What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

How many people could only envy that?!

—Except for Gu Yuqiu and Su Yan.

"I just think you're not good enough for me."

Su Yan said calmly, "What fifth-tier monk is like you, just loafing around and waiting to die? Even someone with average talent like the Sea-Sea Monk knows to keep striving for improvement."

Songtang glared at her and meowed without any politeness, thinking to herself, "You just want me dead, don't you?"

"It's not that bad," Su Yan said frankly.

Songtang ignored her, turned around and lay face down with her back to her, squinting her eyes.

The next moment, its body tensed up suddenly, almost bristling.

Just as its fur was about to stand up like needles, Su Yan pinched the back of its neck, suppressing all movement.

"Like last night..."

Su Yan said expressionlessly, "You better get out of here. If there's a next time, no matter how much she pleads for you, you won't get away with it."

Songtang turned around with difficulty, looked at her helplessly, and meowed twice.

Su Yan glanced at it and sneered, "This is my problem? Don't say such nonsense. I can't accept it. Didn't you have time to leave before that?"

Seeing that she seemed angry, Songtang didn't dare to argue any further and quickly nodded in response.

Su Yan said, "You also have to promise me one thing."

Songtang was slightly taken aback, wondering what the logic was, and quickly meowed.

"You want Lin Mushi to come back."

Su Yan said matter-of-factly, "And I'm on your side, so from any perspective, you should thank me."

Songtang stared at her with wide eyes, thinking to herself, "Are you being a pervert?"

That makes no sense.

Didn't you bring Lin Mushi back for Gu Yuqiu's sake?

It was a little angry. Despite the threat of having its neck gripped, it bared its teeth and claws and began to argue, thinking that it could tolerate other things, but it had to make this clear!

Annoyed by its struggles, Su Yan said, "Stop making noise."

Just as Songtang was about to let out a fierce meow to express her attitude, she suddenly found herself being lifted up.

Then, it found itself in an unfamiliar warmth, incomparably comfortable.

In Su Yan's arms.

Songtang opened her mouth slightly, looked up at Su Yan, and thought in horror that she had been killed, otherwise how could something like this happen that she dared not even dream of?

It hesitated for a while, looking at the incredibly real warmth, rubbed its face against it, and then felt that the clothes seemed a bit too thick and the texture wasn't very nice, so it stepped on them with its front paws.

feels good.

It's true.

It's very soft.

This isn't a dream!

It meowed contentedly, then nestled comfortably in Su Yan's arms without a word of complaint, thinking to itself, "You weren't that much worse than Lin Mushi after all. I really couldn't tell!"

"Do me a favor."

Su Yan frowned slightly, looking at the white cat in her arms with a blissful expression, and asked indifferently, "Are there still any problems?"

Songtang meowed without hesitation, indicating that you can say whatever you want!

Su Yan said, "I believe she will wake Lin Mushi up, but I'm not sure if she will impose any restrictions on Lin Mushi. This is something I want you to remind her about."

The "she" in her words was, of course, referring to Gu Yuqiu.

Songtang paused for a moment, making sure she hadn't misheard, and wondered what this was all about.

"She's too self-centered. If I were to say these things, she would definitely not like it, but it's something that has to be done, and I don't want to argue with her, so only you can do it."

Su Yan looked down at the white cat and said in a slightly deep voice, "On a small scale, this is about whether you can still rub against her in the future; on a larger scale, this is about the future direction of the human world."

Songtang thought about it and realized that there was some truth to it. She meowed and raised a very serious question.

"If she agrees to this proposal, leaves Lin Mushi with some kind of restriction, and then leaves, then who will be the one to wield the sword?"

Su Yan had already thought about this issue and said, "As long as she decides to do it, she will arrange things properly, and we don't need to worry about it."

Songtang said there was one more thing.

If this decision is implemented, the sea will not remain indifferent and will surely try every means to stop it, because it fears the unknown that Gu Yuqiu will bring when he leaves, and therefore cannot allow Lin Mushi to be restricted by others.

Wouldn't this completely destroy any possibility of negotiation?

“I don’t believe what it fears, and…”

Su Yan looked out the window at the setting sun and said softly, "How can things in this world always go as planned?"

Chapter 166: Chapter Fourteen - Where is Feifei?

Dusk comes quickly and goes just as fast.

