“Damn it! That moron actually followed me. How the hell did he do it?”
The purple youth was livid. He dragged his battered divine body along, and with every step he took into the abyss, the fissures on his body healed slightly.
As one of the supreme deities, he was immortal and indestructible; wounds were essentially meaningless to him.
What he feared was not death, but Lu Xun.
That eccentric fellow who called himself Xun Shen didn't possess any supreme power or otherworldly laws, yet he could make everything around him become ordinary.
Commonly known as the Domain of Universal Equality!
This ability had gradually awakened while Lu Xun was fighting the purple youth.
In the beginning, although Lu Xun could rely on a bit of Faith Energy to briefly exchange blows with him, their divine powers in the alternate space were like eternal fireworks, with vibrant flows of light painting the dimension in a kaleidoscope of colors.
However, Lu Xun's understanding of divine power wasn't deep, and he was initially suppressed by the purple youth.
But as the battle intensified, the purple youth noticed something was wrong.
Lu Xun seemed to grow tired, his use of divine power becoming strained, and his strength grew weaker and weaker.
This should have been a good thing, but the purple youth was shocked to find that he was also gradually losing control over his own divine power.
The two of them were reduced to the level of ordinary humans, and the battle shifted from a clash of divine explosions to a pure, raw brawl.
And the biggest problem was...
The purple youth couldn't beat Lu Xun in a fistfight.
At one point, Lu Xun had pinned him down and pummeled him until his face was black and blue; he was practically one step away from kowtowing and begging for mercy.
With no other choice, the purple youth had to find a way to shake Lu Xun off and return to his own world.
In any case, he had achieved his goal of stalling for time. That fellow, the Plague God, no matter how pathetic he was among the gods, was still a genuine evil god. Leaving the abyss shouldn't be an issue for him.
Despite the beating, the plan was still proceeding smoothly.
The disorderly chaos of the abyss would still shroud the entire world!
But Lu Xun had actually followed him from the future, which was something he hadn't expected.
Things had become quite troublesome.
Of course, the trouble wasn't Lu Xun himself, but that bizarre Domain of Universal Equality... As a dignified supreme god, he didn't want to descend into amateurish brawling. It would be a laughingstock if the other gods saw it.
...
The purple youth stopped in his tracks, falling into a long silence with a complex expression.
Even if he was unwilling to admit it, he had to accept the truth in his heart—he was afraid of Lu Xun.
As for the reason... it wasn't just because he had looked up in Lu Xun's world and seen his own divine body imprisoned on the moon. Every one of those bright stars in the sky was a cage for a god!
Whether they were righteous gods or evil gods, supreme deities or low-level gods, all of them, without exception, were imprisoned within those stars.
“There can only be one god in this world!”
Recalling the arrogant words Lu Xun had spoken in the gray fog space, the purple youth's face turned extremely grim.
“What right does he have to be so arrogant? How can he drive out all the gods by himself? What does he think this is, a game?!” the purple youth roared. Trembling echoes resonated from the depths of the abyss; the wrath of a god was enough to make all things in existence tremble with fear.
No, wait...
Something was wrong...
This disturbance... it didn't seem to be the sound of the abyss trembling from his own anger, but rather...
The purple youth turned his head blankly toward the place where he had just entered. It should have been empty, but now, a rift resembling a vertical pupil had suddenly appeared.
A pair of pitch-black palms reached out from within, firmly grasping the edges and tearing it open bit by bit!
The purple youth's entire body shivered like a cat with its fur standing on end. He stared intently at the shadow slowly poking half its head out of the vertical pupil. Even though the face had no features, the purple youth felt as if he could see a mocking expression on it.
“Here's Johnny!” Lu Xun shouted excitedly.
“Shit!”
The purple youth turned and bolted without looking back.
Lu Xun gave chase like a madman.
“Stop right there!” Lu Xun roared.
