The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

The flames ignited the tree roots, and the firelight illuminated the entire capital, symbolizing endless life.

The true god has descended.

Before the eyes of all the pilgrims, the true God slowly appeared before them.

At the moment of His descent, countless servants of the gods sang His name aloud and recited His deeds.

This god-king, who ruled the world for a thousand years, appeared.

He was dressed entirely in clothes made of gold thread, wore a golden crown on his head, and held a golden scepter inlaid with jewels in his hand. This dazzling golden attire stunned most ordinary people.

Because in the common people's understanding, God should be like this, God is like this.

They all held their breath and looked at Xue Dinglu, who was at the forefront, and Lan Lin'er, who was looking down.

No, we should now call her by her real name, Lan Yi.

"Daughter, stand behind your father." These were the first words the God-King spoke.

The group looked at each other in disbelief. Then, they saw the girl who had been by Xue's side the whole time, the girl who had taken on the role of a "nurse" after treating the patient. She was actually the daughter of God!

Shock spread through the crowd, and whispers filled the air.

However, neither the God-King nor Xue Lude cared about the heavenly fire that the gods and nobles in the distant capital were enduring. Before the heavenly fire had dissipated, groundwater flooded in, and the surging waves submerged their mansions.

The God King looked at Xue Luding, his eyes filled with shock and satisfaction, and said, "You are even more outstanding than I imagined."

"You've achieved what I once did in such a short time. You're really impressive." The Mind Flayer seemed to particularly enjoy this way of speaking, his tone full of arrogance. "You are qualified to take your family to the realm of the gods."

“I have no family,” Xue Dinglu said directly.

This moment silenced the god-king, and also silenced the whispers of all his followers, who stared blankly at the scene.

"I see." A slight smile appeared on the God King's lips. "Although you have no family, you still have me, Lanling and Lanyi. We can all be your family, and I can act as a father figure and guide you."

These words caused everyone present to freeze in their thoughts, as if something was amiss with the God-King's words, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.

For a moment, I felt an unbearable discomfort, like scratching my head and cheeks.

The God-King didn't seem to be waiting for Xue's answer, but instead said, "For example, you seem to be particularly dissatisfied with the existing divine nobles. In fact, I have been dissatisfied with them for a long time. Relying on the fact that they are the descendants of my close friend, they abuse the power I have given them without any restraint."

"Even after all these years, the world's population has not increased; on the contrary, it has gradually declined. If you are dissatisfied with them, you may kill them all, overthrow the theocracy, and establish yourself as king. You may implement any system you wish to implement; it is up to you," the God-King said.

He looked towards the direction of the capital, his face beaming with joy, but a hint of dissatisfaction also lingered over the presence of the divine nobles there.

The so-called divine nobles are naturally the descendants of his old friends who fought alongside him against the angels a thousand years ago. Among those friends who helped him overthrow the angels, some possessed sufficient qualifications to become his subordinate gods after becoming the God-King, possessing the power of a quasi-5th apostle.

However, some people simply lack the talent no matter how much resources they are given, so they become the kings of the human world, and their descendants are the current divine nobles and branch nobles.

The god-king believed he had shown great leniency and favor to the descendants of his deceased friend, but thousands of years later, he also discovered that...

too slow.

The collection of human beings and souls is too slow.

After more than a thousand years of development, the population of the entire theocracy has only reached a mere ten million. Every year, he has to collect the bodies and souls of at least one million people to supply the divine tree. However, now, for countless years, the divine nobles have been unable to provide that number of corpses.

Even among these handed-in corpses, nearly half were those who had already degenerated and could not provide much energy at all.

The sacred tree, which should have been in bloom at this time of year, has only managed to produce a single flower bud, and it is still a long way from actually flowering and bearing fruit.

The God-King's patience with these descendants of his old friends had been exhausted.

After he believed that the remnants of that world's consciousness had chosen a "hero," he naturally wanted to select that new hero to be his representative and spokesperson.

In particular, if this "hero" is dissatisfied with the gods and nobles, then let him replace the gods and nobles and become the new king, or become a god who specifically controls the human world.

