I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod

Chapter 166: New Image

Just as God informed Noah before sending down the Great Flood, Lilith also decided to tell Qing about the Great Flood. This time, Lilith decided to appear in a different form.

If she continued with the image of the huge black shadow she had seen last time, not only would her words be doubted, but they would also be very troublesome to explain. Therefore, Lilith put on a white robe and wore a golden flower and bird headdress.

This was the result Lilith found after searching online for "god costumes that make you look like a good person." After changing into this outfit, she first looked at herself in the mirror a few times to see if it was appropriate.

Tianyuan, who was practicing barrier techniques nearby, noticed Lilith's unusual behavior and subconsciously cast his gaze over. Once he looked, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

In mythology, the white robe is never just a piece of clothing; it represents purity and being far removed from worldly sins. Only those who have cleansed themselves of sins are qualified to wear the white robe.

Gold headdresses not only represent nobility, but also immortality, as gold does not rust. They represent not only power, but also status.

At this moment, Lilith, dressed in a white robe and a golden crown, was slender yet not thin, full yet not fat. Her perfectly proportioned figure, paired with this outfit, gave Tianyuan an indescribable feeling.

Even though Lilith was wearing a white robe, she was enveloped in a soft, warm golden light. The smell of barbecue and various oils that used to linger in the barrier had vanished, and the air had become cool and gentle.

Tianyuan was mesmerized by the sight, but her intense gaze caught Lilith's attention. Lilith turned around and raised her hands to show her the outfit:

"How is it? Does it fit?"

Upon hearing this, Tianyuan froze on the spot. In her memory, Lilith was just a gluttonous, playful, and bad-tempered girl who had almost no redeeming qualities except for her unfathomable strength.

But upon seeing this different Lilith before her, her heart, which had grown cold over the millennia, began to beat faster, and a blush appeared on her face, which had become somewhat dull from being alone for so long.

"It's very beautiful." Tianyuan gave this answer with restraint, and then quickly turned his head away, afraid that if he looked any longer he would lose control and do something that would damage his reputation.

Lilith noticed Tianyuan and was amused by her reaction, giggling. This effect wasn't caused by any additional methods, but simply by removing the cognitive filter that she usually had on.

From the very beginning, when Lilith was turned into a female version of Steve by a mod, she knew what this appearance represented. Even the supreme god thought it was beautiful, let alone the mortals.

So from that time on, in order to avoid getting into trouble because of her appearance, Lilith added a cognitive filter to herself, so that when others saw her, they would subconsciously ignore her appearance.

Now, in order to convince Qing that she is a benevolent god, Lilith has to remove her cognitive filter. After all, extraordinary beauty is also part of a god, and if she went there with a strange face, she would definitely be mistaken for a demon.

Ignoring Tengen, who was pretending to be busy but actually spying on her, Lilith immersed herself completely in the small world.

It was a night when Qing finished dealing with all the affairs in Iz City until late at night. He dragged his tired body back to his bedroom. He didn't even have time to take off his shoes. He lay on the bed and within a few seconds, he could hear his even breathing.

Qing had a dream in which the apes lived in peace and prosperity. From birth, no one had to worry about food and could do whatever they wanted without having to worry about making a living.

Without wild beasts, without famine, without disease, Qing could finally live an ordinary life. He had no hobbies or ideals, and his only fantasy about a better life was to marry an ordinary wife, have an ordinary pair of children, and then live an ordinary life until he died.

Thinking about this, Qingdu couldn't help but laugh at himself, not because he was happy, but because he felt helpless.

His understanding of happiness was limited to the ordinary; he believed that anything could become truly ordinary if it were simply described as ordinary.

Just like those old-fashioned people who can't keep up with the times, they think that anything with the prefix "high-tech" or "intelligent" is really high-tech.

Just as Qing was laughing and feeling bitter about his unrealistic ideas, the world in his dream suddenly froze. Before he could react, a deep darkness came from afar like a raging flood.

Qing was startled, her pupils trembling. She immediately realized what this meant; this was the way the gods pulled people out of their dreams and into that strange space.

"Again?"

Qing frowned deeply. She thought that since the gods hadn't come after ten years of the beast tide and the black dragon incident, the divine punishment was over. But she didn't expect the gods to be so vengeful and still take action after ten years.

