After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 50

Everyone in the elven clan couldn’t describe what kind of shock this was.

 

Under the natural disaster, the earth shook, and the entire planet trembled. Two towering mountains collapsed into view, and they couldn’t see how many more collapsed in places beyond their sight. Yellow sand rose, and smoke and dust filled the air. Even large starships swayed like drifting leaves in the wind amidst such a calamity.

 

Everything seemed so insignificant.

 

They were like grains of sand in the dust.

 

In the midst of such a shocking natural disaster, despair and panic were almost instant companions.

 

But such despair was forcefully resisted.

 

The black-haired deity even faced the natural disaster head-on, without even turning his head back. Clearly appearing frail and in need of the protection of the towering demon clan members beside him, yet he managed to erect a protective barrier, blocking out the wind and sandstorms.

 

How could this be?

 

It’s impossible!

 

Zuo Tan dared not even blink, staring fixedly at the barrier erected by Xinghui.

 

He couldn’t be mistaken! He was indeed very familiar with that barrier, which was clearly the same as the one Abyss erected to save them from the cosmic storm back then. Except that it was a bit smaller, Xinghui only erected this particular area, but other than that, it was no different from Abyss’s barrier.

 

But how could this be?

 

Even a deity shouldn’t possess such ability—

 

He was still being firmly pressed down, but at this moment, seeing Xinghui take action, the demons pressing him down seemed somewhat anxious.

 

“Why hasn’t the evacuation completed yet? We need to hurry up too and not add pressure to Lord Deity.”

 

Zuo Tan’s gaze fell on them.

 

“You knew from the beginning that Xinghui had this ability?”

 

So, that’s why they all were supposed to be sacrifices, but still didn’t evacuate?

 

“What ability is that exactly? Isn’t it the same barrier Abyss used to resist the storm under the Crown of Abyss?”

 

Some elves were already being pulled up by the demons, pressed towards their starships, and as they walked, they incredulously asked.

 

The appearance of deity fragments had already exceeded their cognition. This was the first time since the appearance of deities that deity fragments appeared together. They had naturally watched the previous live broadcasts, and they were well aware of Xinghui’s weak abilities during the five years in the Alliance, which naturally were attributed to the deity fragments.

 

And now, Xinghui not only surpassed Yuejian in the ability to cure genetic diseases in just a few months, but also produced a barrier that only Abyss had. Were deity fragments really that powerful?

 

Zuo Tan was equally incredulous.

 

He had just been dragged up by the demons, pressed to walk quickly towards the starship.

 

In his heart, he couldn’t help but think that it’s no wonder the demon clan had the courage to stay here all along. If it were him, he wouldn’t worry either.

 

The demon pressing him only glanced at him, snorted, and signaled him to quicken his pace.

 

“You’re so stupid. Who the hell encounters such things regularly?”

 

Every natural disaster was different. How could they predict what Xinghui would do and how they should act?

 

“Only because our Lord Deity promised to protect us,” the tall demon clan member said somewhat smugly, lips curling up in joy, “and he has never broken his promise, let alone abandon us.”

 

Moreover, if you look at it now, it’s clear who’s being abandoned?

 

The face of Zuo Tan, who had been ruthlessly abandoned here by the Allied Forces, became even more unsightly.

 

The feeling of discomfort in his heart couldn’t be described.

 

In the end, he could only force out four words—”A bunch of lunatics.”

 

The demon clan was indeed a bunch of lunatics.

 

They dared to entrust their lives to others without any guarantee!

 

Zuo Tan kept thinking like this, hoping that by doing so, they wouldn’t lose, and that being captured this time was just because the demon clan was abnormal.

 

And Xinghui, who was held by Yuanyuan around his waist, standing in mid-air, observed that most of the people below had already retreated into the starship.

 

The planet was shaking even more violently. After he suppressed the crack, it seemed to be accumulating more energy. Although it didn’t crack open even a meter further, the gap was getting larger and the force of the collapsing mountains around was slamming into the barrier he erected from all directions.

 

Unshielded were some relatively gentle and harmless winds. Those winds carried dust, and just a gentle blow could leave quite a few dust marks on the body.

 

Even the black, soft curls on Xinghui’s body were covered in a layer of dust, but Xinghui couldn’t care less about it now.

