While slaying gods, he suffers from a terminal illness and signs in to collect the seven gods of Gen

During the rush, there were also streaks of electricity... Zhao Kongcheng could feel that the source of this power was the medal Lei Movie had given him.

But there's no time for him to ask now.

Despite the numbness in his severed left arm, Ghost King raised his right arm and held it across his chest.

Raise your hand,

Swing the knife!

All in one go.

An unprecedentedly huge crescent moon, accompanied by lightning and thunder, slashed fiercely towards the Ghost-Faced King!

Ghost King's pupils shrank sharply, and he quickly prepared to dodge.

but,

Pfft——!

Its expression froze, and its grotesque, pale-faced head flew off.

.....

Elemental Burst "Secret Technique: True Dream Teachings".

Lei crossed his hands in front of his chest, and a bright lightning bolt formed between his hands as he slowly pulled out "Dream One Heart".

The lightning rapidly expanded in front of it, gradually forming a circular energy cluster shimmering with purple lightning...

This energy cluster rotated continuously, absorbing lightning elements from the surrounding space, like a giant lightning element vortex.

"This moment, the time of death!"

As the sound faded, the masked king in front of the movie was suppressed by Thor's divine power and dared not move.

"call out!"

Lei Yingdong thrust his hands forward with a sudden, thunderous roar.

The enormous ball of lightning energy shot forward!

Wherever the lightning blade passed, the ground was torn into trenches, and the air was ionized, producing crackling sounds.

Ghost Faced King, dead!

From then on, both Ghost Kings perished.

The Ghost-Faced King that Zhao Kongcheng killed had its elemental power awakened because he accidentally activated the lightning element "Eye of God".

At this point, he was already dead and could not die any further.

He was tainted by the most "desolate" thunder from this place, which severed his control over his body.

The pale ghost face residing on the chest of the Ghost King's body also fell completely silent.

The gears of fate have begun to turn...

***

Gurgling.

With the Ghost-Faced King's head falling to the ground, Zhao Kongcheng's life was also nearing its end.

Zhao Kongcheng gripped the Star Blade tightly with both hands, planting it in the ground to steady himself.

Scratches, bumps, falls... at least five or six bones are broken.

Zhao Kongcheng was aware of his physical condition; his life force was like the embers in the ashes, growing weaker and weaker...

Lin Qiye walked to Zhao Kongcheng's side, "Your body..."

"It's nothing serious... cough cough cough, just a side effect of forcibly unleashing potential."

"If you do this... you'll die."

"I know."

"Is it worth it? Even if it means dying?"

"Hahaha." Zhao Kongcheng wanted to laugh, but as soon as he started to laugh, he couldn't support himself anymore.

With a sway, she lay straight down in Lin Qiye's arms.

Lin Qiye was at a loss; he wanted to treat Zhao Kongcheng's wounds...

But I don't know where to start.

"Stop bothering, even though you're about to die..."

“But at least I got to experience the Forbidden Ruins before I died, hehe…” Zhao Kongcheng looked at Liu Lang, “Please thank your master for me, the thing she gave me… is quite useful.”

"No need to thank me. If you can't activate it... even if I give it to you, it's just a broken stone." Lei Yingdong walked over step by step.

Her hair and the hem of her clothes began to flutter in the wind, her figure appearing and disappearing in the light of the purple lightning.

"Anyway, thank you." Zhao Kongcheng reached out shakily, touched the mud beneath him, and found his hand covered in blood. "'A sword drawn across the abyss, blood staining the sky.' With this amount of blood, even if it can't stain the sky, it should be enough to stain a patch of earth."

Lin Qiye didn't understand. "You don't have millions of people behind you. Apart from us, no one knows how hard you've worked. Is it really worth it?"

Zhao Kongcheng smiled and said, "Do me a favor."

"You said."

"There's a pack of cigarettes in my pocket. Light it up for me."

Lin Qiye took out a rain-soaked cigarette from Zhao Kongcheng's chest pocket and a lighter from his trouser pocket.

Snap, snap... snap!

It seems to be soaked in water; it just won't come out.

"Use mine..." Liu Lang took out a windproof lighter from the empty bag.

Although it got wet, it's still usable after shaking it.

Click——!

A flame ignited, lighting the cigarette in Zhao Kongcheng's mouth.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if he felt completely relieved.

Zhao Kongcheng looked at the sky and exhaled a puff of smoke.

“Lin Qiye…” His voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself.

Lin Qiye listened quietly and nodded, "Mm."

"I chopped down Ghost Face King with one stroke, did you see that?"

"I saw it."

"handsome or not?"

Lin Qiye: "Cool!"