Although the original plan was to completely tame him through his daughter, the plan changed, and the time was too short. Before the taming effect could be fully achieved, the hero of this world had already become a god.

But it doesn't matter. He is confident that his daughter has the ability to keep such a young hero by her side like a dog. He is confident that as long as this young hero comes into contact with his daughter, who has been nurtured by him for a thousand years and has absorbed the nutrients of the divine tree, he will be completely infatuated with her and unable to extricate himself.

For living beings, their own daughter is a thousand times more attractive than some addictive drugs.

After all, it was his own daughter, but after she was born, he secretly put her into the flower bud of the divine tree and stole a lot of the divine tree's energy.

He did this for his daughter's own good, and for her future. After all, the corpse of an angel was still hanging on the sacred tree at that time. It was as if his daughter had taken this opportunity to not only absorb the essence from the angel's corpse, but also to take a bit of the essence of the sacred tree.

A daughter born in this way is a born holy spirit, a natural half-daughter of the world, the most perfect goddess who will captivate anyone who comes into contact with her. This attraction from the sacred tree and the world is irresistible to any living being.

So, to avoid many problems, he sealed his daughter away and separated her from the Holy Spirit.

This was for his daughter's future. He didn't want his future son-in-law to fall in love with his daughter merely for the sake of that holy thing, but rather he wanted to lock her in with the purest love.

This old father is truly heartbroken over his daughter.

Seeing his daughter, who kept her head down, and Xue Luding, who could cross the gap between mortals and gods in just a few days and reach the standard to ascend to godhood, he showed a satisfied expression.

So the plan has changed. Let's completely unite the Holy Spirit aspect of our daughter with him, making him utterly loyal to me.

Even so, it's like giving that kid a free ride, letting him marry both of my daughters at the same time.

However, since my daughter has chosen him, so be it. But first, I need to set up a new seal specifically for this boy on my daughter, so that he won't be able to get his hands on the meat so easily. Then, after taming him for several hundred more years, we can complete the task.

In the mind of the God-King, all the plans for the future had already been meticulously arranged.

First, let this brat have half of the daughter's body, then he can only touch the other half, but cannot go any further. After keeping him in suspense for hundreds of years, let him finally get what he wants.

This old father is truly worried sick about ensuring his son-in-law's loyalty to his daughter and giving her a perfect future and family.

He seemed completely unaware that he was using his daughter as a commodity and a means of exchange.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, and "Lan Ling" with long silver hair appeared behind him.

"Then you may marry my daughter," the God-King said slowly, "as if you were marrying twin sisters."

Looking at the beautiful, angelic silver goddess, the pilgrims behind them, though resolute in their hearts, could only close their eyes, bow their heads, and pray silently.

The saint's hardships and wanderings led to this ending, which, to them, was the arrival of a myth, a sacred poem, and a legendary story to be passed down for thousands of years to come.

But why do they always feel a little empty? The saint became the son-in-law of the god-king, married two goddesses, and took over the human world in place of the god-king.

Is this really a good ending?

This question arose in their minds.

However, Xue Dinglu simply raised his head slowly, now only able to look up at this god-king, but he said without any respect, "You can go now."

"Hmm?" The God King was puzzled, not understanding what Xue Lude meant. However, behind him, the voices of "two daughters" suddenly came in unison.

He said, "We can go in now!"

Chapter 282 That's not a monster, it's a god!

The God-King had no defenses against his daughter.

Whether it was Lan Yi, who represented the human side, or Lan Ling, who represented the holy side, or Lan Lin'er, who was their true union, he was completely unprepared.

He loved his daughter so much that he would secretly place her in the flower bud of the sacred tree when she was born, seal her holy face, and try his best to give her the best partner and future.

He believed that his daughter could fully understand his love, and that she could have enough respect for him as her father, even to the point of pursuing him as if he were an ideal.

Therefore, he absolutely trusts his daughter and has no reservations about his blood relatives.

