After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 48

The light was just as described by those people.

 

Zuo Tan smiled.

 

It seemed he hadn’t come in vain; there were indeed genuine fragments of the god here.

 

He carefully held the potted plant in his hands and looked at Baoshan with a smile.

 

“How about it? Is this the first time you’ve seen such a sight? That’s something that belongs to the gods. Do you think you can hide it just because you want to?”

 

Zuo Tan signaled to the nearby elven guards to approach the house where the warm white light was emanating from.

 

As he looked at the Lingyan tribe, there was a pensive look in his eyes.

 

In fact, in his opinion, those who didn’t believe in Yuejian even in special circumstances didn’t deserve to survive under the protection of the Abyss and Yuejian.

 

If it were before, he would have definitely brought them to trial and sentenced them for their actions.

 

But now the situation was different.

 

It was obvious that the fragments of the god were found by the Lingyan tribe. He recalled the mental power of the Lingyan tribe; this race wasn’t strong in combat, but in finding fragments of the god, their mental power was obviously very useful.

 

“Don’t resist anymore. Do you still expect the demon clan to come and save you? The demon clan is just a bunch of mad dogs. They’re holding onto that god now because it’s beneficial to them. When it’s no longer beneficial, just see what happens to the barren galaxies. After all, mad dogs can’t be leashed.”

 

Zuo Tan gently pushed forward the potted plant in his hand.

 

“But it’s different for His Highness, Yuejian. Just by meeting him once, you can see how gentle he is. He’s so different from the gods you imagined before, and how much better. Now is the time for your mental power to shine. Don’t be too nervous. I won’t harm you, and in fact, I would like to invite you. Haven’t you felt the pain in your bodies easing? Join us in searching for the fragments of the god for His Highness, Yuejian. Not only will you receive preferential treatment for your genetic diseases, but the entire alliance will thank you once the issue of His Highness, Yuejian’s weakened powers due to that god, is resolved.”

 

These words sounded very tempting indeed.

 

At least for many members of the Lingyan tribe who had never seen either god, the promises of the alliance seemed more convincing.

 

Baoshan had been silent since earlier.

 

He heard the wavering voices of the young people around him.

 

But he didn’t believe this man’s words.

 

“We can’t beat you. If you want to be bandits, then be bandits. Don’t use those high-sounding excuses to fool us!” It was still Baofan who spoke up angrily. “Fellow tribesmen, we’ve been seeking help since several months ago, and until recently, there has been no support. Now that we’ve found the fragments of the god, they’ve come knocking on our door, offering to help—”

 

He sneered and looked directly into Zuo Tan’s emerald eyes.

 

“Why do I feel like it’s you who, when there’s a vested interest, is all cordial, but when there’s no vested interest, is the one to kick us out, not the demon clan!”

 

“Chief! They’ve broken into the house from behind!”

 

Another Lingyan tribe member guarding inside the room rushed out.

 

But the elven actions were faster. They had already brought the palm-sized pale golden fragment of the god to Zuo Tan’s side.

 

As the fragment of the god approached the potted plant in Zuo Tan’s hand, the shining light became even brighter.

 

Zuo Tan reached out and took the beautiful crystal-like fragment of the god in his hand, not getting angry at Baofan’s words.

 

After all, his purpose for this trip had been achieved. He had come quickly, found what he was looking for quickly, and now he needed to leave as quickly as possible to avoid running into those demon clan people.

 

“Since you put it that way and don’t agree to cooperate, then forgive me for not staying any longer. I’m also curious to see if the demon clan will really come to your rescue once there are no fragments of the god left for bargaining.”

 

Zuo Tan elegantly put away the fragment, cradling the delicate potted plant in his hands, just about to give the order to leave.

 

“Since you’re so curious, why don’t you just come and ask us directly?”

 

A lazy, leisurely voice came.

 

As soon as Zuo Tan heard this voice, he felt a chill run down his spine and looked around warily.

 

At this moment, several small demon clan landing airships appeared in the sky, and the massive demon clan flagship also appeared not far away. The demon clan’s concealment techniques were always excellent, coupled with the protection of the black-haired god, even within the range of the Abyss’s cover, they could come and go almost freely.

 

The tall demon clan’s dark red eyes met his gaze, and he was still holding someone in his arms, with his wings spread behind him as he descended.

 

The black-feathered wings retracted, and the tall demon clan instinctively took a half-step back, revealing the black-haired god at the forefront.

 

Amidst the turbulence, the black-haired god looked up at them, his pitch-black eyes clear and calm, as if seeing through all their little schemes. There was hardly any expression on his face, but the moment he appeared, it was as if the scene had been paused.

 

Even though he spoke words about not believing in faith, the fact remained that he was a god, and just his appearance alone exerted tremendous psychological pressure.

 

This was bad, they had indeed run into them.

 

Zuo Tan cursed inwardly.

 

But there was still a way out.

 

Zuo Tan tightened his grip on the shard of the divine fragment in his hand, retreating a few steps under the protection of the surrounding elven guards.

 

Although they dared not disturb the Abyss, they had already found reinforcements from the upper star systems close to them when they discovered the divine fragment.

