From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 221 The "Contaminated" Fragments of Godhood
India, a magical country, a country that everyone thinks is a blob, but it feels incredibly powerful.

For example, some people might say that America is a drug paradise and the most drug-addicted country in the world—if that statement doesn't include India, then it's certainly true.

But if India is included, then it's not right.

This is a country where drug use began in mythology, and where drugs are distributed by both the government and religious sects. They don't even include these distributed drugs in their statistics!
Compared to this country, America could even be considered "good," since at least they haven't openly put a price tag on the "corpse trade"!

Kolkata, West Bengal, India.

As one of the country's major cities, it was once the capital of British India and is now the country's third largest city.

As soon as Bai Yang disembarked at the port of Kolkata, he smelled an unbearable stench in the air of the city!
It was a very complex stench, a combination of all sorts of peculiar odors, including those from bacterial infection, human decay, material rotting, excrement pollution, and industrial waste gas.

The sky over the city was shrouded in mist, a yellowish-gray fog that enveloped the sky and also the hearts of everyone.

"Hiss... I suddenly regret coming here. What's wrong with me?" Bai Yang couldn't help but say.

His first impression of the city was rather bad.

No wonder many Indian bloggers say that if you think everything said about India online is a stereotype, then all those stereotypes added together, and doubled, make up the reality of the country!
"The aura of the divine fragments is growing weaker and weaker. I dare not imagine what kind of thing could corrupt a divine core?" Bai Yang couldn't help but say.

Before him lay the true face of the city: congested roads, yellowed buildings, and seemingly distinct groups of people.

To the left of this road are slums, shacks made of planks, straw, leaves and felt, while to the right are modern buildings, high-rises and electrified equipment.

There seems to be an endless generation gap between them, yet here they are harmoniously and seamlessly combined.

But Bai Yang couldn't stand it here because his telepathic system was frantically warning him that the population density in this area was too high, and those terrifying thoughts were merging together, even causing him to experience temporary mental confusion!

What do you mean by "yesterday's dog was good, let's try it again today"?

What does it mean that the poop in the middle of the road yesterday wasn't round enough, so you have to poop again today?
What do you mean by saying that if your wife runs away, you have to sell her again to get food?

Some people even saw a nice woman on the street, fantasized about her in their minds, and then decided to kill her that night and sell her body.
Bai Yang stared at these thoughts without saying a word. Was he really in a modern country, a country that had been developing in modern times for more than 70 years?
Instead of being in a primitive society, a primitive era without any civilization?

In a well-known metropolis, what I discovered through the most basic information was actually this kind of thing?
“This country… is utterly sick!” Bai Yang said with some emotion. Without exception, all of these messages came from the slums.

The people here are ignorant, indifferent, rigid, and crude. Ignorance is their defining characteristic, religion is their spiritual belief, and suffering is the only expression rooted in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, this country is truly...very diverse!"

Alvin also seemed quite moved. He had thought that America represented the limit of diversity in the world, but he never expected that there was a country like India that surpassed it.

Bai Yang didn't want to hear these thoughts anymore, so he erased them and temporarily shut them down. He was afraid that listening to too much of them would pollute his mind. Why would anyone discuss the comfort level between dogs and cats?
Just how sick has this country become?

He took a step forward, crossing more than half of the city, and arrived at the limit of the "divine" distance that he could perceive.

This place appears to be a crematorium, as many people bring their bodies here and line up to wait for them to be "burned."

But Bai Yang could see that although the fire was burning, there was no corpse in it. The workers were simply burning wood and moving things around.

As for the corpses that were brought in, after changing hands twice, they were stuffed into another special room, and then some "corpses" were taken out and thrown into the fire.

Those were all corpse models, many of them were just empty shells. They would melt when thrown into the fire, thus completing the transfer and concealment of the corpses.

You think that's the end of it? Not at all. After seeing the body decompose, the crematorium employees will gather thugs to go after the people who brought the body and intimidate them!
"The corpse you sent is unclean and cannot be reincarnated directly. You need to pay a reincarnation fee!"

