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

(This chapter includes the character design of Xiao Lu. Since the author doesn't post many pictures in the main text, the character design of Xiao Lu is placed in this paragraph review. I will try to post it on time.)

Ten days and nights may not seem like a long time, but to Lu Yu it felt like an exceptionally long time.

When she opened her eyes again, she almost thought she had been asleep for several years.

"It's time to come out."

Taiyi's voice seemed to travel through a membrane to reach my ears.

Lu Yu stood up, the bones in his body rubbing against each other, making a crisp, creaking sound.

After shaking its limbs, Lu Yu leaped out of the pool.

On the shore, Taiichi stood there, holding a wooden tray in his hand.

Upon seeing the girl dressed in a light gold robe, he lowered his eyes and presented the tray to Lu Yu.

"This is a moon-flower gauze that your sister-in-law gave you,"

The strange gauze on the tray swayed gently with the movements of the deity, as if it were being soaked in water, displaying its color.

"Made from the colors of the night and the clouds of dawn, it can change its appearance to suit your taste. Try it on!"

Lu Yu's eyes lit up: "Great! Great!"

She accepted the unusual gift, and as soon as her fingers touched the gauze, the moonlight gauze clung to her fingertips like flowing water.

A fleeting flash of light, and the next second, the neatly dressed girl stood in place.

He wore a jade-white shirt with Chinese knot buttons, the two buttons featuring the familiar dark gold spiral pattern. The collar was adorned with delicate six-petal flowers, and the cuffs were fitted and bound with thin black ropes.

Her lower body was covered by a dark black pleated horse-face skirt, embroidered with dark gold patterns. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the array diagram of the Tranquil Mind Array.

The girl's long, silver hair flowed behind her, flawless and translucent, matching her sky-blue eyes like snowflakes gathered in the moonlight, complementing each other perfectly.

Taiichi had never seen a dress like this before, but he still sincerely praised it:

"Her ethereal beauty is like that of a fairy, every aspect of her is worthy of a painting."

Lu Yu laughed heartily, but the good looks lasted only three seconds before she raised her hand and scratched her head:

"For the first time, I feel like I could take a bath in lava..."

Taiyi: "..."

Although I don't understand it, I support the child's good interest.

"...Before you leave, let me give you a graduation gift..."

Taiichi stepped forward and ran his hand through the girl's unadorned hair.

A hair ornament adorned with a gilded bell rested amidst the silvery-white hair.

"This is……"

Lu Yu subconsciously touched the two bells adorning the bells, and a delicate, clear sound rang in her ears, pleasant and not bothersome.

"It's a blessed land..."

"Heavenly treasures are naturally not scarce, but you already have many treasures bestowed upon you by the gods, so these ordinary items are not of much use to you."

However, the demon realm is vast, so I gathered fragments of some rare demon beasts within this cave, along with some rare materials shed by demons, to create this small world.

The ancient divine bird, with its gentle gaze upon the young girl, captivated all who beheld it.

Lu Yu subconsciously held her breath, momentarily forgetting to think as she listened to her teacher's voice.

"You can give it a name, and then you will be its owner."

Lu Yu snapped out of her daze, looked at the pale light emanating from Donghuang Taiyi's body, and curled the corners of her lips: "This gift, which is unique in the entire prehistoric world and even the whole world, I must think of a special name!"

The girl shook her head, listened to the crisp sound, and smiled: "Let's call it 'One Step'!"

"step?"

Taiyi murmured those two words as he looked down at the girl's smile.

"It's because of Teacher Taiichi, of course!"

The girl looked at the god she had fantasized about countless times, who had now stepped in front of her and become her teacher. For a moment, she began to doubt whether all of this was just her imagination.

Donghuang Taiyi.

The number one person below the true saints in the entire primordial world.

In the original primordial world, after the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court disintegrated, his elder brother Di Jun died because of the Witch Clan. This god could have survived, but in the end, he chose to kill the remaining Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan alone and self-destruct in the enemy camp.

His elder brother has passed away, and of his ten nephews, only the youngest, Xiao Shi, remains. The demon race is no longer what it once was...

The Eastern Emperor died on that day, the golden crow's light dissipated, and it finally ignited itself.

He was just one step away from becoming a saint, and then he wouldn't be at the mercy of fate...

Sometimes, a single step requires someone else's entire life to take.

But the prehistoric world is different now.

The Lich and Demon races failed to start a war, and the ten princes were not killed by arrows... It's not too late.

This "step" represents not only Taiyi's one step away, but also Luyu's step-by-step reflection on the tragedy that never happened.

"...Taiichi-sensei, I'll head back now! I'll come see you again next time!"

Lu Yu raised his head to look at the brocade-clad immortal in front of him, waved his claws, and a passageway quietly opened behind him.

Taiyi took a step back and returned to his original position. Looking at the disciple he had spent two months with, he suddenly felt a sense of loss.

He looked at Lu Yu, but his eyes revealed a different side. The girl had patterns on her forehead that belonged to the golden crow feathers, and her bloodline was also tinged with a special aura.

That is the origin of the sun, and also the origin of the Chaos Bell of Donghuang Taiyi.

Rather than saying that the task he assigned to Lu Yu was to absorb that solar essence, it would be more accurate to say that—

He was allowing the deer to be painted with colors unique to the primordial world on this blank sheet of paper.

Every one of the gods had seen purity and flawlessness, and who wouldn't be tempted to have this pure whiteness in their hands?

But no one did that, yet when they saw the girl's every move, they realized that it was the trace of what they had taught her.

"...Taiichi-sensei!!!"

Lu Yu took a step forward, but then tried to pull it back, only to find that he had failed to do so.

Her anxious voice suddenly rang out, attracting Taiyi's attention, who was lost in thought. He saw the girl stuck at the entrance of the passage, with only half of her body remaining.

Taiyi: "..."

Suddenly, I don't want to admit that this is a student I taught.

Lu Yu gripped the boundary gate with both hands, trying to slow down the teleportation speed, but found it was impossible, so she hurriedly sped up her speech:

"Teacher! What is this Divine Ruins you gave me?!"

Taiyi sighed, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the girl in front of him be swallowed up with a "whoosh".

He paused, then suddenly realized that he hadn't explained the purpose of that feather to Lu Yu...

The deity coughed as if to cover up his unease.

It's alright, it's not important. I believe this child won't encounter any major trouble in the real world that would trigger that mechanism...

As for the divine ruins he bestowed upon Lu Yu...

Taiyi smiled.

There's more than one.

…………

Lu Yu opened her eyes, and the familiar pain assaulted her brain first.

She skillfully began to activate the reversal spell, regaining some of her strength before looking at herself.

Sure enough, every time I come back, my body feels refreshed.

The girl in the horse-face skirt got off the bed and pushed open the door.

"Lu Yu! You're awake?"

Outside the door stood An Qingyu and her two companions, all dressed up and seemingly about to leave.

Ye Fan was also standing in the living room, looking serious, as if he had just said something to the others.

Lu Yu looked bewildered: "What are you all doing...?"

Where are you planning to go?

What about me, the captain, and Fatty?

When I woke up, I really didn't know what day it was.

An Qingyu's expression was slightly cold, but it softened a little after she saw the girl who came out of the door.

Hearing Lu Yu's question, he then explained, "We need to get to Guangzhou and Shenzhen."

The boy lifted the vessel in his hand and gave a cold laugh.

"Collect our captain's body."