However, Qing did not panic this time. Instead, he stood quietly in place. He was exhausted. If the gods really wanted to pursue the blasphemy from ten years ago, he would simply offer his head in exchange for the gods' forgiveness and the peace of Iz City.

Qing awaited the final judgment. Darkness enveloped him, and his dreams were shrouded in it. Just when he thought he was about to face the vast starry sky and the enormous black shadow that he had to look up at once, the world before him suddenly brightened.

Qing looked around and saw no deep darkness or countless stars, only a patch of azure sky overhead and snow-white clouds stretching from her feet to the horizon.

"Where is this place?"

Finding himself in an unfamiliar place, Qing couldn't help but feel puzzled. He hadn't expected anyone to respond, but as soon as he finished speaking, a clear voice rang out behind him:

"This is the realm of gods, and it is also my world."

Upon hearing the voice, Qing instinctively sensed something was wrong. He turned around abruptly and saw a young girl in a white robe and golden crown, with skin as smooth and white as jade, standing there.

The moment Qing saw the girl, he froze on the spot. The reason was simple: Lilith's image was just too perfect for the god in his heart.

A pure white robe untouched by any filth or sin, an immortal and noble golden headdress, long wisteria-colored hair, skin as smooth as warm white jade, and an otherworldly beauty.

Upon seeing Lilith, Qing's heart unexpectedly calmed down; his anxiety and restlessness vanished. He remained vigilant, however, and instead asked Lilith:

"who are you?"

"I?"

Lilith, at the opportune moment, revealed a smile she had learned online—a smile that conveyed "compassion, gentleness, and a sense of looking down upon all beings"—and spoke softly:

"I am the god you worship."

Upon hearing this, Lilith clearly sensed a increase in wariness in Qing's eyes. He took a half step back, deliberately adopting a distant expression on his face.

“I don’t know why you’ve called me. If you’re still holding a grudge about what happened ten years ago, you can take my head. But I hope that after I die, you won’t continue to torment my people…”

Chapter 167: The Great Flood

"You must have misunderstood something."

Lilith wasn't angry; she still wore that smile. Under the influence of that smile, Qing unexpectedly calmed down and listened to Lilith's words.

Lilith continued:

"I have no ill intentions in contacting you. Besides, this is the first time we've met. How can you say it was 'ten years ago'?"

Perhaps it was the effect of this outfit, or perhaps it was because Lilith now perfectly matched the image of the god in Qing's heart, that made her words exceptionally convincing to Qing. Qing murmured to herself:

"What do you mean? Could it be... that you're not the evil god who brought down divine punishment ten years ago? Then what is your purpose in coming to find me?"

Lilith didn't directly state her purpose in finding Qing, but instead distanced herself from the villain she had played five minutes earlier:

"I think you've misunderstood. The only god in this world is me. Those who approached you before were probably demons or something similar."

"demon?"

Hearing this, Qing was a little confused. The idea of ​​a unique god or a demon was very novel to him. Although he could accept it, he was still deeply puzzled.

Lilith chuckled inwardly, saying only, "The opportunity for the apes to broaden their worldview has arrived," while maintaining her usual expression, though her tone carried a hint of sadness.

"Demons come from another world. All the demons we know of now are offspring of the [King of Demons]. Because demons become stronger by spreading death and fear, they often arrive in this world. The reason I've come to you is precisely for this matter."

Forced to accept these settings, Qing's mind was still a bit confused. After all, he was not the kind of person who was quick-witted to begin with, and it took him a while to sort out the information Lilith had given him.

Qing could understand things like demons and the King of Demons, but he didn't quite understand Lilith's last sentence:

"What do you mean you came to me specifically for this matter?"

Qing showed no reverence for the gods whatsoever, or rather, he had long since abandoned any sense of reverence.

Lilith wasn't annoyed; instead, she stated her purpose directly:

"This world has been corrupted by evil spirits and tainted by filth, so I will use an unprecedented flood to cleanse the world of its sins."

After Lilith finished speaking, she waited quietly for Qing's surprised reaction. But after a long while, Qing still wore that expression of half-understanding. Finally, he scratched his head and asked:

What is the Great Flood?

"........."

Lilith was speechless. She hadn't expected that Qinglian didn't even know about the Great Flood. But then again, the small world was flat and round, with no crustal movement, so natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides wouldn't happen.

As for atmospheric disasters such as typhoons and floods... I don't know if it's a coincidence, but they haven't happened since the birth of the small world.

