Chapter 352: Just manual updates or something, that's still a bit too much

"Why aren't you up yet?"

Su Nian looked with a smile in his eyes at Gabriel, who was lying beside him, curled up inside the quilt to escape reality.

"Heavenly Lord, please don't make fun of me."

A soft, delicate voice came from under the quilt, and a small head with golden hair and a blushing face poked out from within.

Gabriel looked at Su Nian with a hint of resentment; she had clearly prepared herself for a fall.

But as it happened, she hadn't fallen, and how was she supposed to face Michael and the others in the future?

She couldn't very well continue to serve by the Lord's side in an impure state, could she?

"Isn't this you taking the initiative to come and offer your sincerity?"

Su Nian hadn't done anything at all; it was only when he returned to his own room to rest that he discovered an Angel had appeared in his room.

"That's not it at all! It was clearly Azazel who said this was the best way to express sincerity."

Gabriel said with a somewhat evasive gaze; it was quite obvious that Azazel had never said any such thing.

But it had to be said, Azazel, who had fallen due to lust, was a very good target to shift the blame onto.

"Besides, I did it so that the Lord could be resurrected in a better state."

Gabriel's tone gradually became firmer, as if she had found a reason to convince herself.

What conditions were needed for the God to be resurrected? When would the resurrection happen? What would the state of the resurrection be? How long would it take to return to the peak?

These were all things that needed to be guaranteed; everything was for the sake of a better resurrection of the God.

"But have you ever thought about one thing: I am also your Lord?"

Su Nian smiled at the corners of his mouth and said in a teasing tone.

It was just that Gabriel didn't seem to be able to understand Su Nian's meaning very well, and she subconsciously retorted.

"My Lord is only the God."

Su Nian smiled and did not refute; Gabriel would understand sooner or later.

There was a biggest joke in Little Garden, which was that the Only God was not the only one; he was currently the Holy Son in a certain sense, no, in the true sense, he was a part of the Only God.

Although that was only this avatar.

"There is no time like the present; it is also time to go and resurrect the God of the Bible."

Su Nian stretched his body, put away the Mythological Apocrypha in his hand, and said.

Gabriel instantly sobered up; an unexpected surprise had fallen upon her, as she had thought it might be delayed for a few days.

It seemed her "sincerity" was still very useful, it was just a bit too shy.

"I will serve the Heavenly Lord in changing clothes right away!!"

——

Heaven, Gate of Heaven.

Su Nian stopped his steps, looking at the towering gate in front, and also saw those mysterious spell formations hidden beneath the azure sky.

"Is this the Gate of Heaven?"

Su Nian looked in surprise at the gate guarded by numerous Angels in front of him.

This was not the only portal to enter Heaven, but if one wanted to enter quietly without being attacked by the God of the Bible's spell formations, one could only walk through this gate.

And as for how strong the God of the Bible's spell formations were, Su Nian, who had watched them with his own eyes, already had an idea.

At the very least, one had to be at the level of White Snow Princess, the shame of the Five-digit, to pass through unscathed; anyone weaker than White Snow Princess would be shredded on the spot.

In Su Nian's impression, outside of Little Garden, probably only Cain could compare to this level of spell formation.

But in all likelihood, it was still inferior.

"Please, Heavenly Lord, follow me through the small path to enter Heaven."

Gabriel said with some apology.

The path she was going to take Su Nian on was naturally the small path taken when Azazel had previously invaded Heaven.

The starting point of this small path was behind the Gate of Heaven; generally speaking, as long as one could muddle through the Gate of Heaven, with a guide, invading the core of Heaven, the Pure Fire Heaven, was not difficult.

Of course, having said that, this small path was not made by any outsider.

In fact, this path was originally the passage the God of the Bible often used to enter and exit the Gate of Heaven, it was just that only they, the Seraphs who served by the God's side, knew of this path.

If anyone really walked this small path to invade, that would be the one whose brain had truly gone wrong.

Moreover, the main purpose of this small path was for secret travel; some actions that were inconvenient for other small Angels to know about were taken through this small path.

"No need to take the small path; we will walk straight through openly."

Su Nian revealed a playful smile; he naturally understood Gabriel's meaning.

She did not want him to show his face in front of the Angels, and of course, the main reason was to hide the news that the God had already died.

"Heavenly Lord, that won't do. Without the God's order, we cannot enter the Pure Fire Heaven, let alone bring you into the Pure Fire Heaven in front of a crowd of Angels."

Gabriel waved her hands in a panic, her soft, delicate voice revealing her confusion.

"But is there a possibility that I am actually the God as well?"

Su Nian revealed a smile, rubbed Gabriel's head forcefully, and walked straight through the gate.

As everyone knows, the Only God is not the only one; the Holy Spirit, the Holy Father, and the Holy Son are all God.

