After the end of the great unification, an era of multiple countries arrived.
The struggle will not stop as always, and different people will repeat similar tragedies again and again, for almost exactly the same purpose as before.
But Su Yun was already tired of this situation.
Although the speed of time gives people a completely different feeling, he has indeed spent thousands of years in this "dream" world. Countless wars and disputes have occurred before his eyes, and all the chaos finally returned to a brief peace.
Angland, which had just been ruled by the northern people, changed hands again in just a few years. Yunus, who had once been domineering on the ocean, also lost his throne. Countries of all sizes rose up around this land. Their royal families intermarried and conquered each other, using various systems to regulate society.
This time it was Teresa's turn to assign identities. Teresa has always been the most non-confrontational person. As expected, she gave herself the identity of Pope. Isis finally returned to being a knight of the Vatican, Jasmine was still a routine prince and noble, Anita was ignored as always, and the newcomer Julia was given the title of a commoner.
Anita didn't care. She still left a little white snake and disappeared in the vast crowd in the East.
As for Alice... Alice's identity was once again assigned to the royal family. Teresa's main consideration was still her Father God. After all, the Father God promised to accompany Alice, so Teresa gave the Father God the human identity of a bishop resident in the royal family.
Su Yun no longer cares about his identity. He no longer looks forward to the rise of a new civilization or the death of an old civilization. He just wants to watch the changes in the world in silence, and then return to the Divine Court after decades.
Su Yun’s imagination can only go as far as returning to the Divine Palace. It is difficult for him to predict his future in the "real" world. Falling into the deep sea may bring death, but what about his shadow?
That shadow like the water of the Styx...what will it turn him into?
Su Yun did not feel any fear. His shadow was such an inhuman and terrifying existence that was beyond human comprehension, but his heart was calm.
It doesn't matter what kind of monster he becomes, if he loses his life...
That's even better.
In the early morning, the devout believers once again began their new day with prayer. God's loyal servants would not change their beliefs because of the different environments they were in, especially in the palace.
Human monarchs need a pious heart and good moral character.
.
After chanting sutras for the princess, two elderly nuns walked out of the little princess's bedroom. They were senior nuns and also the little princess's teachers. The king of this country was a devout Christian, and the queen was even more so.
Ten years ago, the royal family invited a bishop from the Holy Empire's Grand Church to serve in the palace. The king personally invited the bishop to be the teacher of several princes, and the queen invited a respected nun for the princess.
"Her Highness is such a pious and good child. She will surely become a model for queens in the future." The nuns spoke in a low and respectful voice. "Her Highness is about to come of age. Where does His Majesty want to marry her?"
"Maybe it's Rango, that's the Queen's hometown." The nun on the left whispered, "The Queen will definitely be happy to choose the country closest to us."
"No, I think it's Lidi. I heard that the crown prince of Lidi has a weird personality and even publicly made disrespectful remarks. This must be because of his mother. Everyone knows that he is a bastard. If King Lidi didn't have a legal prince..." The nun walking on the right shook her head, "But it doesn't matter. Our little princess will definitely make him change his ways."
"No other royal family can surpass Ceylon. This is the bishop's diocese." The nun on the left was a little proud. "The princesses and princes of the Ceylon royal family are so pious. God will surely favor this beautiful country."
This time her companion readily agreed: "Yes, you are right, all this is thanks to the bishop!"
Both nuns smiled with pride. The "bishop" they were talking about was the bishop who came from the Vatican together with them and was invited by the king to come to this country ten years ago.
Different bishops would govern different dioceses. The Pope attached great importance to their bishops and personally sent him to the Ceylon Diocese.
Today, this bishop is not only the Archbishop of Ceylon, he is also the mentor of the Crown Prince. Under his guidance, the little prince has devoted himself to doing good and has become a devout Christian.
A nun pointed out: "It's the Bishop!"
The other nun also immediately stopped moving forward. They stood by the road, not caring whether the bishop could see their ritual. They just bowed from a distance in the direction of the garden.
But fortunately, the bishop did see them. The bishop was a tall man. He was dressed in a neat black suit and his long black hair was tied neatly behind his head. He nodded to the nuns from a distance.
At this moment, there was a noise among the flowers in the distance.
A blond boy strode out from the flowers. He was wearing an elaborate suit. His handsome face was full of sunny smiles and his deep blue eyes were like the sky.
The boy strode up to the bishop and said something to him with a smile. The bishop obviously hesitated for a moment, then showed a helpless smile. He reached out and touched the boy's head, like a kind teacher who could do nothing with his students.
