Gexi and Morai seemed to have known this outcome for a long time. They weren't surprised, only turning their heads away in unison to avoid looking, as the air filled with an emotion called sorrow.
Buze was already dead; what remained of him now was nothing more than an obsession.
No one knew how Buze had done it, nor did they know where this power of his came from.
But he had done it nonetheless.
Even as a deity, the Plague God could not help but look highly upon the human before it—though Buze could no longer be called human, but rather a mass of golden energy particles formed by intense obsession and desire.
“What a pity. A human like you would be a precious treasure even in the eyes of us gods,” the Plague God suddenly said with regret.
“If this were the ancient era when the gods were at their peak, I believe even those supreme beings would have quarreled over who you belonged to. You were born to be a divine envoy, but unfortunately, this era has limited you.”
As the Plague God spoke, its tone became increasingly pitying toward the person before it.
But Buze could not understand a word of its gibberish. If he could have understood, he likely would have sneered and told the god that he was an atheist.
Gexi supported the frail Grinya. No matter how unwilling Grinya was in her heart, it was a fact that her body could no longer hold on. At this moment, she was so weak she could collapse at any time.
“Grinya.” Buze suddenly called out to her. However, his current appearance was eerie and terrifying; his facial features had been stripped away under the influence of the abyss's power, and his golden, particle-like figure was teetering on the brink of collapse.
“This time, I win.”
Grinya froze. She felt as though she could see a proud smile on Buze’s featureless face.
As expected, Buze had never forgotten their rivalry, and he had finally won against Grinya once.
He no longer had any regrets, so he calmly faced the depths of the endless abyss.
The Plague God also stared at him expressionlessly.
Under the influence of Buze’s power, the gates of the abyss were slowly being closed by him.
The gateway of the abyss grew smaller and smaller.
Yet the Plague God merely watched coldly, making no move to stop him.
Because it knew very well there was no need to struggle.
That golden domain was incredibly strange. If Buze could not complete his dying wish, this bizarre golden domain would not disappear. There was no need for the god to risk injury just to play an “arm-wrestling match” with a human.
So, rather than struggling, it was better to let Buze close the gate and fulfill his wish; then, he would naturally vanish.
In any case, as a god, it was eternal and indestructible. If this resurrection failed, it would simply wait for the next opportunity.
The abyss gradually settled, and all the rioting fell into a state of calm.
Gexi had already flown some distance away. She carried Morai with one hand and Grinya with the other. As she looked back, all three of them saw the gate of the abyss, which had brought such great disaster to Yiertaya, slowly vanishing.
It was accompanied by golden particles drifting slowly through the air.
The three of them were speechless, frozen in the air as they watched quietly.
“He really did it. He quelled this disaster, doing something that neither I nor Lord Xun Shen could achieve,” Grinya said blankly.
The world had completely calmed down. The wind blew cold, and faint moonlight filtered down through the thick dark clouds.
Just as they were all sinking into a deep melancholy, a familiar voice sounded in Grinya's ear:
“Did you call for me?”
Grinya blinked. She recognized this as the voice of Lord Xun Shen. He must have heard her murmuring just now, but at this moment, Grinya didn't know what kind of mindset she should use to face him.
“I have some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?” Lu Xun was still in the mood to joke at a time like this.
Grinya opened her mouth. At a time like this, she naturally wanted to hear some good news.
Gexi and Morai looked at her with strange expressions, thinking they must have misheard something.
“The good news is that by relying on the Faith Energy accumulated previously, I will soon be able to descend into this world in my true form.”
“And the bad news?” Grinya asked.
Watching Grinya talk to herself so strangely, Gexi couldn't help but feel worried. “Grinya, are you alright?”
“The bad news is... that guy called Chaos is a bit faster than me,” Lu Xun said somewhat sheepishly.
Grinya was stunned. She didn't understand what Lord Xun Shen meant at first, but then, she understood perfectly.
Because that massive and unsettling gate of the abyss suddenly reappeared before them!
And in an instant, it expanded and swung wide open!
Faced with a situation that had once again fallen into chaos and become a total mess, Gexi and Morai’s minds went blank.
“Wasn't the gate closed?”
“Why is this happening?”
But reality often changed faster than a young girl's thoughts.
The gate of the abyss that opened this time was even larger than before, its power even more disordered and violent.
The ground was torn apart piece by piece. It was as if everything had lost gravity; all the rubble, bricks, and even people's undergarments were drifting aimlessly in the air.
“What's going on?” Grinya's face turned pale as she turned to look at Gexi and Morai.
Then her heart sank. She saw a scene that filled her with despair.
Even Gexi, who possessed the protection of the God of Order, was being corrupted in this situation. She and Morai were already nothing more than soulless empty shells. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before they were completely corrupted and assimilated, turning into disordered chaos.
If even Gexi's condition was this bad, the situation for the common people in Yiertaya would only be worse!
Recalling Lord Xun Shen's words just now, Grinya immediately thought of the most terrifying possibility.
The God of Chaos... had resurrected!!!
...
“You’ve disappointed me, Plague. I placed the opportunity for resurrection right in front of you, and yet you were actually blocked inside the gate by a group of ordinary people.”
The “Plague God” stood outside the abyss, its cold eyes slowly scanning the surroundings.
After ten thousand years, it was seeing the real world once again.
This long-lost feeling was both somewhat unfamiliar and something to be savored.
The plan was slightly different than before.
It had originally intended to wait until the Plague God reached the outside of the gate before seizing its will to be reborn.
But to its surprise, when it possessed the Plague God's will and opened its eyes, it found that it was still inside the abyss.
It cursed the useless fool in its heart.
A dignified evil god had actually been held back by a group of humans. With such a disgraceful performance, it really didn't know how the other had the face to call itself a god.
Fortunately, although the plan was different, the outcome was the same.
It had still stepped out of the abyss using the Plague God's body.
And the price was merely losing a small amount of its origin power.
