Just yesterday, the internet was finally restored in Solomon City.
This also means that the three major disasters brought to Solomon City by the rising demon tide: water outage, power outage and Internet outage, have now all been resolved.
On the day the Internet was connected, a netizen from Aquileia came to ask me why God punished him, since he prayed devoutly every day, by making him thirsty, unable to access the Internet, without electricity, and watching the monsters attack his town and hurt his compatriots.
Here, I would like to share a story with you, hoping that believers can understand the meaning:
A long, long time ago, humans walked freely and multiplied on this land, living happily and joyfully.
One day, all the angels gathered before God, and the devils were mixed among them.
God said, "Devil, where do you come from?"
The devil said, "I came from Purgatory."
God said, "Have you passed through the main plane? Have you seen the human beings I created? Do they still love me, respect me, and glorify me?"
The devil said, "Why would humans believe in God for no reason? It's because you protect them and their families, and everything they have. Their happiness is given by you. I bet that if you destroy everything they have, they will immediately curse you in return."
God said, "Of course. You can do it, but if you lose, I will punish you."
After getting God's permission, the devil began to weave a conspiracy. It first released various terrifying supernatural monsters from the plane, allowing them to freely invade humans.
In the blink of an eye, countless people lost their families, loved ones and property.
So at the signal of God, the Archangel Michael came to the world. He found the then Emperor Constantine I and told him how to open factories, how to organize armies, and how to fight against extraordinary monsters.
Under the organization of Emperor Solomon and his officials, believers began to work hard to build city walls, deploy weapons, resist the invasion of supernatural monsters, and beg God for protection day and night.
God said, "Look, even though you brought disaster upon them, they still honor me."
The devil said: "Of course they do. They just follow inertia, just like sheep blindly following their leader. If there is no emperor and empire, will they still believe in you as before?"
God said, "Go ahead and do it, but if you fail, I will punish you."
With God's permission, the devil began to bring disaster to Solomon's empire.
Thus, Emperor Constantine's will was blinded. He disbanded the loyal Solomon's Guards and instead recruited cheaper, unbelieving foreign mercenaries, filling the army with all kinds of evil ideas.
He also expanded the bureaucracy, which was greedy and persecuted the people. Groups of people even abandoned their hometowns and fled to the wilderness to avoid taxes.
So the Solomon Empire gradually declined, but the devil's tricks did not stop there. It cunningly realized that the empire's strong national power came from its advanced science and technology and strong industrial productivity.
