What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Yes, even such a terrifying attack failed to take Lin Mushi's life.

The person she didn't want to live is still alive, even though she's in a terrible state.

In the instant the Sunlight Spear fell, Lin Mushi reached Theresa's side and thus survived.

It's a very simple thing, it just requires some speed and a quick enough reaction... and then I realized it wasn't really divine punishment.

Even if a god doesn't need followers, he wouldn't be so ruthless as to kill his own believers or launch indiscriminate attacks.

That sun-piercing spear, resembling divine punishment, is a phenomenon created by the Path of Secret Words manipulating the real world; therefore, it cannot carry the self-awareness of the practitioner.

This is somewhat similar to the Path of All Things, but it is not the same in essence and has many differences; otherwise, even the caster would not have to bear its power.

Theresa would never commit suicide, so she had already planned her escape route.

Lin Mushi shouldn't have been able to see all this at a glance, guessing that the seemingly dangerous enemy was actually the only way out.

This was still the same kind of intuition that led her to make the decision, without any reason.

She vaguely realized what was going on.

……

……

On the broken viaduct, the sunlight began to fade.

The wind and rain, which had been forbidden by law, surged in again from all directions like a tide as the terrifying, divinely punished spear fell, obscuring the sunlight.

The world darkened once again.

The torrential rain fell on the bridge surface, colliding with the remaining heat and instantly melting into mist, which was then blown away by the strong wind.

The imagery possesses a strange and eerie beauty.

Lin Mushi knelt on the ground, coughing incessantly, blood spurting from the corner of her lips. Not far behind her was the brand-new gap that resembled a cliff.

She had rushed to Theresa's side without hesitation, avoiding the terrifying blow, but inevitably suffered a great deal in the process.

Even for a fourth-tier expert who was least skilled in close combat, this still caused her extremely serious damage, because she endured many punches in that very short time.

"I have many surprises about you."

Theresa looked at Lin Mushi, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "But so be it, you should die."

Lin Mushi suddenly raised her hand.

Theresa said, "You have the right to let me hear your last words. Speak."

Lin Mushi didn't speak. She lowered her hand and placed it on the railing beside her, using it as a support to stand up with difficulty.

Theresa looked at her and asked, "Aren't you going to give up?"

"Yeah, I'm not entirely satisfied... I feel a bit regretful."

Lin Mushi's voice was very weak, clearly indicating that she was extremely exhausted and could die at any moment.

Blood flowed continuously, obscuring her eyes and staining the entire world a deep red.

Including the first time she broke the law, and before that, she had broken countless bones in her body, and now none of them are intact.

She could still stand up, but it was the invisible strings supporting her that prevented her from actually being able to stand.

Then she thought of some boring things.

Where are you now?

You were always there for me in all the dangers we faced before, so why are you suddenly nowhere to be found this time?

Okay, I'm angry with you. We're not living together anymore.

But isn't that how it should be?

Isn't it your fault?

I really want to hear you apologize to me...

Pity.

As she thought about these things one last time, she gave a self-deprecating laugh, knowing that her time to die was fast approaching.

Like tears, they vanished in the rain.

Theresa sighed and said, "I really don't understand."

In any other time, she would have been willing to let Lin Mushi go, or at least not kill this enemy with her own hands.

Because she admired people like that, who faced death head-on, following the same path as the god she believed in and followed.

Strangely, she didn't do that today.

A very simple secret utterance flowed from the corner of her lips, transforming a drop of rain into a sharp blade that pierced straight at Lin Mushi's brow.

Theresa didn't look again and turned away.

Then she looked at a certain spot on the bridge, her expression thoughtful, and prepared to leave.

Just then, a voice entered her ears.

The person speaking seemed to have just woken up, their voice still carrying a hint of weariness, or perhaps they were just being grumpy in the morning?

In short, these are all unpleasant emotions.

But the voice uttered three words that didn't match its emotion.

"sorry."

Chapter 105: Chapter 103 Divine Descent

"I guess these are the three words you want to hear right now."

Su Yan left the void and stepped into the torrential rain, her voice still carrying a hint of weariness and unpleasantness.

Yes, those three words were spoken by her, and had nothing to do with anyone else.

She looked at Lin Mushi and said softly, "But you don't know that person well enough. You will never hear those three words from her. It's all just wishful thinking on your part."

When she said this, her tone was full of emotion, yet tinged with a hint of mockery, directed not at Lin Mushi, but at herself.

Theresa, who was about to leave, stopped and turned around with difficulty to look behind her, where she saw the woman holding the umbrella.

The person had lowered the brim of the umbrella, so she couldn't see their face clearly.

However, there are some people and things that you can feel even without seeing them completely.

She remained silent for a while, wanting to say something, but found herself unable to speak at all. She could only bow her head and greet him with the utmost respect.

After that deity departed from this world, the one before her now is the greatest being closest to that deity, and naturally deserves her respect.

She sensed the profound and all-encompassing intent hidden within the world around her, confirming that everything was under her control and there were no uncertainties.

No one could resist, not even a powerful figure like Crimson who was close to the peak of the fifth rank. Faced with this situation, all he could do was curse a few times and then leave as quickly as possible without looking back.

Then she thought of something.

The one standing in front of her at this moment is not an avatar, but the real person.

Thinking of this, Teresa subconsciously looked at Lin Mushi, wondering who she was.

Why would the innocent Queen personally descend upon you?

……

……

Lin Mushi is an ordinary person, or rather, an ordinary genius.

She wasn't particularly strong-willed, but rather stubborn. Once she had made up her mind about something, she was unwilling to give it up, even if she thought about it constantly.

But now she is thinking about the same question, the same one that Theresa pondered.

However, she already knew the answer. From Su Yan's words, she learned that the reason she had suffered so many misfortunes was because of Gu Yuqiu.

She was furious, so furious that she became energized. She mustered her strength, raised her hand to wipe away the blood in front of her, and looked at the woman holding the umbrella.

Are you out of your mind?

Lin Mushi stared into Su Yan's eyes and said weakly, "Can't you just let me die cleanly... Why do you have to disgust me like this... Are you that petty?"

When those three words rang out, she genuinely thought it was Gu Yuqiu's voice, thinking that at least one of her regrets was gone.

Although her mother still had to attend her funeral with a full head of white hair and would suffer for the rest of her life, she was certain that she had done her best.

More importantly, she was certain that she hadn't done anything wrong.

Life is always painful, and it's not just during childhood.

Thinking about all this, she felt it was utterly unreasonable. She just wanted to die a little longer so she could curse Su Yan a few more times.

The problem is…

Su Yan knew what she was thinking and said calmly, "Are you dead now?"

Lin Mushi said seriously, "If I die now, how can I curse you? Of course, I have to die a little later."

Su Yan said, "I would never care about the curses of a dead man."

Lin Mushi couldn't help but laugh, her tone extremely mocking: "You don't seem indifferent right now."

"Yes."

Su Yan said expressionlessly, "Because you are still alive and will not die, of course I care."

Lin Mushi was stunned as soon as she finished speaking.

She raised her hand again, her body still aching from the movement, but the feeling of death... or rather, the darkness of night, never came.

She even felt she could still fight; the power in her fists showed no signs of weakening, even though she was probably bleeding out of her body.

It dissipated along with the rainwater.

"What's the meaning……"

Lin Mushi asked, her voice trembling slightly.

Su Yan did not answer.
