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

(Please be sure to read the end of this chapter and pay attention to the author's notes!)

Zhou Ping stood in front, with the survivors of Tianhe City behind him, and five gods in front of him.

At this moment, four of the nine Egyptian Ennead gods appeared, as did Hades of Greece.

Hearing the people behind him shouting "Please, Great Xia Sword Saint, slay the god!", the young man instinctively clutched his chest.

It was radiating a glass-like brilliance.

He didn't have time.

Along the way, in order to save people, he had already used the divine artifact that Lu Yu had given him on those who were seriously injured and dying, keeping them alive and preventing them from dying outright.

But now, already somewhat exhausted, he faces a total of five gods.

Amidst the shouts of these people, Zhou Ping's long-dormant emotions reached their peak at this moment.

He was once surrounded by malice, and from then on he stopped loving the world and immersed himself in the world of novels, unwilling to wake up.

Surrounded by people, he has once again rekindled his passion.

Although he is still a little short of breaking the shackles of human limits.

But Zhou Ping gripped the Dragon Elephant Sword tightly, and his gaze as he looked up at the five gods remained unwavering.

There is no time.

Since it's about slaying gods, then igniting the fire in one's heart and cutting through the ultimate is enough.

…………

When Lin Qiye and his group arrived inside Tianhe City on their somersault cloud, they could only see the black-clad youth with blood on his cheeks and empty hands, yet he stood above everyone else, unwavering even among gods.

Before him, Osiris, who had previously fled, reappeared, along with the other three Egyptian gods: Hugh, Set, and Amun. Beside the three gods stood Hades, dressed entirely in black.

They just happened to witness the moment when Zhou Ping severed Osiris's neck. As all the gloom dissipated, the city phantom in the sky also vanished into thin air.

"Osiris!!"

Having witnessed the sacrifice of his companions, Seth finally began to fear the human before him.

"It's useless. You're just a human. This one sword strike is already your limit!"

As he watched the mysterious figures drawing ever closer to the city behind him, Seth's gaze towards Zhou Ping returned to its usual haughty demeanor.

"How much strength do you have left? There are so many weak people behind you who need your help..."

"Senior Sword Master!"

Upon hearing that familiar address, Zhou Ping subconsciously glanced at the herd of beasts behind him—

The teenagers who were supposed to be taking on a challenge had somehow arrived here. Each of them fought at the forefront, wielding weapons and blocking the advance of the largest horde of beasts.

"Why are you here..."

Zhou Ping was helpless.

"Sword Saint, we've come to take you home."

Lin Qiye leaped to block a mysterious attack, then turned and ran towards Zhou Ping with the others.

"Everyone is waiting for you..."

Lin Qiye used the first ability Sun Wukong had given him in the mental hospital, namely the Somersault Cloud, in an attempt to pull Zhou Ping out of the siege of the gods.

"Ridiculous! What can possibly defy the gods?"

Seth raised a finger, and a large amount of yellow sand gathered, transforming into a long spear that thrust straight at Lin Qiye and the others.

Zhou Ping flashed forward, blocking his students' path, and cleaved the spear in two with his sword.

"You guys hold off those beast hordes, leave this to me."

After Zhou Ping finished speaking, he went forward without looking back to greet the four gods.

"Today I've come to make you, Great Xia, pay the price for hurting me last time..."

Hades sighed.

"But I never expected you to be so stubborn and insist on resisting..."

Zhou Ping remained silent. In his struggle against these deities, he had somehow grasped a portion of the divine power.

That is the law.

Every god must master a law...

Humans cannot surpass the gods, and that is precisely why.

And he wants to find a path that belongs to humanity!

"Lin Qiye! Sword, come!"

The summoning array in Lin Qiye's hand flickered, and the next second, he threw [Qiyuan] at Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping took the sword, and with a single strike, countless sword shadows flashed around him. His astonishing sword intent materialized, pointing directly at the gods in the heavens—

An aura of law descended upon the mortal realm.

That belongs to the laws of the mortal sword immortals.

The Laws of the Sword.

Its creator was named Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping, the Great Xia Sword Saint.

…………

Zhou Ping knew he was at his limit.

He unleashed three sword strikes, each one severing the head of a god, but in doing so, it also dissipated a part of his soul.

He is in a constant decline.

Zhou Ping could sense it, and Xiu, as the only remaining god, could also sense it.

Looking at the blood-stained youth kneeling on one knee before him, he realized that just moments before, this man had killed three gods with three sword strikes, and not a single one of his strikes had been in vain.

Such humans are a formidable enemy and must be eradicated!

Xiu gritted his teeth, looking at Zhou Ping who was coughing up blood with his head down, and was about to take action—

Just as Lin Qiye and his group were about to rush over after clearing away a large amount of mysterious debris, they saw that the ground beneath their teacher was soaked in blood, and the god was raising his hand to stab him.

"Sword Saint Senior!!!"

Zhou Ping had no strength left.

Even if he heard Lin Qiye and the others calling out, he was too weak to respond; he couldn't even lift his hand.

He slew the four gods, which is not bad...

It's just a pity that he still has so many things left undone...

He also wanted to...

I'm still waiting for that child to come home...

"Teacher Zhou……"

A soft call rang in his ears, so soft it seemed to drift away on the wind, and Zhou Ping almost thought it was a hallucination.

"Teacher Zhou……"

This is not an illusion.

Zhou Ping's body trembled slightly, and with his last bit of willpower, he raised his head—

A white-haired girl descended from the sky, like a savior descending to earth.

