As the order is delayed, the life required to revive each creature is doubled.
Alice was the original creation, who broke through the barriers by herself; then Theresa was awakened and resurrected, and she needed a plague disaster that could spread throughout the basin; next was Jasmine, who was born from a war that spread to almost the entire continent.
Anita's resurrection requires more deaths, and her opportunity is also war.
This is a battle for survival resources in the central waters of the three continents. Ethnic groups from different continents collide and communicate with each other to form a new civilization circle. The ancient Creon civilization becomes the nutrient that nourishes this new pattern.
The circle of civilization surrounding the sea is like a necklace, and the countless city-states are the pearls on the necklace. They speak the same language and believe in the same religion. They emerge like mushrooms after a rain, and they either oppose or form alliances with each other, vying for progress and development.
In this war, Jasmine was in charge of the northern continent. While working part-time to save lives, he also did not forget to intervene in the construction of the city-state.
Many interesting things always happen in the process of the rise of the city-state, and the new civilization circle also has its own charm. He knew that God the Father would one day come back to the world, so he simply prepared a new identity and a well-located residence in advance.
Like Theresa and Alice, they, like those humans, only know how to follow the footsteps of the Father God. One day they will be abandoned and forgotten.
Only by maintaining the same pace can you wait until the end.
It’s almost enough to collect human lives to this extent…
They were enough to wake Anita up.
The parasitic plague is special. The power they obtain is limited, but because of the symbiotic nature, Anita can gain a lot of benefits in the later stage, even if he himself has no power to threaten other brothers.
Anita's patience is even greater than Flora's.
Jasmine decorated the new house with great enthusiasm, and without notifying Alice who was still staying in the southern continent and Theresa who was still staying in the eastern continent, she hurried back to the temple.
This kind of impatience is really anxious.
Jasmine pushed open the door inlaid with skulls: "My master, I have completed the spread of fire, and a new civilization has been born for the human race. You——"
His voice stopped abruptly, not only because he saw the figure that had been haunting him, but also because of the thing that should have been locked in the pillar.
"Long time no see, Jasmine."
A poisonous python wrapped its arms around Father God's shoulders and bared its fangs at him. "I was able to come back to life thanks to your help."
He licked the side of his master's neck, leaving a deep red mark on the white area.
Jasmine hated his brothers, but if emotions could be measured, his disgust was far less than his contempt - Jasmine looked down on his other brothers because of the absolute trust between master and slave.
Maybe the most powerful Flora can make him look at her in the eye, but everyone else is just like a passing cloud in his eyes.
No—besides Flora, Anita is also special.
Jasmine deeply hated the younger brother who stood right behind him.
The hatred directed at Anita came not only from Jasmine, but also from Theresa and Julia.
Teresa believed that all believers of God the Father were more humble than him, and his disgust was because he thought Anita was impure; and as for Julia, he felt that Anita had rebelled against the true will of God the Father, and what he hated was Anita's behavior of destroying classes and rules.
As for Jasmine...
He firmly believed that the master and the slave were each other's only channel and destination, and that there should be a perfect, clean straight line between the two endpoints, without any branches and even less frequent breaks.
But Anita's cognition and behavior violated all his rules. He had no eyes for the other brothers, and he loved God the Father in a willful way, which made Jasmine feel offended.
In addition, Jasmine's power is an unbreakable defense and a deadly poison that corrodes everything, while Anita's power is corruption, control, and absorption. They are naturally restrained by each other, which makes their relationship even more incompatible.
Even Alice looked cute compared to Anita.
Jasmine thought so and involuntarily tightened her grip on the cane.
Su Yun returned to his throne, and his heart, which had always been calm, felt satisfied because of Anita's resurrection.
He looked at the arrogant man coming out of the gate: "Jasmine, you're back."
Jasmine knelt down on one knee in front of him and said lovingly: "My master."
Then he turned to Anita, smiling so hypocritically that he didn't even bother to hide it: "My brother, you're welcome."
"I didn't expect to see you first." Anita smiled gently, "Thank you for your blessing."
He leaned against the flowers with his hands placed horizontally on the steps under the throne. He leaned his head on his arms and could touch Su Yun's robe at his feet if he stretched out his hand.
Different from the arrogant and willful personality,
Anita's clothes were surprisingly simple, just a long robe over a tight-fitting outfit. He held a full-moon-shaped piano in his arms and casually plucked a few untuneable syllables.
Anita's long black hair was spread out like seaweed, forming the sharpest contrast with his deep red eyes.
Su Yun more or less felt the conflict between Jasmine and Anita.
This reminded him of the rose - Anita would pick the rose that Jasmine had watered with blood and then attach the most malicious blessings.
After the hypocritical meeting, Jasmine pretended not to see Anita and reported to herself: "The Creon civilization is no longer there."
