Chapter 3 does not contain the name of a god, Jehovah.
"What is the goddess's name, and where does she come from?"
The girl who appeared out of nowhere, dressed in a white robe, had a beautiful and serene quality like moonlight; it was as if seeing her could calm one's heart.
However, Aroha knew very well that this girl's strength was by no means simple. Her appearance was even more abrupt than the jackal god who had suddenly appeared in front of Aroha before.
The girl had clearly been there the whole time, but Aroha hadn't realized it.
When she appeared before Aroh, it caused the divine realms representing two different directions deep within Aroh's eyes to tremble simultaneously.
This feeling has only occurred once, when Araha first met Isis, the Egyptian goddess of life.
This book was first published on the Taiwanese novel website, 𝓉𝓌𝓀𝒶𝓃.𝒸ℴ𝓂, offering a super smooth reading experience with error-free and disordered chapters.
Immediately, his gaze towards the girl became even more ardent, and he inquired about her identity and background.
"My name is Sariel. I am not a god. In the whole kingdom of heaven and in all the worlds, only my lord can be called a god."
The girl remained calm and unperturbed in the face of Aroha's fervent enthusiasm, showing no unusual reaction.
When she uttered the title "My Lord," she appeared somewhat solemn, and her eyes held an unwavering and resolute conviction.
"Sariel?"
Aroha knew little about Western mythology and was not a religious person.
He was able to recall the jumbled memories of his past life as he became a god.
The name Sariel appears briefly in some novels or entries; he is likely one of the angels under Jehovah's throne.
Sariel, of course, did not leave as deep an impression as Michael, Lucifer, and Gabriel, and Aroha did not intend to delve into more detailed accounts about her.
After living in the world of Egyptian mythology for decades, Araha had come to understand that knowing all the myths and legends passed down from his previous life was not always a good thing.
After all, any mythological system has various versions, just like the Eastern mythology he is more familiar with.
For example, angels are genderless, but in the eyes of the Aroh (the one who sees through all worlds), Sariel's essence is that of a woman.
Regarding the secrets between the gods, only what is seen can be called known.
"Your Lord? Jehovah?" Aroha chuckled. "But you don't know that in your eyes, the Egyptian gods, and even the gods of other worlds, shouldn't be called 'gods.' What should they be called then?"
This question, however, made Sariel frown: "My Lord is my Lord, whom the world should honor as 'God,' and has never heard of her manifesting the name of Jehovah. There is no god named Jehovah in all the ages."
"As for those natural beings and immortal beings other than my Lord, they may be friends of God, enemies of God, heretics who walk through the world, and devils who deceive people."
Sariel's answer made Aroha smile again, just as he had just thought.
In a previous life, the God of the Hebrews became the common God of many ethnic groups, and was called God, God, Allah, and many other names.
His true name is often translated as "Jehovah" or "Yahweh".
But are these titles truly His name?
Perhaps it's just another name that believers use for this "one God".
Aroha did not dwell on the name of the Hebrew god, and continued to ask, "What does He want from me?"
Despite his desire to possess Sariel, Araha restrained himself.
As a "minor" deity, he did not yet possess the power to suppress Sariel or Isis, who had previously served as his research subject.
"A miracle worker from a mysterious foreign land, an existence that manipulates life and death and stands outside of destiny, my Lord sent me here to repay you for your protection of God's chosen people, and also to remind you that you are in danger."
Sariel's answer made Aroha tremble with fear, and he prepared to listen carefully to how the angel would describe his current predicament.
However, Sariel did not rush to explain the perilous situation of Aroha. Instead, he held the jade staff that had been used by Hebrew girls for decades in both hands and bowed to offer it to Aroha.
In an instant, Aroh saw that the jade staff immediately transformed into a scepter like those held by many gods in this world, and it was even connected to a special kingdom.
In this land, light shines everywhere, and the sacred mountain stands tall. At the very top of the sacred mountain, amidst endless light, there is a distant and indistinct figure.
He stood there as always, past, present, and future.
