What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

The Pope said, "It's a story that isn't too long."

Lin Mushi said in a slightly cold voice, "So, are you going to say it?"

"I'm willing to tell you everything from beginning to end."

The Pope shifted his gaze from her eyes to the sky above the throne, looking at the barely perceptible slit, and said, "But I think you probably don't want to hear it."

Lin Mushi took a deep breath and realized that even though Gu Yuqiu had trained her countless times, she still couldn't help but get angry after hearing such words and couldn't calm down at all.

She asked expressionlessly, "Why?"

The Pope smiled slightly and said, "Why did you suddenly wake up?"

Lin Mushi's face grew even colder, thinking to herself, "If I knew, why would I be asking you?"

"This is the final destination of all life, the end of death."

The Pope's smile faded, and he said slowly, "When a great soul like her is about to depart, the entire universe will sense it; there is no exception."

Lin Mushi looked into his eyes and said in a slightly deep voice, "Speak like a human being."

"She is very likely to die."

The Pope said, "That's why you've woken up."

……

……

One of them is about to die.

One awakens from a deep sleep.

These two seemingly unrelated things are actually the true relationship between Lin Mushi and Gu Yuqiu, and are connected by an extremely strong bond.

This is just like in an ancient country, where after the emperor dies, the crown prince ascends the throne—it's a natural progression without any problems.

But first the emperor must die.

……

……

In the twilight world, the light of the setting sun was still very faint, tinged with white.

Just like Shen Muchan's expression.

She looked at Su Yan, her eyes growing brighter, and asked in a trembling voice, "Killed?"

Su Yan slowly lowered her hand and said, "Kill him."

The words refer to the primordial will hidden within Akiha Harumi's body.

"That's good."

Shen Muchan nodded wearily, then closed her eyes and collapsed.

As she fell, the twilight world crumbled instantly.

The real sky reappeared, a cloudy day that was worth sleeping on.

Su Yan hugged her, looked at her snow-white face, and said earnestly, "Thank you."

……

……

Outside the virtual world, on the rooftop of a building.

The intelligence officer stationed abroad nodded to Lu Xiu, looked at the old director standing to the side, and described the events of the day.

After listening, Lu Xiu waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

The old director glanced at him and calmly asked, "Do you have something to say?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Xiu simply repeated Liu Nan's thoughts, without any particular tone, just calmly.

The old director turned around, looked at the area shrouded in the void, and said, "There is a sentence in this idea that is correct, so his idea is not correct."

Lu Xiu was slightly taken aback, then asked very seriously, "Which sentence?"

"Lin Mushi is a woman."

"……this?"

"You mean to say this is nonsense, right?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Okay, that's a pointless statement, because even if Lin Mushi isn't a woman but a man, as long as she's still a person, she can't accept it."

"What do you mean?"

"The so-called 'do your best, then there's nothing you can do' statement."

"I think that if it is concealed well enough, it is not nonsense and has some merit."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have mentioned... Liu Nan's idea to me?"

"Yes."

"Let's get back to the point. Why is it that Lin Mushi can't accept this explanation? It's because humans are used to finding a target to blame when they fail, in order to comfort themselves."

"That's not necessarily true."

"Yes, Lin Mushi may not be that kind of person. In the end, she may very well blame herself, regret it for the rest of her life, and then die alone."

"From a perspective of interests, Lin Mushi's complete despair is the best thing for us."

"Maybe."

"Ok?"

The old director did not answer.

Lu Xiu looked at him, showing no intention of looking away.

The old director suddenly laughed, looked at Lu Xiu, and said seriously, "Even if it's where the profits lie, we can't do it this way."

Hearing this, Lu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why?"

"Because we possess power beyond that of ordinary people and have the right to act recklessly, we must have reverence for it, otherwise we will become inhuman."

The old director stared into his eyes and said, "Once something like this happens for the first time, even if no one knows, we will be changed by it until we have no scruples left. Do you understand?"

Those feelings of awe are long-standing moral concepts of humankind, representing the justice and light that everyone has longed for or has ever longed for.

This is very important.

Extraordinary people are often in high positions. If they abandon these innate anchors and become unrespecting and unscrupulous, they are nothing more than a reed swaying in the wind.

How can this possibly reach its end?

……

……

The battle continues within the virtual realm.

Fog filled the air, blurring the boundaries between heaven and earth.

The stench of decay lingers, clinging to everything, causing all things to wither, and time itself is no exception.

This is Shen Muchan's authority, and also the last resort of the original.

In other words, this is the final, deadly move.

What was originally just a few seconds now felt incredibly long, a delay of hundreds or even thousands of times.

Gu Yuqiu remained composed despite being among them.

In front of her, the huge phantom gradually shrank, condensing into a black shadow not far from her.

There were no words spoken.

The moment the phantoms coalesced into a black shadow, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky.

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly, but made no move.

Because the lightning bolt struck not her, but the location of the shadowy figure.

A moment later, as a deep, rumbling thunderclap sounded, the lightning slowly dissipated.

"Lu Xiu?"

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked softly.

She had long understood that the original power came from countless extraordinary individuals.

Whether it's Shen Muchan's Twilight World or the methods comprehended by other extraordinary individuals, it can master them all, and even surpass them.

The lightning that struck at that moment was Lu Xiu's most powerful attack, and also the fundamental reason why he was called the Star Descender.

"Yes."

The primordial voice echoed softly.

At the same time, countless points of light suddenly appeared in the thick fog that shrouded the sky and earth.

These points of light are not connected to each other; they exist independently and emit light, just like stars.

Amidst countless lights, the shadows stood out all the more.

It floated into the sky, looked down at Gu Yuqiu, and waved.

next moment.

All the points of light suddenly burst forth with immense brightness, as if countless bolts of lightning had exploded on the ground, filling every inch of space without leaving anything out.

Gu Yuqiu looked at the lightning bolts floating in the mist, sensing that the invisible net had been spread out, and was certain that the possibility of him dodging was extremely small.

The shadowy figure disappeared.

A dazzling light appeared from the sky, like a shooting star in broad daylight, tearing through the mist, passing through the ruins, sweeping over countless obstacles, and constantly adjusting its path along the remaining lightning as a marker, chasing after that figure.

The two are one after the other.

Gu Yuqiu displayed an extremely terrifying speed, completely surpassing the third-order range, yet he still couldn't shake off the extremely thin bolt of lightning behind him.