So when he heard Xue say "we can go ahead," he was puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

He said, "We can go in now!"

Suddenly, two attacks came from behind him without warning. Because of his absolute trust in his daughter, he didn't even have time to react before the attacks struck his body.

The Frost Signal Halberd and the Ten-Fist Sword pierced his kidneys almost simultaneously. That weapon, carrying the ultimate patricide and the concept of "slaughtering the entire clan," instantly pierced through the God King's kidneys and body.

This sudden change shocked countless pilgrims, but after the initial shock, a bloodthirsty and excited light appeared in their eyes.

It was a war of gods, and the war of gods broke out right here, right before our eyes!

Hide? Hide what? Being able to see the war of gods up close, to see the saints raise the banner of rebellion against the evil god-king, they were so excited they practically waved the flag. If they could just see the war of gods like this, even dying would be worth it!

At that same moment, even the God King was stunned.

Then came unbearable pain and rage. Why? Why did my daughter betray me? Why?

He turned his head sharply and saw Lanling, who had discovered her daughter's Holy Spirit side. At that moment, angelic phantom wings and that familiar angelic aura emerged from behind her.

This angelic aura is exactly the same as the angel he killed a thousand years ago!

The angel laughed, revealing a terrifying and malicious expression, and said, "Father, your daughter is about to kill you! Why aren't you laughing? Don't you want to laugh? Smile, smile, smile!"

Seeing the angel's distorted expression, the God-King knew exactly what had happened. The angel inside his daughter's body was the one who had died a thousand years ago, whose body was still hanging on the divine tree and rotting!

Why? Why is this happening? Did I make a mistake from the beginning? Did I place my daughter on the flower bud of the sacred tree, and then did my daughter's Holy Spirit aspect actually carry the soul and memory of an angel?

This was the first thing the God-King thought of; he still doesn't know the truth.

Then, he instantly flew into a rage, and a terrifying shockwave exploded from his body, blasting Lan Ling and Lan Yi away, along with the Frost Signal Axe and the Totsuka Sword.

His kidneys were severely damaged, an injury that would be fatal to most people, but for him it was a minor injury that he could easily heal with his divine power.

"Huh?" He showed a shocked and confused expression for the second time.

Even the restoration of divine power could not completely eliminate the corrosive and damaging effects inflicted by these two weapons, which were like maggots clinging to bones.

He could never have imagined that both weapons were conceptual weapons, one with the ultimate power of patricide and the other with the ultimate power of slaughtering an entire clan, both being fantasy conceptual weapons created specifically for him.

So-called conceptual weapons are all products of the ability "illusion manifestation". They are only applicable to the case where the special attack concept of the weapon is fully materialized. In other words, the Frost Signal Axe and the Totsuka Sword are just two sticks when dealing with non-conceptual targets.

However, when Frost Signal Axe kills his father and Totsuka Sword slaughters his entire family, they can unleash their true "conceptual damage"!

More importantly, the person who uses these two weapons is his "daughter" who was split in two. This is also Lan Lin'er's resentment towards being split and used as a tool, as well as the angel's resentment that has existed for thousands of years.

The birth of him was the heaviest blow he had ever suffered.

The God-King coughed up blood instantly, and pieces of his internal organs came out of his mouth. He stared at Xue Luding with a fixed gaze. Now he understood that he had not truly tamed this hero. What he wanted to do was to kill him and become the new God-King, just as he had done to the angels.

He even went so far as to exploit his own daughter's feelings.

That damn bastard!

The God King was instantly enraged. The next moment, the tree roots wrapped around his two daughters like chains. He wanted to see what was wrong with his daughters after everything was over, but the first step now was to kill this bastard who had used his daughters and even wanted to replicate his own experience!

He has already found a way to die!

Despite being attacked by two conceptual weapons specifically designed to target him, it doesn't matter. He can erase the impact through the authority of the world. At that time, he will unleash the full power of a God-King and show this kid who has a death wish the wrath of a God-King!

However, Xue's Law only truly laughed when he discovered that the God-King wanted to use the authority of the world.
