After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 52

In any case, it wasn’t quite what they had imagined.

Other than when they first arrived at Reconstellation  Star, when all the tribe members were very cautious to avoid displeasing the Demon Tribe, they had now quickly adapted to the current situation.

The Demon Tribe was easier to get along with than they had expected.

Moreover, these small Reconstellation  Tribes were generally very friendly. They probably faced similar issues at the beginning and were also unsure of how to properly interact with the formidable Demon Tribe.

During this period, they had been building houses here, and life was gradually getting on track. However, because of their belief in the gods, all the Lingyan Tribe members felt somewhat uneasy, worried that their tribe’s faith might disrupt the current peaceful life.

But Xinghui didn’t notice these guys’ concerns at all. After ensuring everything was arranged properly, the Demon Tribe’s airship flew back to God Star.

Baoshan, Baofan, and the Lingyan Tribe members who came with them were dumbfounded.

Was it over just like that?

They didn’t negotiate for their stay here, nor did they further propose any demands or conditions?

They just came to see that they could live independently, handed them and the small Reconstellation  Tribes over to the Demon Tribe on Reconstellation  Star, and then left??

“The gods wouldn’t make so many demands like those others.”

After living with the Demon Tribe and facing difficulties, they finally achieved peace. Under such tranquility, children like Zuchong had more smiles on their faces and had gained a bit of weight. The two little antennae on his head wobbled with his movements, and he was very earnest.

“The gods said to mind our own business and not do bad things. You all should relax too; the gods are different.”

Indeed.

The black-haired god was different.

Baofan looked at the sky. Since the storm, he hadn’t felt such peace and calm.

Although he wasn’t sure if it was faith, he now thought that those crazy people on StarNet talking about the gods had some truth to their words—the significance of the gods’ existence wasn’t just about genetic disease; it was also a form of hope. Seeing the gods was like seeing the light of dawn for the future.

He was lost in his thoughts.

These small Reconstellation  Tribes were extremely happy.

Apart from them, the only ones left on Reconstellation  Star were the Demon Tribe, each tall and strong, easily handling various tasks with an overwhelming presence. Usually, they had to monitor the surroundings, so the small Reconstellation  Tribes didn’t dare to approach them.

But now, a new weak tribe had arrived.

It was like they suddenly found a common topic and finally had someone to talk to.

“Even though the Demon Tribe looks a bit fierce, they are all good people. And since we’re also a weak tribe, we should get along well!”

These small Reconstellation Tribes were sincere.

With their big round eyes and soft, milky voices.

The Lingyan Tribe’s feelings were abruptly interrupted, like someone pressed the stop button.

The adults of the other weak tribe thought: …

Thank you for your recognition.

***

God Star, Demon Tribe Base.

“The Elf Tribe guys have already been sent to the prison area. I assigned them to handle the first step of processing energy ores.”

Xiya followed behind Yuanyuan, speaking with a smile.

The first step of processing energy ores is the most troublesome. It requires a lot of mental energy to manipulate tools and separate the associated ores. This step is not only mentally taxing but also very dusty, and many Demons are reluctant to handle the first step. Usually, it’s done by machines, but even machines powered by thermal light need to consume some energy stones to maintain operation and precision. Now, the arrival of these Elves provided free labor for processing these energy ores.

Especially Zuo Tan, who is the chief judge of the Elf Tribe. Having lived in the upper star systems, his genetic disease progression is very slow, almost completely suppressed, and his mental power is also very strong, making his efficiency incredibly high.

Xiya was very satisfied with this batch of free labor.

Finally, he didn’t have to rack his brains on how to assign his subordinates to the energy ore processing tasks. Previously it was manageable, but since Xinghui returned, every Demon had been eagerly waiting for their chance to stand out among their peers and have a chance to appear before the god.

So, assigning these fixed tasks had become quite a headache for the Demons.

“Boss, isn’t having them do these tasks too easy on them?”

Xiya thought about it carefully.

“According to the measurements, after being enveloped by the god’s mental power, the pollution level on God Star is continuously decreasing. Although we didn’t measure the pollution level on Splendid Star when we went there, I feel it’s about the same.”

“The god’s mental power is still expanding. Wherever you send it, it will likely end up like here.”

Xinghui’s mental power was genuinely reducing the pollution, and as he acquired more fragments of the god, the range was continuously expanding.

“It’s not the same as marking an abyss.”

