Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

Chapter 387 The Path to Godhood: The Black Sun Staircase.

Satan was horrified to discover that his hands were out of his control.

The Trident of Poseidon stopped in front of Jiang Chaosheng's forehead, unable to penetrate any further.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at his right hand.

The hand that was holding the trident had been clung to by several shadowy, ghostly hands.

The shadows were like chains crawling out of the abyss, gripping his wrists tightly.

Jiang Chaosheng had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were calm.

Everything is going as expected.

This body of Adam was not only coveted by Satan, but also desired by him.

Why did you let Lilith leave last night?

Yang Xiao had already followed them then, originally intending only to investigate the location of Eden.

Yang Xiao used the Shrinking Earth technique to catch up with Lilith and attach himself to her shadow.

After Lilith entered the Garden of Eden, Yang Xiao followed her in.

He devoured the shadow of a human from Eden—a shadow being equivalent to a soul.

Yang Xiao thus became a member of Eden.

The Garden of Eden disappeared, Adam became sanctified, and all humanity became necessities for sanctification, including Yang Xiao, who had infiltrated the Garden.

After Adam became a saint, Yang Xiao has been trying to become Adam's shadow.

He succeeded; he succeeded before Satan came.

If Adam dies, Yang Xiao will be able to take over his body.

If Yang Xiao takes over the body first, Satan will certainly not dare to show himself, and thus there will be no chance to kill Satan.

After Satan possessed Adam's body, this body formed a tripod:

Yang Xiao, Adam's consciousness, Satan.

Meng Xing was right about one thing—Jiang Chaosheng was indeed depleting Satan's divine power, just to give Adam a chance to rebel.

When Satan and Adam are fighting for control of the body, that is their most vulnerable moment, and also the best time for Yang Xiao to make his move.

Suddenly, Satan's body trembled, and his facial muscles twitched unnaturally.

Half of his face showed Satan's angry and bewildered expression.

The other half of his face revealed Yang Xiao's standard villainous smirk, and he said arrogantly, "You're still far from being as cunning as my husband."

Jiang Chaosheng's smile froze.

This kid seems to be cursing at me.

Where did they get the guts?

The other half of Satan's face twisted in fury: "One body carrying three consciousnesses—you'll become a madman, a madman lost in his own mind!"

Yang Xiao's face froze for a moment, then he clutched his stomach and let out a piercing laugh: "Huh? A madman? You're talking to me as a madman?"

The laughter stopped abruptly.

That half of his face slowly became numb and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

His voice was deep and resonant, as if it had been pulled from the bottom of a well: "I've been for a long time."

He slowly raised his hand, covering half of Satan's face with his eyes—

It also severed Satan and Adam's connection with this world.

Yang Xiao raised his head.

The sky instantly turned pitch black.

A black hole appeared in the sky, like a pitch-black sun.

A series of black staircases descended from the sun, landing at Yang Xiao's feet to welcome this new god.

Yang Xiao stepped onto the stairs.

His face was no longer Adam's, but Yang Xiao's naturally ugly face.

His expression was indifferent and numb.

"From this day forward, the light will no longer guide the way."

The shadow is the real earth.

He stepped onto the second level, and the shadows beneath his feet spread outwards like a tide.

"Wherever there is a shadow, there is my authority."

Level 3.

"Each of you has a shadow following you."

And all the shadows follow me.

Level 4.

"Those who believe in me will sleep peacefully in the shadows."

Those who do not believe in me, become a part of me in the shadows, and thus bear witness to me.

He paused for a moment on the fifth step and chuckled softly.

The laughter was mixed with sobs, screams, and murmurs, like countless completely different recordings playing at the same time.

"This mortal realm, this cycle of reincarnation, everything the gods have left behind."

Level 6.

"They will all be swallowed by the shadows."

Level 7.

"Reassembled into—"

'

He paused for a long time on the eighth level.

"A completely new look."

With his final step, he stepped onto the dark sun, turned around, and looked down upon the world.

Countless shadows surged behind him, like a million arms waving.

He spoke.

Thousands of voices overlapped and spoke simultaneously.

I embrace every consciousness equally.

Regardless of social status or wealth.

because""

He stood on the dark sun, a very faint smile curving his lips.

"The shadows of God and man fall on the earth and weigh the same."

To me, you are all the same thing.

On the black steps, shadows appeared, prostrating themselves devoutly, worshipping their gods.

Yang Xiao turned around to face the world, with the black sun behind him.

His voice became vast again, like the simultaneous cries of thousands of vengeful ghosts.

What was horrifying was that the voice whispered in the ears of everyone in the Xia Kingdom: "I do not want faith."

I do not want offerings.

I neither judge nor save anyone.

I will simply remember all of you and then blend everything into one color.

That color is called shadow.

So when you are weary of the world, look down at your shadows that you have never paid attention to, and chant the name of my God.

I will lead you to true equality for all beings.

Yang Xiao lowered his head and looked at Jiang Chaosheng, who was sitting on the ground, smiling at him.

There was a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Jiang Chaosheng's expression was exactly like that of someone sitting in front of a primary school arts performance stage watching their own son perform, filled with pride and satisfaction.

Yang Xiao smiled gently: "I am the darkness beneath the twilight, and I am also the shadow of the human emperor—Croissant I am, the Black Emperor."

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Meng Xing beside him: "Not bad, right?"

The blue flames on Meng Xing's body grew dimmer and dimmer, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to vanish at any moment.

But he didn't care that he was about to die; he simply nodded earnestly and said, "You have a good younger brother."

Jiang Chaosheng chuckled and continued to look up at Yang Xiao's performance on the stage of the Black Sun.

Yang Xiao slowly sat on the throne forged by the black shadows.

The moment he sat down, Yang Xiao disappeared.

The black sun disappeared. The black staircase disappeared.

All that remained between heaven and earth was the ordinary human night.

Jiang Chaosheng was stunned.

Even if Yang Xiao hadn't disappeared, he would still be that strong. What could be wrong with that?

But—he had just clearly heard Yang Xiao exclaim in surprise—"Holy crap!"

At this moment, the little shadowy figure on the arm got up and anxiously gestured in front of Jiang Chaosheng.

Jiang Chaosheng blinked: "You mean, you've traveled to another world?"

The little shadow figure nodded frantically and continued gesturing.

"You mean, the place is filled with yin energy, and there are many creatures from the underworld there?"

The shadowy figure nodded vigorously.

Jiang Chaosheng's eyes twitched suddenly as if he had just thought of something.

Isn't this the underworld?

The Land of the Dead is gone, the Netherworld is gone, and the Underworld is gone.

The hellish creatures of Avici Hell are all currently in Xia Kingdom; it's impossible for them to be everywhere from the underworld. Therefore, Yang Xiao didn't fall into Avici Hell.

Could it be—the fifth realm that no one in the underworld has ever discovered?
