"However, these matters are my own business from now on and have nothing to do with Changsheng City. You just need to live your own lives well." Ye Tianxuan hurriedly ended the conversation, not wanting to reveal too much information, preferring to keep them as mysterious as possible.
I'll need to set aside some time to learn more about this key.
"Are you leaving soon?" the High Priest of Changsheng City asked reluctantly.
Ye Tianxuan nodded.
"When are you leaving? I... I'll have my people prepare and offer prayers for your departure." The High Priest of Changsheng City was still very reluctant to part with this god of unknown origin who had brought them new life.
But Ye Tianxuan waved his hand, "We will leave quietly, suddenly, just like we came, without needing anyone to know."
"Oh..." The high priest nodded sadly, feeling a little regretful that he would never see such a unique god again.
Although Changsheng City no longer needs a god, it is still very reluctant to part with God Ye.
"Is there anything else I can do to help?"
Ye Tianxuan pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Zhong Mu. "There is indeed one, but it depends on the individual's wishes."
Zhong Mu looked bewildered as he was suddenly stared at.
Then the topic of trading lifespan in the City of Immortality came up, as well as the fact that Yin Xiu had been granted a large amount of lifespan, allowing her to stay with her boyfriend for a long time.
Zhong Mu was shocked, "Can one really be granted a long lifespan? Long enough to live alongside ghosts and monsters?"
His words revealed his desire for a long life, but he was oblivious, preoccupied with his joy: "The fortune teller was right, I really can live to be a hundred!"
Ye Tianxuan clicked his tongue and shook his head, then looked at Mu He. Mu He couldn't see anything, but she was holding onto Zhong Mu's clothes, smiling as she listened to his joyful voice.
When Yin Xiu heard that he could be granted a longer lifespan, he didn't think much of it. He felt that it was enough for a person to live to the end. Then, considering the impact on Li Mo and the town, or perhaps under Li Mo's eager gaze, he slowly nodded.
Who wouldn't want to live a little longer to make up for the regrets of the first half of their life? Everyone would, even the God of Slaughter.
Ye Tianxuan, who sacrificed his lifespan, said that he now has an infinite number of lifespans. Yin Xiu can live to the end of time if he wants, but Yin Xiu doesn't want that many. He just wants to live a good life with Li Mo and be able to be buried together in peace.
Zhong Mu felt the same way about this matter.
While Zhong Mu went to exchange lifespans, Mu He guarded the door, while the High Priest of the City of Fate wandered around alone, learning about the outside world he hadn't seen for a long time.
Yin Xiu and Li Mo sat on the rooftop to pass the time, watching the busy people of Changsheng City.
Sensing the unease in the person beside him, Yin Xiu reached out and placed his hand on the back of his hand, and said softly, "Are you very uneasy?"
Li Mo nodded silently, unsure of what kind of beings his kin were. He was nervous about meeting his kin for the first time, wondering if they would accept him upon his return and if they would welcome him.
Once imprisoned in a seal, he once thought that he was the only one in the world who was different, out of place, and unacceptable, and that no one in the world except his boyfriend could accept him.
Now that he knows there are others of his kind, a group of gods born in the same place as him, he is naturally very uneasy.
"We'll see it soon." Yin Xiu comforted the restless little monster, clearly understanding the anxiety of a homeless child before finding their way home.
It's unclear what kind of people the gods of this other world are. Aside from their sudden disappearance, according to the descriptions of their followers, they are a group of gentle gods. If they could accept Li Mo, this outcast, they could live in peace with him.
"But your boyfriend is still the most important." While being comforted, Li Mo did not forget to comfort Yin Xiu in return, always remembering that she was Yin Xiu's family and that no one else could replace her.
Yin Xiu sat up straight to bear the weight that suddenly pressed down on him, and gently patted his back. "I also want to know about your birthplace, and what kind of gods your people are."
In Yin Xiu's world, Li Mo is called a monster. In this world, his kin are revered as gods. Li Mo's body is twisted by malice and greed, but his personality is simple because he is sealed. He is very curious about what kind of gods will be created by different human attitudes.
"We'll know when we see them," Li Mo murmured, leaning on Yin Xiu's shoulder. "I hope they'll welcome me."
This journey to another world has come to this point, and all that's left is to meet the god one last time, ask him how to kill the god, and then they can leave. As expected, it should go smoothly, but they don't know if they will be able to meet that legendary mysterious man, the man whom all the gods call their father.
After Zhong Mu's lifespan exchange ended, he was even weaker than Yin Xiu. He lay on the bed groaning and it took Mu He a long time to take care of him before he recovered.
He looked utterly dejected, his face contorted with grief. "It feels like my skin has been peeled off and my bones stripped away, and then I'm growing all over again. Did Brother Xiu really only lie down for a little while before getting up and walking around?"
"Yes." The High Priest of Changsheng City calmly wiped his hands. "Being implanted with a new lifespan is equivalent to being reborn. It's normal to feel uncomfortable. Your constitution is probably not as good as that person's, which is why you're taking so long to recover. For a normal person, they would probably lie in bed longer than you. You're considered pretty good."
The High Priest of Changsheng City comforted him, and Zhong Mu could only nod reluctantly. As expected of Brother Xiu, who could single-handedly slaughter an entire book, his physical abilities were beyond Zhong Mu's reach.
However, with the doctor taking gentle care of me during this time, it felt good to lie down a little longer.
Ye Tianxuan continued to teach the people of Changsheng City for the next few days, while Zhong Mu went to the High Priest of Mingyun City to discuss her whereabouts. In the end, she decided to travel alone, using Changsheng City as her final destination, to take a trip and then return.
Zhong Mu was worried about her safety, but the High Priest of Mingyun City himself didn't care at all. "I have experienced the darkest thing in my life. Nothing is more terrible than that. On the contrary, if you see God, please give my regards to the gods."
The High Priestess of Fallen City waved her hand with a smile, but her pure and lovely face showed a hint of gritted teeth. "Tell it that Fallen City no longer has a High Priestess, and no one in Fallen City believes in God anymore."
She seemed to have come to terms with things and had her own goals and pursuits. The High Priestess of Changsheng City, on the other hand, stayed at her original spot to continue guarding the people of Changsheng City and had no plans to go far away for the time being. After all, her current range of movement was only just outside her home.
News occasionally came from Twin Cities that the residents of the Forgotten City had settled well in Twin Cities. More ordinary people without their own fortune or misfortune came to Twin Cities, which gradually made the people of Twin Cities forget the influence of the gods.
Everything is moving in a positive direction, except for the City of Fallen Fates.
One night, on a rooftop adorned with fluttering leaf flags, a dark door slowly opened in mid-air, and the group of people who had suddenly appeared there vanished without a trace.
