Zhou Yun Sheng knew that Brainless Sheng was going crazy again.

He watched Brainless Sheng kneel before the statue of the God of Light, lying on his knees sobbing, saying how happy he was when he received the red rose crown, he even asked the God of Light to take him to heaven. Then he straightened up, held the God of Lights face, and tried to kiss his thin lips.

If you dare kiss that, Ill kill you! Rational Sheng shouted in the subconscious.

Let me kiss him! Why do you always stop me from doing what I want? Brainless Sheng was in tears again.

The two halves of the soul were fighting fiercely in the subconscious, in real life, the boy was holding the Fathers cheek, hovering very close to the statues lips, his face showing both a desirous and struggling expression.

In the Ninth Heaven above, the Light God was sitting stiffly in his chaise, holding his breath in anticipation. The boys warm, rose-like fragrance was in front of the statue, blowing into his face as a result, their lips were clearly not touching, but he still felt unsteady.

He was ready to act, the moment the boy kissed him, he would appear in front of him, embrace him, caress him, and take him away.

But suddenly, the boy released his hands, turned and quickly ran.

The Light Gods anticipation went unfulfilled. He sat stiffly in a leaning forward posture for a long time, then slowly leaned back in his chair and sighed disappointedly.

Rational Sheng finally won a victory. He suppressed Brainless Sheng back into the subconscious and quickly ran back to his bedroom and fell on his bed. He felt physically and mentally exhausted, but his heart was still experiencing a violent struggle.

He didnt expect the God of Light to actually respond to Brainless Sheng. He burned Boel with divine flame, and gave Joshua a red rose crown with self-evident implications. Had he really fallen in love with Joshua? Hed once read on an online forum, only a shameless person would chase after Prince Charming, that comment seemed to not be so nonsensical.

A shamelessness stat of Brainless Shengs level could be considered rare.

But what about my lover? Maybe hell seek me out soon, maybe well meet again when I go out to travel. Zhou Yun Sheng silently thought.

The Father is our lover, its unmistakable. Brainless Sheng suddenly opened.

Shut up, youre brainless, the judgment of a brainless person is definitely inaccurate. Youre trying to lie to me, so its convenient for you to be with the God of Light, right? Rational Sheng sharply rejected his little mind.

Brainless Sheng was silent.

Rational Sheng continued, You know, if the Light God is not our true lover and we provoke him, the consequences will be very serious. Hes the only god in this space, hes omnipotent, if he wants to imprison us in this space, we have no ability to escape.

Are you willing to stay here forever? Can you guarantee that hell love you forever? You see, he doted on Boel Britte so much, and Boel Britte accompanied him for five hundred or so years, but now hes rejected and abandoned him. Do you dare guess how long hell like you? Will it be longer than he liked Boel Britte? Maybe in a few hundred years, a more devout believer than you will appear in the temple, and hell kick you to the curb and never look back. So, why dont you wake up and think about our future!

The two halves of the soul engaged in a now familiar dialogue, Brainless Sheng was slowly calming down, sinking deeper into the sea of the subconscious, curled up into a ball. In real life, the boy was lying in bed, silently crying with an indifferent expression.

The Light God froze at this scene, he really wanted to cut open the boys head to see what he was thinking. He must be having a struggle of love and faith again right? Hes so sensitive and fragile, he felt embarrassed by his own longing for his god.

On the other side, the Pope ordered the guards to put Boel in detainment, then returned to his bedroom alone. He repeatedly checked his body with spells, and finally lost any hope that the Father hadnt reclaimed his divine power. Hed had half a foot in the realm of the demigods, but now, he was even lowlier than the average priest, and once the dark war broke out, he would be exposed and pushed from his godly altar.

Damn that Boel Britte! Youre not the Darling of God, you deceived me! You tempted me into the abyss of desire, and made me lose the sanctuary of the Father. Im going to make you pay!

He madly cursed in his heart, and wanted to mercilessly break all the furniture in the room, but was worried about causing a scandal, so he had to be patient. This was not his main temple after all.

Yes, I must hurry back to my palace and think of a way. Thinking of this, he immediately began to pack his things.

When he took out his scepter and his other priestly robes, he was aghast to find that the four light stones that was at the top of the scepter had shattered, and the inscribed oracle on his Holy Robe had vanished, it had changed from a golden glowing robe, into an old tattered rag.

He suddenly realized just how much had been given to him by the Father, and how much this punishment would cost him. In order to gain power, he had already cast aside his devout faith. He did a lot of bad things, but his strength never weakened, so hed thought that the Father only occasionally looked upon world, and didnt know everything done in secret.

He was obviously wrong, the Father knew everything, he just didnt want to pay any attention to it. But, if his actions touched the Fathers bottom line, the Father would take everything from him.

