I Am God!

The elevator tilted suddenly and scraped violently along the wall.

"Boom."

"Bah, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang."

Amidst a burst of sparks and smoke, Sasi floated in the air and flew out holding Sanna's collar.

This is the 907th floor of the Tower of Babel, and judging from this sudden unexpected situation, it is obvious that this is not the target place that Sasi and the others want to reach.

Sasi took out a map manual, put his hand on the short pillar beside him and operated it according to the instructions on the elevator in the manual. It seemed that he wanted to reactivate the elevator, but except for the spar on the short pillar, it lit up. It was bright again, but the elevator itself didn't respond at all.

Sasi shook her head: "It's broken."

Sanna squatted and looked at the complicated patterns on the elevator: "Such a powerful thing can be broken in such a simple way?"

Sasi nodded: "The more sophisticated something is, the easier it is to break, let alone that it was built nearly ten thousand years ago."

On the contrary, those props refined by ancient methods, which have no ritual arrays, no inlay combination technology, no magic crystals, and are the simplest or have no structure at all, can be preserved because of the characteristics of divine blood, unless they are destroyed by powerful external forces.

Sanna found that the intense friction did not leave any traces on the surface of the elevator body: "This thing is so hard!"

Sasi told Sanna: "Because it is made of purified magic gold."

Sanna's curious baby attribute was triggered: "What is magic gold?"

Sasi thought for a while: "The full name seems to be Demon Abyss Gold or something. I forgot a little bit, but no one can make it now."

Sanna: "Why?"

Sasi: "Because it was also made by the gods of the past."

Sanna thought of the pictures she saw in the video camera again, feeling extremely lost and regretful.

They once had so many things and the whole world, but in the end they lost it all.

Sasi was about to leave, and Sanna pointed to the gap exposed under the elevator: "Can we go down directly from here?"

Sasi: "No."

Sanna: "Why?"

Sasi: "Because there are barriers between layers."

While Sasi answered Sanna's question briefly, she picked up the dream broadcaster and listened to the broadcast coming from the dream channel. After a few clicks, the sound came clearly.

"Judge Sasi!"

"A movement that may be a spiritual prayer meeting has been detected, below the 900th floor."

"About between the 879th and 80th floors, they seemed to be moving down one floor at a time, and at the same time, it was detected that the population of the strata they passed was disappearing in large numbers."

"You have to find them immediately."

Sasi put down the announcer and said to Sanna: "Let's go to the center of the city."

Sanna followed behind Sasi: "Are we going to go on?"

Sasi said: "In addition to the spiral staircase where there is no barrier, there is another place where there is no barrier, and it can be faster there."

Sanna asked: "Where?"

Sassi: “Origin Mountain Falls, where a network of water channels connects the upper and lower levels!”

Sanna tilted her head and asked Sassy: "But we can't survive in the water."

Sasi: "There should be a special magic crystal submarine and a maintenance pipeline at the waterfall. Although it is abandoned now, it should still be in use, and I happen to have permission to use it."

The two of them were flying and stopping all the way. Sasi was flying very fast, and Winged Man really had an advantage in this aspect.

Passing between the densely packed high-rise buildings, passing through the area gates separated by layers.

The gates to some areas were closed for unknown ages and are now completely unopenable. They can only go around in a circle.

Sasi was not willing to directly destroy the city because of his passage, even if there was no one here anymore.

Finally, they flew to the center of the city.

When the two people landed, they saw a huge waterfall in the distance flowing down into a lake, and then flowing along the canal to the entire city.

Even though there are almost no people left in the city, it is still circulating endlessly.

"Boom boom boom~"

The sound of waterfalls in the distance kept coming.

You can even see the water and moisture splashed out by it in the air, shining with a slight silver light under the light.

Sasi and Sanna started walking towards the direction of the waterfall.

Sanna didn't see that Sasi's expression at this moment was like a pilgrim.

She just walked along the edge of the channel, listened to the sound of water flow, and lay down to look at the depths of the stone-carved channel, which was covered with various moss and aquatic plants, and there were also a small number of fish swimming faintly.

She caught a bug and later let it go.

Walking along the channel, we came to the lake. Sasi pointed to the stone wall where the waterfall was attached in the distance and stared deeply.

"This is the mountain of the origin of life mentioned in your book."

Sanna also saw the waterfall when she was on the upper level, but she didn't pay much attention to what was behind the waterfall.

"Is this a mountain? I thought it was just a wall or a huge pillar."

Sasi: "Legend has it that this is where we were born."

Sasi said: "The original Tower of Babel was built by the Mother of All Snakes to welcome the arrival of the master god who created all life. It is said that the great master god traveled between the two worlds here."

Sassy knows some secrets about the mountain, but the more she learns, the more sad and painful she becomes.

