Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

"What did you say?"

In the hospital corridor, Da Sheng opened his half-closed eyes, his golden eyes fixed on Jiang Ye.

The latter nodded slightly, and a faint green light slowly appeared in his palm.

The Great Sage looked at the eerie green light that contained powerful soul energy, and his eyes widened slightly.

Even during the time of the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, such methods had never been seen.

“Great Sage, this hospital can only accommodate us sick gods, so it can only wait until I am discharged.”

Jiang Ye said casually, and then told the Great Sage about the [Concept·Return to Soul] ability.

This caused an incredulous look to appear on the face of the usually stern and seemingly depressed Monkey King.

The idea that someone can be brought back to life simply by reciting their birth date and name, no matter how long they've been dead, is a bit too outrageous.

Even those old men from the Three Pure Ones don't have that ability.

The stone ape looked Jiang Ye up and down with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"Really?" it asked, unsure.

Jiang Ye nodded.

“Alright, if you can really do it, I, Old Sun, will do anything for you,” said the Great Sage.

[Treatment progress 50%...]

[Ding! You have helped Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, accelerate his healing progress, allowing Lin Qiye to extract the Monkey King's second ability within the Sea Realm alone.]

[Gain Modification Points: Points]

[Upon reaching five million modification points, you will advance to the half-step dimensional ascension realm and gain one [Primal Conceptualization].]

Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Ye nodded slightly to Da Sheng.

To break free from the shackles of fate and bring his parents back, he needs more modification points.

But his heart was still very complicated. He always spoke of others with disdain, but his own experiences were always very profound.

When his home disappeared, even a god like him felt resentment and complaints...

I can't simply let the hardships of life make me indifferent to the world.

Jiang Ye knew perfectly well that everything he was doing now was not for saving people or the world.

Instead, he longed to return to his home in that two-story building in the old town of Cangnan.

……

The unusual activity at the Gods Mental Hospital, the base of Squad 006, woke Lin Qiye, who was sleeping.

He frowned slightly, his consciousness returning to the hospital.

[Patient: Sun Wukong]

[Current treatment progress 50%, ability available for extraction...]

Lin Qiye looked at the patient panel with a somewhat surprised expression. When he looked at it yesterday, it was only 25%.

How did it jump so much all of a sudden?

Lin Qiye asked the nurses who were cleaning the hospital in the morning and learned that Jiang Ye and Dasheng had talked for a while in the morning and had even smashed a jar of fruit wine.

A hint of joy appeared on his face as he looked at the seventh ward, whose door was tightly closed.

"Jiang Ye, you're finally willing to communicate with people."

For the past two weeks, Jiang Ye has been staying in the ward, ignoring even the most active Bragi.

Now that he's willing to talk to the Great Sage, it seems his treatment has been quite successful.

Lin Qiye smiled and began extracting Monkey King's abilities...

……

Early in the morning, the sun rises.

Lu Baoyou, who had slept under the bridge all night, was awakened by the aroma of instant noodles, and his stomach began to rumble.

"You're awake. Come and eat."

The little beggar divided the instant noodles in the old hanging pot into two portions, handing the largest portion to Lu Baoyou.

The latter was taken aback, "This is... I didn't ask you to buy it..."

"I used my own money, consider it a thank you for driving away that monster last night." A smile appeared on the little beggar's dirty face.

Lu Baoyou hesitated for a moment, then slowly picked up the bowl of instant noodles. "I'm leaving today."

"Where?"

"Go find someone."

The little beggar blinked, thought for a moment, and then tapped Lu Baoyou's bowl with his broken bowl. "I wish you success, my hero."

hero?

Lu Baoyou stood there, stunned.

Half an hour later, Lu Baoyou emerged from under the bridge, but he did not go to the training camp immediately.

There are still two days until the training camp starts.

He walked into a courier station, hesitated at the door for a while, and then went in to ask, "Are you hiring here?"

Two days later, Lu Baoyou, clutching the four hundred yuan she had earned from her part-time job, walked into the bridge archway.

During the day, the little beggar is not in the underpass.

Lu Baoyou placed the money inside the little beggar's tattered blanket, stood there for a while, and then turned to leave.

Leaving behind a lonely figure...

……

Training camp in Beijing.

[Nightfall] The team gathered and stood on the platform of the training ground.

Zuo Qing distributed blue and white cloaks, straight swords, medals, and other items to the seven people one by one.

On one side, the Masked Squad, clad in gray cloaks, watched the ceremony.

However, what puzzled them was that, a body length away from Lin Qiye, there were eight people wearing the cloak and carrying straight swords of [Nightfall].

But there were clearly only seven of them.

"Captain, what's going on? [Nightfall] only has seven people, how come there's an extra cloak and straight sword?"

Whirlpool asked the king, somewhat puzzled.

Wang Mian also looked puzzled. The establishment ceremony of such a special team is very solemn and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Moreover, Zuo Qing had been Commander Ye's secretary for many years, and her meticulousness and conscientiousness were far beyond what ordinary people could match.

It shouldn't be possible for such a basic mistake to occur!

"Keep watching, Lin Qiye should explain later." Wang Mian's gaze fell on the stage.

Zuo Qing called out the names of the members of the [Nightfall] squad, instructing them to collect their cloaks and straight knives.

"Lin Qiye, An Qingyu, Baili Pangpang..."

"Eno!"

When the last name was read out, the members of the [Masked] team were all stunned.

Apart from Lin Qiye, Zuo Qing, An Qingyu, and the others all had somewhat complicated expressions in their eyes.

They knew about this before they came to the training camp, but they really had no impression of 'Jiang Ye'.

However, Lin Qiye insisted on leaving the position of vice-captain to Jiang Ye.

Zuo Qing carried Jiang Ye's cloak and straight sword to Lin Qiye's side and gently placed them on the ground.

He looked at Lin Qiye and reiterated, "Lin Qiye, I've checked all the Night Watch's files, and there's no such person as 'Jiang Ye' at all. Are you really going to give the vice-captain position to someone who doesn't exist?"

It doesn't exist!?

Lin Qiye frowned. "I'll say it again, he exists, you've just forgotten about him."

"Jiang Ye is the vice-captain of [Nightfall], always has been, and I'll wait for his return!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was astonished; it was the first time they had ever seen Lin Qiye like this.
