After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 37
Shi Xi, who was still unaware of the truth, was unwilling to give up and followed behind Xinghui.
“Alright, alright, I admit it. This grilled meat is specially hunted star beast from outside, and we made it into grilled meat just to let Lord God taste it. As for the last time, it was our fault for being confused and influenced by the genetic disease—”
Shi Xi’s voice was a bit dry.
Who would have thought that at that moment, Xi Ya’s method was for them to find the real god, and the little god would even find energy mines. The next step might be their star system’s turn, right?
Damn it, if they had known earlier, why did they come to rob the Z30 side like this? Oh, no, it should be called the God’s Star now. If they had known earlier, who would have come to rob the God’s Star?!
They even injured Xinghui, causing the demons of the Z72 to have faith in Xinghui, which allowed them to gradually alleviate the pain emanating from their bones, but their status in the God’s Star had plummeted, and they still hadn’t been incorporated into the star system.
Now they were like homeless beggars, desperately clinging to the slightly open door of the little god, eagerly begging Xinghui to let them in.
Every time Shi Xi thought about losing his position like this, he couldn’t help but beat his chest and stamp his feet.
But it’s okay, besides him, there are other demons from other star systems. Most of them have received the news and are still unaware, maintaining their theory that all gods are deceiving.
Very good, let them realize it later.
The later they realize it, the more time he will have to redeem his image in the eyes of Lord God!
Xinghui finally understood why this group of demons was overly enthusiastic.
He continued walking with the demons who came to report, somewhat surprised, and turned his head slightly.
The little tuft of soft curls trembled slightly, and a faint red mark still lingered on his fair cheek.
“Are you apologizing for what happened before?”
Shi Xi nodded repeatedly, still holding the steaming large plate, his voice a bit dry. He never looked so honest and obedient from childhood to adulthood.
The average height of the demons was taller than Xinghui, and the commanding officers standing behind him were very prominent among the demons they commanded. Shi Xi’s horns were two tall antelope horns, making him even taller. When Xinghui spoke to him, he nervously spread out his wings.
“May I ask, what else can we do for you?”
Yuanyuan, standing next to Xinghui, holding the bottle of neglected nutrient solution, was not in a good mood. Seeing Shi Xi spread out his wings for a moment caught Xinghui’s attention.
His face grew even darker, wanting to throw the nutrient solution at this guy’s wings. Grilled chicken wing flavor wings should make him uncomfortable for a while.
“It’s okay.”
Xinghui shook his head, also refraining from raising his hand to pat the other party as he looked at the large wingspan. He didn’t want to hurt the demon’s wings.
The tone was still serious.
“And I will protect you.”
Shi Xi was stunned, and the feathers behind him fluffed up.
Yuanyuan secretly threw the bottle of nutrient solution at Shi Xi’s wings. Although the other party couldn’t dodge it, unfortunately, this was a specially made nutrient solution for the god. The researchers in the laboratory were afraid that if the god accidentally dropped it, it would break into several pieces and hurt Xinghui’s hand. The bottle was very sturdy and rolled to the ground.
But Shi Xi’s eyes lit up, and he didn’t care about the bottle, dragging the plate and continuing to follow.
“You forgive us!? Then this grilled meat—”
This grilled meat affects the image of the god.
Xinghui slightly lowered his jaw.
“I won’t eat it.”
Shi Xi’s wings drooped again.
Yuanyuan grinned slightly.
Did they really think it was so easy to please the little god?
They finally arrived at the place where the starship dispatched by the god returned.
Lu Xuan’s team of five was waiting there.
The moment they saw Xinghui, they noticed him and immediately looked over. At that moment, their faith in the god became stronger, and for the first time, the demons who believed in the god felt the connection of faith. Since they came back, they had been in a daze.
The name of the main star changed, and they all had faith.
No wonder they always felt that the pain from their genetic disease had eased a lot when they returned. They thought they had just gotten used to the pain, but it turned out to be no illusion!
Standing next to the five people was a young boy who looked about ten years old.
There were two dangling antennae-like strands on his black hair, and his deep green eyes were wearing clothes that seemed to be made of twisted vines, which were a bit worn at the moment, and his little face was dusty.
Lu Xuan stood at attention and gave a standard military salute, and his stern face showed a hint of joy.
