Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

"Fatty! To the left!"

Lu Yu's voice rang out above the group of people as the person on the stage sat down.

Baili Tuming looked to his left and saw the giant ant that looked very familiar, fleeing in a panic.

Behind it was Lin Qiye, who had somehow acquired the ability to carry a girl in blue on his back.

"Brother Cao, flank from the right. Go ahead and draw your sword, trust me."

Lu Yu flashed in front of the queen ant, his knife already drawn, and slashed at the guard ant beside the queen ant.

Green juice slid from the tip of the knife and dripped onto the underworld.

Di Ting stood up straight and looked at the ants, as if he were seeing the monstrous beast that had invaded the underworld years ago:

"court death!!!"

His body expanded to an unprecedented height, seemingly growing from his original juvenile state to maturity.

At that moment, the emperor on the platform seemed to see a familiar figure behind the giant beast, seemingly angry and displeased, opening its mouth to bite off the enemy's head, the blood staining its fur, all for the sake of protecting this territory.

"..."

In his silent gaze, he seemed to see an old friend standing by the River of Oblivion, cupping water to wash the fur of a divine beast:

"...Why did I go fooling around with the Black and White Impermanence again...and end up covered in mud and grime..."

"Bai Ze found out about their embarrassing incident, so I went to listen in..."

"You started attacking while you were listening?"

"...They've fought all the way to the Bridge of Helplessness...They're all friends, why don't you try to break up the fight..."

Black and White Impermanence, Di Ting, Meng Po... Ksitigarbha...

There are also many ghosts and gods...

The Emperor of Fengdu sighed deeply, looking at the battle below. Not far away, the River of Oblivion, which had begun to flow again from its source due to his return, rushed down, as clear as ever. But on the bridge at the end, a figure was missing.

In the underworld, countless ghosts who could have been reborn over the past two thousand years have been unwilling to leave, waiting for their emperor to return. Now, seeing him reign supreme in Fengdu once again, these ghosts, after kneeling deeply in the direction of the imperial palace, finally stepped onto the Naihe Bridge, where the Meng Po soup has been brewing for a thousand years without ceasing.

I'm leaving...

At this moment, they wanted to fulfill another adult's wish...

Let hell truly be empty and peaceful.

The emperor, now back on his divine throne, gazed at the scene at the bridgehead without uttering a word, as if reminiscing about the past.

…………

Lin Qiye: "Old Yu, clean up their mouthparts. Since they're here, leave them something behind before they die."

Lu Yu looked at him with surprise: "Qi Ye, who did you learn from?"

Lin Qiye glanced at her sideways: "You."

"Huh? I didn't? Don't talk nonsense!"

"Take care of the one next to you first, and stop laughing."

"Okay, okay, squad leader!"

Di Ting leaped directly in front of the ant queen. Its dark eyes had a golden vertical pupil in the center, carrying a hint of bloodthirstiness and ruthlessness. It was impossible to see its original silly appearance.

The queen ant couldn't even struggle under his claws; she was pressed motionless onto the floor, sinking in and becoming completely still.

The giant beast bit down on the back of the ant's tentacles, severing its head that was still trying to lift.

The boys around her had already dealt with the remaining soldier ants and stood together, helping An Qingyu collect all the mouthparts.

Lu Yu: "If it can gnaw through the underworld, and it's that sharp, it wouldn't be bad to take it back and exchange it for some money with Commander Ye?"

"Ok, Ok……"

"To fund our squad!"

"Not bad……"

Di Ting slowly walked down the steps, released its grip, and the queen ant's head fell to the ground with a "thud".

"...Listen carefully, present the enemy's head, and welcome His Majesty back—"

The corners of the Emperor of Fengdu's mouth slowly turned up until he could no longer hide his joy:

"Di Ting...you're back..."

It was him a thousand years ago...

Di Ting shook his head: "I am not returning, but merely temporarily residing within this child's body..."

He raised his head to look at the person on the throne, but his deep eyes seemed to be looking beyond the emperor at someone else, whether it was him or her...

"Seven Nights...where did you...bring Little Deer back from?"

Baili Tuming stared blankly at the girl on Lin Qiye's back, somewhat bewildered.

"I remember you were up there for less than half an hour, right?"

Lu Yu glanced at the ant queen who had been instantly killed by Di Ting. He had only sighed for a few seconds when this monster, which should have been a boss, was gone just like that. It couldn't even make a difference with its powerful move, such as the bloodline sacrifice.

All I can say is that you, being a beast yourself, are incredibly fortunate to have died at the hands of the Di Ting.

It just sullied the mouth of the Di Ting (a mythical beast).

"...This is Sister Jialan, whom Qiye rescued from the coffin in the Heavenly Palace."

Looking at the quiet Jialan, Lu Yu wondered if she should let her rest for a while, since she had been lying down for so long and it would be uncomfortable to suddenly change her position.

"...Seven...Seven Nights...Look up there!"

Cao Yuan stared ahead, his eyes trembling, his voice hoarse.

On the high platform, a king dressed in imperial robes sat on his throne, looking down upon all living beings. It was the same familiar face, but his aura was completely different.

"Is that Uncle Li?"

An Qingyu nodded and then shook her head: "Yes, and not entirely."

Lu Yu glanced at An Qingyu, pursed her lips, and said:

"He is the Emperor of Fengdu, and also Li Deyang."

“Lu Yu…”

An Qingyu smiled as she looked at the girl beside her, her eyes filled with knowing certainty.

"So you knew all along, didn't you? You were intentionally or unintentionally taking care of him the whole way, encouraging us to travel with him..."

Lin Qiye nodded as well: "Besides, Fengdu seems far too familiar to you, as if you know what's inside..."

such as……

He looked at Jialan, whom he had put down and was sitting to the side. Jialan sensed his gaze, looked over, blinked, and tilted his head: "..."

"...I do know..."

Lu Yu nodded with a smile.

"But these are all 'unspeakable'... the so-called secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."

Everyone: It smells like a fortune teller...

Lu Yu looked up at Di Ting, who was already kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and prepared to go forward to begin establishing a connection with the Six Paths.

But at that moment, everyone heard a loud "boom".

The sound came down from above, and when they looked up, they saw the darkness that covered the entire city.

Suddenly, a strange, bright red ripple appeared on the dark sky.

A sinister and eerie aura emanated from the city, spreading throughout the entire ancient city of Fengdu.

Those ghosts who were reborn were forced to suppress this aura, and their souls trembled and became unstable.