Liu Lang: "Forget about whether you're handsome or not, let's hurry up and find Xiao Nan to help you get better."

"Damn it, let me continue!"

"The guy even the captain couldn't kill, I killed him... Lin Qiye, tell me, am I awesome?" Zhao Kongcheng continued, "With my awesome achievements, how could we not... appoint him as a general..."

His gaze gradually dimmed, and the cigarette in his hand was almost burned out.

"Wasn't I cool just now?" Zhao Kongcheng asked with his last bit of strength.

"Awesome!" Lin Qiye's lips trembled, but he nodded firmly. "Absolutely awesome!"

But after Zhao Kongcheng finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and never opened them again.

"Zhao Kongcheng—!!!"

Blah blah blah!

The sizzling sound of residual lightning stimulated the nerves of the headless ghost-faced king's corpse, causing it to suddenly twitch.

Lin Qiye took the Star Blade from Zhao Kongcheng's hand and raised his hand expressionlessly.

Swing the knife!

The rain could soak him to the bone, but it couldn't extinguish the rage in his heart, or those burning golden eyes!

The Ghost Face King was already dead, and the muscles in his corpse had relaxed, making it easy for Lin Qiye to cut him open.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

Lin Qiye had absolutely no strategy; he just slashed aimlessly...

Cut off the remaining four limbs of the Demon King.

Consider it venting his anger; when Lin Qiye made his first strike, he already knew that Ghost Face King was truly dead.

But he didn't stop, as if that would allow him to vent his confusion and resentment.

Finally, he reversed his grip on the Star Blade and, with all his might, plunged it downwards into the pale ghost face that had solidified into a wrinkled, semi-solid mass on the Ghost King's chest.

This strike was delivered with all its might, piercing right through the Ghost King's body!

The Star Blade pierced through the Ghost-Faced King's body and plunged directly into the muddy ground soaked by rain.

After doing all this, Lin Qiye seemed to have lost his earlier madness and walked to Zhao Kongcheng's "corpse".

Liu Lang stood not far from them, watching Lin Qiye mutter something to Lao Zhao.

He also...

Lei Yingdian was about to remind Lin Qiye that Zhao Kongcheng was not dead...

Liu Lang grabbed Lei Yingdian's hand, shook his head, and said, "Let him calm down first."

If Lin Qiye finds out that Zhao Kongcheng is not dead, where will he sign in for the main storyline later on?

Although it seems that he has only checked in three times in the past few days, it would be somewhat arbitrary to use this to judge whether the check-in system is related to Lin Qiye.

But the butterfly's wings have already flapped, and the second masked man that appeared earlier is a clear example.

Is not it?

So all Liu Lang can do is try his best to keep the main storyline of this world on track.

Side quests can be changed, but important storylines like Lin Qiye joining the Night Watch shouldn't be altered.

No one knows what the world of Godslayer will eventually become.

Lei glanced at Liu Lang and then at Lin Qiye, but ultimately said nothing.

Lin Qiye looked up at the dark sky where it was raining, and then...

"vomit--!"

Lin Qiye vomited up all the braised pork and other dishes he had eaten at his aunt's house.

Because these foods were eaten not long ago.

It hasn't been digested yet...

Just a few days ago, Lin Qiye was blind when he first killed someone. He had never seen such a bloody scene before, especially since he had done it himself.

The resulting psychological pressure was amplified by the foul-smelling "body odor" of the Ghost-Faced King.

My body finally couldn't take it anymore, and I vomited.

Liu Lang walked over and patted his back to make him feel better after vomiting. "I never saw you vomit when we fought the masked man together before. Why are you vomiting so badly this time?"

“This is different.” Lin Qiye pushed Liu Lang away, stood in the rain looking in the direction of the building, and suddenly asked Liu Lang, “Don’t you think I’m very afraid of dying?”

“I’ve never thought that way. Everyone has the right to choose their own life. As for whether the choice is right or wrong, who knows?” Liu Lang said earnestly.

Just like him in his past life, and just like him in this life, they are the same.

I hope that my achievements can earn me even a little bit of companionship from her, but I can't even do that because my mother is too busy to take care of me.

And how does he see himself in his father's eyes?

He's just a bookworm who only knows how to read.

Even if...

Even if he dies, I'm afraid only his mother will be heartbroken for him...

I doubt Liu Liang could even shed a single tear.

Having already experienced it once before, these events had almost no impact on him after he awakened his memories.

Lin Qiye listened intently to Liu Lang's words, but he himself was no different...