It's as if those who know the glory of the past can no longer accept this barren and barren world.

"When the era began, we walked out of here, and when everything was about to end, we came back here."

"When it all began, the Lord of Life came from the world of the gods to the Tower of Babel and the mountain of the origin of life."

"Finally, we will leave this world from here."

"Or die here."

"This is our cradle and our tomb."

Sanna didn't feel too sad after hearing this.

She opened her mouth wide and seemed to like what Sasi said.

"It turns out that we were born from here. No wonder it is called the mountain of the origin of life!"

"We came from here and finally died here."

She repeated Sassi's words: "This is our cradle and our tomb."

Then she said happily: "Do you feel a little romantic?"

Sassy turned to look at Sanna: "Romantic?"

The sky uses a beautiful and genderless face to say slightly sad words: "All life is about to perish, and this may include people like you who cannot leave until the end."

Sanna flapped her little wings slightly. She stood in front of the lake and looked at the fluorescent waterfall and the "pillar" with no visible edges.

"But, it still feels a bit romantic!"

"If everything is inevitable, why can't we choose a romantic ending?"

Sanna said: "It's a pity that my parents don't know this story, otherwise they would think that their own death is very romantic!"

She hopes to go to the world of the gods because there are many people there, it is lively and she is not lonely.

However, she is not very afraid of death.

Perhaps this is also the indifference of people living in this era towards life and death!

Only by seeing beauty and hope in decline can we survive in such a decadent and desperate world.

Sanna cheered, forming a trumpet shape with her hands and shouting towards the waterfall and the mountain.

"Hello!"

“The Mountain of Origin of Life.”

"We are back, do you still recognize us?"

The echo echoed back from the distance, surrounding a part of the column of the Mountain of Origin of Life, and then spread to the distance of the silent city.

"Back... back... back..."

"Do you still recognize us...do you recognize us...recognize us..."

Sanna put a hand to her ear, listening to the echo and looking at Sassy.

When the reply came, Sanna said happily.

"listen!"

"It said it recognized us."

The slightly arrogant and indifferent sky angel seemed to be moved by this optimism about life.

Sasi and Sanna stood in front of the fluorescent waterfall, as if they were standing on the flowing Milky Way.

But those two lonely shadows are more eye-catching than the Milky Way in such a world.

We look forward to living a good life.

Or.

The death of romance.

——

There were regular cracks in the wall that could not be seen.

Sasi chanted a spell to control the ritual and opened a wall three to four meters high.

The wall lit up with fluorescence, reflecting a prop made of magic gold, which was a magic crystal submarine that looked like a fish.

Sanna raised her head and could see the scene inside through the glass cover.

She stood up on tiptoe curiously.

Sasi went directly to open the door to check such a prop. He first checked whether it could be activated.

Then I checked the magic crystal interface on it, and also checked the spare magic crystal on my body, and determined that it should be almost enough.

Finally, he closed the wall again.

Sanna was looking forward to being able to sit on it: "Aren't you going to set off?"

Sasi said: "It's getting dark, let's take a rest for the night!"

The two people found a place to rest, which was on the side of the giant pillar.

There is a large dark hole not far away, which is the entrance to the spiral staircase leading to the next level.

In another area, on the other side of the giant pillar, there is a large hole, which is the spiral entrance to the upper level. Originally, these entrances and exits were guarded, but now they are gone.

Sanna and Sasi lit a fire, took out a blanket and spread it on the ground, preparing to grill a fish caught from the ditch.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the big hole.

It seemed like someone was pushing something, and there was a sound of gasping.

Finally, a vague shadow gradually approached the cave entrance.

Someone came up through the spiral staircase from the next floor. The person dragged a trolley and fell directly to the ground as soon as he came out.

"Ah, finally here."

"I feel like the world is spinning, and I feel like I'm being swallowed by a spiral."

The man also saw the fire outside, as well as Sasi and Sanna, a combination of a sky angel and a winged child.

At first, the snake man just sat cross-legged next to his trailer and found some food from the trailer. Then he saw the fire made by Sasi and the others, so he ran over and asked them.

"Can I borrow the fire?"

Sasi did not refuse, and the snake man sat aside to make a fire and heated his own food.

Sanna looked at the snake man and asked him suddenly.

"Which floor are you going to?"

Snake Man: "I want to go to the top, and go up layer by layer."

Sanna said doubtfully: "How is this possible? You will never get there in your lifetime!"

The male snake man also laughed together: "Take your time!"

Sanna scratched her head: "If you really want to go to the top, why don't you take a shortcut?"

Just like Sanna, she wanted to go one or two hundred floors below, and the first thing she thought about was the elevator mentioned in the book. Although she found it, she couldn't open it.

The snake man said: "Because there is something to do on every floor I pass."

The snake man saw the book Sanna was reading and suddenly spoke.

