Once Leng Yan died, there was no living creature in the cave apart from Li Yunmu. The corpse demon of Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou was standing in front of the coffin without moving, like a statue. Previously, although the corpse demon Ru Shou was in an abnormal state, it was dormant. However, due to Li Yunmu, who had used his divine power to wake Ru Shou, he had moved.

When the outsiders were exterminated, Ru Shou became dormant once more.

Li Yunmu glanced at him and slowly said, “Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou, I will take you home and bury you there.”

Ancient G.o.ds, regardless of which world they belonged to, they were almighters enjoying being wors.h.i.+ped by thousands. But Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou was sold by his master G.o.d with his cultivation sealed, then buried in a coffin while still alive. After dying, he was then turned into a G.o.d ruin in which the younger generation of Goumang Real World would contest to obtain his G.o.dhood.

Such a miserable fate could make anyone feel sorrowful.

Since Ru Shou was an ancient G.o.d of the Origin World who had suffered such a calamity, Li Yunmu wanted to let him die completely and become a proper corpse, which he would take with him to the Origin World and bury properly. As for the G.o.dhood, he would give it to Jue Qingzi to let him comprehend the laws of metal attribute grand dao. But he didn’t need to give him the complete G.o.dhood. Only one-fifth of it would be enough for Jue Qingzi to comprehend the grand dao.

Li Yunmu would bring back the rest of the G.o.dhood to carry out the changes in the world order. According to the system, the number of G.o.dhoods necessary for the reform wasn’t small, so he had to save and collect whatever he could. After all, there were few G.o.dhoods to be found.

After deciding that, Li Yunmu went to Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou and extended his hand toward the G.o.dhood concealed in his chest. At that moment, Ru Shou, who was originally standing like a statue, opened his black eyes and locked them on Li Yunmu. He extended his hand to grab Li Yunmu’s wrist, and the two black dragons on his shoulders snarled, spitting out b.a.l.l.s of black flames.

Upon seeing that, Li Yunmu wanted to pull his hand back, but an angry bellow echoed in his ears and his vision turned dark.

“I hate it! I hate it!”

A loud sound resonated in the darkness, as if it was coming from all directions without any source. The resentment acc.u.mulated within it resounded with Li Yunmu, and large waves appeared in his calm heart.

He immediately knew that the voice belonged to Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou. Although he had never seen Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou, he was sure of it.

After the darkness pa.s.sed, a scene appeared before his eyes. It showed a desolate land with a light sparkling in the sky. From time to time, G.o.ds emitting divine light appeared, and their bellows echoed throughout the world.

A figure dropped from the sky then. It had two black dragons on his shoulders. Their heads extended toward the sky and spat out large b.a.l.l.s of black flame, which ignited the cracks in the sky.

Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou looked above as he loudly shouted out, “Xuan Ming, you betrayed me!”

A spur filled back appeared in the sky, before disappearing again.

Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou fell on the ground, creating a deep hole. After a moment, when he tried to come out of the deep hole, a large hand appeared in the s.p.a.ce before his eyes. It grabbed him and pulled him into a crack in s.p.a.ce. He was unable to resist it in the slightest.

“So it was you!”

When he said those words, the scene suddenly changed. A youth clad in black emperor-like clothes was standing in front of a coffin. A domain appeared around his body, and it was filled with countless dead spirits flying around.

The next instant, a smile appeared at the corner of the youth’s mouth, and he extended his hand into the coffin and formed a four direction black imprint at the s.p.a.ce between Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou’s eyebrows.

“You must hate me, and your heart should fill with resentment. You must hate me more and more, increasing your resentment to the highest levels. After your soul is destroyed, and you become a corpse demon, I will come again to take you out.”

After the youth said that, he flung his hand in the air, and threads of laws appeared. They twisted like a string, forming a spell formation.

For countless years after that, only the bellowing of Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou could be heard from the coffin as he constantly shouted one name.

“I hate it! I hate it! Hau Tu… Hau Tu…”

The scene disappeared, and Li Yunmu’s vision returned to normal. He saw the black pupils of Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou, who was holding his hand, locked onto him. The man’s mouth kept opening and closing as he repeated, “I hate… hate…”

Li Yunmu frowned slightly. The hint of resentment left in Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou’s physical body was still vivid in his mind. As it increased through the years, a part of his memories were also branded upon it.

From those scattered memories, Li Yunmu learned that the person because of whom Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou was sealed alive in the coffin until his soul dissipated and he became a corpse demon was a friend.

He was the father of yin son of heaven, the quasi sage Yin Emperor.

It was unknown whether Pangu and Yin Emperor were allied or whether the ancient G.o.d was used to exchange for some kind of benefit. After all, the memories branded in the resentment of Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou were scattered, and the real appearance of the owner of the large hand did not appear in his memories.

During the battle of G.o.ds, Xuan Ming had betrayed Ru Shou, like Ru Shou said just then. The two of them were allies at first, but during the crucial moment, Xuan Ming, who was a subordinate of Pangu, turned traitor.

But while inside the coffin, Ru Shou thought about another name, Hau Tu.

He didn’t think of Pangu, but rather Hau Tu.

Perhaps at that time, Pangu and Yin Emperor were not allied, but the G.o.d named Hau Tu was an ally of Yin Emperor.

Li Yunmu frowned slightly. Just how many of the G.o.ds at that time were in cahoots with beyond heavens and injured their fellow comrades of the Origin World?: After looking at the memories of Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou, he felt that he needed to be more vigilant.

“When so many ancient G.o.ds had collaborated with beyond the heavens, it’s no wonder that True G.o.d was unable to discover it at the time.”

After saying that, Li Yunmu raised his hand to form a punch which was covered with divine power as it advanced to hit Ru Shou.

Bang.

Just when the punch hit the chest of Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou, another hand grabbed Li Yunmu’s wrist. He raised his head and saw that two dots of light had appeared in Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou’s black eyes. They shone with a hint of intelligence, and a faint vitality appeared in Ru Shou’s body, but it was so weak that it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

[Eh, a new soul was born in Ru Shou. Strange, a new soul shouldn’t be born after one turns into a corpse demon,] the system said in Li Yunmu’s brain. Once he heard it, he also found it quite unusual.

“What is the meaning of this? Is Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou resurrecting??”

[Rather than resurrecting, it would be better to say he is being reborn. The new soul which is born right now doesn’t have much relation with Ancient G.o.d Ru Shou. But because he had already transformed into a corpse demon, perhaps this soul will have some of its former memories,] the system said with some excitement in its voice.

[Since this Ru Shou is being reborn, don’t let this soul be destroyed. Take his G.o.dhood and let him join you in reforming the world. Perhaps you will gain some unexpected benefits.]

When Li Yunmu heard that, he nodded his head and looked at Ru Shou holding his hands.
