After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 69

If it were possible to settle scores later, Xinghui would really want to take these guys to task.

 

But clearly, the current environment imposed no constraints on them. Especially after the fake deity incident, the Alliance and the Splendid Star Royal Family’s prestige had completely collapsed. It was said that there were serious problems within the Alliance’s military, and now the Alliance and the Royal Family were merely retaining their titles.

 

No matter what orders they issued or what commands they required their teams to execute, there were very few teams that genuinely responded to them.

 

This situation had been evident since Mo Jiuze first brought the Alliance’s army against Xinghui. At that time, they were up against the true deity. Initially, these people could still convince themselves that their loyalty to their deity was worth it. But now, that last bit of reasoning was gone, and the instability became increasingly apparent.

 

The Alliance and the Royal Family, already struggling, found it even harder to manage these areas.

 

Moreover, some opportunists who had been thrown back by the demons and were trying to fish in troubled waters—those who had just a moment ago tried to enter the desolate star systems after pulling down Xinghui—now saw the star network in even more chaos, with interstellar emotions in upheaval.

 

Upon closer inspection, the biggest beneficiary was the organization calling itself the Firmament.

 

“There’s no need to worry about them,” Xinghui said, scanning the comments from those seemingly brainless individuals, then turning his attention back to Xiya. “Is this organization related to the mermaid race?”

 

“This organization started becoming active about four or five years ago. Tracing back, and with some earlier information, we can see a fairly complete route. They initially emerged on planets near the mermaid star, recruiting members. Later, they found it too difficult to find believers in the upper star systems, so they moved on to the more remote lower star systems. Over the years, they have developed quite well in the lower star systems.”

 

Xiya displayed the information on the screen.

 

“It seems that the Alliance had harbored great malice towards the Abyss and deities four or five years ago, and the only ones who acted to hinder deities from receiving faith were the mermaid race.”

 

Not to mention that this organization had clearly been collaborating near the mermaid star from the start.

 

“Can we locate their current position?”

 

Xinghui nodded.

 

“Since they are related and the mermaid race’s psychic energy can control space, they might not be in this star system right now. They could have used some other method to hide and are likely still plotting their so-called evolution. Given their recent activity—presumably, the mermaid race discovered the fake deity occupying the main position five years ago, enjoying all the faith without needing to impact the deities’ reception of faith. And now—”

 

The fake deity had been exposed in a very tragic situation. With the Alliance and Royal Family unable to stabilize the situation, he had also revealed himself, clearly targeting him.

 

Unfortunately, he didn’t trust the Alliance even if they didn’t do this; he wouldn’t receive their faith anyway.

 

But since they had surfaced, it meant they still had contact with the mermaid race.

 

This could serve as a breakthrough for them.

 

“We’re currently narrowing down their location. We can roughly determine they are in the area where the upper and lower star systems intersect. That area is not as remote as the lower star systems, which lack the ability to cause much disturbance, nor does it have the severe dependency on deities seen in the upper star systems. Many places are already in turmoil, so we still need to confirm their main base. Please give us a few more days. Also, Lord Deity, please take a good rest.”

 

From the search for divine fragments to the end of the storm, with only the mermaid race still active and Xinghui having just recovered from illness, so many things had happened in these few months. Xinghui had not had any downtime.

 

The demons were quite concerned.

 

A deity being too reliable could also be a problem!

 

Xinghui blinked.

 

Internally, it felt like a little person was nodding vigorously.

 

He was indeed still very tired, but he was used to pushing through and not showing his emotions. Since it was mentioned now, the little deity’s pretty face, which had been relatively expressionless, nodded lightly.

 

“Alright, I’ll rest for a few days and then head out to find the Firmament.”

 

“Understood.”

 

As Xinghui and Yuanyuan stepped out of the command center, Xiya and the others had more work to do.

 

The outside of the base was now quite lively. Xinghui pressed his temples, glanced outside, and was momentarily stunned.

 

There were no other demons around, only Yuanyuan. Xinghui’s voice involuntarily softened in the presence of Yuanyuan. It was as if, over time, he had become relaxed around Yuanyuan, revealing things he wouldn’t show to others. Since Yuanyuan didn’t ask or expose him, Xinghui didn’t bring it up, but gradually, he had become more at ease around him.

 

“What’s going on outside?”

 

“The growth of plants on the divine star is very slow, and there are no other plants or animals due to the heat light. Recently, the research lab developed a device to weaken the heat light, and experiments have been successful. We plan to test it next to the base. You can go outside for some fresh air without worrying about being sunburned.”

 

Yuanyuan, seemingly thinking of something, smiled.

 

The little deity was indeed very delicate and needed much care.

 

Since Xinghui’s return, the demons had indeed been changing gradually.