Their little god was just different.

After saying this, Yuanyuan also realized how much trust he had already placed in Xinghui.

But there was no way around it; his devotion was unwavering.

No one could be more devout than him.

“Have the elves applied for communication?”

Yuanyuan looked at Xiya.

“They applied three times, but all were denied. Should we approve it next time to see what price the elves are willing to pay to get their people back?”

Yuanyuan glanced at Xiya upon hearing this.

“Approve what? Good labor like this shouldn’t be wasted. What could be more useful than this labor force?”

The elves were incredibly useful in processing energy ores; he was reluctant to trade them for anything.

Weren’t they quite arrogant towards their god before?

Now there’s no need for arrogance. Just let them work diligently on God Star.

At this moment, the elves, feeling aggrieved yet working hard, were eagerly hoping their kin would soon negotiate their release.

Yuanyuan quickly entered the command room.

Xinghui was standing in front of the screen, observing the data collected during the two large-scale natural disasters they encountered.

“The changes are happening so fast.”

The little god’s expression was serious, his brows slightly furrowed. His side profile was fair and beautiful, and the little tuft of hair on his head seemed to have grown a bit, swaying gently.

Yuanyuan quickly approached Xinghui.

The surrounding demons were very quiet, with many eyes secretly glancing at Xinghui, listening to Yuanyuan speak.

“Have you discovered something?”

“The data is changing too fast. The natural disasters came without any warning, feeling like a long-suppressed force suddenly being released.”

Xinghui spoke quickly.

“I can’t say exactly what’s going on, but it certainly doesn’t feel right.”

If the storms were a natural consequence, they shouldn’t behave like this.

“Have you found any new fragments of the god?”

Hearing Xinghui call it, the god’s fragment shot out from Xinghui’s body, sticking close to his cheek.

It seemed to be responding to Xinghui: “What’s up? I’m here!”

It was obviously more lively than when it only had two or three pieces.

Xinghui reached out and grabbed it, preventing it from running around, mainly to avoid it trying to hit Yuanyuan on the head again.

After all, the god’s fragment had never liked Yuanyuan, always trying to hit him whenever it got the chance.

“We haven’t received any new information. The Alliance hasn’t received any either, but they’ve had a major incident. The natural disaster on Mermaid Star was even more intense than on Lingyan Star. Recently, there’s been some panic on the Alliance’s StarNet. Some people have seen the Abyss’s main body looking dim, and now there are all sorts of speculations.”

The Abyss’s main body looking dim?

Xinghui looked at him.

The Abyss’s main body is near Splendid Star. Though called the main body, it’s actually a combination of countless cosmic forces, with a brilliant starlight. It has always been mysterious and hidden.

After all, after resisting the storms, the subsequent work was handed over to the gods, and the Abyss mostly interacted only with the gods.

This situation is indeed rare and unprecedented.

“While other aspects are difficult to judge accurately, one thing is certain: the Abyss’s power has indeed been affected by resisting the new natural disasters. I’ve already arranged for someone to keep an eye on the Alliance’s situation.”

Yuanyuan looked at the small tuft of hair, feeling a bit itchy.

Had it really grown?

Do the gods’ hair grow this fast?

Actually, it wasn’t just curiosity.

Mainly—he wanted to touch it.

Yuanyuan suppressed his restless heart and deliberately moved closer to Xinghui.

“I’ve sent a portion of the rice cakes and other items you tried earlier to your room, along with the nutrient solution you liked.”

Hearing about the rice cakes and nutrient solution, Xinghui quickly glanced at him.

Then he lowered his head, trying to appear reserved.

“Everything’s fine, nothing particularly special. You’re considerate.”

Despite saying this, the little god quickly put down the metal pen he was holding and tucked the god fragment into his arms.

Was it time to finish work?

If he went back to his room now, it shouldn’t attract much attention, right?

Yuanyuan watched Xinghui for a long time, noticing every little expression of the god.

At this moment, he was almost certain.

Xinghui indeed liked those things.

The first believer was very satisfied with his own devotion and sensitivity to the god.

If he could find a way to make Xinghui not always keep a stern face and smile a bit, it would be even better.

“I—”

Xinghui just started to speak, wanting to go back to his room.

The base’s door opened again.

“God, Boss, Officer Leng Rong is here.”

Leng Rong, who had previously returned to his own planet, followed closely behind someone and entered the room. His eyes lit up noticeably when he saw Xinghui.

