Chapter 100 Gaze: She seems a little too beautiful.
In a church that offers incense to itself, if there are enough believers.
Gods can breathe, have bodies, and move freely.
But the Daydream God is still accustomed to hiding in the dark, maintaining a looming figure.
She was looking at Li Zi at this time.
In the dim flickering candlelight, I looked at the girl's sleeping face.
I was surprised to find that she seemed a little too beautiful for a human.
Li Zi was born with a small body, small cheeks, a pointed chin, and a pair of watery almond eyes.
Although I am usually in a calm mood, I endure it as much as I can and rarely get angry.
But when her eyes meet others', the people being looked at can feel that she seems very serious and affectionate, and thus develop a liking for her and a desire to protect her.
Daydream God felt that this girl didn't look much like her mother, so could it be that she looked like her father?
She couldn't help but start searching through her memories of the past eighteen years when she controlled the Dawn Base, and was surprised to find that she had no idea who Li Zi's father was.
This was the second thing that surprised the God of Daydreams today.
She knew that Li Zi's mother was the current city lord, and she also knew that Li Jinyu was a servant boy in the base, who had been raised by her since childhood.
But I have no idea how she fell in love and had children.
It seemed like he disappeared for a year, and then a child suddenly appeared.
This child is Li Zi.
This is a special girl who has been immersed in religious culture for eighteen years, but has not been converted by believers and is unwilling to believe in God.
It's like the only red bean in a pot of rice porridge.
She should have singled her out and tossed her aside.
But I thought she was so cute and special floating in the porridge, so I carefully scooped her into the bowl with a spoon when serving the rice, but I couldn't bear to eat it.
The Daydream God couldn't help but get closer to the girl, wanting to hold her hand and see her past, preferably tracing back to the origin of this living life.
Who knew that even though she was in her church and her territory, there was still an invisible force between her and the girl.
So that she couldn't really touch her body.
Is it because I don’t have enough strength?
This thought flashed through the mind of the Daydream God.
The strength of a deity's power is related to the degree of faith of its followers and the number of their believers.
Everyone in the Dawn Base lives under her watchful eye. Except for Li Zi, no one, young or old, male or female, has any secrets in front of her.
Li Zi is just an ordinary, somewhat pretty girl.
Even her awakened powers were so weak that she had no power to resist her own energy.
That means the energy is overflowing, so much that she can't bear it.
Daydream God slowly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this must be the reason.
Anyway, those humans will sacrifice this girl in a few days, so there is no need to rush.
Since I can't pick out the red bean in the bowl because of my soft heart, I will give this task to someone else.
She must keep her domain pure enough and all humans her believers, so that she can gain power.

In order to ensure that the gods can receive religious offerings anytime and anywhere.
The Dawn Church was not allowed to close.
The lights are brightly lit day and night, and everyone can come in to worship at any time, confide their troubles to the gods, and deepen their connection with the gods.
So Li Zi slept here comfortably without anyone asking her to leave...
From time to time someone would come in and be startled by the girl lying on the bench.
But when people think that this is the realm of the God of Daydreams, and that sleeping people can more easily receive guidance from the gods in their dreams, they seem to understand.
But they wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
In any case, sleeping in front of a shrine is disrespectful.
Believers dare not risk being hated by the gods by praying for their mercy.
Many people recognized who the girl was.
Although Li Zi is not an aggressive person, the city lord loves his only daughter very much and brings her with him from time to time, making her a big presence.
She clearly had her own residence in the city lord's mansion, which was only a few minutes' walk away, so why did she sleep in the church?
With this idea in mind, many people went to find Li Jinyu and asked her to find a way to take care of the child.
It's quite cold when the night wind blows into the church, so at least you need to cover yourself with something.
But Li Jinyu thought for a long time and still ignored her.
The child won't live for many days, so she can do whatever she wants.
She would give Li Zi all her love and all her freedom and avoid conflicts with her.
As for the church deacon, the believers couldn't find her at all.
She worked all night under the watchful eyes of the angry girls and only went to bed at dawn.
After waking up, Li Zi thought she would feel sore all over, but apart from a stiff neck, she felt quite comfortable overall.
And when she fell asleep in the church, the gaze that was cast on her and that she could not get rid of suddenly disappeared.
It seemed that her spirit was relaxed.
Li Zi sat up and calmed down. Just as she was about to go out, she saw many people walking towards the church.
Looking closely, she saw that it was the same girls who were making a fuss about going to her bedroom to get something yesterday.
Everyone looked like they hadn't gotten enough sleep, with dark circles under their eyes, listless spirits, and forced yawns.
Seeing them so embarrassed, Li Zi actually wanted to laugh.
She had only seen elderly people on the verge of death before, who were reluctant to leave this world and were trying hard not to die.