“Like hell I will!” the purple youth cursed back over his shoulder.
Although he knew this guy couldn't kill him, the purple youth didn't want to be beaten to a pulp by Lu Xun again.
Gods were immortal, but gods could still feel pain.
However, because of Lu Xun's Domain of Universal Equality, the way the two of them ran was incredibly bizarre. It was hard to imagine that these two figures, chasing each other like they were in a sprint race, were actually two supreme deities!
After running for a while, Lu Xun was gasping for air. His speed gradually slowed until he finally stopped, hands resting on his knees.
Dammit, I'm already the god of another world, so why are my physical stats still those of a college student?!
This isn't scientific at all!
He slightly missed the days of controlling Grinya's body... Personally taking to the battlefield was definitely not something a commander should be doing.
Lu Xun recovered a bit of strength and looked up to see how far the God of Chaos had run.
As it turned out, the purple youth had also stopped not far away. He was even more shameless, sitting right down on the ground, keeping a wary eye on Lu Xun while he rested.
The moment Lu Xun made a move, he would bolt!
Lu Xun: “...”
Sometimes, he really couldn't be blamed for looking down on the so-called gods of this world. In his eyes, these fellows never had the dignity a god should possess. It was hard to respect them.
This was ridiculous!
He couldn't keep running because he was a college student; it was normal for his physical fitness to be a bit poor.
But you're a god—how is it acceptable for your physical fitness to be even worse than his?
If the purple youth could hear Lu Xun's thoughts, he would surely scream in a rage: “How many years has it been since you last exercised? I haven't personally run a single step since the day I was born! What's wrong with having poor physical fitness? It's none of your business!
If you have the guts, turn off that damn domain of yours and see if I don't leave you in the dust!”
“Come over here and let me hit you,” Lu Xun said.
“Heh, do you think I'm an idiot?” the purple youth replied.
Lu Xun realized he really didn't have a way to deal with this guy. He was exhausted and didn't want to move at all.
So, he also sat down cross-legged, staring at the purple youth from a distance.
“Are you really a god?” he asked.
“I refuse to answer such a pointless question!” the purple youth said.
At least they could communicate.
Lu Xun lowered his head in thought and asked, “What exactly is going on with me?”
Everything that had happened to him was far too strange. Ever since that day he inexplicably received a survey online, these bizarre events had been following him.
The game world he thought he was playing turned out to be a real world, and his role was to play a god in this world?
But why him? Why was he chosen?
If he was merely playing the role of a god, why did he possess power from a higher dimension? Where did this power come from, and why had he never possessed it before?
For twenty years, he had been mediocre and unremarkable, yet twenty years later, he suddenly became the god of another world?
He had far too many questions. Why did fire burn in his chest? Why did his luck suddenly turn bad? He wanted to ask everything at once, but for a moment, he didn't know where to start. In the end, all his thoughts boiled down to one sentence:
“What exactly is going on with me?”
Lu Xun just desperately wanted an answer. If the purple youth before him was truly a god and not just some superhuman with special abilities, then he must know something.
Upon hearing Lu Xun's question, the purple youth suddenly became agitated.
“What's going on with you? How should I know what's going on with you! I want to know what's going on too! Who did I offend to run into a bastard like you? If you're a god from the future, then stay in the damn future! Why do you have to interfere with the past?!” The purple youth's face was contorted with rage.
“Dealing with that bastard Order was already enough of a headache. We've been fighting for several eons, but I've never felt as miserable as I do today. At least I knew why I was fighting Order. We were born opposites; we wanted different things. To get what I wanted, I had to keep fighting him!”
“But you! You bastard, you took a nonsensical divine title, shouted nonsensical slogans, and then came to stop me. I don't know your purpose, your meaning, or even what your existence is. I don't even know why I'm fighting you! There are so many evil gods in the world—why did you have to pick me to stop?!”
He roared hysterically, as if venting all his grievances and resentment.
