I'm in Tokyo, caught in the clutches of the demon princess.

“I knew this was the best opportunity to understand you. I went to the director of the welfare home to inquire about your situation and learned some things about you. I also secretly read your diary and learned what you were going through. I realized how foolish my previous impressions and evaluations of you were.”

Feng Zejian gave an awkward laugh.

"Looks like I'll have to lock my diary away separately."

Yanase Saya continued, "And about the shrine construction, I have a clearer understanding of you now. You are better than I thought."

"Sometimes you may not even realize how much the things you take for granted can help the people around you."

"You are really charming, making people interested in getting to know you, eager to spend time with you, and eventually unable to resist following you."

I like you, but not to the point of love yet, but I don't think that day will come too soon.

"You are an excellent, great, and sensitive person. You are not perfect, but that is what makes you so fascinating."

"Actually, after saying all this, I don't know what I want to express. I just wanted to say it to you, and I'm taking this opportunity to say it. I think our relationship should take a step further."

"But don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. Wait, it's not that I didn't mean it. Anyway, I just want to get along with you."

Saya Yanase, her pretty face flushed, finished speaking and fled in a panic.

Feng Zejian couldn't help but smile.

As a sacred palace priest, his thoughts were so pure.

Sayazumi Yanase is like a flower blooming in a greenhouse, utterly pure and innocent.

She didn't make any concrete logic in what she said, but she just said it anyway.

She didn't know what she wanted to say, only what she should say, so even without logic, she would rack her brains to think and create.

As Yanase Sayasu left, Kazesawa instinctively yawned.

Today's exercise was really intense. Feng Zejian lay on the soft pillow and fell asleep the next second.

In the dead of night, Feng Zejian suddenly sat up.

Feng Zejian got up, put on his clothes, and went to the mirror. By the moonlight outside, he could vaguely see himself in the mirror.

Feng Zejian raised his hand and moved it around, muttering to himself:

"It's been a long time since I've had this experience."

As he spoke, he looked at his hands in the moonlight, admiring them against the wind.

The palms are slender and flexible, with contrasting colors; the palms are a mix of red and white, with veins faintly visible, while the backs of the hands are yellowish.

"What skillful hands!"

A paintbrush appeared in Feng Zejian's hand, and he drew a door in the air.

And the door came true; Kazema pushed it open and went straight to the shrine.

At this moment, the shrine doors will be locked, and gold will be piled up where the statues are.

Feng Zejian spread his hands, and the nearly two hundred pounds of gold fused together, gradually taking on the shape of a human.

Before anyone knew it, a tool appeared in Feng Zejian's hand.

Next, it's time for Feng Zejian to put his skills into practice.

The next day, Kazesawa woke up to the sound of Yanase Saya's fingers being stroked.

Feng Zejian was still rather listless at this moment.

"What happened."

"Come quick, something big has happened."

Kazema frowned slightly as he dressed, pulled along by Yanase Sayasu, and they arrived at the shrine.

Inside the shrine, Sato Shiro and Kuroba Asuka, who was holding a wooden carving of a crow god, stood quietly.

Saya Yanase pointed to the carved statue.

"Feng Zejian, look quickly."

Even Feng Zejian, who was still a bit sleepy, was stunned when he saw the lifelike statue.

Feng Zejian instantly perked up, walked up to the statue, and carefully examined it.

The statue's posture is noble and elegant, making it look grand regardless of the material.

The feathers and textures of the crow god, even the subtle folds in its clothing, are depicted.

And the crow on her shoulder looked just like it was alive.

This is a true work of art.

Sato Shiro said slowly, "When we opened the door today, this statue was erected here."

Chapter 155 The Suddenly Appearing Statue

“I locked the door myself yesterday. Back then, this place was still a pile of gold. At most, twelve hours, starting from when the door was locked, from melting to solidification to carving, would take more than that. And this is fine carving. It could easily take several months or even a year.”

Feng Zejian gently stroked the patterns on the statue.

The statue wears a gold necklace around its neck, and the bracelet on its wrist was probably made from scraps of material.

Aside from admiration, Feng Zejian had nothing to say.

Feng Zejian looked at the statue of the Raven God.

"My Lord God, what do you think of this as your idol?"

What else could the Raven God say? If he couldn't say something right, then he shouldn't be a god anymore.