 

The little deity tightly pursed his lips.

 

“This natural disaster is stronger than the one we encountered in the z72 galaxy before. Clearly, it’s within the Abyss’s coverage— and it’s strange that Abyss hasn’t come.”

 

The commotion this time was already very significant.

 

Xinghui had originally kept a trick up his sleeve, wary of Abyss suddenly making a move.

 

But Abyss didn’t show up at all.

 

Yuanyuan’s head had been knocked countless times by the deity fragments, but he didn’t mind. He looked at Xinghui’s dusty hair and uniform, couldn’t help reaching out to pat Xinghui’s soft curls, brushing off some of the dust.

 

He also remembered that whenever someone made an appearance, they always looked fresh and bright, but their little deity was covered in dust.

 

But even covered in dust, Xinghui’s eyes remained firm, serious, and bright.

 

Truly shining things wouldn’t lose their radiance because of a thin layer of dust.

 

“Maybe there’s been a strong natural disaster in the higher-level galaxies, and Abyss is busy maintaining stability there and has no time for us,” Yuanyuan said, smiling and responding to the little deity’s words.

 

Xinghui glanced at him, and just at that moment, the deity fragments shifted to the back of his head. The little deity paused, found the target, and immediately bumped into it.

 

The tall demon’s hair shook, and there was a crisp sound.

 

Yuanyuan still smiled politely, his hand still firmly around Xinghui’s waist, as if he hadn’t felt anything.

 

Xinghui: …

 

Xinghui widened his eyes, then quickly and somewhat guiltily retrieved the deity fragments.

 

No wonder he had just felt a rhythmic sound.

 

So, it’s you who went to knock on someone’s head?

 

Aren’t you afraid he’ll eat you—

 

Oh, he seems to not eat gods, and he can’t bite you anyway, so it’s fine.

 

Xinghui held the deity fragments in his hand, which hadn’t had the chance to knock on Yuanyuan’s head yet, and looked at everyone who had boarded the starships. He could see the powerful fluctuations of various energies colliding in the air through his eyes.

 

He observed for a moment with narrowed eyes.

 

“Let’s leave here too.”

 

Both starships were activated.

 

Zuo Tan, with his grey and dusty face, was pressed onto his own starship.

 

The familiar elven starship, where he used to sit in the commander’s position, but today he could only be bound and thrown aside with his people.

 

The starship was entirely taken over by the demon clan, along with some Spirit Rock clan members brought aboard by the demon clan.

 

Those Spirit Rock clan members also cautiously approached to ask if they could help in any way.

 

Everyone was busy preparing for the subsequent evacuation.

 

Today was just too absurd.

 

Zuo Tan gritted his teeth, licked the blood stains on his lips, and sat on the ground, looking outside.

 

Through the window, the appearance of the barrier holding countless cracks once again caught his eye.

 

If he hadn’t experienced a cosmic storm once before, he wouldn’t even know what time it was now.

 

“The Alliance system is really troublesome—”

 

The demon clan members were still a bit unfamiliar with the starship they had snatched, grumbling while their hands moved quickly.

 

“The sky is full of energy collisions, and navigating a starship in such airspace is extremely dangerous. The more skilled operators can ensure a safe escape. I advise you to let go of me. I promise not to do anything else. I just want to safely leave from here.”

 

Zuo Tan was slightly calmer now, watching the demon clan members busily operating their systems.

 

He wanted to propose his own deal.

 

“I wouldn’t joke about my own life. You can rest assured of this, but I hope that after we leave this area, you can allow us to use the escape pods on the starship to leave.”

 

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden bright light outside.

 

Zuo Tan turned his head blankly to look outside.

 

The distance was too far now, and the flowers he had carefully held in his palm before were no longer visible.

 

The image of the barrier that had only covered a small piece of sky suddenly expanded outward.

 

Protected by the deity, they returned, and the light from the deity fragments fell on his profile. He seemed to be glowing, and in the next moment, the barrier broke through the blockade of the sky’s power, and the purplish-red sky was momentarily disrupted, and the ground’s tremors seemed to temporarily cease—he forcefully tore open a safe passage in the dangerous sky.

 

Even in the face of a natural disaster, if necessary, he would resist without hesitation!

