I let the genie out of the bottle

The fact that the Lord he believed in had not appeared for so long was only because he could sense that the system under the Lord's control was not abnormal, because a divine artifact would be thrown to the human world from time to time during the seventh day, and because he firmly believed that no one in the world could endanger the Lord's life.

Therefore, the angels led by Michael must have already begun to suspect that something might have happened to the Lord.

"Since Abraham is to be allowed into Egypt, shouldn't our glorious Lord grant him refuge?"

The one who spoke was Gabriel, one of the four archangels of Heaven. Known as the "most beautiful woman in Heaven," she had a gentle personality, long golden hair, and an attractive beauty and figure.

She, usually so gentle, rarely spoke; her golden eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her words revealed worry. This worry wasn't just about a devout human being, but also about the fact that her faith hadn't revealed itself for so long.

However, before entering the seventh day, Saint had instructed that these angels were not to disturb her, and that all matters should be handled by Metatron. Therefore, even if these angels had many thoughts in their minds, they could only obediently comply.

What a pity, it wasn't some useless angel.

Lu Ye glanced at Gabriel, then looked away and slowly stood up.

As the supreme leader of a pantheon, Saint's long period of seclusion cannot be without reason.

The reason for this is that Lu Ye used his worldview to directly influence the course of this world, which ultimately fed back to Saint, causing her to unconsciously choose to retreat into the background.

In this way, the entire heavenly realm was under the control of Metatron, and it can be said that in the Bible, he had a position no less than that of the Lord.

"Egypt... They survived that great flood."

As Lu Ye spoke, a somewhat stiff smile appeared on his face, and his tone revealed a hint of cruelty.

Behind him, blazing platinum flames surged on his seventy-two wings, releasing an intense sense of oppression.

"In that case, I'll go to Egypt myself. I'll escort this glorious human being on his journey to Egypt, what do you say?"

As he spoke, his face became majestic and holy, seemingly containing some unspeakable law, causing the angels to involuntarily avert their gaze, as if it would be a desecration to insist on looking at his face.

So, as always, all the angels bowed their heads in obedience.

"The God of the Bible, the God of the Bible, humanity that believes in the God of the Bible..." A bizarre creature with a falcon's head and a human body, a sun disc on its head and a snake coiled on the disc, muttered incessantly, "It has entered my Egypt..."

"It's clearly your own territory, yet you can't even support your own faith. God of the Bible, it seems you're truly powerless to look after others right now. The only thing you need to worry about is that guy who caused the great flood that swept the world back then; I wonder if he's still on the side of God of the Bible."

The one speaking is Ra, the supreme god of Egyptian mythology and the sun god!

“Then, let me test this human believer.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than another voice rang out.

"Oh? What are you trying to test?"

The person who appeared in front of La was an ordinary-looking human.

P.S.: To those who are keen on making and distributing pirated copies of this book, could you please leave me alone? My family is really struggling. My mother has breast cancer and chemotherapy costs 14,000 yuan a month. My father's job is also unstable, and all three of our children are in school. You guys are doing this... sigh.

Chapter 43 Do you still need believers where you are?

"You are......?"

Upon seeing the figure before him, the sun god, Ra, its sharp eyes on its eagle head twitched slightly, its slender beak opened abruptly, and waves of transparent heat emanated from its body.

The guy who suddenly appeared in front of me looked just like an ordinary human being, at most he seemed to have the protection of a god, and looked like the power of the God of the Bible.

At first glance, he almost thought that this was just a believer of the God of the Bible.

"Who are you?" A hint of wariness flashed in Ra's eyes, but he still questioned in a voice full of authority.

Although he didn't seem threatening at first glance, he didn't really believe that the guy in front of him was just an ordinary human. Even his enemy, Appepp, might not be able to appear in front of him so silently.

Thinking of this, Ra's vigilance intensified. His sharp eagle eyes shone brightly, and the golden-red feathers on his eagle head spread out, radiating intense light and heat, as if he could launch a full-force attack on his enemy at any moment.

"I should have seen you."

Lu Ye calmly took a few steps forward, casually looking at the Egyptian sun god in front of him with a sense of novelty in his eyes.

This gaze made Ra, who was always the supreme being of the pantheon, feel extremely uncomfortable. However, since he was unsure of the other party's strength, he could not retaliate for the time being and could only silently suppress his displeasure.

If he survives to the next generation, he will understand that this gaze is like that of a tourist looking at a monkey in a zoo.

"Back then, even though you tried to appear calm, you couldn't hide the fear in your heart. You couldn't see any dignity as the center of the pantheon." Lu Ye said in a tone that seemed somewhat sentimental, but inexplicably made Ra feel extremely mocked.

"You're much more mature now."

"You—" Rashen's sharp eagle eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly came to his senses, his tone unconsciously carrying shock and a barely perceptible fear, "It was you? The Flood Summoner!"