Having such a statue made of pure gold, more artistic than any work of art, would be a source of great prestige even in the realm of gods.

"If there are no problems, then proceed with the possession transfer."

"it is good."

Feng Zejian blinked.

I heard a new term again.

Yanase Saya took the crow god statue and came to the pure gold statue.

What was he muttering to himself?

Feng Zejian activated his Eye of Truth and saw a stream of black energy slowly flowing into the statue.

Until the airflow is completely integrated into the statue.

The golden light of the statue shone even brighter, and an invisible aura burst forth.

The statue gradually changed and transformed into the true form of the Raven God.

Saya Yanase was extremely surprised.

"Lord Raven God, you have actually descended."

"It's not a complete descent. Perhaps it's because of this statue that I can appear in my original form, though I still don't have a physical body. My activity is limited to the shrine. But my consciousness can cover the entire area here, and can even expand outwards a bit."

Feng Zejian asked, "Does that mean that the people in this area can all be influenced by the God?"

The Raven God replied decisively, "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Zejian suddenly knelt on the ground, his head pressed tightly against the ground.

"From then on, the orphanage entrusted its care to the gods."

This kneeling gesture startled everyone.

"Hey, get up! My mom didn't say she wouldn't agree, what are you doing?"

The Raven God looked at the boy kneeling on the ground in front of him.

He really works hard to improve the lives of those around him.

The Raven God saw a divine radiance in Feng Zejian.

"Get up, young man, I promise you."

Feng Zejian bowed deeply to the Crow God once again.

"My God, I am deeply grateful. Thank you for bringing your blessings to this barren land and to these helpless people."

The Raven God shook his head.

"The one who brought this blessing here is not me, but you."

Feng Zejian looked at the Crow God with some confusion.

"You may not understand now, but one day you will understand what I am saying."

Just then, the black-feathered bird's stomach rumbled.

This means that Kuroba Asuka is about to enter a state of intellectual degradation.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat."

Sato's expression became subtle.

"Don't scream."

"I'll shout, I'll shout."

Sato Shiro didn't tolerate it and directly covered Kuroba Asuka's mouth and pulled her out.

"Then, Your Majesty, I'll go and cook now."

Kazema also left, leaving only Yanase Saya in the newly built shrine.

“Sayamo, do you have special feelings for this boy?”

Saya Yanase hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I can't hide it from you, Lord Karasu."

"This boy has the potential to become the first god."

Saya Yanase paused for a moment, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised.

"Lord Raven God, what did you say? He... to become the first god, wasn't he human?"

"Undoubtedly, this boy is indeed human, but he possesses a trace of divinity. That trace of divinity may not have originally belonged to him, but he is indeed using it."

"The seed of divinity began to take root and sprout in his body, but his path afterward would be exceptionally difficult."

Saya Yanase remained silent.

The scene shifts, and Kuroba Asuka is slumped in a chair, one hand rubbing her bulging belly, the other hand contentedly picking her teeth with a toothpick.

Feng Zejian was using his computer, making a video call with Ruoruo.

The two played the game together online.

Ruoruo has already made a name for herself on this internet.

A highly developed brain gives it a significant advantage in areas like the internet and gaming.

It was easy to pick up, and Feng Zejian was carried along the way.

Most importantly, Ruoruo's happy laughter could always be heard in the wind.

Being able to do something tangible for everyone at the welfare home would be the best reward for Feng Zejian.

For Feng Zejian, whether it was his original self or his current self, this place could be called home.

After all, there will always be a house reserved for you, and no matter right or wrong, they will unconditionally support you. What else is this but home? What else are the people here but family?

If anyone tries to take away everything I want to protect, I will make them pay a terrible price.

Another day passed, and many professionals gathered in front of the shrine to take photos and document the shrine, leaving behind photos of every part.

In this day and age, every orthodox shrine is registered.

This includes priestesses who are currently employed.

Although Kuroba Asuka is not a legitimate shrine maiden, her status is enough for these people to give her a huge favor.

The registration staff saw that even the pure gold artwork statue was marred by its poor craftsmanship and materials.

I never expected that such a great deity would be in this small temple.

We live in the information age, and every shrine of any size has its own official website, which in turn aggregates all the registered shrines on its website.