Su Yun asked: "A new civilization replaced it?"
"Yes, my lord," Jasmine reported, "The Thessalians from the north occupied the intersection of three continents. They built city-states and established a new civilization around the sea and islands."
"I have left a new identity and residence in the largest city-state, waiting for your arrival at any time."
Su Yun was a little surprised to hear this: "Are you ready? But I have no intention of leaving the Divine Court in the past few decades. I am afraid that your efforts will be in vain... Thank you for your hard work."
"That's nothing!" Jasmine's eyes lit up when she heard Father God's praise. "Whatever I do for you is my duty. And the identity I left behind is a tribe. No matter when you leave the Divine Court, the identities of all ages will be available to you."
This is a very thoughtful arrangement. Using a continuously inherited family as an identity means a reasonable social status. If Su Yun enters human society again, he does not need to hide himself like a bystander, or insert himself abruptly in a high-profile manner. He only needs to use his family as a basis to directly participate in almost all human social activities.
Su Yun was really moved this time.
Jasmine does understand the world better than Alice and Theresa. He can arrange everything perfectly. Although he cannot change his pursuit of pleasure and luxury, his character is mixed with more "humanity".
Both he and Isis are creatures with more human thinking and can better understand the motivations of human behavior.
Alice and Theresa, who came a little later, finally returned to the Divine Court at this time. Alice was in charge of the southern continent where Anatole was, while Theresa was in charge of the eastern continent that Su Yun had little contact with.
"Father - God -" Alice pushed the door open, "I'm back -"
He seemed not to see Anita at Su Yun's feet
, after glancing at Jasmine, he knelt on one knee on the ground in front of him: "The time of that King Anatol has come, I have brought him up and thrown him to Isis!"
The king of Anatol... the one who gained eternal life because of the rose, has he arrived? Time flies.
Su Yun nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
Theresa walked slowly into the gate. Like Alice, she did not look around. She knelt down behind her brother and said, "My God, a new empire has been established in the east. They are expanding to the west. This increasingly powerful civilization calls itself Achaemenid."
"A new civilization in the East..." Su Yun smiled happily upon hearing this, "It's the time when many nations rise up and fight against each other again."
The thousand-year-old country of Anatolia, which was at its peak, the gradually taking shape of the Thessalian city-state civilization, the expanding Achaemenid Empire... When technology and transportation allowed people to come into contact with each other, conflicts between civilizations would break out on a large scale, no matter which continent they were on.
"Well done, Jasmine, Alice, Theresa, you have worked hard this time to bring Anita back to life." Su Yun was generous with his praise. He told him about his next arrangements. "Civilization needs to recuperate after the war. When these continents prosper and a new war breaks out, we can revive Isis."
Since Father God said so... Alice seemed to have just seen the man beside the throne: "Isn't this Anita? Hello."
Anita stood up slowly, the scarlet petals stuck to his clothes and black hair, reflecting his crimson eyes: "Alice... Theresa, long time no see, thank you very much."
Alice smiled sweetly: "I am your brother, there is no need to be so polite to me."
However, Theresa lowered her eyes, as if she didn't hear his words.
He was willing to tolerate crazy and arrogant followers, but he refused to accept impure companions.
Su Yun sat on the throne and looked at the undercurrent below, feeling quite helpless: "Anita, I have divided the Temple of God into eight parts, one of which belongs to you. Go to your area first and you can arrange it as you like."
It seems that Jasmine is not the only one who has conflicts with Anita... This child has a special temper, and even Theresa can't get along with him.
Anita smiled when she heard this, and he casually plucked the strings twice: "Okay, my God."
"Please wait for me. I can't wait to... play a carol for you."

Anne
Ta left the hall and walked into his area.
This is still an empty platform. All you can see are clouds and sunlight, nothing else.
Anita hugged Qin tightly and sat down casually on the ground. He lowered his head and looked at his arms, sighing softly: "Oh... I'm going to die again. I finally saw the Father God. This can't be allowed."
The arms hidden in his sleeves were no longer normal human arms with clear texture. That was a scene that could only appear when sealed in a coffin.
Starting from Anita's left palm to his left shoulder, this section of the arm completely showed the perfect decay process: the palm had long become a skeleton, and the wrist was left with only charred and taut skin, while the forearm was better, with traces of rotten flesh still visible. Going up further was the upper arm, and at the very end was the fresh shoulder with corpse spots.
"It's so ugly... I can't let Father God see it." Anita kissed her hand that had turned into a skeleton, and plucked the strings with her intact right hand.
It's unknown when vines began to climb out of his body. They slowly extended, expanding little by little in the beautiful music, and finally spread over and occupied the entire platform.
The vines have no leaves, they are rooted in Anita's bones, and buds of flowers gradually appear in this eerie dark green.
