After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 39
“Marinated just right, making those avian star beasts crunchy one after another, like crispy snacks for the demon tribe.”
However, Yuanyuan still directed the other demon tribe members to bring back these unlucky guys, bringing water cannons along to give those marinated fellows a cold shower.
The little Weaver Tribe children were also brought onto the demon tribe’s starship.
They were tightly bound, with the carp tribe members who had been left behind glaring at them.
Apart from the initial punishment, it was as if these people had been completely ignored.
Finally, when Xinghui’s figure was about to disappear, one of the carp tribe members struggled in panic, as if just realizing the problem.
After Zu Cong’s words, all the carp tribe members seemed somewhat confused, especially when they looked at Xinghui.
It was nothing like they had imagined.
Whether it was Xinghui’s actions before or the miracle-like phenomenon he had just created by holding that translucent gem-like object, it was all different from what the carp tribe had understood.
The carp tribe had only received news from the Bright Star that the deity was Brilliant, but they had no idea that discussions about the two deities within the army had quietly spread to ordinary citizens’ homes after Ink Left Then Returned.
Although everyone’s faith was the same, and because of their faith, they especially supported the royal family of the Kler Tribe, everyone paid attention to the deities’ every move, naturally analyzing some things.
Previously, the Bright Star had kept the deities well hidden, only informing them that the deity was Brilliant. It wasn’t until recently that they suddenly informed them that the Alliance only recognized one golden-haired deity. This made some people within the Alliance feel strange.
But shortly after, the concept of twin deities spread.
In addition to the golden deity, there was also a black-haired deity, although the black-haired deity had already gone to the Desolate Star System.
Soon after, both the Kler Tribe Palace and the Alliance sent messages, stating that the Alliance only recognized the golden-haired deity, and they were only under the protection of the golden-haired deity, Yuejian Witness, whereas the others were false deities. There were even some words similar to those on a wanted poster.
The more the Alliance did this, the more it indicated that the black-haired deity was also a deity.
Not to mention that the z30 star in the Desolate Star System was directly renamed God’s Star.
This incident of twin deities being born in the Abyss was likely true.
This had never happened before, and coupled with the highly centralized regime of the Alliance, speculation and rumors were ultimately just speculation and rumors. For many people, they didn’t care about this point. They only needed to know that their deity was favored by the Abyss, that their deity could heal their genetic diseases, and that they had always been protected by this deity. As for what the black-haired deity who went to the Desolate Star System was like, they didn’t care.
This news naturally didn’t reach the lower star systems.
Only the carp tribe, who had access to the previous information, finally realized belatedly that the person in front of them might really be a deity.
However, no matter how they shouted, tried to make Xinghui turn back, tried to repent, apologize, when the little deity walking at the forefront didn’t even look back, but just put on his military cap and quickly disappeared, the carp tribe members’ bodies instantly went limp.
The little Weaver Tribe children were taken away by the deity.
As for them, the deity had already given them an answer from the beginning. He was gentle, but also firm.
“We don’t trust each other. I respect freedom of belief, so I won’t and can’t protect you. Survival of the fittest. Now you can try it yourselves.”
The avian star beasts, without their leader and the Weaver Grass, were now aimlessly flying around in the sky, roaring and screeching, causing panic in people’s hearts. But what was even more terrifying was the redemption that almost came within reach but disappeared because of their arrogance and pride.
*
As for what these carp tribe members were thinking, Xinghui didn’t have time to think about it.
He had already boarded the starship, and the unfortunate demon tribe members were all dripping wet when they returned.
It must be said that the scent of the Weaver Grass was really strong, otherwise it wouldn’t have attracted the avian beasts in the sky so quickly after just sprouting.
Xinghui quickly returned to his room on the starship.
This trip ended quite quickly.
After all, from the moment they set out, they were just trying to bring back these little Weaver Tribe children.
They hadn’t expected any unexpected surprises.
Unexpectedly, they received a piece of the deity fragment.
It was clear that the deity fragment was quite active as well, otherwise it wouldn’t have been discovered and taken away by those avian beasts.
After entering the room this time, Xinghui didn’t shrink into his familiar corner.
Instead, he cleaned his hands and then rubbed his eyes.
When the wind hit him hard earlier, something seemed to have blown into his eyes. It didn’t sting or hurt, but it felt like there was something foreign in there.
The little deity sat on the soft sofa.
Expressionless, he raised his hand to rub his eyes.
The shock absorption effect of the gun was really good. His wrist didn’t hurt anymore.
The door to the room was knocked on.
Xinghui lowered his hand.
“Come in.”
Yuanyuan quickly entered the room. Xinghui had used a gun today, and although it seemed fine, he still couldn’t help but want to take a closer look.
But as soon as he entered, his expression became fierce.
