What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

She was certain that Su Yan was a person of her word, and just like killing Lin Mushi today, she would definitely get a hard slap in the face.

Your face will inevitably turn red and then swell.

Upon hearing this answer, the white cat could no longer contain itself. It roared at her, jumped down in anger, and refused to stay by her side any longer.

Gu Yuqiu wondered if she had made a mistake.

She quickly gave up the idea, closed her eyes, and began to rest.

……

……

In the dreams of countless people.

Dreams are extremely ethereal things. People can know that they have a dream, but it is difficult to pinpoint where the dream begins or when it ends.

Therefore, the Church of the Sleeping Demons is the most mysterious force in the world.

In fact, if it weren't for Gu Yuqiu's existence, many people would consider them the most mysterious.

The death of Mr. Zhuo was nothing more than a trivial matter to the Church of the Sleeping Souls.

No one from the Church of the Sleeping Souls died in New Chu today, but a message entered that church.

Yes, it's that church that only exists in dreams and is considered by many to be the prototype of God's kingdom.

The Pope was in the church.

A little over ten days ago, he left the church after a long absence, causing an invisible earthquake, but in the end he returned to his place.

—On the first row of pews in the church.

From that moment on, the boy in the white robe never uttered another word, silently gazing at the enormous, deep blue glass window in front of him.

The glass window is enormous, yet the pattern on it is surprisingly simple, possessing a sacred beauty—a deity reaching out to the mortal world.

Before the divine, everyone appears insignificant, not even the Pope.

The silence lasted for a long time under the deep blue light, until it was suddenly broken tonight.

A believer pushed open the church door, came to the pew, bowed respectfully, and told the young pope everything that had happened in Xinchu that day.

The battle that began because of the Divine Will Walker, and the many changes that followed, including Lu Xiu's unusual delay in making a move, and even Theresa's eventual defeat despite breaking through to the fifth rank.

The Pope said softly, "The fifth rank?"

Even a behemoth like the Church of the Sleeping Souls could not underestimate a fifth-tier being, because they knew very well what kind of transformation a superhuman would undergo after stepping into the realm of gods.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "That Lin Mushi... didn't he kill a believer of God before?"

The believer answered yes.

The Pope smiled and said, "What an interesting child."

The believers dared not speak.

The Pope remarked with some emotion, "If I remember correctly, God hasn't welcomed a truly outstanding believer in a long time."

The believer paused, then asked hesitantly, "What are your thoughts?"

"Breaking through to the third rank in battle and then defeating a fifth rank opponent—whatever the reason behind it, this child must have an interesting secret."

The Pope said, “I still have curiosity and countless ideas. This time, I chose to go to New Chu. Of course, the relics of my old friend are important, but this child... it would be good to take a look.”

The believer said earnestly, "This is very likely a trap deliberately set by the enemy."

Every near-god-level powerhouse who reached the peak of the fifth rank after Gu Yu and Qiu left the divine throne was thoroughly analyzed by countries around the world, and their personality models were constructed to infer the thoughts behind these natural disasters and prepare in advance.

As for Gu Yuqiu... she certainly received the same treatment, but those models didn't play a significant role because she was too ruthless.

Of course, more importantly, she always remained detached from this world, showing almost no inclination to get close.

The only person she was certain had a very deep relationship with was the innocent queen, someone who could not be manipulated.

However, the Pope is different.

He has faith, and he is burdened by the Church of the Sleeping Souls, whose cause and effect he can no longer sever. His actions must have a purpose and underlying interests.

Over the years, he has always kept a low profile, unwilling to get caught up in calculations.

In fact, his decision to go to New Chu this time met with considerable opposition within the church.

"Three more days."

The Pope rose from his chair and walked towards the statue, casually picking up an old book. He said, "We're about to go to New Chu, aren't we?"

The believer said, "Yes."

The Pope walked to the front and then turned around.