"What if you want to go downstairs?"

Sasi's eyes changed slightly: "How did you know we were going down?"

The snake man pointed at the book in Sanna's hand: "This child must have known that the Spiritual Prayer Meeting opened the door to the world of gods, so he went to the lower level to look for the Spiritual Prayer Meeting, right?"

By this time his food was hot and he immediately reached for it.

The snake man was eating some hot food while talking.

"Hoo ho!"

"If you want to go down, prepare more food."

"Because there is no one on the next floor, and there is no one on the entire 20-odd floors below."

"However, we have set up some material storage points on each floor, which are prepared for those who go to the lower floors to find spiritual prayer meetings."

He held the food in his mouth and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"This is where supplies are stored and marked, usually near the spiral staircase."

"But I hope you will not use those supplies unless absolutely necessary. If you find other supplies, you can store them in the same way to facilitate the next batch of people who go to the lower levels to find the spiritual meeting."

The snake man seemed to make no secret of the fact that he was a member of the Spiritual Prayer Society, even in front of Sasi, the angel in the sky.

Sasi suddenly took action: "Detect evil!"

The magic of detecting evil is constantly adjusted according to the precepts, and the conditions for identifying evil are also constantly changing.

For example, whether you have killed anyone, whether you have committed other evil deeds, blood sacrifices, corruption, being contaminated by evil gods or some kind of crazy power, etc.

But the magic didn't work at this moment.

The light swept over and reflected on the snake man's face, but it quickly disappeared. It seemed that the man in front of him had not done anything evil.

Sasi was stunned, and he slowly put down his hand: "Are you really a member of the Spiritual Prayer Society? How long have you been a member?"

The snake man said, "Of course, I joined the prayer meeting ten years ago."

Sassi asked him very sternly: "What are you doing, how did you open the door to the world of the gods, and why did the people from the lower classes disappear?"

Facing Sassi who was exerting coercion on him, the snake man did not show any fear, but just said with a smile.

"We are trying to save all those who cannot go to the world of the gods, Angel Holy Spirit."

"The 10,000-year deadline is coming soon, and the end of the world is coming, you should know it too!"

"It may be decades, it may be one or two hundred years."

"But it should be between our generations."

He said: "You have done everything that should be done and can be done, but you still can't do your best after all."

"In this case, let us do better instead of you!"

The snake man finished eating in a few bites, then wiped his mouth and continued.

"The prayer meeting is walking to the lowest level step by step, and every time it passes, everyone will be sent to the world of gods."

"I am now one of the members sent out by the Spiritual Prayer Association. I am responsible for going to the upper levels to inform everyone of the existence of the Spiritual Prayer Association, and guiding them to the lower levels to find the Spiritual Prayer Association."

"Because we're taking everyone away."

Sasi's eyes moved slightly, and it turned out that just as the upper-level temple said, the spiritual gathering was going down one level at a time.

Because they want to take away everyone from the lower level, or in Sasi's eyes, sacrifice them.

Sasi said: "Impossible, how can ordinary people go to the world of gods? Those who disappeared must have been sacrificed by you or turned into evil spirits."

The snake man asked back: "If we sacrificed others, why can't your magic of detecting evil work?"

"Maybe you weren't involved at the time," Sassi said.

The snake man shook his head and said with great certainty: "No, I was there at the time, and I watched everyone step into the door to the world of gods and enter another world."

Sasi really wanted to know how the spiritual meeting opened the door to the world of gods. He asked: "What method did you use?"

The Snake Man is not a senior member of the Spiritual Prayer Association. He just said: "The elders of the Spiritual Prayer Association have found a special place that can accommodate our existence. They are a group of ordinary people, and they are also the first batch of people to enter it."

Sasi still didn't believe it: "It's impossible for ordinary people to transform into forms without any hidden dangers, let alone survive and thrive in the dream world."

The snake man said: "Then go and have a look. After you see it, you will believe it."

Sasi said: "Of course, I will definitely go and see it."

Sassy was confused. Logically, he should get rid of the member of the spiritual society in front of him, but detecting evil did not work, which made him unable to do anything.

He was also worried that he might be judging a person without sin.

The atmosphere became a little weird.

A sky angel who judges sins, a child looking for the Spiritual Society, and someone who may be a member of the evil group Spiritual Society gather together.

Sanna just looked at the snake man again and again at first, but then she couldn't help but speak.

She excitedly kept asking the snake man about the spiritual meeting, and the snake man also told Sanna everything he knew and saw.

Sanna: "Did everyone really go to the world of gods?"

Snake Man: "Of course, in fact, the Spiritual Prayer Society opened the door to the world of gods a long time ago, but it has only recently begun to transfer people into that world in large numbers."

Sanna: "Why start now?"

Snake Man: "Because the end is coming."

