The boss asked curiously, "What if he wanted to marry more? Mai was trying to cause trouble, and you didn't seem to stop her."
"Then there must be other solutions."
The shadowy figure spoke casually: "There are indeed three major factions at present, but there are also quite a few smaller ones. Throughout history, there have been many factions that have been identified as heretics and disappeared into the annals of history."
Even if he wanted to marry three hundred or three thousand, he could still find a match. The number doesn't matter; only the "Lamb Marriage" itself is certain and necessary.
However, he cannot have more than seven brides.
"Why?" the boss asked, already having the answer in his mind; he just wanted confirmation from the shadowy figure.
"The number 7 signifies the perfection of God, and unlike the number 3, it represents divinity more."
Both 7 and 3 can be considered sacred numbers, but 7 is considered more sacred: God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh, and the Book of Revelation mentions the seven seals, seven trumpets, seven bowls, and the seven-horned, seven-eyed lamb...
The reason the shadowy figure did so much was that it didn't want Gao Kui to become a "seven-horned, seven-eyed lamb".
Or perhaps, Gao Kui should have become the "Seven-Horned, Seven-Eyed Lamb" four years ago, but at the final moment of his ascension to godhood, he was interrupted by the shadowy figure, the boss, and Angers.
Chapter 59 The Glorious King
"A seven-horned, seven-eyed lamb..."
The boss pondered, gazing out the window at the half-set sun where the daylight had faded.
The legendary seven-horned, seven-eyed lamb suddenly appeared in this coastal town of the Eastern country four years ago on a rather turbulent day.
As stated in the Gospel of Matthew, the second coming of the Son will be sudden, and people will face his return unexpectedly without any preparation.
Gao Kui's return caught the boss completely off guard; all the efforts and preparations were almost entirely wiped out. It was like what Churchill said when he learned that the HMS Prince of Wales had been sunk by the Japanese.
So many plans, hopes, and efforts sank to the bottom of the sea with the arrival of Gao Kui.
Fortunately, along with Gao Kui, a dark figure also descended.
If they join forces, they might be able to prevent Gao Kui from becoming a seven-horned, seven-eyed lamb.
Thinking of this, the boss withdrew his gaze and stared at the stunningly beautiful features of the dark figure, whose face was as fair as jade and whose red hair was as beautiful as a flower.
"To be honest, I still find it hard to believe that you would stand... stand against the Son of Advent."
Not only did the boss not expect it, but he believed that no one in the world, no believer, would believe that the shadowy figure would actually try to stop Gao Kui from becoming the seven-horned, seven-eyed lamb.
"Human nature is such that a person's character, beliefs, and views on things will always change with time, place, or the things around them."
One moment they decide what to do, making solemn promises, and the next they suddenly regret it.
The shadowy figure remained expressionless, readily acknowledging the flaws in his own humanity. Yes, I regret it; I broke the promise I made.
so what?
Who in heaven or on earth can judge me?
The boss was surprised that the shadowy figure could be so calm, and remarked with some emotion: "Perhaps the reason you made the decision to change is precisely because that part of your humanity has never changed."
If the shadowy figure's humanity had truly changed, he wouldn't have done something like preventing Gao Kui from ascending to godhood.
"Moreover, I do not believe that I am on the opposite side of him."
The shadowy figure retorted, "Haven't we been good enough to him, to him?"
The Promised Land, milk and honey, more than one beautiful bride, a legendary life full of ups and downs... love, glory, friendship, I have prepared everything for him.
As a person, he can have all the good things in life, and I will give him whatever he wants... Such treatment and such a life are much better than what I had back then, right?
"Wouldn't it be better to live a carefree life on earth, then dust yourself off and return to heaven with your bride, than to be a lifeless, seven-horned, seven-eyed lamb?"
"You shouldn't spread what you're saying."
The boss said jokingly, pointing to his chest, "If I hid a recording pen here and sent your words to the Vatican, the Pope would probably commit suicide out of shame and disbelief tomorrow."
"No, he will feel fortunate."
The shadowy figure sneered: "Throughout history, a large number of church clergy, including Peter, Gregory I, Gregory VII, and successive popes, have been grateful that I prevented Gao Kui from becoming the seven-horned, seven-eyed lamb."
The boss chuckled. Of course, most church leaders didn't want the Son of God to return, because they had revised far too many church doctrines.
They certainly have reason to say that this was for the purpose of proselytizing. However, this is indeed a misinterpretation of Emmanuel's original intention, just as Confucian scholars throughout Chinese history have interpreted Confucius's words according to their own understanding.
In the church, this is an unforgivable sin, many times more serious than suicide.
"anyway."
After laughing, the boss quickly changed the subject: "How's things going with the Second Child?"
"very bad."
The shadowy figure spoke succinctly, waving his hand and distorting the light and shadow to reconstruct the image of Gao Kui killing the heroic spirit, projecting it onto the boss's retina.
The determination to save Chen Motong no matter what...
After giving Longinus to Chen Motong, he became indifferent to Chen Motong's feelings...
And, in the end, what killed the Heroic Spirit was a spiral of air currents composed of seven streams of Yin energy.
"It's really quite bad."
The boss's brows furrowed even more deeply than when he was hesitant earlier. Gao Kui's power as a hybrid was not particularly strong, and his ability to distort reality was no match for him, much less for the shadow.