"The God of the Hebrews?"
Aroha muttered to himself, no longer referring to himself as "Jehovah God," nor could he possibly call him "God" or "Lord."
The kingdom vanished in a flash, but the jade staff that Sariel held in her hands, and the white woolen blanket at her feet stained with bloodstains as mottled as flower petals, underwent even more bizarre changes.
These two things, which were clearly just exquisite mortal objects, became divine artifacts imbued with divine power and laws at this moment.
"The Staff of Chastity is destined to be one of the most revered sacred objects in the hearts of all female believers in the Kingdom of Heaven. Our Lord has bestowed this staff upon us, which can penetrate the hidden places of all women who are born with natural instincts and longevity."
"The blanket of protection, under its protection, all sins can be forgiven by my Lord, and will not be judged."
Upon hearing this, Aroh understood the purpose of the two artifacts: the former seemed to be for use outside of Heaven, while the latter was for use within Heaven.
He even sensed that the Hebrew God intended to incorporate him into the Kingdom of Heaven.
The blanket of protection, where sins can be forgiven and judgment will not befall him, is clearly a "benefit" prepared for him, subtly telling him that it doesn't matter if he does wrong things after joining the Kingdom of Heaven.
This was not explicitly stated, and Arohha simply pretended not to know.
He was quite interested in the "Staff of Chastity".
It can penetrate the hidden realms of all naturally born female beings and immortal beings, which means it can penetrate the divine domain of goddesses.
Aroha had previously learned from his beloved family and brother, the storm god Set, that, apart from a few special beings like himself, gods could only form their own divine realms once they became chief gods.
As for the divine kingdom, which is a step above the divine realm, it is rare in the entire Egyptian mythological world; it is a power that exists above the chief god.
Perhaps this is what the Hebrew God meant by the Kingdom of Heaven.
"So, Sariel, can this staff also penetrate your secret place?"
The sudden question left Sariel speechless, and a hint of panic appeared on her calm but beautiful face.
This surprised Arakha. Had he asked something embarrassing?
"The sanctuary of the angels is the foundation of one's own beliefs. One should not enter it lightly without an invitation, as it is easy to be regarded as hostile."
The irrelevant answer immediately made Aroha realize that it should be able to be penetrated. He couldn't help but stroke his chin, thinking that this "Staff of Chastity" was indeed a good thing. The Hebrew god was willing to spend a lot of money to recruit him.
"However, it's probably not appropriate to use this thing for Hebrew girls anymore, to do the secret things we used to do."
The jade stick, transformed into a scepter, is clearly more suitable for women. To give it to innocent young girls would be far too cruel.
"We are grateful for your kindness and your concern for those poor lambs. But don't worry, for the time being, voters will not be able to marry, and the previous secrets will be out of the question."
Sariel's soft sigh surprised Araha: "Why is that?"
"The aging sun issued a divine decree that all newborn Hebrews who are male shall be drowned and shall not exist under the sun of this world."
"He has made up his mind to exterminate the chosen people of his Lord who are unwilling to submit to him."
As he said this, Sariel's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Although it wasn't directed at Arokh, it still made him feel a bone-chilling cold.
"Is this what an angel, like a supreme god, is like? A single thought gave me this feeling. What Seth warned me back then was very true: before you grow up, it's best not to try to fight against a supreme god."
Seemingly realizing that his "excitement" had affected Arakha, Sariel quickly apologized to Arakha: "Miracle from a foreign land, I did not mean it, please forgive me."
Aroha, of course, didn't mind. He shook his head and repeated the way Sariel had addressed him before: "Miracle from a mysterious foreign land, an existence that manipulates life and death and stands outside of destiny, is this what your lord calls me?"
"Shouldn't I be a god born in Egypt?"
Sariel replied, "My Lord said that you were not born naturally in Egypt, but in the void where several worlds meet. However, at the time of your coming, you were drawn here by the sun of this world, through the primordial lotus."
