After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 51

The small deity’s face remained cold and dignified. He tasted the delicate pastry lightly, didn’t touch it again, and instead took the nutrient solution from Yuanyuan’s hand. Holding the straw in his mouth, he drank most of the nutrient solution in no time.

 

Meanwhile, Yuanyuan kept staring at Xinghui’s profile.

 

His reddish eyes narrowed slightly, showing a hint of suspicion.

 

If his feeling just now was correct, did Xinghui choke after taking a bite of the rice cake? And overall, he seemed to be in a good mood after eating it, so he probably liked it?

 

Yuanyuan thought to himself as he casually glanced at Zuo Tan, who couldn’t utter a word.

 

The judgment chief of the elves was indeed very important to the elves. They brought this group of elves along for similar considerations. In case they were useful in the future, they would be detained for now. However, now it seemed that they also knew quite a bit about the preparation of these fine foods.

 

The demons didn’t really care about what they ingested. As long as it provided daily nutrition and was not too difficult to swallow, it was fine. But in terms of Xinghui, if other deities had it, their deity must have it too!

 

Zuo Tan didn’t realize that he was being stared at. He was about to experience a miserable life of being captured for a while. At this moment, he seemed to be shocked by the reality.

 

He almost instinctively recalled various rumors about the black-haired deity that he had heard before on the main star of the elves.

 

However, no matter how much he tried to recall, all he remembered was that although the black-haired deity didn’t seem to have much power, he lived quite well in the splendid Star Imperial Palace. But specifically why he lived well, he had never heard anything about Xinghui.

 

Everyone surrounded Prince Yuejian, who could produce many plants to save them, and Abyss paid more attention to Yuejian. They also knew the methods the royal family wanted to use to monopolize the entire alliance’s power. Therefore, later everyone just got used to forgetting about the black-haired deity.

 

Zuo Tan had never seen the previous Xinghui. This time, in the Lingyan Star, it was his first time seeing Xinghui. He couldn’t describe his feelings at the moment.

 

If he really didn’t live as well as he imagined, how could Xinghui, five years later, not show any signs of those five years in terms of temperament or anything else?

 

While he was lost in thought, the emergency communication on the starship rang.

 

Yuanyuan glanced up.

 

“Lord Deity, boss, connection request from the higher star system.”

 

The demon clan reported.

 

At this moment, their starship was quickly rushing within Xinghui’s body’s range, and they would reach near the Rebirth Star soon.

 

Even if Abyss came, he wouldn’t be able to catch them.

 

Xinghui stood up first.

 

“Connect.”

 

Yuanyuan naturally reached out and took the nutrient solution that the small deity had drunk most of.

 

This nutrient solution should be a new flavor developed by the research lab. Xinghui hadn’t drunk it before. It had a faint sweet taste and a strong fragrance of fruitwood. Xinghui quite liked this fragrance, so when the nutrient solution was taken away from his hand, he couldn’t help but glance at it again.

 

This glance was successfully captured by Yuanyuan.

 

He paused slightly, then shifted his hand holding the nutrient solution to the side.

 

He successfully saw Xinghui’s gaze follow the nutrient solution for a moment before retracting his gaze, and calmly stood in front of the communicator.

 

Yuanyuan looked down at the nutrient solution in his hand and then at the plate with the partially eaten rice cake.

 

Could it be that Xinghui—likes sweet things? Just now his gaze followed the nutrient solution, and he choked when eating the rice cake—

 

Yuanyuan recalled for a moment.

 

His cold little face all day actually really likes sweets, and he reluctantly let go even after holding it for a while—help, why do I feel he’s cuter the more I remember?!

 

Unaware that his discreet glance was caught by his own first disciple, and that the deity was pondering various irrelevant thoughts, the small deity watched as the screen on the elven clan’s starship flickered.

 

First, a message flashed out to the entire alliance.

 

The nearby star system of the merfolk encountered an unprecedented aftermath of a storm.

 

Underwater volcanoes erupted, instantly polluting the seawater and causing it to rapidly warm up. Polluted rain also fell from the sky.

 

Both the merfolk and the races living on these merfolk planets suffered a calamity. If Abyss hadn’t worked hard to block such natural disasters, the creatures on these planets would have been wiped out.

 

Xinghui:…

 

After reading the message above, he couldn’t help but glance at Yuanyuan.

 

Just now, his first disciple was still beside him, saying that Abyss hadn’t come maybe because the upper star system had also been hit by a disaster, so they were too busy to attend to them.

 

Now—

 

Goodness, what kind of mouth do you have?