“Report! Lord God, Commander, we were ordered to go to the Reconstructing Star and successfully brought back the residents of the Reconstructing Star. This child is called Zu Cong. Please allow us to further explain the situation.”
Yuanyuan stood behind Xinghui, smiling gently and politely, but it was fake.
His dark red eyes stared at Lu Xuan, feeling regretful that he had only thought about completing the mission initially and hadn’t sent someone more astute.
You’ve already believed in the god, so why bring back someone vying for favor?
However, the little boy from Reconstructing Star named Zu Cong was quite bold. In the midst of being watched by several demons who were almost several times his size, he caught sight of Xinghui. His deep green eyes were full of resilience as he quickly walked up, wanting to grab Xinghui’s clothes.
Yuanyuan quickly stepped forward, blocking Zu Cong’s reaching hand.
After all, in Yuanyuan’s heart, Xinghui was like fragile porcelain. Who knew what traits this race had? Contacting them rashly might harm Xinghui.
As Xinghui’s first believer, Yuanyuan always remained vigilant against any potential problems around Xinghui. Yes, that was what he should do.
Zu Cong was stopped by Yuanyuan and realized his abruptness. Standing still, he looked up at Xinghui, who was much taller than him.
The young boy from Reconstructing Star was thin and small.
“Are you a god? Can you save us? We are willing to believe in you!”
Yuanyuan: Reminding me again of the stupid things I did in the past. Thanks for toughening me up.
During this time, Yuanyuan had become accustomed to protecting Xinghui, and he didn’t realize what was going on in the proud “first believer’s” head. Xinghui carefully observed Zu Cong.
In truth, there wasn’t much piety in his words, and Xinghui could sense that Zu Cong didn’t actually believe in him. However, from his tone and the way he tightly clenched his slightly trembling fingertips, there was a serious effort to hide fear, which made Xinghui feel a sense of familiarity. It was like his own past self, mustering courage to run away and then confront the demons. It wasn’t that he wasn’t afraid; it was just that he had a responsibility that prevented him from being afraid.
“What happened on Reconstructing Star?”
Xinghui turned to Lu Xuan.
“Reconstructing Star is located too remotely. There’s another sub-star system nearby, Carp Star, inhabited by the Carp Clan, who are said to be relatives of the Dragon Clan from the upper star system. Therefore, many resources are sent to Carp Star first. Consequently, Reconstructing Star is still living a primitive life. However, starting a few months ago, the severely affected star beasts began attacking the planet. With the already sparse population, the casualties were devastating. The number of star beasts is too great, forming a beast tide, led by a star beast that has completely lost control due to the genetic disease, with very aggressive and violent mental power.”
Lu Xuan glanced down at his clothes. Although they were much cleaner than those of the little Reconstructing Clan, they still looked like they had been rolled in mud compared to those of the surrounding demons.
Lu Xuan, who had a serious and single-minded personality, thought this way but was still puzzled as to why his fellow demons suddenly looked so well-dressed.
However, he quickly dismissed his doubts and continued speaking.
“Due to the large number of star beasts, we had to change our plans. We first hid the residents of Reconstructing Star in a safe place and brought Zu Cong back to report, while also seeking support.”
Reconstructing Star was still under continuous attack by star beasts, and the hidden residents were also at risk.
Zu Cong listened patiently on the side, but his deep green eyes involuntarily revealed his impatience and hope.
“There is one more thing to report. In fact, there are only about twenty or thirty children left on Reconstructing Star. Since we were on a small starship that departed at full capacity, for safety reasons, we could only bring back Zu Cong alone.”
So, whether to go or not, and whether this trip would be beneficial to them, the specific decision would still be up to Xinghui and Yuanyuan.
Reconstructing Star indeed offered new believers, but only a small portion of the population had survived.
“Only children?”
Xinghui was surprised.
“Yes, only children. When we asked about their parents’ whereabouts, they didn’t say. However, over the past few days, we’ve explored Reconstructing Star thoroughly and indeed haven’t found any other Reconstructing Clans.”
Xinghui turned his head to ponder.
Yuanyuan didn’t say a word, leaving all the decisions to Xinghui. In the moment of decision, the demons began to act.
