The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 719 Death Ascension
Why do corpses have to be put in the morgue?
What does this have to do with the ascension ceremony?
Liu Sheng finally found the answer from the bodies of his colleagues in the corpse department who were huddled together and hidden in the morgue on the second floor below ground.

……

At the same time, Liu Sheng returned to the office.

This time, she returned to the executive department's office.

As she swung her legs in, no one said anything like, "You don't belong here."

Someone else came over and patted her on the shoulder, "How is it going? Is it going well?"

She controlled her head and nodded slightly.

"That's great. After completing a mission, I can earn a large amount of dedication points to offer to the God of Light!" The other party said enviously, "If you work harder, you will soon reach the standard for ascension!"

"After all, the people in the Corpse Department are the happiest." Another person came over and interrupted, "They don't have to work so hard like us, and they can ascend directly. Did you send two more people up today?"

Liu Sheng controlled himself and nodded again.

"That's great..." The man immediately looked envious.

Hearing this, Liu Sheng paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "Then... why don't you... join... the Corpse Department?"

The voice was hoarse and stuck, as if the vocal cords were being pinched.

"Why does your voice become like this?"

"Injured..."

"Oh, the corpse department is so ignorant that they are resisting, right?"

Liu Sheng nodded.

The shoulder was patted again.

"They are like this. People at the bottom can't figure out what they want, and they regret it in the end."

Another person smiled and continued, "That's right. Don't you think about their qualifications and class? If they hadn't joined the Corpse Department, how could they have had the chance to ascend?"

"However, their way of offering is too painful, I don't want it." Someone shook his head and said, "Although people like us are not rich, at least we can work to earn offerings. It's not fast, but there is always hope."

As the man spoke, he took out his cell phone and tapped it a few times skillfully. Immediately, a clear bell sounded, like a huge bell, echoing in this office from another higher world.

Suddenly, everyone looked serious.

"God of Light is above."

The man proudly showed the screen of his mobile phone to the others. A line of golden text on it stood out: [You have offered 18 points of dedication to the God of Light.]

"Yes, this way of life is long-lasting and brings steady happiness..."

Seeing this, everyone was getting a little anxious. Others had already offered eighteen points, so we couldn't fall behind, so we quickly returned to our positions and got busy.

Liu Sheng also quietly sat back in "his" seat.

Someone asked, "What about the guy you were working with? He usually talks a lot, so it's strange that I can't hear him all of a sudden."

Liu Sheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Well, I guess he went to the toilet to slack off. People like him who don't like to contribute are really not good."

At this time, a crisp sound came from Liu Sheng.

The eyes of the people around her were instantly cast on her, with a hint of envy and jealousy in them.

"Have you received your mission contribution?" someone said in a sour tone.

Liu Sheng opened her cell phone, which was still stained with dark red blood. She wiped it with her gradually stiffening hands as if nothing had happened and clicked on the message interface.

[Complete the task, you have received 30 dedication points, and you can offer sacrifices to the God of Light again! ]

Then a dedication page popped up immediately, with a red background and a cartoon version of the God of Light sitting on it, similar to the one just seen in the temple.

There are several options below: [burn incense], [pray], [draw for divination], and [offering].

Liu Sheng lights up the incense.

Options appear: common, sandalwood, agarwood, ambergris... the list seems endless.

Since he was not using his own contribution value, Liu Sheng unceremoniously slid to the bottom of the list.

[Offering the Holy Fire Incense].

But as soon as I clicked on it, a cold reminder popped up on the screen: [Your contribution value balance is insufficient, please work hard to earn more! ]

Liu Sheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, slid back to the top, and clicked [Normal].

The contribution points will be released immediately at eight o'clock.

Three virtual incense sticks appeared in the center of the screen, with wisps of green smoke rising slowly, and then a prompt popped up:
[The God of Light senses your piety and is quite satisfied with you.]

[Congratulations, you are one step closer to ascension. ]

Immediately afterwards, a progress bar appeared on the screen. The current progress was 21.87%, and it slowly climbed to 21.88% as the incense burned.

This action once again brought about the sound of a clear bell.

Everyone turned to look at Liu Sheng, with obvious jealousy and vigilance in their eyes, as if they were afraid that she would "ascend" first.

Liu Sheng put away his phone expressionlessly.

However, this body itself is not hers, so it is difficult for her to make any expressions.

At this moment, the alarm sounded suddenly.

The ringing sounded rapid and harsh, as if urging something.

"Another mission?" someone asked excitedly.

Especially when seeing Liu Sheng’s harvest, many people became anxious and could not sit still.

However, someone soon noticed something unusual.

"No, this sound seems different..."

"This isn't a mission, this is...an accident!"

"what?"

No one noticed that Liu Sheng pulled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile.

Almost at the same time, all the computer screens in the office were forced to switch to a glaring red interface, and the blood-like color was reflected on everyone's face.

A huge and cold line of text scrolled on the interface:

[Outer gods are invading, your ascension chamber has been hijacked. 】

"How is this going?"

Someone tried to control the computer with a mouse, but found that the system was completely locked and the keyboard and touchpad were unresponsive.

"Also, how did our Ascension Chamber get hijacked? Isn't it true that no one knows about the Ascension Chamber?"

"So where is the Ascension Chamber?"

“Only the boss knows.”

"Where's the boss?"

"do not know."

This chaos was not limited to this one office, but spread to the entire floor and every department.