To make the small world more realistic, Lilith decided to add a natural disaster component to it from now on, which means that random natural disasters will occur at random times due to "coincidence".

After making this decision in secret, Lilith explained to Qing what the Great Flood was:

"It's like a massive flood that engulfs the world; without any countermeasures, everyone will die in the flood."

Upon learning that the Great Flood was a global catastrophe, Qing was immediately unsettled. He stared at Lilith's equally wisteria-colored eyes and pursed his lips.

"Could you please not unleash the great flood? If so, I can deal with those demons for you..."

Qing finally used honorifics in his speech because he knew that Lilith had a legitimate reason for unleashing the Great Flood, and he simply did not want his people to die needlessly in the flood.

Lilith knew perfectly well what Qing was thinking, but when faced with Qing's almost pleading gaze, she still shook her head resolutely:

"The great flood is inevitable. I must do this in order to wipe away the evil in the world. It is only for the survival of life that I have come to you."

Rejected, Qing was devastated, completely unsure how to convey this terrible news to his people. But upon hearing Lilith's second half of her sentence, Qing's sorrow vanished instantly, and he repeatedly asked:

"Do you have a way to save my people from the great flood?!"

Lilith nodded gently and, following the example of mythology, described how to build a giant ark to house all kinds of creatures and help them escape the great flood.

After listening, Qing seemed to be deep in thought. He thought about it and realized that this was almost the best solution at present, which could both allow the gods to release a great flood to cleanse the world and allow his people to survive.

So Qing stopped asking for anything, thanked Lilith, and with Lilith's help, left the spiritual world and began building an ark to house all living beings.

Outside the world, Lilith deliberately increased the speed, and the creatures in the small world instantly turned into afterimages.

Qing revealed to his people what he had seen and heard in his sleep, including about demons, the King of Demons, the Great Flood, and the Ark. He told them everything without reservation. He then began to instruct his people to cut down trees and build the Ark, while he himself traveled to various parts of the world, capturing one male and one female creature from each species he encountered to ensure the continuation of his race...

The skeleton of the ark appeared and gradually took shape until it was almost completed. Qing then took the creatures he had captured from all over the world and locked them in a special room.

Watching this scene, Lilith, who hadn't even had time to change her clothes, felt like she was watching a time-lapse video about "Noah's Ark." Although it was boring, watching these little gadgets move around was a good way to pass the time.

Once the ark of the new world was completed, Lilith ceased to be a bystander and did not create a massive flood out of thin air. Instead, she controlled the vast ocean surrounding the continent and accumulated it along the world's walls.

Once enough seawater had accumulated, Lilith relinquished control over it. As the seawater crashed into the ocean under the influence of gravity, towering waves were created.

A colossal wave, far taller than the highest mountain on the supercontinent, came from all directions. Five hours later, the wave, which had originated at the edge of the world, finally reached the coast of the supercontinent, snapping trees and submerging land.

Among them, a large number of living beings were smashed into blood mist by the floodwaters traveling at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour. No one could escape this fate. Even the fish swept up in the floodwaters met with misfortune in this terrible natural disaster.

The ape-men of Iz were lucky. Iz was built in the western part of the continent's center, and when the great flood arrived, its speed had already decreased to a level that the ark could withstand.

Lifted by the flood, this ark of the new world, carrying the seeds of life from the old world, embarked on a long journey.

For a long time afterward, Qing and his people would stay on the deck, looking at the endless sea, hoping that the land would emerge from the water...

Chapter 168: Qing Dies by Drowning

The city of Iz was destroyed by a great flood, and the ruins were swept into the ocean. As a result, the ape-men lost their home where they had lived for many years. In memory of Iz, the ape-men called themselves Iz people.

The great flood was extremely powerful, and the water level continued to rise over time. The sky was constantly filled with rain and thunderstorms. The apocalyptic scene caused panic among the Iz people. Fortunately, Qing stepped forward to take charge, preventing the situation from deteriorating too quickly.

The heavy rains lasted for about forty days. After the rains stopped, the floodwaters began to recede, albeit slowly, but this gave the people of Iz a glimmer of hope for survival.

As for what the people of Iz have been eating these days? Back when they were building the Ark, they had stockpiled enough food and water. Even the various creatures trapped inside the Ark had enough food to survive the great flood.
