After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 59
These guys are all pretty annoyed.
The minor deity watched, then withdrew his gaze, unable to resist the slight urge to smirk.
To be honest, he wasn’t really angry, just a little sentimental.
After all, when he left the Brilliant Star, he never expected to come back in just a few months.
And the race he had originally thought he would protect through his own efforts had turned into the formidable Demon Clan.
He could easily sense the Demon Clan’s concern for him.
So he had to work harder.
The minor deity suppressed his emotions and carefully observed Yuejian’s condition.
Meanwhile, on the high platform.
Mo Jiuze then explained the significance of this celebration, with more broadcasting equipment focused on the royal family than during the visit to Carp Star. The entire Alliance was focused on this divine celebration.
The aftermath of the storm was too strong. All races had been living in a mix of admiration for the deities and struggle against genetic diseases for years. Add to that the recent natural disasters, including the major one in the Mermaid Galaxy, and the appearance of the dark-haired deity, and many people lived in fear, afraid that the next major disaster would target their galaxy.
Everyone needed the deities to calm their nerves.
Yuejian walked towards the severely ill genetic disease patients amidst everyone’s anticipation.
His complexion was obviously much better than before, and in recent days, he had treated many critically ill patients with the divine fragments, watching their vitality return under his care. With so many such cases, he had gained great confidence.
Along with these people speaking out on the Star Network, praise for him soared. Old praises were dug up again, and emaciated patients regained their vigor, singing songs of golden hope. It was hard not to be moved by such scenes, and doubts or questions seemed to disappear completely in these few days.
With a gentle smile, Yuejian’s golden eyes and golden hair shone brightly in the light.
The golden deity’s expression was gentle and soft. Faced with such a grand scene, he was different from Xinghui, appearing completely unaffected.
Facing these believers looking at him, Yuejian’s tone remained gentle and soft.
“Don’t be afraid.”
That pretty, soft face was projected onto the screen, making him seem to glow.
Xinghui could already hear the voices of the people nearby.
“You see, our deity is different from those others, always so gentle with us. Compared to those cold deities, this one obviously makes people more comfortable, right?”
“Yes, when I see Prince Yuejian, I just feel a strong protective instinct, but I don’t feel anything at all towards the dark-haired deity.”
One can imagine what kind of conversations were taking place on the Alliance’s live streaming platform at this moment.
Xinghui’s attention was now on Yuejian, watching the divine fragments around Yuejian fly out and spin around him.
That gentle light flowed from Yuejian’s fingertips.
The movement was indeed significant.
The light shimmered, and the decorative plants around were affected by Yuejian’s power, beginning to spread outwards. Buds emerged from the vines, blossoming into delicate flowers, filling the air with a fragrant aroma.
Under this fragrance, people visibly relaxed, especially the severely ill patients.
Wu Chu looked at the scene before him.
He couldn’t help but mutter softly.
“It seems like these divine fragments are quite powerful.”
He couldn’t help but glance again at the handsome young man standing beside him.
“Do you feel any better?”
He asked in a low voice.
“These divine fragments seem really powerful. I heard that Lord Xinghui didn’t have any divine abilities at all before and only dared to confront the Abyss with the divine fragments. Now, it seems that Prince Yuejian is similar…”
He said, feeling a little uncomfortable, as if he had just tried to promote something he thought was better, only to be met with a slap in the face. At this moment, he was afraid that Xinghui would think he had malicious intentions.
“So it seems like you’re okay on either side. Just forget what I said earlier; it was just idle talk. Of course, if you’re interested, you can still contact me. My intuition still makes me trust Lord Xinghui more, especially since their policies seem more suitable for us…”
Wu Chu rambled nervously.
Xinghui actually didn’t pay much attention to his words.
At this moment, the minor deity could directly see the stiffly rotating divine fragments.
Although there was indeed the power of divine fragments inside, there was something definitely—
“This isn’t right,” Xinghui spoke, softly uttering these words.
