Pivot of the Sky

The means of the angels are naturally more intelligent and subtle than Nietzsche's. The information contained in this staff can only be felt by Joseph. As his realm grows, he will naturally understand when he is able to understand. Because Joseph is not a mortal after all, he is Amon, the Lord of Heaven in rotation.

After the ceremony, Joseph no longer concealed, he told John about his encounter with the scripture elder in the Syrian desert, and the next moon night on the banks of the Geranium River, which gave him Moses' staff. Today's meeting was arguably an ingenious and covert arrangement made by the angels, and Moses secretly led John to the banks of the River Jeddah to baptize the people until Joseph returned to his homeland, where he was also baptized.

Neither Elijah nor tomorrow night or Moses had personally given Joseph the power to wake up, fearing, on the one hand, an unknown influence on Joseph's quest for human proof and, on the other hand, not wanting the Olympus gods to perceive the traces of the spider silk horse. Everything is done naturally in a human way, and that is the safest.

John also reminded Joseph that he was the Messiah in the prophecy, and that it was important to keep it strictly confidential and not to easily propagate the leak to people, otherwise an unexpected disaster might ensue.

And Joseph answered frankly, "It's not a shame, I don't mind keeping it a secret, but I don't go around preaching and telling people. The Messiah is not a title but an achievement that can only be achieved with such a vow and mission. He could be me, he could be you, not who we call ourselves! ”

John sighed, "What you're saying is that my reminders are superfluous. … Can I ask you something, what do you think of me using the ritual of baptism to wake up people who are ready to meet and break the rules of the temple? ”

Joseph laughed: "The priests of the temple held this ritual as a privilege given by the gods, and being able to accept it became a symbol of honour and privilege. But the road was there, it was infinitely wide, and one person walked it without hindering the other. And I'm sure that even if it went public, no one would compete. ”

John pondered and asked, "Won't there be a fight? What do you mean by that? Why are you so confident in making such a decision? ”

Joseph explained with a smile: "Even if it is open and baptized for all who are willing to accept, it is very difficult to awaken the power of the source, and transcending eternity is even more elusive. In the last hundred years, besides the prophet Ilia, have you heard of anyone who, before the end of his life, became an angel and went directly to heaven?

The path beyond eternity is so difficult that not only is it the most diligent cultivation in the world, but it also passes all sorts of difficult tests, and hopes of eventually passing the end are so remote that it is almost impossible for the vast majority of people. It is much easier to have the same wisdom and effort and pay the same amount of effort and price to pursue the world's reputation, status, wealth and beauty!

If the world understands all of this, even if you show him the way, many people will make other choices, which can be wisdom or fear. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

As long as people are willing to let everyone be baptized, the clearer the truth is, the less mysterious and complex it needs to be. God does not need to tempt people to believe with immortality. You should tell people directly that it is much harder to transcend immortality than all other pursuits in the world. People make their own choices with limited life, and only Satan tempts people with desire. ”

With the words of Joseph, the direction of the valley to the east has revealed a slight dawn. John mumbled to himself with his eyes: "God does not need eternal life to entice people to believe, and transcending eternal life is a difficult hope and achievement, not a reward in the temple.” He uttered it over and over and over again, and then prayed again, “Joseph, even if I didn't hear the voice of an angel, I believe you are the Messiah in the prophecy at this moment. ”

After dawn, John resigned to Joseph and led the disciple out of here. His mission has been accomplished, but it is not over, and there are more important things to do.

……

When Joseph came home, he greeted his parents, handed over all the rewards he had accumulated for his work while traveling around the country, and then walked alone into the wilderness to begin a painstaking exercise. He wanted to guide his disciples and baptize people like John, and he had to achieve great achievements first.

He took a boat along the river Jeddah until he reached the southern shore of the inland lake and reached the edge of the Syrian desert. The first step beyond immortality is the "awakening of power”, accompanied by the test of "awakening of desire”. It is not that the lower the qualifications, the more difficult the initial test is, and in many cases the exact opposite is the case, but that many of the later great achievers, when they have just awakened their strength, have been particularly fierce in the initial test.

