Since I was currently holding a bowl of eel rice, and there was still a small portion left uneaten, I simply adjusted the time flow between the small world and the real world to be one-to-one, and then vigorously shoveled down a few mouthfuls of eel rice, finishing a tempura dish in two bites.

After finishing the eel rice and tempura, Lilith looked at the remaining steak and sukiyaki and decided to come back and continue eating after dealing with things in the small world.

So Lilith wiped her mouth, straightened her clothes, and then entered the small world.

In the small world, Filican is celebrating the historic event of unifying the entire continent. From old Deng, who is fifteen or sixteen years old, to children as young as three or four, everyone's face is filled with joyful smiles.

The temple is where the Kingdom of Felican keeps the statues of Lilith and the Blue God. In the local mythology, the Blue God is an emissary sent down by Lilith to protect people during the ancient era when barbarians roamed the land.

Inside the temple, rows of pillars carved with intricate patterns stand in neat rows. At the very front stands a three-meter-tall pure white statue of a god, standing silently with its raised hands. One hand holds an eternally burning flame, and the other a spear that is sure to strike.

This is the statue of the Blue God, a deity worshipped by the Philicans six days a week. Behind this statue is an exaggerated relief.

The entire wall is covered with reliefs, depicting a goddess figure radiating light, carved according to the text left by Qing, standing on clouds and surrounded by thirteen winged children.

The eyes on the meticulously sculpted face were closed, yet the aura of "universal love and kinship" still emanated from within, seemingly imbued with divine charm through the year-after-year worship of the people.

At this moment, King Philican and his ministers arrived at the temple under the guidance of the clergy. They completely shed their superior status and, like ordinary people, worshipped Qing little by little, and Lilith little by little.

Throughout the prayer, King Philican maintained a state of reverence, respecting the divine and believing that Philican's success was inseparable from the divine choice.

He was also curious about what the reward promised by the gods would be, since the condition for receiving the reward was to unify the entire continent, and no matter how you looked at it, the reward couldn't be ordinary.

Is it to grant a more perfect path to extraordinary advancement?

Is it to extend the lifespan of ape-men, which is already shorter than that of wild animals?

Is it to make the people of Filican become the gods' kin?

King Filican boldly speculated, and not only him, but also his ministers, clergy, the people of the capital, and even the people of the defeated nation, all looked forward to the arrival of the gods. They speculated to their hearts' content, almost exhausting their imaginations.

Until a beam of golden light suddenly fell from the sky, piercing straight through the temple spire and illuminating the image of the goddess with her eyes closed on the relief behind the statue of the blue goddess.

King Philipan, his ministers, and clergy, who were worshipping the goddess relief, noticed something amiss. They looked up and saw a beam of golden light appearing from nowhere in the enclosed space, illuminating the goddess image on the relief in gold.

Before they could react, the figure, clearly a relief, began to emerge in color: a complexion as smooth as white jade, a white robe, long, wisteria-colored hair, and a golden crown of flowers and birds on its head that perfectly accentuated its divinity.

How beautiful this is! How magnificent this is! Is the appearance of a deity truly something that mortals can glimpse?

King Filican's heart pounded wildly; he almost forgot to breathe. Although he already guessed who the beautiful figure slowly emerging from the relief was, he still couldn't help but ask aloud:

Who are you...?

Upon hearing this, the imposing figure "looked" at him, its tightly closed eyes trembling twice. When it opened, its wisteria-colored pupils held a complex mix of tenderness and pity.

Her lips parted slightly, uttering a soft murmur as melodious as celestial music:

"What, you don't even recognize me?"

As soon as the words were spoken, King Filican's mind went blank. Almost instinctively, his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud, staring at the ground in front of Lilith, panting heavily.

Besides him, the ministers and clergy did the same. The reason they did so was that when they looked at Lilith, they immediately realized that she was not someone they could look directly at.

They must greet the arrival of the gods with the utmost humility and insignificance, and wait for their blessings in such a manner...

"Come with me."

Lilith didn't care about the reactions of the crowd. She said calmly, then stopped looking at these people in high positions and walked slowly towards the temple exit with light steps.

When King Philican and his ministers saw Lilith leave, they dared not delay and quickly got up to follow her.

At this moment, because of the golden light that Lilith brought down, most of the city’s residents looked toward the temple, and unconsciously moved toward the temple as if on a pilgrimage.

There were already many people gathered in front of the temple, and now the temple was completely surrounded, with countless heads crowding around.