 

That radiance was imprinted in the eyes of all the elven clans.

 

“How is this possible?”

 

“The Chief Judge—Is this really what the Alliance said the deity could do?”

 

The elves looked at the sky in confusion.

 

The starships had already traced the path opened by Xinghui and exited the range of Spirit Rock Star.

 

The Spirit Rock clan members were even more incredulous as they watched the scene before them.

 

Except for the demon clan members piloting the starships, almost everyone looked out the windows.

 

They watched as the purplish-red sky gradually receded.

 

As the starships smoothly departed, everything had happened too quickly. From start to finish, there may not have been even ten minutes, as fast as a dream.

 

At this moment, the doors of the starship were opened.

 

Yuanyuan followed Xinghui in from outside.

 

Since the elven starship was relatively close, they had boarded this elven military ship nearby, so there wasn’t enough time to tidy up and change clothes.

 

There was still dust on the little deity’s hair, and his military jacket was off, currently draped over Yuanyuan’s arm.

 

“Lord Deity! Are you okay?”

 

The demons, who had been grumbling incessantly since earlier, anxiously and impatiently, lit up when they saw Xinghui enter the door. They suddenly appeared obedient, as if the demons who had just been so restless and irritable weren’t these people in front of them.

 

“I’m fine. How about all of you?”

 

Xinghui glanced at them.

 

The time was too short, and things had happened too suddenly. The little deity hadn’t had time to reflect on his actions this time, but when he saw their eyes light up, Xinghui felt that this kind of gaze was somewhat familiar.

 

“We’re fine, of course!”

 

“Lord Deity is really amazing. Not only did the fragments come to you on their own, but there was also a natural disaster, and then this and that, and we came out!”

 

Xinghui: …

 

The little deity couldn’t help but dig his toes into the ground again.

 

The familiar demon style, the familiar level of shame.

 

Just say it, don’t gesture wildly! He didn’t make so many movements just now, and besides, it was by opening a passage with the barrier, not by raising his hand and unleashing some earth-shattering power.

 

Xinghui opened his mouth blankly.

 

Finally, he silently suppressed his words.

 

Forget it, an excellent deity should be able to bear various evaluations from his believers.

 

The demon clan just lacked a bit of vocabulary and had poor language expression skills, but other than that—

 

Bear with it, Xinghui, just bear with it.

 

“Hahaha, I saw Lord Deity’s heroic posture today. I’m going to brag about it a hundred times when I go back!”

 

A voice came from somewhere.

 

Xinghui looked expressionlessly over at the gathered demon clan members.

 

So, not only does he have to listen to the demon clan and those little demon clan members talk about how he went ‘biubiubiu’ and shot, but he also has to watch these demon clan members dance around and gesture wildly about him opening a path with a barrier?

 

Fine, he’s already numb.

 

“Lord Deity, Boss, we’ve detected that the Dragon clan’s starship is not far from here. What action should we take?”

 

Yuanyuan, upon hearing this, chuckled darkly, showing no intention of giving the other party face.

 

“All energy cannons, charge up, get ready—”

 

*

 

At this moment, on the Dragon clan’s starship.

 

Long Yi couldn’t believe his eyes either.

 

Their starship had backed away and maintained a safe distance from Spirit Rock Star.

 

But the equipment on the starship still allowed them to see what was happening on Spirit Rock Star.

 

All the dragons who had been watching the excitement suddenly fell silent when they saw the familiar barrier being erected.

 

It wasn’t until both starships had left the range of Spirit Rock Star that the disasters on Spirit Rock Star, affected by the barrier, paused for more than ten seconds before continuing.

 

“Commander, is this the deity’s barrier? Did Lord Xinghui do this?”

 

“Is that really the deity’s barrier?”

 

Long Yi was no longer sitting leisurely in his chair but stood up eagerly, wanting to see clearly through the screen what exactly it was.

 

“Is this also the ability of the deity’s fragments? Shouldn’t we reconsider giving up these fragments?”

 

The Dragon clan was also thrown into confusion and panic.

 

Just then,

 

“Commander, the elven starship is requesting communication.”

 

The elven starship had already been occupied by the demon clan.

 

Long Yi was well aware of this.

