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

Inside the dimly lit sewer, several white rats were squeaking and chattering.

stomping on...

The dull thuds of footsteps echoed through the sewers, and the rats, their eyes gleaming with a pinkish light, stared intently in that direction.

The unpleasant smell filled Lin Qiye's nostrils, and his eyes simultaneously turned to the eyes of the white rat.

In an instant, his consciousness was drawn into an illusion.

After a brief feeling of weightlessness, in a sunlit courtyard, a boy wearing an eagle mask sat in a chair and nodded at him.

Lin Qiye stepped forward and sat down opposite the boy.

An Qingyu interlaced her fingers, removed the eagle mask, and said slowly, "Then... let's begin the meeting."

“I know you want to do research on that corpse, but you can’t just steal it every time.”

Lin Qiye said helplessly, "And this illusion of yours, the Nanda snake demon's true form, which was originally intended to be transported out, was also stolen by you."

An Qingyu gave a shy smile and asked, "Are you angry?"

"……No."

An Qingyu's lips curled into a smile. "Let me correct you. How can you call it stealing when it's the researchers' work? It's called a deep exploration of the truth."

Lin Qiye: “…”

You can say whatever you want and it will make sense.

An Qingyu asked curiously, "Jiang Ye didn't come?"

“We searched separately, but you must return the body now; it’s crucial for the case.”

An Qingyu was slightly disappointed.

Lin Qiye asked in confusion, "You miss him a lot?"

An Qingyu nodded heavily, her eyes filled with excitement, "I want to... dissect him."

!

Lin Qiye's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in a deep voice, "No!"

“Okay.” An Qingyu shook her head in disappointment.

He then added, "How about this, I'll help you solve the case, and you give me half of the mysterious corpse, how about that?"

Lin Qiye frowned, thinking back to the incident with the Nanduo snake demon, and still quite acknowledged An Qingyu's reasoning ability.

"it is good."

An Qingyu smiled.

Wow!

The illusion shattered...

Lin Qiye's consciousness returned to his body, and the scene returned to the dimness of the sewer.

Da da da!

Footsteps came from the dark well shaft, and a frail-looking young man with black hair and glasses slowly walked out.

"Let's go, take me to see it in person," the artsy young man said with a smile.

Lin Qiye nodded and led An Qingyu toward the sewer exit.

"and many more."

Just as An Qingyu stepped out of the sewer, a rat suddenly darted out from under his feet, and he called out to Lin Qiye.

"what happened?"

An Qingyu pushed up her glasses. "It seems the case is nearing its end."

The rat that had just been sent out transmitted the image of Wen Qimo and the tavern owner into his mind.

They even brought it back...

An Qingyu looked at the tiny, mysterious silk in her hand and a smile appeared on her lips.

Lin Qiye looked puzzled, "What..."

Jingle Bell--

Before he could ask, the phone in his pocket rang.

Hearing the captain recount the tavern owner's death, Lin Qiye felt a sense of unease.

The tavern owner had already booked a plane ticket, so why did he still come out of the airport?

This is obviously inconsistent with common sense.

"Captain, this case is too strange."

“Yes, it is quite strange. I heard Qi Mo say that the tavern owner wants to resurrect a mysterious person named [Belkerland].

"Mysterious from abroad?" Lin Qiye was taken aback when he heard this Western name.

“That’s right, so this is beyond our capabilities. I’ve already applied to contact the Phoenix Squad, which specializes in handling mysterious overseas cases. We don’t need to worry about this anymore.”

Chen Muye's voice came through the phone.

After thinking about it, Lin Qiye had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The phone hangs up.

He looked at An Qingyu helplessly, "It seems you won't be able to get the mysterious corpse."

An Qingyu smiled and shook her head, "This time it wasn't a complete loss; the next phase of research has a direction."

His eyes gleamed with a grayish-white light, and the only correct answer was analyzing the strange silk threads in his palm.

After a while, the gray-white light in An Qingyu's eyes disappeared, and she put away the strange silk.

"Thank you all this time. I owe you another favor."

Lin Qiye was speechless. "Be more restrained in the future, or I won't protect you."

"So you'll expose me?"

"Don't mess with my childhood friend, otherwise we can talk."

An Qingyu nodded, but there was a hint of regret in her eyes.

Squeak!

The sound of insect wings vibrating could be heard in the air.

Lin Qiye immediately activated the dynamic perception of the [Mortal Divine Realm], and a worm radiating powerful spiritual energy was flying towards him.

His expression instantly turned serious; this fluctuation of spiritual power had already surpassed the 'Chuan' realm.

That is... the Sea Realm!

Could this be the mysterious overseas location [Belkerland] that the captain mentioned?

Swish!

The black box on Lin Qiye's back trembled, and a Star Blade was drawn from its sheath. He turned to look in the direction from which the insect had flown.

An Qingyu, standing behind him, was startled as a frost sword floated beside him.

"What's wrong, Nanaya?"

"It seems our luck isn't so good; that mysterious foreign creature is heading our way," Lin Qiye replied.

"How strong?"

"Sea Realm!"

An Qingyu raised an eyebrow, her eyes showing no fear, but instead a smile appeared on her lips.

They seemed quite excited about this mysterious appearance.

Lin Qiye was speechless upon noticing An Qingyu's expression.

Brother, we're two Pool Realm cultivators facing the Sea Realm, and you can still laugh?

Squeak!

The sound of insect wings vibrating in the air grew closer and closer.

A worm shimmering with golden light came into their field of vision.

Both drew their longswords and ice swords simultaneously; despite the absolute difference in their strength, their thoughts were surprisingly aligned.

They all wanted to catch the Sea Entrance Bugs off guard.

Belkland saw the flying ice sword and longsword and couldn't immediately tell who was attacking.

The master said that he was only able to survive because he was killed by that person named Lin Qiye.

Its body radiated golden light, forming a faint protective light curtain.

Ding Ding!

The longsword and ice sword were instantly repelled when they came into contact with the golden light barrier.

The ice sword hovered again beside An Qingyu, while Lin Qiye was knocked back several steps, his palms feeling numb.

Both of them frowned.

Belkland's small eyes swept over the two of them, then fixed on Lin Qiye, as if he had seen a lifeline.

“Seven Nights, you know each other, but why do I feel like there’s a longing in its eyes?” An Qingyu said, using the only correct answer.

Lin Qiye shook his head. Although he had also sensed the insect's gaze, this was truly their first meeting.

And... now is not the time to talk about this.

If the mysterious Haijing is interested in me, that's not a good thing.

"Seven Nights, watch out! It's flying towards you."

Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed as he drew a summoning array.

The sea is mysterious? Sorry, I have a pet from the sea.

Snapped!

Just as the summoning circle was about to complete, the insect that had flown towards him suddenly fell to the ground.

Lin Qiye paused in his drawing motions and looked down at the golden insects radiating light on the ground.

The insect bent its hind legs and knelt on the ground, its forelegs clasped together, as if it were kneeling in prayer.

Lin Qiye and An Qingyu were stunned by the sudden turn of events.

"This is……"

"Lin Qiye, please kill me! I don't want to live anymore!" Belkland roared.

Lin Qiye: ???

An Qingyu: ???