Xinghui was a bit surprised by his return.

But after Leng Rong left, Xinghui also noticed the growing faith of these Demon Tribe members towards him.

“Why are you back?”

“God.”

His somewhat serious face relaxed a bit. He stood earnestly beside Xinghui, promptly and neatly kneeling on one knee, lowering his eyes in a gesture of loyalty.

“We also want to contribute to God Star’s Demon Tribe for you.”

Even if their faith wasn’t very strong, being part of the Demon Tribe meant they still had sufficient strength. Moreover, passing through various planets on the way back.

Although those Demon Tribe members still verbally expressed disbelief, seeing the god’s mental power gradually enveloping them, quietly and resolutely doing what he believed to be his duty, reducing the pollution bit by bit.

Even the Demon Tribe members with the deepest resentment towards the Abyss and the gods couldn’t say anything against him.

In the end, they awkwardly inquired about Xinghui.

Trust is built bit by bit.

After returning from Z72, Leng Rong understood this point even better and felt the connection between their faith and Xinghui’s power.

Besides that, there was also a profound sense of crisis.

The number of demons around the god was increasing. They hadn’t arrived particularly early, and now even those demons who had previously rejected God Star and couldn’t bring themselves to lower their pride were gradually approaching the god.

If they didn’t seize the opportunity now, there would be even less room for them around Xinghui in the future.

The young god wore a pitch-black uniform, standing tall and slender. Compared to other demons, he was relatively slim and delicate. A young demon, also slender and delicate, knelt devoutly before the god, holding the god’s fair fingertips and softly swearing his devotion.

Leng Rong’s build and height were not much different from Xinghui’s compared to other demons, making the scene harmonious, like a painting.

When Xinghui came to his senses and asked him to rise, the demons of God Star stared wide-eyed, like a pack of big dogs whose territory had been invaded.

Xiya couldn’t hold back.

“Enough already. Acting like he’s the only devout one, holding the god’s hand. None of us have done that—Boss, don’t you think?”

Instinctively, he turned to Yuanyuan for affirmation.

But just one look at Yuanyuan’s unpredictable expression startled Xiya.

Jealousy aside, they all worshipped Xinghui. Why did their boss seem genuinely angry?

Xiya’s voice instantly lowered.

“Boss?”

Yuanyuan responded briefly, eyes fixed on Xinghui. Only when Xinghui withdrew his hand did his expression relax a bit, but the next second, he saw Xinghui smiling at Leng Rong.

Just a moment ago, Yuanyuan had been racking his brain trying to make the little god smile.

And now—

Yuanyuan’s face showed a smile, but there was no laughter in his eyes, staring at Leng Rong, who had intercepted halfway.

Like a protective big dog, he had guarded Xinghui well, listening to everything he said, seemingly very obedient. But in reality, he would get angry if anyone else approached the ‘food’ he was guarding.

He was unaware of this himself.

Xinghui didn’t notice Yuanyuan’s expression behind him. Before he could say anything more, a demon’s report came from behind.

“God, Boss, the Alliance can’t suppress the public opinion on StarNet anymore. It looks like they’re about to release something.”

Xinghui’s eyelid twitched, and he quickly turned to walk over.

Leng Rong had already walked over to Yuanyuan.

Their eyes met.

“Officer Yu, if you have any orders, please feel free to instruct us.”

Leng Rong’s attitude was still very gentle.

“There’s nothing much right now. As the god’s most devout first follower, I naturally ensure everything is arranged properly so the god doesn’t have to worry.”

Yuanyuan gave a slight ‘polite’ smile.

Leng Rong also smiled.

He had long noticed the jealousy of the demons on God Star.

But there was no helping it. If it were them, they would probably feel the same.

The demon’s inherent nature couldn’t be changed.

He intentionally said, “We’re all devout. What’s the difference?”

Yuanyuan’s smile instantly vanished, and he looked at him expressionlessly.

Xiya, watching from the side, broke into a cold sweat.

Is this guy here to stir up trouble?!

Author’s Note:

Yuanyuan: I was here first. Why did you smile at him, darling, darling, darling?

The ‘food’ being protected – Xinghui: ?

—

I had some things to handle during the day, then I felt dizzy and disconnected from the world, had to lie down.

I’ll leave it here for now, take a break, and continue working hard later~ Big plot points are not far off~
