I Saw It... The Deities Have Been Corrupted

"So that I could leave His divine kingdom, so that I could truly be resurrected..."

Su Yang sat on the ground, muttering to himself. He understood now. He understood everything.

So that was how it was!

In the original spacetime, Su Yang had long since died during a Divine Gift at the Soul-Reaping Bureau.

And to resurrect him, the God of Fate and Reason had created another world based on reality.

So Su Yang, as he was now, could not even be considered truly alive, because he could only live within the God of Fate and Reason's divine kingdom!

To truly resurrect him, to let him enjoy the prosperity of the outside world rather than remain confined to a divine kingdom, the God of Fate and Reason had no choice but to merge His divine kingdom with true reality!

And it was precisely because His divine kingdom had merged with reality that those strange phenomena existed!

For instance, Su Yang had seen another Su Yang's corpse beneath gravestone number 23 here.

And Old Wang had discovered that there were actually two Zhao Shengshens, both bearing the Anchors he had planted.

Su Yang raised his head in a daze. There was still confusion in his eyes as he looked at Heng Hong.

"But how did you know?"

"As a demigod of the Soul-Reaping Bureau, shouldn't you believe in the Human Race Seven Gods? Why do you know what another Ancient God has done?"

The blind Heng Hong sensed the confusion in Su Yang's words.

The next moment, he smiled, his smile full of endless irony.

"Who told you that people from the Soul-Reaping Bureau had to believe in the Human Race Seven Gods?"

"The reason I know all this is that I made an agreement with the God of Fate and Reason!"

"On the day you died, I received an oracle from the God of Fate and Reason."

"He told me to clean up your identity so that, after reality and His divine kingdom merged, you could continue living as Su Yang."

At this, Heng Hong's expression turned very strange.

On his face, covered by a thin strip of black cloth, it was impossible to tell whether he felt envy or jealousy.

"Su Yang, you should count yourself incredibly fortunate."

"Not only did He destroy His own divine kingdom to resurrect you, He also used His divine power to erase your death from the memories of everyone in the real world..."

"All of this was so that, after His divine kingdom merged with reality, you could truly gain a new life!"

"But this will consume nearly all the divine power of an Ancient God who has only just awakened!"

"And do you know what happens when a deity's divine kingdom merges with reality?"

Before Su Yang could speak, Heng Hong continued on his own.

"It won't just destroy His divine kingdom! His own divine power will be exhausted, and He will fall into an endless slumber once more."

He will fall into an endless slumber once more?

Su Yang's mind reeled with endless shock!

What had he, Su Yang, done to deserve such favor from a deity?

Why would the God of Fate and Reason do this?

Who is He, really?

He looked at the withered, Two-Branch Blue Enchantresses in the grave.

Suddenly, a lovely figure appeared in Su Yang's mind.

Her?!

The God of Fate and Reason is Ren Yexue?

If it's Ren Yexue, then everything makes sense!

Why Ren Yexue had known that a demigod of the Soul-Reaping Bureau would be waiting for Su Yang at his home.

Why Ren Yexue had so often spoken the word "fate."

Why Ren Yexue had said those things to Su Yang on the terrace.

Because the God of Fate and Reason was Ren Yexue, and everything she had done was to resurrect Su Yang!

The moment Su Yang saw Grandma's notebook, on the day Ren Yexue took sick leave, Ren Yexue had already merged her divine kingdom with reality!

Su Yang abruptly sat up from the ground. He had to find Ren Yexue!

Just then, a fanatical look appeared on Heng Hong's face. He approached Su Yang step by step, a radiance appearing in his hand.

"Come! Su Yang! Don't let His expectations of you go to waste!"

"He resurrected you because He wanted to know what you saw during the Divine Gift!"

"Come! Come! Let me awaken your sealed memories!"

Seeing Heng Hong approach, Su Yang instinctively tried to retreat.

But his body could not move at all, and he could not utter a single word! Just as before in his bedroom!

Faced with a demigod, Su Yang felt a deep sense of helplessness. He could not stir up even the slightest ripple before a demigod!

Even if Heng Hong was a demigod of the sixth sequence who had severed his own divinity, he was still not someone the current Su Yang could contend with.

At last, Heng Hong, his face alight with fanaticism, walked up to Su Yang.

His finger, shining with endless radiance in the night, touched Su Yang's forehead.

A torrent of information welled up in Su Yang's mind. It was his sealed memories!

Su Yang saw his experiences over those two years.

He saw himself drinking the bloodstains on the Dead Man's Book countless times over those two years.

He saw himself fighting again and again against Sequence Ability users from the Fierce Ghosts and Blood Village over those two years!

He saw the cheerful smiles and laughter as he and Ren Yexue played around together, time and again.

He saw himself repeatedly tapping Ren Yexue on the head in exasperation when she failed to understand the problems he was explaining to her.

He saw Ren Yexue give him a blue rose on a verdant stretch of grass beneath a brilliant starry sky.

Endless memories flooded Su Yang's mind, and his eyes gradually grew moist.

So, he and Ren Yexue had been through so much together...

The scene shifted, and Su Yang saw the moment he became a Sword Envoy. He went to the Soul-Reaping Bureau's Headquarters to receive the Divine Gift of the Human Race Seven Gods.

It was a vast expanse of white.

Within that white space was a mass of rotting flesh covered in filthy green hair.

Su Yang murmured to himself, "During the Divine Gift, I saw... I saw a deity..."

The fanaticism on Heng Hong's face grew even stronger, nearly reaching the point of madness.

"Su Yang, what did you see? What happened to the deity? Speak!"

Bulging veins stood out on his gaunt face, his terrifying visage almost pressed against Su Yang's!

"I saw a mass of rotting flesh. The Soul-Reaping Bureau's deities have already been corrupted..."

The moment Su Yang said this, Heng Hong abruptly withdrew the finger he had placed between Su Yang's brows.

He prostrated himself on the ground, like an addict who had found relief, his expression growing ever more terrifying and frenzied.

"Hahaha..."

"I knew it! I knew it! The deities have already been corrupted..."

"I've finally learned the source of the curse that has haunted my family for two hundred years! Severing my divinity was the right choice!"

"Wrong! It was all wrong! It's not just the last three sequences. All the sequences have already been corrupted, hahaha..."

The moment Heng Hong's finger left him, Su Yang lost all his strength and collapsed limply to the ground.

His mind was filled with jumbled, tattered fragments of memory. The countless fragments made it impossible for him to focus; his brain was like a crashed machine.

After dozens of minutes had passed, a tremendous explosion rang out from the distant city, finally bringing Su Yang back to his senses.

He struggled to his feet and stared blankly at the distant city, swallowed by flames and wails.

"What happened?"
