Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 181 Offerings to the Sun God
As soon as he entered the manor, Senette realized that his thorough preparations had indeed been correct.

Just by looking at the other people in the distance, the daughters of other high priests, and even the wives of other high priests... just by looking at their jeweled clothes and the dazzling array of colors, Senette was certain that these people were exactly as she had imagined.

Clearly, everyone had the same idea: to prove their charm by conquering the sun god.

Many of the priests themselves were dressed in a rather... seductive manner. Although their clothes looked quite formal and they stood very upright, Sennett could still tell that they also wanted to gain the favor of the sun god.

"This is the sun god..."

Senette couldn't help but exclaim.

Yes, that's the allure of gods. Even if no one has ever seen a god, even if a god merely bestows their will upon a mortal, the very name of that god is enough to drive everyone mad.

"However... you will see."

Taking a deep breath, Sennett reaffirmed his conviction.

"You will see the moment when the gods go mad for me."

Just as Sennet was thinking this, the sun god appeared.

Of course, the first to appear was not the sun god, but the war priest Matt Perry. This burly giant was already the center of everyone's attention just by standing there—calm and solemn, these were the hallmarks of Matt Perry. When this giant appeared, the people who were whispering immediately fell silent.

However, at this very moment, the war priest, who was the focus of everyone's attention, stepped aside.

Not only did he step aside, but the war priest even knelt on one knee, symbolizing both his loyalty to the god and to ensure that he was not taller than the god himself.

After the powerful giant knelt down, the humanoid figure radiating endless light finally appeared in people's sight.

The radiant humanoid figure did not walk on two feet like ordinary people, but floated in mid-air, like the sun hanging high in the sky.

This posture, like the rising sun, almost perfectly matches people's understanding of the gods.

And its soaring, high above, posture in mid-air drove everyone crazy.

Senette desperately wanted to see the humanoid's face clearly; she longed to know what the being she wanted to attract looked like—but unfortunately, the humanoid was radiating a dazzling light like the sun, so bright that Senette couldn't see anything at all.

But it was precisely because she couldn't see clearly that Sennett became even more fascinated.

"Yes, that's it, this is the deity's proper posture..."

Senette tried hard to suppress her excitement, trying to appear a little more reserved and different from the others.

Yes, compared to the excited Sennett, there were even less restrained ones—those frenzied people, who were already shouting the name of the sun god as they rushed straight toward the radiant humanoid figure.

Of course, this behavior is meaningless.

The tall war priest didn't even stand up; a gentle force stopped all those who rushed forward.

This made Senette even more grateful. She had once thought that her position was too bad and too far from the sun god, but now it seemed that if she were moved to a position closer to the sun god, she might not be able to maintain this necessary composure. If that were the case, she would be the one looking disheveled right now.

Now, at least she still has a chance, a good enough chance.

"I must make the sun god notice me!"

Senette thought to herself.

"I must draw the sun god's attention to me!"

However, such things can only be thought about, since the most dazzling one right now is the sun god himself.

No amount of jewel brilliance could compare to the sunlight emanating from that radiant humanoid figure. But this time, no one dared to rush forward, for the radiant humanoid figure had already raised its hand—with just this slight movement, everyone present dared not utter a word, and even subconsciously knelt on the ground.

At this moment, Senette could no longer distinguish whether it was the aura emanating from the radiant humanoid figure or the fear that had been lurking in her own heart for who knows how long.

All she knew was that her carefully chosen battle attire was simply not suitable for this kneeling posture.

Perhaps there was no chance again. Senette suddenly felt a little upset. After all, based on her experience, it seemed to be the same every time. Indeed, she could get very good ones, but she could never get the best ones, so she would tirelessly pursue better ones, time and time again.

And now, the best opportunity has presented itself to her, yet she has once again let it slip through her fingers. This is simply...

"your name."

Just then, a voice rang out from above Sennett's head.

At that moment, Sennett saw the light.

The radiant humanoid figure had somehow appeared before her, its dazzling light bathing her with warmth and gentleness. However, when she looked up, she still couldn't make out the face clearly; it was hidden in the light, revealing only a vague outline.

"your name."

The radiant figure repeated itself.

This almost made Senat faint.

“Senet, great sun god, my name is Senette.”

Taking a deep breath, Senette responded to the radiant humanoid form. At this moment, she felt an unprecedented happiness—fate seemed to have finally been kind to her, and she seemed to have finally obtained the best that she wanted.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get it, but at least you've had an opportunity.

At least she made the sun god remember her name, so if she wants to get along with the sun god...

"You come with me."

It was at this moment that the radiant humanoid spoke again.

This made Sennett even more dizzy, to the point that his legs went weak and he couldn't stand up.

She only wanted to make contact with the sun god, and the sun god remembered her name; she only wanted to spend time with the sun god, and she actually got this opportunity...

"What kind of day is this? How could my wish come true like this?"

Senette couldn't help but think that she had never felt so lucky.

Even the sun god who bestows his will upon mortals had never felt such good fortune before Sennet.

"To think they could find someone with a terrible sin who could be used to open the Tomb of the Gods... What kind of day is this? How could their wishes come true so easily?"

"No, that's how it should be. It seems I've been driven mad by that ancient snake. I'm making a fuss over something so trivial."

Thinking this, the sun god Ujat waved his hand, signaling the woman named Seysit to follow.

Ujat hadn't been paying much attention when the woman said her name, but it wasn't that important.

All he wanted was his life.
