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

Asylum of the Gods.

In the seventh ward, Lin Qiye's eyelashes fluttered slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.

He sat up and rubbed his head, which was as sticky as paste.

In his only memory, Jiang Ye only glanced at him once before he fainted.

Is this the oppressive power of the supreme god?

Lin Qiye rubbed his head, feeling quite surprised.

When he was on the western border, he had also felt the divine pressure of the Queen Mother of the West, who was almost as powerful as the supreme god, but he was not so weak as to collapse at a glance.

Jiang Ye said he had just broken through, so how could his pressure be so terrifying?

Lin Qiye looked puzzled, but upon closer reflection, he understood.

The supreme god of the Five Laws is certainly far superior to any other supreme god.

He might even be able to go toe-to-toe with the Great Xia Emperor; that's incredibly powerful.

Lin Qiye smiled helplessly, looking at his own strength, which was only at the level of 'Klein', and a look of worry gradually appeared on his face.

Why am I still so weak even though I have cheat codes?

He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of the mental hospital.

Click!

The sound of a door opening came, and Lin Qiye looked up slightly.

Jiang Ye carried two breakfasts into the ward.

He glanced at himself with his deep eyes and said calmly, "You're awake. Come and eat."

Lin Qiye was slightly taken aback. He got off the bed, sat at the dining table, looked at the slightly burnt fried eggs on the plate, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Ye.

"You...did it?"

Jiang Ye's hand trembled almost imperceptibly, and he shook his head. "No."

"Oh." Lin Qiye smiled, picked up his chopsticks and started eating, showing no sign of disgust.

Jiang Ye glanced at Lin Qiye, a slight smile playing on his lips, and looked at the sunlight streaming in through the window.

He was thinking about what would happen after the story of guarding the monument.

According to the original story, it was Michael who sent the Nightfall Squad to heaven to retrieve a sacred object called the 'Ark of the Covenant'.

But now that Michael is dead, will this plot actually happen?

Or am I already on the chessboard of fate?

Jiang Ye pondered for a moment. The Ark of the Covenant, a sacred artifact of the Heavenly Kingdom, was used by Yeland in the original story to send Lingbao Tianzun and Jialan to a higher-dimensional world to resist the resurgence of Azathoth's consciousness.

However, the current plot should be delayed or shifted due to Michael's death.

So, the next part of the story will either involve the Vault of Kings or a journey to Asgard.

Although he can now see everything outside using the concept of miracles, it is still too limited.

Moreover, my forced departure from the hospital last time made it seem like the rules here have put me on a high-priority list, making it very difficult to break the rules again.

We can only judge based on the original plot.

The next plot twist is to obtain the Ark of the Covenant from heaven.

Then many plot points would fall apart, and the amount of modification points gained would be enormous.

Jiang Ye looked at the [Items] section on the system panel, where the [Fragment of Heaven] was shimmering with holy light.

Give this to Little Gold and let it go in and get it. Hopefully, it can get the Ark of the Covenant before Odin.

As for why it wasn't Han Shaoyun... he's probably already...

Ok?

Just as he was thinking this, Jiang Ye felt a jolt, as a divine power sensed coming from outside the hospital.

That's... Han Shaoyun!

……

At the summit of Jiuhua Mountain.

Inside the temple, a monk wearing a kasaya looked at the man kneeling on the prayer mat and spoke softly.

"This is his choice, you don't need to be sad about it."

Dressed in white, Han Shaoyun stared at Ye Fan, who had transformed into a golden Buddha statue, his eyes bloodshot, and trembled all over.

Tears welled up in his eyes and dripped onto the ground.

"Why! You are the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Dynasty, while I am just an ordinary person, a person who betrayed his own beliefs and is trying to atone for his sins by changing the minds of others. I am not worthy of your doing this!"

Han Shaoyun stood hysterically before Ye Fan's Buddha statue, his fists clenched tightly.

The Golden Cicada Grandmaster, standing to the side, glanced at Han Shaoyun and shook his head slightly.

"May Buddha have mercy! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Benefactor, you have saved countless lives in the Great Xia Dynasty. Your merit is immeasurable..."

"So what! Isn't his life a life too?" Han Shaoyun roared, looking at Grand Master Jin Chan, "Grand Master, is there any way to save him? You must have a way, right?"

Grand Master Jin Chan smiled and shook his head, "The [Destiny-Turning Pearl] is a forbidden object condensed by the [Buddha of Destiny] in the Second King Ruins, and it can alter the fate of others."

"But fate itself cannot be easily changed; to try to alter fate requires paying an unimaginable price."

"And Ye Fan traded his life for yours."

