The Growth of a God

Chapter 71: Forgotten River and Yellow Spring
Aya is an evil ghost, or used to be an evil ghost.

She no longer remembers her memories as a demon, and even her memories of her birth are very vague.

However, Aya didn't care about it.

Because although the memories of the past have been forgotten, the history of this world has been passed down.

Every evil ghost born into this world knows that this is the former hometown of the merciful goddess of death, Baheru, and it is the homeland that she vowed to protect until the last moment of her life.

"Aya, you're daydreaming again."

Just when Aya was daydreaming as usual, a voice suddenly woke her up.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a humanoid evil ghost with a pair of bat wings and limbs as thin as dead wood.

Although Aya is also an evil ghost transformed from Feiyu'e, her every move appears to be exceptionally elegant.

In contrast, the evil ghost with bat wings not only looks ugly and weird, but also has an extremely creepy temperament.

"Ake, I'm not in a daze, I'm just thinking."

Gently opening the pair of wings behind her, Aya stretched out her tentacles and said.

"Is there any point in continuing to work like this day after day?"

As she said this, Aya gently turned her head and looked at the complex yet calm river beneath her feet.

Unlike ordinary rivers, this river is floated with various struggling souls.

They were either born in the underworld or came from another world...

No matter where they come from, they are now flowing along this river towards the inevitable destination of this world - the altar of reincarnation.

In fact, similar rivers exist in every corner of the world. Even in the most remote places, there are people like Aya and Ake who are responsible for dredging and expanding the rivers.

"How can it be meaningless?"

He lowered his head without comment, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of Ak's mouth.

"Let the 'water of the underworld' flow through every corner of this world. This is our mission!"

"Besides, don't you think it's very pleasing to watch those souls struggling in the 'water of the underworld'?"

Hearing this, Aya couldn't help but roll her eyes, but her tone seemed unusually calm.

"Ake, how long has it been since you drank the Love Potion?"

Love Water is a special soup brewed with "Water from the Yellow Spring" as the raw material.

It is said that the tears of the merciful goddess of death, Baheru, are added to it, which can make people forget all their troubles, memories, love, hatred and emotions.

"Why should I drink the love potion?"

With the corner of his mouth pulled down in disdain, Ak mocked calmly.

"I am different from those defective products. I never worry about unnecessary memories and feelings."

"Isn't it the same reason why you have been unwilling to drink the Love Potion?"

Aya couldn't help but fall silent, and didn't speak for a long time.

Just as Ake said, Aya is actually one of the very few people in her group who has not yet drunk the love potion.

The only difference between her and Ake is that the reason why Aya didn't drink the love potion was simply because she had too many thoughts and too many things to remember.

The final appearance of those souls that flow through the "Forgotten River" to the altar of reincarnation needs to be remembered.

If even they themselves drink the love potion, then they will really not leave the slightest trace in this world.

"Ake, I think you need to drink the love potion."

After a long silence, Aya spoke again and said slowly, "I am willing to be your guide and help you adapt to the duties of a 'Soul Messenger' again."

Hearing Aya say this, Ake suddenly widened his eyes as if he was looking at a madman, and then chose to refuse without hesitation.

"impossible!"

"I'm not one of those defective products who will suddenly go crazy if I don't drink the love potion."

"But you actually asked me to drink the Love Potion. Are you going crazy too?!"

When Ak realized that his reaction was a bit too extreme, he immediately lowered his voice and looked around vigilantly.

"Be careful, don't let Billions of People know about this."

"Today I will pretend that I have never seen you. Take care of yourself!"

In an instant, he flapped his wings and soared into the sky, and his figure quickly disappeared from Aya's sight, as if he had never appeared.

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

"Great Lord Huangquan, can you let him go this time?"

Staring silently in the direction where Ake disappeared, Aya suddenly pleaded without any warning.

"I know my request is a bit excessive..."

"But I will definitely try my best to prevent him from falling into the evil path."

Silently, a female figure with a slightly helpless expression appeared behind Aya.

She is Yao Xin, one of the many souls who inherited Baheru's memory and divine power.

Of course, in addition to the above identity, she has many other names in today's world.

[Daughter of the Netherworld], [Lord of the Underworld], [Billions of Bodies], [Master of the Altar of Reincarnation], [The Undead Who Judges Good and Evil]...

These are the names given to Yao Xin by the indigenous people of this world, and they are also the source of her power as a qualified god.

"Aya, although your Huangquan clan is the closest race to the 'immortals', you are not the real immortals after all."

"Hundreds or thousands of years of memories and experiences will gradually push you to extremes."

"The Love Potion is just a way for you to 'return' to balance, not a means to kill you."

Shaking her head sadly, Aya's voice remained elegant and calm.

“Forgetting everything in the past is a kind of death to me.”

"The only difference is that those souls who return to the 'Forgotten River' can start over again, but we can only repeat the duties of the 'Soul Messenger' over and over again."

After a brief pause, Aya turned her head and looked at Yao Xin and spoke softly.

"Great Lord of the Underworld, I do not hate my duties..."

"I even felt happy that I could personally send those souls on their final journey."

"But not all Huangquan people are like me. Most of them are actually no different from ordinary souls."

"So I hope you can give us more options besides the Love Potion."

Yao Xin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, but did not interrupt Aya, but gestured for her to continue speaking.

"For example, let us be able to reincarnate once in a while and experience a different life journey."

“In this way, when they return, they may realize the responsibilities on their shoulders again because of this different life experience.”