Light streamed through the deep blue glass, falling on his white robe as if it were studded with countless stars.

He stood in the starry sky, gazing at the ancient doors of the church, watching countless eerie images flicker through the open cracks, knowing that they were the dreams of all living beings.

With dreams as his sea and the church as his ark, this was his method for navigating the new frontier.

"So, that meeting three years ago was my last memory of you?"

The Pope withdrew his gaze and murmured, "Or perhaps you are nothing more than a dream of all beings, never real?"

……

……

Gu Yuqiu's existence is not a dream.

Crimson has a lot to say on this.

Having spent a sleepless night, when the morning light returned, she opened the door and saw Gu Yuqiu, and heard a light-hearted question.

Have you thought it through?

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "Or are you going to accept my proposal?"

Chapter 112: How does it taste?

What must be faced will eventually be faced; even if one manages to escape by chance, it cannot last.

Gu Yuqiu rested her chin on one hand, smiled slightly, and looked at Shen Hong with great interest, her eyes full of anticipation.

Too many unpleasant things happened yesterday, and she was in a very bad mood. The night passed and her mood didn't change until now, when she finally started to feel a little better.

Who wouldn't like to see a beautiful young woman feeling awkward and uneasy in front of them?

At least Gu Yuqiu enjoyed it.

This is one of the few hobbies of hers that has never changed.

"Think about it."

Crimson sat down in front of her and said softly, "I spent the whole night on it."

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "What a coincidence. I couldn't sleep last night either, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten up so early today even if I needed to get up early."

Upon hearing this, Crimson looked out the window.

In the dead of winter, with Christmas approaching, the temperature in Xinchu had already dropped to single digits, and even the sunshine could not bring much warmth.

Moreover, the sun had not yet fully risen.

The two were in a high-rise building, looking out from inside. They saw the rising sun slowly rising from the horizon, painting the outline of the sky and earth with rich colors.

It was a warm, pale red.

The night had not yet completely dissipated, firmly occupying the mid-sky. A few long, thin clouds transformed into vivid shapes, like sea fish coming to the sky to fall in love with birds.

The high-rise buildings were mostly dark, with only a few scattered points of light, like stars, making it not much different from the scene of Xin Chu looking up at the sky at night.

"Yes."

Crimson withdrew her gaze and said, "It really is early."

As she spoke, she walked to the light switch in the living room, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not press it.

Therefore, the light remained dim.

The room was dimly lit, and the light couldn't penetrate our bodies. In such an environment, it was really suitable for doing some shady things.

Gu Yuqiu learned the answer from Shen Hong.

She wasn't surprised, just a little disappointed, unsure whether it was because she was disappointed that the other party didn't dare to resist, or something else entirely.

In short, she suddenly felt that this matter wasn't so interesting after all.

Just then, a sentence reached her ears.

"I... I think I'm a little nervous."

Crimson spoke softly, then turned around, placing herself in the darkness with her back to the French windows.

This emotion is common, but it is very abnormal for a fifth-level expert, especially someone like her.

Gu Yuqiu didn't say anything.

It wasn't that she was deliberately silent; she genuinely had nothing to say.

She walked past Crimson, intending to find a seat and begin her wait.

She suddenly stopped halfway through the journey.

This wasn't something she had thought of to say, nor was it something new and interesting she had thought of; rather, it was because... Crimson suddenly grabbed her hand.

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly, turned around and looked down at Shen Hong, asking, "What's wrong?"

"I don't think you believe it."

The two were of different heights, so Crimson had to tilt her head back to look into her eyes and say those words.

The scene was strangely interesting.

Songtang, who was sleeping in her cat bed on the French windowsill, opened her eyes as if she had just woken up. Looking at this scene, she thought to herself, "Aren't you two quite cute?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Hmm?"

The meaning of that "hmm" is very clear: I don't understand what you're trying to say, but it also seems like I'm deliberately feigning innocence while secretly admitting it.