Now what? The Pope slumped on his bed, helpless.

Boel was held in a foul-smelling dungeon with several guards responsible for guarding him, they were whispering vivid descriptions amongst themselves, talking about the scene of his burning and exposed naked body.

My God, this is the talked about Darling of God? My eyes feel tainted just looking at him. When Im off duty, Ill go to the holy pool to wash them out. After being fucked all night, he shamelessly used the holy priests robe to cover his sins, this is blasphemy against the gods! No wonder the ever loving Father was enraged and sent down golden flame to burn him.

No kidding! Why didnt the Father just burn him to death? I heard that Bishop Byrd had strongly objected to the coronation of the new Bishop, but the Pope insisted. Hey, what do you say? Dont you think those dirty traces on him were left by the Pope?

Ay, must be, otherwise, why did the Father burn only the two of them?

The Popes cronies heard these gossips and immediately ran to the temple to inform him. For the Popes reputation, and to preserve the sanctity of the Central Church, Boel Britte couldnt stay.

Boel was ashamed to death, he hid in the corner of the cell, recalling his carefree life in the Temple of God, drowning in complex feelings.

Father, please forgive my sins and take me back. Im willing to offer you my soul. Father, have you forgotten, I used to nestle at your feet and sing, you would feel relaxed and look at me with loving eyes. That was the best time of my life Father. Father, I miss you, do you hear me?

He knelt on the ground with his hands folded, eager to pass his voice to the Temple of God.

In the Ninth Heaven above, the Light God pointed to the water mirror and lightly asked, Do you see?

Yes Father, I neglected my duties. Please give your decision. The god was revolted by Boel Brittes behaviors. A runaway servant dared to claim to be the Darling of God and used the name of the Father to gain power and status. If this was in the past, he might have a chance of forgiveness, but now, the Father had a real darling, how could the Father spare him?

Dismiss all the servants in the Temple and take away the divine power and power of light in their bodies. They are not allowed to do the same and fake acting in my name. Anyone bold enough will be burnt to death by my divine flames. The Light God waved his sleeves.

The god vowed to execute the punishment and turned to retreat, the he heard the Father add, And let them see all of Boel Brittes deeds as a warning.

The god bowed and retreated, then he gathered all the Servants of God, beings that were chosen from the lower realms, and promulgated the oracle. He used the time backtracking spell to show them Boels experience, so they could understand why they were suffering such a fate.

The servants were all mortal, but when they came to the Temple of God, they were free from growing old, sickness and death. After such a carefree life, how could they be willing to re-enter the mortal realm and face suffering, old age and death again? Not to mention, as long as they stayed with the Father, they had the chance to please him one day and receive a godhead, becoming a noble existence, but now, they had nothing.

They knelt on the ground, crying and begging, repeatedly saying that Boel Brittes behavior had nothing to do with them, seeking the Father and the gods grace. But the god wasnt moved, he took away their divine light, restoring their original bodies, and casted them into the channel leading to the mortal realm.

Before long, there would be many Darlings of God falling from the mortal realms sky.

The document declaring the Second Prince as Crown Prince was burnt to ashes by divine fire, and the crown rusted, which showed that the Father didnt want him on the throne. The King had only two heirs, the rest were illegitimate children born from mistresses. In order to avoid civil strife, he deliberately didnt train his illegitimate children, so they only knew how to eat and drink, not lead. Now, one heir died, and the other heir was rejected by the Father, he simply couldnt pick a qualified heir.

Without a future ruler, the imperial power would grow unstable, but what could he do?

In contrast to the Kings distress, the late princes wife was very happy. She held her three-month-old son and gently rocked him, humming a hypnotic song. He fell into a sweet sleep, and she carefully put him into the cradle, then ordered several master level warriors to keep guard on him.

She put on her plainest dress and slowly walked into the temple. She saw Priest Joshua sitting by the holy pool and carving puppets. His eyes were lowered, he looked infinitely gentle, and the golden sun shrouded him, illuminating his beautiful figure. A few butterflies had smelled his bodys sweet rose fragrance and were hanging around him, refusing to leave.

He was so beautiful, so holy, quiet, and peaceful, even the chattiest servants were reluctant to speak loudly in front of him, afraid of disturbing him. This is the real person the Father adores, right?

All the women in the continent were well aware of the meaning behind the red rose.

She lightened her footsteps and walked to Joshuas side, then bowed.

Good day, Princess Elena. The boy smiled, his voice was as pleasant as spring water.

The Princess felt a bit of trepidation, after half a day, she tentatively opened: The day after tomorrow is your 18th birthday as well as my sons full 100 days.

Oh, Little Prince Anthonys full 100 days? Zhou Yun Sheng soon realized the others intentions and looked up at her with encouragement.