 

With confusion in his purple eyes, he had casually set aside the crystal coin in his hand. He hadn’t even noticed the small potted plant he had previously cared for, which was now crushed beneath it.

 

His mind was fixated on the scene that had just unfolded.

 

The deity stood before the disaster, his expression still calm and composed, as if everything was under control. All light was extinguished beneath the disaster, but the deity’s fragment was glowing, he was glowing, and the barrier he erected was glowing.

 

Long Yi had never seen such a beautiful glow before.

 

It sparkled brightly, even more than all the treasures he had collected.

 

In fact, they should leave this place immediately now. After all, the demon clan had obtained the deity’s fragment, captured the elven Chief Judge, and the disaster was still ongoing. Even if they confronted the demon clan here and fought for it, if they took too long, the changes caused by this planet might further affect them.

 

But maybe a quick glance at the monitor would confirm whether the deity had just sparkled like that.

 

“Patch through.”

 

He spoke coldly, his face showing no sign of the turmoil within.

 

The screen flickered.

 

A tall demon appeared on the screen.

 

At the moment their deep red eyes met his purple ones, Yuanyuan gave a lazy smile.

 

“So confident, aren’t you going to run?”

 

The next moment, with a ‘boom,’ the Dragon clan’s starship shook violently as several energy cannons struck its defense barrier simultaneously. The vulnerable spot was instantly shattered. Fortunately, the two starships were far enough apart, so although this sudden attack broke through their starship’s defense barrier, it did not damage the vital parts of the starship.

 

The screen went black again.

 

The demon clan, in their extreme malevolence, seemed to just want to see who they were attacking, full of mockery and ridicule.

 

When they stabilized again and looked, the two starships had already fled far away.

 

Long Yi’s face darkened completely.

 

“Leave this area immediately, and report to the higher-ups immediately.”

 

*

 

On the elven starship,

 

Led by Zuo Tan, the elves were still tied up and thrown aside, looking on with anger and dissatisfaction as the demon clan, acting like bandits, quickly plundered their entire starship.

 

Then, gleefully, they presented what they had found to Xinghui.

 

The little deity was sitting comfortably in the most comfortable chair they had found.

 

The room was filled with all kinds of things.

 

It must be said that the elves still knew how to enjoy themselves. Sparkling gems, various seeds, and some treats from the Union, especially popularized by Yuejian, were all piled up.

 

Several demon clan researchers who had come along were also on this starship, currently studying the seeds labeled with strawberries, grapes, melons, etc.

 

These seeds were not found in desolate star systems or lower-tier star systems but only in higher-tier star systems. Finally, they had the opportunity to understand what strawberries tasted like. The researchers were excited; they could finally make more similar nutrient solutions for Lord Deity! No, they could just send strawberries directly to Lord Deity to eat!!

 

And those soft, white little treats were placed in delicate little plates and presented to Xinghui.

 

For the first time after seeing something, Xinghui also saw these little treats that Yuejian liked.

 

The calm and sharp eyes were serene at the moment, but the little tuft of hair on the head, not flattened by the military cap, shook slightly, revealing his curiosity. He reached out and poked the little treat.

 

As expected, poking it felt just as soft as it looked.

 

Zuo Tan’s body had already become somewhat numb from being bound, becoming a prisoner, and all the things he had brought with him had been taken away by the other side to please their deity. Zuo Tan couldn’t express what he felt in his heart. He just looked at Xinghui’s curious expression and couldn’t help but tug at the corner of his lips, feeling like his entire face was aching.

 

“It’s just the most common rice cake found in the streets and alleys of the upper-tier star systems of the Union. I guess it’s disappointing for you. I didn’t bring anything good out this time, and resources in desolate star systems are scarce. You probably haven’t seen this kind of thing for a long time, right?”

 

That’s why he was so cautious.

 

Although he still hadn’t given up his faith in Yuejian, his emotions had been off since Xinghui erected that deity barrier, and even his address had unconsciously changed. After all, ten years ago, everyone was in despair under the storm. If it hadn’t been for the appearance of the deity barrier, there might not have been so many people alive in the Union now.

 

The significance of this barrier to the Union was different.

 

This made Zuo Tan feel uneasy looking at Xinghui.

 

The young man’s hair was disheveled, his elven ears drooping in disappointment, his emerald eyes also showing some desolation and numbness, his fair cheeks covered in dust and small wounds, and the smile had completely disappeared.

