What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Until the appearance of that black sun, which reached its peak at an unimaginable speed, completely obscuring the light of the stars, it heralded the official end of that era.

Over the course of five years, countless powerful individuals perished under the light of that black sun.

Aside from that idea that could destroy the future of humanity, this is why countries around the world and other powerful beings all want to kill that great being.

However, until that person left the throne for reasons unknown and was confirmed dead by many powerful figures, no one was able to kill that person.

During those five years, which were not exactly long, in that vast, empty sea, all you could see when you looked up was the light of the dark sun.

Nevertheless, there are still people in this world who, facing that dark light, struggle to radiate their own brilliance, like flowers blooming on the precipice of an abyss.

That flower has many names, one of which is Lu Xiu.

He carries the expectations of many people, has unparalleled reputation, and is favored by the whole world to become the eighth near-godlike powerhouse, and may even go further and step into the place that only that one person has ever been.

—The end of the long staircase leading to the gods.

Such a person naturally enjoys great fame, becoming a guiding light for many extraordinary individuals and being regarded as an idol.

If it weren't for Lu Xiu, how could Zhong Chongshan be so convinced that he wouldn't even object to being replaced?

If it were the Lin Mushi of the past, she would definitely be extremely nervous at this moment. It wouldn't just be a little nervous; her voice would tremble, let alone pretend to be calm.

But she was no longer the person she used to be. As the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company," and she couldn't help but pick up some of Gu Yuqiu's traits as she spent every day with him.

Moreover, she had argued with the Innocent Queen, and by all accounts, she had also fought with Crimson.

Most importantly, she was the winner in both matters, the undisputed victor!

Can Lu Xiu do it?

Then what does she have to be nervous about now!

Having figured all this out, Lin Mushi raised her head slightly, her expression no longer tense.

……

……

"It's no trouble at all."

Lin Mushi said, "There are many details involved that may not be clear over the phone. I think it would be better to discuss them in person."

"That makes sense, but you were on the verge of death last night, so it's time for you to rest."

Lu Xiu's voice came again, still steady, with a hint of warmth.

Normally, Lin Mushi would have felt something upon hearing those words, but for some reason, she was thinking of Gu Yuqiu at this moment.

—That was the tone she wanted to hear from Gu Yuqiu.

Therefore, she was naturally somewhat displeased and asked in a slightly cold voice, "Have you forgotten that we all took an oath before joining the Special Affairs Bureau?"

Lu Xiu was somewhat surprised and said, "I'm sorry."

Lin Mushi said, "Do you have time later? I'll come over and explain to you."

Lu Xiu was silent for a moment, then said, "My secretary will contact you to make time for me as soon as possible."

Goodbye then.

"Goodbye."

The call was disconnected, and Lin Mushi glanced out the window.

The sky was cloudless, the winter was no longer gloomy, and the sun shone on the earth, bringing a rare warmth.

She bit her lower lip lightly, thinking that the sun was shining so brightly today, so she decided not to be angry with him for now.

After all, there are priorities in things.

Thinking this, Lin Mushi looked down at her phone, her fingertips twitching slightly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally pressed the button on that annoying name.

A few dozen seconds later, the call was connected.

She took a deep breath, preparing to compose herself, mimicking the person's annoying tone, and deliver a few sarcastic remarks before getting to the point...

The call was immediately disconnected.

Lin Mushi's hand holding the phone stiffened slightly, and she slowly put it down, her expression one of utter astonishment.

Before hanging up, she vaguely heard a sentence, tinged with drowsiness and full of impatience.

"Don't disturb my sleep."

Lin Mushi thought about it very carefully to make sure she hadn't misheard.

Then her right hand stiffened again.

"Really are……"

She forced herself not to smash her phone on the sofa to vent her emotions and make herself feel better, and angrily said, "Incomprehensible!"

……

……

No matter who it is, they're bound to get a little annoyed when they're woken up.

Gu Yuqiu was no exception, and besides, she was no longer a god, but just an ordinary person.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains, barely illuminating the bedroom.

She threw off the covers, got out of bed, casually threw on a white shirt without buttoning it up, quickly washed up, and then walked to the window and pulled it open with both hands.

The curtains parted, letting in sunlight that fell on her face and illuminated her slightly damp silver hair.