Flood attractors?

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected to have such an awkward-sounding title in Egypt. Could it be the same in other pantheons?

"I didn't expect you to come here in person, just for that believer who wandered in here by mistake?"

La Shen shook the crimson feathers on the eagle's head, his attitude becoming noticeably more humble, and asked in a somewhat submissive tone.

Among the gods who spontaneously gathered during the Great Flood was Ra, the core of the Egyptian pantheon and the sun god.

With so many gods from different pantheons gathered together, they could only silently watch as Lu Ye unleashed a great flood that threatened the entire world. Now, facing Lu Ye alone, they were naturally even more worried about angering him.

It's important to understand that during that great flood, the entire Egyptian mythology, which was constantly embroiled in internal strife, surprisingly set aside its grudges and was able to survive the ordeal.

"Yes, what he did in Egypt could not be stopped by any man or god."

Lu Ye looked at the supreme Egyptian god before him and declared in a calm tone.

This condescending tone immediately caused the eagle feathers on the head of the sun god to tremble slightly, like an enraged rooster.

"So, what exactly does this believer want to do in Egypt?" Ra seemed to exhale slightly, suppressing his anger, and asked.

As he spoke, his strange-looking eagle head slowly transformed into the head of a strong and handsome middle-aged man.

“He was merely passing through.” Lu Ye’s expression remained unchanged as he glanced at Ra and continued, “However, he is a symbol of our glory, spreading our faith across the land. Therefore, it is not surprising if some people in Egypt convert to our faith.”

To directly tell a god that you want to steal his faith.

If he hadn't known he was no match for Lu Ye, La Shen would probably have already fought him to the death. But at this moment, even though he was filled with resentment, he could only suppress his anger.

Regarding the anger in La Shen's heart... Lu Ye could only say, very well.

After all, there might be times in the future when Egypt as a whole needs to play the villain. What if we don't establish enmity early on, and then all of Egypt puts on a friendly and benevolent facade?

Therefore, the only solution at this point is to make Ra resent him.

Of course, there was another reason, which was that he found it quite amusing that Ra, the supreme god of the Egyptian pantheon, dared not speak out against his anger.

“I understand. I will now send a divine message to my people in Egypt, instructing them to allow Abraham to travel freely in Egypt.”

Allowing followers of other pantheons, or rather, missionaries, to travel freely within one's own land is something that probably no god would want to see.

However, circumstances were beyond human control. Faced with Lu Ye's oppression, Ra could only swallow his anger and let Abraham, representing the biblical pantheon, walk across the land of Egypt and bewitch the Egyptian people.

"There's no need for you to issue a divine decree; it's best not to trouble yourself with such matters."

Lu Ye glanced at La Shen and refused without expression.

"I feel bad about troubling you too much. I can handle this myself."

Deliver your divine oracle to my believers?

Upon hearing this, La Shen immediately revealed an ugly expression, as if he had swallowed a fly.

Egypt was his territory, and all the people of Egypt, from the pharaoh to the slaves, should be his followers.

Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. However, Lu Ye acted recklessly in his own territory, and La Shen was helpless against it.

This fact made La Shen feel quite aggrieved.

When Abraham arrived in Egypt, he was indeed captured by the Egyptians. Pharaoh saw that Abraham's wife was beautiful and wanted to marry her.

This is also related to Abraham's practice of addressing his wife as his brother to avoid the Egyptians ruining his life because of her beauty.

Seeing this, under the watchful eye of Ra, Lu Ye unhesitatingly brought disaster upon Pharaoh's family to bring him to his senses. In the end, the Pharaoh wisely sent Abraham's family away and gave them a lot of wealth.

"And please let your gods protect me and my children." This was the request the Pharaoh of Egypt made to Abraham as he was leaving.

The fact that the Egyptian gods who protected him remained unmoved, while the gods who protected Abraham brought disaster upon him, led him to believe that the gods of the biblical system were more reliable than the Egyptian gods.

As a result, Ra's already gloomy face became even more somber.

Chapter 44 If you can't beat them, join them!

As Abraham roamed freely in his territory amidst Pharaoh's farewell, Ra merely watched with a somber expression.

In Egypt, the pharaoh is considered the son of Ra. However, the sight of his chosen pharaoh smiling at pagan mythology makes Ra feel as if he has been slapped in the face.

They run rampant on your territory, and you, as the ruler of a country, just let it go? Do you have no dignity left as a ruler?

Previously, Lu Ye had directly unleashed divine punishment upon the Pharaoh of Egypt.

As the Pharaoh of Egypt, it was only natural for him to favor his own pantheon and make things difficult for other religions. His detention of Abraham was, in itself, an attempt to appease his own gods.

If a mortal can gain the favor of the gods, not only can they further solidify their position, but they may even have the opportunity to obtain so-called immortality with the help of the gods.

