Chapter 16: Heaven
"It's strange, why isn't this sleeping god here?"
In the main hall, several people in formal clothes searched left and right, and their faces couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
This is not the first time they have been here, they are the people of the Takamagaha Divine Registry Office, and their duty is to register the Shinjin Shrine for every new god who owns a shrine and is remembered by believers.
Although this sleeping god had never been heard of before, he had recently become famous in the world.
Moreover, a shrine of this size is already eligible for the registration of the priesthood, but the invitation issued by the shrine office has not been accepted. This made the artifacts who were responsible for handling the sleeping god book a little dissatisfied.
But there was nothing they could do, and if it was a newly-born god, they might not understand the identity of the gods, so they went down to find it themselves.
As a result, I didn't see the so-called sleeping god several times.
"You say, could it be that the god of sleep doesn't exist at all?"
"Impossible!"
A bald middle-aged man at the head shook his head: "This sleeping shrine, the torii gate has just been built and has formed a divine domain to dispel demons, so it can be seen that this sleeping god Lord exists." ”
"Or ...... Shall we wait until it is completely built? Another woman-like artifact smiled bitterly: "If you think about it, it's no wonder, after all, this shrine hasn't been built yet, and it's normal for the sleeping god to live here." ”
The bald middle-aged man sighed when he heard this, and nodded in disappointment: "Then let's ...... first Well? ”
The words stopped abruptly.
The other two had a flash of joy in their eyes at the same time, and they looked at each other and nodded.
"That's right, this is the fluctuation of the god domain inside the shrine, and it seems that the sleeping god finally remembered his own shrine."
The bald middle-aged man also breathed a sigh of relief, the day of the divine discussion was approaching, and there had already been an order from above, and the handling of the divine membership must be ended as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be in such a hurry.
A few people walked straight out of the shrine and came to wait outside the shrine, although the other party is not a god now, but it is no longer a nameless god, far from being an artifact that they can despise.
Merely......
One minute... Two minutes...... Ten minutes......
Twenty minutes passed in a flash, and several artifacts looked at the hundred-meter staircase, and their eyes were full of doubts.
What about people?
“……”
If it weren't for the divine power rising in the shrine, they might all think that this sleeping god had left again, but it was only a hundred meters of steps, and they would have climbed it in twenty minutes.
The bald middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Let's go down and find out." ”
He has been working in the shrine for nearly a hundred years, and it is the first time he has encountered such a situation, and he has not responded to the invitation, and he has not been able to see the deity several times when he comes to the shrine...... Normally, after those nameless gods have shrines, aren't they all rushing to the gods?
A few people didn't hesitate, and walked down the steps, their eyes constantly searching for the forest left and right.
"Huh?"
"Mr. Lan, ...... there" The young girl pointed to the torii in a strange tone, and the other two looked over there at the same time, and the scene that caught their eyes made the corners of their mouths twitch.
I saw that a man dressed in a white robe, with gray hair and an extremely immature face, who could not tell his specific age, was lying next to the torii, with a pillow under his head and a blanket on his body.
“……”
This extremely strange scene made the three of them a little distracted, and they didn't know whether to question the identity of this god lying on the ground, or whether to say it...... The real deal!!
Wood opened his eyes, and his golden eyes were full of languidness.
"The Sleepy God... Big...... Person? ”
Lan Yi stepped forward and asked with some uncertainty, how weird and weird the faces of the two people behind him were.
"Hmm."
Wood nodded, glanced at the pseudonyms on several people, and knew something in his heart.
It turned out to be an artifact.
He was still wondering how the gods of Takamagahara could come here for the sake of a new god for themselves, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
"What's the matter with me?"
Wood changed from lying flat to lying on his side, looking at a few people and asked.
“……”
Can't you just sit up?
If it weren't for the reverence for the gods cultivated over the years in Takamagahara, the few of them would have turned around and left by now.
"Hello, I am an expatriate employee of the High Heaven Origin Office, and I am here to help you apply for the Divine Nationality." Lan Yi, an old employee, was the first to reflect it.
"Divine Origin?"
Wood was slightly stunned, he had indeed heard Yato mention it once, but he didn't take it to heart. The reason why he chose to become a god was just to save his life, so he didn't think about having any connection with those gods in Takamagahara.
Seeing that Wood didn't speak, Lan Xun obviously thought that the other party didn't know the use of the divine status, and explained the benefits of obtaining the divine status to Wood one by one.
Basically, if you get a shrine, you can participate in the shrine, and you will get the corresponding land in Takamagahara according to the size of the shrine and the number of branches, and there is official recognition, etc......
The more Wood listened, the more sleepy he became, and the benefits of this man were of little use to Wood.
After having divine power, he only needs to make the name of the god of sleep widely spread in the human world, and he may leave this world at any time, and the so-called official divine status, the land of High Heaven, is of no use to Wood.
"So with so many benefits, what are the conditions for joining the gods?"
"Huh?"
Lan Yi was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Wood a little strangely, the sleeping god in front of him was the first new god to ask such a question, but even if Wood didn't ask, he would say it next.
"Obey the heavens, serve and be loyal to the palace god!"
Obey the heavens?
The corners of Wood's mouth hooked: "Then what if I don't become a god?" ”
"What?"
The three of them were startled, looked at Wood in a daze, and after a while, Lan Xun asked with some uncertainty: "Lord Sleep, what do you mean......?"
"I said ......"
Wood slowly sat up from the ground, a mocking smile appeared on his face, and he looked at the three people: "If you don't obey the heavens and don't become gods, what punishment will there be?" ”
"This ......"
Several people were stunned, looking at each other for a while, not knowing how to answer Wood's question, they had been working in the Divine Registry for so long, and it was the first time they had encountered such a strange question.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Lan Yi gritted his teeth: "Vainly trying to violate the will of heaven will be punished by heaven, and will be completely removed from the list and destroy the shrine, and at the same time, Lord Sleep will also be regarded as an evil god." ”
"Hehe~~~"
Wood let out a burst of laughter with unknown meaning: "It seems that this day is not peaceful." ”
"The Great ...... of the Sleeping God"
"That's it."
Wood waved his hand and lay down again: "Help me register!" ”
"Yes!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