"Look, their bodies burned away in an instant; that's a sign of impurity!"

"If you don't give him the money, his death will curse your family, preventing you from being successfully reincarnated in your next life!"

To those with discernment, such words seemed like a joke, but to these dark-skinned, low-caste people, they were more real than gold. They hurriedly took out all the money they had, pleading and praying, before the other party accepted the money and successfully "pardoned" their family's "sins."

This did not cause any disturbance to anyone present, because this was simply a routine occurrence at the crematorium.

“I sensed the aura of divinity, right here in this family!” Alvin said, referring, of course, to the family that had just paid money to absolve their family of sins.

So the two followed this family, who were clearly of a low caste, or even an untouchable caste, to their home, a small house in a slum.

Because the family had used all their money to atone for their sins, they had no money left to buy food. So, Jari Moore Covind, the head of the family, chose to work at a nearby factory.

The job they did was help the other party clean up the corpse.

In this city, the trade in corpses is not a clandestine activity, but a public business, one that many people are aware of.

So Jerry brought a body back from the other party's factory, had his family set up a large pot, and began to process the body by cooking and soaking it, and then peeling off the bones, skin, and flesh.

But while handling the body, Jerry's wife touched something in the other person's hand.

She raised her hand in surprise and found it was a "ring" engraved with her husband's name, a bone ring.

The woman was immediately terrified and screamed loudly, attracting everyone's attention. Then she told them about the origin of the corpse!

This is the body of Jari's father, Moore Covind. They were just dealing with their own family members!

In other words, the bodies they just delivered were not cremated, but sold to factories to be turned into bones and sent all over the world!

Now that they have received the body, and are even going to dissect it themselves, it's clear they must have been deceived by those people before!
Everyone was terrified and knelt down to pray. Jerry shouted angrily, wanting to vent his anger, but stopped just before his fist was about to strike.

In the end, he made everyone continue working, dissecting the corpses, removing the bones, and stripping away the flesh, just as they usually did.

Even if what they were dissecting was his father's body, the bones of his relatives!
Soon, the family fell silent again, with only the man's sighs and the woman's sobs echoing softly.

Behind this silence lies a shimmering "fragment of divinity," absorbing everyone's prayers and then emitting a faint light!

"Your Majesty, why don't they question those people and demand an explanation?" Alvin also understood this world, so he knew that in most cultures of this world, life and death were highly valued.

This left him utterly perplexed by the behavior of these people.

"Why? Because they are Dalits, while those who do the work are mostly Shudras or Vaishyas, who are of high caste!"

Bai Yang said indifferently, "Besides, their family is broke. In order to survive, even if the person in front of him is his father, he will still dismember the bones and sell them to get money to buy food!"

He could hear the man's inner thoughts, and therefore saw more.

To his dismay, the other party, even in their most furious moment, didn't even consider "revenge," they were just furious for a moment.

It seems that in the other person's mind, taking revenge on people of higher castes is something they would never even consider.

The fragment of divine essence flew away right before their eyes, seemingly having absorbed all the willpower of this area and was moving on to the next one.

It's really daring! Even Bai Yang didn't dare to absorb the power of will here, fearing he would be assimilated by these unclaimed powers of will. This fragment of divinity actually absorbed it. No wonder no information has been leaked out for so long.

Bai Yang waved his hand, trying to attract the fragment of the divine spark, but he failed. This made him realize that, as expected, over such a long period of time, in an area with such strong faith and willpower, this fragment had been "contaminated" by the immense willpower here!
But that was all. He beckoned again, and the fragment was forcibly drawn over by divine power. At that moment, the God of Lies also came into contact with the spirituality on the fragment.

That kind of willpower appeared in Bai Yang's consciousness!

P.S.: The more I learn about it, the more surreal it seems. India is such a terrifying country; it's the epitome of malice!