 

The closest to this place was the Dragon Clan, and they were probably about to arrive.

 

As long as they could delay until the reinforcements arrived, with the combat power of the Dragon Clan, it wouldn’t be a problem to hold off the Demon Clan for a short while and get them to leave.

 

Thinking of this, Zuo Tan felt slightly relieved.

 

He still maintained his elegant smile.

 

“Another divine being, good day, nice to meet you for the first time.”

 

“Are you the chief judge of the Elven Clan?”

 

Xinghui had secretly scrutinized him.

 

“I’ve heard about you.”

 

The hierarchical system of the Elven Clan was different from many other races. Apart from the Elven Queen, the most powerful and prestigious figure was the chief judge of the Elven Clan. Xinghui had heard that a new chief judge had been elected in the past three years, and there had even been a celebration ceremony held by the Elven Clan, although he naturally hadn’t attended.

 

“Well, it’s my honor then.”

 

Zuo Tan still wore a smile, intending to hide the divine fragment.

 

But the divine fragment shimmered, making Zuo Tan’s every move very conspicuous.

 

“Enough with the pleasantries.”

 

Xinghui wasn’t good at beating around the bush.

 

He was already annoyed by Zuo Tan’s interception and the words he had just said, and the little divine being in his heart was already poking at him, wanting to scold him.

 

But outwardly, Xinghui still maintained his cold and dignified divine demeanor.

 

“Hand over the divine fragment.”

 

He wasn’t too keen on being polite with you.

 

Zuo Tan’s smile froze for a moment.

 

Then he quickly put the divine fragment into his pocket.

 

“Are you going a bit too far? Although the divine fragment is something that belongs to the gods, it doesn’t exclusively belong to any one deity, does it? You already have so many divine fragments, do you still need to come and snatch this one? Considering your altruistic assistance to the Demon Clan and the Revenant Clan, I believe you wouldn’t want the situation of so many people in the Alliance to continue deteriorating because of your seizure of the divine fragment, right?”

 

He said, and the elves around him kept getting closer, surrounding Zuo Tan.

 

Zuo Tan pretended to remain calm while looking at the sky, cursing the damn dragons for not arriving yet.

 

“And besides, our Lord Yue Jian’s power can resonate perfectly with the divine fragment.”

 

“Where did all this nonsense come from.”

 

Yuanyuan stood beside Xinghui, taking a step forward, with the huge black crow feathers behind him half closed, enveloping the little divine being within.

 

He was annoyed by the upper star systems’ guys who were speaking nonsense, and he saw his little divine being step aside—

 

He made way for him.

 

The divine being held by the rope thought that his “vicious dog” was right, so he loosened the rope.

 

The elves hadn’t reacted yet.

 

The spiritual power belonging to the Demon Clan came crashing towards them.

 

Zuo Tan couldn’t help but curse aloud.

 

Evil Demon Clan really went overboard, attacking without any warning.

 

Fortunately, they were prepared when they arrived and knew that the Evil Demon Clan was also approaching, so they were on guard ahead of time. Combined with their natural affinity for defense, they could withstand the Evil Demon Clan for a while.

 

But at this moment, Zuo Tan felt immense pressure.

 

He could clearly feel his breath becoming somewhat constricted under the pressure of the Evil Demon Clan’s spiritual power.

 

“Whoever stole the thing knows it in their heart, and it shouldn’t be you saying these things, right?” Xinghui listened to their words and wanted to laugh, but he remained calm and took a few steps forward.

 

“So—hand over the divine fragment.”

 

Yuan Yuan took a moment to look back at Xinghui.

 

The small black-haired deity’s eyes were bright, fixed on the divine fragment, waiting to snatch it.

 

He looked like a bandit.

 

The thing that was really annoying was that even with this bandit-like appearance, Yuan Yuan’s heart started to beat slightly faster.

 

Just as Yuan Yuan and the surrounding Evil Demon Clan were about to intensify their attack, they suddenly saw the divine fragment in Zuo Tan’s pocket move.

 

Like a curious baby, a small corner of it peeked out from his pocket.

 

Xinghui blinked.

 

Yuan Yuan paused.

 

The other Evil Demon Clan members also stared at the divine fragment, completely resembling wolves eyeing their prey, just waiting to pounce when the little deity revealed more of itself.

 

“Since the divine fragment has resonated with my Lord Yuejian’s power, it should belong to Lord Yuejian. What are you doing forcibly taking it now?!” Zuo Tan’s face had turned dark, feeling the pressure on him diminish slightly. He found it strange that the Evil Demon Clan didn’t seem as formidable as Mo Jiuze had described.

 

He felt something slipping out of his pocket.

 

He looked down in horror.

 

He watched as the golden divine fragment flew up and tapped his head several times.

 

The divine fragment ran away!!

 

He thought to himself in horror.

 

He watched as the divine fragment, taking advantage of the distraction caused by the Evil Demon Clan’s attack on the surrounding Lingyan Clan members, hopped and flew past, finally landing happily beside Xinghui.

