Chapter 1584: Chapter 1585: Goddess Luo Shen

All living beings inherently possess Spiritual Power, and the people originating from this land, the Human Clan, are undoubtedly a race blessed by heaven and earth.

No matter how much the Age of Dharma Decline has impacted the ordinary people, they have always been the race with the highest potential, without any equal.

This unique attribute is what inevitably led to the existence of living sacrifices, a method of Cultivation that infringes on human rights. After the end of the Three Emperors period, it even became the most sought-after method of Cultivation within the Human Clan.

In that era where power was revered, no one considered the significance of the weak’s existence, and the fate of humanity once reached a point of over-exploitation.

As restrictions from Heaven’s Gate gradually emerged, and nature’s spiritual energy dramatically decreased, living sacrifices became no longer just a simple matter of mortgaging the future.

The higher difficulty of Cultivation required more human lives, and of course, there would be those who stop at nothing to continue using living sacrifices as their means of Cultivation.

But for the majority of Cultivators who had seen the dead end of this practice, it was already deemed a forbidden technique. Up to today, Su Chengyu had only seen such methods used by the Demonic Path and the Demon Clan.

Therefore, it was a startling realization to discover why this abandoned temple existed, and why it was forsaken.

"You... you..."

"This question has been asked three times already. Whether you choose to believe I’m an Immortal or merely regard me as a foreigner is irrelevant. What’s important is..."

Su Chengyu stopped mid-sentence and turned to the boy, speaking earnestly, "Do you want to be the offering that the village sacrifices to the so-called Luo Shui deity, or do you want to live on by your own will?"

The words, clearly targeted, caused the boy to frown, then he quickly spoke up, "The goddess would never do what you say! You are all wrong, you are mistaken, and so are the people in the village!"

"Hmm?"

Su Chengyu blinked at the boy’s strange behavior and then glanced at him, soon after speaking in realization.

"She didn’t kill you, did she?"

The boy looked up at Su Chengyu in surprise and asked, "How do you know?"

Su Chengyu smiled and then softly spoke, "I’m not stupid. Didn’t you mention it happened a year ago? If you’re still alive, wouldn’t that mean there was a mishap?"

"It’s not a mishap! Luo Shen never intended to kill me. She is not a deity who needs sacrifices from the village!"

"Is that so?"

Su Chengyu glanced at the boy without refuting, but he understood that this was just the boy’s one-sided view.

The fact that the boy chosen as a sacrifice was still alive did indeed surprise Su Chengyu, but the dense stench of blood in the temple couldn’t have accumulated from one or two human lives alone.

Luoshui Village, in the thousands of years of its existence, must have sacrificed at least hundreds or even more than a thousand people.

It is because of such repeated acts that this temple has become the place it is now, filled with heavy yin energy. As for this boy in front of him...

Su Chengyu suddenly thought of something and looked up at the boy, urgently speaking, "Have you ever seen this so-called Luo Shen?"

"Why should I tell you?"

The stubborn boy retorted.

Su Chengyu’s expression slightly furrowed, and he instantly raised his hand, causing the boy’s figure to float into the air. He tried to struggle, but found he couldn’t do anything at all.

Facing the unknown fear, this mere ten-year-old boy was so scared that he wet his pants in midair.

"You do not have to answer my question, but having received someone else’s kindness, you should at least maintain due respect. If you don’t even understand this much, it hardly matters whether you are alive or dead; either way, it’s just a life lived in vain."

It wasn’t a threat, nor a warning—Su Chengyu’s words left the boy somewhat confused.

As the boy wondered what exactly Su Chengyu was trying to do, the surroundings changed once again, and in the next second, they were back inside the abandoned temple.

Su Chengyu glanced at the youth with the corner of his eye and finally spoke, "Since you’ve been lucky enough to survive, hurry up and leave. Not everyone will spare your life like that Luo Shen goddess you’ve met."

After dropping these words, Su Chengyu turned around, intending to leave the abandoned temple. Watching Su Chengyu’s resolute figure, the youth who had been on guard against this outsider finally couldn’t help but speak up.

"Wait a moment!"

"What is it?"

Su Chengyu stopped in his tracks and asked.

The youth, seeing Su Chengyu’s attitude change somewhat, mustered his courage and said: "Do you know the Luo Shen goddess?"

Su Chengyu, who was almost certain that the Luo Shen goddess mentioned by the youth was the one he had been thinking about incessantly, took a deep breath and slowly said.

"I have come for her."

"Has Luo Shen goddess encountered trouble?"

The youth asked somewhat nervously, appearing very concerned.

Seeing this, Su Chengyu was even more certain that the youth’s survival up to now was due to the exceptional kindness shown by that Luo Shen goddess.

And the only person he could think of from the Luo Clan who would do such superfluous acts was Xu Nanzhi.

"I want to strip off all her titles and that so-called damned fate."

There was no need for Su Chengyu to mention these things to this naive youth, but seeing the reverence in the youth’s eyes that bordered on awe, Su Chengyu still ended up speaking his thoughts.

After all, the figure that the youth admired and longed for was exactly what Xu Nanzhi desperately wished to shed.

"Does the Luo Shen goddess think the same?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu chuckled lightly then retorted: "Do you want to die?"

The youth instinctively shook his head.

"That’s right, to some extent, the Luo Shen goddess in your eyes and yourself are the same, both merely chosen sacrifices."

The radical words shook the youth deeply, unable to imagine that the Luo Shen goddess who had spared him was merely playing the same role as himself.

Recollecting everything Su Chengyu had done since his arrival, as well as that pitying gaze which surpassed all else from the Luo Shen goddess before she left a year ago, the youth took a deep breath and said: "Is there anything I can do to help Luo Shen goddess?"

"You?"

Su Chengyu chuckled lightly, then gestured forward saying: "Go this way, head due south, and if your will is strong enough, you should be able to reach the nearest village. Once there, contact the local Dragon Soul Department and say you’re from Luoshui Village. Someone will be responsible for the rest of your life. Remember not to go back to the village again."

Since Xu Nanzhi chose to save him, Su Chengyu had shown him a path to life. As for how far he could go in the end, it still depended on the youth himself.

And watching Su Chengyu about to turn away and leave, the youth seemed to make a firm decision at that moment.

"I know where the Luo Shen goddess went last."

"Where?"

The youth looked at Su Chengyu, who turned his head instantly, took a deep breath and said: "I can tell you, and I can even tell you everything I know about the village, but you must tell me about the Luo Shen goddess!"

"Fine."

A genuine smile finally appeared on Su Chengyu’s face.

Good deeds beget good outcomes. Having suffered in ways most ordinary people never have, in the face of this dead-end, Nan Zhi ultimately reaped her good karma.