“What’s wrong with your eyes?”
Xinghui blinked.
“Nothing.”
The deity looked somewhat bewildered.
Yuanyuan’s clothes were still draped over him, and his cloak hadn’t been removed yet.
As Xinghui leaned against the back of the sofa, the ribbons of the cloak crisscrossed, combined with the wide military coat, slightly puffing up. It seemed to envelop Xinghui completely, making his face appear even smaller and his figure even thinner.
Yuanyuan had already walked over in three or two steps, crouching down in front of Xinghui.
Like a big wolfhound, with his head slightly tilted up, he met the gaze of the star, who was looking down.
“Got something in your eye?”
He quickly understood, also recalling what happened before.
The icy emotions in his eyes dissipated, and for a moment, there was a hint of mixed feelings.
“How long have you been feeling uncomfortable? Why didn’t you say anything?”
He reached out, the warm fingertips touching the skin beneath the star’s eyes.
As the lesser god rubbed his eyes, they were already slightly reddened.
Tender.
That was the only thought in Yuanyuan’s mind.
Just too tender.
A gust of wind blowing into the eyes, a little rub and they turned instantly red.
When Yuanyuan reached out, the star instinctively recoiled, but still felt the touch of his fingertips.
A warmth spread, like the touch of a dragonfly skimming water, and soon withdrew properly.
“Let me get you some water to rinse.”
Yuanyuan said casually, already accustomed to being busy around the lesser god.
He noticed that the star was very stubborn; even when something got into his eyes and made him uncomfortable, he endured it until he could go to his room and rub his eyes quietly.
Yuanyuan untied the satin ribbon that adorned the star’s shoulders and set aside his clothes along with it.
With one hand, he caught Xinghui’s wrist, urging him not to rub anymore, and quickly found some clean water to wash his eyes.
“I’m not that uncomfortable—”
Xinghui hadn’t even moved yet, Yuanyuan was fast, unbuttoning his clothes as he spoke, and holding his wrist.
This first believer was a bit too considerate.
He found that the demon clan was indeed very enthusiastic.
And he couldn’t wash his eyes by himself.
Soon, the water washed over the eyelashes.
The dense black lashes glistened with sparkling droplets.
Xinghui blinked and looked at Yuanyuan.
“Alright.”
A drop of water slid from the corner of his slightly red eyes, and Yuanyuan watched as the tension seemed to ease with the water, but before the droplet could continue its descent, it was quickly wiped away by the lesser god’s hand.
Fragile as a god may seem, he was not weak.
He quickly calmed down.
“The fragments of the god are more active than I imagined, which is good for my recovery, but not necessarily for the Interstellar.”
Just like the ominous feeling in his heart.
The fragments of the god seemed to be echoing that feeling.
Yuanyuan dabbed Xinghui’s eyelashes with a tissue, gently patting away the water droplets.
He replied, “How many pieces of this thing are there?”
“I don’t know.”
Xinghui shook his head.
“There’s no information about this in the inheritance.”
Or perhaps, since his inception as a god, he had never thought about using the fragments of the god, because no god had ever found them in any inheritance.
He lowered his head, and in his arms appeared two palm-sized crystal-like fragments.
At this moment, a warm white light emanated from the fragments in the star’s arms.
As soon as these two pieces appeared, the light intensified, and the two fragments merged into one.
Still palm-sized, but no longer as transparent, there seemed to be a flow of power within the fragment.
Xinghui also momentarily froze, and Yuanyuan’s blurred white light outline became clearer in his sight.
Even Xinghui could carefully make out the features of this person.
Just as he thought, somewhat fierce and not a good person at first glance.
This time, it wasn’t just Xinghui who raised his eyes, even Yuanyuan raised his eyes in surprise.
Because he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his body, as if he had become lighter.
Xinghui withdrew the fragments of the god into his body.
“Let’s continue searching; we should still have some time.”
He said, unable to help but carefully scrutinize the features of this guy.
Hmm, he looked really fierce, and no matter how he smiled, there was a sense of mockery beyond sophistication.
At this moment, Xinghui was somewhat grateful that he couldn’t see the appearance of this guy when he first arrived at the demon clan.
He was already nervous at that time, and if he saw the appearance of this guy, who knows…
Gods really have too much pressure to learn to bear.

As another fragment of the god was found.
The carp clan began to waver, and the surrounding lower star systems also began to understand these matters. The Star Network was discussing everywhere about the twin gods born from the abyss in this era, although they didn’t know about the fragments of the god, nor what abilities the star possessed.
But it was true that the Weaver Clan had been taken away by the god, and the carp clan could also testify that those little Weavers who were supposed to die from genetic diseases were alive again, coughing up blood one by one.
At this time, any discussion about genetic diseases and gods became the hottest topic.
