She became a god

In the Temple of Love and Beauty, Yao Ji softly sang a lullaby to lull the chubby baby to sleep.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Zhou doesn't want to sleep tonight."

No! You must sleep!

"When will Xiao Zhou wake up next?"

"When the world ends, that is when you should wake up."

The chubby baby pouted and complained, "Why do I have to sleep for so long? When the world ends, won't I just die? It's better to play for a few more years and then die than to wake up and die right away."

Yao Ji poked the chubby baby's plump cheeks with her hand, and the baby laughed as soon as she poked him.

"Silly child, don't overthink it. Just know that I'm doing this for your own good."

The chubby baby didn't understand and wanted to keep pestering Yao Ji with questions, but Yao Ji smelled so good that she just wanted to sleep and couldn't think of anything else.

Seeing that Xiao Zhou had fallen into a deep sleep, Yao Ji thanked the figure in the shadows, "Xi Ji, thanks to your help, otherwise Xiao Zhou would have been a very troublesome child."

Dream Goddess Yuuki shook her head. "No need to be so polite. I was just wondering... whether what we're doing is good or bad for Xiaozhou?"

Yao Ji said calmly, "I don't want to think about whether doing this is good or bad for Xiao Zhou. I only know that I can't let Xiao Zhou die before me."

Yuhime sighed and ultimately remained silent.

As the goddess of dreams, she can glimpse fragments of the gods' beautiful dreams and nightmares.

She knew a bit about Yao Ji's thoughts and could also vaguely guess what the God King desired.

Although she had unintentionally stumbled upon these secrets, she understood that she could no longer remain in this Thirty-Three Heavens Beyond Heaven.

"Yaoji, I'm going to the vast world I created. What about you? Where do you plan to take Xiaozhou?"

Yao Ji said, "I want to go to the Great Thousand World created by Zhao Ji. There are many temples of love and beauty in that world."

"Alright, Zhaoji has profound magical powers and is also... she will definitely protect you and Xiaozhou."

In the Temple of Slaughter, the red-clad youth reflected in the water mirror had a resolute face, piercing eyes, and a tall, elegant figure that instantly pleased anyone who saw him.

Geji put away the water mirror and sighed softly, "If it weren't for the God King's interference, I would have already retired successfully! Now he's openly and secretly forcing me to pave the way for Wen Xichun. Does he really think that I, the God of Slaughter, have no blood in my veins?"

She had not fought against the gods for many years, because when she made a move, it was either death or serious injury.

Everyone said this was detrimental to peace in the divine realm and advised her to refrain from intervening.

But if the God-King were to press her so aggressively and she didn't intervene, wouldn't she be tarnishing the reputation of the Goddess of Slaughter?

After some calculations, Goji finally figured out how to set up the calamity.

"Yao Ji of love and beauty, Mei Ji of illusion, Li Ji of lightning... please lend me your strength."

Yao Ji, the goddess of love and beauty, took out a golden bell. "The gold dust in the bell will amplify the senses of living beings. In the deep sea of ​​emotions and desires, those who cannot save themselves will surely drown!"

The Enchantress of Illusion took out a fragrant pill. "Light this incense, and you will be lost in a dreamlike state, unaware of your surroundings. Just before your soul is about to be scattered, you will think you are dreaming and be unable to sense the danger that is quietly approaching."

Li Ji, the lightning demon, drew out a strand of causal thread. "Cause and effect are everywhere and at all times. Under the nourishment of calamity energy, any evil thoughts that arise will inevitably suffer the backlash of karma, with no way to escape."

.........

The savage Goki thanked the gods one by one. She opened the water mirror again, revealing a girl in coarse linen clothes with blood on her face, empty eyes, and bare feet struggling through the wind and snow.

"What a pitiful child, but the God-King has decreed that you should obediently accept your fate!"

In the human realm, in the Eastern Continent, in Nie City.

The girl's spine was almost crushed by the wind and snow. She didn't know where her home was or why she was there. She only remembered that her name was Wen Xichun.

Just now, she almost became a meal for a starving person.

Fortunately, killing seems to be an innate talent of hers.

Even such a thin twig became a deadly weapon in her hands.

After killing the starving man and taking his clothes and half a dry, hard cornbread, Wen Xichun turned and plunged into the wind and snow.

In this age of famine, humanity is more terrifying than natural disasters.

She didn't want to be a lamb, so she had no choice but to gamble on whether she could survive such a terrible snowy night.

The cold wind and snow seeped into her body, making Wen Xichun shiver. Her lips turned blue and her feet turned red, but she still did not give up and kept walking.

Snowflakes filled the sky, turning the land into a vast expanse of white. Wenxichun could only rely on the bright moon hanging high in the sky to find her way.

High moon, will you guide me to a way out?

About two hours later, Wen Xichun could no longer hold on and fell heavily to the ground.

After a cup of tea, a caravan of carriages passed by.

"Lord, there seems to be a little girl who has fainted up ahead."

Nie Yun frowned and said, "What a coincidence! Ignore her."

"Wait a minute..."

Nie Yun asked respectfully, "When did you wake up, my lord? Is it because this carriage is not comfortable enough?"

The woman waved her hand. "The carriage is very comfortable. I woke up a long time ago. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Meeting is fate. Please send someone to rescue that little girl."

Nie Yun flattered, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted; this little girl is truly blessed."

The woman said calmly, "Nie Yun, what you say sounds nice, but I would much rather hear you say that the famine in Nie City has been resolved."

Nie Yun looked ashamed and said, "This subordinate knows his mistake."

Upon learning that his lord had arrived in Dongzhou, Nie Yun immediately sent out invitations, intending to have his lord witness his achievements.

Unexpectedly, when the lord arrived, a famine broke out in Nie City.

Although only one-fifteenth of Nie City's territory was affected by famine, it still made Nie Yun feel extremely embarrassed.

Nie Yun couldn't help but hate those ignorant and lowly people who didn't know to report floods and droughts to the government and insisted on using young and beautiful girls as sacrifices.

As a result, many beautiful girls died, and the disaster became even more severe.

Thinking of the legends about the woman before him, Nie Yun said in a deep voice, "My lord, I will definitely amend the laws of Nie City to prohibit the people from using women as sacrifices."

As expected, the woman's expression softened considerably, and she even praised him, "You've put your heart into this. We need to hurry up with the disaster relief efforts. What do you plan to do about those people who treat women like lambs?"

Nie Yun said loudly, "Naturally, they will be severely punished without exception."

The number of women determines the birth rate. If it were men who died in this famine in Niecheng, it wouldn't matter, but with so many women dead, it will be difficult for the population to catch up in a short time.

Even if not out of mutual respect between men, but simply for the sake of Nie City's strength, Nie Yun could not tolerate the disaster victims tacitly regarding women as the easiest food to obtain.

"Since you have such intentions, why not quickly send your personal guards to stop them? The sooner you go, the more women you can save."

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I will obey."

"Ah."

After speaking, the woman lay back down on the large bed inside the carriage. The wide silk veil covered her eyebrows and eyes, but it could not hide her natural beauty and charm.
