“Our biggest fault was trusting you, this villain!” Hong Meng’s eyes showed that bone-deep hatred once more, as he stared at Godfiend opposite him, who was almost shrinking below the table. “We used all we had to help stabilize your plane, while ours returned to complete nothingness. And he took that opportunity to rob our original source the purple gas, and to banish us to the outer realm. Shouldn’t we revenge such deep grievances?”
His voice grew deeper as he spoke. His heart was full of rage and sorrow for being powerless against the collapse of homeland. It was like he was making his final laments. His whole body was so tense that it seemed like it was going to break in the next moment.
For a time, everyone around the table were silent. Even Lonemoon who had always been eloquent didn’t know how to speak.
They had never imagined the truth to be as such. This plane was actually built with their help, and it actually indirectly led to their own world’s collapse. Anyone would probably be unable to accept the reality of their circumstances. He suddenly understood those complex emotions when those men looked at them earlier on.
That hatred was probably not towards them, but towards Godfiend, this world, and even themselves for not discovering the problems with their own plane in time.
One had to say that carrying such a past, they were very strong to even not go mad.
And Godfiend was also beyond his expectation…
All three turned together to look at the person beside them.
Godfiend’s look deepened. He gave Hong Meng opposite him a look and only started to speak after a long while, “Hong Meng, what happened then was not like you think…”
“Ho, you’re still arguing even now!” Hong Meng’s eyes grew even redder. Doubtlessly, should not Shen Ying be present, he would have long rushed over to destroy Godfiend. “Who robbed our original source the purple gas? Who banished us to the outer realm forever? And who created the divine world just use the demonic Qi to lock us inside, unable to reincarnate forever?”
“I…” Godfiend’s eyes were full of guilt. He looked like he wanted to say something, but with a movement of lips, he eventually didn’t speak.
“We only resent the unfairness of the Great Dao! That the plane that such a villain like you belong to can actually find a Manager.” He took a deep breath and looked as though he was trying hard to suppress the rage in his heart.
In the next moment, his last strength seemed to be gone, and his whole body collapsed. Death Qi emerged vaguely from all over his body. He looked up at Shen Ying briefly, and after a long while he said, “Indeed, we wanted to kill you and bring the whole plane to destruction with you. Yet our abilities were inferior. Perhaps we should have disappeared long ago together with our own plane.”
“You really did all this.” Lonemoon turned to look at Godfiend in disbelief.
Godfiend’s expression changed and something went across his face. Only after a long while did he nod with a blank expression. “Yes.”
“You…” Lonemoon even wanted to give him a beating for the other party’s sake. Though he had long known that he was evil, he didn’t imagine that he would be SO evil. He not only kicked them to the curb after exploiting their usefulness, he even deprived them of their original power source and imprisoned them. Should he feel fortunate that in the past he merely kicked them back to their original planes without killing them directly?
“I’m the God of Creation. For the good of the plane, all methods are worth it.” He spoke word by word, as though he had not a single bit of regret.
Lonemoon widened his eyes. He had seen shameless people, but not one so shameless.
“Without what happened then, there would be no Three Realms now.” He stood up slowly, and his original kind expression changed to one of bone-deep indifference. “Original source purple gas could help me stabilize this plane, why shouldn’t I use it?”
“Holy shit! You are indeed a f*cking scum!”
“Under the situation then, this was my only choice.” He glanced Hong Meng and the other opposite him. “My existence was to protect this world in the first place. As for matters of other planes, they have nothing to do with me.”
“You…” The two stood up in anger.
“Your plane has already returned to void, whatever else you do is futile! Why bother dragging this place down?”
“Godfiend!” Even Lonemoon couldn’t bear hearing it any longer.
Hong Meng sent a fist right towards him. Just as his fist was falling onto Godfiend’s face, Shen Ying suddenly grabbed his wrist, and turned to say in a lazy manner,
“How about, I return the plane to you on his behalf?”
Yi Qing: “…”
Lonemoon, “…”
Hong Meng, “…”
The Godfiend: “…”
What?
(⊙_⊙)
The place went completely silent in an instant.
In particular, Hong Meng widened his eyes, and those eyes which were originally dead showed a slight glimmer of light. He said with a pressed voice, as if he was afraid to disturb something, “What… do you mean?”
“The literal meaning.” Shen Ying scratched her head, her expression irritated. “Though it’s a bit troublesome to start a plane, haven’t you helped us before? We’d have to give a gift in return or something.” Sigh. She had to work right after eating, so tiring!
“You…” The other party’s eyes opened even wider, and a hint of joy appeared in them, before dying down again. “Don’t make jokes. Our plane has already returned to a void, can you possibly re-open the void?”
Before Shen Ying replied, the three behind her understood and started speaking first.
Lonemoon, “This she indeed can do!”
Yi Qing, “She absolutely can!”
Godfiend, “For sure!”
After which, Lonemoon went forward to pat his shoulder, and he gave him a look of unclear meaning.
Hong Meng, “…”
The fake Demon King: “…”
Can’t it be, managers are actually so impressive?
A while later…
“You… you can actually return us our plane.” The fake Demon King couldn’t help but went forward and asked with excitement.
Shen Ying was just about to nod.
“What use is it even if the plane can be rebuilt?” Hong Meng laughed bitterly, and the light which just ignited in his eyes died down again. His expression grew even more despairing. “The hundreds and thousands of beings in our world had long turned to void. What use is rebuilding a dead land?”
The fake Demon King’s expression darkened, and the hope in his eyes disappeared instantly as well.
“Not to ever return…”
“What if they can?” Shen Ying suddenly spoke.
“What?!” The two both stiffened.
Shen Ying actually pointed directly to the air, and starlight flashed around them. In a moment, the small world that was wrapped with a red cubic box flew to them. “You’ve been here for so long, didn’t you find anything wrong?”
Everyone were stunned. Even Lonemoon and Yi Qing looked toward her with doubt.
Shen Ying sighed, directly enlarged the light ball in front of her and pointed to a fragment in the middle. “That one belongs to you, right?”
The men looked carefully towards the direction she pointed. The whole small world had actually already broken into thousands of pieces, and the point that Shen Ying pointed towards seemed to be a lake. The lake water was crystal clear. In the middle of it, a big tree full of red strips grew on a small island. It looked familiar.
“Isn’t this that Fertility Tree!” Lonemoon was shocked. Remembering the past, he burst out, “What’s with such superstitious legends…”
Before he finished, Chef interrupted him directly, “Below the tree!”
