Chapter 787 Child, move forward!
[On a still and quiet night, this game-changer arrived alone before the altar of faith at his place of cultivation.]
He began a deeply devout prayer and lamentation before the idol of the true God he had worshipped for thousands of years.
He recounted his millennia-long devotion and devotion.
At the same time, she poured out all her torment and confusion of the past few days without reservation.
He knew in his heart that it was incredibly selfish to throw this difficult choice and this uncertainty about the future to the supreme God he believed in.
[I am causing trouble for God and testing my faith.]
But he was truly at his wit's end, and couldn't find any solution.
He firmly believed that the true God he worshipped was supreme and omnipotent, capable of seeing through his inner pain, showing him the way forward, and resolving the seemingly unsolvable dilemma he faced.
Just as he finished pouring out his heart, tears streaming down his face, all the pain and confusion he had felt during this time, the entire altar instantly blazed with divine light, and boundless, pure, and gentle divine power of faith swept in all directions.
The statue, which had stood quietly, suddenly exuded an aura of boundless majesty yet unparalleled gentleness.
The next moment, the true god he believed in, transcending endless time and space, personally descended.
[A gentle yet undeniable divine power, like the warm sun melting ice and snow in spring, softly enveloped his curled-up body.]
The spine, previously hunched over from extreme inner anguish, slowly straightened under the nourishment of divine power, and the tense limbs gradually regained their strength.
[His body, which had felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, was now being gently supported by a soft force, allowing him to slowly stand up.]
His hands, hanging by his sides, trembled slightly; the coldness of the ground from his earlier prostrations lingered at his fingertips. Yet, his heart felt as if it were enveloped in a warm fire, dispelling the long-held confusion and despair.
He raised his head, his gaze passing through the hazy light to meet the figure standing before him.
The figure's appearance is indistinct and sacred, lacking a specific outline, yet one can clearly feel its gentleness and compassion that transcends all worldly concerns, as if all suffering and injustice in the world can find solace under its gaze.
He opened his mouth, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't utter a sound. A thousand words were stuck in his chest, and in the end, they only turned into a line of hot tears, which slid down his cheek, hit the ground, and spread out in a small, damp patch.
[The god seemed to sense the turmoil in his heart. Without uttering a word, a gentle divine power seeped into his mind, like a silent spring rain, softly smoothing the wrinkles in his heart.]
The pain, struggles, and confusion that had been building up in my heart for so long surfaced under the touch of divine power, but they were no longer as sharp and piercing as before.
He endured loneliness and suffering in pursuit of his faith.
He once poured all his energy into cultivating in order to get closer to the footsteps of a god, but he was on the verge of collapse time and time again when faced with bottlenecks.
Faced with all this, God's voice, like a resounding bell yet imbued with ultimate gentleness, echoed clearly deep within his mind, resolving all his confusion and pain.
Don't dwell on past gains and losses, and don't let the indifference of others control you.
The voice of God was not condescending at all; rather, it was like that of a close friend walking alongside you.
Your suffering stems from treating faith as a constraint, forgetting that the essence of faith is never dependence, but rather support.
He stood there, stunned, the words of God echoing repeatedly in his mind, and the fog in his heart gradually dissipated.
Yes, over the years, he has made faith in God his sole obsession, forgetting that he himself is the subject of the faith, forgetting that God gave him life and power not to make him a puppet dependent on God.
The god's figure swayed slightly, and the gentle divine power grew stronger, enveloping his entire body and giving him boundless strength and courage.
Go! The voice of God rang out again, carrying the deepest expectations for the believers.
Go pursue your own future, explore your own path, and become a stronger, more enduring being.
Do not let my brilliance overshadow your own path; you must forge your own way step by step.
Your future is something you should create yourself.
Faith is never a shackle, but a guiding light to strengthen yourself when you are lost.
[God's words were like a sudden awakening, instantly illuminating his confusion.]
It will guide you when you are lost.
It will support you when you're on the verge of collapse.
But you must remember that the core of faith lies in your own heart, not in any external dependence.
[He paused, and God's tone became more resolute yet gentler—a pure expression of concern for the believer.]
If one day in the future, I become a shackle preventing you from moving towards a brighter and better future.
If my existence hinders your progress, then I believe this faith is unnecessary.
Keep moving forward with confidence!
Whatever choice you make, I will not blame you.
I watched you grow up, I watched you mature; you're like my own child. How could I blame my own child?
[Furthermore, isn't it perfectly normal for children to pursue a more hopeful future, seek greater power, and aspire to an eternal state of being as long as heaven and earth?]
Keep moving forward!
Charge towards the true God!
I hope that one day in the future, you will stand beside me, and we will fight side by side!
These words exploded in his mind like a thunderclap, shaking him to his core and filling his eyes with disbelief.
He could hardly believe his ears, repeatedly pondering the words, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
He had imagined countless times what he would do if his faith conflicted with his future, if God asked him to sacrifice his future to uphold his faith.
Even if he is in pain, he might choose to obey, because in his heart, God is everything.
But he never imagined that God would say such a thing.
[God actually allowed him to give up his faith, just so he could have a better future.]
The next moment, God's voice came again, carrying an undeniable firmness and gentleness.
My child, I will not stop you from doing anything, nor will I ask you to give up your future.
Instead, I hope you pursue your future, break through your limitations, and become whatever you want to be. (End of Chapter)