The Princess really did calm down, she slowly said, So, I would like to ask you to give Anthony a blessing after your baptism.

According to the mainlands customs, newborns must have a highly respected elder bless them after their first 100 days, so people generally looked for the most powerful and honorable person they had access to, and the royal family would usually ask the countrys Bishop.

But you know, Im not the Bishop of Saga Kingdom, Im not qualified to bless Little Prince Anthony. Zhou Yun Sheng said frankly. If the other party was blessed by him, then he wouldnt be stingy with his power of light and would definitely create a few miracles for the small His Royal Highness. He would never let the Second Prince inherit Sagya Kingdoms throne.

In my heart, no one is more qualified than you. Please, can you grant my request? The Princess knelt down and folded her hands together.

Zhou Yun Sheng quickly stood up and helped her up, he smiled and said, Since it is your wish, then I promise. May you and your little son be in good health.

Thank you. This is very kind of you. Your decision is a salvation for me and Anthony, we will never forget this kindness! The Princess teared up and repeatedly bowed before quietly retreating, she walked to an unmanned corner and lifted her sleeves.

Her maid, who was waiting for her in the distance, came to her side and saw several burnt black fingerprints on her arm, she whispered in dismay, My God, is this something Priest Joshua did to you? But he looks so kind, not like this kind of cruel and insidious person. What reason does he have to hurt you, youve never offended him, right?

No, I didnt offend him, but I offended his admirer. This is the mark of divine fire from the Father. The Father doesnt permit others to touch Joshua, so this is his way of telling us to stay away from him. The Princess shook her head with a wry smile.

The maid gaped in surprise, staring at the fingerprints, her expression turned from anger to reverence, as if it was a matter of pride that her master was burnt by the Fathers fire, it would be better if it left a scar.

The Princess pulled down her sleeves and gave a contented smile. Shed made the right bet. Because of the unstable living environment, no Kingdom on the mainland would take a less than one year old baby as Crown Prince. That risk was too great, not to mention, the King had a few bastards that were eyeing the throne.

But, as long as Anthony got Joshuas favor, it was equal to getting the Fathers favor, then, no matter how young the heir, he could firmly secure the position of Crown Prince. From now on, no one would dare trample on this mother and son.

Three days later, Joshua turned eighteen, after his baptism ceremony he would travel the continent. Because Boel had taken away his Bishop position, the temple had reduced the importance of his baptism ceremony and had only invited the clergy, not the elites of the Kingdom.

But, the day after Boel and the Pope were burnt by God fire, the King held an emergency meeting and demanded that Joshuas baptism be treated as the most important event in the continent, and that all the nobles in Gagor had to attend. He also discussed with the Elder Bishop to have Joshua be coronated as the new Bishop on the day of his baptism ceremony, but his idea was rejected by the Elder Bishop.

The two coronation ceremonies were too close together, it would look as if Joshua was just selected to clean up the mess. Because Boel lost his eligibility they turned to him, that was obviously an insult, it would be belittling to him. Joshua would never agree.

So, the Elder Bishop made a proposal to the King, wait for Joshuas return from his travels, then hold an unprecedentedly grand ceremony.

The King agreed after some contemplating. What about the Popes opinion? The two men silently chose to ignore it. As the Pope, he should be the embodiment of the Father in the mortal world, but the Father personally sent down his Godly Fire to severely punish him, such an honor for a Pope had never been seen before. Once the news spread out, he would not be qualified to stay on the Popes throne.

On the day of the ceremony, except for the Second Prince who was under house arrest, all the nobles of Gagor gathered in the open space of the temple. Their expressions were solemn, and they dared not speak loudly. They now knew that Priest Joshua was the true Darling of God, and at the moment, the Father was likely looking upon him from heaven.

Zhou Yun Sheng knelt alone in the hall to pray, and when the sun rose to the middle of the sky, he walked along the long red carpet toward the holy pool outside the temple. Along the way, people constantly threw pure white roses in his path to show their blessings. The petals were repeatedly swept up by the breeze, then slowly fell back to the ground, the scene looked very ethereally beautiful.

Today, Zhou Yun Shengs mental state was very good. Rational and Brainless Sheng lived and moved together in harmony. Today was Joshuas most important day, neither of them wanted to ruin it.

He walked to the holy pool. The Pope, clad in the robes of a common priest, reached out to take the boys hand and lead him into the water. This was the Popes duty at a baptism.

But Zhou Yun Sheng waved him away in refusal, his oblique glance implied contempt and disgust, as if to say you are not qualified to touch me. The Popes heart stirred in anger, but his face was still smiling. He didnt want to be disgraced in public, so he forcefully grabbed the boys wrist and pulled him towards the holy pool.

