" Me, the eleventh priest?"
" What about the stone bridge?!"
Grandpa Shi Caiqiao was the current 10th Divine Official. He was a very amiable person and had hugged Liu Chen when he was young.
But now that he was asked to become the 11th Divine Official, Stone Bridge Grandpa was probably no longer able to do it.
"Grandpa Stone Bridge has passed away!”
Sure enough, everything was as Liu Chen had expected. Shi Cunqiao's grandfather was 89 years old, and he should have passed away. Although Liu Chen was a little sad, he was not too sad.
Grandpa Stone Bridge was already old and should have passed away. He was happy. In this era where gods fought for hegemony, in this era where people were inferior to grass, dying of old age was an extremely difficult thing, but it was also the happiest way to die.
In this era, some were killed by wild beasts, some were killed by bandits, some were killed by gods because they touched taboos, and some were killed by despair because of illness.
For these people, dying of old age was really a blessing. At least he had finished his life.
"Is that so? I know! Mother!"
Liu Chen knew everything but he didn't say anything. He just calmly accepted everything!
Furthermore, Liu Chen was unable to refuse. This was the rule of this place, and Liu Chen did not have the ability to violate it.
Otherwise, not only would he suffer, but his mother would also be despised by everyone. It would be difficult for her to survive here.
"Liu Chen, if you're unwilling, we can leave this place together.”
Her mother did not want her only son to be dragged to become a priest and follow the temperamental God.
How could Liu Chen not know his mother's worries? The people of this world feared, respected, and even feared the gods. No one was willing to stay by the side of the gods. To serve the gods was like serving the ancient emperors. Accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. It was almost the same principle.
"Mother, don't worry! Grandpa Stone Bridge had also served God for more than 70 years, but he was still fine.”
In fact, Liu Chen really wanted to become a Divine Official. After all, according to what he knew, these people who became Divine Officials actually lived very stable lives until the end. In this cruel world, this was already very rare.
Liu Chen only wanted to live past the age of 20. In this cruel world, Liu Chen did not know when he would encounter an accident.
Therefore, Liu Chen needed a relatively safe place to ensure his own safety.
"But…"
However, as a mother, how could she be at ease when she entered the tiger's den? She was definitely worried.
"Don't worry, Mother! Besides, Lord Suwa was also very cute!”
Liu Chen tried to ease his mother's worries by saying something light, but his words had the opposite effect.
"What did you say, Liu Chen! The Lord God is not an existence that you can imagine!”
His mother was extremely afraid. Liu Chen also knew that he had misspoken. In this world that was extremely afraid of gods, his words were enough to sentence him to death.
"I'm sorry, Mother! I misspoke!"
Liu Chen lowered his head and apologized. His mother kept kowtowing to beg for forgiveness. After about a minute, Liu Chen's mother stood up.
"Liu Chen, don't say such things in the future, understand?”
"Got it!"
The two of them returned to the previous topic.
"Liu Chen, do you really want to be a Divine Priest? Don't think about me, tell me your answer!”
"Yes, Mother. I want to be a priest. I have my own considerations!”
"I see! Fine!"
Liu Chen's mother nodded in the end. She believed in her child's choice. Her child had his own thoughts, and she had no right to interfere. She only needed to support and help him.
"Thank you, Mother!"
Liu Chen was very grateful to have such a good mother. He was clearly not her biological son, but why was she still so good to him!
Liu Chen could not figure it out, but he knew that the bond between him and his mother could only disappear after one of them died.
"Since you have already decided, then prepare yourself. Tomorrow, the village chief will look for you and teach you about serving God!”
"I know. Mother!"
Liu Chen also began to eat again, but his mind was still thinking about the appearance of Lord Suwa.
As the patron saint of this country, he must have appeared in this country before. Liu Chen was also fortunate enough to witness the face of this god.
Her shoulder-length blonde hair fluttered in the air, and her fair skin looked like an elf under the moonlight. She was wearing purple-and-white clothes that suited this era but seemed slightly better than the natives. Her slightly longer hair was tied with a red rope, and she wore a strange high hat with frog eyes on her head.
She was a girl full of unique, mysterious beauty.
That's right, it was a girl. In Liu Chen's eyes, this god was a ten-year-old little girl.
Small and cute! However, it exuded a terrifying majesty, and no one dared to look directly at it.
"In the future, will I become the divine officer of this god?”
Liu Chen thought without any fear or expectation. All he wanted was to complete this test as soon as possible.
However, Liu Chen did not know that his story with God had only just begun.