“What?” Wu Chu was a bit bewildered.
Xinghui lifted his eyelids and quickly glanced at Wu Chu, who seemed nervous, perhaps because he thought Xinghui was undermining Yuejian’s faith.
It was really tough for the kid to say such things at a divine celebration specifically held for Yuejian.
Look at how scared he was.
But it had to be said, his intuition was indeed accurate.
If he said similar things to others in the audience, he would probably be beaten up by now.
Xinghui glanced at Yuanyuan, wanting to tell him that the divine fragments didn’t seem real, so there was no need to fight for them.
But before he could do so, he noticed the demons gathering together, seemingly discussing something.
And the next moment, ‘boom—’ a loud sound echoed, causing the ground to shake.
Yuanyuan had already quickly hooked Xinghui’s body.
“What’s going on?!”
“What happened? Is it a natural disaster coming?!”
People around panicked.
Wu Chu was also startled, his eyes widened in horror, nervously muttering.
“A natural disaster? It doesn’t seem right. There are too many people here, and we don’t know what type of disaster it is. It’s too dangerous for us to be exposed here. Let’s find a place to hide first.”
Wu Chu was pale with fear, but apparently, he hadn’t forgotten his intuition about being a ‘good brother’ to Xinghui, nervously reaching out to grab his hand.
Then he grabbed nothing.
Wu Chu looked up to see Yuanyuan already pulling Xinghui several steps away.
This steward seemed quite experienced; even in such a situation, he calmly adjusted his young master’s clothes.
Adjusting clothes?
Wu Chu: …
Do you guys even know what kind of dire situation we’re in right now?!
Xinghui blinked.
Looking at Yuanyuan’s nonchalant face.
“You guys move too fast.”
Xinghui couldn’t help but sigh.
Even though he knew what had happened, he couldn’t help but marvel at the demons’ efficiency.
In their plan, although the main goal was to confirm the authenticity of the divine fragments and to reveal that they were fake, thus confirming that someone was working behind the scenes, they hadn’t planned to let the Alliance off the hook.
The more the Alliance tried to suppress the news, the more he wanted to make sure they couldn’t suppress it.
The shaking was caused by the explosion of the Alliance laboratory under the invasion of the demons.
After this explosion, those things would be presented right in front of them, not just in the form of videos and paper records.
The Alliance would be even more chaotic by then.
Yuanyuan was searching for something on the scene.
Hearing this, he curved his lips slightly.
“If it weren’t for the need to wait for you to take a look at the divine fragments, this sound would have gone off when this guy first appeared.”
At this point, Mo Jiuze had quickly restored order.
And the shaking had stopped.
The royal family and the Alliance have obviously received the news and know that someone tampered with the Alliance laboratory in secret.
Previous reports were spread on the Star Network and only related to the exacerbation of genetic diseases. After shifting attention away, they were quickly suppressed. But now, without a doubt, it was the demons who made the move. Even though various research in the laboratory was being transferred at the moment, what was exposed still posed a challenge for them.
They had just calmed the public’s emotions, stating that there was a problem with a building within the Alliance, and now the Alliance troops had been dispatched to deal with the situation.
People looked at the slightly gloomy sky, with some lingering fear in their hearts. But after the shaking, there was no further response, and everyone remained seated, still uncertain.
The divine celebration continued.
The genetic disease patients in front of Yuejian were trembling as they struggled to rise, expressing their gratitude to Yuejian for their faith.
The golden-haired deity smiled gently. It was at this moment that someone burst in from outside.
The person was short, holding something in their hand.
“Scammer, big scammer!”
They cried out, throwing what they had in their hand at Yuejian.
Yuanquan, who was standing behind Yuejian, quickly moved to block the stone thrown by the person.
There was a noticeable mark of mud on Yuanquan’s white military uniform.
His expression turned grim.
A child rushed in from somewhere, and his sudden arrival, coupled with his loud cries, caught the guards off guard. They quickly subdued the crying child and pushed him aside.