Gu Yuqiu quietly gazed out the window until a white cloud drifted in from afar, obscuring the warm sunlight, before she turned her gaze away.

She straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, making herself less alluring, and left the bedroom.

Crimson didn't sleep all night, sitting in the living room the whole time. It's unknown whether she interacted with the white cat.

Seeing Gu Yuqiu finally emerge from the bedroom, she instinctively stood up and said, "Someone is watching this place."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement, showing no surprise, and said, "It's a normal thing."

Crimson continued, "I heard that the person who replaced that Zhong guy is Lu Xiu."

Gu Yuqiu's reaction remained unchanged; she lazily hummed in agreement.

Crimson stared into her eyes and asked earnestly, "Was all of this, including Lu Xiu's arrival, part of your plan?"

"No, this was actually unexpected."

Gu Yuqiu poured herself a glass of warm water without turning around and said, "The Pope has confirmed that he will come to Xinchu, but the Special Affairs Bureau only sent Lu Xiu. Even if this is just a formality, I am still a little disappointed."

Crimson said expressionlessly, "If you're thinking of taking down the Special Affairs Bureau and this country, I suggest you think twice."

Gu Yuqiu thought the question was idiotic and how could she possibly do such a thing. Instead, she said, "Lu Xiu's talent is average, but he is quite quick-witted, which makes it easier for me to guide him."

No matter who said that, Crimson would think the speaker was an idiot and would definitely mock them.

However, at this moment she could only remain silent, feeling disheartened, thinking, "Who in this world is not ordinary in your eyes?"

Crimson shook her head slightly, no longer thinking about these things, and said, "Then you should know that Lu Xiu will definitely talk to your believer. What should you do if he notices something is wrong?"

She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you already planning to kill them to silence them?"

"Don't say stupid things in front of me on purpose in the future, even if your purpose is to test me."

Gu Yuqiu laughed and said, "Besides, I'm so weak now, how can I kill anyone?"

As she spoke, she walked up to Crimson.

Shen Hong tilted her head slightly, met her gaze, bit her lower lip, and remained silent.

Just then, for some reason, Shen Hong's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the sofa.

The white cat that had been staring blankly out the window all night had somehow turned its gaze back to the living room.

Gu Yuqiu walked to the sofa, looked down at the girl, and said with a smile, "It seems I need to remind you of the past."

After saying this, she slightly raised her right leg and placed her bare foot on her deep red face.

"I have never forgotten the past, and I think about it every moment because I want to destroy everything about you."

Shen Hong looked up at Gu Yuqiu, at this enemy she could never forget in this life, and her voice became extremely cold as she spoke these words one by one.

Gu Yuqiu said, "Then you still have a long way to go."

As she spoke, her snow-white bare feet moved, her tender and rounded toes rubbing together as if she were playing with her deep red cheeks.

Crimson didn't speak. She raised her hand, grabbed her ankle, and stared at her eyes with hatred and rage, as if she wanted to etch this scene deep into her mind.

Seeing Shen Hong's distress, Gu Yuqiu's mood naturally brightened, and he said, "See, I've given you another reason to kill me."

Perhaps because her cheek was being stepped on, Shen Hong's voice became weak and intermittent.

“From the day I met you, I have never lacked a reason to kill you. Even if you are dead, I will dig up your grave and see what your corpse looks like.”

Her voice grew colder: "It's quite pleasant that you didn't die at all."

Gu Yuqiu laughed and said, "Are you angry?"

Crimson didn't answer, she just looked at her.

Gu Yuqiu found it somewhat interesting and moved her feet away.

Then she got off the sofa, helped Crimson up and placed it on the sofa, looked at the white cat over there, and said, "Don't scare people anymore, it's not good."

Songtang couldn't help but meow, thinking to herself, "What are you pretending for?"

If you hadn't made me take action, I would still be longing for Xiao Mu Shi's embrace. I wouldn't be in the mood to scare Shen Hong and give you the face to step on.

And now you're trying to shift the blame onto me, have you no shame?!

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at the white cat.

Songtang immediately meowed obediently.

Gu Yuqiu withdrew her gaze, casually sat down at the small table in front of the sofa, still looking down at Shen Hong, and said, "So, do you remember now?"

Crimson remained silent.
