Qin Siyang closed his eyes and projected his consciousness onto the Path of Self-Verification.
The familiar road of Golden Light Bricks appeared before him again.
Looking back, he discovered primordial starshine hanging above the Path of Self-Verification!
And not just one! Six primordial starshine had appeared at once!!
Qin Siyang froze. "What... what's going on now?"
Suddenly, the "gift" mentioned in the third part of the [Apocalypse Fragment] came back to him.
"Could this be a gift from the [Apocalypse Fragment]?!"
At the sight, Qin Siyang could no longer keep his composure. He dropped to his knees on the Path of Self-Verification and kowtowed three times toward some unknown point in the distance, his forehead striking the ground with three loud thuds.
"Thank you, [Apocalypse Fragment]! Thank you, World-Destroying God, for granting me your blessing on my Path to Godhood-pah, as if I'm worthy of becoming a god! Thank you, World-Destroying God, for granting me your blessing on my Path of Self-Verification! I spoke without thinking earlier and blasphemed against the great [Apocalypse Fragment]. I was shallow and uncouth. Please don't hold it against me!!!"
Atheism or theism-it made no difference to Qin Siyang.
Whether gods existed had no bearing on his behavior.
His attitude toward gods was an upgraded version of calling anyone who fed him his mother: anyone who gave him gifts was a god!
At that moment, unnoticed by anyone, the phantom Giant Bird in the sky slowly opened its eyes again. It gazed at the Sigma District with a look of contempt, then slowly closed them.
Qin Siyang hurriedly stood up on the Path of Self-Verification, grabbed the six primordial starshine, and swallowed them, quickly refining them all.
Bolstered by the six primordial starshine, Qin Siyang's strength rapidly increased to nearly three times what it had