She stood with her back to the light, her hands outstretched, her eyes covered by a white silk robe, wearing a light, wide-sleeved inner garment, a gentle smile playing on her lips, both broken and peaceful.

"I'm back...Teacher Zhou..."

The girl gently embraced her teacher, who was kneeling on the ground, exhausted.

"Sorry... I'm late..."

The young man's voice was so hoarse that he could barely speak, yet he still managed to read out each word clearly:

"Little deer..."

"Um……"

The girl responded to the bewildered young man, behind her was the full force of an Egyptian god's attack.

"Deer!"

Seeing this, Zhou Ping wanted to push away Lu Yu, whom he had just regained, but he saw the girl raise a hand and gently press it behind her back—

"Between Heaven and Earth".

With that sound, the entire world instantly turned upside down.

All of them, along with the gods, stood on this sky, while the ground was upside down above their heads.

The attack that was originally meant to land on the two of them missed completely and vanished in mid-air.

Lu Yu gently touched her teacher's wounded cheek and sighed.

Zhou Ping stared blankly at the girl in front of him, somewhat unable to react.

He saw the white silk covering the girl's eyes and asked with some sadness, "Your eyes..."

They had all heard Lin Qiye say it.

The girl gouged out her own eyes.

How painful it must have been for her back then...

But now she's appeared before them again, acting as if nothing happened...

Lu Yu smiled slightly, took Zhou Ping's hand and gently touched it to her eyes: "It doesn't hurt anymore... Teacher Zhou... really."

Zhou Ping carefully touched the white silk that was soaked with the girl's body heat, but he quickly withdrew his hand, afraid of hurting the person in front of him.

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Ping finally catch his breath.

She turned around and looked at the bewildered Hugh, who was also scrutinizing the girl who had suddenly appeared and turned the tide: "Who are you?"

Lu Yu curled the corners of his lips into a cold smile:

“Da Xia, Lu Yu, is also the one who will kill you.”

A massive array disc appeared beneath the girl's feet, inscribed with six strange runes that progressed layer by layer, lighting up continuously. When the final layer of runes illuminated, Xiu heard the girl's hands make a flower-picking gesture in front of her chest—

"All sentient beings are liberated."

At that moment, an invisible force pressed Hugh's body down towards the dome beneath his feet...

He was completely unable to move an inch.

He could only watch as the array centered on the girl expanded continuously until it reached his eyes—

"Even the high and mighty gods can be slain by the ants you once looked down upon..."

Zhou Ping opened up a new path for humanity, so she brought her teacher the fairness that a true mortal sword immortal deserved.

"But have you ever considered that even gods are nothing more than mere puppets in the face of fate..."

Lin Qiye watched as the white-haired girl on the high platform, like a crane spreading its wings, was about to fly away.

But in the next moment, her fingertips drew out threads, like those in a folk puppet show, each thread, like a serpent, weaving through the ruins and leading into the city that had been inverted in the sky. And the other end of the threads—

As Hugh grew increasingly weak and seemed on the verge of disappearing, he began to cough incessantly, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Inside his body, a headless four-lined vein pierced through his skin, reaching directly to the source of the god's life.

"God?"

The girl, just standing there, exuded a sense of awe and intimidation, much like the blue-robed deity she had only met once.

"In my divine ruins, all beings are equal."

Even if you're a god, just turn into a human...

The silk threads were pulled out of Hugh's body as his fingers tugged.

A radiant divine essence burst forth and flew towards the city above.

As Lin Qiye watched the divine spark reach the sky, it emitted another buzzing sound and then transformed into countless starlight points, falling down.

"You won't be happy for long... We've joined forces, and all the gods are about to arrive in Great Xia... Cough cough... You're destined to be defeated by us..."

Hugh's face was ashen, and his body trembled as the threads were pulled, but he still could not relinquish his dignity as an Egyptian god. Even if he died, he would stand up rather than kneel before the girl.

Lu Yu laughed: "So what? Do you think it's enough that your Egyptian gods came to Bactria and died?"

Xiu stared intently at Lu Yu, wondering what she was talking about.

"Do you really think the gods of Great Xia can't extricate themselves?"

Lu Yu arrived at Fengdu first because he was taking Xia Youjie, Xingji, and Fuheishen to the Japanese underworld. However, he did not expect that Fengdu was directly below the Egyptian temple at that moment.

It was only after going there that I understood why the Great Xia Underworld had not shown itself during this divine invasion.

"The moment you arrived in Great Xia, Fengdu had already destroyed the other nine pillar gods. Your La, I remember, should have been killed by the Great Emperor who shattered his soul."

Why does the Great Xia Underworld dare not confront the outer gods?

They remained silent!

The gift that Houtu Niangniang gave her was also a gift of rebirth for the human world.

"Fate... the fate of our Great Xia is in our own hands."

With the golden threads in his hand moving, the god finally could not bear it and knelt on the sky.

"Your fate is in my hands."

This is the meaning of "all beings are saved," when the deer, having transcended death, is connected with the divine...

Their lives hung in the balance.

Lin Qiye looked at the girl above, and at the sword immortal who was gradually recovering within the six formations, and suddenly laughed.

A person without a destiny?

If this is the only way to change one's fate...

For her, the deer must have been someone who had transcended life and death.

She didn't just save Zhou Ping...

At that moment, she saved them, and the millions of people behind them.

If the sword immortal does not perish, all living beings will be saved.

This is the real Lu Yu.