Then everyone saw that as soon as the Popes palm touched Joshua, it started emitting black smoke, followed by golden flames. This time, not only did it burn the Popes soul, his flesh was also burnt, the strong stench of burning flesh filled the room.

The Pope finally couldnt maintain a dignified posture, he immediately let go of the boys wrist and retreated to the side, his handsome face twisted and deformed, showing just how much pain he was suffering. Half a minute later, the flames went out by themself, but he felt so weak that he could no longer stand. He was helped out of the central temple by several holy officials and laid to rest.

After they laid him down, they hurried back, refusing to miss Priest Joshuas baptism. There was endless chatter questioning the Popes authority.

What did the Pope do to make the Father so disgusted? Look, he has been burnt by God twice. Is a man who has been severely punished by the Father twice still worthy of the Popes position? If everyone in the Church is under such a dirty mans rule, the Father will abandon us in anger sooner or later, just like the other gods.

Dont say that. The Father would not be so cruel. Besides, we have Priest Joshua, he is holy, noble, and loved by the Father. As long as he lives on this contentment, the Father will not abandon us.

Youre right. When I went back home after last time, my wife reminded me of what the red rose means in the flower language. I had no idea the High Father had such a romantic side. Maybe because the Pope touched Priest Joshua just now, he angered the Father. The Father was jealous.

The man seemed to realize that what he had just said could be treated as criticizing the Father, so he quickly covered his mouth and stopped talking, and the rest of the people also quieted down.

At the same time, Zhou Yun Sheng took off his robe and walked into the holy pool wearing a thin undershirt. The water dampened the fabric, making it transparent and sticky, it clung to the boys slender, flawless body, even the two red cherries on his chest were clearly visible.

The scene was extremely beautiful and sexy.

The present elite only had a chance to glance at him before their eyes started stinging, then a golden light beam projected down from the Ninth Heaven, enveloping the holy pool.

Everyones vision was cut off, and they bowed their heads, their expressions fearful.

Zhou Yun Sheng was in the center of the beam of light, his eyes were stabbed by the golden light, it was almost impossible to open them. He was about to stand up to try and figure out his situation, when suddenly, a warm, tall, and strong body embraced him from behind, a big palm gripped his jaw, pointed his face back and upwards, and a fiery hot tongue drilled into his mouth, stirring inside his mouth with frantic strength, exploring, tightly intertwining with his soft tongue.

Another big palm explored his clinging wet robe, gently rubbing his two pink points, then it slid down, pressing him up against a stiff place, while gently caressing.

Zhou Yun Shengs heart pounded in incomparable horror, he quickly released the power in his body, intending to kill this random molester, when a thick, sexy voice suddenly appeared in his mind, Baby, dont be afraid, its me, Adounis.

Adounis? What kind of demon is that? Zhou Yun Sheng glared in anger. Anyone who was inexplicably sexually harassed by a man, who also dared to speak to them with such a familiar tone, will be angry as a matter of course.

Adounis?! Aaaahhh!! Thats the Fathers true name! Its the Father! Brainless Sheng pushed himself to the front in a millisecond.

The boys angry eyes of flame instantly extinguished into wet yearning and adoring. His stiff body relaxed, and he softened like warm honey in the Fathers arms, stretching out as much as possible to facilitate the Fathers caressing.

Father, is that you? Are you loving me? He panted, his curled eyelashes trembled as his neck was kissed and suckled. He wanted to see the Fathers beautiful otherworldly face, but when he turned around the man once again covered his lips, biting and licking, the frantic force seemed like the person wanted to swallow him whole.

Is this really the gentle and loving Father?

The thought just entered his mind, when a sexy voice chuckled and said in an indulging tone, My Joshua, my Little Believer, only I can treat you this way.

This sentence made Brainless Sheng completely lose any lingering resistance, he tightly gripped the Fathers strong arms, and wrapped his legs around the Fathers waist, clinging to him like a vine, opening himself up.

He was fiercely kissed, silver saliva slipped from between their locked lips and dripped into the water, and pulse racing moans occasionally sounded.

He tried to restrain his moans, berating himself with a sad expression. Tears were hanging in the corner of his eyes, refusing to fall, making him look very pitiful.

Call out baby, no one will hear. From now on, you are mine, and you only belong to me. The Light God chuckled, he licked the silver off his mouth with a fascinated expression, as if tasting the worlds most delicious nectar.

Father, Im yours, my everything is yours. Please take me, please enjoy me heartily. Ive already promised myself to you. The boy arched his body and moaned with ecstasy, releasing his inhibitions.

As the fiery moans became louder and more high-pitched, the Light Gods golden eyes turned completely black. He pressed the boy into his chest, trembling with him as they climbed the pinnacle of bliss. He has existed for hundreds of millions of years, but he finally realized what it was to be truly alive, what was true happiness.
