The Growth of a God

Chapter 24 Descendants of the Ancient Gods
When Mengyao woke up from her long-lost dream, the sun was already high in the sky.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling and feeling the fragrance coming from the bedding, Mengyao blinked in confusion.

The next second, she suddenly sat up from the bed as if she suddenly realized something.

"Li Hao?"

Because I rented this apartment simply for the sake of cheapness.

So Li Hao’s room is actually not very big, it can barely accommodate a big bed and a toilet.

Meng Yao opened her eyes and turned around, and saw Li Hao cooking noodles not far away.

Because there is no dedicated kitchen.

Li Hao just cooked the noodles on a simple induction cooker, and the tempting aroma immediately aroused Mengyao's appetite.

"Gulu..."

As her stomach growled with hunger, Mengyao's face suddenly turned red.

"woke up?"

Turning his head to look at Mengyao curled up on the bed, Li Hao just raised his eyebrows calmly.

"Are you awake? Or are you hungry?"

After these words were spoken, Mengyao, who was already blushing, blushed even redder like a ripe apple.

At this point, Meng Yao didn't care why she was sleeping in Li Hao's bed and jumped up from the bed.

Then, Mengyao found that something seemed a little wrong... When did she become so tall?
No, it’s not that I became taller, but that my head flew up!
"what!"

Unable to hold back a scream, Mengyao's head instantly fell from mid-air.

Just as Mengyao’s head was about to roll under the bed.

Li Hao suddenly stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and an invisible force immediately grabbed the other person's head.

"Be careful!"

"You have just 'awakened' and you still need to get familiar with your new body first."

Before she finished her words, Mengyao felt her head shaking for a while and then returning to her neck again.

However, this time Mengyao obviously learned from previous experience and lessons.

He didn't dare to make any big movements, but instead carefully stroked the bloodstain on his neck.

"What exactly is going on?"

It seems a bit scary, and it seems like he is trying to recall...

Mengyao vaguely remembered that Li Hao said to her yesterday, "You are already dead."

But why did my head fall off?

Also, what's going on with this bloodstain on my neck?

"The situation is a bit complicated."

"But I think you should be able to figure it out now."

Without telling Mengyao directly what had happened, Li Hao just fried an egg on the induction cooker.

"Can I figure it out myself?"

Looking at Li Hao's profile with a confused look on her face, Mengyao began to try to discover those fragments in her memory that had been neglected.

Immediately afterwards, Mengyao's rosy face began to turn white little by little.

Fear, panic, regret, relief...

All kinds of complicated emotions surged into Mengyao's heart at this moment, making her look at Li Hao strange.

......................................................................................................

——I am already dead!
This was a fact that Mengyao suddenly realized yesterday after being reminded by Li Hao. Due to hearing voices from another dimension for many years, Mengyao's mental state has actually been very unstable.

In the eyes of classmates and teachers at school, except for being aloof, all other aspects of Mengyao's behavior seem to perfectly meet the standards of a "good student".

But only those who have come into contact with Mengyao know that her heart has actually been shattered long ago.

Paranoia, madness, and even a certain degree of self-destructive tendencies...

This is the real Mengyao, a "madman" who is isolated from normal society.

Unfortunately, the only person in this world who has truly come into contact with Mengyao is her elderly grandmother.

So no one has noticed the inner struggle and pain of this seemingly strong girl.

In fact, after realizing that she was being targeted, Mengyao thought she was just seeking death, but she did not actually commit suicide because she could not bear to leave her grandmother.

But is this really the case?

Can the paranoid and crazy Mengyao really think about her own death so rationally?
The answer is naturally no.

The real Mengyao had actually attempted suicide more than once.

The closest thing to success was to use a small decapitation device that he made himself to chop off the head painlessly.

In terms of her ability to act alone, Mengyao is obviously worthy of praise.

Cut off your own head with a small decapitation device.

This way of dying is indeed consistent with Mengyao's inner paranoia and madness.

Unfortunately, the big snake will not let go of the only human who can hear its voice.

The will of the ancient gods, coupled with Mengyao's own divine bloodline, allowed her to miraculously come back to life after being beheaded.

In order to allow Mengyao to ignore the incredible phenomena happening to her and continue to appear normal, Da She even deliberately blurred her memory and cognition.

This is the truth that Mengyao ignored and even forgot the fact that she had died once.

It was not until Li Hao's reminder that Meng Yao seemed to realize something in a trance, and instinctively began to try to break free from the hint given to her by the big snake.

So, this is what happened last night when Mengyao sneaked into the school archives room to look for Li Hao's residential address and finally found him.

[In fact, you are already dead. ]

[If you want to talk, I am willing to be your listener. ]

Standing at the door of Li Hao's house, Mengyao couldn't help but think of what he had whispered in her ear during the day.

It is hard to imagine that such obvious hesitation and deliberation can be seen in Mengyao, who has always been paranoid, crazy, but full of action.

For some unspeakable reason in her heart, Mengyao instinctively refused to drag others into her own disaster.

It was at this time that the snake attacked again.

While Li Hao was immersed in his dream, the big snake planned to completely destroy the boy who gave Meng Yao hope again.

The result is predictable. The remnant of Zhulong, which is also the will of the ancient god, forcibly dragged the big snake into Li Hao's dream at this time.

This is what happened next, and that is what Li Hao experienced in his dream.

As for Zhulong Cannian, was he doing this to save Li Hao?
Or do you simply want to cause him some trouble?
I guess only He Himself knows the answer.

Anyway, the final result was that Mengyao completely broke free from the will of the big snake and regained her freedom.

Not only that, Mengyao's ability was also officially awakened.

While becoming a true descendant of the ancient gods, she even forcibly plundered some of the characteristics of the giant snake.

——The body and head may be separated but not dead; the soul may leave the body but not indestructible.