The commotion caused by the child was too great, and with all the broadcast equipment focused on Yuejian, his entrance was also broadcasted across the entire Star Network.
Some people already found him familiar.
And as Xinghui heard Yuanyuan laugh softly beside him, he spoke up.
“He really came.”
It turned out to be Eevee from the Tree Spirit Clan.
Xinghui turned his head to look at him.
“Why is he here?”
“Didn’t some of our kin already infiltrate here and prepare to take action? It just so happened that when the Alliance didn’t want this kid to spread rumors everywhere, and since the Tree Spirit Clan wanted to please the Brilliant Star, they had the Brilliant Star bring this kid back. Because he didn’t cooperate, they locked him up. We only discovered this now, just before the laboratory exploded, he was taken out, and then thrown near the square. With so many people outside at the moment, when no one was sure what was happening, panicked people would subconsciously choose to go where they thought they could be rescued, which is here. These guards were just busy dealing with the situation, and he took advantage of the opportunity to run in.”
Yuanyuan’s voice was very low.
One wave after another, indeed.
Xinghui couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Eevee was firmly controlled by the guards and continued to cry and struggle, accusing Yuejian of being a liar who killed his brother, his only family.
Yuejian’s face looked ugly, but in front of so many cameras, he still forced himself to remain gentle.
“Eevee, it was an accident. It won’t happen again now. You’re already living on the Brilliant Star, and things will only get better in the future. You have to live well for your family.”
“Liar! You’re a big liar! You said you could cure my brother!”
Eevee continued to cry and struggle, looking even more frail than before.
However, if it were at any other time, this appearance would probably have garnered sympathy from many people. But at the moment when Yuejian had just treated these severely ill genetic disease patients, there was no discussion from the surrounding people.
“Didn’t Lord Yuejian already say that it was an accident? At that time, Lord Yuejian didn’t have any divine fragments. Your brother had already been saved by Lord Yuejian before. Don’t hurt Lord Yuejian’s heart by saying such things again, okay?”
“Lord Yuejian has already tried to help you. You’re now living on the Brilliant Star, right? People need to look forward. Lord Yuejian won’t let such things happen again now. We sympathize with you, but isn’t this a good result now?”
It was the severely ill genetic disease patients who spoke up.
When the situation on Carp Star was broadcasted on the Star Network, there were quite a few people who knew Eevee. These words fell into Eevee’s ears.
The young boy looked at them, tears streaming down his face.
“No, it’s not true—”
Faced with his brother’s death, the abandonment of his tribe once again, and the exposure of his second uncle’s true colors, he seemed to finally remember something amidst everyone’s words and deception.
“If we hadn’t gone to Carp Star, my brother wouldn’t have had any problems—besides, my brother was already dying at that time, just like those Carp Star people you saved to death. You didn’t save my brother at all, it was Lord Xinghui—”
Amidst all the abandonment, only the black-haired deity remained calm and quiet from start to finish, briefly supporting his sky.
But he got it wrong from the beginning and lost it.
“Regardless of how you might lock me up later, I’ll still continue to call you a liar. You’re a liar, all of you are liars. You never cared about the lives of our lower star systems.”
The young boy’s voice was hoarse, full of regret.
Although the young boy was quickly pushed back while being suppressed, his voice still spread to every corner of the Star Network.
Yuejian’s expression turned completely ugly when he heard the name “Xinghui.”
Although the guards quickly subdued the young boy as he retreated, his voice still spread throughout the Star Network’s corners.
Yuejian could clearly feel that some people were looking at him strangely.
But it was the genetic disease patients who spoke up first.
“Don’t be sad—we all know it was an accident.”
Yuejian forced a smile.
“Don’t worry, such things won’t happen again in the future. I’ll only get stronger—”
Strong enough to protect you.
He hadn’t finished his sentence when the sky grew even darker.