They were always very efficient in execution, and soon the large airship was ready, undergoing routine maintenance and upkeep. The demons believed that Xinghui might need certain items, so they repeatedly loaded them onto the starship.
On the other side, Lu Xuan and his team of five had understood the situation and naturally would also go back on this trip. They hurried to tidy up and change their clothes one by one.
About half an hour later, everything was ready.
Yin Fan, carrying a medical kit, immediately noticed the red marks on Xinghui’s face as soon as she entered the room, indicating that she was prepared to accompany them on this trip.
Meanwhile, Shi Xi, who wanted to continue improving his favor with the god, was thrown into the command room by Yuanyuan.
Shi Xi entered the command room full of suspicion, only to meet countless familiar resentful gazes.
Xi Ya was sitting at the front, smiling and greeting warmly. “Here you are.”
Again, doing the grunt work?
Shi Xi: Dammit.
The starship quickly left Star God Star.
This time, with the fragments of the god and the belief of the demon clan, Xinghui became even more skilled at hiding the starship from the Abyss’s tracking.
The little god was still slender, but now he was wearing a specially tailored black military uniform made by the demon clan.
The golden cufflinks were Brilliant, the black soft hair was pressed down by the military cap, and a cloak of the same color was draped behind him, fastened with a ribbon, making the little god appear even taller and slimmer.
Just like a real little commander.
Although the demon clan had been wanting to create a special military uniform for their god for the past few days, everyone had been arguing over the style. Each design had demons who wanted to see Xinghui wear it. Although they could make them all, they argued over which one to make first.
It was Yuanyuan who first noticed that Xinghui’s skin would turn red from prolonged contact with the stiff material of their previous military uniforms.
Yuanyuan exclaimed in shock at how delicate Xinghui was and quickly had a set of military uniforms made from softer fabric.
When Xinghui finished hiding the starship and returned to his seat, Yuanyuan had already brought over a new flavor of nutrient solution. He held it with special seriousness and began drinking it obediently.
Yuanyuan stood in front of him, his dark red eyes watching every move of the little god, then suddenly spread his wings.
Xinghui raised an eyebrow, wondering what he was doing.
“Do you touch wings, my lord?” Yuanyuan grinned and offered his soft wingtips to Xinghui.
What’s with touching wings all of a sudden?
Was this guy sick again?
Xinghui declined the offer, but Yuanyuan’s eyes still held a smile.
“Wings are much better to touch than those ugly antennae, aren’t they?”
Xinghui: …
Xinghui narrowed his eyes.
The demon clan was bellicose and competitive, with little empathy, even among their own kind, let alone other races.
Xinghui was sensitive to certain emotional changes, such as disgust, and naturally sensed that Yuanyuan didn’t particularly like the Reconstructing Clan.
But to say that Zu Cong, that delicate young boy, had ugly antennae?
Was he biased?
Xinghui had gotten used to dealing with this guy, who always smiled insincerely, and no longer felt the tension he had when he first arrived, afraid of saying or doing something wrong.
The little god looked up.
He had to handle him carefully!
“You, crouch down.”
With that, Xinghui’s fingertips touched Yuanyuan’s soft wing feathers.
Yuanyuan half-squatted in front of Xinghui.
As he watched Xinghui’s still cold face, he reached out, and his equally cold fingertips suddenly grabbed onto the little demon’s horn.
The warm demon horn instantly cooled down.
But when Xinghui noticed his movement, he instinctively tightened his grip.
“Hiss—”
Demon horns were also very sensitive.
Really sensitive.
It wasn’t until the door behind them opened that Xinghui let go, and Yuanyuan looked up.
It was Yin Fan, with Lu Xuan and Zu Cong entering.
Zu Cong had changed into a new outfit.
Being too young, there were no military uniforms smaller than Xinghui’s size prepared on the airship. At the moment, he had rolled up the cuffs and trouser legs of his clothes and was still wearing his little grass shoes.
“My lord, boss, we just researched the pattern of the star beast tide attack. According to Zu Cong, it seems to be related to the leader of the star beasts.”
Zu Cong nodded.
“That star beast is huge, with wings spread out, probably about half the size of the jungle where we live. Whenever it becomes agitated, the star beast tide follows suit. If it leaves, those star beasts will gradually disperse. We usually survive by hiding in these gaps.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help scratching his head, and his two little antennae swayed with the movement.