He looked up at the sky, feeling the raindrops on his face, and slowly began to speak: "I've seen angels since I was a child, gone blind, and locked up in a mental hospital. From childhood to adulthood... I've wanted to end my life in the darkness countless times, but... my family has saved me time and time again. Unlike those people in the night watch who are busy in the city chasing their own desires and complaining about 'injustice'."

Liu Lang nodded. He understood Lin Qiye's choice. Compared to Lin Qiye, his own experience was nothing.

“I know. So, I'll say it again... whatever choice you make, I'll support you.”

Lin Qiye's gaze turned complicated upon hearing Liu Lang's words. "But, I'm the kind of person who can't stand owing favors to others. Zhao Kongcheng saved my entire world. I've heard that the Night Watch has good benefits, and even after Old Zhao's death, he'll still have the Night Watch's help and receive the best treatment... His funeral will definitely be arranged properly."

He has plenty of money, and I have even less. How can I ever repay such a huge favor?

Liu Lang felt the burning gaze in Lin Qiye's eyes and wanted to say, "Just join the Night Watch, my Qiye~", but the words that came out were, "How should I know?"

Upon hearing Liu Lang's reply, Lin Qiye clenched his fists tightly, then relaxed them. "That's right, I really shouldn't have asked you."

Using Old Zhao's Star Blade for support, he slowly stood up, muttering to himself, "In my entire life, I, Lin Qiye, have only wronged three people: my aunt who toiled for me for ten years, my cousin who I burdened for ten years..."

And then there's you, Zhao Kongcheng!

Since you saved the lives of my family of three,

You saved my whole world.

In exchange...

I'll protect your world for ten years!

Ten years later, no matter what the circumstances, I, Lin Qiye, will have nothing to do with the Night Watchmen anymore.

I have no further connection with these 'living beings'!

I will still return to this home and continue my original life.

Is this deal... fair enough?

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener; for Lin Qiye...

Perhaps the cruelest thing is that his aunt had already died ten years ago when he went blind.

Wait a minute!? Ten years ago, he seemed to be in Cangnan City too...

So, is he dead or alive now?

Silence filled Cambridge tonight, and Liu Lang's expression grew increasingly somber...

What a disastrous start! He escaped a terminal illness, but still couldn't escape the fate of the "Mortal God Realm"?

Not far from Lin Qiye and Liu Lang.

Lei Movie slowly walked over...

Not a drop of rain fell on her; the raindrops disappeared as soon as they hit her head.

Even after just finishing a battle against the "Chuan" Realm Ghost King, who was two realms above her, she still retained her noble bearing...

"You two just left him lying in a pool of blood like that? And you chatted away as if no one else was there?" Lei Yingdong said calmly, lifting Zhao Kongcheng by the handle next to his tattered dark red cloak.

Zhao Kongcheng was simply being carried by Lei Yingdian as easily as if he were carrying a life-sized teddy bear...

Zhao Kongcheng was exceptionally large, and Lei Yingdian simply lifted him up.

emm......

The contrast is... extremely large; I won't describe the specific scenes.

In Lin Qiye's heart, Zhao Kongcheng was already dead, after all, he could no longer feel Zhao Kongcheng's breath.

It wouldn't matter if he lay on the ground a little longer, but...

Did Lei Movie just abruptly lift him up like that?

"You...you put him down first. Let's talk this out..." Lin Qiye swallowed and said cautiously.

***

"Xiangnan, I've arrived at the old residential area. Where is Zhao Kongcheng now?" A woman wearing a cloak and soaking wet stood on the street in the heavy rain, panting heavily.

"In the open space two buildings in front of you," Wu Xiangnan's voice came through the earpiece, then continued, "Hongying... you need to be prepared for a tough battle, and, Old Zhao, he..."

"What's wrong with Old Zhao?"

"We lost contact with Lao Zhao a few minutes ago, and the last thing he sent back was..."

"What is it? Tell me right now!!"

"Old Zhao said that a second masked man has appeared on his side, and the captain and the others are already on their way."

Leng Xuan is currently on the rooftop not far from you, providing you with remote support.

besides......

Old Zhao's emblem hasn't been moved for several minutes now...

Tears streamed unconsciously from Hongying's eyes, mingling with the rain and blurring her vision. She began to run frantically...

When she arrived at the scene, this is what she saw...

A young boy carries a Star Blade on his back and holds a man's "corpse" in his arms; the man is covered in blood...

A man and a woman stood on either side of them.

A boy and a woman.

The boy held a black umbrella in his hand, shielding Zhao Kongcheng from the torrential rain.

The boy, clutching the corpse, roared with all his might, "This junior, Lin Qiye, escorts General Zhao Kongcheng on his triumphant return!!!"
