The altar was completed in a few months. Saya stood on it and looked at the tiny creatures under the tower.

The weather was nice today, and Saya raised her hand to feel the breeze brushing against her cheek.

The altar was very high, and the man standing there seemed to be carried away by the wind.

Alvin didn't know why, but he felt very uneasy.

He glanced at Philbert, who was still grinning as he ran over and hugged him.

She scratched his waist with her hand and said, "Saya, you didn't eat well again, your waist has become thinner."

Philbert didn't get the caramel chestnuts he was expecting, and he tilted his head in confusion.

Hey, Saya didn’t hit him this time!

Saya ruffled his hair, with an emotion in her eyes that he couldn't understand.

"Don't get into so much trouble in the future. If everyone is gone, you have to learn to take on the responsibility on your own."

Philbert didn't know why he felt sad, as if something was missing.

His voice was unconsciously a little panicked, "Why are you saying this? Isn't everyone fine?"

He hugged Saya tightly, and the warmth of the person in his arms gradually calmed him down.

Alvin's feeling became more and more obvious, and he ran up, the wind blowing his hair, and he grabbed the man's wrist.

"Today's ceremony is cancelled. I don't think it's right."

Saya glanced at Alvin and whispered to Philbert, "You go down first. I want to talk to Alvin."

Philbert twisted his arm and refused to let go. Saya kicked him and said, "Why is this kid so twisted?"

The familiar feeling came back, and Philbert finally let go, looking back every few steps eagerly.

"After the ceremony, let's go back and eat hot pot. It's been a while since we've eaten together."

"Come down early and just fool around a bit. They won't be able to tell!"

"Now that the ceremony is over, you won't be running around."

"Don't run around, wait for me to come up and pick you up!"

……

The little brat finally went down, and when Saya met Alvin's eyes, he knew he couldn't pretend anymore.

"Something is being hidden from us."

"I see."

Alvin's usually gentle face was tense at this moment, and his lips were pressed into a straight line.

Saya pulled his face and said, "It seems that you are not as good-looking when you are not smiling as when you are pretending to smile."

"But don't pretend. People would rather see you laugh because you want to laugh."

"If people can't even laugh freely, it would be too frustrating."

He hugged him gently and said, "I'll trouble you to take care of him in the future. Although there may be some troubles when raising a baby, it's still very joyful."

Elwin's hands clenched and he felt panicky.

People can feel when a big event is about to happen.

"Let's stop doing this, okay? Let's go back."

He looked at his long snow-white hair fluttering in the wind. Alvin's eyes were a little red, while Philbert below was still waving at them, not knowing what was going on.

"What about Philbert? He will make a fuss. Are you going to ignore him?"

Alvin heard the person in front of him chuckle and felt the cool fingertips on his face slowly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Just cry for a while. I don't belong to him, nor do I belong to you, so you just need to be sad for a while."

"Just think of me as going away."

"Why can't I stop..."

Saya received the system notification sound and patted his hands to signal.

"If I don't let go, my spiritual power will be completely dissipated."

"Okay, it's okay. Go downstairs and keep Philbert company. Remember to keep an eye on him later."

No one asked the reason, but they all knew that this was a real farewell.

When parting, Saya felt a sense of separation in his eyes, and he sighed.

Well, before I leave, I have to be taken advantage of again.

The wind lifted up Saya's wide clothes, and a large dark cloud quickly gathered in the sky that was cloudless just now, and Saya was suspended in the air.

Accompanied by thunderclouds and lightning, Saya was surrounded by a bright white light, as if shielding everything in the world around her.

At this moment he was like a real god.

Everyone in the audience held their breath and dared not breathe.

"I offer my entire body's spiritual energy as a sacrifice, my flesh and blood as an offering, and pray for good weather, peace and prosperity for all."

The light tone, along with the thunder, shook everyone's mind.

It was not until the bean-sized raindrops hit everyone's faces that people reacted.

It's raining.

Thunder and lightning roared, and the dark clouds at this time were more like black clouds, and the black clouds pressed down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

The altar collapsed with a loud rumbling sound, surrounded by thunder, children crying, and some people whispering curses.

"It's raining, why did the platform collapse?"

"How can a god bring disaster? This is simply a strange phenomenon from heaven."

"Look at this day. If you don't know, you would think it's the end of the world."

Philbert just rushed to the collapsed platform area, and when he heard the whispers of the people around him, his eyes turned red and he grabbed the other person's collar and punched him.

He was like a madman, beating up everyone present who had said something bad about Saya. The guards beside him tried to pull him back, but he just kept waving his fists and yelling at everyone.

Elwin stood in the ruins, soaked by the rain. He opened his arms and looked at the white robe flying down from the sky. He took it sincerely with both hands and held it tightly in his arms.

After a while, a phoenix cry resounded through the sky, and the surrounding dark clouds dispersed in two directions. The dazzling white light made it impossible for everyone present to open their eyes.

The white light seemed to cover the entire sky and earth, as if they were about to merge into one.

And when everyone opened their eyes again, the weather was getting warmer, the days were getting longer, and it was spring.

……

It was not until the next few decades, when the surrounding countries suffered extreme climate disasters and this land remained calm and clear, that everyone truly realized that the National Master really existed.

The collapsed altar has become a place of national worship. Every citizen passing by the main city will come here to kowtow. Even envoys from other countries will come here to worship to bless their hometown with good weather, peace and prosperity.

Hundreds of years can change everything, change a country, change the residents here, but no matter how the situation changes, what he, Saya, is protecting is this land.

Anyone who takes root in this land will receive the blessing of Master Saya.

Later, when children heard this story, they would ask, why did the altar collapse when the national teacher offered sacrifices?

The older generation would say, "Because the gods are gone, the altars no longer exist."
