Chapter 361: 359 "Don’t do that anymore."_2

This is why Jade became a "Resentful Spirit Seeking Happiness."

It was precisely because Jade wandered the world, observing all walks of life and enhancing her own rationality, that she was sometimes adopted by people and sometimes targeted, ultimately disappearing from sight due to her continuous journeys.

As for those with malicious intent, their horrific deaths were probably because, though Jade lacked strength, as the half body of Evil God Lilith who presided over evil and chaos, Lilith’s authority would still function in times of danger to protect her, right?

After all, for the authority of a Goddess who presided over evil and chaos, driving a person to madness and death was all too simple.

"Unfortunately, Miss Jade’s rationality has never been able to grow enough to suppress her chaotic nature."

That was only to be expected.

Even as the rational half body, Jade’s origin was still rooted in evil and chaos—how could it permit the growth of her own rationality?

Jade hoped to use the growth of her rationality to suppress her chaotic nature, but her chaotic nature would also inhibit the growth of her rationality, leading to the contradiction.

The result was that, despite countless years, Jade was still unable to suppress her chaotic nature.

"This girl..."

Upon learning this, Shane looked towards Jade, his gaze tinged with displeasure.

It couldn’t be helped.

After finding out about this, Shane also understood two things.

One was why Jade could not speak.

Although she possessed a certain degree of rationality, this part was not complete, resulting in her resembling a newborn baby, unable to speak but having some mature thoughts and judgments—a contradiction as evident as her current condition, somewhat deformed.

The other was the reason Jade had let him break the seal of Evil God Lilith.

"It must be because countless years of effort have never paid off, so she wanted to take advantage of this sudden incident and the accident to have me enter the revealed Temple, forcibly break the seal, and then take a desperate gamble in an attempt to return to her original body, right?"

Shane finally saw through Jade’s thoughts and became unhappy as a result.

The danger of this affair was clear as day.

Perhaps this time, rather than being separated, Jade, the rational part of Evil God Lilith, would be completely annihilated.

She must have been well aware of this, which is why she ultimately agreed to Shane’s proposal the previous night to delay the action and not break the seal right away, right?

What did this imply?

It meant that Jade herself didn’t believe in her chances of success, hesitating and feeling fear.

Realizing this, Shane glared at Jade.

Jade seemed to know she was in the wrong, not daring to meet Shane’s eyes, looking down in silence.

In contrast, Iris, after clarifying everything, exhaled and drank another sip of tea to moisten her throat, then finally spoke up.

"The mastermind behind this incident not only destroyed spatial nodes and released the sealed Temple of Evil God Lilith, but also abducted Miss Jade. To be honest, we have no idea what he (she) is planning to do."

It wasn’t just Iris; even Shane had no clue what the mastermind was ultimately up to.

Setting aside other matters, what exactly was the purpose of delivering Jade to him?

Shane couldn’t comprehend the other party’s logic and furrowed his brows tightly.

However, Iris’s logic was quite clear.

"...I don’t know why you chose to enter the Dark Temple and break the seal of Evil God Lilith without understanding the whole situation, but I’d like to request that you don’t do such a thing again in the future," Iris said with a courage-filled voice as she looked at Shane.

"If the seal of Evil God Lilith is broken, the world will surely face a great calamity upon her arrival, turning into Hell."

One could imagine what the outcome would be if a being with power comparable to the Three Great Goddesses and the Six Great Demons wreaked havoc in the Human Realm.

"Before the world was divided into three parts, the land had once been plagued by disaster due to the rampage of Evil God Lilith," Iris said.

"I’ve heard that at that time, there were many other races within the Human Race, some of which were no less advantageous than the Elves and the Beastmen, yet they were all annihilated by the Evil God Lilith."

"It is said that Lilith also destroyed several continents and spread evil energy, causing all the demons and even living creatures in the world to fall into an uncontrollable state, raging madly."

"At that time, the surface of the earth undoubtedly became hell, and even the Demon Clan chose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge."

Such an evil god was undoubtedly an existence even more dangerous than the Demon King.

At least, the Demon King would not fall into madness like this, wreaking havoc upon everything in the world without any regard.

But the Evil God Lilith did just that.

For this reason, the Divine Race had to take action, with the Three Great Goddesses personally sealing her and banishing her to the cracks of the world.

Everything, all because the threat of the Evil God Lilith was far too great.

"Now, after at least thousands of years, there are few people who remember the existence of the Evil God Lilith, and even legends only mention her in bits and pieces. The Demon Clan and the Divine Race have also forgotten this evil god, with only a few people still remembering her."

"And those who remember her are well aware of how terrible the Evil God Lilith is and sincerely hope she never appears again."

"You are a noble of the Kingdom, and I heard you have even vanquished the Old Demon Clan Faction, so you surely wouldn’t want to see the world turn into hell, right?"

"So I beseech you, please don’t do that kind of thing anymore."

Iris’s tone was filled with pleading.

"..."

Shane fell into silence.

Lasha then looked at Jade, noticing that Jade had at some point lifted her head again, staring intently at Shane.

The entire living room once again fell into silence.

It remained unchanged for a long time.

...

Later, Iris cautiously proposed to return to the Temple, but Shane outright refused her.

"Even though I have now learned what I wanted to know, your Priest Group surely hates me to death right now. If I casually let you go back, they will definitely dig deep to find out everything about me and then come to settle the score with me."

Therefore, Shane directly informed Iris that he would use her as a hostage to threaten the Beastman Priest Group.

"You... You really are a bad person...!"

Iris, with tears brimming in her eyes, accused Shane, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Shane wasn’t worried that she would run away.

"Your magic power has been locked by me, which means you have no way to use magic. In such a situation, as a foxman, a being both precious and rare, what do you think would happen to you if you ran onto the streets, considering the current state of Cosmos where criminals abound, muddying the waters? Think about it carefully!"

Shane thus threatened Iris, causing her complexion to turn pale once more as she began to shiver in fear again.

Compared with other Beastmen, Foxmen have a fundamentally different trait.

Normally, Beastmen are born with outstanding physical abilities and are suited to be excellent warriors, but the physical advantages of the Foxmen are not at all apparent. Instead, they possess a magic talent that is severely lacking in other Beastmen.

Their magical talent can even rival that of the Elves.

Thanks to this, the Holy Daughter of the Beastman Race is usually a Foxman.

Such Foxmen only know how to use magic and are ignorant of close combat. Once their magic power is locked, they can’t even carry out a prayer and can only be a fragile ordinary girl.

With this, and without the Priest Group around, how would Iris, with her timid personality, dare to flee on her own?

"You will be struck by divine retribution! You will suffer the wrath of the gods!"

After uttering such fierce words, Iris then ran off to find Lasha, not knowing if she was seeking comfort or protection.

Jade also disappeared unnoticed, not knowing where she had gone.

Only Shane remained, coming out to the balcony, gazing at the chaotic buildings outside, lost in deep thought.
