301 – Third Day (1)
God born from hope,
God created from the beginning,
If that wish is denied, it is destroyed as well.
The moment you deny the origin, the ending is determined.
Unlike humans gathering wishes and being born as gods,
Because the wish itself was born as a myth without any effort or process,
From the moment you are born, you wield divine power with divine status,
The inherent weakness of not being able to do anything about oneself cannot be resolved.
No matter how high the level is,
No matter how many wishes you gather,
Even if you enter the ranks of great gods,
There can be no exceptions.
If you are not faithful to your duty, you cannot live any longer.
Even though I already knew all of this, the reason I didn’t pay any attention to it was because I never once thought that my wish would be denied.
-Longing for the sky.
The boy muttered. He looked at the black sky, not the blue sky, and muttered in a somewhat tired voice. The hope that was his foundation, his oath, came out from his small mouth.
-This is what created me.
On the surface of the moon, where even those closest to me can only be seen after traveling a long distance, I opened my mouth in such a sorrowful tone.
The Three Lords and Oberta, who became gods by gathering the power of human faith, felt a strange feeling that they were eating away at themselves, something they could never understand.
A god born from hope and using that hope as its source has a weakness. If its source is denied, it can no longer exist. It’s just a matter of time, and one day we’ll have to face the end result of extinction.
Death God. A wrong being born from something wrong. The same goes for them. If the resentment, anger, and hatred that gave birth to oneself are denied, they can no longer exist in this world.
People in the world call it Buddhahood, but from the perspective of the Four Gods, it is nothing more than annihilation. Therefore, the Shinigami are unclean beings who have no choice but to take a twisted path. The moment you admit that the path you are taking is the wrong one, its existence is denied and it soon disappears.
-In the end, it is a childish sentiment created by ignorance.
The boy was not a Shinigami, but he also resembled one. If you look at the birth process alone, it was no different from that of the Shinigami.
The difference is that what created him was not a hateful resentment, but a yearning for the sky and the desire of people to explore the sky.
-The moment you become aware of it, you cannot help but feel discouraged, it is a taboo.
Because of the fundamentals, this boy had an endless curiosity about the sky until not long ago. But now, he was discouraged.
Because I found out.
That man is not qualified to stretch his hand towards a higher sky.
-So it would be better not to know.
The fate of discussing the distant stars is not ours.
When he noticed that the sun, which had been sleeping for a long time, was slowly starting to open its eyes, nothing else mattered to this heavenly god. He hoped that what he saw was a lie, but unlike fantasy, this reality did not disappear simply by denying it.
-It would be better to turn your eyes away from the sky and live only looking at the ground.
Born with infinite curiosity about the sky, this god rebelled against his nature of his own will. He didn’t want to see any more. He didn’t want to know any more.
For this god, born from a desire to explore the sky, to utter these words has already gone against the very origin of existence. Just as the Shinigami self-destructs if it loses its origin, if this Heavenly God also loses its reason for existence, he will no longer be able to live. Nevertheless, Aldehir did so.
God, who had already closed his eyes, threw himself into the darkness of space. A being born from a wish denied that wish. So all that awaits is the extinction of existence.
Ah, I was already prepared.
From the moment I saw it in the sun, I couldn’t help but be prepared.
The things in the sky were not something worth yearning for.
It was like that from the beginning.
It might have been better not to know that from the beginning.
So, without responding to your believers,
No revelation was made.
A thousand punishment given in return for violating a taboo and knowing facts that should not be known.
It may seem like extinction to you, but
Humans would not be able to enjoy even that level of blessing.
I would rather not know anything,
Wait until the heavenly beings of the sun become angry,
It would be better for them to face a painless death all at once.
When people on earth decide between right and wrong,
If the ultimate responsibility lies with that sun,
Who can hold the sun responsible?
At best, they will just bite each other and express their fear.
-So, are you going to remain so silent, in such a desolate place, embracing all the truth alone and facing a lonely and lonely extinction?
The crouching boy felt cold. I shivered from the chill that took over my body.
Humans feel cold from physical cold, but to this god born from hope, chill has a somewhat different meaning. This means that the passion and hope that had been burning you all this time have frozen.
I can’t believe that freezing to death like this will be my last. He had to endure the cold like this alone. He couldn’t even blame anyone, since he was the one who decided that this moon would be a graveyard without anyone’s help. So the boy just endured the cold, burying his head in his legs.
This is the back side of the moon. A place where neither the sea nor the land can be seen.
You look everywhere, but all you see are twinkling stars and a sea of darkness.
It is impossible for someone to come and talk to a place like this. So he ignored the voice. He just endured the loneliness of the moment and waited for the end to come.
-Are you really going to disappear like that, destroying your own principles, burning out your passion, and trampling on your hopes?
But the voice was so vivid that the boy immediately opened his eyes and looked around. Nothing has changed. This is an infinite sea of stars. The only things that twinkle are the stars.
Neither on the surface of the moon nor beyond the sky, nothing existed here. Only voices were heard. I wasn’t even sure where the voice was coming from.
Is it coming from inside your own heart or from outside?
If we can’t even know that, how can we know the exact direction? No, did you even think there was such a thing from the beginning?
-You made a decision too early to abuse yourself so much and let yourself fall to the bottom. It was your mission to fulfill the wishes of every human being who reaches out to heaven.
But every time that voice rang out, his cold insides became warm again. Clearly, someone was holding onto the handle of the passing time and postponing his own demise. He forced a god who had already lost his mission and should have disappeared into existence in this reality.
-O master of mission. Reviving that mission is beyond me. All I can do is give you a chance to change your mind. But no matter what you think, it seems like people still need guidance in their quest for heaven.
This is nonsense. There is no way something like this is possible. It directly violates the laws of the universe.
But that was the reality. The mind-dead god was caught in this reality. Of course, this amazing miracle cannot last forever. If he really wants to disappear, all he has to do is crouch down again and wait.
This unknown action probably won’t last forever,
As long as he continues to neglect his mind, he will not be able to overcome the trend in the end.
But I experienced that cold loneliness once. Freezing once again was something I couldn’t bear to do. Unable to do this or that, Cheonshin kept looking in all directions with an anxious expression.
Now the voice was never heard again.
And I no longer felt the warm power that voice brought.
Now, in order to warm yourself, you must rekindle the flame of passion that you extinguished. Only then can extinction be avoided. He still had a chance to do so.
-Longing for the sky.
He closed his eyes and lost himself in his thoughts. He remembered the time when the wishes of those who wanted to reach for a higher sky gathered again and again, finally breaking through the threshold and creating himself.
-This is what created me.
All his thoughts had cooled off and he could not see even an ounce of light, but his longing for the sky still remained in his heart. Because being born is not something that can be easily lost.
-It is definitely better not to know. You will definitely regret it. But…
It’s been a long time since I looked at the sky anymore, especially the sun.
He knew that this action would only accelerate his extinction,
-Even so, I will see the sun for the last time.
But he decided to do it.
Even after knowing this, he decided to do so.
Because that was the reason he existed in this world.
The boy flew away and escaped the dark side of the moon, where the sun was not even visible. I flew until I could see the brightly shining sun with my own eyes.
When he finally saw the sun, Aldehir’s eyes widened.
-This is what happened…!
I just admired, admired, and admired again.
He finally realized that the voice that came to him was in fact nothing short of revelation.
