe!
I will eventually live forever alone in the endless void, my mind will eventually collapse, and I will automatically merge into that supreme rule...
Transcendence, transcendence, in the end, it's nothing more than finding one's final death.
I, Norton, will live on forever, but I, Norton, will also die in my immortality.
Norton sat upright on his throne, speaking as if no one else was around, and let out a long, quiet sigh.
This is the first time Norton has truly spoken his mind since he was born into this world.
This long sigh was filled with endless regret, the sorrow of wasted time, and an inability to let go of certain moments from his past.
But what he regretted most was releasing Kuba too early.
" Abraham, pressure can cloud a person's vision, and desire can cloud a person's mind. I could not understand the words of Jonah and Kuba in the past, but now, looking back over the long river of time, I have finally come to understand them a little."
Infinite expansion is the ultimate principle of God's operation and the foundation of God's propagation.
We, all things, are within God, molecules that constitute God, and also humble dust. Yet energy ultimately flows; infinite expansion brings about an ever-expanding space for energy flow, which also means that energy will become increasingly dispersed, until it freezes...
The ultimate outcome of everything will be chaos, disintegration, and death.
This is the end of the universe, and the foundation of Jonah, Kuba, and Shenyin's works.
However, Shenyin governs life, and life can incorporate energy, forcibly creating order, this is the miracle of resisting freezing. Therefore, Shenyin differentiating Himself, forms the foundation for the continuous propagation of the Garden of Eden. This is also the fundamental way to resist the flow of energy. (Life itself is a miracle of "local resistance to entropy increase" in the universe.)
Kuba's flesh and blood transcend reality, thus he seals himself away and resists the spread of reality with the gravitational pull of his Existence Level; he is the fundamental undifferentiated state of the universe. This is also the fundamental reason why the Garden of Eden has changed so much in the last ten thousand years. Perhaps you don't know that ten thousand years ago, the stars outside the Garden of Eden Garden of Eden around it, not like now, where the Garden of Eden revolves around the stars.
Jonah ruled over the soul, which, though not material, was a collection of energy.
Death separated the divine body, and the divine spirit never fades. The divine corpse hangs high on a stake, and the divine consciousness revives in Heaven. The messenger destroys the earth, Jonah is imprisoned in the sun. Shenyin the divine corpse hangs high, Garden of Eden is separated from Heaven.
Heaven is the final vessel for the soul and the source of energy diffusion.
Jonah sealed the sun, separating Heaven from the Garden of Garden of Eden. After death, the soul could no longer enter Heaven, but instead became the source of energy, spreading outward and causing destruction.
These three beings, the original beings born in the Garden of Eden, were also the true gods of Garden of Eden. They gave their all to stop the expansion of the universe and to prevent the end from coming.
If I, Norton, had not presumptuously released Kuba, or had not used conspiracy to deceive his pure mind, or used the power of flesh and blood to devour him, perhaps even today, Garden of Eden would still exist eternally in this vast universe, and heaven and earth would still be in an undifferentiated form.
Unfortunately, I, Norton, was greedy and self-important. I deceived the gods with trickery, attempting to climb to the highest peak and pursue endless freedom, but in the end, I harmed myself.
Norton sighed softly, deeply moved.
The bloodthirsty killing intent or deep cunning of the past was long gone from his golden eyes, leaving only endless sighs and a sense of disillusionment with the world.
"The universe will eventually die of heat; this is the foundation of God's expansion. Even though I have achieved the status of a god, I am merely a part of God's body, drifting with the tide."
Therefore, Garden of Eden will eventually perish, and all living things will eventually come to an end.
I am destined to be plunged into endless loneliness, or perhaps to eternally return to the universe.
unless..."
Norton sighed deeply and said nothing more.
It's unclear what Biyang was thinking about again, but the humanity that had been building on his face seemed to be slowly fading away, gradually turning indifferent.
Only Abraham, standing on the steps below him, trembled, truly unable to comprehend Norton's words.
However, he felt that this might still be some kind of conspiracy or trickery by His Majesty, a plan laid in advance.
These kinds of people love to tell well-crafted lies with a profound air, because that's the easiest way to deceive others.
Abraham has already been fooled once; would he fall for it again?
Just watch, Abraham could basically foresee it all.
That bastard will probably start reminiscing about the past again, build some so-called Holy City, and then claim he doesn't want power. But in the end, he'll demand everything, and then insist that human greed has angered him!
In reality, they want to restore the old system of slavery to abuse their power and oppress others; in the end, they are all heartless and treacherous.
Abraham had foreseen this!