I have never seen anyone who is living well but still goes to great lengths to rush towards death.
After seeing that it was her, the girls got excited again and started arguing with renewed energy.
"Is that Li Zi? I think it really is Li Zi. She's wearing the same clothes she wore yesterday! Her height and body shape are similar."
"Where is Li Zi?! I didn't expect her to be hiding in the church. We searched all night and couldn't find her. She's such a thief! The thought of someone like this becoming a carrier of the gods makes me want to vomit!"
Li Zi had anticipated that she would be scolded in the next few days.
What surprised her was that she also heard something mixed in.
Yao Xinyue's voice said, "Please stop talking. Li Zi doesn't know we're looking for her. I asked her where the five pieces of jewelry were before, and she answered."
She was still speaking for herself, which made Li Zi feel a little better.
Yao Xinyue is her best friend. Although there is a gap between them now, she still cares about her.
But a harsh voice still rang out, insisting: "But what's the use of having jewelry? The gods refuse to respond, and we dare not touch those things..."
Li Zi glanced at the girl and recognized her as Lin Zhu, the niece of the church deacon.
She never studied the scriptures well and always failed the tests. If it weren't for the protection of the deacon of the temple, she would have been kicked out of the team of candidate nuns long ago.
She couldn't help but sneer, and didn't bother to hide her mocking expression. She looked at Lin Zhu with an unfriendly look.
The latter immediately became furious and was about to rush over to argue with her.
But the church deacon happened to be late.
As soon as she arrived, everyone fell silent.
"Everyone's here, right?" The woman looked around first, then glanced at Li Zi. "Li Zi is here too. We agreed to change the sacrificer today, so let's get started."
Seeing the commotion below once again, she cleared her throat and said, "Before we start voting, I want to ask if you had any dreams yesterday. Did the Daydream God give you any guidance?"
Weekday morning services also include this process, so everyone perks up and wants to see if anyone is talking.
However, after three or five minutes, no one raised their hand.
The team of reserve nuns often changes according to the level of promotion or withdrawal of members, but generally remains at around thirty people.
Sometimes there are many people dreaming, and each person tells his or her story for five minutes, and this session can last for a full hour.
This is the first time in more than ten years that this session has been so quiet.
The deacons of the temple had been in office for many years and naturally knew that the god they believed in was very kind-hearted and would respond to any matter, big or small, as long as she was interested.
If other humans in the base pray devoutly ten times, they will hear the response from God once or twice.
The chance of a nun-in-training getting a response is doubled, and the chance of all nuns-in-training not dreaming is very low.
If you think about it, it seems like it never happened.
The expression on her face changed slightly, and her body couldn't help but tremble because of the fear in her heart.
The temple deacon couldn't help but start to wonder if the lack of response this time was a sign of the gods' arrival.
Are the gods they believe in angry because they want to change the sacrifices?
Li Zi raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that the god who made these people willing to sacrifice their lives did not respond to anyone's prayers last night.
But if you think about it carefully, these girls all look like they didn't sleep well and wasted the whole night.
I guess I didn’t even reach deep sleep, let alone dreaming.
Li Zi suddenly became playful, narrowed her eyes, and considered whether to raise her hand.
But what should you say after raising your hand?
She still needs to edit it.
The temple deacon on the stage showed a hesitant expression. She was thinking about whether to pause the process and start preparing the offerings and asking the Daydream God what he meant.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.
"I dreamed! I got a sign!"
When everyone looked closely, they saw that the person standing outside the door was Wan Fangfei, the nun in training who ranked first in all subjects.
But her condition at this moment was completely different from usual. She was wearing a nightgown and her hair was messy as if she had just woken up.
The girls came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream, and those who were close to her hurriedly ran over and pulled Wan Fangfei to the front.
She kept asking, "Fei Fei, where have you been? We were so busy yesterday and didn't see you!"
"Yes, you were here yesterday during dinner, but disappeared afterward. Was it because you weren't feeling well? I thought you'd asked the deacon for leave."
Wan Fangfei looked indifferently at the faces that seemed to have a good and intimate relationship with her.
She withdrew her hand, walked to Li Zi's side, and silently supported her.
The others didn't understand, but Li Zi was a little wary.
He was afraid that the girl would lose her mind again and pull out a dinner knife from somewhere and wave it in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Wan Fangfei raised her lips and smiled at her, her smile was gentle and friendly.
Then she raised her hand and said calmly, "I caught a cold by the lake yesterday, so I didn't come this morning. I was just recuperating in bed at home, thinking of writing in for sick leave later.
But I suddenly fell into a deep sleep and was pulled into a dream. The Daydream God told me personally that I should finish what I started and not be indecisive or change my attitude at will.
The scene from yesterday where Li Zi said she was a sacrifice reappeared, so I think the gods won't accept any other sacrifices except Li Zi!"