“But earlier you said— reversing the genetic disease of the star beasts is very difficult, so I find it a bit strange. I don’t know if I can help you.”
Xinghui was taken aback.
Something that could clear the star beasts’ violent emotions—
Why did that sound so familiar?
“The god fragments?”
Xinghui turned to look at Yuanyuan.
“Do the star beasts have god fragments?”
“In that case, let’s not just snatch people and run. When the star beast tide comes, we’ll explore the truth behind the leader of the star beasts.”
Upon hearing about the god fragments, Yuanyuan was even more excited than Xinghui.
God fragments were great. With more god fragments, the little god wouldn’t need to gather so much faith anymore.
With just one, the outline was already visible. With a few more, could he regain his sight?
The screen was already showing the Reconstructing Star from a distance.
The speed of a large starship naturally didn’t compare to that of a small one.
It took Lu Xuan’s group several days to return and explore the entire planet, but now Xinghui could easily hide the large starship and come and go from the Abyss’s domain at will. From departure to now, it had only taken them half a day.
The starship found a safe landing spot and the personnel remained on standby as usual.
Lu Xuan and Zu Cong led the way to the location where they were hiding the more than twenty Reconstructing Clan children.
It was a gap between two mountains.
There were water sources and wild fruits nearby.
In the Reconstructing Star, which was mostly forested, such natural hiding spots were indeed rare.
Clearly, they weren’t the only ones eyeing this place.
Before they even got close to the gap, the sound of arguing could be heard, mixed with the cries of children.
Zu Cong’s face changed, and he hurried over, taking fast steps towards them, with Xinghui holding Yuanyuan beside him.
The little god had a deep understanding of his slow pace and had gotten used to calling Yuanyuan when they were in a hurry.
With a flick of his little antennae, Xinghui had already called him many times, so it didn’t matter this time.
“Follow along.”
Soon, they saw outside the gap, there were three to five tall figures, each holding a Reconstructing Clan child and throwing them out of the gap.
“What are you doing! This is the place we found! You should leave!” The voice of a child, tinged with tears.
It was a girl of about seven or eight, struggling to pull on the legs of one of the tall figures, still carrying two barely conscious children, trying to get him to put them down.
“So, these are the Carp Clan.”
Lu Xuan spoke beside Xinghui.
Zu Cong had already rushed over.
His legs were fast, his movements agile, and before the others could react, he had already pulled a child from their grasp.
The child was also a Reconstructing Clan child of about eight or nine years old, and the situation looked quite dire.
The several Carp Clan members were still sneering, taunting as they waved their fists at Zu Cong and the girl next to him who had rushed up.
“There’s only one place like this. Of course, it’s whoever is stronger who gets to stay here. We are the Carp Clan, very close to the Dragon Clan, you lower races dare to provoke us? Let me tell you, I’m letting you off lightly by throwing you out. If you anger me and get in our way, don’t blame me for laying hands on you. Now it’s survival, there’s no such thing as respecting the elderly or loving the young—”
Several children had already been thrown out.
These children were all thin and weak, with two thin antennae on their heads, their big black eyes full of despair, tears streaming down their faces, weakly holding small rocks and throwing them at the tall Carp Clan members.
“This is the place we found… Bad, bad guys…”
But before either side could finish their words, the Carp Clan member who had been talking big was suddenly kicked out, followed by being immediately suppressed by the approaching demon clan members.
“And Zhen!”
The other Carp Clan members hadn’t reacted yet, feeling only a blur in front of them, and the one who had just been speaking was nowhere to be seen.
With Xinghui still in Yuanyuan’s arms, Yuanyuan’s feet were slowly retracted. He first put down the little god in his arms, then turned his head, smiling as he stared at these Carp Clan people.
“What a coincidence, I don’t have the habit of respecting the elderly or loving the young, and I also have a bad habit of not tolerating others being more arrogant than me.”
Yuanyuan’s movements were too fast, and his dark red eyes squinted slightly. Although he was smiling, his oppressive presence was extremely strong, his demon horns towering, and his spiritual power unrestrained.
“Demon clan!”
