Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

Su Yan, who was never petty, had already wandered over to the children's table and squeezed in next to Ao Ao.

The little boy, who looked about seven or eight years old, glanced at Su Yan and, before he could speak, said with a smug look on his face:

"It's no use you coming to me. The separation of the soul is too painful. I will not suffer that kind of torment."

"What a clever kid! He guessed it before I even said anything..." Su Yan pondered for a moment, then changed his approach and asked with a smile:

"How's the food here? Is it to your liking? We even brought out some special kids' food for you, and you ate quite a bit..."

"Who's the child!" Ao Ao said seriously, his face stern.

"Besides, we at the East Sea Dragon Palace eat seafood feasts every day. I don't like this kind of 'kids' food' at all, and I have no appetite for it!"

"Oh, right, right, those dozen or so empty plates of shredded pork with garlic sauce stacked next to you, the food inside was all eaten by the dog, right..." Su Yan glanced at him disdainfully, about to say something more.

Ao Ao suddenly raised his head, looked up at the deep night sky, and whispered:

"Did you set up such a huge array in the sky? It's even bigger than this city... And I can feel that you're drawing on the power of everyone in this city—and they're willing to lend it to you. This power is so special, so powerful... What kind of power is this?"

"You can actually see?" Su Yan was taken aback and also looked up at the sky.

At this moment, countless tiny specks of "creation" light in Cangnan were slowly rising from the bodies of millions of residents in the city, condensing into crimson starlight, like millions of crimson fireflies dancing gracefully, gradually converging in the sky above Cangnan, and already intertwining into a crimson ball of light the size of a head.

Beneath the Cangnan earth, the gilded [Mortal Divine Realm] materialized into a cylindrical golden platform, steadily supporting the sphere of light.

Further out, an even larger flaming Bagua diagram than Cangnan City unfolded in mid-air, its flames rising and swirling, obscuring the sky, their crimson light dazzling, rotating slowly and steadily.

At the center of the crimson sphere of light, the divination slip once cast by the Celestial Venerable—[Destruction]—suspended silently.

With each rotation of the Bagua diagram, the crimson sphere of light diminishes by one unit, causing the hexagram slips to flicker. In an instant, the calculations proceed a million times, relentlessly pursuing the vanished secrets of heaven.

"This level of deduction consumes 'creation' power every second. If I were to generate it myself, it would probably take me ten to fifteen days to accumulate it."

"And at this moment—"

"On the eve of the Lunar New Year, when the life of the Great Xia Dynasty is at its most vibrant and exciting, the hearts and vitality of millions of people converge into a flowing stream, inexhaustible and everlasting!"

Su Yan even dared to assert that... in this state, even if he was only at the "Klein" level, if he exerted his full strength, he would be able to pin the God to the ground and beat him until he couldn't even lift his head!

“I can’t see, but I’m very sensitive to formations… I can sense a little bit,” Ao Ao said, shaking his head.

"You scared me. If you could really see me... I almost thought you were one of my lost family members, and I was even thinking about how to snatch you back from the Dragon King." Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange sense of loss welled up in her heart.

There were five members of the clan who were separated from their clan at the beginning. After Tata returned, there has been no news of the last one.

Su Yan even used the Holy Grail once for this, and the Holy Grail almost "died from exhaustion," but still couldn't deduce the answer.

Moreover, as time went by, Su Yan gradually developed a feeling... that this last member of the clan might never be found again.

Although it was just an intuition, those who were good at divination and adept at manipulating fate believed in this kind of mysterious feeling the most, which made Su Yan sad for a long time.

"This power is called 'Creation'—'Heaven and earth are the furnace, creation is the craftsman. All living beings are the bronze, the sacred heart is the fire. Tempering the essence of the eight wastelands, forging eternal prosperity.'"

Su Yan spoke slowly, with a slight smile:

"It comes from the people and should be used for the people, which is why I can borrow this power from all living beings... Let me tell you, this feeling of being able to help others and being needed is truly reassuring. If you..."

"Big brother!"

Ao Ao suddenly used honorifics, his eyes sparkling with a glimmer of light as he looked at Su Yan adorably and asked:

"Among all the beings you protect... is I included?"

"Of course it includes."

"Big brother is such a good person!" Ao Ao said in a clear voice, her eyes filled with gratitude and joy. "Then, big brother who has worked so hard to protect me, he certainly wouldn't bear to watch me suffer the pain of my soul being separated, right, big brother!"

"..."

Su Yan's expression stiffened: "That's true... but actually, sometimes I'm pretty ruthless too..."

"Thank you, big brother! You really are the kindest person!"

Ao Ao excitedly raised his little hand, turned to the group of dragon grandchildren at the table, and shouted, "Everyone, stop eating! Quickly clap for your big brother!"

The dragon grandchildren put down their bowls and chopsticks. Although they didn't understand what had happened, they knew Ao Ao's words were right—if they didn't clap, they would probably get beaten up. So they clapped their hands vigorously.

"..."

Damn... this little brat is even better at putting on an act than Peppa Pig back in the day, he just put me right here!

Su Yan stared blankly at Ao Ao, who was staring at her with those bright, round eyes... After a long silence, she decided not to argue with a child and could only get up silently, intending to find Hong Ying to comfort her wounded heart.

"Hey~~ You think you can mess with me~!"

Ao Ao secretly made a "V" sign, revealing a smug smile on his face, and casually poured the shredded pork with garlic sauce from a child's bowl next to him into his own plate.

"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll beat you up!" Ao Ao raised his fist and said fiercely.

The child dared not get angry or speak, his little face looking wronged.

Just then, Ao Ao felt a tap on the back of his head.

Ao Ao turned around and looked—

A little girl dressed in bright red, with delicate features, was riding on the back of a round panda, looking down at him.

A pair of coral-red dragon horns on its head were particularly eye-catching, with crimson flames dancing at the tips of the horns, and long vermilion hair that hung down to its waist, moving without wind.

Ao Ao suddenly tensed up, a suffocating sense of oppression washing over him... even many times stronger than the oppressive aura emanating from his grandfather, the Dragon King, when he was enraged. He stared blankly at the little girl and managed to speak:

"Who...who are you...what do you want?"

The little girl beckoned with her finger, her voice cool and clear:

"You, come out here, I have something to discuss with you."

"..."
