god of tomorrow

Deep inside the apse of the church.

The interplay of light and shadow created a tranquil atmosphere, so quiet that even time seemed to slow down.

A statue of a deity stands silently behind the altar, shaped like a lantern, its body covered by a wide robe, its facial features blurred, symbolizing mystery and elusiveness, existence and non-existence, visibility and invisibility.

An image of the god of wishes.

The statue has not yet been consecrated; it is merely an ordinary statue, standing solemnly and quietly, awaiting the arrival of a certain moment.

Gawain stood solemnly before the statue, his eyes half-open, his gaze lowered as he looked through the statue into the distance, as if he were having some kind of silent communication with it.

However, that wasn't the case; he was watching a video of his own saintess's fashion show.

Cutting out the backstage changing time, the video is 20 minutes long, recorded with AI, high frame rate throughout, and clear and smooth visuals.

【?】

In the footage, Tiffany initially appeared evasive and filled with grief and indignation, but then it was as if a switch had been flipped, and she exuded a powerful, confident, and charismatic aura.

She's trying to find her footing; she can always go all out and do whatever she wants.

Finally, with a look of utter despair on his face, his eyes lost their sparkle, and he squatted alone in the corner, his expression gray.

During the event, Qin, who made a guest appearance, walked around several times with a cool and elegant demeanor.

"That's really powerful!"

Gawain had no idea what had gotten into those two. Why were they giving him perks out of the blue? Especially Jean. Tiffany was acting crazy, and even the usually serious Jean was joining in. But he knew they must have their reasons. As the leader, he should just support them.

The key point is that it's free, no money required!

Gao Wen silently gave it a thumbs up, pressed the play button, and started watching it again from the beginning.

Every frame, every scene, is beautiful. This isn't about corrupting social values; it's art, something everyone should appreciate...

Yes, he can criticize it all by himself.

Footsteps approached from behind, and Gao Wen quickly pressed Alt+Tab to switch windows. Only after switching did he realize that this was not the office, and the system screen was only visible to him.

This is what it's like to sit in an office all the time.

Many students do the same when they stay up late at home researching, turning the volume down to the minimum so that the study materials cover the research materials.

Gao Wen turned around: "Sister Qin, why are you the only one here? Where is the Holy Maiden?"

"The Holy Maiden is unwell and wants some peace and quiet. In my opinion, you should go and visit her," Qin said worriedly.

"Next time you feel worried, remember to press the corners of your mouth down..."

Gao Wen's face darkened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Tell me the truth, did you instigate this whole thing that the Holy Maiden did today?"

"It has nothing to do with me; she's wanted to do this for a long time."

Qin shook her head repeatedly, obeying orders and following instructions. She suppressed the fishhook at the corner of her mouth, stepped forward with a cold face, and said in a low voice, "Qin doesn't quite understand, but my intuition tells me that the Holy Maiden is too eager to improve."

"The next step up is bishop, and then there's no further advancement."

Gawain grumbled, saying that it was a good thing for employees to want to improve, but as the boss, he would occasionally make empty promises to Tiffany, saying things like, "The bishop is often ill, so you should try your best to help him."

“You misunderstand. What Qin means is that Her Majesty the Saint wants to make progress from another angle.”

"Detailed explanation."

"The Holy Maiden heard some rumors from somewhere that I was able to possess the sacred artifact because I took a shortcut. She was envious and jealous, and decided to take a shortcut as well to broaden and deepen my life." Qin said with a confident expression, the lingerie show just now being the best evidence.

“You can easily explain this rumor to her.”

"I've explained it to her many times, but she won't listen and insists on believing in her own judgment." Qin sighed. Her best friend's mind was full of filthy thoughts, and she was heartbroken too.

Press down on the corner of your mouth.

"Oh."

"..."

Oh, and you were definitely the one who fueled today's fashion show!

Gawain stared at Qin speechlessly, guessing that she was taking revenge for taking the bullet for him last year. He also made a bold assumption that the six-eyed flying fish who exchanged the promotion device for the holy artifact was someone Qin told Tiffany herself.

The poor secondhand saintess was manipulated by her best friend.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that Jean wasn't the only one manipulating Tiffany; he appeared to be involved as well.

The secondhand saintess still firmly believes that Teacher Frey is carrying the blood of a divine messenger.

Seemingly shrewd, but actually not that smart.

"So, are you going to visit the Holy Maiden now?"

Jean proposed it again, and in order to persuade Tiffany to hold this fashion show, she used all sorts of coercion and enticement, and finally even personally stepped in to make it happen.

Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back for her.

“I think your sunk costs are getting bigger and bigger. Believe me, there was a recent case where I saw it with my own eyes. That person can’t afford to lose anymore,” Gao Wen earnestly advised.

If the video hadn't been still playing and he hadn't switched to the camera focusing on the piano, he might have been able to convince himself.

Qin wanted to add a couple more flattering words, but Gao Wen waved her hand to interrupt: "The Holy Maiden sometimes has a brain fart, so don't tease her. As for the sacred artifact, tell her that once I find a suitable one, I will definitely arrange it for her."

"Qin will definitely relay this truthfully!"

