Burnt Offering

The phrase "shepherding tens of thousands of people" immediately gives off a cult vibe; the use of "shepherding" is too clever. This bishop seems too upright right now; based on the previous cult theory, a reversal is inevitable! And the opening uses the story of Satan tempting Adam and Eve, so there's probably more to the story. Author, keep up the good work!

Now it's time for Cyrus's educational enlightenment! We're telling him what the world is like, and teaching him ethics and morality. Now you've truly given me the whole world! The concept of sensing emotions through taste is very interesting and vivid—no wonder she's a succubus! I wonder if I'm over-interpreting it, but the insufficient distribution of resources seems to have another meaning?

Watching Elaina teach Cyrus was so therapeutic... I don't remember how I learned as a baby, but seeing Elaina's teaching felt like I was being raised all over again... So blissful... Reading Bible-themed picture books to a little succubus, hahaha, that's so sacred! Oh my god, Cyrus, you can talk now! 🥹 I'm so happy... Seeing you grow up will bring tears to the eyes of more than just your family...

On one hand, I congratulate my baby girl on successfully exorcising the demon, and on the other hand, I'm so touched by your kindness 😭😭 Baby, you are the best baby in the world. You're still a child yourself, yet you had to start this work [melted emoji]. It's truly not easy.

I never expected her to be such an adorable, innocent, and talented girl. She's so cute! I love her interactions with the bishop 🐶🌹 Before the male lead arrived, I could have been shipping this elder-younger brother relationship (?) Hahaha

Poor child, you're so unlucky to have such eccentric parents... Rest in peace, innocent soul... Medieval style really does look better when paired with something scientifically inexplicable 💪 The sacrificial scene, the state of the altar, the chill felt by the divine messenger—everything is setting the stage for the appearance of some indescribable being! [Let me see] I'm so excited, who is it?

Sister Margaret! You have impressed me greatly! I have never seen you before. You are a wise and calm elder who asks many questions. 🙏 What did the prayers bring? What did the pollution affect? ​​Is the purified relic still the same relic? If the relic were replaced with a person, would the answers change? These are questions that touch upon our worldview and essence. Congratulations to Elena on her promotion!

Irene is growing up so fast! It feels like watching a child grow up; my daughter is blossoming into a beautiful young woman, and a theological genius at that! She memorizes scriptures with ease, and she can quickly master such a complex language as Latin (masculine and feminine genders, tenses, verb conjugations, person correspondences, and so on—it's really hard to learn).

So far, Bishop Elijah has left a very good impression on me. He speaks his mind honestly, admitting what he knows and what he doesn't, without being pretentious or pretending to know what he doesn't. His language is very simple and straightforward.

The church manages the allocation of cemetery plots, conducts funerals, and even functions as an orphanage, taking in children who have lost both parents and suffered great hardship, and registering them. This function is similar to that of the public security department handling household registration. The church's reach is far too far...
