The Nature Sacrifice is a time when the people of Nachu express gratitude for the gifts of nature, offering blessings and the finest treasures to the gods of nature. During this ceremony, all creatures rejoice together, and all spirits celebrate together. This grand ceremony only occurs once every five hundred years on Nachu.
Because each high priest can only preside over the sacrifice of nature once, every time five hundred years approach, the Temple of Nature will organize a divine selection. The first person to "break out of the cocoon" will be named by the God of Nature to be the next high priest for training.
The original owner, Pani, was commissioned to become the new high priest through the training of the God of Nature and preside over the upcoming Nature Sacrifice.
[…Originally, that’s how it was] System 021 said dejectedly, [But somehow the God of Nature in this world discovered us, so the memories of Tiffany and the plot were intercepted midway.]
Generally speaking, the world consciousness and we are on the same side, and the gods, as the beings closest to them, should also be on the same side.
"What did the God of Nature say?" Xu Shiqing asked.
[…He, He said, you have to rely on yourself to pass the test!] System 021 said with difficulty, [Please Him well!]
Xu Shiqing: ...?
ha?
[Also, He also said that as a reward for making you His believer, He wants you to change the fate of Nachu Star, which was ravaged by war!] 021 Pain Mask said, [This mission has been accepted by the Bureau!]
"Is this even possible?" Xu Shiqing was confused and shocked.
Isn’t it said that apart from the original owner, only the world consciousness can issue a commission?
[The gods can basically be considered part of the world consciousness... so accepting a commission from the God of Nature doesn't count as a violation of the rules.] The system feels a bit sad, like it's working overtime. [The plot, after all, is written by the world consciousness itself. It's not that it can't be changed, but it can't be changed without the world consciousness's permission. Otherwise, you'll be expelled and compensated!]
Even if the Spacetime Bureau is a charity, it can't always operate at a loss. Mainly because they don't have enough energy points to compensate taskers. Doesn't that tell them they can't change their fate? Anyway, the Bureau doesn't expect to live on commissions. They don't seek wealth and fame, just to keep the bureau running.
Although Xu Shiqing was wrong to modify the plot without consent in the previous world, the consciousness of that world was too irritable and acted too harshly, which is why the system came to cause trouble and demand compensation... although he asked for overtime.
'…' What could Xu Shiqing say? He could only take on the damn job: 'Okay, okay.'
021 consoled him, "I specifically asked about your freedom, and He said your main destiny won't change, but everything else is up to you."
Xu Shiqing flipped through his memories and continued reading.
The story of this world tells the story of the protagonist, Anthony, who rose from the slums to become a student at the Empire's premier military academy, met his destined partner, Leo Doron, and then stood out in competitions among various military academies, being noticed by the Imperial Army. He then made numerous achievements in successive wars, became an Imperial Marshal, and finally won the heart of a beautiful woman.
In this story, Nachu is the planet that was innocently affected when the empire, with the help of the power of the God of Light, launched a war against the God of Plague.
Xu Shiqing: ...?
"Why doesn't He just move the battlefield?"
[World consciousness has its own preferences.] System 021 said euphemistically, [Simple and efficient isn't necessarily best.]
...In short, I just want to see how he changes his destiny.
Xu Shiqing asked inexplicably: "Does He treat me as a host?"
This is performed for him on the spot.
[Think positively, He is very generous in giving] said 021.
Oh, life.
Xu Shiqing accepted this reason. He only had one hope at this moment: "I hope this is a world that people like."
Thinking of this, Xu Shiqing opened his eyes, but what he saw was not the expected ceiling of the room, but swaying leaves and fragmented sunlight.
"You're awake, Pani."
As the huge high priest approached, Xu Shiqing discovered that his lower body was that of an elk, while his upper body was no different from that of a human. He had a beautiful face like an elf, and on his head was a pair of huge elk antlers, entwined with lush green vines and swaying pure white magnolia flowers.
"High Priest." Xu Shiqing hurriedly stood up and saluted, and the accessories on his body made a sound like rain.
The high priest reached out and helped him up, smiling gently: "As the first person to start the training in the past five hundred years, I will be your teacher. In the next two weeks, I will teach you how to pass the training."
Through experience?
Xu Shiqing cheered up.
"Before that, you should learn to dance first." For some reason, the high priest's smile became a little awkward, and he was a little puzzled when he looked at it carefully.
He added, "It's my god's request, but you did well in the sacrificial dance before, so I don't think it's difficult."
No, no no no! God of Nature, what are you doing!
God of Nature: Don’t dance if it’s ugly :)
Xu Shiqing was horrified: That's Tiffany! Tiffany's good grades don't mean I'm good!
So, half a month later, the exhausted Xu Shiqing and the high priest Ronnie said goodbye to each other, and both felt like they had survived a disaster.
Ronnie: Peacefuljpg. No wonder my God emphasized learning to dance. Is there really anyone who can dance like that?
Xu Shiqing: Liberated!!! Husky having fun.jpg.
What sadness, what memories, they are nothing compared to the terrible study that was packed for half a month!!!
Freedom here I come!
