The moonlit night was quiet and the bonfire was burning brightly, but the flames were powerless in front of the bright white divine light.
Ryan finally saw the face of the Moon God, but he was not surprised, because he had learned from Kurt before that the Moon God had a face that was very different from theirs. He was handsome, but his beauty was filled with a strong sense of distance, and he was definitely not someone who would appear around them.
There is no shortage of handsome men in the world, and there are also handsome men among the nobles, but their beauty is easy to obtain, easy to see, and easily contaminated by the secular world, except for the God before us.
He was born noble and sits far away in the sky. He does not need people to recognize Him.
But people need His recognition to bathe in the moonlight at night.
Especially after the Moon Goddess displayed her miracle, Ryan's body and mind had completely surrendered. The gift he presented to the Moon Goddess was taken away in an instant, and he didn't even hear a strange sound.
Ryan glanced at the place where the "gifts" were placed in front of the campfire. The living animals, gold, silver, and fine wine were all taken away, but a box of gems was left behind. No, not only were they left behind, but there was even one more box.
He had good eyesight, and the box was not covered, so Ryan could see the gems in the box clearly.
Most of them are rubies, with blue and green gems slightly less common, but they are all better than the gems he prepared for the Moon Goddess, and they are larger in size. Any one of them can be inlaid in the king's crown.
Ryan suddenly became nervous, for he was afraid that the Moon Goddess would think that the gift he prepared was not good enough or pious enough.
He stood side by side with Kurt, but rarely did he feel any hostility towards Kurt. He even hoped that Lord Moon God would focus on Kurt instead of himself.
But his prayers did not receive the mercy of the Moon God. He heard the Moon God ask him in a strange and pleasant voice: "I don't like gems. You can keep some of these gems and exchange the rest for something interesting for me."
Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, not blaming him.
He lowered his head and said flatteringly, "Okay, Master Moon God, I will definitely do what you ask me to do."
Soon, the Moon God's voice sounded again: "I saved a human, and he will manage this land."
"I don't care about the land below the mountain. It's still your territory. It's just this mountain. I hope to build a new human village."
The Moon Goddess chuckled, "That would be fun."
Ryan quickly said: "My territory is your territory, I am just your slave, how can a slave own land?"
The Moon Goddess's gaze fell on him again. Ryan shuddered, his body stiffened involuntarily, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
"You're good." He heard the Moon Goddess praising him, and Ryan felt relieved. He felt extremely lucky and honored.
Being praised like this by the Moon Goddess, does it mean that he is one step closer to immortality?
Maybe he will soon be able to shed his human body, go to the Moon Temple, and become a messenger or servant of God. By then, no king on earth can compare to him.
"Come out." The Moon Goddess seemed to be speaking to those behind Him.
Ryan didn't dare to look directly at the Moon Goddess, but he couldn't help but look at her.
In the light, the man seemed to appear out of thin air. He had shiny red hair, which was coated with a soft orange light edge in the bright light. His figure was a little hunched, but not like a hunchback. Instead, he looked a little naughty and unruly, as if some noble young master was unwilling to straighten his back and walk properly.
He was not handsome and had freckles on his face, but he was wearing a strange piece of clothing. The clothing had no sleeves, or the sleeves were very short, and there was a strange black pattern on the chest. The pattern was very rough, but it had a special aura.
The shoes on his feet were something Ryan had never seen before.
Ryan didn't know this man.
He subconsciously thought that this person was a noble.
If he is not a noble, then he cannot be a slave. Only nobles and commoners are worthy of being saved by the Moon Goddess, and slaves are not worthy of it.
Kane also looked at Ryan. The first time he saw Ryan, he knew that the other party had forgotten him completely.
How powerful this man was in the past. He just wanted to know whether a person could become a hunchback after growing up, and he really turned him into a hunchback.
Countless people were trying to please him, as if he was all truth, the only king and god in the land.
Everything he did was wise and absolutely correct.
Kane wondered in confusion, is the lord so fat? Are his eyes so small? Is he so short?
Why hadn't he noticed it before?