However, unexpectedly, instead of receiving divine reward, they encountered misfortune and were punished by heretical gods.

Thus, even if this pharaoh was unaware of the mythological conflict, he knew that his own god was no match for the opposing god. After all, no matter what, a pharaoh who could become a pharaoh in this situation was no fool.

In this way, this intelligent man naturally knew what he should do. Faced with life, so-called faith is nothing but nonsense.

“Abraham, my brother, my good brother.”

Standing at the palace gate, the ancient Egyptian pharaoh held Abraham's hand affectionately, his face showing reluctance to part, and his eyes slightly moist.

At this point, in the Pharaoh's words, Abraham was already closer than his blood brothers.

Moreover, upon noticing Abraham's devout faith, Pharaoh even took the initiative to ask Abraham about the biblical system and to learn about the Lord whom Abraham revered. As a result, even Abraham almost mistakenly thought that this Pharaoh really wanted to convert to Christianity, and it was not long before he realized that he had other motives.

“Abraham, Egypt is a land of plenty, with granaries overflowing, cattle and sheep grazing everywhere, and its people unaware of famine. In terms of wealth, it may be the richest place in the world.” Pharaoh tugged at Abraham’s sleeve and earnestly advised, “My good brother, if you leave Egypt, where else can you find food and pleasures comparable to those of Egypt?”

The Pharaoh earnestly tried to persuade Abraham to stay. Logically, he should have harbored intense hatred for Abraham, a pagan believer and missionary. After all, Egypt at that time was essentially a theocratic state. The Pharaoh, as the ruler, was also the highest priest serving the gods.

However, this pharaoh did not seem to be so devout to the Egyptian gods. Realizing that the Egyptian gods could not protect him from foreign gods, he naturally began to harbor ulterior motives.

For him, it would be a good thing to cultivate a good relationship with Abraham, a follower of a powerful foreign god, no matter what.

After all, while the Pharaoh was the supreme leader of the country, this only applied when the gods were not involved. Any ambitious ruler would not tolerate a group of inexplicable gods wielding power above him. The discovery of a powerful foreign god meant that he might be able to use the Pharaoh's name as a pretext to break free from the control of these gods.

During the long period that Abraham reigned in Egypt, the Egyptian gods never reacted in the slightest. This made the pharaoh realize that while the gods above him were indeed extremely powerful to mortals like himself, they were equally weak in every other respect.

Even a superficial relationship with Abraham would be enough to make the gods above him hesitate to act against him. Therefore, this Pharaoh was making every effort to establish a connection with Abraham, or at least cultivate a friendly relationship with him.

His invitation to Abraham to stay was merely a pretense after confirming Abraham's decision to leave, hoping that his actions would increase Abraham's favor towards him.

In other words, the Pharaoh, the spiritual leader of Egyptian mythology, has gradually become like Abraham, a sycophant of the biblical pantheon.

“In my opinion, Abraham, you should stay here and spread the name of the Lord in my land of Egypt. Then your brother will be the Pharaoh of Great Egypt, and you will be the Pharaoh of Lesser Egypt. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

The Pharaoh spoke slowly in a highly seductive tone.

“Your Majesty, there’s no need.” Abraham hurriedly waved his hands repeatedly, somewhat flustered, and refused.

During this time, the Pharaoh's praise made him feel somewhat smug. But even so, he never forgot where the respect he received came from.

For Abraham, obeying the divine decree was of paramount importance. Therefore, no matter how high the Pharaoh's terms were, he would absolutely not accept them.

“My brother, though we are not related by blood, our bond is stronger than blood ties. Why then do you refuse?” Upon hearing Abraham’s refusal, Pharaoh sighed, shook his head slightly, and showed a rather regretful expression.

Although the previous statement about co-ruling with Abraham was merely a polite way of putting it, this Pharaoh didn't actually find it so unacceptable.

After all, if it were Abraham, even if he accepted the request for joint rule, he probably wouldn't care about any important matters concerning the country. In that case, he would effectively still be the sole ruler of Egypt, and he would have fewer Egyptian gods over him.

"Although Egypt is a good place for me, it is not a place where I should stay for long. I should follow the will of the Lord and Metatron and go to the place where I am meant to go."

Abraham said solemnly.

“I see, my brother. You are indeed a devout follower of the Lord.” Upon hearing these words, Pharaoh immediately showed a deeply moved expression, as if he was touched by what Abraham had done in pursuit of the Lord’s command.

Seeing Pharaoh's humble demeanor and beaming smile as he faced Abraham, Ra wished he could strike and slap both Pharaoh and Abraham to death.

but--

Sensing the threatening gaze from the side, La Shen stiffened his movements, turned his head with difficulty, and gave Lu Ye a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Chapter 45 Your destiny is the dustbin of history

"Has the special attack targeting the sun been intensified once again?"

Lu Ye clenched his fist and casually glanced at the sun god Ra beside him.
