Chapter 371: Chapter 238: The Strongest Evil God, Split into Seven (Additional update for the reward from the great Dongfang Wufei)

So where was the eighth Evil God?

A hint of suspicion flashed through Qin Chu’s mind.

But he didn’t have time to carefully ponder anything, the oracle was still ongoing, and he couldn’t afford to miss even a single word...

Well, actually, this Fire God was a bit long-winded; missing a few words wouldn’t really matter. He seemed to have completely abandoned the so-called demeanor of deities , and in his own way... a rather verbose way, he began recounting everything that had happened.

From these words, one could also sense that this deity had a rather fiery temper and a somewhat careless character, quite different from what people imagined. He actually referred to that female deity as a God Stick, completely forgetting that he himself was also a divine being.

"That guy, always babbling about divine matters, saying she has glimpsed this or that... Never speaks clearly about anything, preferring to be a riddler. And yet, those other guys unquestioningly believe whatever that woman says."

It was clear that the Fire God’s dissatisfaction with that Goddess had been longstanding.

"She says she has glimpsed our destiny, that even if we were to flee this world, our apocalypse would still inevitably come."

"The only path we had was rebellion; only through defiance could we bring a glimmer of hope to our world, though nearly all the Gods would fall."

"She even dared to ask if we were willing to abandon our loyal believers? What a joke, I couldn’t care less about those insignificant humans on land, those believers, I don’t care about them at all."

"They’re like ants, not worth mentioning, but I do agree with that God Stick on one point."

"Not for those insignificant believers, purely because I can’t stand those eight arrogant beings, watch me turn them all to ash..."

"The divine conflict, it began."

"That God Stick, she had us focus on the strongest one."

"Haha, exhilarating, that guy was really strong. The Water God was killed by him, the Lord of Storm was also crushed by him, the soul of the Ice God was shattered, and shadows were gobbled up in obscurity... However, those Evil Gods were truly amusing, They didn’t care at all about their comrade being surrounded, they even seemed to enjoy watching this scene from afar, as if They were actually looking forward to us taking down their fellow."

"His body was as immense as a planet..."

"He seemed to have an endless supply of energy... His breath alone could shatter meteors."

"So many comrades have died, deities fell from the sky like meteors, their blood spilling across the land."

"Where is hope? I can’t see it."

"It doesn’t matter, I don’t care."

"As long as I can fight, hahaha, I burned off all the mane on that guy, hair and beard, and eyebrows... Damn, that guy’s body was just too hard."

"How long did we fight? I don’t know, I only know there are fewer and fewer comrades left around me."

"Finally, we won."

"At the cost of almost all the lives of the deities, we finally killed that guy."

"His body was split into seven parts, the head, limbs, torso, and heart, scattered across the continent; his blood dyed the oceans red. The only regret is not knowing whether his soul was completely shattered. It should have been crushed, right?"

"My energy, too, is almost spent."

"This damned thing, had to howl right before dying, completely shattered my soul, such unlucky bastards."

"My task is already complete, but now, with only the Holy Light and Her left, along with seven Evil Gods, does this world really still have hope?"

"The destiny She has glimpsed, is it really without fault?"

"Does this world, still have a future?"

"Although I’ve always disliked that guy, but... in the end, let me believe in you just this once, Moile. Don’t let me down!"

"As for my followers, it doesn’t matter anymore, live freely. From now on, you won’t be bound by any deity. Do whatever you please, or perhaps turn to other surviving deities. I don’t care, really."

"And to my successor, I can only leave you with one piece of advice, pursue the Holy Light... that was what Moile, that God Stick, said. Although I’ve always disliked him, I must admit that his foresight into destiny has seldom been wrong. If you really can’t withstand the impact of the Authority, then... give it up."

"The responsibility is too heavy for you."

In the end of the oracle, the Fire God seemed to have completely stopped caring about his own image, swearing and ranting, one can imagine he was in a very bad mood.

After all, having finally killed the Strongest Evil God, only to have one’s soul shattered at the very end would make anyone upset.

However, it could be seen that the Fire God was a bit tsundere.

Although he repeatedly claimed not to care about insignificant believers, in the final moments of his life, he still thought about those insignificant people. It didn’t matter if they turned to other deities, he just hoped his believers would continue to live well.

Even to his successor, he clearly indicated that if they couldn’t bear it, then they should give up.

Just by listening to the oracle, one could almost picture a sturdy figure with a bushy beard, but with a warm heart, a big brother-like figure.

Maybe he was rough around the edges, but he really was a fairly decent deity. The people of the Flame Temple were perhaps fortunate to have such a deity to believe in.

Because of the Fire God’s rambling nature, the oracle was quite long.

But within this lengthy oracle, Qin Chu extracted some very important information.

