The name "Calamity Heaven God" seemed to carry a suffocating magic.
The wind in the mountain forest stopped, and a deathly silence settled over their surroundings.
Fu Yao and Zhou Li stared at Bai Ye without blinking, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"The... the Calamity Heaven God!!?"
"Mr. Bai, please stop joking. How could you possibly be the Calamity Heaven God? That's the supremely wicked evil god who nearly destroyed the world!" Fu Yao's eyes were full of stunned disbelief.
She gave a couple of dry laughs, finding the whole thing absurd. "Besides... besides, you don't look like an evil god."
In this age ruled by evil gods, people knew something about them, more or less. In their minds, evil gods were indescribable behemoths, beings beyond mortal comprehension.
How could there be a god like Mr. Bai?
And the most evil god of legend, the Calamity Heaven God, at that?
Even Zhou Li, currently Bai Ye's die-hard fan, thought he was joking.
Humans were creatures of logic, and the brain instinctively favored it. When the truth became so absurd that it bordered on a lie, the brain would subconsciously reject it.
"You must be joking, Mr. Bai. According to legend, the Calamity Heaven God was sealed away. Once that seal is broken, the world will inevitably be destroyed within ten days. The Hand of Fate, who made that prophecy, called it... the ten-day doomsday.
"You're a hero. How could you be an evil god who destroys the world?"
Bai Ye did not care in the slightest. A god had no need to prove himself to mortals, and he had long since grown accustomed to this.
He simply found these people fairly agreeable, and since they happened to ask, he had told them the truth.
There was no need to hide