But they are different from the roses that Jasmine carried. They have no life, will not bloom naturally in the sun, and are even less likely to bear sweet fruits.
In the center of the vines that occupied the entire platform, the man holding the zither had become a ghost in the coffin just like his palm. The left half of his body completely exposed his pale bones, and all the ugly signs that would appear on a corpse were stacked on this half of the body.
The exact opposite of this is probably his other half, who is the perfect embodiment of "beauty".
That was flawless skin like jade, long and soft eyelashes, passionate red eyes, broad and strong shoulders, and palms with distinct knuckles...
The rotten skeleton and the enchanting beauty were spliced together, the charred teeth were tightly connected to the thin red lips, and the broken vocal cords vibrated in the rotten throat.
Amid the piano music, Anita softly sang a wedding hymn.

Theresa brought information about the rise of a new civilization. Perhaps because she was used to recording civilizations, this time she brought a complete preliminary record.
The Eastern Continent is extremely vast, with its southernmost tip connected to the other two continents. The confluence of the three continents forms a vast inland sea.
With numerous rivers converging here, it is truly the cradle of civilization.
The Achaemenid Empire was an empire established on the eastern continent. Similar to the other two hegemonic civilizations, Anatolia and Thessaly, the Achaemenid civilization was also established by a nation that was good at fighting. This empire plundered survival resources everywhere and was about to collide with the Thessalian civilization circle.
This is a battle between primitive civilizations. These magnificent and ancient behemoths have become the ultimate winners in the law of the jungle on their respective continents. Now they have met each other and the real winner is about to be decided.
If human civilization is a huge selection competition, then this scale is probably the final, right?
Su Yun couldn't help but feel moved when he saw this.
"My God, do you want to see this country?" Theresa said sympathetically, "I am willing to prepare an identity for you immediately."
Jasmine was unhappy when he heard this, and he interrupted Theresa: "Theresa, what kind of identity are you going to prepare for Father God? Is it still related to human religion?"
Theresa replied gently, "In human society, the classes that dominate religions are all noble. The ruling class and the royal family are noble, but they are not transcendent in spiritual status. Moreover, all people are devout believers, and all gods are incarnations of God the Father."
Jasmine knew this, but only the ruling class would always be closely associated with the word "luxury and enjoyment", so he would choose the nobility without thinking between the two classes.
Su Yun had already made up his mind.
He would not miss any emerging civilization, and ancient Anato was also his favorite. He had stayed in Anato and Creon Islands for some time, but of course he would give priority to the other two areas.
I want them all
Su Yun smiled and said, "Then I have decided, Theresa, we will go to Achaemenid first, and this time the identity will be handed over to you."
The young man's emerald eyes sparkled and he smiled gently: "Yes, my God."
"Jasmine," Su Yun continued, "after we finish our journey in the Achaemenids, I will head to Thessaly, and I look forward to the family identity you create."
Jasmine bowed slightly: "I won't let you down, Master."
Since Su Yun has decided on the next path, Theresa will take the lead.
He went to the Achaemenid Empire in the human world and would come back after everything was ready. It was easy for him to create an identity, but it was difficult to choose one that was suitable in all aspects.
It's not easy, especially since Jasmine is well prepared.
Even though the Father never cared, they all knew that this was a comparison with hidden dangers. Alice's bloody precedent was there - what was the difference between Theresa and Alice?
No.
Jasmine looked at Theresa's departing back, confident of victory.

After Jasmine and Theresa left, Su Yun took Alice to Anita's temple.
This platform was no longer empty, but it was still quite shabby compared to Jasmine's: there were no buildings on the huge platform, only vines entangled all over the ground with numerous flower buds on them.
Alice suddenly felt confident when looking at the decoration. He hugged Su Yun's arm and said, "Father God, Anita's decoration is too simple. She just casually scattered rattan on the ground. She didn't put any effort into it."
Su Yun took Alice to the center and said, "Anita... he is no longer here."
In the very center of the platform, at the root of all the vines, there is a crescent-shaped mandolin, but the owner of the mandolin is no longer there.
The seven great creatures each have their own temperament, some are quiet and gentle, and of course there are also those with strong personalities.
Flora is willful and Anita is capricious. Neither of them is the type to get along well with their brothers. They only obey Su Yun's orders, and when Su Yun does not give strong instructions, no one can predict their code of conduct.
Su Yun squatted down and gently lifted up the mandolin. The vine broke silently, and a snow-white little snake, only as thick as a finger, slowly crawled out of the cavity and wrapped softly around Su Yun's wrist. Its big red eyes were as gorgeous as gems, and it rubbed against Su Yun coquettishly.
"Did they keep you here again..." Su Yun nodded the little snake's head helplessly, "No wonder Anita let these vines grow. He died again?"
The little snake rubbed it again to show its agreement.
