When Jiang Jiao was tied to the altar, he did not beg for mercy or cry.
He stared at the rusty knife and asked something that no one had thought of:
"The nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sacrifices in front of us are all men?"
The priest's hand paused.
With just this sentence, Jiang Miao went from a lamb to be slaughtered to the number one trouble in the Kingdom of God.
He discovered one thing - what God wanted was not ten thousand lives, but ten thousand years of uninterrupted sacrifice. He happened to be the 10,000th.
Before the knife fell, he said: "The God of Harvest died last year. You killed nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people for a dead god."
The whole place was dead silent.
A girl named Qin Xuan cut the rope on his hand.
"I know how God died," she said, "but no one who knows this will survive more than three days."
Jiang Jiao stood up and moved his bloody wrist.
"That's just right."
From this moment on, the Kingdom of God issued a death order against him. Temple gods, wandering gods, false gods—the entire kingdom of God is chasing him.
But Jiang Miao has a card in his hand that the Kingdom of God does not have:
He is a person "outside of cause and effect" and is not bound by any rules of the Kingdom of God.
God rules the world with rules, so he uses rules to kill God.
Killing gods requires no fists.
Requires brains.
Reasoning is required.
We need to find God's true name, God's weaknesses, and God's lies.
This is a battle of wits between mortals and the kingdom of God.
It is also a journey of killing gods about truth, betrayal and choice.