In his memory, Ryan was extremely tall, like a giant.
Now, Ryan seemed particularly weak, just a short fat man. He did not have a tall stature or a huge body, and it seemed that he would be knocked down by anyone with a punch.
He is not great.
The remaining black fog that had been lingering in Kane's heart finally dissipated slowly as if someone had blown it away, and his whole body became clear.
"He is the one I chose to be the manager of this place." Ye Zhou looked at the people kneeling on the ground. His voice was very soft, but his tone was unquestionable. "I want him to be alive."
Ryan's expression froze, and he immediately said, "Don't worry, Lord Moon God, nothing will happen to him. If anything happens to him, I am willing to die with him."
Then he heard the Moon Goddess's meaningful response: "Remember your words."
It was that familiar light again.
The Moon Goddess disappeared in the light again.
But this time, He left behind a messenger.
·
Ye Zhou returned to Zou Ming and Sarah and looked in Kane's direction with some concern. He was worried that Kane would not be able to do the job, and he was also worried that he had overestimated Ryan and the others' fear of God. After all, he let Kane stay so that he could seize power.
Only if Kane succeeds in seizing power and becoming the de facto leader of the land can he proceed with his plans.
Kane is the most important part of his plan.
If Kane is not up to the task, Ye Zhou will need time to look for another one.
But if Kane died because of his plan, Ye Zhou felt that he might not be able to bear the condemnation of his conscience.
Ye Zhou sighed: "I hope Kane can succeed."
Sarah said, "Boss, don't underestimate the power of faith. Faith is a terrifying thing. It can quickly unite people and make them fight together for uncertain interests."
Ye Zhou thought about it and agreed.
It is difficult to say whether faith is good or bad. Good faith can urge people to move forward and make them risk their lives.
Wasn’t it the case that Norman Bethune and other international friends of the past put their own lives aside. For the sake of their beliefs, these people of noble character and lofty ideals were willing to travel across the oceans to strange lands and fight for their comrades of other nationalities.
But bad beliefs will divide people into different classes. After gaining power, they will crack down on dissidents and make themselves the only truth in the world.
Ye Zhou hopes that what he leaves behind for the people here is a good faith, rather than an illusory god.
Of course, if the latter is the one left, then he has no choice. There are so many gods here anyway, and they don’t need him.
According to Kane, there are three countries on this continent. Although the gods of each country come from the same mythological system, they believe in different things. For example, the country where Ye Zhou is now believes in the sun god and the moon god.
The other two countries, one believes in the gods of water and fire, and the other believes in the forest goddess.
They have no lack of faith in God, and once they believe, the entire nation believes together. So rather than being a country divided by land boundaries, it is better to say that they are a country divided by faith. Therefore, there is no possibility for them to integrate with each other. Even if they are on the same continent, they are like people from different worlds.
Ye Zhou had no psychological burden pretending to be the Moon Goddess.
"It's up to Kane next." Ye Zhou said to Zou Ming, "I want to open a branch here. This is the content that can be unlocked in this plane."
"The store manager of a branch can only be a local. Although they can't time-jump like me, they can contact me and purchase goods from me."
"I get a commission for every branch I open." Ye Zhou smiled at Zou Ming, "But the problem is that branches can't sell things outside of the local era. Only I can sell this."
Zou Ming nodded: "That's good."
"If every plane leaves a branch, and they can all sell things that are ahead of their time, artificially accelerating the development of the times will have many hidden dangers."
Ye Zhou thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense, but I think there's actually not much difference. Things from higher planes have an immeasurable impact on lower planes. Just like if an alien spaceship really landed on my plane, scientists would dismantle the spaceship. Even if they can't understand everything, they can still quickly promote the development of the times."
"Just like the things I sold in Daliang Dynasty, if there is a talented person who can disassemble and understand them, it can quickly promote development."
Ye Zhou: "In my time and space, it took a long time from the emergence of computers to the invention of computers, but it took a short time for computers to enter thousands of households. My mother used to feel bad when she bought a mobile phone, but now she can change her phone like changing clothes. People who are in it can't feel the change, but if you step out of it and look at it, you will find that the progress of technology is terrifyingly fast."
