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

Fog over the Mozambique Channel.

On the sea surface, a giant turtle, resembling an island, slowly sank to the bottom, instantly turning the once calm sea into a turbulent sea.

Not far away, on a cruise ship made up of countless pixels, the three commemorative figures, laden with their loot, watched the giant tortoise disappear.

"Guild Master, the artifacts have been inventoried. There are a total of twenty-four main god-level artifacts and one hundred and fifty pseudo-artifacts..."

Upon hearing this report, Ji Nian frowned. "Where is the Supreme Artifact?"

The golden-haired knight turned to look at Lin Qiye, who was lying on the throne, and said, "He took away the two supreme artifacts."

Ji Nian walked to the sleeping Lin Qiye's side and looked at An Qingyu beside him, "When will he wake up?"

"His body is in a state of extreme fatigue, which will last for about half a month."

Ji Nian frowned. "Then you can come back to Utopia with me first."

She wanted to ask Lin Qiye about the Five Laws God at the Gods' Mental Hospital after he woke up.

An Qingyu glanced at Shen Qingzhu and Jiang Er, and the two shook their heads.

"No, we need to go back and report the situation."

“Alright.” Ji Nian took the divided artifacts from the knight. “Then you can give these artifacts to Zuo Qing while you’re at it.”

"The Great Xia Dynasty needs these things now."

An Qingyu took it and nodded with a smile.

Just as Jinian was about to leave, she suddenly heard a crackling sound of electricity coming from her pocket.

Ok?

She took out her pixelated phone from her pocket, looked at the flashing red light on it, and her expression gradually became serious.

"Hey."

"In remembrance, where are you, [Nightfall]?"

"How did you know?" Ji Nian asked, somewhat surprised.

After all, the meeting between Shangxie Society and Lin Qiye was purely coincidental, and it was all shrouded in mystery. How could Zuo Qing, who was in Daxia, possibly know about it?

Could it be that Zuo Qing has tampered with my cruise ship? Installed hidden cameras, trying to spy on me...?

"As instructed by the Celestial Venerable, give the phone to Lin Qiye; I have a mission for him," Zuo Qing's voice came through.

Ji Nian glanced at the sleeping Lin Qiye and said, "Lin Qiye has fallen into a deep sleep and will not wake up for at least half a month. He can't answer the phone right now. Tell me what's wrong."

"Sleeping? What's going on?"

Ji Nian recounted the whole story to Zuo Qing.

A long silence fell over the other end of the phone.

Great Xia, the headquarters of the Night Watchmen of Shangjing.

After listening to Ji Nian's account, Zuo Qing wore an extremely strange expression.

Shen Qingzhu became a god possessing two laws, Lin Qiye was instantly killed by the possessed Supreme God Ra, and brought back more than a hundred divine artifacts from the [King's Treasury]...

The more I listen, the weirder it sounds!

"You're not kidding, are you?" Zuo Qing said into the pixelated phone.

"If you don't believe me, fine. The artifact will be sent back to Great Xia in a few days, and you'll see then."

Zuo Qing swallowed hard, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The Celestial Venerable instructed them to follow the Seraphim to find the Ark of the Covenant, but now, even though the Nightfall organization has only been established for a few years, some members have become gods.

This Lin Qiye is even more outrageous. What kind of thing possessed him to kill the Sun God Ra?

That is the supreme god!

Zuo Qing hissed, "This is too outrageous!"

Even these top-tier human beings can't do it, let alone other special teams.

But in the darkness of night, Shen Qingzhu, whose talent wasn't particularly strong, became a god!?

"Hey, hey... didn't you have a mission to complete? If you don't tell me, I'm hanging up."

Zuo Qing, still reeling from the shock, was startled by Ji Nian's voice. After calming herself down, she slowly spoke.

"Take Nightfall to Utopia for half a month to recuperate, until Lin Qiye wakes up."

"The Shangxie Society will cooperate with [Nightfall] to enter Asgard..."

After briefly explaining the plan, Zuo Qing slowly put down the pixelated phone only after hearing the phone hang up.

He sat motionless in his office chair, pondering the words of commemoration he had just heard, still filled with utter astonishment and doubt.

Is this true or false?

dong dong dong.

As I was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.

Zuo Qing looked up at the sound and Han Shaoyun, dressed in a white robe, slowly appeared in his field of vision.

"Han Shaoyun." He frowned slightly. "Weren't you completing your deal with the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations? Why are you back?"

Han Shaoyun strode in, looked at Zuo Qing, and said, "It's done, Commander Zuo. Can you take me to Jiuhua Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing, who was about to stand up, trembled.

He looked into Han Shaoyun's eyes with surprise and doubt, "You...you really found it."

"Yes." Han Shaoyun nodded emphatically.

Zuo Qing's pupils trembled, her palms clenched, and she walked up to Han Shaoyun.

"follow me."

An hour later, Han Shaoyun climbed Mount Jiuhua again.

A gentle breeze from the mountaintop ruffled his robes, carrying with it the scent of incense from the temple.

Han Shaoyun raised his head slightly, looking at the temple in front of him with a complex expression.

As a young man, he was filled with patriotic fervor to protect his home and country. Later, he was controlled by the Church of the Ancient Gods and lamented his own insignificance, unable to protect those he wanted to protect.

But starting over would mean bearing the stigma of being a traitor.

He kept proving himself, disregarding his pregnant wife to protect the Great Xia... Believe me, Ye Fan, he risked his life to reunite with his family...

Now that he has arrived here, facing all that has happened in the past, Han Shaoyun smiled faintly.

He looked at the Buddha statues inside the temple, and all the emotions in his heart were released at that moment.

He slowly raised his palm, and a ball of light wrapped in emerald green divine power floated above his palm.

Han Shaoyun took a step and walked into the temple.

Zuo Qing, who was standing behind him, stared at the figure's back, put his legs together, and slowly gave a military salute.

Inside the temple, Jin Chanzi, dressed in a golden kasaya and holding a staff, clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Han Shaoyun.

“Benefactor, all things are suffering, only self-salvation can save you.”

Han Shaoyun bowed to Jin Chanzi, and the ball of emerald light in his hand slowly rose.

Jin Chanzi stared at the emerald green ball of light, his eyes widening in surprise.

Within that boundless life force and divine power lies an incredibly strange technique for bringing back the soul.

Ordinary methods of reviving the soul are completely ineffective against someone whose soul has been scattered.

But this soul-returning technique can actually recall scattered souls from the vast world and reassemble them into complete souls.

Such methods... even the entire Heavenly Court doesn't have them.

The senior's abilities are truly beyond our reach!

Jin Chanzi was amazed.

The emerald green light, like blooming flowers, enveloped the eternal divine power that transformed into countless emerald green specks of light, dancing within the temple.

Abundant vitality nourished the seated Buddha statue of Ye Fan, merging into the statue in that instant.

The golden light on the surface began to dim, slowly outlining a fleshy body.

Just then, the enveloping eerie light scattered, forming a vortex of light.

Ye Fan's shattered soul fragments are gradually merging into the vortex.

A complete and transparent soul is gradually emerging in mid-air.

In no time, Ye Fan's complete soul was reconstructed and, under the Soul Return Technique, was guided into his body, which had been restored by the power of immortality.

Han Shaoyun stared at all of this, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Commander Ye, I, Han Shaoyun, have not failed your kindness in recognizing my talent."
