I let the genie out of the bottle

The era he lived in was undoubtedly the mythological age. What happened during this era is now considered mythology by later generations.
The pressure he had just exerted on the sun god Ra was, in mythology, a force that caused the sun god to retreat. Therefore, he once again gained the ability to overcome the sun as an enemy of that element.
However... this is only better than nothing.
After all, he had acquired so many different abilities over such a long period of time that he could hardly count them all. Compared to the "Sun" attribute, his ability to counter the "God" attribute, having destroyed multiple pantheons, was even more terrifying.
These forces of restraint seem to be of little use, and can only be regarded as byproducts of one's experience with mythology.
"That follower of your pantheon has already left. I wonder how long you intend to stay in my Egypt?"
Seeing Lu Ye casually take away the offerings that the believers had given him, the corner of Ra's mouth twitched slightly, and he forced a smile.
Deities are relatively indifferent to food and drink, but that doesn't mean they would be happy to see their offerings taken by other gods.
If Ra hadn't known that even if the entire pantheon were combined, it probably wouldn't be able to defeat the opponent, then Ra would have already turned hostile.
"Are they trying to get rid of me?"
Lu Ye slowly peeled the sacrificial orange in his hand, speaking in a nonchalant tone.
Although Egypt has a dry climate, it is a country that produces fruit. However, things like fruit, which are not considered staple foods, are generally inaccessible to ordinary people. In general, fruit here is a luxury reserved for the nobility, or an offering to the gods.
“I wouldn’t dare,” Ra said, his face ashen. “In fact, you could stay here indefinitely if you wish.”
"Oh?" Lu Ye paused for a moment, then put a segment of orange into his mouth and made a sound of interest.
"I also have some understanding of the internal workings of the Bible's mythology. Although there haven't been large-scale wars between demons, fallen angels, and the heavens, the situation is tense. Under such circumstances, the human realm within the Bible can often be described as chaotic."
Lu Ye remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
“I have heard that you promised to send Abraham to Canaan, the most fertile land in the Bible, known as the land of milk and honey. But this time, Abraham came to Egypt because even the most prosperous Canaan suffered famine due to the war between the three nations.”
"Although I don't know why there is still chaos in the realm of the Bible with absolute power like you and the God of the Bible, I do know that Egypt is a far more comfortable place than the realm of the Bible right now. If you are willing to leave the Bible system and join the Egyptian pantheon, then I would naturally welcome you."
"Are you... recruiting?" Lu Ye silently finished the last segment of orange in his hand, raised his eyelids, and said in a surprised tone.
“Yes, if you are willing to join Egyptian mythology, I am willing to give you a status no less than mine,” Ra said expressionlessly.
However, Lu Ye could sense the sincerity in his tone.
In mythology, it seems not uncommon for people to break away from one mythology and join another.
Moreover, in Ra's view, in biblical mythology, the "Metatron" before him was ultimately not the one with the highest status.
Therefore, if a promise is made in the name of the highest position in mythology, the other party may very well agree.
In this way, even if he lost his supreme position in Egyptian mythology, it was still worth it.
After all, Egyptian mythology is far too weak in this world; it lacks any truly powerful figures.
Such a pantheon can only survive in the cracks between those truly powerful pantheons, trembling with fear.
So, Lu Ye stretched out his hand and slowly placed it on top of La Shen's head.
Then, open your palms.
The few pieces of orange peel he was clutching in his palm fell onto his head with a "thud".
“Sun God, Ra.” Lu Ye said softly, his tone devoid of any emotion.
Egyptian mythology—
"To be honest, it's just a myth that will be swept into the dustbin of history sooner or later. I don't know where it gets the confidence to try and win me over?"
Lu Ye smiled disdainfully, his tone making no attempt to hide his sarcasm.
Then, he stood up and drifted away.
La, or rather Atum, stood silently in place, a few pieces of orange peel falling from his head.
An indescribable resentment rose in his heart. But in the end, he could only suppress it silently.
In this world, Lu Ye could not possibly deviate from biblical mythology. The reason, of course, is that the biblical loli goddess in this world is both fragrant and soft… which is, of course, impossible.
The Bible is the world's most prestigious mythology. Even in the world before Lu Ye's transmigration, the Bible's mythology comprised two of the world's three major religions.
No myth in the world can rival the Bible in terms of influence.
As for Egyptian mythology... this mythology was truly kicked into the dustbin of history by the biblical system, and even in Egypt itself, apart from a few historians, very few people would be interested in learning about it.
Lu Ye had no interest in such a myth.
Even if he were to take the exam for a minor account, it should at least be one with a slightly higher value, right?
Abraham left Egypt and returned to Canaan. What happened afterward was largely the same as in the myth.
Abraham and his nephew Lot had a dispute with their respective herdsmen because they had too many cattle and sheep and not enough grazing land.