The system doesn't care about the technological development of each dimension, it only wants money.
Ye Zhou knew clearly that once he made a plane jump, the impact on each plane would be immeasurable.
But perhaps, in the development process of these planes, he is the one who should appear, and his appearance is inevitable, not accidental.
So he did not affect the sense of uneasiness in other dimensions.
Ye Zhou knew in his heart that this influence might not be good, but it was definitely not bad.
Ye Zhou had just finished speaking when he found that Zou Ming and Sarah were looking at him together.
The two of them looked at each other with a burning gaze, which made Ye Zhou feel a little embarrassed. He asked curiously, "What? Did I say something wrong?"
Zou Ming shook his head slightly: "No, you are right."
Sarah quickly followed up, “Nothing could be more right than what you said, boss!”
Zhou Yuanhe was sitting not far away. He heard Zou Ming and Sarah flattering Ye Zhou. In order to fit in, he also flattered, "Whatever the boss says is right."
Ye Zhou was amused by Zhou Yuanhe and shouted to him, "Did you hear what I said? Just say it's right."
Zhou Yuanhe blinked: "They all say it's right, so that's right."
After being interrupted like this, Ye Zhou felt much more relaxed. He looked at the dimensional box placed next to Zou Ming and said, "Wait two days. We will go back after we are sure Kane is not in danger."
“I don’t know how much this thing is worth.”
If Ryan was not needed now, he would not even leave the stone house for Ryan. Doesn't that mean he doesn't treat slaves as human beings? Once you become a slave yourself, you will know whether you are a human being or not.
·
No one recognized him, Kane found this out in disbelief. He expected that the lord did not recognize him - after all, the lord had never looked at him straight in the eye.
But even the steward and the slaves did not recognize him, especially the slaves. They lived together day and night, but after not seeing each other for a while, they could no longer recognize him. The way they looked at him was as if they were looking at some important figure who could control their destiny.
The lord said to him respectfully: "Lord Messenger of God, if you want to live here, I will have someone build you a house tomorrow, but it is difficult to find huge rocks. If you are in a hurry, I can only build you a wooden house first."
The lord nervously explained: "It's not that I want to neglect you! If you want, I can even give you my bedroom!"
Kane found it absurd. He was still himself and had never changed. Only his identity had changed, as if he had changed as a person.
Kane did not feel any complacency or pride in his heart. On the contrary, he only felt a huge sense of absurdity. He suddenly realized that he was not important.
Even the lord in front of him is not important.
Each of them is not a human being, but just an identity. This identity may be a messenger of God, a lord, or a slave, but none of them is a human being.
Kane relaxed. He imitated Zou Ming's tone and said calmly, "Don't bother. I don't need a new residence, but these new civilians do. Lord Moon God asked me to take good care of them and turn this place into an above-ground temple."
Ryan's breath was choked, and he murmured and repeated Kane's words: "...the temple on the ground..."
Kane nodded: "This place will be just like the temple on the moon. Except for the gods, everyone will be the same, with no distinction between high and low."
Ryan immediately said, "That's great! That's great!"
He then asked, “Besides housing, what else do you need?”
Kane glanced at him and said, "Lord Moon God has given you so many gems. You need to exchange them for some interesting things. This is also a test for you. If you want to stay here, give Lord Moon God some cheap stuff..."
Ryan swore, "I will never do that! If I do that, the Moon God will take me to the abyss and make me do hard labor for thousands of years!"
Kane nodded and looked straight at the slaves not far away.
Now he knew what he had to do.
Lord Moon God has given him the opportunity, so he must seize it.
Lord Moon God is indispensable to him, his savior, and his only faith.
But he is not irreplaceable to the Moon Goddess.
If he fails to do what Lady Moon God assigns him to do, Lady Moon God will definitely replace him.
In this case, he must do it and do it well.
Otherwise, he would have let down Lord Moon God, and even if Lord Moon God forgave him, he would not be able to live anymore.
How could I ever lose the feeling of those eyes on me after having felt them?