 

Yuanyuan was caught off guard by this glance. He didn’t pay much attention to the message above, but frowned slightly, seeming a bit embarrassed.

 

“I only brought one bottle of that kind of nutrient solution. I’ll give it to you when we get back.”

 

He also said seriously, “Please bear with it for a while.”

 

We’ll be home soon.

 

Xinghui:?

 

Why suddenly mention the nutrient solution?

 

The small deity’s eyes showed a bit of confusion, not on the same wavelength as his first disciple.

 

“Why would I need so much nutrient solution—”

 

Xinghui was led off track for a moment.

 

Deities are majestic and aloof, not driven by worldly desires!

 

But the small deity quickly brought the topic back. He summoned a fragment of the deity from within himself, and the fragment, which was already larger than two hands combined, lay quietly in Xinghui’s hand, emitting a warm, soft white light.

 

“Now, not only the barren star system and the lower star system, but even the upper star system is starting to show abnormal aftermaths of storms. And this time’s aftermaths are so short that Abyss didn’t even have time to come and attend to us. This is definitely not right, and these aftermaths are occurring too frequently.”

 

From the end of the storm to Abyss’s appearance, and the arrival of the deity, everything was eerie and strange.

 

“Yuanyuan, we may need to speed up even more.”

 

The deity stood in front of the elven clan’s communicator, tapping the tabletop with his fingertips one by one. His military cap pressed down on his jet-black hair, his thick black eyelashes drooping, covering those beautiful eyes. His lips, tinged with a blood color, were slightly pursed, and his white shirt outlined the small deity’s slender but beautiful figure. Despite still having some dust on him that hadn’t been cleaned off, it couldn’t hide the deity’s radiance in the slightest.

 

“I have a premonition that such things will only become more frequent and even more severe.”

 

As Xinghui spoke, he looked up.

 

At the same time, the message on the communicator flashed, the relaxed message just now disappeared, and another signal was connected.

 

“Chief Judge Zuo Tan, have you already obtained the target—”

 

The voice on the other end was cold and noble, completely devoid of any emotion.

 

But when they saw Xinghui on the screen, the person on the other end suddenly paused.

 

Xinghui also paused for a moment.

 

The jet-black eyes met the platinum-colored ones.

 

One steady, the other shocked.

 

“Yuanyuan.”

 

Xinghui’s expression remained calm, as he addressed the other party with a faint call, stating the fact.

 

“It seems you haven’t succeeded.”

 

The black-haired deity on the screen remained frail and beautiful, with a slightly loose collar revealing half of his delicate collarbones.

 

A person who had disappeared from his sight for a long time suddenly appeared before him.

 

The handsome features of the Emperor of the Brilliant Star Empire instantly darkened.

 

“Xinghui.”

 

He lowered his voice.

 

“Where is the Chief Judge of the Elven Clan?”

 

Xinghui glanced at Yuanyuan, while Yuanyuan, standing behind Xinghui, smiled openly upon seeing him, unreservedly.

 

“He is currently bound and unable to view the communication.”

 

“The Demon Clan has always been consistent in their banditry.”

 

Yuanyuan didn’t care what they said.

 

Catching sight of Xinghui’s collar, his eyelids twitched, and by the time he reacted, he had already bent down halfway, blocking Yuanyuan’s view of the camera on this side, and earnestly and somewhat clumsily fastened the button on Xinghui’s collar that had come undone.

 

Ensuring that not even a hint was exposed, he straightened up satisfactorily.

 

At this moment, Xinghui’s focus was different from Yuanyuan’s. In front of the hostile party, Xinghui felt the burden of his deity even more heavily. He stood up straight like a young pine tree, chin slightly raised, sharp eyes showing no mercy. Upon noticing how his first disciple earnestly and immediately tidied up his clothes to maintain his appearance, Xinghui gave him a look of encouragement.

 

“Whoever acted first to snatch, knows it in their heart.”

 

He held the divine fragment in his hand, and at this moment, the quiet fragment suddenly flew up from his palm, circling around Xinghui’s body.

 

It even stuck to Xinghui’s cheek in an especially clingy manner.

 

Using actions to prove who was trafficking the fragments.

 

It was almost as if it could say “pui pui pui” out loud.

 

Xinghui was taken aback by the touch.

 

Warm and a bit ticklish, he felt like dodging, but seeing the expression on Yuanquan’s face, he stiffened his body and didn’t move.

 

“Brother?”

 

Just as Xinghui was taken aback by the fragment’s actions, Yuejian appeared on the screen.

 

His brilliant golden hair and golden eyes seemed a bit dimmer than before, and his gaze instantly caught the deity fragments circling around Xinghui.