After autumn arrives, people live through days with long nights and short days. They get used to looking up and seeing dusk, and then turning around to see the changing night.

But today is a little different.

For some reason, even when night has already fallen, a sliver of deep red afterglow lingers on the horizon, exceptionally resolute.

Sitting in the main hall of the shrine, Akiha Harumi watched this scene, her thoughts drifting away.

Beside her was darkness.

The usually bustling Shiramizu Shrine was unusually quiet tonight; not a sound of footsteps could be heard, and even the lights were few and far between.

The lingering twilight was the shrine's last glimmer of light.

As she gazed at that ray of light, her eyes seemed to light up, and the images from last night re-entered her mind, appearing repeatedly in fragmented pieces, flickering incessantly.

Despite it being something she had personally experienced, it felt strangely unfamiliar to her, leaving her increasingly bewildered and confused. After hesitating for a long time, she finally picked up her phone and made a call.

On the other end of the phone was a number she had secretly memorized four days earlier.

The number belongs to Gu Yuqiu.

……

……

The last rays of twilight finally dissipated.

This is what Shen Muchan meant when she said, "As long as she doesn't want to, the sun can't set."

The reason this scene appeared was not a whim, but rather a request from Gu Yuqiu, because she had learned how to become a Dao Beacon.

The so-called signpost is the direction of progress, so the first thing is to make people aware that there is such a direction.

Just like spreading a faith, what she needs to do now is to make people aware of herself and leave an imprint on the minds of extraordinary people, whether for better or worse.

When this imprint becomes clear enough, profound and powerful enough, her image in that vast, empty sea will also change.

Why did those seven peak fifth-order beings, and even Gu Yuqiu when she was a god, all appear to have endless radiance in that sea?

Apart from Gu Yuqiu, who has become a god, the radiance of the other peak fifth-order beings is formed from the hopes of countless people, and is not entirely due to their own strength.

Even Gu Yuqiu was no exception before becoming a god.

What she has to do now is this step, which could be extremely short or it could be so long as to be unbearable.

As Shen Muchan pondered these matters, she suddenly noticed a problem and turned to look to the side.

Only then did she realize that Gu Yuqiu was no longer beside her; he had gone to a place a little further away and was answering a phone call.

What puzzled her was that the phone call seemed quite unusual, to the point that her temporary teacher's expression was strange, the intervals between each sentence were long, and it even gave her a sense of solemnity.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe more than ten minutes, before the call was finally disconnected.

At this moment, Shen Muchan finally walked over and couldn't help but ask about the content of the call, finally voicing the question that had been on her mind.

"Since the Beacon is like this, relying on countless ordinary extraordinary individuals to light it up, why is Wuzui unwilling to show himself and keeps such a low profile?"

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her and said with a smile, "That's why I like her and think she's an amazing person."

Shen Muchan was already used to such words and didn't care to the point of being too lazy to pay attention, saying, "What other reasons are there?"

"Don't you understand?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at her like she was an idiot and said, "I just didn't want to tell you why, so I said this correct but useless nonsense."

Shen Muchan fell silent.

In a way, this was also a kind of answer, making it clear to her that Su Yan's actions had real meaning and were not purely driven by her own ego.

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself that it was pointless to talk about it.

Among the few fifth-tier peak cultivators who have appeared in the human world since the revival of spiritual energy, Su Yan and the Pope are the two most special—with the exception of Star Dew.

The Pope is unique in that he is the only one who embarked on the extraordinary path through faith in the Old Gods, yet possesses such extraordinary talent that he becomes an enemy of faith.

As for Su Yan, her special feature is that she stripped away her own image and established a guiding light, much like a faith.

This is something that can be passed down.

As long as she makes preparations in advance and designates a successor, then after her death, the Dao Beacon will transfer to the person she desires, allowing her to ascend to the fifth rank as quickly as possible.

There is only one problem: neither Su Yan nor those who come after her can violate those fundamental principles, otherwise the guiding light will collapse.

—Those fundamental principles are the tenets of the messengers of natural disasters, bringing peace to the world.

"gone."

Gu Yuqiu glanced at the time and said, "There's another matter that might trouble you."

Shen Muchan raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to herself that this way of speaking was unlike her, and asked, "What is it?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Go and check on Qiuye Chunhai for me."

Shen Muchan paused, then asked with a blank expression, "What do you mean?"