The Carp Clan’s faces changed color, as they clearly knew what had happened back on the Tree Spirit Star with the communication to the Shining Star.
However, while the Carp Clan could play the role of bullies against these small Reconstructing Clan children, they were no match for the professional bullies of the demon clan.
After being taught a lesson by them, the Carp Clan members were still defiant.
“Haven’t you heard that the demon clan also believes in survival of the fittest? Coming to the Alliance area, and even helping these abandoned little brats, you are truly kind-hearted. In a little while, the Abyss will discover you, and then none of you will be able to escape!”
“We were not abandoned by our parents!”
The small Reconstructing Clan children, originally timid and cowardly, immediately retorted upon hearing this.
“Daddy and Mommy just went on a long journey, they’ll be back soon!”
The Carp Clan member who had just been kicked away by Yuanyuan, named He Zhen, sneered.
“You’ve been living alone for so long, you haven’t realized this fact yet?”
“And you demon clan, I advise you to let us go quickly! Otherwise, when the Abyss Crown arrives, you’ll be in trouble. How dare you impersonate gods and challenge the Abyss, and dare to intrude into the Abyss’s territory again.”
I don’t know what message was sent to them from the Shining Star, but they firmly believe that even if they are caught, the demon clan won’t dare to act recklessly, and as long as the Abyss discovers the traces of the demon clan, they will definitely come to punish them and save them.
Xinghui didn’t really care about this little incident on this trip, he was currently observing the traces in the sky.
Yin Fan was leading his people to continue treating the wounds of these little Reconstructing Clan members. It was clear that the Carp Clan had been here for a while, as many of the little Reconstructing Clan members were covered in blood.
Most of them were children aged seven or eight, with the oldest being Zu Cong, who looked to be about ten or so. He was currently standing guard next to two six or seven-year-old children, looking worried and nervous.
Once their wounds were treated, they would explain the situation to these little Reconstructing Clan members, let them rest on the starship first, and then when they found the leader of the star beasts here and observed to see if there were any traces of god fragments, they could prepare to return.
Everything was smoother than Xinghui had imagined.
It seemed that his luck had improved since leaving the Upper Star System.
But suddenly, he heard this sentence.
He turned his head.
“Impersonating gods?”
“Lord God, shall we—” A demon clan member couldn’t help but ask Xinghui in a low voice.
He made a gesture of cruelty, indicating that they should all be silenced.
But the Carp Clan member continued to speak recklessly.
“You claim to be gods, then why don’t you save us, and make all the genetic diseases of everyone here disappear? Let me tell you, the Abyss Crown will not allow you to impersonate gods so casually—”
But at this moment, Xinghui had already turned around.
With the brim of his military cap pressing down on his black hair, underneath were a pair of cold and sharp black eyes, slightly dimmed due to still not being able to see most things. However, they were particularly deep when one looked into them, and the cloak and Yuanyuan’s military coat swayed with his movements.
His slender fingers, with distinct joints, were holding the trigger of the gun.
‘Bang—’
The Carp Clan member fell from a height in an instant, landing heavily and dizzying them.
And the god calmly walked up to them, raising the gun.
Another shot rang out, closer this time, exploding like a bomb in the ears of the Carp Clan member, with a hint of blood in the air.
Xinghui’s expression remained unchanged, as the gun was once again pointed at his head, his eyelashes drooping, meeting their gaze.
“Is this kind of joke fun for you? Bullying children, is it amusing? I don’t protect you because we won’t trust each other, you won’t be my dependents, understand?”
The Carp Clan member opened his mouth wide, but for a moment he didn’t dare to speak again.
And Xinghui had already put away the gun, walking back to a distance according to the same path as before, continuing to look up at the traces of spiritual power in the sky.
He walked this way without any stones on the ground, walking steadily, with the majesty of a god, very good.
The only thing was that the power of the gun was a bit too strong.
Xinghui’s fingertips were hidden under the cloak, gently shaking, and the little antennae on his head also swayed with the movement of his fingertips.
The demon clan members were all wide-eyed, looking at their little god.
In fact, just now, the demon clan wanted to take action, and they had wanted to take action since they heard the first sentence.
But now Yuanyuan had just surveyed the surroundings, and the command was all in Xinghui’s hands. They were different from Yuanyuan, and without Xinghui’s signal, they didn’t dare to act recklessly, especially since the demon clan and Xinghui weren’t really familiar with each other.
