"Kill you all, and let this place return to silence."
"This is Lin's residence and his grave. No one should set foot here."
"A wandering monster should not return here. Even if you have power that surpasses our lives, we can still kill you."
"You always have a weakness as long as you have a high priest."
The gods' spears were still aimed at Yin Xiu, and this time they applied all their power to him with even greater clarity and precision.
Killing this monster is impossible, but killing the high priest bound to him is easy; after all, he's just a human.
Apart from that ugly thing, everyone here is human. In the face of an incomparably powerful god, crushing human life is an easy task.
Countless bizarre creatures descended, twisted and broken beings burst from the earth, time flew by, and in the light of dusk, familiar faces appeared before everyone.
People are bound by the past, tripped up by fear, killed by time, and turned to dust by the power of God.
That's how they expected it to be.
But a wisp of smoke lingered in the air, breaking through those familiar figures born from people's memories.
The mangled bodies that crawled out of the ground were one after another brutally chopped off by an axe.
The swords that were meant to be wielded against humanity were all blocked.
As time passed, no one died.
"What's going on... what's going on with you all?" The four gods stared incredulously at the tiny figures moving below.
They were clearly wielding divine power, so why did it have no effect on this group of people?
Are these people... really just ordinary people?
Yin Xiu raised the knife in his hand and pointed it directly at the god floating in the sky amidst the surrounding chaos. "Boyfriend, whichever god's power you want, I'll keep it for you."
Li Mo smiled with pleasure, "I want the power of the God of Misfortune."
"Okay." Yin Xiu nodded. "I'll leave it for you to eat."
Li Mo smiled and her eyes crinkled. In an instant, her entire human form melted away, turning into a dark, monstrous mass that continued to expand and grow larger, transforming her boyfriend from a tiny human into a gigantic, dark creature comparable to a god.
Every eye above was fixed on the four gods, and every mouth was shouting joyfully, "Eat the gods! Eat the gods!"
Faced with the terrifying creature that suddenly appeared before them, the gods all retreated.
They were noble and beautiful goddesses. I had never seen the most beautiful and gentle voices in this place before. I had never seen such terrifying and horrifying goddesses. This was a demon, an evil god! It was incomparable to them!
"You were born from human desires, twisted into this form, and you dare to call yourself a god!" The God of Misfortune still stubbornly pointed at Li Mo, unable to tolerate his own kind, this monster was actually a creature created by Lin.
"You shouldn't exist! I'm going to kill you and erase you from Lin's life!"
"No matter what, don't even think about leaving here!"
The gods clamored that, amidst the blind faith and adoration of countless people in the past, they had never encountered conflict or adversaries. This vast and expansive greenhouse had spared them the slightest suffering.
But the two in front of them were the opposite. They had both grown up in hardship, and in their desire to protect, they were always ruthless in their actions.
Yin Xiu stepped on Li Mo's twisted, upward-climbing tentacles, and leaped down from the sky with his long sword. In an instant, the sharp blade transformed into an enormous, long black sword with crimson, twisted eyes on it, radiating a terrifying pressure as it slashed towards the three gods.
God tried to avoid them, but the tentacles coiled around them, trapping them firmly in place.
With a single swipe of the blade, the god's head was easily severed.
In an instant, the clocks floating throughout the space vanished, and as the head of the god fell into the pure white ground, two voices rang out in the void.
"All things in this world are fleeting like sand, and the one I love will one day stop loving me. I hope you can stay by my side and always remain the same, so that I can still remember the past, my dear High Priest."
"Yes! I will remain like this for you! My God! My only faith! No matter what changes in your life, I will not change. I will always stay in Changsheng City! Always waiting for your call."
As the girl's clear and innocent voice faded away, the body of the God of Immortality also vanished abruptly, turning into ashes. Only the head that fell to the ground revealed a sorrowful expression.
"Why...did I forget this promise..."
The head dissipated into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
The other two gods were stunned when they saw the God of Immortality disappear. This person, or rather, this god's power, could actually make them disappear.
They longed for death, but if it were done through the hands of people they despised, they would grit their teeth and be unwilling.
Regardless of whether they thought about it or not, Yin Xiu, with the help of Li Mo's tentacles, easily roamed the sky and fought against the gods floating in mid-air.
The gods were powerless to resist the two monsters who, working together, made it almost impossible for them to escape. Another god was beheaded by Yin Xiu when he seized the opportunity.
Amidst a deafening roar, the battered figures that had crawled out from underground vanished abruptly, and at the same time, the same sounds of communication echoed throughout the space once more.
"The power of regeneration... If I can't die, won't I live a very painful life? What if I'm all alone in the future?"
"It's alright, my dear child, God will always be with you. Whether it's a magnificent sunrise or a quiet and gentle sunset, I will be with you. Whether it's day or night, God will be by your side."
"Really? Then you have to protect me! Although I can regenerate, I'm terrified of pain!"
"Of course...of course."
God's head fell to the ground and turned to ash, and his voice disappeared with it.
"It's an agreement between the gods and each high priest. Why would such a sound appear when a god dies?" Zhong Mu had a little more free time after the broken bodies disappeared. He looked at the two remaining gods and Brother Xiu in the sky, somewhat puzzled.
"It's a contract, severing not only the lives of the gods, but also their contract with the high priest," Ye Tianxuan pondered, this being the only guess he could make.
They all came from the four major cities, and neither Li Mo nor Yin Xiu wanted the high priests, who had finally managed to stabilize the situation, to disappear along with the gods.
The moment the god was killed, the contract between them was also severed.
God died, but the high priest did not.
This is also what Yin Xiu is doing by borrowing Li Mo's power.
