Pyramid Built for God

"Pyramid?" Su Qi looked astonished.

Although this pyramid was somewhat crude and very small, its overall shape was recognizable at a glance.

Pyramids, strange structures found all over the world...

The first pyramid had actually been built by Adan?

Thinking about it that way, the countless pyramids of later generations had an explanation.

As the ancestor of humanity, Adan naturally had influence. It seemed perfectly normal for his descendants to continue this architectural style and spread it throughout the world.

Egyptian pyramids...

Maya pyramids...

All kinds of pyramids spread across the world...

Why had humanity built so many pyramids?

"Were all of these built for me?"

Su Qi's scalp tingled.

"This must be a coincidence, right?"

He silently watched Adan and the others finish building the Pyramid Altar, then hold a grand sacrificial ceremony.

During the ceremony, joyful smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

At that moment, the scene before him rapidly blurred, and a prompt sounded.

Time continued to pass, and another hundred years went by in the blink of an eye.

As the population gradually increased, Adan fell into distress. Food was no longer enough, the wild beasts nearby grew fewer and fewer, and hunting became increasingly difficult...

Seeing the people grow thin, sometimes full and sometimes starving, Su Qi frowned slightly.

At noon one summer day, Adan truly had no other choice. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to seek help from God.

There was not a cloud in the sky. The blazing sun hung overhead, and the heat was so intense that not even a bird could be seen flying.

The four people before the Pyramid Altar were drenched in sweat from the sun, yet they paid it no mind. Their eyes gleamed as they gazed at the Pyramid Altar with utmost seriousness.

Adan and Hawa had brought their eldest son, Gobil, and their second son, Habil. The others had not come and were waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Besides praying to God this time, Adan and Hawa had another private hope: that their two sons could gain God's recognition!

For all this long time, God had communicated only with the two of them and never with anyone else. This made them deeply uneasy.

Could it be that God did not acknowledge their descendants?

If they died one day, what would become of humanity?

Without God, would humanity perish?

That was why they were so anxious. They hoped to use this opportunity to let Gobil and Habil gain God's recognition.

At that moment, Adan knelt before the altar and shouted, "Almighty God, who knows all things, please grant us some guidance and drive hunger away from us!"

As he spoke, he respectfully took three deer, placed them atop the pyramid's flat summit, slaughtered them, drained their blood, and lit a fire.

The flames burned and devoured the offerings.

Looking at the three deer—enough to feed more than a dozen tribespeople for a day—Adan felt no regret at all. Instead, he worried that the offerings were insufficient.

God surely did not care about offerings, but they could not offer nothing.

Floating above the altar and watching the deer burn, Su Qi remained expressionless and paid little attention to the so-called offerings.

After glancing at Adan, Hawa, Gobil, and Habil, he understood why they had come.

Food was easy enough to solve. They only needed to raise livestock and cultivate crops.

With no intention of speaking to them, he pondered briefly before directly transmitting knowledge of those two methods to Adan and Hawa.

Once again bathed in radiance, the two of them felt a stream of knowledge emerge in their minds and fell into a daze.

Animal husbandry?

Farming?

They had never considered such things before, but after thinking about them for only a moment, they understood that they were feasible and could not help looking shocked.

"Father, Mother, what happened?" Habil asked curiously.

"God has bestowed knowledge upon us—knowledge of animal husbandry and farming!" Adan explained excitedly.

"Animal husbandry? Farming?"

Habil and Gobil looked confused.

Then Adan and Hawa explained it to them, leaving two more people staring in stunned silence.

"As expected of the God who knows all things. Humanity's difficulties were solved so easily, and with methods we had never even considered." Habil's face was full of worship.

Like his father and mother, he quickly analyzed the feasibility of the two methods and could not help marveling at God's omniscience.

His elder brother Gobil was much the same, except unlike Habil, he felt an added sense of reverence toward God.

The omnipotent God filled him with fear.

Although God had never appeared, that very mystery only made his fear stronger.

After that, Adan and Hawa's attempt to have their sons gain God's recognition failed, because God never responded from beginning to end.

This left them anxious and afraid.

In the end, Hawa forced a smile and said, "God has granted us two methods. That must be some kind of recognition."

She comforted Adan and their two sons.

Upon hearing that, they reconsidered it. Their eyes brightened slightly, and they sighed in relief, no longer quite so panicked.

Afterward, Adan slowly taught the two methods to his sons.

The eldest son mainly learned farming, while the second son mainly learned animal husbandry.

Following the knowledge in their minds, Adan and the others began searching for animals and plants suitable for raising and cultivating.

While they were developing, Su Qi had already flown back to the Garden of Eden.

Looking at the mountaintop, where no wild beasts had come even now due to the magnetic field and other factors, he shook his head.

He drifted toward the center of the orchard, hovering over the water as he looked at the Tree of Life.

It had ten branches in total. Nine drooped downward, while one grew upward, making it look quite strange.

After so much time had passed, the fruits that had once been picked from the Tree of Life had long since grown back. One fruit hung from each drooping branch, gradually becoming plump and round.

They were entirely orange-gold, like ten suns hanging from the branches.

You thought they looked beautiful, and an evil desire arose in your heart. You wanted to pick one and taste it.

Su Qi's mouth twitched.

This damned narrator and its evil desires!

"What a pity. They're useless to my body during the simulation."

Somewhat regretful, Su Qi could only wait until the simulation was about to end, then pick them all and package them up to see if he could bring them back with him. Ahem...

He was very curious. Adan and Hawa had become intelligent after eating only one Wisdom Fruit, so what would happen if his real-world self ate a whole pile of them?

And although the Tree of Life bore only ten fruits, each one could extend life. Could they cure cancer?

Or at the very least, slow it down?

"Forget it. I'll think about it when the simulation ends."

Just as he finished pondering, he suddenly discovered that the scene before him had blurred again.

Time passed, and another two hundred years went by...

In the blink of an eye, the trees before him had grown even taller, their branches and leaves more luxuriant.

Su Qi: "..."

Shaking his head, he decided to see how Adan and the others were doing after two hundred years.

His illusory body rose from the water and flew toward the distant low mountain.

Over long stretches of time, some things would inevitably change.

Adan and Hawa, who had eaten the fruit of the Tree of Life, were no longer young either. They had grown somewhat old.
