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

[Information: The Ancient God Church's [Whispers] have arrived on the south side of Jinan Mountain.]

[Information: Lin Qiye has gone to Village No. 5. The current number of survivors in Village No. 5 is 38, the number of dead is 7, and the number of missing persons is 36.]

Lu Yusong opened his hands on the ground, stood up somewhat weakly, and swayed slightly.

[Information: Shen Qingzhu has gone to Jinan Mountain to search for the missing persons. Members of the Ancient God Church are located 800 meters away, within the Sichuan border.]

[Information: Baili Tuming is heading towards Shen Qingzhu and will meet her within fifteen minutes.]

Survivors with wounds of varying degrees kept coming down the mountain, and those who stayed behind had found their rhythm and began to transport the wounded to the fenced-off open space.

Those who had recovered fully from their injuries stood up early to make room for the injured who arrived later.

[Information: The current location—Village No. 2—has been searched. The rescue team is returning. Total village population: 136; survivors: 76; dead: 37; missing: 23.]

The old man, who had been talking about his son and daughter-in-law, watched the busy young woman in military uniform moving among the wounded. He remained silent for a few seconds, glanced back at the dark mountains, and finally walked towards the direction of the rescuers.

[inform…………]

The system's notification sound was like an incessant waterfall drenching the girl, chilling her to the bone.

The cold numbers seemed to come into being at this moment.

She watched as her teammates and survivors, holding flashlights and helping each other back, walked back in the distance. Behind them, some teenagers were carrying innocent lives on makeshift stretchers.

It was so light, yet so heavy.

"Boom——"

In the distance, another section of collapsed mud and rocks fell into the broken pool, splashing up large waves.

The world is vast and magnificent, and this mountain and water, nourished by the sun and moon, can only appear after thousands of years, yet they can collapse in an instant.

Most of the people who had just escaped from a near-death experience instinctively covered their heads, staring in that direction, still in shock.

"Snapped……"

Someone dropped a water bottle they were holding, spilling water all over the ground.

At this moment, emotions burst forth like a dam breaking.

"I want to go home..."

Why are you doing this to us...?

“My little girl…she’s not coming out…”

The elderly man wiped away his cloudy tears, carrying one person in his arms as he walked to the door, shouting in a hoarse voice:

"What's the use of crying? We're already trying!"

He pointed to the twinkling lights that kept flashing on the dark mountain; those were the lamps in the soldiers' hands.

“These children aren’t even older than our own. They’re up there, and you’re down here crying. Who are you going to listen to?”

"They're not dead yet! They're still alive, so don't cry."

Some people were still dissatisfied with these words and muttered, "Then why are you crying? You're only talking about us..."

The old man silently walked to the area where the deceased was laid to rest, gently put the person down, opened his mouth, but found that he could no longer speak.

Those in the village who knew him looked over, gently patted the talkative fellow, and said with a hint of helplessness:

"He was holding his son..."

A night watchman passing by paused slightly in his uninterrupted steps.

"It'll be okay..."

He had just brought a group of wounded people down the mountain; his eyes were bloodshot and even had some mud in them.

"We will bring them back."

He was still young, and had not yet gone to the city he was to protect to fight against the mysterious, but he was already facing the death of humanity.

The wound on his arm had reopened; it was from when he used his bare hands to hold down a section of a tree trunk that had broken off and fallen from mid-air to save a survivor.

He felt a gentle pat on the shoulder, turned around, and saw the girl's face, which was even whiter than his own hair.

There was no fear in her blue eyes; she simply spoke to him in a soft yet firm tone:

"Leave the logistics to us..."

A faint glow spread across his arms, and in the blink of an eye, the wounds returned to their original state.

"We all need to be well..."

……

[This is an unchangeable fact; don't blame yourself, Lu Yu.]

The system's electronic voice was colder than falling rain, completely devoid of any fluctuation.

Lu Yu continued working, treating the group of wounded people before moving on to the next location.

Some soldiers who had encountered accidents on the mountain were sitting there; some of them were her classmates from the same training camp.

It was already past midnight when trucks carrying soldiers continued to drive along the road that, miraculously, was no longer littered with gravel, and finally arrived at the scene.

[Notification: The marked target Shen Qingzhu's current health is rapidly decreasing. The marked targets Li Liang, Li Jia, and Deng Wei at the same location are also in critical condition.]

[Shen Qingzhu remained where she was, while the other three moved in the opposite direction.]

Lu Yu had just released the hands of the dozen or so soldiers he had healed, and, utterly exhausted, raised his head to scan the flashing red dot marked by the system in mid-air.

It seemed that even the markers could sense the danger posed by the marked object, and the flashing frequency jumped so rapidly it was dazzling.

Lu Yu squinted her slightly uncomfortable eyes and raised her hand to touch her shoulder, which felt weak and tired.

"Can we get through?"

She looked at the soft soil beneath her feet, and it seemed as if that gentle voice echoed in her mind, that motherly woman stroking her head and whispering softly.

"As far as the eye can see, on the earth..."

Even separated by mountains and rivers, the distance is but a fleeting moment.

This vast land is your best helper.

So... what are you afraid of?

Lu Yu once again knelt down in front of the soldiers who had recovered.

She closed her eyes and tried her best to suppress the surging thoughts in her mind, focusing only on the spot marked by the system.

Large swaths of golden light surged like water beneath the dark ground, seemingly aiming for a single goal, and rushed toward the deep, dark mountains.

[Hint: The marked subject, Shen Qingzhu, is critically ill and unconscious. The marked subject, Baili Tuming, is heading towards her location, 100 meters - 90 meters - 80 meters away.]

"Shut up!"

Lu Yu's cold, deep voice echoed in his mind. After a brief pause, the system's electronic voice sounded again:

[Your power has reached the locations of both objectives—]

The moment he opened his eyes, Lu Yu lowered his head and pressed down with almost all his might, his ten fingers sinking deep into the mud.

"...All of you, live on!"

I don't want any magic jade to restore my life, and I don't want to owe anyone a favor...

Whether it's the arrogant guy or his usually inconspicuous lackeys...

You are all heroes, take good care of yourselves...

[...The marked object, Li Liang, has been restored;]

The marked object, Li Jia, has been restored;

The marked object, Deng Wei, has been restored.

The golden light that emerged from the ground and entered the bodies of the three boys in the forest only paused for a moment before shooting out again and disappearing back into the ground, speeding away into the distance.

After a few minutes.

[...The treatment is over, and the marked subject, Shen Qingzhu, has returned to normal and has awakened—]

Baili Tuming has arrived at the target location.

Please stop, Lu Yu.

Lu Yu seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, slumped to the ground, and stared at the sky, still somewhat dazed.

"Very good……"

I don't know when, but the rain stopped.

She ignored the dirt on the ground and leaned back, letting go of all her strength.

As night fell, the rain washed away all the cloud shadows.

The stars twinkled, the night sky was dazzling, and in the silent mountains and forests, only the breathing of the people who had escaped their pain and the faint sobs could be heard.

Lu Yu raised her hand to cover her eyes, but it was no use in doing so, and a tear fell.

"Is this what you call an established fact?"

She laughed out loud at the system in her mind.

The cold touch of the remaining dirt on her hands brought a sense of gentleness and peace to her heart.

This time, Fatty didn't use up the Resurrection Jade.

That would always be his lifeline...

Shen Qingzhu

I saved you.

Next time, when your own piece of jade is truly carved,

Please remember this kindness and go home safely...