Then there was another loud bang.
Xinghui raised his hand.
Was it… raining?
Next to him, Wu Chu was trembling even more.
“I, I just feel something’s wrong, a disaster, this is definitely a disaster! An, I think we should leave here quickly, I have a bad feeling.”
A disaster striking Brilliant Star?
Xinghui also felt that something was amiss.
The spiritual power within Xinghui’s body had already begun to circulate rapidly.
And Yuanquan and Mojiu probably also received the message.
Both of their faces looked particularly grim.
“Look at the sky!”
Someone shouted inside the venue.
Aside from the rain, small stones were falling from the sky.
Although these stones were usually only as big as half a palm, with the rain, their speed was very fast.
They pelted everything with crackling sounds.
“It’s a disaster—stone rain!”
The sky grew even darker, and the once bustling Brilliant Star was destroyed by these unstoppable stones in an instant.
Unlike the meteor showers Xinghui encountered before, these stones were even harder to detect and faster, usually accompanied by severe pollution. Among them were also large chunks of rocks. Such a storm hitting any planet would be nearly devastating.
Everyone panicked and screamed, searching for a place to hide.
All the members of the Great Witch Clan were also screaming in panic.
Wu Chu hugged his head.
“Help! Don’t hit me, don’t hit me! Ahhh! I knew something was wrong with this trip! You guys just don’t want me as the young clan leader, damn old man!”
Their position was relatively close to the front, and they couldn’t avoid it for a while. Just as Wu Chu was about to resign himself to fate, a hand forcefully pulled him in a direction.
The noise in his ears diminished significantly.
He looked up in confusion.
He saw that the other members of the Great Witch Clan, who were scrambling like him, were being dragged back one by one by Xinghui’s colorful guards.
It was quite a coincidence that the one who grabbed him this time was the blond-haired guard.
“Quiet down.”
Xinghui stood nearby.
The demons around him held defensive devices in their hands.
At this moment, the defense devices erected a barrier, blocking the falling rocks from the sky one by one.
Who brings defense equipment to a divine celebration!
Wu Chu stared in amazement at the scene before him.
Then he looked at his clan members behind him and the others fleeing in panic around him.
Compared to these spectators, they were skillfully making their way to safety.
Impressive!
Wu Chu praised himself for the quick thinking that brought them here.
Forget why this little planet had defense equipment to resist natural disasters, the first thing was to turn to the fellow clansmen who had come with him.
“I told you my intuition was spot on! I saw An from the starship below, and I just had this feeling that I had to make friends with him!”
Almost being hit and even unlucky enough to be killed by the falling debris, the elder members of the clan praised him with thumbs up.
A young clan leader was still a clan leader; indeed, very impressive!
Looking at a beauty is truly the right thing to do! You should look at more in the future!
Abyss was nearby, and Xinghui didn’t have the courage to confront Abyss casually. At this moment, he was leading the demon clan and the group of elder clan members to retreat to a less conspicuous position.
In theory, with Abyss nearby and the disaster happening on Radiant Star, it shouldn’t have a severe impact. But now, Xinghui’s unease grew stronger, as if something big was about to happen.
This made Xinghui feel very uncomfortable, and his heart was pounding with anxiety.
He was solemnly observing the disaster.
Then Xinghui overheard the whispering of the elder clan members.
For a moment, Xinghui was speechless.
Why did he always end up with these strangely wired individuals around him?
Is now the time to be saying these things??
Meanwhile, Yuanyuan squinted his brown eyes beside him.
“I really don’t understand this race with such strong intuition.”
Xinghui agreed with this statement.
After Wu Chu came to his senses, he quickly reassured Xinghui.
“It’s okay, An, the divine entities are still here, and Abyss is nearby. Believe that this disaster will be over soon. Prince Yu is now in possession of divine fragments, so this kind of disaster should be manageable.”
But he had just finished speaking.
“That divine fragment is about to give way—”
The voice of the youth was calm and steady.