Soon the two of them left the garden one after the other, and the two old nuns did not stand up until their backs disappeared.
The nun vowed: "His Royal Highness the Prince is about to come of age, and the Bishop must be the one to hold his coming-of-age ceremony."
Her companion sighed: "Yes, maybe we can wait until the bishop holds a coming-of-age ceremony for the little princess."

Su Yun didn't know that his identity this time was highly recognized by religious people, but even if he knew it, he would not be happy or distressed.
After all, this time he is a bishop in the style of Teresa, and he is also a member of the Vatican.
In this era, religious authority and royal power go hand in hand. The latter is in charge of secular affairs, while the former is the controller of spiritual affairs. Theocracy and royal power maintain a delicate balance.
The Holy See is the center of religion. It was established in the Holy See of Naples and is a common holy place for all believers. The real religious leader is the Pope in the Holy See, that is, "Holy Bishop of Naples, Representative of Christ, Successor of the Lord of the Apostles, High Priest (Pope), King of Candidatein and Servant of the Servants of God." - Abbreviated as the Pope.
Under the Pope are the bishops, who are responsible for different dioceses. If the Pope is the true emperor whose words are law, then the bishops are roughly equivalent to princes.
Teresa knew the Father's preferences very well, so she directly assumed the role of Pope, while Isis was left in the Holy Knights to guard the Vatican as the military leader of theocracy.
Su Yun is now the bishop of this small country. He also serves as the teacher of the crown prince. Although the crown prince is Alice, this student does not need any teacher's guidance at all... maybe.
"Alice, stop teasing Julia." Su Yun was quite helpless, "Julia also has her own things to do."
The blond, blue-eyed boy said coquettishly, "Since Father God said so, I will ignore him. But as a price, I will become an adult soon, and Father God must preside over the adulthood ceremony for me."
The coming of age of a crown prince of a small country...is not a big deal.
Su Yun nodded.
Alice smiled.
, he originally had a pure and beautiful appearance, and now he seemed to be glowing.
Ever since she was able to be alone with God the Father, Alice has been very content and happy.
How could he not be delighted? Theresa and Isis were trapped in the Vatican, Jasmine was far away in a foreign country, and even Anita's annoying snake disappeared!
He liked this identity very much. There would be no obstacles around him to prevent him from being with God the Father, and his identity could easily isolate anyone else who tried to get close to God the Father - such as Julia.
Julia was assigned the identity of a commoner with a small family background. Alice didn't care about his life or death, but he almost climbed to the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer if she wasn't careful, so Alice simply and roughly threw him into prison.
When Su Yun found out about this, Julia had already found a way to exonerate herself, and had established a relationship with the Vatican, secretly complaining to God the Father through the Vatican's channels.
Alice walked briskly: "What book will Father God read today? I want to be with Father God."
Su Yun smiled and said, "I don't know either. Let's see which book I will draw."
He had recently become obsessed with the human library, reading every book, good or bad, including the large number of chronologies that Theresa had sent him.
"Then I guess it's another collection of poetry this time." Alice's eyes sparkled, "If I guess right, Father God will give me a reward, okay?"
If Su Yun agreed now, there would be no books other than poetry collections in the entire library in a while.
Su Yun had seen through Alice's tricks long ago. He laughed softly and said, "It's not impossible, but..."
Alice's eyes lit up.
"But the reward I promised to give you will also be given to all your brothers." Su Yun added, "So, do you still want to guess?"
Alice: “…”
Alice lost interest and said listlessly, "Okay, I give up."
Su Yun shook his head and smiled. The two of them walked up the corridor in the palace one after the other. They soon arrived at the library in the palace.
But outside the library, which was supposed to be empty, there was actually a servant waiting. Upon seeing Su Yun and Alice arrive, the servant, who was played by a priest, immediately handed over a letter. Su Yun took it and found that it was actually written to him by Theresa - not a private letter, but a letter written to the bishop as the Pope.
Theresa is a very law-abiding person. She does this only because history has reached a certain point, just like the fixed plot in the game.
Su Yun peeled off the sealing wax and quickly read the letter.
Alice: "Father God, what's wrong?"
Su Yun closed the envelope: "Nothing, it's just that a new war is about to begin."
The author has something to say: The Crusades have finally arrived, and the next event will jump directly to the witch hunts and the Age of Discovery. It is surprising that the witch hunts and the Age of Discovery were from the same era. I originally thought that witch hunts were something that happened in the mid-Middle Ages.