Anita's state is also unique among the seven plagues. She herself is "dead" and can only "live" by constantly absorbing power from the outside world. Once the power collapses, no matter which aspect, she will return to the state of "death".
The vines all over the ground are the embodiment of Anita, and like him, they are dead.
Alice stared at the little snake wrapped around Father God's wrist, and couldn't help but play with the blade in her skirt. It was a thin and short dagger, which could perfectly help the cold-blooded reptile to skin and bone.
He hummed softly, "Father God, don't worry about Anita, and say that she will come to play hymns for you...
He left without saying a word! "
"The dead can't give Anita long-term power. He needs to let the plague parasitize on living things." Su Yun put down the piano, stood up and touched Alice's head. "And Anita is just like that. Whether it's him or Flora who will wake up in the future, they all need big brother's care."
Alice hummed and rubbed Su Yun's arm: "Since this is the will of the Father, then I will reluctantly agree."
Su Yun couldn't help laughing.
He was pretty successful in raising the child... After all, Alice could act like this now.
Come to think of it, he seemed to have promised Alice a wish, when Jasmine was resurrected.
And Theresa was there at the time. Although he refused, since Su Yun wanted to be fair, he had to prepare something for Theresa.
This time, Anita's resurrection was also thanks to her three brothers.
"Since Anita left his piano here, he should be back soon." Su Yun stood up, and the little white snake quietly wrapped around his wrist like a bracelet. "Alice, let's go and wait for your three brothers to return."

The time in the divine palace is different from that in the human world. Perhaps it is because human life is only a few short decades, the speed of time flowing in the mortal world makes Su Yun feel faster and more frequent.
There is no trace of time in the Divine Palace. As long as Su Yun is willing, everything will remain constant forever.
This is probably what it means to live in the mountains without time?
Jasmine came back very quickly. He had already prepared a family. All the members of that family were played by divine servants. They were "born" and "died" alternately, wearing different disguises to ensure that the family could be passed down normally from generation to generation.
The civilization of Thessaly is made up of several city-states, and in order to provide more choices, Jasmine has scattered one or two branches of this family in almost every city-state.
"The Achaemenids are marching westwards. They have fought many battles with the Kingdom of Thessaly," Jasmine reported. "The city-states of Thessaly will cooperate under the threat of foreign enemies, but their relationship is still loose, and there are many regrets in this cooperation."
The war has already broken out. The northern continent and the eastern continent are directly connected. The conflict between them is like a storm, directly engulfing all the surrounding areas. Both sides are current super civilizations, and it is unknown how long this battle will last.
The next person to return was Anita.
It's very different now, like a dried flower specimen revived into a fresh flower, with a magical aura flowing between her eyebrows.
He held his zither in his arms, and collapsed beside the throne as if he had no bones. He looked up at Su Yun tenderly - he really was like a vine or a mollusk, and every breath he took brought out a sweet scent.
Su Yun looked down at the creature that refused to sit upright: "You're back? Was your trip smooth?"
"Yes, my God, I am back." Anita raised her head and revealed her beautiful neck. "The human world is still full of wars."
“I went to Achaemenids and met Theresa.”
Jasmine was sitting at the foot of the throne, and seeing Anita acting so unruly, her hand on the cane became restless.
This annoying brother always hits the spot he hates the most. Can you lean on the master's throne? And from the bottom up... This angle of praying for mercy from the Lord - shouldn't it be mine? !
"Teresa?" Su Yun was stunned. "I want to go to Achaemenids next. I asked Teresa to prepare a place for me to stay. How is he?"
"Brother Theresa is still the same as before," Anita said softly. "He doesn't like me very much. He is serious and boring. I guess he is making a fire on the altar of human beings now?"
"Anita." Alice, who was standing next to the throne, couldn't help but say, "Now that you're back, take your reptile back."
The "reptile" Alice referred to was the little snake on Su Yun's wrist.
Anita glanced at him, as if she didn't hear him. He raised his head and looked at Su Yun, his red eyes sparkling with water: "My God, do you hate this little guy?"
That’s not the case... The little snake on Su Yun’s wrist was just like a bracelet and didn’t give Su Yun any strange feeling.
But Alice said so...
Su Yun stretched out his hand to Anita: "Since you are back, take it back. After all, it is also a part of you."
Anita didn't look sad, she just sighed regretfully. He put down the mandolin and said, "Okay then. Thank you for your care."
However, the White Snake didn't think so. The little thing twisted itself on Su Yun's wrist and refused to move, almost tying itself into a knot.
Anita supported herself on the throne with her hands and slowly climbed up. Her eyes were still looking directly into Su Yun's eyes, but her body rose like a vine. She pressed her body against Su Yun's calves and slowly rested her chin on his outstretched palm.
Then the man opened his mouth slightly and took
