World Version Updates-Chapter 543 - 331: Heaven and God!_3
He raised his head, casting his gaze towards the sky, at the pure white giant city that was also engulfed in endless darkness.
At that moment, a grand sound, as if containing the mysteries of the universe's inception, clearly transmitted from the pitch-black pure white city, resonating throughout the darkened Soul World:
"God said: Let there be light!"
In an instant, the concept of light that was forcibly deprived was returned to the world like a tide.
The extinguished pure white sun was relit, radiating an even more brilliant and dazzling light than before.
The myriad things in the world, mountains and rivers, grasslands and forests, Floating Islands, and billions of living beings, all regained their original colors and vitality under the illumination of this light.
In the Soul World, billions of souls of various forms, after experiencing the brief darkness and silence, devoutly knelt on the ground, chanting words of praise, extolling the divine scene before them, their faces filled with fanatical reverence.
However, Lu Yan's brow furrowed even tighter at this moment.
To the ordinary souls, the scene that just occurred might appear grand and holy, filled with indescribable shock.
But in Lu Yan's eyes, it seemed like a poorly staged drama, full of deliberate performance traces.
That feeling was like a clumsy magician trying to deceive an ignorant crowd with crude tricks.
"Why does this feel so familiar?" Lu Yan pondered inwardly, always feeling that everything happening seemed to have been heard somewhere.
Just as Lu Yan was filled with doubt, an old soul that appeared somewhat stooped slowly rose from the ground as the light returned.
His eyes gleamed with a fervor and reverence even more intense than others, muttering to himself:
"Praise my Lord! Just ninety-nine more years, until I have completed the great task of restoring the world, and on the day the world restarts, I too can ascend like those noble Angels to the supreme Heaven City."
"If I am fortunate enough to bathe in the legendary Pool of Rebirth, washing away the sins and dust of this life, perhaps in the future, I could also become a true Angel, following the all-powerful Lord, stepping alongside Him into that eternal and immortal realm!"
The fervent and hopeful words from the old soul's mouth struck Lu Yan's Sea of Consciousness like thunder from the ninth heaven, leaving him momentarily stunned.
He suddenly extended his right hand, disregarding the spatial distance, directly grabbing the old soul, who was still muttering, as if seizing a chick, and solemnly asked, "Tell me! What is the name of this Soul World?"
The old soul, caught by Lu Yan, seemed to fall into a shutdown state, his muddled eyes becoming blank.
After a long time, he responded in a mechanical tone, almost dreamlike and devoid of emotional fluctuation, "Heaven."
"Heaven?"
Receiving this long-desired answer, Lu Yan's face instantly displayed a long-awaited joy.
A feeling of clearing clouds to see the blue sky filled his entire mind and spirit.
"So that's it, that's how it is! The answer was right before my eyes, and I just subconsciously ignored it." He couldn't help but laugh aloud to the sky, the laughter filled with relief and realization.
"Intelligent God? Soul World?"
"I should have realized earlier, the root cause of all chaos and strife in the Cyberpunk version wasn't any Intelligent God."
"It was the Lord of All Heavens, the Lord of All Armies, the Omniscient and Omnipotent One — God!"