Abraham then proposed that they separate. Abraham let Lot choose a place first, and Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan River. He himself moved to live by the oak of Mamre in Hebron.
Abraham first had a son, Ishmael, with his concubine Hagar, and then had a son, Isaac, with his wife Sarah.
As time goes by, Abraham's influence on the world will continue to expand. When Abraham's life comes to an end, the world's faith in the God of the Bible will once again be united.
After that, Lot's residence gradually moved closer to Sodom, a famous city in the Bible.
A prosperous and wealthy city, but gradually corrupted by evil, notorious for its crimes, and thus destroyed!
P.S.: I posted the same thing twice before... I've corrected it now, it won't cost much.
Chapter Forty-Six: I am equal to God!
Lu Ye, who was sitting lazily on his throne in the Heavenly Realm, squinted his eyes, his gaze seemingly fixed on the distance.
This celestial position should rightfully belong to the God of the Bible, symbolizing the Lord's glory. However, as the Lord's appointed representative, Lu Ye naturally has the right to occupy this position.
Even if some angels were dissatisfied with this, they could only keep their dissatisfaction to themselves and dared not show it.
Moreover, to be honest, Lu Ye preferred staying in the Seventh Heaven rather than sitting on a throne before a multitude of angels in the Heavenly Realm. After all, that was where Saint resided.
There, even though Saint always appeared to be quietly cultivating, or perhaps forging divine artifacts, he could still hold the petite and adorable Goddess of the Bible in his arms. For a powerhouse of Saint's caliber, using divine power was far more convenient than physically controlling something. Therefore, whatever Lu Ye did wouldn't significantly affect Saint's business.
Being with a saint is far more comfortable and fulfilling than being in front of a group of angels.
Furthermore, he preferred walking among the angels in heaven to witnessing the changes in human civilization firsthand. The passage of time, the decline of dynasties, and the rise and fall of tribes were, to him, rare pleasures, or rather, seasonings, in his long life.
Although Lu Ye was not one to complain or wallow in self-pity, the passage of time gradually allowed him to gain a broader perspective on rise and fall, which can be considered a profound shift in his thinking.
"Your ideas are already extremely aligned with those of the immortal race," Mozlis said in his mind with a sigh.
"Otherwise what?" Lu Ye was noncommittal to this statement. "At this point, unless I am tired of life and seek my own death, or encounter an enemy that I cannot defeat, my lifespan is almost endless."
"In this situation, if I still cannot recognize my own position, and instead wallow in self-pity and try to imitate Daiyu burying flowers every day, that would be truly ridiculous."
"Yes, yes, yes." Mozlis responded to Lu Ye's statement in a somewhat lazy manner, and then ignored him.
No, it should be said that Mozlis simply changed her words and actions as Lu Ye's thoughts and mind gradually changed.
"Michael, you should still remember the famine in Canaan, right?"
Lu Ye rested one arm on the armrest of the throne, propping up his cheek, and looked down at Michael with indifferent eyes.
"Yes, we will remember it." As soon as Lu Ye finished speaking, an embarrassed look appeared on Michael's face.
Then, he lowered his head, his face filled with guilt and bitterness.
Besides Michael, many other angels present also showed expressions of remorse.
"That famine was caused by our poor performance in battle. In the chaos of fighting against demons and fallen angels, we failed to take care of the battlefield, which led to the devastation of the land and caused a great calamity in Canaan."
Michael confessed to his sins without reservation.
Compared to humans, angels, as direct creations of God, may possess superior intelligence, given their mythical nature and far superior physical attributes. However, in terms of their character, they are undeniably far more benevolent.
Angels would never try to evade responsibility or conceal their mistakes in the slightest.
"Canaan is the place promised to believers by the heavens, the most bountiful land in our realm."
Among the many angels, Uriel was known for his unyielding and upright character. Upon hearing this, he immediately glared angrily at Michael.
“Michael, you have brought shame upon the glory of the Lord by allowing such a calamity to occur in the land of abundance promised to believers in the name of the Lord!”
Michael did not refute his colleagues' accusations; he simply lowered his head, indicating that he was willing to take full responsibility.
“Your Excellency, the King of the Angels, who is closest to God,” Michael said, his gentle face showing no trace of the gloom that came with being reprimanded, only guilt. “Because I led my troops in battle in a disrespectful manner, bringing shame upon the Lord, I beg you to punish me.”
"There's no need." Lu Ye remained expressionless, seemingly unconcerned. "The crusade against demons and fallen angels is solely your business. If I were involved, the conflict between the three races could end overnight—but there's no need."
"Because if I were to take action and solve the problem for the Lord, then all the angels in the entire heaven would lose their meaning of existence."
Lu Ye was very clear about Michael's purpose. Although angels, as mythical beings, were indeed highly intelligent, they were far too innocent compared to Lu Ye.
The demons fought against the fallen angels and the angels, causing famine in Canaan. Ultimately, this was a war between the three races.
