What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

The light gradually flowed, coalescing into a long river that flowed freely through the divine kingdom, illuminating the pitch-black world and creating a beautiful contrast with the blood-red throne.

The source is that gem.

People only saw the blackness within the gemstone constantly dissipating, seemingly transforming into a river of light drifting in the divine realm.

As the process unfolds, the gemstone loses its color and appears to transform into a diamond.

The only thing that remains unchanged is its purity.

Then, the diamond cracked, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Once something starts, it progresses rapidly, like an avalanche or a flood, becoming an unstoppable process.

The next second, a soft sound.

The remains of the Lord of Sleep were thus reduced to hundreds of fragments, which fell from Gu Yuqiu's hands.

Those fragments were like stardust; some landed on the throne, while most were blown away by the howling wind, becoming a glimmer of light in the vast ocean.

An eerie aura arose from this, but was instantly swallowed up by the dark seawater.

That is the authority held by the Lord of Sleep.

Everything is fleeting.

The River of Light will no longer shine, and the Kingdom of God will once again be plunged into darkness, with only a faint glimmer remaining.

As the Pope witnessed this scene, his eyes revealed clear sorrow and deep grief.

Anyone who witnesses the things they have pursued their whole life being destroyed without any appreciation will feel heartbroken.

"no way."

Gu Yuqiu clapped her hands and looked at him, saying, "Who told you to share my burdens and not let me choose? Isn't this the only way?"

The Pope remained silent.

He knew the truth in those words, and he was even more certain that it was Gu Yuqiu mocking him, reminding him of what she had said earlier.

"But this is what you want."

He looked at Gu Yuqiu and said slowly, "You've thought about this for so long, just for Lin Mushi, you're going to destroy what you've worked so hard for. Don't you think that's absurd?"

"It seems a bit absurd."

Gu Yuqiu sighed, "After all, I've been thinking about these things for several nights in a row."

……

……

Gu Yuqiu would certainly not destroy something so important without a reason.

As she told the Pope, this was the only option.

Not long ago, just before Xin Chu was about to completely complete its transformation into the Void Realm and be submerged by that vast ocean of nothingness, and before all life was about to perish, the Pope did something.

Using Lin Mushi as a sacrifice, we are led to a prophesied future.

After her death, the tsunami will completely subside, the floodwaters will not be devastating, and everything will be alright.

This is an interconnected matter.

The remains of the Lord of the Sleeping Souls are the key and crucial part of this whole.

Even Gu Yuqiu couldn't avoid it; they had to face it.

Therefore, she destroyed the gem.

……

……

In the real world, atop the Special Affairs Bureau building.

Lu Xiu looked at Su Yan, trying his best to sense the vast, empty sea, and asked in a deep voice, "If Lin Mushi comes back to life, will the illusory transformation of Xin Chu continue?"

Shen Muchan glanced at him and said, "Of course not."

Lu Xiu paused, puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

Logically speaking, the destruction of the Lord of the Sleeping Souls' remains is undoubtedly a breach of contract, and the Void Ocean should undergo corresponding changes.

"The past is knowable but uncontrollable, the future is controllable but unknowable." (Note 2)

Shen Muchan said indifferently, "The Void Realm is a thing of the past, and that ocean has no self-awareness. Why do you think there's anything like revenge involved?"

She raised an eyebrow slightly, looked at Su Yan, and continued, "If it weren't for the certainty that nothing would happen, do you think Gu Yuqiu would dare to make such a choice in front of her?"

……

……

In God's kingdom, the light faded.

The Pope bowed his head again, looking at his body, now only showing his chest, knowing that he was about to die.

He sighed and said, "I lost."

Gu Yuqiu comforted and advised, "Don't be sad. After all, no one in this world can beat me."

Countless past events, and even today, have proven this statement to be true.

Even if she is no longer as powerful as she once was, sitting atop the clouds, residing on a divine throne and looking down upon the world.

"Is there anything else you wish for?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at him and asked.

The Pope was slightly taken aback, his surprise clearly evident in his eyes, and said, "I didn't expect to hear such a statement."

Gu Yuqiu said, "My admiration for you is genuine."

She said something similar at the end of the previous negotiation.

At the time, many people thought it was just polite talk, but they didn't expect Gu Yuqiu to repeat it, and then they realized that she wasn't acting.

"Thank you."

The Pope said, “I want to see what you want me to hear with my own ears and see with my own eyes, but I have not been able to reach it.”

It is the gospel.

It is holy light.

It is the future he wants to go to.

Gu Yuqiu said "okay".

then.

She turned around, her fingertips landing on Lin Mushi's brow, but she didn't linger for a moment, only tapping it lightly.

The dark seawater instantly calmed down.

The silence was unsettling.

Countless dark figures slowly rose from the sea, raised their heads, and gazed at the sleeping girl on the throne, without making any move.

For some reason, this scene lasted for a long time.

The silence only changed after Gu Yuqiu stopped turning her back to the shadows and made eye contact with them.

At first, a small group of dark figures slowly lowered their heads.

Then, more shadowy figures sluggishly bent over.

Finally, all the shadowy figures in sight knelt down like a tide.

Gu Yuqiu was very satisfied.

She stepped down from her divine throne and walked out of the divine kingdom.

She walked forward calmly.

The faint light of the real world gently illuminates the divine realm, bringing this scene to the eyes of mortals.

People saw the sea part, revealing a path never before seen, with countless dark shadows crawling on the ground, kissing every step she took.

A distant and tranquil melody resounded from the deepest part of the divine realm, echoing between heaven and earth.

That is the gospel.

Then there is light.

A mighty ray of light shot up from the divine throne, piercing through the dense clouds above, followed by a gentle ray of light that poured down like water from the gaps between the clouds.

It illuminated the path for Gu and Qiu to move forward.

She stopped and stood in the endless light, looking back.

At the end of countless white-tinged black shadows, Lin Mushi, sitting on the throne, trembled slightly at the fingertips.

……

……

The Pope watched this scene with extremely complex emotions in his eyes.

It was envy, jealousy, incomprehension, a desire to touch, and many other indescribable feelings, but in the end, all of these turned into peace.

He sighed, then smiled.

Gu Yuqiu withdrew her gaze and came to stand in front of him.

The two looked at each other.

The Pope said, "Aren't these dark shadows all people you killed? Why do they still love you so much?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "I don't love the world, but I will eventually care about my believers."

The Pope said, "It seems that my days after death will not be too difficult, but I have endured it for so long. Perhaps it would have been more comfortable to die sooner."

"That statement is incorrect."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Just like Buddha talking about the afterlife and God promising heaven, what I did is not much different; it's all a kind of comfort after death."

The Pope looked into her eyes and said seriously, "But all of that is fake."
