[Son of Heaven] and [Commoner]

The groom and the bride's mother were both stunned by the child's words.

"What?" The best man was shocked.

The groom's sister muttered, "They're crazy, they're all crazy. What's real, anyway?"

The bride's father frowned deeply and said nothing.

Yin Ge was filled with uncertainty as she stared at the child. "Did you just say that you're the Son of Heaven?"

Tears blurred the child's eyes. "Yes, Sister. I'm the Son of Heaven."

At those words, everyone fell silent.

The groom and the bride's mother, who had been fighting over the identity of the Son of Heaven, instantly became the center of attention.

"Liar!" The groom flew into a rage. "You little brat must have colluded with that bitch to frame me!"

"I'm the Son of Heaven! I'm the Son of Heaven!"

The groom was extremely agitated, but the bride's mother showed no fear whatsoever. Her calmness was almost unnatural.

On closer inspection, she even seemed relieved.

That unusual reaction immediately caught Yin Ge's attention.

Yin Ge directly asked the bride's mother, "You aren't the Son of Heaven?"

Everyone's attention was drawn by those words, and they turned to look at the bride's mother.

The bride's mother pursed her lips and said something astonishing. "I really am not the Son of Heaven."

After saying that, she let out a breath and even patted her chest.

Seeing this, Yin Ge and the best man exchanged a glance. Both saw shock and confusion in the other's eyes.

"I knew it, I knew it!" The groom sounded as though he had finally been vindicated. "You finally admitted it! You're not the Son of Heaven at all—you're the Killer!"

The bride's mother did not even look at the groom. Instead, she pointed at the child. "He's the Son of Heaven."

In an instant, the smile vanished from the groom's face. "At a time like this, you're still refusing to admit it? If he's the Son of Heaven, then what am I?"

"You're obviously the Killer!" the bride's mother said without hesitation.

"Heh." The groom sneered. "Do you really think anyone will still believe your nonsense? If you aren't the Killer, why did you suddenly try to steal my Son of Heaven Godhead?"

"Now that you can't keep pretending, you're still trying to slander me?"

Everyone looked at the bride's mother with suspicion in their eyes.

Noticing this, the bride's mother hurriedly explained, "I said I was the Son of Heaven because the groom accused me, and no one stepped forward to prove my innocence. I had no choice but to do that."

"Now that the real Son of Heaven has stepped forward, the groom's lie has collapsed on its own. That's why I admitted that I'm not the Son of Heaven."

That explanation was not enough to account for her earlier behavior.

The best man asked, "Then how did you determine that the groom is the Killer and the child is the Son of Heaven?"

"Yeah, yeah. How did you know?" the groom's sister asked.

"Of course I know!" The bride's mother glared at Yin Ge before continuing. "Because I possess the Commoner Divinity. If the Son of Heaven used Discernment on me, he would definitely know that I have a Godhead and that I'm a good person!"

"The groom kept claiming that he used Discernment on me, yet he kept saying I was the Killer. How could he possibly be the Son of Heaven?"

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded once more.

"W-What? What kind of Godhead is Commoner?" The groom's sister's eyes widened in shock.

The bride's father was also growing impatient. "Damn it, what the hell is all this? I really can't tell anymore."

Because the groom and the bride's mother had been arguing over who possessed the [Son of Heaven] Godhead, no one had checked the other Godheads yet.

So they had not seen the other Godheads written on the slips of paper and did not know what the [Commoner] Godhead was.

Yin Ge immediately stepped forward and looked at the bride's mother. "Wait. You said you're a Commoner. Then do you know what laws the Commoner has?"

"Of course I do." The bride's mother sounded completely confident. "The Commoner's law is Shattering Jade. It can perish together with one person."

Yin Ge's heart skipped a beat. That matched the Commoner Law written on the paper.

In other words, the bride's mother was very likely the Commoner.

The best man understood that as well, so he immediately looked at the groom. "There really is a Commoner Godhead. What do you have to say?"

The groom's gaze darted away, and he stammered, "S-Say what? That bitch is lying!"

Although he was still being stubborn, anyone with eyes could tell that his voice no longer carried the certainty it had before. It was even trembling slightly.

The best man could not help asking, "You said you used Discernment on the bride's mother and determined that she had no Godhead and was the Killer, right?"