The divine war a thousand years ago was a conflict between the local gods of Sky Dome Continent and the foreign Evil Gods.

The local gods were numerous, but the Evil Gods were only eight, yet absolutely powerful.

If all the Evil Gods had attacked at once, the local gods of Sky Dome Continent would have had virtually no bargaining power, but there also seemed to be discord among the Evil Gods themselves, especially the strongest one. The other seven seemed quite happy to see the local gods of Sky Dome Continent attack that being.

They even hoped that that guy would be taken down so they could come out and snatch the fruits of victory afterward.

In fact, they did succeed.

The strongest existence, under the siege of numerous gods, had its body divided into many parts, scattered across the Sky Dome Continent. The land and the oceans were dyed red with its blood, and its soul must have been crushed as well.

Thus, He sent all gods of the Sky Dome Continent, except for those of destiny and Holy Light, into oblivion, truly deserving the name of the Strongest Evil God.

What They did not expect was that one of the last two surviving goddesses, the Holy Light Goddess, would be so powerful. After the great battle, she could still fight one against seven. Though trapped in the Void, They could not kill Her. They could only suppress Her with all their might, dragging the seven Evil Gods in the Void for over a thousand years.

The other surviving goddess, referred to by the Fire God as God Stick Moile, seemed to be a goddess in control of destiny. She didn’t seem to have much combat power but had a pair of eyes that could see through the future.

Combining the information left in the soul fragments by the First Generation Jie Luo, hunting destiny was also one of the missions of the Second Generation Jie Luo.

This goddess in control of destiny appeared to be manipulating everything from the shadows, arranging and guiding all things.

The Fiery Flame Witch inherited the Divine Authority of the Fire God. Despite the oracle that she could give up if she couldn’t hold on, the Fiery Flame Witch clearly didn’t choose to do so. She’d rather go mad than let the Divine Authority cease to exist.

Qin Chu took a long breath out.

In his mind, the voice of the Fire God still echoed.

It seemed as though he could see that war from a thousand years ago, the battle between gods.

The blood of the gods rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour.

The bodies of the gods, like shooting stars, streaked across the heavens.

With a step, the earth cracked.

With a raise of the hand, the stars fell.

That must be what true Strength is.

The gods that had always guided the Sky Dome Continent disappeared in that moment.

A sorrow unbidden took hold of his heart.

After a while, Qin Chu finally opened his eyes to see Shaye, Antia, and Helois looking at him with concern.

Ever since the Fiery Flame Witch threw herself onto Qin Chu, he had not moved an inch, his body just trembling slightly. They did not know what Qin Chu had experienced and could only sense a very melancholic aura emanating from him.

Qin Chu managed to lift the corners of his mouth and gave a smile to the girls, indicating he was alright.

"The Holy Light I’ve been chasing after has finally appeared."

In his mind, an unfamiliar voice arose.

It was the Fiery Flame Witch.

Her voice was filled with calmness, as well as weakness.

"Now, I can finally leave everything to you and rest for a while."

"For more than a thousand years..."

"So tired!"

Qin Chu could feel a bundle of flames inside him rapidly weakening, as if they could be extinguished at any moment.

A millennia of long years had already left her soul utterly exhausted.

Qin Chu knew that once this flame was extinguished, there would be no more chances to ignite it, and the inheritor of the Fire God from a thousand years ago would be truly dead.

"If you’re tired, rest well inside my body," Qin Chu said quietly in his mind. "Perhaps because of the Holy Light, my body can nourish the soul, which might be of some help to you."

"Don’t you want to see the hope and future of this world for the god you worship?"

The flame inside him seemed to flicker slightly at the question.

"Hope and future?"

Her voice carried a hint of perplexity: "Is there any?"

"Yes, probably," Qin Chu smiled. "But if you close your eyes now, then there will be nothing, right?"

"I am just a tattered soul scarred by the fierce flames, I don’t even have a body," the Fiery Flame Witch said with a voice tinged with suppression and sadness.

In the state of a Fire Spirit, she still possessed powerful Strength.

But this state made one prone to madness. With Qin Chu’s Holy Light suppressing it now, it was manageable, but once distanced, she would destroy everything, especially when in contact with the Divine Authority.

"By the way, Holy Daughter, I still don’t know your name..." Qin Chu suddenly changed the subject.

The Fiery Flame Witch was a bit puzzled by Qin Chu’s change of subject but still thought for a while before giving an answer: "Phil!"

"Miss Phil, huh..."

Qin Chu slightly smiled, his hands opened in front of him, and a row of Magic Images appeared before him, like a row of full-body photos.

There, were Catherine, Asina, Rose Vesper, Aileen, Aili, Silf, Saint Monica...

"Which of these bodies do you like?"