Of course, the majority of people still stand with Yuejian, but there are a few who question why the Alliance didn’t properly explain the situation with the twin gods from the beginning and why they kept it hidden. Moreover, they heard that the black-haired god even left the Upper Star System and went to the desolate star system. How did they neglect their duties to let the god leave?
The voices of skepticism spread quickly, and even the Alliance couldn’t withstand it.
Soon, the other side issued a new announcement, still emphasizing that the Alliance and the Abyss only recognize Yuejian as the god of the Alliance. They explained that the reason they didn’t disclose the situation earlier was because the twin gods were born, and their powers seemed to be separated, much weaker than the gods recorded in history. Concealing the gods was also a form of protection for them.
Moreover, over the past five years, it was Yuejian who provided shelter to everyone, not Xinghui, and they claimed that Xinghui only gained power after obtaining the fragments of the god. The Alliance is also searching for the fragments of the god to offer them to their god. Finally, they reassured citizens not to worry about the issue of the twin gods, stating that their recognized god, even without the fragments of the god, was stronger than Xinghui and could provide better protection.
Finally, they briefly mentioned that Yuejian’s power had gradually recovered in recent years and that they intended to visit the lower star systems soon.
It must be said that the Alliance is still adept at handling such matters. With just a few words, they diverted the attention and instantly pacified the restless lower star systems.
The demons soon became aware of this announcement as well.
Since Xinghui returned to the God Star, there have been specialized demon clans monitoring every move of the Brilliant Star.
This announcement really made people angry.
However, after the firewall of the Brilliant Star was breached by the demons last time, they reinforced the firewall again, not allowing any means outside the Star Network to receive or publish any information.
The demons, one by one, were furious. Represented by Yin Fan, the relatively calm researchers in the demon clan began to pound the table angrily, gearing up to study the other side’s Star Network to give them a taste of their own medicine.
Meanwhile, the demons intercepted communications between the Brilliant Star and the Carp Star, basically confirming that the one called Yuejian was just a pretentious god who only stood behind issuing announcements, showing sympathy, and didn’t actually do anything. They planned to go to the Carp Star to stabilize the corner of his crumbling faith.
The fools in the lower star systems were still excited, with voices everywhere expressing concern for Yuejian’s well-being.
Yuanyuan was just about to walk to Xinghui’s room, thinking about how fake it was to smile like that, sinisterly contemplating how to retaliate.
Perhaps sneak over and send them a big gift?
Install a starship missile and bomb them?
In short, he couldn’t let the other party feel comfortable while he wasn’t. Except for his own god, he didn’t have much respect for others.
Just as Yuanyuan turned the corner, still pondering this issue, he saw Xinghui’s room door open.
Surrounding it inside and out were a group of little radishes, exactly the group of Weavers.
Yuanyuan’s brow jumped suddenly.
The three little demons he had found were lurking not far away, the little demon girl, Jieyuan, still holding the handle of the small cart, looking at Jiang Xing and Lu Cun, who were standing with their arms folded, and then coldly snorting.
Jieyuan reached out and poked Lu Cun, her soft and tender voice full of dissatisfaction.
“If you hadn’t been dawdling here, we would be the ones meeting the god now!”
“Speaking as if it’s so important to meet him.”
Lu Cun’s voice instinctively lowered, and he raised his hand to flick his cap. His round, bright red eyes, however, were fixed on Xinghui’s room, then he awkwardly turned away.
“We are soldiers, they are children, naturally different.”
Demons never coquettish!
“Grow up.”
Then came the careless voice behind him.
“Ah!”
Lu Cun was startled, and when he looked back, he met Yuanyuan’s dark red eyes. He couldn’t help but straighten his small frame.
“Commander!”
Yuanyuan glanced at the three little demons holding the energy mine carts.
Then he looked at the group of little Weavers surrounding Xinghui’s room.
For a moment, his mood was complicated.
They were all children, but they couldn’t compete with the later ones for favoritism.
Yuanyuan casually lifted the small carts that the three little demons could pull, and walked into Xinghui’s room.
“Commander, are you going to see Lord God? I want to go too!”
Jieyuan was the first to bounce up, quickly following behind Yuanyuan, with Jiang Xing following closely behind. Lu Cun opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but then looked at Xinghui’s room.
Every little Weaver who came out of Xinghui’s room had an excited blush on their face, full of happiness.
He, he just wanted to go and see what they were doing inside, not for any other reason.
Lu Cun thought as he quickly ran over.
Inside the room, although there were many little Weavers, the entry and exit were still very orderly.
They had already changed into the clothes prepared for them by the God Star, and were about to depart for the place where the God Star allocated them to live in the afternoon.
That place was also a desolate wilderness, not far from the demon clan’s base, and the environment was safe.