 

But he quickly averted his gaze.

 

“Brother, where is the Chief Judge? What have you done to the Chief Judge?!”

 

Upon hearing Yuejian’s voice, Zuo Tan seemed to snap back to reality in an instant.

 

“Your Highness Yuejian—”

 

He hadn’t finished speaking when he was knocked out by a demon next to him.

 

The demon, holding a club, said as he hit him, “I told you, don’t interrupt when our Lord speaks.”

 

“Judge!”

 

Yuejian sounded somewhat anxious.

 

He seemed to want to say something more.

 

But Xinghui found himself increasingly impatient with their conversation, especially with the tone and attitude of the other side.

 

The divine gaze was cold, and the jet-black pupils fell on him.

 

“Have you ever been a true god who always hides behind your followers?”

 

With a click, the communication was automatically terminated.

 

Xinghui raised his eyes. They had already entered the barrier and arrived near the ReWeave Star.

 

Within his mental range, communication from the Star Network and the Alliance could not come through.

 

Xinghui put aside the strange feeling he had just experienced.

 

He just felt that Yuejian’s personality was also rare among gods, overly attached to his followers, relying on them.

 

But every god was indeed different. Xinghui set aside these thoughts and reached out to retrieve the divine fragments that had been poking at Yuanyuan’s head.

 

For a moment, there was silence.

 

“You didn’t provoke the divine fragments, did you?”

 

The little divine suspiciously looked at Yuanyuan and spoke softly.

 

“No, I didn’t.”

 

It was just a few times of competing for favor, and it was a problem with the divine fragments themselves. How could that be considered provocation?

 

The demon’s hair was messy, and his eyes, a dark red, innocently looked at Xinghui, as if he had been bullied by the divine fragments.

 

He lowered his gaze to see Xinghui’s military boots and the slightly irregular cuffs, then obediently bent down to straighten them for Xinghui.

 

So obedient.

 

Like a big dog.

 

Xinghui felt that he wasn’t without skills. He could see and fix it himself now, but he also found the follower to be caring and obedient, completely different from the first time they met.

 

Especially since Yuanyuan had just been “bullied” by the divine fragments.

 

Unable to resist the temptation of comforting the deceived divine, Xinghui gently touched his small horn as a consolation.

 

As soon as he touched his small horn, Yuanyuan had already lifted his head, staring straight at Xinghui.

 

Realizing that comforting this demon wasn’t quite appropriate, Xinghui suddenly withdrew his hand, conscious that this “comforted” demon wasn’t a helpless little creature; he was a whole head taller than himself, and his tough skin made the divine fragments unable to budge him.

 

Moreover, Yuanyuan had neatly tidied up Xinghui’s clothes. His own collar was loose, and his gaze slid down along the curve of his throat, revealing a sturdy chest, exuding aggressiveness. Looking further down, one would see what had left a deep impression on Xinghui— 

 

The expression on the small deity’s face subtly changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

 

Facing Yuanyuan’s gaze, he seemed to adopt a posture of denial after touching.

 

“Let’s go to Reconstellation Star for maintenance first, deal with the matters of the Soul Rock Clan, then return to Divine Star, and continue searching for the whereabouts of the Divine Fragments. We need to be faster.”

 

Yuanyuan acknowledged with a sound.

 

Xinghui had already turned and left, while Yuanyuan remained half crouched, resembling a large dog.

 

Watching Xinghui’s back, his expression was somewhat strange.

 

He usually liked touching the little horns, so why did he touch them today?

 

It must have been the Alliance idiots who affected his mood; it couldn’t possibly be because of him.

 

***

 

Radiant Star Palace.

 

Before Yuejian could finish speaking, the communication on Xinghui’s end had already been cut off.

 

He remained hunched over the communicator, out of Yuanquan’s sight, his face contorting for a moment.

 

But he quickly calmed down, turning to look at Yuanquan.

 

“What does he mean?”

 

His tone was filled with extreme sadness.

 

“What does it mean that I’m not a deity? When we were born together, when the accident happened, it was clearly me who helped my brother bear a lot of responsibility. My power unexpectedly didn’t increase, which wasn’t what I wanted. I clearly did so much, why does it seem like I haven’t put in any effort at all in his eyes?”

 

Normally, Yuanquan, who should have been expressing devoutness towards him, remained silent.

 

Yuejian’s heart skipped a beat as he noticed the astonishment in Yuanquan’s eyes. The image on the adjacent screen entered his eyes.

 

A dark-haired deity stood amidst the storm, surrounded by swirling dust. A familiar barrier stood before the storm.