 

As a race most severely afflicted by genetic diseases, they were self-centered, deceitful, and not considerate of others. In other words, they had somewhat given up on themselves, focusing only on genetic diseases and military matters, never considering whether the environment on the divine star needed changing.

 

“Oh—”

 

Impressive.

 

Xinghui, not very knowledgeable about research, nodded.

 

Since they produced those nutrient solutions with various flavors, he had been greatly impressed by that department.

 

But now, he wanted to go back and rest properly.

 

Before he could take a step, the tall demon behind him swiftly picked him up.

 

The movement was so quick and the familiar breath so sudden that Xinghui was caught off guard. He instinctively grabbed Yuanyuan’s collar, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

 

“What are you doing—Yuanyuan, put me down.”

 

“Everyone has things to do now. No one else will see us on the way back. You must be very tired.”

 

Yuanyuan had already started walking forward, looking down to meet Xinghui’s gaze.

 

For the past few months, Yuanyuan had been almost constantly by Xinghui’s side, understanding his every move and meaning.

 

He had also noticed that the little deity didn’t seem as composed as usual.

 

But he had never mentioned it.

 

Today, however, Xinghui’s exhaustion was evident. His words during the recent report, both in quantity and tone, were different from before.

 

So much had happened recently, and he was indeed very tired.

 

With Xinghui’s fingers clutching his collar, Yuanyuan was pulled down slightly more, but he continued to walk at a steady pace toward Xinghui’s room.

 

The intense heat in Yuanyuan’s dark red eyes made Xinghui bite his lip.

 

Though his body temperature had already decreased, and the demon’s heat shouldn’t have affected him so quickly, he still felt a subtle sensation, as if his temperature had risen slightly.

 

But it was accompanied by a feeling of relaxation.

 

At this moment, it seemed less important to maintain divine authority, and it didn’t matter—

 

After all, Yuanyuan would keep it a secret.

 

Thinking of this, Xinghui glanced again at the face so close to him, especially Yuanyuan’s lips.

 

He always had a sarcastic and refined smile, and his speech carried a touch of sharpness. In reality, his lips were well-shaped and their color was appealing, looking quite soft.

 

It seemed that kissing him might be quite pleasant.

 

It had been so sudden, and he had been caught off guard. Now, thinking about it, they must be soft, right?

 

The little deity was expecting his first kiss.

 

Given the posture, he couldn’t help but pull on Yuanyuan’s collar a bit more, bringing him down.

 

“Almost there, just wait a moment—”

 

Yuanyuan had thought that Xinghui was dissatisfied.

 

After all, for a deity, being carried was usually under specific circumstances. If it were a normal situation, he would prefer to walk himself, even if it meant going slower.

 

But before he could finish speaking.

 

Xinghui propped himself up slightly, curiously and tentatively biting Yuanyuan’s upper lip.

 

Oh, it really was very soft.

 

Xinghui thought.

 

When he looked up again, he saw Yuanyuan’s eyes darken suddenly.

 

Almost instinctively, Xinghui’s heart skipped a beat.

 

Seeing his room from a distance, his fingers immediately relaxed, and he dropped down.

 

The deity’s face showed no emotion.

 

“Alright, we’re here. Let me down.”

 

Help! His expression looks like he’s about to devour a deity!

 

But didn’t he already dispel such doubts before receiving faith?!

 

Xinghui’s fingers subconsciously clutched the fabric of his clothes.

 

He was nervous inside.

 

But soon, his feet were on the ground.

 

Oh, pretending to be strong?

 

Xinghui wondered internally.

 

But then he thought, why worry about it so much? Although it was comfortable and curious, why had he tried to bite his lip for confirmation?

 

Before the little deity could take a step into the room, a large hand hooked around his waist.

 

Yuanyuan almost single-handedly lifted Xinghui, pressing him against the wall.

 

The next moment, the demon’s intense heat enveloped him.

 

“Yu… Yuanyuan…”

 

Xinghui struggled to hold his face, trying to calm him down.

 

“You started it.”

 

The man’s actions were swift, but his tone was languid.

 

He even seemed somewhat justified.

 

“Ah—be gentler, don’t bite me like a dog—”

 

Xinghui gasped and slapped Yuanyuan’s cheek.

 

But he quickly began to lose control.

 

Just then, from around the corner, came the chattering voices of a few little demons.

 

Xinghui snapped back to reality.

 

**Author’s Note:**

 

Yuanyuan: Opportunity, opportunity! My wife gave me a chance; if I don’t seize it, I’m not a man!

 

Xinghui: He wants to eat a deity! He really wants to eat a deity!!

We’ll continue tomorrow. There’s still some content to push the plot forward. Sleep early, everyone. Good night.

 

Love you all!