"This is his fate."

The Grand Master Jin Chan bowed deeply before the enormous Buddha statue in the temple.

Fate! Fate! Must we really obey this bullshit fate?!

Han Shaoyun gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "Grand Master, what if I don't believe in fate!"

Jin Chan was taken aback, glanced at Han Shaoyun, and slowly turned around.

"If you don't believe in fate, you can go to the senior. He is the first person besides the [Buddha of Destiny] to dare to fight against fate."

The words echoed in the temple, but the figure of the Grand Master Jin Chan had already disappeared on the top of Mount Jiuhua.

Senior? Jiang Ye!

Han Shaoyun was taken aback, and looked at the Buddha statue in front of him, his eyes narrowing.

“Commander Ye, you chose to believe in me when no one else trusted me, and in the end you risked your life for mine… You and Jiang Ye are among the few lights in my life.”

"When Ziqi died, Boya broke his zither strings!"

"I, Han Shaoyun... will not let down my kindred spirit!"

Han Shaoyun slowly stood up, picked up the silver-white halberd from the ground, his gaze as firm as a rock.

He turned to look outside the temple, glanced back slightly, and looked at Ye Fan's golden Buddha statue, revealing a faint smile.

"Commander Ye, I will find a way to save you, no matter what it takes."

……

Suzhou People's Hospital.

As they walked slowly, Han Shaoyun slightly raised his weathered face and looked toward the hospital where his wife, Qingqing, was.

He brushed the snow off his robes, walked into the hospital, and quickly found Qingqing's ward based on the information given by Zuo Qing.

He didn't go in, but stood at the doorway, looking through the glass at everything in the ward.

Wearing loose-fitting clothes, Jiang Qingqing smiled and touched her prominent belly.

"Did you hear that? Secretary Zuo said Dad is still alive and will be back today. Are you happy?"

Jiang Qingqing's words were full of joy.

Han Shaoyun stared intently, but his hands clenched tightly. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly grasped the doorknob and gently turned it.

"Green, green!"

he shouted.

Jiang Qingqing, who was talking to her unborn child, was stunned when she heard that familiar voice.

She slowly raised her head, looking at the person she had been longing for day and night, her hands awkwardly supporting her on the bed, wanting to greet him.

Han Shaoyun quickly went to the bedside, supported his wife, his eyes glistening with tears.

"Don't move, just lie still."

Jiang Qingqing stopped what she was doing and reached out to touch Han Shaoyun's rough face. "It's good that you're alright..."

Her voice choked with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes.

When Ye Fan said that Han Shaoyun had sacrificed his life for the country, she felt as if the sky had fallen.

Thankfully, everything is alright...

Han Shaoyun held his wife's hand and gently comforted her, "Qingqing, I'm sorry for the past six months..."

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Jiang Qingqing shook her head. “Shaoyun, I was too concerned at the time. I didn’t want an innocent life to be labeled as a traitor because of us before the child was even born.”

"I'm sorry, Shaoyun, I was too harsh with my words back then."

Han Shaoyun didn't blame her. From Zuo Qing's information, he learned that since he left the Night Watch and the wanted poster appeared.

This resulted in Qingqing receiving a lot of negative comments...

"It's all in the past." Han Shaoyun smiled faintly, but that smile concealed so much heartache.

Jiang Qingqing touched Han Shaoyun's rough face and asked earnestly, "Shaoyun, now that you're back, can you stay? Let's witness the birth of our child together, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Han Shaoyun fell silent, unsure how to answer the question.

"Shaoyun, are you still leaving?"

Han Shaoyun slowly clenched his fist under the hospital bed, looking at his wife's belly, unable to speak for a long time.

Jiang Qingqing's eyes dimmed slightly. "Shaoyun, your wife is very selfish and may not care about national affairs. What I want is a happy family."

"Perhaps it was after being captured and taken to the Church of the Ancient Gods that I came to understand some things and lost the courage I once had to face death."

"I am a mother, and I want to see my child grow up healthy and strong..."

Jiang Qingqing gripped the bed sheet tightly, then slowly withdrew her hand. "Shaoyun, in the past six months, I haven't complained to you once. I just want you to come home alive."

"I won't stop you from doing whatever you want, nor will I be an obstacle to you."

"But can you satisfy this one selfish thing of mine? You must come back alive!"

Tears welled in Han Shaoyun's eyes as he nodded heavily to Jiang Qingqing, "Okay, I... I promise you, I will definitely come home alive."

Jiang Qingqing's gaze softened as she held Han Shaoyun's hand. "Go, do what you want to do."

"Remember, I've been waiting for you to come home."