What he cared more about was Gao Kui's behavior and state during the battle and when he rescued Chen Motong.
"Your power has been restrained and not fully utilized, but your divine nature in your actions and mindset is simply off the charts."
If Gao Kui had been preaching in Jerusalem more than two thousand years ago, upon learning of Judas's betrayal, he would probably have taken a hammer and nails and nailed Judas to the cross.
“After all, he is a glorious monarch, not a mediator between gods and men; this style of doing things is a true reflection of his nature.” The shadowy figure also frowned.
The boss understood what the shadowy figure was saying.
Gao Kui is indeed a holy son, the real deal. But not all holy sons are the same, just as the holy son and the holy father are both gods, but their "nature" and their style of doing things are completely different.
Immanuel, who bore the cross two thousand years ago to bear all the sins of mankind, was the "Mediator between God and Man." He possessed both perfect humanity and perfect divinity, but the former was manifested far more outwardly than the latter.
Two thousand years later, at a time when no one could have predicted, Gao Kui returned as the "Glorious King," possessing both complete humanity and complete divinity, but in the exact opposite proportions to the former.
The former is the latter, and the latter is the former. Whether it is Emmanuel two thousand years ago or Gao Kui two thousand years later, there is no difference. They are both the Son of God in the Trinity, just as the Son and the Father are one.
He is an existence that transcends time, logic, and everything else.
However, if we insist on making a distinction based on time within the realm of human simplistic logic, then the two comings of the Son are different, just as the Son is different from the Father.
The missions to be performed by the Mediator between God and Man and the King of Glory are different, and the manifestation of humanity and divinity during the two comings of the Holy Son will naturally differ.
Including God the Father Jehovah, they certainly love humanity; God loves the world. But their ways of loving the world are indeed different.
Gao Kui's divinity overwhelmingly outweighs his humanity; his love, his salvation, and his inner self are naturally more like the Holy Father Jehovah than Emmanuel, who willingly bore the cross to atone for the sins of the world two thousand years ago.
"Divinity" within the realm of human logic refers to the same or similar character and power as the Father.
“It’s okay, we have plenty of time and opportunities. Our script is excellent, and the brides-to-be are all good girls.”
Just because Chen Motong and Xia Mi couldn't do it doesn't mean other brides-to-be can't. And just because they couldn't doesn't mean all brides-to-be can't.
If all prospective brides can't do it, then write an even better script, and give him a better girl and a better life.
Even if only once, as long as his humanity can overcome his divinity, he will never again become the seven-horned, seven-eyed lamb he once was.
Everything will end differently.
"That's all it can do."
The shadowy figure and the boss could only place their hopes on a future that even he couldn't foresee, believing that everything would turn around; otherwise, everything would be led back to its original end.
Because everything is decided by God, what the mediator between God and man should do, and what the glorious king should do.
Even if they forcibly interrupt Gao Kui's ascension to godhood, Gao Kui will still inevitably ascend to godhood at some point and become a glorious king, a seven-horned, seven-eyed lamb. This is the inevitability of divine will.
Unless Gao Kui decides to abandon his original mission after ascending to godhood: only God can overthrow God, and only God himself can change God's will.
Chapter 60 The hero appears
“Annie Are You OK?”
Will You Tell Us That You'reOk
There's a sign in the window.
......"
As dawn finally faded and the long night began to break, the neon lights of this seaside town were gradually awakened.
Gao Kui, completely absorbed in singing Michael Jackson's "Criminal Master," danced out of the alleyway with unknown steps, his arms laden with Metersbonwe shopping bags.
Like a performance artist who is misunderstood, he was frequently stared at by passersby at the entrance of the alley.
"You danced really well. If you changed into a white suit and white top hat, you would look even more like MJ in the 'Criminal Master' MV. It's just that your singing wasn't very good. You are still far from being MJ. Next time, I suggest you use a subwoofer for accompaniment."
Chen Motong, also carrying a large number of shopping bags, followed Gao Kui out of the alley. She applauded Gao Kui's impulsive dance moves and asked, "By the way, why did you suddenly want to dance?"
Haven't you seen the Heilan Home ads?
The people in the ads are all dancing and gesturing while shopping at Heilan Home, it's so energetic! We just bought so many clothes for free, how can we not dance along?
Sigh, I wish there was another Nibelungen-like store someday. I visit Heilan Home twice a year, and each time I discover something new. I still haven't found a winter outfit…
It's summer now, so clothing stores naturally only have summer clothes, and at most a few late spring or early autumn styles.
"The dance in the Heilan Home ad is Latin dance, but you're not dancing Latin."
"We didn't go to Heilan Home."
The young men and women, who had just come out of Nibelungen, chatted lightly, showing no trace of the tension they had felt when they were surrounded by the Deadpools.
"Betray my love, you have a guilty conscience..."
The sudden and forceful insertion of "Love Transaction" disrupted Gao Kui's already mediocre singing, causing him to fall apart and even mess up his rhythmic dance moves.
Gao Kui stopped dancing and took out his phone. It was a call from Professor Guderian. There were several missed calls from Guderian before this.
"Is that Professor Guderian?" Chen Motong then remembered that they still had important business to attend to.
"Ah."
Gao Kui nodded and answered the phone.