"Did you see that? It looks like golden light just fell into the temple."

"Was that a shooting star? Why is there no sound?"

"Where would a meteor specifically target a temple? That's a sacred place for worshipping gods, would a meteor dare to hit it?"

"If it's not a shooting star, then what is it?"

The barely audible words were then drowned out by another, a cacophony of voices vying to guess what the golden light had just appeared to be.

The golden light, the temple, and the divine rewards after unifying the entire continent—these three things combined inevitably evoke images of deities.

"It's a god!" Someone shouted. At first, no one paid attention to the words until a blazing figure, as hot as the sun, appeared in front of the temple.

Gradually, the talking stopped, and the previously chaotic scene began to calm down. Everyone looked at the figure in front of the temple: white robe, jade-like skin, purple hair and eyes, and a golden flower and bird crown on his head.

Almost all the Philicans, or all the Iz people, knew what this image represented. They all looked towards the temple entrance, at the figure that seemed to radiate a faint golden light.

The temple was packed with tens of thousands of people, yet you could hear a pin drop. Lilith stood at the temple entrance, refraining from a lengthy opening speech—too much talk would only lower her status—and instead began in a gentle tone:

"Filicans, unify the entire continent, and you will become complete humans, with lifespans extended to one hundred and twenty years."

As soon as the words were spoken, a vast energy enveloped all the Philicans. At first, the Philicans only felt a warm sensation all over their bodies, but soon they found that their coarse, dark body hair began to disappear, revealing their pink skin.

In addition, female Filican women no longer became bulky, but slender and graceful, and their rugged faces softened, evolving into true humans.

Meanwhile, the male Filican had a more balanced physique, their exaggerated muscles began to become more subdued and refined, and their ape-like faces became more angular, with a sharp look in their eyes and brows.

Behind Lilith, King Philican stared at the back of her hand, which had turned pale, and gazed at Lilith's slender back. His pupils trembled violently, for the gods had made him and his people perfect beings!

Chapter 180: Higher Races, Inferior Races

Was the entirety of this divine gift to make the Philicans perfect? ​​No, it couldn't be limited to that.

If this is all there is to this divine gift, Lilith wouldn't have bothered to personally descend upon the small world, since so far only the Philicans have been rewarded.

Although the other Vistras, Seranians, and Valsra were conquered by the Philicans, since they participated in this chaotic battle, they deserved a reward for their participation—something Lilith had already planned.

And so, amidst the grateful and astonished gazes of the Philicans, the Philican king, and his ministers, Lilith continued:

"The Vistras, Seranians, and Valsla, who failed to unify the continent, will become human and live to be eighty years old."

Upon hearing this, the people of the countries conquered by the Philicans were filled with disbelief. Although they envied the Philicans who were rewarded with perfect human beings and became almost as beautiful as gods, they never imagined that they, as losers, could also receive a reward.

Before they could even react, a warm current surged into their bodies, and like a transformation of the Philicans, their body hair began to disappear, revealing their original skin color.

However, their changes are fundamentally different from those of the Philicans. Putting aside lifespan, just in terms of appearance alone, they are not as refined as the Philicans, and their hair and eye colors are also varied, which is significantly different from the black hair and black eyes of the Philicans.

After the non-Filican people transformed into humans, a chorus of surprised voices began to echo, which in just a few seconds turned into deafening cheers.

His words revealed shock at his own transformation, as well as admiration and respect for Lilith.

Upon hearing these sounds, Lilith lowered her eyes slightly, said nothing, and turned to walk back to the temple.

When King Felican and his ministers saw Lilith walking back, they quickly followed. King Felican wanted to say something, but Lilith didn't give him a chance. She walked to the relief and merged into it once again.

Just as before, his entire body transformed into golden light once more, piercing through the top of the temple and returning to the sky.

Seeing this, King Philican, who had just opened his mouth, closed it again and clenched his teeth. After Lilith left, he could no longer suppress his emotions, stomped his foot hard, and growled:

"This is not fair!"

The sound echoed through the temple, completely clashing with the cheers outside. The ministers exchanged glances, knowing exactly what King Philipcan was thinking.

It's nothing more than, "We finally unified the entire continent, and you're lowering the rewards for the losers too. Even though they're not as good as ours, it's still unfair."

One hundred and twenty years of lifespan! Compared to the original lifespan of ape-men, that's almost eight times longer. But King Philican was not happy at all. At this moment, his brain was working at high speed, trying to recall everything that had just happened.