 

Although Xinghui hadn’t been valued before, he was still a deity, provided with excellent conditions by the people in the imperial palace.

 

But the desolate star system had little resources and naturally couldn’t compare to the comfortable life in the Union.

 

Yuanyuan, standing beside Xinghui, raised his eyelids and glanced at the other party.

 

Before Zuo Tan could understand the meaning behind that look,

 

The deity with black hair had already spoken, his voice steady, pleasing to the ear.

 

“This is rice cake? Deities don’t have desires of the flesh, and I haven’t seen these things either.”

 

Or perhaps he didn’t need them before.

 

As long as he didn’t mention it, Yuanyuan wouldn’t bother to spend extra effort on him.

 

So this so-called rice cake commonly found in the streets and alleys of the upper-tier star systems was indeed something he hadn’t seen.

 

Haven’t seen it? 

 

Even though rice cake shops were everywhere in the streets and alleys, Xinghui, who was in the brilliant Star Imperial Palace, had never seen them. Even though deities didn’t have desires of the flesh, hadn’t anyone ever sent anything to Xinghui?

 

Zuo Tan froze, feeling his cheeks burning even more.

 

It was as if the words he had just said had come back to slap him in the face hard.

 

He opened his mouth, but couldn’t find any other words to say.

 

But at this moment, he understood the meaning behind Yuanyuan’s earlier gaze – mockery.

 

Saying they provided the best environment for the deity was just an excuse to leave him feeling justified but ignored.

 

Xinghui was already holding the rice cake and putting it in his mouth.

 

A rice cake was only about the size of two thumbs put together.

 

He could already see that even while eating, the little deity sitting straight could maintain his dignity and image. He took a bite.

 

Yuanyuan had been staring at Xinghui since a while ago, his gaze too lazy to be divided among others.

 

Seeing a bit of crumbs on Xinghui’s lips, which he himself seemed unaware of, Yuanyuan’s black eyes remained earnestly fixed on the half-eaten rice cake in his hand, chewing slightly on his cheek.

 

Yuanyuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed momentarily.

 

He really didn’t know what was going on.

 

Was it that things Xinghui ate and drank tasted exceptionally sweet, or was it something else? From the nutrient solution Xinghui had drunk earlier to the crumbs on his lips now.

 

Yuanyuan reached out, quickly brushing off the crumbs at the corner of Xinghui’s lips.

 

He glanced down at the crumbs on his fingertips.

 

Damn it, he actually didn’t want to wipe them off – he wanted to eat them.

 

And Xinghui suddenly realized something, licking his lips.

 

Oops! Did he get crumbs on his lips?!

 

His dignity, his image!

 

Xinghui quickly stuffed the remaining half of the rice cake into his mouth, making sure there were no crumbs on his face. Casually hooking his hand, he pressed his military cap onto his head, holding down the unruly tuft of hair, leaving only his cold and fair profile.

 

It seemed like the young deity was no longer interested in the remaining rice cake.

 

Only Yuanyuan noticed that Xinghui’s chewing seemed to pause for a moment.

 

The next moment, Yuanyuan had already inserted the nutrient solution he carried with him into Xinghui’s lips with a straw.

 

Xinghui instinctively took a sip.

 

Swallowing the rest of the rice cake.

 

Then he remembered the insights he had heard before, the deity’s guidelines – don’t casually reveal your preferences.

 

The deity with black hair raised his eyes, his straight eyelashes casting shadows on his face under the military cap, making him appear even colder and more reliable.

 

Followed by a casual evaluation.

 

“It’s alright.”

 

Sweet, really like it.

 

Author’s note:

 

Xinghui: I feel sweet.

 

Yuanyuan: Sweet, lick lick!

 

Xinghui [feeling something is off]: ?

My head doesn’t hurt anymore hahaha, but my throat is still going through tribulations. Today’s little chubby chapter, let’s try to make it even chubbier tomorrow.

 

Regarding the cover, I think the original one is more suitable, so let’s stick with the original for now. If there’s a suitable one later or if I find someone to slightly modify the background, then we can consider changing it. You can check VB for cover-related matters~

 

That’s all for today, see you tomorrow!