Work was completely paralyzed. People came out of their respective offices one after another, their expressions gradually changing from anxiety to fear.

Some people also felt something was wrong and wanted to escape to the ground floor.

But when the elevator was opened, it was filled with wriggling golden tentacles. They looked even more dazzling and sacred than the light leaking from the God of Light, but they also had a soul-stirring sacredness that made people dare not look directly at them.

The elevator door slowly closed, and everyone gradually came to their senses.

"Could it really be... an Outer God?" someone murmured.

"What kind of god is this?"

At this time, people who were still in the office facing their computers or holding tablets saw a sentence flash on it:

【I’m glad someone asked this question. 】

Then a line of words slowly emerged:

【My name is Mother Earth.】

……

On the ground floor, a nearly scrapped flying car that could only fly at low altitude stumbled to a stop in front of the glass cover outside Hongsheng Feisheng Co., Ltd.

Seeing the golden tentacles covering the entire glass cover, the car owner, an old man in an outdated suit, looked depressed and frightened.

He shrank back and dared not move forward, but a tentacle suddenly broke through the glass cover and dragged him out of the driver's seat without mercy.

"Ah!" The old man screamed and his body was thrown into the glass cover.

The tentacles dropped him to the ground, and when he looked up, he saw ten corpse department employees in gray uniforms standing in a row.

They were entangled by the tentacles, shivering and looking at him with resentment.

Together, these tentacles make this sound:
"You are the boss here, right?"

The old man stammered, trying to deny it, but the employee in the corpse department beat him to the punch: "That's right! It's him!"

"Very good. Then I want to ask you about the truth behind your so-called ascension..."

The old man shook his head desperately, his face turned pale and he couldn't utter a word.

The tentacles seemed angry.

No, based on the information he saw.

The goddess Earth is angry.

Originally he thought that some hacker had sneaked into his company. After all, he knew that his company's system was old, but he didn't expect it to be such a person.

In anger, the tentacles of Mother Earth grew more and more vigorously, filling the entire glass cover, squeezing it into pieces, and finally shattering it completely in a deafening explosion.

The old man subconsciously closed his eyes, waiting for the glass fragments to cut his skin.

However, the imagined pain did not come - he slowly opened his eyes, only to find that all the glass fragments were caught by the tentacles and suspended around him, like a still sharp wave.

A complex emotion arose in his heart, but the world outside was full of strange auras. Once exposed, he would quickly transform into a monster that was neither human nor ghost.

Looking at this tentacle again, it seemed to be very adapted to this environment, and even seemed to have absorbed something, possessing stronger vitality, and continuously extending upwards - until it completely tore apart the gloomy sky!
The old man was shocked, but he watched intently.

What is the world above like...

Suddenly, there was a bright light, and an extremely huge lamp appeared from the dark crack, shining directly on the ground below.

Under this light, the old man saw a number of black and charred bodies arranged in geometric structures such as long strips and dots.

The lights cast the shadows of these bodies in the lower world, forming the high-rise buildings and busy traffic that people have always admired - the prosperity and future in their eyes, the "upper world" that they devote everything to reach...

The old man was stunned and his mind went blank.

"Boss, this... this is the 'upper realm'?"

A voice came from behind him. He turned around suddenly and found that his employees had crawled out from the ground at some point, staring blankly at the crack in the sky.

"You knew the truth a long time ago, right?" someone asked, with uncontrollable anger in his tone.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say he didn't know.

But no one will believe it.

"So, what exactly is Ascension?"

"Where did our offerings go?"

"Does the God of Light really exist?"

One question after another was like a sharp thorn, leaving the boss speechless.

Until it exploded on the spot.

The boss' mouth was sealed permanently.

What kind of power can do this?
Everyone's devout faith in the God of Light was shaken at this moment, and their dedicated hearts collapsed as the truth was revealed.

Not only those who were protected in the glass house, but also those who were struggling to survive on the barren land raised their heads and looked at the big hole torn in the sky.

Word spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and the shock of the truth spread like a tide.

The faith of devotion gradually disintegrated, and the foundation of the world's faith began to tremble violently.

So the "God of Light" finally couldn't sit still anymore.

Finally appeared...

But it was only on Liu Sheng’s phone.

Liu Sheng looked down and saw that the image of the God of Light on the phone had become much more vivid, as if it had some kind of soul. There were no longer only four options, but instead a dialogue bubble.

【what do you want? 】

Liu Sheng pulled the corner of her mouth again, and she typed a few words lightly: [As expected of the "God of Light", you actually found me directly. 】

The God of Light on the screen shook slightly, [The existence beneath your skin is as dazzling as a bright lamp in the dark night. It is hard not to see it.]

[What do you want? ] He asked again.

Liu Sheng typed calmly:

[What exactly is the so-called ascension? 】

[It seems that you are not a true god. You don’t even know how to ascend.] The corners of the mouth of the God of Light’s animation revealed a vivid sneer.

Liu Sheng's eyes turned cold:
[Haha, you are just a demigod. You are incapable of achieving the so-called "real ascension", yet you call yourself the "God of Light" and you don't even understand why you can't become a god.]

【you know? 】

【certainly. 】

A lively question mark appeared on the lightbulb head of the God of Light.

[So, you know that what I did was not true ascension, but you hijacked my ten ascension chambers and shook the foundation of my faith in this world, just to know why I did this? ]

【Yes. 】

【…】

[Just treat it as... a business exchange? ]

[Or, I can take you to see for yourself what ascension is. ]
