The firelight also lit up Alice's pupils.
He watched Theresa, dressed in a pretentious white robe, chanting in front of a group of fanatical humans.
——It's like a giant stink bug that attracts ants.
These humans only saw Theresa's appearance covered in human skin, and they had no idea what kind of monster they were worshiping.
But that's fine, who cares about these people? They can do whatever they want...
Alice's eyes were fixed on the figure standing quietly in the crowd.
My God, do you know that you are so pure and holy in your white robe?
However, he could not get close to his God, as countless ant-like lives stood between them.
He could only endure, could only wait, could only watch from afar like this -
Alice was the creation of Yuanchu. In the beginning, Father God had only Alice as his child.
What a wonderful and happy time it was, until Theresa was born.
It's like this again and again, every restart, starting with Alice, then Theresa, and finally the five brothers and countless lives.
Alice also hates Theresa the most.
This second abominable and hateful creature destroyed his unique beauty and shattered his carefree dream.
Jasmine was right. From the moment the second creation was born, he fell into the magma of jealousy.
The burning pain was scorching him all the time.
Alice couldn't laugh anymore. She stared blankly at the scroll in front of her that was dyed red by flames.
The young man in white in front of the altar opened his arms to the crowd, inviting them, and his invitation was accepted.
A new priest was born. He walked out from the crowd, passed the souls lying on the ground, and put his hand into the palm of the hypocritical patriarch.
His figure was outlined in flames, and he was smiling, with a gentle, inclusive emotion as vast as the sky.
So all souls looked up, and the fanatical emotions gathered into a torrent, rolling and roaring in the dark night, and silence was its only disguise.
Alice felt the uncontrollable exclamations of shock from the people around her, their uncontrollable rapid heartbeats, and their held breath and fear of speaking.
They also love God the Father—
In this world, who would not love the God who created everything?
He, Alice, the original creation, is no longer the only one of God the Father.

Su Yun's priest life is very fulfilling.
This time their new home was chosen by Theresa
The altar was located next to the largest altar in the capital, and he had to do his daily duties according to the lifestyle of this ethnic group - leaving his home before sunrise, supervising the congregants to clean the altar, and then returning home before sunset.
There are not many people who are qualified to become priests, which means that the tasks assigned to priests are extremely complicated.
The seven sacrifices have ended, and Su Yun's identity has been finalized. Theresa naturally took over Su Yun's burden without saying a word, but his original responsibilities were heavy, so he was too busy all day to go home.
Su Yun once again lived a retired life, and apart from occasionally going to the sacrificial site, he had basically nothing to do.
Su Yun was used to this pattern. In his free time, he would wander around in this ancient civilization, visiting Achaemenid Empire like he did in Anatoli.
Although the country's altars are simple, the royal palaces and many public buildings are magnificent.
Ever since Alice came to this civilization, she knew that she was betrayed by her good brother, so she went to Su Yun to cry as usual. She was successfully promoted from a ash-sweeper to a priest attendant. He was still responsible for Anatol's news and could not stay with the Father God all the time on weekdays.
Jasmine's identity as a royal child is indeed good, but he is the younger brother of the Achaemenid emperor, and he is also a royal family that has experienced a political change, so his life was quite difficult.
Because I am confined to this human identity, I am under surveillance every day and have very little time to sneak out.
As for Anita, this plague has a restless personality. She usually wanders around outside without any limit. She will only run back to rub against her father when she misses him too much to bear it. It can be said that she is quite adorable.
But looking at this, Su Yun guessed that when Anita was not with him, she would most likely go to a cult...
But as long as Anita doesn't bother his brothers, Su Yun will let him do what he wants.
Taking all the above into account, Su Yun actually has quite a bit of time to be alone.