Aroh had certainly heard of the primordial lotus. Ra, the sun god in Egyptian mythology, was said to have been born from a lotus that bloomed in the primordial waters.
Aroh had no recollection of how he was "born." If the words of the Hebrew god were true, then this primordial lotus might be of immeasurable use to him.
However, obtaining the lotus flower, the source of the birth of the sun god Ra, is even more difficult than obtaining the goddess of life Isis, or the messenger of Sariel before us.
"The Lord asked me to tell you that as long as you are willing to join the Kingdom of Heaven, the Lord will definitely help you obtain that lotus flower and let it bloom with you."
Aroha smiled, but instead of answering the question directly, he continued, "Tell me about the perilous situation I'm facing?"
Sariel sighed inwardly. Just as the Lord had said, this miracle worker from a mysterious foreign land would not easily submit to any being.
"Any naturally born or immortal being who obtains a divine position will be suppressed by the corresponding powerful naturally born or immortal being..."
"Stop. Don't use your heavenly terminology, like 'natural beings' or 'immortal beings.' Use my more familiar term, 'gods,' to explain it."
The terms "natural being" or "immortal being" sound too convoluted. For Arakha, it would be more appropriate to describe him as a deity.
"Not all so-called mortals or gods can live forever. Some can be classified as naturally born, while others can only be called immortal beings…" Sariel pouted her rosy lips, wanting to continue explaining.
However, Araha interrupted again: "It's a very simple concept, and there's no need to avoid the word 'god' at all."
Sariel was furious. If it weren't for the Lord's instructions not to offend the natural being before her on this trip, she would have loved to unleash a "Moon Judgment" on him.
But there was no other way; the task assigned by the Lord had to be completed. Sariel could only put on a cold face and change his previous words.
"Any deity…" Her tone changed slightly when she spoke of deities, "…is subject to the suppression of the corresponding chief deity while receiving a divine office, and those chief deities can even gradually acquire the authority of that deity."
"You do not have a corresponding chief god now, but above the chief god, there is the ruler of all gods."
"The power of domination is omnipresent in the world; nothing can escape their eyes and ears if they so choose."
"The sun of this world, Ra, is an extremely special existence even among the gods. His divine power is almost all-encompassing. Any god who holds a divine office in this world will gradually have his power absorbed by him."
At this point, Araha had another question and asked, "Then, if you appeared before me, wouldn't that mean the sun god Ra already knew about it?"
Upon hearing this question, Sariel didn't seem to mind that Aroha had interrupted him; instead, he seemed somewhat gloating: "This world doesn't go according to Sunra's plan."
"For countless years, it has been attacked by the Sumerian gods, invaded by the Akkadian gods, bullied by the Babylonian gods, and not long ago attacked by the Hittite kingdom of a thousand gods. The whole world is leaky and riddled with holes."
"The rulers of other worlds have left traces of their origins here, which cannot be washed away to this day. Gods from many worlds like to wander here, and the Sun Ra can hardly stop them. In addition, he is old and decaying, and is powerless to see us under the Lord's cover."
Arakha had no concept of the Hittite Kingdom, but he could find some relevant information about Sumer, Akkad, and Babylon from his memories.
In their previous lives, these were three peoples who originated in Mesopotamia, and even the Hebrews were one of them.
Unexpectedly, in the mythical world he now inhabits, they have become different divine kingdoms, and both have attacked Egypt, just like in his previous life.
"I wonder if the mythical world of India exists, and whether it has always been ruled by foreign gods?"
While Araha was lost in thought, Sariputra began to continue discussing Araha's situation.
"The sun made you the god of rebirth so that he could gradually gain the same authority as you, or at least acquire some of the power, to help himself better welcome rebirth."
"Decades have passed, and he must have gained something from this experience and is now planning a new rebirth."
"When Ra is reborn, your authority will be useless to him, but it will be of great use to the many gods of this world, as well as the rulers who are slightly less powerful than Ra."
"They must also want to become stronger, just like Ra, through repeated deaths and resurrections."
"So, are you prepared to face the threat of those wolves-like creatures
