Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

In the quaint teahouse, Xi Sui'an and Mu Zhong sat opposite each other on either side of the table. She watched the young man pick up the small teapot and calmly pour a cup of tea, then gently pushed it in front of her: "Try it."

Xi Sui'an silently looked at the distinct pine needles floating in the cup, raised her hand and took a sip, the pine fragrance filled her mouth, making her mind calm and clear: "I guess these are the pine needles that Qingqing plucked from her, right?"

Xi Sui'an suddenly recalled Qingqing's tipsy words on the night she left. In addition to greeting the dean, there was another person she wanted to greet, but she didn't say the name.

Her heartstrings moved slightly, and she smiled faintly: "When I came to the foreign land, Qingqing asked me to say hello to the dean and the director."

Mu Zhong paused for a moment and sighed, "Qingqing... that little fellow grew up in the academy. After it was born, it didn't like staying in a foreign land, so I asked Ren Pingsheng to send it to the human world.

Everyone knows it, and some guys who are on missions in the human world always go to visit it, probably because they are afraid that it will be lonely."

He smiled and said, "It's fate that you are connected with it."

Xi Sui'an seemed to be thinking about something. Qingqing's status could be regarded as the mascot of Damocles.

"By the way, you performed well in the secret realm." The young man nodded to her in approval, "I didn't expect you to master the summoning technique."

Xi Sui'an was silent for a moment and then said calmly, "The academy knows that someone will come after me."

"This is inevitable. When the Sea God's divinity is destroyed in your hands, you are destined to become the focus of all forces."

Xi Sui'an was very calm: "This includes the Eternal Vow."

"That's right." Mu Zhong slowly stopped smiling, "Entering Damocles is your best choice. No matter where you come from, we can keep you safe."

"So, you use me as bait on the hook?" Xi Sui'an lowered his eyes and said lightly.

He shook his head. "This is inevitable. I just went with the flow. The Eternal Oath sacrificed a pawn to find out your whereabouts. For them, it was worth it."

"The academy wants to hook the people who made the Eternal Vow?" Xi Sui'an raised her eyebrows. It seemed that her goal was the same as that of the academy.

Mu Zhong looked at her: "Yes, to be precise, I want to fish. Because... I have a grudge against them." There seemed to be no murderous intent in the young man's calm voice.

"I want to destroy the entire Everlasting Vow."

"..." Xi Sui settled down and thought for a few seconds, "Isn't the academy neutral?"

"Everyone has their own stance." Mu Zhong said indifferently.

He raised his eyes, glanced at the surprise on Xi Sui'an's face and said, "I'm not Ren Pingsheng." He is not the dean and does not represent the college.

Xi Sui'an thought for a moment and seemed helpless: "It seems that I have to be a chess piece in the director's hand." She just happened to have the same idea about the Eternal Oath, so they can be considered to be on the same path.

He pondered for a moment and said, "You came to Damocles not only to study and seek shelter, but also to seek the God of Spring, right?"

Xi Sui'an's pupils contracted slightly and his back tensed silently.

Mu Zhong said calmly, "You appeared in a foreign land to destroy the godhead, and now you come to Damocles. Sorry, it's hard for me not to guess that your purpose is also to target the godhead."

Xi Sui'an pursed her lips. The director said this so calmly and calmly, which always made her feel a little nervous.

"If so, what will the Director do?"

"It's nothing." Mu Zhong shrugged. "There are so many guys who want to seize the godhood. You won't make a difference." No one has succeeded.

“……”Xi Suian was speechless.

"Your goal is to destroy the godhead, right?" Mu Zhong asked with a smile, tapping the table with his fingertips.

"...Yes." I guessed that there was something that could not be admitted.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Let me make a deal with you."

"What deal?" Xi Sui'an felt a little wary.

"The day you completely destroy the Eternal Oath, I will hand over the God of Spring to you."

The young man said the earth-shattering words in a calm tone, completely disregarding the reaction of those who heard it.

"What?!" Xi Sui'an's eyes widened in astonishment. What did she just hear? The other party actually wanted to trade godhood with her? !

Xi Sui'an swallowed his saliva. Was this director a traitor to Damocles? How could he be willing to let her destroy her godhood?

"You're trading the God of Spring's divine power. Aren't you afraid that the dean will go to great lengths to hunt you down?"

Mu Zhong raised his eyebrows: "He can't beat me yet."

Oh, well, it seems that the person in front of me is really a powerful boss.

Xi Sui'an thought calmly.

Unexpectedly, Mu Zhong glanced at her and said with a smile: "Besides, it's my thing, he has no right to comment on it."

“……”Yeah, you’re right.

“???” Wait, what?

"?!!" What did he just say? !

Xi Sui'an was stunned for a moment, and stood up abruptly, accidentally knocking over the water cup on the table.

She looked at the calm young man, her face blank, revealing a bit of disbelief and emptiness.

"System, did you hear what he said? Did I hear it wrong?" She asked in shock in her heart.

The system was silent for a moment, and swallowed its saliva: "He said... the Godhead of the God of Spring is his! How is that possible? I didn't detect that he has any consciousness, and he doesn't have the status of a god at all!" How is that possible for a living god!

"You... are the God of Spring, Ju Mang?!!" Xi Suian said in a rare moment of loss of composure.

Mu Zhong nodded lightly.

Xi Sui'an thought that the God of Spring, Ju Mang, might only have his consciousness lingering in his godhead, either awake or asleep, but she could never have imagined that he would be standing in front of her alive!

Xi Sui'an tried to calm herself down. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Isn't it rumored that Ju Mang has fallen into a deep sleep?"

"You already said it was just a rumor." Mu Zhong was very calm.

"..." Xi Sui'an was speechless with shock. She had not expected this situation, and even the system was surprised.

Mu Zhong gestured for her to sit down: "This is a very long story."

Xi Sui'an immediately knelt down at the table. It didn't matter how long it took, she wanted to know the truth.

Mu Zhong laughed: "It's been a long time since anyone listened to me reminiscing about the past."

"At the end of the God Fall Era, I did fall into a deep sleep. The other gods were left with only their consciousnesses. But thanks to the protection of the human race at that time, my body and consciousness were not completely destroyed."

"Later, as you know, Xue Ji woke me up from my deep sleep and asked me to accompany him to do something big." Thinking of the sharp-edged human swordsman in his memory, he smiled and said, "It's what Peregrine told you. These are not much different."

"Then why did you disappear without a trace?" Xi Sui'an frowned in confusion.

"That's because I discovered something." Mu Zhong's face showed a trace of helplessness, "This world can no longer accommodate the existence of gods."

"I have integrated too many divine powers, and my strength is indeed invincible in the world, but at the same time, I have also discovered that this world is too fragile. If I am not careful, I will bring about a world-destroying disaster." At this point, he sighed slightly.

"When Xue Ji died, he told me to continue sleeping and let Damocles protect me. But I didn't think that would be meaningful, so I destroyed my divine body, destroyed my divine realm, stripped myself of my divine nature, reincarnated my soul, and never set foot in the divine realm again. After that, I figured out one thing: this world no longer allows gods to exist."

Mu Zhong looked at Xi Sui'an deeply, then glanced out the window.

Xi Sui'an was stunned. Ju Mang abolished himself as a god for the stability of the two realms?! But...

"Can gods reincarnate and rebuild their souls?"

Mu Zhong smiled and said: "There are two kinds of gods. One is the innate gods, who all perished in the early period of the God War, and the other is the acquired gods.

"One type of people ascend to the throne of God in human form. They are called human gods."