"Right." The groom lifted his chin stubbornly.

The groom's account contradicted the bride's mother's.

The best man turned to the child and asked a crucial question. "Kid, you said you're the Son of Heaven. Then who did you use Discernment on?"

Yin Ge already had a guess in her heart. She felt there was a high chance the child would say he had used Discernment on her.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the child raised a hand and pointed at Yin Ge. "I used Discernment on this sister. She has a Godhead. She's a good person."

Hearing this, the others all fell into thought, but Yin Ge showed no surprise.

She had long noticed that the child had deliberately been following her. Later, she had even subtly moved around and changed positions several times to test him.

The child had indeed kept following her closely.

More importantly, before that, she had barely interacted with the child at all.

By normal logic, the child had spent the most time with the bride's mother and should have instinctively followed her rather than Yin Ge.

Therefore, Yin Ge suspected that the child had been following her because he had used some sort of law on her—or because he could confirm that she was a good person rather than the Killer.

Combined with the child's repeated attempts to speak with her, she suspected that he was very likely the Son of Heaven Godhead and had used Discernment to determine her identity.

However, at the time, the groom and the bride's mother had been at each other's throats and repeatedly interrupted the child. Everything had been too chaotic, so Yin Ge had suppressed her doubts.

But now, as the bride's mother acknowledged the Commoner Godhead, everything seemed to become clearer.

Then he... Yin Ge looked at the groom, her eyes filled with suspicion.

Judging from the clues gathered from the incident and everyone's arguments over the Son of Heaven Godhead...

The groom was indeed highly suspicious.

With that in mind, Yin Ge looked at everyone and asked, "Is anyone else the Commoner Godhead? It's not too late to step forward now."

No one stepped forward.

That meant there was a strong possibility that the bride's mother possessed the Commoner Godhead.

Though it was not absolute, judging from the circumstances, the bride's mother truly seemed more like a good person than the groom.

Yin Ge looked at the groom.

Soon, the others caught on as well, and they all stared at him.

The groom gritted his teeth. "Why are you all looking at me? That bitch and the child have colluded to frame me! I'm not the Killer—they are!"

The best man could not help saying to the groom, "Did you forget the law of the Commoner Godhead?"

"If the Commoner dies, Shattering Jade will inevitably activate."

"In other words, if the bride's mother dies, she will most likely use Shattering Jade on you. You'll still die then."

"Even if we identify her, you won't escape death if she dies."

The bride's mother immediately nodded, agreeing with the best man.

"Are you really the Son of Heaven?" the best man asked again.

By then, cold sweat had already appeared on the groom's forehead, though he had been so steadfast before.

He swallowed and spoke with difficulty. "I'm the Son of Heaven. I really am the Son of Heaven."

The bride's father was deeply confused. "You say you're the Son of Heaven, and the bride's mother says she's the Commoner. Then why did you say that you used Discernment on her and found that she had no Godhead?"

The groom glanced at the bride's mother. She was looking at him with mockery, her chin tilted up at him. He clenched his fists tightly, then helplessly loosened them.

"N-No, it wasn't like that..." he said slowly.

But before he could finish, his eyes widened as though he had seen something horrifying. He stood frozen in place.

What was going on?

Yin Ge frowned, but she quickly noticed something was wrong.

It was not just the groom. Everyone else was staring behind her in terror as well.

The bride's mother suddenly screamed, then abruptly fell silent. Her mouth remained wide open in the posture of a scream, while her body seemed to have been frozen...

At the same time, a gust of cold wind swept through the room.

Yin Ge shuddered as if she had been frozen stiff, unable to move.

The next moment, a familiar dripping sound came from behind her out of nowhere.

"Drip!"

"Drip!"

"Drip!"

Yin Ge's pupils constricted, and every hair on her body stood on end.

The bride had come!?

Yin Ge instinctively wanted to run, but only then did she realize that her body seemed welded in place. Aside from her arms, she could not move at all.

Even worse, the bride behind her seemed to have started walking.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Footsteps and dripping water mingled together as they moved from behind Yin Ge to the center of the living room.

The blood-drenched bride appeared before everyone. Then she stopped, opened her blood-filled maw, and roared, "Who!?"