 

A divine barrier.

 

The same divine barrier that Abyss had just used not long ago.

 

How could Xinghui have erected a divine barrier?

 

The video playback ended, and Yuejian’s complexion grew even worse.

 

Yuanquan withdrew his tumultuous thoughts and regained his composure.

 

“Your Highness, rest assured, everyone will not forget your contributions to the Alliance over the past five years. Please wait patiently; we will search for the Divine Fragments and present them to you.”

 

Yuanquan said softly.

 

In reality, he was already somewhat uncertain.

 

Was the power of the Divine Fragments really so strong? After obtaining them, could a deity even erect a barrier to resist natural disasters?

 

In the current situation, it was evident that snatching the fragments from Xinghui’s hands wouldn’t be easy. The aftermath of the storm in the Mermaid Star System had also sounded the alarm for them; they needed to invest more resources and manpower to search for the Divine Fragments.

 

Yuejian’s abilities were stronger than Xinghui’s.

 

Xinghui could erect a barrier after obtaining the Divine Fragments, so Yuejian’s power should also be greatly enhanced.

 

Yuanquan, who had completely opposed Xinghui, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and stood up, walking to Yuejian’s side.

 

“Your complexion looks very poor. Let me take you back to rest first, and I’ll inform you as soon as there’s any news.”

 

Yuejian finally calmed his breath and nodded slowly.

 

Releasing his spiritual power, the surrounding vegetation grew even greener. He spoke earnestly and gently, “Although I am injured and my strength is limited now, if any of you feel uncomfortable, please remember to tell me.”

 

Yuejian was escorted back to his room by Yuanquan.

 

Inside the room, comfortable furnishings were arranged, with green plants scattered around. The ceiling was specially designed for Abyss.

 

The recent events in the Mermaid Star System had come too suddenly and fiercely, catching everyone off guard, including Abyss.

 

Having already given birth to a deity, Abyss had expended a considerable amount of power again, making even the stars seem dim.

 

Upon seeing Yuejian return, the radiance instantly followed his figure and settled on him.

 

The soft murmurs, indescribable whispers, were repeatedly saying—no pain, no tears.

 

Yuejian could understand Abyss’s words. His expression changed for a moment, but he still smiled.

 

“Mother, I’m not in pain, really not, and I didn’t cry, it’s just that my brother—”

 

When mentioning Xinghui, Abyss, a combination of humanity’s aloof power, still maintained his direct attitude. He thought that his eldest son liked the demons and rebelliously left, so he left. She didn’t mention it anymore. Her youngest son still needed her motherly care.

 

The unchanged voice, with stars falling on his hair and clothes.

 

Even though Yuejian reiterated that he wasn’t in pain and hadn’t cried, Abyss judged his son’s condition based on his power.

 

Abyss carefully looked at Yuejian again. His youngest son had been crying out in pain and tears since birth—

 

Abyss didn’t understand this, and only thought it was a problem brought about by the split of the twin deities’ power. She didn’t actually have much cognitive thinking; she was purely power, and she had learned some superficial human emotions she had seen over the years. In recent years, her emotional expressions had become clearer, still words that Xinghui had never heard, and Yuejian had never mentioned to anyone. Gentle cooing.

 

“No pain, no tears, Mommy will find new fun things for you to play with.”

 

Yuejian finally suppressed the tumultuous thoughts in his heart, nodded in response, still displaying the obedient good child demeanor.

 

***

 

The problem of the Soul Rock Clan was resolved quickly.

 

After all, there were too few remaining members of the Reconstellation Clan.

 

And they were all children.

 

Although the demon clan had sent many people to take care of these little Reconstellation Clan members, being all soldiers, they didn’t know how to handle them and didn’t know how to take care of them properly. Compared to the demon clan, the Soul Rock Clan was much more normal for these little Reconstellation Clan members.

 

So the Soul Rock Clan settled on Reconstellation Star smoothly, while also helping the frantic demon clan take care of the children.

 

The scene of rejection and various difficulties did not occur.

 

Bao Fan carried several little Reconstellation Clan members on his arms, looking at the demons next to him with eyes that seemed to see a savior.

 

Even though it had been two or three days, he still felt it was a bit unreal.

 

Author’s Note:

 

Yuanyuan: He likes sweet and cute things! He’s adorable! He drinks nutrient fluid through a straw! Adorable! He choked on a rice cake! Adorable!! I have to fasten my adorable wife’s buttons properly, not letting others see!

 

Xinghui [Thinking on a different wavelength]: My first believer is always paying attention to my divine majesty, devoutly, too devoutly!