Soon, under the kowtowing and worship of a crowd of Angels, Su Nian and Gabriel walked openly through the heavy guards of Heaven and arrived at the Pure Fire Heaven, the world that contained a vast ocean, without any effort.

"This ocean?"

Looking at this vast, boundless, pure blue ocean, Su Nian raised his eyebrows slightly; he felt a vigorous life force in this ocean that appeared to have no life.

"We internally call this the Sea of Life; the earliest Angels and the Demon Ancestor were all born from here."

Gabriel, who was behind Su Nian, explained.

"It seems I might be able to save a large sum of money."

Su Nian shrugged his shoulders casually and spoke in a teasing tone.

The life force contained in this ocean is enough to support the birth of three or four Four-digit beings, let alone just replenishing life force and condensing a divine body.

Originally, Su Nian had already prepared heavenly treasures containing massive amounts of high-level life force, as well as many materials for reshaping a divine body.

As it turns out now, he probably wasted his effort.

Gabriel's sincerity was also paid in vain.

Is this what they call "getting something for free"? Su Nian rubbed his chin and smiled; it was quite a novel experience.

Afterwards, on the only island in Pure Fire Heaven, Su Nian landed in front of the palace and looked down to see three figures already waiting there.

Aside from Gabriel, the other three great Angels were all waiting for him here.

At this moment, the Angel Uriel, who had short green hair, spoke up.

"We have already understood the detailed situation."

"However, when the Heavenly Lord enters the system, we hope that Michael and Gabriel can accompany the Heavenly Lord inside."

"Fine, bring the contract over."

Su Nian nodded; he had always maintained a casual attitude toward such trivial matters.

Moreover, these contracts likely had no effect on him anyway; one must know that Devils are masters at manipulating contracts.

And although Algol, as the Demon Ancestor, cannot be called the absolute best in this regard, she is at least proficient.

This is even a contract witnessed by the Central Hub in Little Garden.

Not to mention the contracts of this world, which at most are witnessed by the system created by the God of the Bible.

However, since it could put these Angels at ease, Su Nian didn't mind.

They are future subordinates, after all, so it is necessary to maintain a good relationship.

Seeing that Su Nian had agreed to the conditions, Uriel also breathed a sigh of relief; before coming, she had worried that Su Nian might suddenly lash out, but the other party's kind attitude now made her relax.

In the presence of the four great Angels, the contract was signed, and then Su Nian, accompanied by Michael and Gabriel, arrived inside the palace on the island.

"Is this the system?"

Deep within the palace, in front of an altar, Su Nian looked up at the top of the altar, where the System Core—a crystal that looked like a sun, emitting a soft radiance—was located, though its specific form could not be clearly seen.

"Yes."

Standing behind Su Nian, Michael responded respectfully.

"As you requested, we have brought you before the system; next, please..."

Before Michael could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the System Core above with pleasant surprise.

There, a will was gradually awakening.

When that will emerged, Michael and Gabriel hurriedly retracted their Angel wings, knelt on one knee, and showed joyful expressions.

Su Nian, who was standing at the very front, raised his eyebrows at this moment, his face showing surprise.

"So the God of the Bible isn't dead at all, just hiding in the system?"

Su Nian muttered to himself.

Is there any point in just lingering in the system half-dead? Besides, the will of the God of the Bible is mostly still in a dormant state.

Otherwise, would the system have so many bugs after Michael restarted it? If the God of the Bible had played even a little bit of an AI role, there wouldn't be so many bugs.

Could it be to cultivate those humans who possess Artifacts?

The so-called Artifacts evolve—could it be that the God of the Bible is manually updating them through the system??

Thinking of this, Su Nian's expression became even more bizarre.

Su Nian felt as if he had understood some truth; no wonder there have been so many Artifacts achieving Balance Breaker over the years, and why so many Longinus have appeared.

Can one only say that the God of the Bible is worthy of being the God of the Bible? Is this too much "working oneself to the bone until one's dying day"?

But manual updates and the like are a bit too down-to-earth.

Now, the image of the God of the Bible in Su Nian's mind has changed from a god who is decisive in killing and has great love for humanity into a miserable tech-geek who suddenly discovered his world was in crisis.

And just as Su Nian was muttering in his heart.

A soft voice emanated from the System Core.

"You have worked hard, Michael, Gabriel. However, please withdraw for the time being."

"God~~"

Michael couldn't help but shed tears, weeping with joy.

Gabriel was also emotionally agitated and couldn't help but chant a hymn, expressing repentance for her past doubts.

She could feel that the gentle God of the past had returned.

"You two..."

A voice filled with emotion echoed in the atmosphere.

"We obey your will."

In the end, Gabriel reacted the fastest; she stood up, followed the God's will, and retreated out of the hall.

Michael opened his mouth as if to say something, but finally stood up, too busy to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and after bowing respectfully, he also exited the palace.