What?
Wu Chu didn’t react at once.
“Look.”
Xinghui raised his hand, pointing his fair fingertip towards the direction of Prince Yu.
Wu Chu subconsciously followed Xinghui’s direction.
Prince Yu was standing in the center of the high platform, surrounded by the Emperor, the Council Chairman, as well as the Chief Guards and the Commanders, guarding him.
The divine fragments around him were swirling around him, and Prince Yu seemed to be trying to erect a divine barrier like Xinghui.
But under the onslaught of the falling rocks.
Wu Chu slowly widened his eyes.
The light golden divine fragment began to crack slowly from one place, and the cracks grew wider and wider.
Soon, Prince Yu also noticed, and his expression turned to one of horror.
“How could this—?”
Wu Chu was completely panicked at this moment.
“Can’t the divine fragments withstand the disaster?”
At this moment, the sky changed again.
The originally overcast sky suddenly darkened, stars appeared overhead, twinkling and changing. A barrier suddenly rose, blocking the rain of rocks outside Radiant Star.
The sound of falling rocks disappeared, replaced by the enchanting murmurs of Abyss.
Abyss had arrived.
At the same time, Wu Chu only heard Xinghui speak in his ear.
“It’s not that the divine fragments can’t withstand the disaster, it’s because that’s not a genuine divine fragment.”
“It’s not a genuine divine fragment.”
There aren’t many people in the entire galaxy who have truly seen divine fragments, right? Not to mention a small nobleman from a backwater place.
Why would he know?
Before Wu Chu could ponder this answer,
In his panic, Yuejian seemed to have finally found his backbone when he saw Abyss.
“Mother!”
He anxiously grasped the divine fragment that had developed a crack.
His expression was blank, puzzled as to why the divine fragment was cracking.
The voice of Abyss grew increasingly frequent as she pulled out a light golden divine fragment from her own power. The fragment appeared livelier, seemingly wanting to escape as soon as it was released by Abyss’s power, but it was firmly controlled by her and sent towards Yuejian.
“What is that?”
Yuanyuan stared intently at the divine fragment being carried by Abyss’s power.
“That’s real.”
Xinghui quickly spoke up.
“Abyss didn’t appear immediately earlier, so she must have gone out to search for divine fragments.”
What should they do? Should they snatch it?
Xinghui looked at the true divine fragment struggling in Abyss’s power, feeling a bit panicked. Seeing that it was about to be handed to Yuejian, it struggled even harder, as if about to cry.
And Xinghui’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
If he heard correctly,
Abyss was coaxing Yuejian, telling him it didn’t hurt, not to cry—
But why say it didn’t hurt or to cry?
Yuejian clearly wasn’t injured.
But as Xinghui watched Yuejian reach for the divine fragment, he spoke coldly, his mental power already poised.
“Snatch it while chaos ensues.”
And it was at that moment that the sky rumbled once again.
The rain of rocks, blocked by Abyss, showed no sign of stopping, but instead grew stronger. Purple-red light began to spread from the other end of the sky, staining Abyss.
The sky seemed to tear apart, and the sounds of uncontrollable beasts could be heard in the distance, followed by violent tremors.
This ominous power widened Xinghui’s eyes.
“This is—”
The sky seemed to split open, and the purple-red contamination attacked. All the disasters were launched, unmistakably—
the characteristic of a cosmic storm.
The storm suddenly reappeared, and under such an attack, with Abyss’s power already waning, the power restraining the divine fragment loosened. In full view of everyone, instead of obediently being handed to Yuejian, the divine fragment fled from Abyss’s power in front of Yuejian and hesitated in the air, as if determining its direction.
Wu Chu hadn’t figured out what was happening yet, but looking at the abnormalities in the sky and feeling the ground shaking beneath his feet, his already uneasy feeling now seemed to be confirmed.
“What’s going on? Why has the sky changed? And… are the divine fragments rushing towards us???”
