Watching that figure disappear at the speed of light, taking two steps in one, the people of Changsheng City were filled with emotion.
I have never seen such a perfect god before. He is gentle, kind, and handsome. His blue eyes are like stars under the night sky. His tone of voice when advising them is gentle and soft, as if he can embrace everything, which makes people feel comfortable.
They encountered a benevolent god and followed that dazzling figure out of the darkness of the City of Immortality. Just as he said on the first day he appeared, if they believed in him, he would lead the people of the City of Immortality out of the mire of death and into a new life.
He did it.
"Ye Shen... Ye Shen is truly the perfect god in my heart!"
"Ye Shen is so gentle!"
"Even Ye Shen's voice sounded so pleasant when he made a promise to us!"
A group of people viewed him through a lens of pure illusion, completely forgetting his initial appearance as a bandit who forced people to kneel, slapped them, and arrogantly stole most of the resources from Changsheng City, leaving the remaining believers unable to make ends meet.
"Ouch!!" In a dark corner of Changsheng City, Ye Tianxuan howled and grabbed Yin Xiu, who was temporarily bandaging and holding his broken arm, his blue eyes brimming with tears. "Yin Xiu, are you even human? Why are you using so much force?"
Yin Xiu glanced at him coldly, "If you don't immobilize the fracture, your arm is ruined."
The entire city of Changsheng was in chaos. People of all professions were gathered around the summoning platform. It would take until the doctor examined the arm before everyone had left.
Ye Shen, who presents a perfect facade in public, can't possibly be frantically grabbing a doctor to check his arm in the crowd right now, grimacing in pain in front of everyone, as that would damage his image as Ye Shen.
Ye Tianxuan gritted his teeth and endured it; being a god was truly too difficult.
"Don't worry, I'll go find a doctor for you right away. Let's just fix it up a bit first." Yin Xiu said dismissively, and after finishing the treatment, he turned and left, leaving Li Mo and Ye Tianxuan standing alone.
As soon as Yin Xiu left, the atmosphere between the two became stiff and silent.
Ye Tianxuan opened the cigarette pack with one hand, preparing to smoke a cigarette to calm his nerves and regain his composure.
Li Mo stood ramrod straight to the side, unsure whether to speak or remain silent, a sense of unease silently pervading the air.
"Alright, don't be nervous." In the quiet atmosphere, Ye Tianxuan finally broke the silence with a cigarette in his mouth. "I was the one who asked you for help, so it's normal for a little accident to happen. It's my problem that I didn't rehearse with you beforehand. Don't think too much about it."
Li Mo's expression relaxed slightly. He had long known that humans were fragile, but this was the first time he had hurt someone his boyfriend knew. He was nervous! What if his boyfriend disliked him because of this?
Ye Tianxuan stubbed out his cigarette, then looked up at Li Mo with a smile. "I have some good news for you, do you want to hear it?"
Li Mo nodded.
"The original gods of this City of Immortality could see through people's lifespans and trade lifespans, that is, they could share the gods' lifespans with ordinary people, allowing those who originally lived to be over a hundred years old to have even longer lifespans and live longer."
Ye Tianxuan's topic immediately piqued Li Mo's interest. "Then, could I share my lifespan with my boyfriend so that he can live much longer?"
"That probably won't work." Ye Tianxuan shook his head. "The true God of Immortality is no longer here. What we have now is a high priest with some divine power who can trade lifespans. But even with that power, the high priest is still human and cannot possibly overstep her level to attack a god's lifespan. She doesn't have that ability yet."
Li Mo lowered her eyes in disappointment; her hopes for a long and lasting relationship with her boyfriend had been dashed.
"But!" Ye Tianxuan leaned closer to Li Mo and said mysteriously, "But for some reason, I detected an infinite lifespan in this city, and through my experiments, I was able to extract a lot of lifespan to share with other people."
"The high priest cannot take yours, but he can take mine."
Li Mo's eyes lit up again.
"It's a real pity, though. The only ordinary people who came to this world with me are Yin Xiu and Zhong Mu." He looked up at the starry sky and murmured, "I can only share this inexhaustible lifespan with two people. If only I could share it with those good-for-nothings in the town."
Li Mo nodded in agreement, already envisioning a long and happy future with her boyfriend.
As for Zhong Mu, although he's not around now, we can bring him to Changsheng City later and ask for his opinion. We can see if he's willing to live a long life and share some of his lifespan with us, and he can easily live to be a hundred years old.
"That's great, I'm not the only one who's lived this long." Ye Tianxuan was very gratified, trying his best to suppress the pain in his arm by thinking about various things.
A short while later, Yin Xiu returned with a doctor, carrying a knife.
The doctor, his face pale, had a knife pressed against his neck. He had just finished meeting Ye Shen and was feeling happy about his future when someone suddenly pointed a knife at him and asked if he was a doctor. They then brought him here.
He was trembling with fear, and the moment he saw Ye Tianxuan, he immediately knelt down with tears in his eyes and cried out, "God Ye, save me!!"
Ye Tianxuan stared silently at Yin Xiu, who had sheathed his sword. "Can't you act like a human being once in a while?"
"Is there no one like this?" Yin Xiu asked, puzzled. He had simply gone to fetch a doctor as usual.
"No one would go to a doctor with a knife..." Ye Tianxuan's expression was complicated. Having been a killing god for so long, he no longer behaved like a normal person.
Yin Xiu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Oh."
Whether he reflected on his actions or not, after responding, he was pulled aside by a pleased Li Mo who muttered about Ye Tianxuan's words.
Li Mo couldn't wait to share their promising future with her boyfriend.
"Never mind." Ye Tianxuan turned his head, his pale face forcing a smile through gritted teeth, and faced the doctor, whose face was also pale. "I'm sorry, did my companion scare you? It's just that there's a problem with my human body, so he's in a hurry to find someone to fix it."
"Could you please take a look at this for me?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his arm.
The doctor finally came to his senses, wiped away his cold sweat, and gave Ye Tianxuan a quick examination. "Master Ye, your human body has a broken arm. My clinic is nearby. Master Ye, you should come with me to the clinic. It looks like a serious injury. You'll need a cast."
"Okay." Ye Tianxuan replied, but the thought of having to do things with one hand for a long time to come gave him a headache.
Fortunately, the troubles in the City of Immortality have been largely resolved. All that remains is to negotiate with the High Priest, ask for information, and then leave behind one's lifespan.
Three of the four cities have stabilized, leaving only the mysterious City of Destiny.
"I wonder what kind of place Fatefall City is." Ye Tianxuan was still quite worried about the only son he had brought with him. Although he had been busy managing the affairs of Longevity City and hadn't had time to pay attention to him, that was because Zhong Mu was with Li Mo or Yin Xiu, so there was no need to worry too much.
Now that he's gone to the City of Destiny alone, Ye Tianxuan is still a little worried.
"The City of Destiny? Is God Ye planning to go to the City of Destiny?" The doctor couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Ye Tianxuan's mutterings. "God Ye, it's better if you don't go there. It's not a suitable place for a god as good as you."
Why do you say that?
The doctor sighed, "The City of Destiny is the best at killing kind people. They really can tear people's kindness to pieces. Even if a god as good as Ye Shen were to go, he wouldn't be able to take care of those people."
"...That dangerous?"
"Ye Shen, you don't know, after the gods disappeared, the most dangerous city among the four major cities was the Forgotten City, which was filled with violence and killing. But if we're talking about the craziest city, that has to be the City of Fallen Life."