Joseph was in a gobble, looking southwards to the infinite yellow sand, surrounded by the sun's rays of bare rock, the weather seemed particularly dull, surrounded by no lush trees or even fresh weeds, and occasional roars of beasts from the grasslands in the distance behind him, his heart was also suffering.

When he came here to sit down, he felt particularly hungry, as if he hadn't eaten for many days, but he obviously had just eaten. It's like another fire burning in your body, accompanied by a desire for conflict of sorts.

He closes his eyes and enters meditation, hearing a voice in his soul: “You are the son of Arojo whom the Salem desired, but you will choose a fate that will not be like the emperor of man, and you will not possess gorgeous clothes, magnificent palaces, and flocks of slaves. Why let people down and let themselves down? To be the king that the Saroons expect, you know what they want! ”

Amon growled in his soul: "You are Satan! Don't tempt me! ”

The voice replied with a smile, "Yes, I am Satan, and I am you. The world belongs to me and to you, as does your soul. With just one thought, I can give you everything you want. Don't be afraid of temptations, they are innate, otherwise how do you know trade-offs? ”

Joseph's forehead seeped with fine sweat beads, gasping for breath, and suddenly said slowly: "Seduce me! Let me take this test.” Then the color of the gods gradually calmed down.

……

As Joseph painstakingly repaired between the desert and the grasslands, John led his disciples along the north of the Jeddah River towards the city of Salem, preaching Aroch's faith guides and baptizing people along the way, and more and more of them followed him in the way that Joseph said.

Today's Maroon rulers in the Saroon Plains are pursuing a policy of governing the locals with locals, establishing a governor, leaving behind a small army of law and order, and appointing the locals as tax officers to tax the Maroon Empire, with the inscription of a king of the Saroons, his name being Herod.

The Herod used the name of his father, the man who ordered the search for the newborn baby at the birth of Joseph. At that time, Joseph's parents received Vincent's pointer and fled with Joseph to Ecu to escape a heist.

Herod is not the king of an independent nation, he accepts only the Maronite seal, symbolizing the rule of the Maronite Empire over a local county king, whose status is equivalent to that of a great lord. But in the city of Salem, his life is no different from that of a true king, living in a luxurious palace, under the authority of many of his servants.

Herod thinks he is king of the Saroons, and he will be king, whether under the rule of the Maroon Empire or independently founded by the Saroons. After the death of Augustus the Great of Marrow, the successor was brutal and faint, and control over the remote Saroon plains was diminishing, so that the Saroon people's desire to escape rule was becoming stronger and more powerful, as was the Herod.

Today the inhabitants of the city of Salem are divided into two categories: Salem and Sama. The Salem were the descendants of the tribe that Moses brought home, the miners of the original town of Duke. Their ancestors, who were the owners of the land, were well cared for and respected when they returned to the city of Salem, where they created wealth and passed it on to the later generations by virtue of their hard work and wisdom.

Hundreds of years later, from the first respected for hard work and wisdom, to a class position in reality, many Salem thought they were noble and distinct. Sama, on the other hand, were descendants of cave wildlings, plateau giants and rogue proletarians from all over the continent, whose ancestors built the city after the floods on a swamp of nothing, but now belong to a low-status class.

Those Salem, especially the elders and priests in the temple, who hold power, have always carefully distinguished themselves from ordinary people, especially the Samaritan, and are accustomed to gathering together alone in their robes of traction, claiming to be the voters of God. Aroho and Moses agreed on ten commandments, but later the Elders of Salem made hundreds of rules according to the Book, claiming that God's will was the basis of every word and every action.

In fact, most Salem are not bad people, but the custom of latent migration and acquiescence makes them arrogant and think they are the best race in the world, the most satisfied God.

The preaching of John was not influenced by this. He did not distinguish between the Samaritan and the Samaritan, and explained to the disciple: "To learn to look at oneself, those who are too vaguely arrogant often have nothing to gain, and a sober look at one's heart to recognize God's guidance.” John was followed more and more, and by the time he returned to Salem City, he already had many disciples and a wide range of influences in the folk.