He heard it: the gods only granted the non-Filicans eighty years of life, and unlike the uniform black hair and eyes of the Filicans, the non-Filicans had very mixed hair and eye colors, so…

King Filikan looked at the back of his fair hand, recalling the slightly rougher skin of non-Filikan people after they became human, and his eyes lit up. He murmured to himself:

"Perhaps we are the superior race, while the rest are the inferior race, born to be our slaves."

These unexpected words stunned the ministers present for a few seconds. They looked at King Philipcan's youthful and handsome face, which had become more mature after becoming a complete person, and felt a chill run down their spines.

From this moment on, thanks to Lilith's gift, humanity was successfully divided into two classes, with the self-proclaimed superior race of perfect beings rightfully enslaving the inferior race of flawed beings.

Previously, the concept of slavery did not exist in the Small World. After all, the ape-men had always been on the same side since they became intelligent. But now, the Small World has officially entered the era of slavery.

Lilith was unaware of all this, because after leaving the small world, she was fiddling with the mouse and keyboard in front of the computer screen.

The grand scene where she personally descended into the small world and turned the ape-man into a human was the result of painstaking planning. Every special effect, every expression, and every movement was meticulously designed by Lilith to achieve the best possible effect.

First, I used my authority to save the video from all angles, found the best angle, edited it, imported it to my computer, added some grand and majestic music, and became more and more satisfied with it.

"No, how can I enjoy such a perfect work of art all by myself?" After watching the edited footage over and over again, Lilith suddenly thought of this.

Without hesitation, Lilith went straight to YouTube, the world's largest video platform. Without even changing her profile picture or name, she uploaded the video with the caption "Best of 2017" and posted it immediately.

"Hmph, with such high-quality videos, I'm sure to get tons of likes once I post them. I'm going to be famous!" Lilith crossed her arms, lay back in her chair, and started imagining what life would be like after becoming a top streamer.

Thinking about it, Lilith couldn't help but let out a strange "giggle giggle," which made Tengen, who was standing next to her, glance at her helplessly and subtly move a few centimeters away.

After Lilith snapped out of her fantasy, she eagerly opened the information page. Although only a few minutes had passed, she was confident that her high-quality video would go viral as soon as it was released.

So Lilith excitedly opened the message page, only to find zero unprocessed messages.

Seeing this, Lilith was a little stunned. At first, she thought there was a delay, but after refreshing the page, the message page was still empty, with no comments, reposts, or likes.

Lilith immediately deflated, silently shut down her computer, and collapsed to the floor, questioning the meaning of life.

After a while, Lilith suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten the steak, sukiyaki, and half a bottle of lemonade. The food wouldn't taste good if it got cold, so Lilith forced herself to get up, sat down next to the small world, and started eating...

Meanwhile, on another continent, a streamer known as "Dog Bro" by his fans was idly refreshing the YouTube recommendation page, searching for interesting videos.

As a relatively unknown streamer, his only way to gain attention is to find some interesting videos, add a few lines of text, and then post them as his own.

However, this is not a long-term solution. Dog Brother's idea is to first become a niche, high-quality game streamer, so that he can earn promotion fees and attract a wave of game fans.

However, finding such a game is incredibly difficult. Dog Bro was almost driven to despair when, just then, a video titled "Best of 2017" suddenly appeared on the recommendation page.

Upon seeing this title, Dog Bro chuckled dismissively:

"You're really ignorant and arrogant. How dare you call yourself the best of the year? I'd like to see where you get your confidence from."

With the intention of watching the video and finding it funny, Dog Bro had already prepared it as material for his own video tomorrow. However, when he clicked on the video, a strange scene suddenly flooded into his mind.

Chapter 181: Lilith is on fire!

miracle.

In that ancient temple, a beam of golden light shone on the relief behind the statue, and the pale relief gradually gained color, as the goddess then emerged.

Seeing this scene, Dog Brother was stunned. The reason was simple: he had never seen such realistic special effects and delicate transitions. The scene of the goddess walking out of the wall was so seamless that it was several times more exquisite than the most exquisite CG available.

As the scene progresses, several ape-men dressed in magnificent robes kneel before the goddess. As the ape-men tremblingly ask a question, the goddess opens her eyes.

What kind of eyes were those? Clear and bright, yet revealing compassion and tenderness—this was something that could never be acted out, as if a true deity stood there.
