Chapter 9, Sacrifice

Looking at my excited younger brother, his face contorted, filled with jealousy.

This person's behavior and attitude are problematic

Taking advantage of the deserted surroundings, he discreetly harvested a bit from each field, quickly gathering a large handful of grain.

Wouldn't those things be better suited for the tribe

Let us begin," he said with a smile

He was contemplating whether to interrupt this person's ritual

His position as the eldest son will undoubtedly be shaken after this incident

He is hesitating, watching as Gaobier has just ignited the fire. Before the flames can consume the offerings, a sudden gust of wind blows in.

The jealous Gabil did not consider at all what issues there were with his previous behavior and attitude; he merely felt that it was all because of his younger brother that his offering had not been chosen by the gods

Then Habib knelt on the ground, his face filled with devotion

At this moment, his gaze turned towards a direction where the Gaobile brothers were engaged in conversation

Early the next morning, the sky was overcast, with dark clouds covering the heavens; however, this did not hinder the two brothers from conducting their ritual.

Blood stained the small altar

One believes that the divine does not care about offerings, and there is no need to waste too many resources on sacrifices; a little sincerity in the form of a *picture* or a *book* is sufficient

However, if one is to take action, it is evident that one must make their presence known, which is indeed somewhat troublesome. If anything were to be revealed in the film afterwards, that would pose a significant problem

God has responded to me

Since that time, Adan and the others entrusted the sacrificial duties to them, hoping that in this way, the gods would pay more attention to them for a while and then come to favor them a little.

And you?

God surely does not care about offerings, so why waste so much food on sacrifices

The flames burning on the altar appear somewhat sacred under the illumination of sunlight

Gazing at the sunlight, Ge Bi Le found it hard to believe

The premise of all this is based on the absence of a response from God. Since God has responded, it is certain that the actions of Habil are more favored by God, and naturally, others will change their behavior.

He had a look of great joy on his face

If it is merely the offering that has been overturned, it is not a significant matter; however, this miraculous golden light seems to indicate something.

Younger brother Habib did not think much, his face still showing traces of joy, "Don't worry, brother, I will go."

Su Qi, floating in the air, furrowed his brows, and this scene was clearly seen by him

The two forces had maintained a good relationship with mhetushucom for a long time, but now the gods have responded, and this state will certainly no longer exist

Therefore, all subsequent rituals were conducted by them

Habile, who was anxiously waiting at the top of the mountain, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his brother running up with grains and some fruits in his arms

Having done nothing, Su Qi, who was hesitating, said, "... ..."

I have prepared three newborn lambs and some fat, which I hope the deity will like," said Habil with joy

He is feeling excited here, yet he does not see the darkened expression on his brother's face

Under the influence of jealousy, on the way back after the sacrifice, he said to Habil, "When we return, let us go to the field; I have something to discuss with you"

The deity that had never responded has finally replied, but it has nothing to do with him

He hurriedly ran back into the house, picked up a stone knife, and ran towards the field

Over the past two hundred years, it is not only the population that has changed, but also the hearts of the people

Rather than sacrificing one's own, it is better to sacrifice some of others.

If it were just like this, he would not think much of it, at most believing that the weather was bad today, merely a matter of luck, but as the next scene unfolded, his face completely froze.

Just after placing the offering on the altar, Gaobile turned his head and noticed his brother's actions, but he did not pay much attention and simply curled his lip.

The two individuals descended from the mountain peak

This younger brother still wastes such good things every time, he is foolish beyond measure

Why is it that God does not favor him

As the strong wind blew, the dark clouds in the sky shifted slightly, revealing a gap through which a beam of golden light descended, perfectly illuminating the area around the altar of the younger brother

He picked up the flint, preparing to strike it to create a spark.

Moreover, over the years, their sacrificial deity has never manifested, indicating that it certainly does not care for their offerings

The offerings are flying all around

Have I done anything at all? A gust of wind came and scattered the offerings? The dark clouds were also blown away, and the sunlight just happened to shine down?

Due to the frequent sacrifices, the deity has not responded, and because of the offerings, the clan has subtly divided into two factions centered around the two of them

As soon as he arrived in the field, he bent down to cut some of his own grains for the sacrificial rites

Younger brother Habib had already washed and groomed himself early, bringing along three lambs and some sheep fat, and was heading towards the pyramid altar at the mountain top

"Miracle!" he exclaimed softly.

Gao Bile, with a blade of grass in his mouth and a picture book in hand, was taken aback upon hearing this and replied vaguely, "Mm mm mm, I am ready..."

He is unwilling to accept this

Then, he casually picked some wild fruits and hurried towards the mountain top

Su Qi, who was floating above the pyramid, frowned as he observed the actions of Ga Bi Le

Brother Gaobille yawned and, seeing his younger brother hurrying up the mountain after being urged, suddenly remembered that he had forgotten the offerings

Younger brother Habib just returned from shepherding, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and with a bright smile on his face said to his elder brother, "Tomorrow is the time for our sacrifice again, elder brother, have you prepared your offering?"

Another perspective holds that God is supremely exalted, and that our current existence relies entirely on God. Therefore, one should not commit acts that insult God, but rather offer the finest sacrifices to honor Him, as this is the way to gain His favor

Why is Abel's offering considered good, and why was it accepted by God

He then poured the finest oil onto the altar, and ignited the altar, the flames consuming the offerings

Gao Bile wore a look of panic, "What is happening? How could this be?"

Younger brother Habib was initially shocked, followed by joy

God chose the offering of the younger brother, not his www.... hetushucomcom offering

Su Qi floated in the air and saw people almost covering the mountainside, prompting him to observe silently.

At that very moment, he felt that his position was under threat

The corners of his mouth twitched

It is not merely a matter of discontent; what he envies even more is that Habil has received a response from God

What basis does Habil have to be valued by God

The fierce wind not only extinguished the newly ignited flames but also scattered the offerings such as grains.

That coincidental scene, not to mention the two of them, if it weren't for his knowledge that he hadn't acted, he would probably have thought that he himself had taken action

The fragrance produced by the burning of fat and oil wafts through the air

Hoo.

After all, every ritual is the same; is it really necessary to make it so solemn? The gods won't care anyway

Su Qi gazed at their departing figures, still pondering the inexplicable scene from before

Near the pyramid altar, two small platforms appeared. Habil hurriedly placed three lambs on them and then slaughtered them with a stone knife

However, at that moment, he noticed that there was no one around, and instinctively glanced at the grains of the neighboring household, his eyes darting around.

My sacrifice!" Gaobile looked flustered

Oh..." Gaobile casually responded, feeling in his heart that his younger brother was truly foolish beyond measure