What this angel was thinking was that if Lu Ye punished him, it would be equivalent to participating in the war between the three races, and he would never be able to avoid the topic of demons and fallen angels in the future.
Michael even hoped that Lu Ye would punish him and strip him of his position. This would prevent Michael from continuing to lead the angels against demons and fallen angels under the Lord's command. Consequently, among the original angels of Heaven, there would be none more capable or valiant than Michael. Michael's punishment and dismissal would mean Heaven would be without anyone to rely on, forcing Lu Ye to personally confront the demons and fallen angels.
In this way, the disputes within the realm of the Bible can be put to an end.
However, Lu Ye's single sentence left him speechless.
If I were to personally solve all the problems for the Lord, then what would I need you for?
With that statement in mind, even if these angels wanted to ask Lu Ye to fight the demons and fallen angels, they couldn't bring themselves to do so. Unless, of course, they denied the meaning of their own existence. It must be understood that angels, as creations of God, exist solely to serve Him. If they lost this purpose, their existence would be meaningless.
Lu Ye, however, is different. He came from the earth, not from the God of the Bible.
Furthermore, among the angels below, several of the more intelligent ones gleaned a meaning from Lu Ye's words.
I have no need to serve Him. You angels are all His servants, but I am not.
I am equal to your Most High Lord, and we are of the same level.
Metatron is not merely close to God, but equal to God.
Chapter Forty-Seven: Judgment - Sodom!
Saint is the most powerful deity in this world. Even the Infinite Dragon God and the Great Red, whose theoretical strength surpasses Saint's, would have an uncertain outcome in a real fight.
However, as a pantheon under the God of the Bible, its strength is not that great. The Saint can easily defeat the strongest being of any pantheon, but if you compare the pantheons without their strongest beings, then the Celestial Realm under the Saint can only be considered mid-tier.
Well, it simply can't compare to pantheons like Hindu mythology or Norse mythology. After all, unlike other pantheons, the angels in the biblical pantheon, who obey the saint, were truly created by the saint himself. Furthermore, the fall of many fallen angels further weakened its power.
Of course, even so, under the leadership of the Saint, the Celestial Realm is undeniably the strongest.
However, Lu Ye previously said that if he were to take action, all the angels would lose their meaning of existence, which meant that he was saying without any scruples that his strength surpassed the sum of all the angels in the heavenly realm.
While some of the lower-ranking angels might be indignant at this statement, people like Michael kept their heads down and remained silent, seemingly ashamed.
After all, these high-ranking angels knew that Abraham had taken a follower of biblical mythology to Egypt, a place right under the noses of the Egyptian pantheon, to escape famine.
They also knew that Lu Ye's solo journey to the Egyptian pantheon had caused the entire pantheon to lose face, leaving Abraham to travel freely in his own country.
While the Egyptian pantheon isn't the most powerful in this world, it's still considered mid-tier. If their overall strength is combined, excluding the Celestial Realm of the Lord and Lu Ye, they truly wouldn't be able to defeat them.
Lu Ye was able to subdue the opponent on his own. Although they didn't know exactly how it happened, they could at least get a sense of Lu Ye's strength.
Now they realized that Lu Ye's ability to become the Prime Minister of Heaven and succeed the Lord was not solely due to the Lord's favor. Or rather, it wasn't simply because he was a kept man.
Of course, this also means they were unaware of what Lu Ye had done across the entire world during the great flood.
At that time, Saint stirred up the flood within the scope of the Bible, while Lu Ye was responsible for the area outside the Bible. In this way, the three races of the Bible mythology could only feel the power belonging to Saint through the flood, and were completely unaware of Lu Ye's major actions.
Otherwise, knowing that a powerful figure like Lu Ye was staying in the Heavenly Realm, the demons and fallen angels would probably be even more afraid and act more cautiously.
And Michael and the other angels wouldn't have been so flustered when Abraham fled to Egypt to escape famine.
"Yes, I understand. We will handle the battle against demons and fallen angels ourselves, so we won't trouble you," Michael said with a wry smile.
Ever since he sensed Lu Ye's power, he had been hoping that Lu Ye would take action to deal with the fallen angels and demons. However, he didn't expect that before he could even voice his request, Lu Ye had already preemptively shut him down.
"Hmm." Lu Ye simply nodded, his face revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
In fact, just to "experience" the destruction of demons and fallen angels and gain more abilities to target them, he wouldn't mind taking matters into his own hands and unifying the biblical divine system.
However, since Saint is unwilling to interfere in what she truly wants to do, Lu Ye naturally wouldn't risk conflict with Saint over such a trivial matter, lest he lose more than he gains.
However, if the entire demon race were wiped out at this point, would there still be any female protagonists or similar characters in the future?
Lu Ye thought about the question for a moment, then realized that he was worrying unnecessarily.