At the moment, Xinghui was conducting examinations for the children with more severe genetic diseases before their departure.
Although only a few needed to be examined, these little Weavers couldn’t help but all come along, standing at the door of Xinghuir’s room and carefully peeking inside.
They were overjoyed with every word Xinghui said.
So gentle.
Different from what they imagined.
Although the god looked very serious, he was actually very gentle!
If only the god could pat their heads again.
Xinghui discovered these still fragile but determined faiths on the return journey, with the help of Yin Fan in recent days, those little Weavers who were on the verge of death had recovered quite well.
At this moment, Xinghui was examining the most severely ill little Weaver.
The little boy was also the youngest among them.
About four or five years old, due to developmental issues, he was very short, and many words were still unclear to him.
At this moment, the two soft little antennae on his head drooped low, his small hands clinging to Xinghui’s leg, obediently resting his chin on Xinghui’s thigh, and looking up at Xinghui with a pair of deep green eyes.
Xinghui gently pursed his lips, placing his hand on the boy’s head and carefully examining the issues within his body. After confirming that there were no major problems, Xinghui smiled lightly.
“Alright, everything seems fine. When you go to live over there, remember to tell the adults if you need any help.”
“Okay, Lord God!”
The voices of these young ones rang out.
Unlike the first impression of the demons being tall, strong, and with a somewhat bad temper, these little Weavers were all soft and adorable in front of Xinghui.
It was really easy to feel a burst of protectiveness towards them.
Xinghui controlled the urge to reach out and pat the heads of his young followers.
He watched them leave and then turned to see a certain first follower whose perfect impression matched that of being tall, strong, and with a somewhat bad temper.
He set down what he was holding.
Unable to resist, he glanced at Xinghui’s thigh.
What was he relying on?
Just because he was young, could he lean on anyone he liked?
“Lord God, we’ve come to bring you energy mines!”
Jieyuan finally squeezed through the gap among the little Weavers at the door and ran boldly to Xinghui’s side.
“Lord God, can I also lean on you like they do?”
She wanted to snuggle up.
Jieyuan’s bright red eyes gleamed.
From the faces of those little Weaver children, it seemed very comfortable to be close to the Lord God.
Yuanyuan’s face grew even darker.
But he also realized that this feeling was a bit off.
These were all small children, and this sort of thing was quite normal, right—
Xinghui glanced at the other party with a puzzled look.
Although he didn’t quite understand why these little ones were so fond of crowding around him, it was probably related to their background and experiences afterward.
They had all lost their parents, and the Weavers didn’t even have adults. The adults who could be called parents among these little demons also didn’t seem like the kind who could afford to spend time playing with children.
After thinking it over, it seemed like only he could.
With a generous lift of his hand, which he had already found his position for, he glanced at Lu Cun, who was standing awkwardly nearby, listening to these words and almost staring his eyes out in disbelief.
He smiled lightly.
The normally serious face of the little god, when smiling, seemed boundless in charm.
Jieyuan had already approached, and Lu Cun struggled for a moment before he couldn’t help but walk to Xinghui’s side.
And taller than them by a head, Jiang Xing, still had a serious icy face, but he also moved forward, and in the end, he was grabbed by the collar by Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan’s face was completely black now.
This was not acceptable.
He was too old for this.
After throwing these three little troublemakers out of Xinghui’s room, Yuanyuan walked back while discussing the Alliance’s actions.
The soft and tender little ones had already left, especially when discussing these matters, the little god’s face couldn’t help but become serious.
That pale face was his usual expression, with lowered eyelashes, deep in thought.
“The Carp Star? Actually, since I obtained these two god fragments and my spiritual power has increased, and after becoming proficient in using my spiritual power, I’ve had some doubts about Yuejian himself.”
Xinghui looked up, showing no avoidance in his expression.
He remained calm and reliable.
“In addition to the anomaly of the god fragments, as a precaution, let’s go observe.”
Xinghui didn’t really feel much about Yuejian.
Although everyone who knew the two brothers would compare them, openly or secretly.
But probably because their residences were different, they only occasionally met, or when they interacted with the Abyss, or during the god celebrations in recent years, to be honest, there wasn’t much deep communication or interaction.
Why did this seem so agreeable to him?
Yuanyuan smiled.
Seeing that he wasn’t going to send a fully armed response to the Alliance, the tall demon squatted down beside Xinghui, next to the spot where someone had leaned against just now.
“Your body is too fragile. When you come into contact with others, you should check a few more times.”
Others naturally weren’t like him, he could always protect Xinghui.
After all, he was Xinghui’s first follower, the most devout one, even the contact of faith was tied up by him.
“If you want to touch demon horns, touch wings, or snuggle up, you don’t need to be polite with me, just say it.”
The tall demon, with a gentle and refined smile, looked up at his family’s god.
