Satan’s identity is actually quite special—he was originally one of the six-winged angels of God, assigned by God to lead the temptation of humanity. God believed that humans would withstand such temptation, since in the first five days, God created the heavens and the earth, and in the sixth day, God created humanity and entrusted them with stewardship, providing them with favorable conditions for life. People would remember God’s grace and His word. Yet, they could not endure the simple words of the serpent: “You will not surely die.” As a result, humanity was condemned and became servants of sin. If God had not created the serpent, there would have been no one to lead humanity into sin, and people would have been able to behold the true face of God. “My Lord! My God!” Highlight observed the somewhat humble expression on God’s face, recognizing that though God was the unique, true God of the entire universe, He was not always wiser than himself—indeed, He sometimes hesitated, even faltered—particularly in the creation of the serpent and humanity, where He felt it was a misstep.
The Bible speaks of how, after humanity sinned, generations have since engaged in various evil deeds—worshipping idols, practicing sorcery, drinking wine, hosting lavish feasts, harboring envy, engaging in disputes, forming factions... violence has filled the earth, and thus, God regrets having created humanity. God is now in remorse.
Hao Liang addressed the Lord and said, "Lord, truly, there is no need for us to feel guilty! It was not wrong to create humanity, nor was it wrong to create the serpent. The real mistake—was not in God, but in us, in humanity itself!"
Hao Liang's words truly revealed the essence of the matter.
Ying'er could not have imagined that her perfect husband had such a profound understanding of the Bible. Indeed, it cannot be entirely blamed on Satan's temptation. If Adam and Eve had firmly believed God's words, and refused the serpent's temptation—had not eaten the fruit of good and evil from the Garden of Eden—then humanity would have continued to dwell in the true paradise, free from suffering in this world. Due to humanity's inability to withstand the serpent's allure, being cast out of the Garden, the grace of God has since been lost.
Men labor tirelessly in the fields all year round, never resting, yet still barely make ends meet. Women endure the severe pains of pregnancy and are especially afraid of snakes. Human lifespans have shortened—once measured in ten thousand years, now barely reaching a hundred. On average, people in the Chinese realm now live to be seventy or so.
Yahweh pondered deeply over Ha-lu's response, truly astonished that Ha-lu would be so open-hearted, recognizing the unremovable shortcomings of his kind before heaven.
Yahweh spoke to Ha-lu: "Ha-lu! I grant you authority to uphold justice and punish evil. Now, I bestow upon you the title of the God of Light! Wherever you go, light shall follow—darkness shall vanish. Let all people look to me and be rescued from the depths of sin!"
"Thank you, my Lord, my God! I will do my very best!"
Ha-lu bowed reverently before Yahweh.
When bowing down, Gao Liang noticed a great light enveloping him, like the brilliance of the sun. He felt an overwhelming surge of strength throughout his body. When he looked up, Yahweh was no longer there. A voice echoed in his ears: "Gao Liang! Remember! The God of Light will conquer the three realms and unify the six realms! You must not only become a true Divine Martial King, but also the Sovereign of the Six Realms!" Gao Liang thought to himself: "Yahweh God! As long as I wish it and strive hard, I will surely succeed!" "What about Satan?" Jian Gang, the Mighty Divine Warrior, and Lei Gong and Dian Mu, the Thunder and Lightning Deities, asked in unison. Gao Liang looked at Satan with utter disregard—having been officially crowned the God of Light by Yahweh and granted a sacred light as radiant as the sun, he now stood in direct opposition to Satan. This divine light was fully capable of overpowering Satan's darkness, for Yahweh had bestowed upon him the true light, which could illuminate the entire realm of darkness. "Set him free!"
Highlight's response left everyone astonished. Many were puzzled, especially the Heavenly Emperor, who was most concerned, since Satan had never regarded the Heavenly Emperor with any respect and had consistently posed a threat to the heavenly realm. The Emperor urgently said, "Absolutely not! Absolutely not!" Ying'er, Zhang Yuping, Dong Jiao, and Yu Die shook their heads vigorously, like wind chimes, exclaiming, "Husband! You're sending a tiger back into the mountains—leaving a lasting problem!" The two stalwart bodyguards also urged Highlight to think carefully. With a gentle smile, Highlight addressed everyone, "I'm confident enough to let him go that I won't fear him causing further harm to humanity!" Then, he faced Satan, who remained kneeling on the ground, and said seriously, "Satan! On the account of God Yahweh, I'm granting you a temporary reprieve. But remember: your duty is to tempt and test human hearts—not to harm them. Should you commit acts of destruction, I solemnly swear before my own God that I will carry out a righteous judgment in place of the true God!"
"Take away all my authority and cast me into the lake of sulfur fire, where I shall never rise again!" High Light's words were filled with dignity, carrying an unyielding power that made even Satan tremble. Now, High Light had become the God of Light, granted authority and strength surpassing his own—how could he possibly resist? Indeed, upon analyzing the true God's message, he realized he too must submit to High Light. The God of Light would guide the God of Darkness. In this society, light and darkness coexisted, yet darkness would ultimately be driven by the light, and he would merely serve as a secondary figure. "High Light! No, the God of Light! I, Satan, willingly bow before you. As long as you give the word, I shall serve you faithfully—whether it be climbing mountains of blades or plunging into fires of flame, I shall not hesitate!" With his head deeply bowed, Satan pressed it into the ground, bleeding profusely, and did not care for the pain.
A pair of keen eyes gleamed upon Satan, recognizing that he was now truly sincere in his obedience. To Satan, the divine voice said, "Satan, my God is merciful. As long as you have a heart of repentance, I shall forgive you. Rise up! Since you have genuinely come to join me, then I shall hereby appoint you as my chief protector and most trusted general. You shall assist me in rescuing those in need—those very individuals who are willing to repent and actively seek truth, goodness, and beauty." "Master! Satan once again humbly thanks you for your forgiveness. There is nothing Satan can offer in return but faithful service to you in the days to come!" Satan's submission left everyone astonished. Wow! What a remarkable achievement! Who would have thought that the King of Darkness, the Master of Magic, Satan, could be so easily won over by the husband? What a joy! Ying'er, Zhang Yuping, Dong Jiao, and Yu Die were all filled with delight. The Heavenly Emperor and the other deities smiled warmly. The Emperor said, "The divine might of the God of Valor has truly brought about a moment of great honor for our heavenly realm—Satan's submission is indeed a
"From now on, I can rest assured!" "Big Brother! Big Brother! With you leading us, our future is brighter and brighter! Haha!" The Thunder and Lightning Deities, the Great Power Bodhisattva, and the two bodyguards were deeply proud and honored to have such a seasoned leader who had truly stepped into the realms of heaven, earth, and the underworld.
