"Longevity Heaven, why are you still standing there in a daze?"
"Now that I have successfully ascended the divine throne, shouldn't you use this time while I remain in the real world to establish the Eternal Star Clan's position in the universe?"
"I..." Longevity Heaven immediately looked up toward the voice.
But that figure had long since been distorted by the power of rules, making it impossible to see clearly.
Forcing himself to look would only make his eyes feel as though they were being pierced by needles, as if his eyeballs would burst apart the next moment.
"Don't hesitate. Go..."
The crisp urging voice rang out again.
Compared to the previous sentence, however, it was noticeably less clear:
"Oh, right. Don't leave behind the corpses of the two God's Chosen Ones."
"If there are any promising members of the clan who can ascend the divine throne, let them absorb the remaining godheads and make use of them."
"...Alright." This time, Longevity Heaven did not remain silent. He simply nodded solemnly.
The once-fierce battlefield was now completely deserted.
Thus, Longevity Heaven encountered no obstruction as he gathered the corpses.
The first body he collected was Wushe's.
Longevity Heaven's gaze swept across the savage wounds covering the corpse, his expression perfectly natural.
It was as though everything had gone exactly as expected, without surprising him in the slightest.
But after he briefly examined the entire body with his mental power, that natural expression swiftly turned strange.
There was no other reason.
The divinity was gone.
The divinity that had once filled Wushe's body had vanished.
And it was not merely the divinity.
The authority and godhead had vanished as well.
Only the corpse remained.
It was as though what had been left before Longevity Heaven was nothing more than a coconut
