Chapter 680 [Satan heard it.]

The temple of the Deep Sea Empire is located southwest of the imperial capital.

This area is under the jurisdiction of the royal palace and is guarded by the royal family. It is not open to the public except for the annual sacrificial ceremony.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated when the carriage stopped at the entrance of the temple.

This is a hill in the imperial city, not high, with every stone step bearing the marks of time.

After getting out of the car, Yu Zhizhi reverted to her animalistic state.

She followed behind the high priest, slowly climbing the steps.

Because there are few people, this place is exceptionally quiet.

It was precisely because there were few people that Yu Zhizhi chose this place. She couldn't very well drag the high priest along for a walk, could she?
Upon arriving at the temple grounds, the guards of the Beast God's homeland halted their advance.

There were only two figures, one in front and one behind, on this long staircase.

Yu Zhizhi gradually felt a little tired.

This hill doesn't look very high, but I didn't expect it to take so long to climb...

She lifted her skirt with both hands and walked slower and slower.

The high priest, however, showed no intention of waiting for her.

The distance between them gradually increased. In the end, the high priest had completely disappeared from her sight.

Yu Zhizhi: "..."

If I had known it would be this tiring, I wouldn't have come to the temple!
Yu Zhizhi rested and walked around for a while, and finally finished walking down the seemingly endless staircase.

She saw the high priest standing atop the long steps, panting as she approached him; finally, she saw the legendary temple.

The temple gate is made of a single piece of ebony wood, with strange techniques of relief carving and inlay, depicting a scene of animals paying homage.

Arriving here, I suddenly felt a sense of peace.

On the Beast World planet, temples are not found everywhere. Each empire has only one, dedicated to the Beast God.

Surprisingly, there is no temple in the homeland of the Beast God.

"Is this the temple dedicated to the beast god? This is my first time here," Yu Zhizhi murmured.

The door was surprisingly easy to push open, as if a hand was helping to pull it open from the inside.

The light dimmed abruptly, then began to seep down from above.

The dome is a rare coffered ceiling, but instead of lotus flowers, the layers of converging brackets are painted with a pattern of an ouroboros encircling a tai chi symbol.

A skylight is opened in the very center, and at noon, the beam of light will be precisely projected onto the xiezhi pattern on the third brick in front of the shrine. At this moment, there is only a cool, dewy white light that cuts diagonally through the darkness.

Yu Zhizhi felt inexplicably nervous. After entering the temple, she was extremely cautious in every word and action.

—Beast God.

She silently recited it in her heart.

Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but search around, but couldn't find any sandalwood.

The high priest stood in the middle of the temple, looking at a piece of upright wood in front of him. This was the wood of the beast god, and all the temples worshipped this object.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the little female rabbit had already put her hands together and respectfully performed a deep bow.

Then, she closed her eyes, as if making a wish.

Yu Zhizhi's attitude was very devout.

She had finally made it to the temple, so she was bound to make a wish.

Opening her eyes, she felt the gaze on her side. She tilted her head back and met the high priest's eyes.

The scrutinizing gaze remained unchanged.

Yu Zhizhi has gotten used to it.

She smiled at the high priest: "My wish has been made. Would you like to make a wish?"

The high priest looked away and said calmly, "I don't believe in that."

Yu Zhizhi was stunned.

In her understanding of this world, the Beast God is a deity revered by all beast races, which is why every empire builds a temple and holds annual sacrifices.

Moreover, isn't the hometown of the Beast God the birthplace of the Beast God?
For generations, they have been guarding the tombstone of the Beast God.

The High Priest is the ruler of the homeland of the Beast God.

But he said—he didn't believe in that?

Yu Zhizhi had many questions in her mind, but she didn't ask them. She just softly said "Oh".

She touched her nose a little shyly.

Actually, she didn't particularly believe in the Beast God.

Making a wish was just something I did while I was already there.

As for whether she has any particular deity she believes in?
Not that.

People don't worship gods unless there's a problem, but when something really happens, they have to worship all the gods in the world.

It's a kind of psychological comfort, I suppose.

Moreover, from a very young age, Yu Zhizhi knew that making wishes was useless. Whether it was her illness or her father's death...

Yu Zhizhi sighed softly to herself.

She made a wish. No divine response.

The system, which hadn't been seen for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Host, have you forgotten? Your wish has been granted."

……what?
Yu Zhizhi looked slightly taken aback.

System: [On the day you were about to die, your wish was to live.]

Yu Zhizhi vaguely remembered.

seems like it.

However, too much time had passed, and her consciousness was blurred as she was on the verge of death.

I felt extremely upset and wronged.

I also really want to live.

She made a wish.

I just want a chance to survive...

In the very end, she seemed to hear a single word.

【it is good. 】

Yu Zhizhi's pupils changed slightly. She felt as if an electric current had entered her body, and her whole body was suddenly shocked.

Could it be—

Was it because of this wish she made before she died that she became bound to the system?
So she transmigrated to a beast-world planet?!

'I thought…' Yu Zhizhi murmured to herself, 'that no god heard my wish.'

System: [The gods have not heard your wish.]

System: [Satan heard you.]

Wishes that the gods cannot hear.

The demon heard it.

Therefore, you need to surrender your soul.

Yu Zhizhi's hands, clasped together at her chest, trembled slightly. She had wondered why she was bound to the system, but she never expected it would be because of a thought, a wish, that flashed through her mind on the verge of death.

The high priest realized that something was wrong with the little female beside him.

She seemed to be immersed in her own world.

They forgot everything around them.

"What did you wish for?" the high priest suddenly asked.

What wish could make her gaze so devoutly at the Beast God Tree?

Yu Zhizhi's gaze gradually focused, and she realized that she was standing in the temple, "on a date" with the high priest.

She pulled herself out of the shock of the news, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the people beside her: "I hope... you will all be safe and sound."

The high priest's tone remained unchanged: "Us?"

He stared intently at the little female rabbit in front of him: "Including me?"

Yu Zhizhi nodded gently.

Of course.

She spoke without the slightest hesitation, and with perfect naturalness.

The high priest looked away: "I hope that in the future, when you think back on this day, you won't regret it."

Regret?

Why the regret?
Yu Zhizhi was puzzled and wanted to ask, but then she heard a noise outside.

"Lord Shenhe! What brings you here?"

Shen He?

He came to the temple too?

Yu Zhizhi then realized that the person You Sen was referring to this morning was Shen He!

This is part of his itinerary!

Yu Zhizhi initially thought that You Sen had seen the letter she wrote to the High Priest...

A chill ran down her spine. The last time they met, Lord Shenhe had told her to stay away from the High Priest, saying he wasn't a good person. If he saw her like this…

Yu Zhizhi didn't think much of it and quickly hid behind the temple.

She crawled under the offering table, where a thick tablecloth covered her.

When she realized what she had done, she felt it was very inappropriate!
I didn't do anything with the high priest...

I'm just here to visit the temple.

Her act of hiding made it seem as if she had done something shameful.

Yu Zhizhi's cheeks were burning hot. She wanted to get out again, but it was too late.

The temple doors were pushed open from the outside.

See you tomorrow~