There weren’t many people who knew the personality of the little god.
They couldn’t figure out how Xinghui would handle these guys.
Each one of them had made up their minds, with their guns loaded, ready to give the other party a good beating before they could finish their taunts.
The bully who bullied children was still babbling so much.
But before they could act, they saw Xinghui act decisively and swiftly.
“The demon clan always advocates for violence.
Every demon clan leader has risen to power through sheer strength.
This aesthetic is only slightly deviated from in Xinghui.
All demon clan members feel that Xinghui’s appearance is very much in line with their aesthetic.
And today, as Xinghui made his every move, it struck a chord with the demon clan.
It was at this moment that Yuanyuan, dressed in a thin white shirt, jumped down from the mountain.
The tall demon clan members glanced at their companions with some confusion, seeing their excited eyes shining brightly, all fixed on Xinghui.
Then they looked at the Carp Clan members sitting quietly on the ground.
What happened when he went up to investigate just now?
Xinghui had already put away the gun made of an unknown material, turning his head to look at Yuanyuan.
“I can see some traces of spiritual activity over here, indeed it is the star beast, and there are some strange powers mixed in. I haven’t seen the actual object yet, so I can’t confirm if it’s a god fragment, but even if it is, this god fragment is not very large.”
“I only saw the sky darken, coming from over there. Let’s take these children on board the starship first.”
Yuanyuan walked up to Xinghui, reaching out to tidy up his slightly messy coat and cloak.
Seeing that Xinghui’s face, although unchanged in color, had a slight blush, seeming excited, he couldn’t help but smile and playfully licked his canine teeth, asking, “What kind of exercise did you just do? Why are you so happy?”
“Shooting!”
Unexpectedly, the one who answered first was a demon clan member beside him.
“What?”
Yuanyuan was a bit puzzled as he turned his head.
The demon clan member, brimming with excitement, gestured.
“Just now, Lord God ‘biu’ shot them down in one go! Then ‘biu’ shot right next to their faces, and even pointed the gun at them, telling them to shut up!”
This was the first time they saw the god holding a gun.
Such a strong aura!
Xinghui:…
What’s going on?
What was initially an exciting event seemed to have turned into ‘biubiubiu’ in the mouths of these demon clan members?
It felt like something was not quite right.
Xinghui blinked in confusion.
But then he quickly remembered what they had started, the Star God and the Star System.
Xinghui’s heart settled again.
There shouldn’t be any major problems.
The main problem should be the poor descriptive ability of these demon clan members.
Yuanyuan smiled, reaching out to touch Xinghui’s hand.
“You were shooting? Did you take it from my pocket?”
Yuanyuan moved too fast.
By the time Xinghui reacted, the person had pinched his wrist twice and ran away.
Although Yuanyuan was a little regretful that he didn’t get to see the little god shoot, it was fine. He had fired two shots and his wrist wasn’t injured, proving that the materials they had tested could be used by Xinghui.
Xinghui’s spiritual power restrained genetic diseases, making him strong enough to contend with the Abyss, but when facing interstellar citizens, he was clearly in a protective position. Only in moments of danger would he have unexpected effects on certain people, but the restrictions on use were too great, and the closer they were to the Shining Star, the less effective they were on those people.
Now was the time to pull out the gun and give them a surprise.
“Lord God, Boss, everything is basically taken care of, and I’ve roughly explained the situation. Now let’s take them on board the starship.”
Yin Fan walked over.
It was at this moment.
Xinghui felt a wave of turbulence on the side of his face.
Yin Fan’s voice followed soon after.
“Boss, how come those dark clouds came so fast?”
And Xinghui, as if sensing something, suddenly turned his head, looking straight at the sky where a dark mass was advancing.
His tone was very certain.
“There is indeed a god fragment in there.”
Xinghui’s black curls were swept up by the wind.
“I feel its call.”
The roar echoed from far to near.
Xinghui was pulled into Yuanyuan’s arms by the one closest to him, Yuanyuan pressed him.
His chest vibrated as he calmly informed those around him.
“It’s that star beast, moving faster than we expected. Let’s move to a hidden spot first.”