The Achaemenids' first war against Thessaly was about to end, and a small battle in which the Thessalian side won with a smaller force ended the Achaemenids' first invasion.
In general, neither side gained much advantage in this battle, but considering that the war was an invasion of Thessaly, from the perspective of losses, it can barely be considered a victory for the Achaemenids.
The losses of the first war were not worth mentioning for the huge slave empire of Achaemenid. The monarch of the empire decided to start the conquest again after a short rest.
.
With the return of the royal army, sacrifices to thank the gods and celebrations by the people began. However, this time the sacrifices would definitely be attended by the royal family and the monarch of the empire would be present in person.
"Anato is in civil strife again. There are so many wars among humans." Alice lay on Su Yun's shoulder, "This time it was also because of the fight for the throne. The princess and the prince framed and murdered each other - siblings turned against each other."
The royal family of Anatol continued to multiply, and this generation was already the great-grandchildren of Thutmose.
Fortunately, Anatole was unable to take care of himself, otherwise the Thessalian civilization would probably have been attacked from both sides.
"Father God, which civilization do you think will win in the end?" Alice speculated maliciously, "I hope all three countries don't fall and become someone else's meal."
"It's possible, but I haven't been to Thessaly yet, so I can't make a judgment for you." Su Yun rubbed the boy's head, "Alice, you've gained weight again."
Alice groaned and jumped down to her feet. "My God, I'm getting bigger as I grow older. Of course I'll be heavier."
Su Yun looked carefully at the altar that would be lit tonight: "Alice, help me get the holy water and holy oil. It's just the last step."
The priests carry fire with them, holy oil is used to start the fire, and the firewood to maintain the flame will be brought by the people who come to worship. As for the holy water, it is a sacrificial prop that will be poured on the flame for purification.
"Holy oil and holy water?" Alice nodded. "I'll go then! I'll be back soon!"
"Go ahead. I'll be waiting for you here." Su Yun sat down beside the altar and reminded him, "Remember to use human speed. Don't go too far."
Alice: “I know!”
The altar where the sacred fire was lit was as rugged and masculine as the religious outlook of this civilization. Su Yun couldn't help laughing as he watched Alice running down the mountain excitedly and turning around and waving repeatedly.
The novel ancient civilization and religion were very special, which made Su Yun very interested in participating. Moreover, he was presiding over the sacrifice tonight, which made this event even more special.
The steps of the sacrifice are also full of rough colors. One of the steps requires the priest to communicate with the gods beside the holy fire, so what should he do at that time? Ask himself and answer himself?

The scorching sun has gradually set, the clouds in the sky are dyed with a different color, and the faint sound of dance music comes from the foot of the mountain, which is the news that the royal family has arrived.
Jasmine is a descendant of the royal family. He will come this time. This identity is a constraint for him. Su Yun has visited him several times.
times, expressing deep sympathy for Jasmine's boring life.
Before the sacrifice began, no one was allowed to enter the hillside where the altar was located. The believers were hurriedly conducting a final inspection at the foot of the hill, and Teresa's status was equivalent to that of a patriarch, and his affairs could delay him until the last moment before the sacrifice began.
Su Yun looked up at the sky, waiting for Alice boredly.
And at this moment, someone actually walked up the hillside.

Since Father God said to use human methods, Alice cannot cheat.
Alice trotted down the mountain at a human pace. He saw Theresa from afar. The crowd surrounded him, and Theresa's expression was still as pious and gentle.
Whether he is serving the gods themselves or busying himself in an anthill, he is always like this.
——For Theresa, as long as it is God’s will, then she will be happy no matter what she does.
Alice turned her head away in boredom and walked towards the place where the holy relics were stored.
These later brothers could not identify with him, and how could Alice herself admire her brothers?
He wanted to kill all creation, from his six younger brothers to all the living beings under the God's court.
Alice just wants to be with the Father, no matter what the time.
Alice was hurrying on her way, and the believers coming and going subconsciously made way for him when they saw him. Everyone knew that this young man, who was originally a believer of the lowest level, was no longer the same as before. He was valued by the new priest and directly became his attendant.
The believers who sweep the altar ashes must make way for the higher-level believers.
Such an overnight success is enough to arouse jealousy and disgust, not to mention that this lucky person was chosen by the new priest.
It’s the new priest!
Alice finally made her way through the dense crowd and reached the place where sacrificial supplies could be collected. However, when she picked up the jar, she did not see holy water or holy oil in it.
Someone replaced the water and oil, and it's just two jars of dirty water.
The smile on Alice's face gradually disappeared.
He slowly turned around and looked at the churchgoers who were pretending to be so. "How strange! There is neither holy water nor holy oil in this."
The people in charge of the holy objects exchanged subtle glances, and then someone started to sneer, and malicious laughter followed one after another.
The leader stepped forward and said, "Yes, that's strange. Where are the water and oil? How did you lose them?"
Everything is an excuse, people use it to vent their hatred and plot replacement.
This was just the beginning of all the troubles. The little servant who could not get the holy water and holy oil would be punished sooner or later, and only noble people could offer the sacred objects to the priests.
——How could this person of low birth stand beside the priest? I don't know how many people hated him.
Thick malice flowed from the eyes and tongues of these people, and that was the emotion Alice was most familiar with.
"You are not worthy to serve that priest!" They were jealous. "That lord chose you just because of your luck!"
"You are not allowed to stand next to him!" they hated. "You deserve to die!"
So Alice smiled and said, "I'm short of water and oil, can you help me?"
No one answered him, they were laughing and insulting him.
Alice was still smiling. He slowly pulled out a thin sharp blade and sighed softly, "How annoying! I will end up like Isis one day."
"How could he like this? This kind of thing is really boring."
The author has something to say: I don’t know if the previous chapter was successful.