"Fine... whatever makes you happy."

Gawain rolled his eyes. To be honest, even though both are his children, if he had to say who benefits and who loses, he would lean more towards Gin taking Tiffany for fun.

Qin came first, spent more time with him, was extremely obedient, and kept her mouth shut. It's normal to show some favoritism to such an excellent female knight.

As for Tiffany...

The Holy Maiden exudes majesty and frequently creates unexpected contrasts, making her a highly entertaining character. Finding amusement in her is a significant boost and offers excellent value for money.

Joy! x2

The camera, pinged through the lens of Gaode Maps, led into the nave of the church. Although it was unclear why Gao Wen and Qin couldn't suppress their smiles, they still joined in.

Joy! x3

"You've come at just the right time."

Gao Wen grabbed Destiny by the back of his collar, pulled Gao De in front of him, and skillfully stroked his chin while asking, "How are the preparations for the consecration going? Can we begin now?"

Gao De squinted, ready to start at any moment.

But she didn't say anything until Gao Wen finished masturbating before nodding.

As expected of you!

Gao Wen immediately started lifting him high. As expected of a top student from the star region of the Gao family, he worked hard without complaint and didn't even want to be pampered. I would call Gao De the perfect ox or horse.

Gao Dechun is as pure as paper, how could he withstand such praise? He was immediately flattered and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

The consecration ceremony has begun!

Enforcer: Gao De

Participants: Gawain, the statue of the God of Wishes

Approving Authority: Statue of the Sun God

Onlookers: Qin

Following the star field's deification process, a statue of the Sun God is indispensable. Although Gawain prefers his biological mother, the Sun God is not out of the question. Numerous pieces of evidence suggest that the body he transmigrated into not only originated from the star field but also possesses extremely pure bloodline, most likely related to the Sun God in some way, such as his seventh maternal uncle.

In short, the name Gao Wen is destined to be inextricably linked to the sun.

Gao De was a professional priestess, and she was already very familiar with rituals related to faith. She stood in front of the altar, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, and she closed her eyes to recite a prayer. As her clear and melodious voice spread out, golden light emanated from her body, and her slightly chubby face was solemn and full of holiness.

The unprecedented process shocked Qin, who immediately took two steps back and used her access to the magic tower to summon Tiffany, urging her to come over quickly.

Tiffany: I'm so angry, don't mention it. I'm booking train tickets for a reservoir in an uninhabited area.

Qin: A sacred artifact has been released; you'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't come.

The secondhand saintess arrived, still crouching in the corner in a decadent, grayish-white state, with a single eyelid indicating that she was still alive.

"Huh? Huh! Huh—"

Gazing at the gleaming gold of Gaode, Tiffany's eyes, which had lost their sparkle, quickly focused. She abruptly stood up, a strong desire to learn this unfamiliar posture rising within her.

A moment later, the statue of the sun god responded, its gaze sweeping across the entire area before finally settling on Gawain.

His gaze held a hint of satisfaction, as if to say, "You should have done this a long time ago."

Because they were on the same side, the approval process for creating the god was extremely fast. The Sun God stamped and signed the document repeatedly, and before Gaode could even finish reciting the prayer, the statue of the God of Wishes had already been consecrated.

The registration of the star domain is legal and valid; therefore, a business license is hereby issued.

The sculpture transformed into a deity, and the sun god withdrew his gaze and departed.

Such a highly efficient certificate processing procedure was truly beyond Gaode's expectations. She clearly remembered that there were still many steps to go through, such as the 'new god' pledging allegiance...

Is that all?

Grandma was right. When you encounter someone like Lord Gawain, don't think about anything else, just cling to his leg and that's it.

Out of professional ethics, Gao De insisted on finishing the prayer and immediately offered his entire faith to his deity.

At the same time, Gawain saw a faint glow representing the power of faith on the statue of the God of Wishes, which was also his own statue.

Just as I was about to get a clear look, my perspective suddenly shifted, and from the statue's point of view, I saw God offering his faith, Tiffany and Jean with their mouths agape in an "o" shape, and a handsome college graduate.

Gao Wenwang was taken aback, then looked back and tried again, his gaze shifting back to the statue.

Like a child who has just gotten a new toy, they jump around repeatedly, having a great time.

After the consecration, Gawain was not only able to respond to the sacrificial ceremony and gaze upon the statue, but he could also take away the power of faith from the statue at any time.

Whether he takes it or not is fine; he has a business license, and the faith power offered by Gao De already has an owner, so no one else can take it away. Besides, the God of Wishes has no sacred artifacts circulating outside, so there's no need to worry about masked bandits taking advantage of the situation and stealing non-existent excess production capacity.

"Lift me up high!"

After the consecration ceremony, Gao Wen strode forward, lifted Gao De above his head, and spun him around three times.

The kitten was stunned upon landing and collapsed into Gao Wen's arms, as if it had been carrying a ball and run over someone.

Tiffany and Jean still had their mouths agape in an "o" shape. They roughly understood something, but didn't quite grasp it. Their gazes turned to Gawain, adding yet another new label to their list.

You're not a messenger of the gods, are you? x2