Sanna: "I still don't understand, why can't it be done earlier? Then wouldn't more people enter the world of the gods?"

The snake man said calmly: "Because the place the elders found cannot accommodate too many people, and we will eventually transform into three-eyed spirits, because only this kind of life form is truly suitable for living in the world of gods. In advance There’s no point in going to that world, that’s the world of spirits.”

"Sanna, we will eventually perish, with this body created and given to us by the master god."

"It's just that we don't want everyone to perish under the doomsday like this. We hope to find a place to give everyone who can't transform into a third eye a little more time, so that everything can reach the end naturally."

Sanna understood what the snake man meant: "Because the end of the world has come, that's why the prayer meeting found a place for everyone, right?"

Snake Man: "Yes."

Sanna asked: "Is it lively there? Is there any delicious food?"

The snake man said: "It was very lively there, and everyone else was there; and there were all kinds of wonderful things piled up in that place, and there was plenty of food."

Sanna began to have sweet dreams. Children like her like to dream the most.

Sasi snorted coldly. He didn't believe the other party's nonsense even more.

The snake man didn't care, he was still "bewitching" Sanna diligently in front of Sasi.

Sasi asked him: "It's so nice there. Why don't you go there? Instead, you have to go to the upper level alone. This is the same as being exiled!"

The snake man did not answer directly, but looked at the city outside.

"It's not an exile, it's my own choice."

"Angel Holy Spirit!"

"Actually, sometimes I wonder, is the existence of gods really a good thing?"

"Because gods pursue eternity, civilization pursues eternity, races pursue eternity, and even we hope to continue forever."

"So we all pursue eternity."

"But maybe there are some things that should end at the right time?"

"It never ends, and it is really painful to support and continue it hard!"

Sasi didn't know how to answer this topic, and didn't really like it.

But the snake man's words did not stop there, but suddenly changed direction.

His pupils looked at the bonfire, flickering with flames.

"but."

“When it’s really time to die, I still want to continue.”

"Even to survive at all costs."

"Even if we are not afraid of death, we still hope that other people can survive and that our civilization can survive."

"Life is as contradictory as a spiral!"

The snake man grinned and laughed, in this dark world, in front of the bonfire.

"I am such a contradictory person. On the one hand, I hope that everything will end like this, but on the other hand, I hope that other people can live, live well, and continue our civilization."

"Even if everything is so difficult, even if we can no longer find the direction and ourselves we came from."

As the snake man spoke, his eyes were so empty that he seemed to have lost everything.

There was still a smile on his face, and he said in a vague and subtle voice: "But I still hope that they can choose to continue."

He asked: "Angel, can people like me be considered sinful and ugly?"

Sasi listened to the other party's words without giving an answer. In the silence, Sanna beside her made a sound of sleep.

Sasi turned his head and glanced at the child who looked a little careless. He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and slowly covered the child with a blanket.

The snake man on the side also returned to his trailer.

Sasi lay on the ground and looked at the rock slabs high up. She became more concerned about the spiritual prayer meeting and was even more impatient to find it.

So is it really a place like what the snake people say it is?

Or is it an evil group that has deceived everyone?

If it was the latter, he would destroy it mercilessly.

Early the next morning, the snake man set off again.

Sasi looked at the snake man packing his things and said, "Do you want to go to the 1,500th floor alone?"

That was the top of the entire Tower of Babel, where Sasi first came down: "This is impossible."

The snake man said: "It doesn't matter, I can spend my whole life going up."

“I would go through level after level along the way and tell the people who lived there.”

"Hope does not lie at the top. There are still people waiting for them at the bottom. There are still people who have not given up on anyone."

The snake man dragged the trailer away and disappeared by the ditch in the distance under the light.

The horn on the trailer sounded, and the sound spread into the distance.

"Nearly ten thousand years ago, the five-color dragon god and the king of angels came here..."

It's exactly what's in that booklet.

Tell everyone about their past and where they came from, tell everyone why they live here.

——

On the source lake where the canals converge, a strange and sophisticated mechanical creation floats wobbly on the surface of the water.

Sassi and Sanna sat in the submarine. With Sassi's control, the submarine began to sink a little bit, and finally sank to the bottom of the lake.

Sanna stuck to the glass wall and looked at the plants in the water, making a surprised sound.

"It's so awesome!"

"It's really underwater, is this also made by the alchemist?"

Sassi ignored Sanna who was running back and forth, just looking for something on the console.

Finally, he pushed down a wrench.

Then there was a slight vibration throughout the magic crystal submarine, and there were waves in the water.

"Buzz!"

The propeller made of magic gold began to rotate. Only such extraordinary metal can last for thousands of years without rust and still run.

The magic crystal submarine went deep along the bottom of the lake, heading towards the huge pipe leading to the lower level.