 

Xinghui felt slightly puzzled internally, but recalling the divine fragment that had voluntarily come to him earlier, he felt that it made some sense. So, with a demeanor of having everything under control, he raised his fair, slender hand and grasped the beautiful crystal-like divine fragment.

 

Whether it was the sheen of his hand or the radiance of the divine fragment, it shimmered brightly in everyone’s gaze.

 

Author’s Note:

 

Zuo Tan [can’t believe it]: Why?!

 

Xinghui [somewhat puzzled]: Hmm, that’s just how it is.

 

Divine(Star) Fragment: Here I come!!!

 

Yuyuan: Damn, today I’m crazy in love again. Ahhh, the little bandit is also very cute, right, wife, wife, wife.

 

*

 

Today, I had a bit of a fever again, but it’s going down now. I think I’m getting better!

 

Once I’m better, I’ll indulge in some writing~

 

That’s all for today. Sweet dreams, my darlings. Love you all.

Considering your altruistic assistance to the Demon Clan and the Revenant Clan, I believe you wouldn’t want the situation of so many people in the Alliance to continue deteriorating because of your seizure of the divine fragment, right?”

 

He said, and the elves around him kept getting closer, surrounding Zuo Tan.

 

Zuo Tan pretended to remain calm while looking at the sky, cursing the damn dragons for not arriving yet.

 

“And besides, our Lord Yue Jian’s power can resonate perfectly with the divine fragment.”

 

“Where did all this nonsense come from.”

 

Yuanyuan stood beside Xinghui, taking a step forward, with the huge black crow feathers behind him half closed, enveloping the little divine being within.

 

He was annoyed by the upper star systems’ guys who were speaking nonsense, and he saw his little divine being step aside—

 

He made way for him.

 

The divine being held by the rope thought that his “vicious dog” was right, so he loosened the rope.

 

The elves hadn’t reacted yet.

 

The spiritual power belonging to the Demon Clan came crashing towards them.

 

Zuo Tan couldn’t help but curse aloud.

 

Evil Demon Clan really went overboard, attacking without any warning.

 

Fortunately, they were prepared when they arrived and knew that the Evil Demon Clan was also approaching, so they were on guard ahead of time. Combined with their natural affinity for defense, they could withstand the Evil Demon Clan for a while.

 

But at this moment, Zuo Tan felt immense pressure.

 

He could clearly feel his breath becoming somewhat constricted under the pressure of the Evil Demon Clan’s spiritual power.

 

“Whoever stole the thing knows it in their heart, and it shouldn’t be you saying these things, right?” Xinghui listened to their words and wanted to laugh, but he remained calm and took a few steps forward.

 

“So—hand over the divine fragment.”

 

Yuan Yuan took a moment to look back at Xinghui.

 

The small black-haired deity’s eyes were bright, fixed on the divine fragment, waiting to snatch it.

 

He looked like a bandit.

 

The thing that was really annoying was that even with this bandit-like appearance, Yuan Yuan’s heart started to beat slightly faster.

 

Just as Yuan Yuan and the surrounding Evil Demon Clan were about to intensify their attack, they suddenly saw the divine fragment in Zuo Tan’s pocket move.

 

Like a curious baby, a small corner of it peeked out from his pocket.

 

Xinghui blinked.

 

Yuan Yuan paused.

 

The other Evil Demon Clan members also stared at the divine fragment, completely resembling wolves eyeing their prey, just waiting to pounce when the little deity revealed more of itself.

 

“Since the divine fragment has resonated with my Lord Yuejian’s power, it should belong to Lord Yuejian. What are you doing forcibly taking it now?!” Zuo Tan’s face had turned dark, feeling the pressure on him diminish slightly. He found it strange that the Evil Demon Clan didn’t seem as formidable as Mo Jiuze had described.

 

He felt something slipping out of his pocket.

 

He looked down in horror.

 

He watched as the golden divine fragment flew up and tapped his head several times.

 

The divine fragment ran away!!

 

He thought to himself in horror.

 

He watched as the divine fragment, taking advantage of the distraction caused by the Evil Demon Clan’s attack on the surrounding Lingyan Clan members, hopped and flew past, finally landing happily beside Xinghui.

 

Xinghui felt slightly puzzled internally, but recalling the divine fragment that had voluntarily come to him earlier, he felt that it made some sense. So, with a demeanor of having everything under control, he raised his fair, slender hand and grasped the beautiful crystal-like divine fragment.

 

Whether it was the sheen of his hand or the radiance of the divine fragment, it shimmered brightly in everyone’s gaze.

 

Author’s Note:

 

Zuo Tan [can’t believe it]: Why?!

 

Xinghui [somewhat puzzled]: Hmm, that’s just how it is.

 

Divine(Star) Fragment: Here I come!!!

 

Yuyuan: Damn, today I’m crazy in love again. Ahhh, the little bandit is also very cute, right, wife, wife, wife.

Today, I had a bit of a fever again, but it’s going down now. I think I’m getting better!

 

Once I’m better, I’ll indulge in some writing~

 

That’s all for today. Sweet dreams, my darlings. Love you all.
