Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 402 Goddess of the Night
The fool, too, did not sleep, but walked alone in the gray fog.

"The goddess's chosen ones... Mr. Noah's family are indeed believers in the goddess. Melissa even went to church to pray with Miss Sophia."

"But the goddess has been without a favorite for a long time, so why would she choose the emperor?"

To be precise, the Seven Gods Church of the Northern Continent has not had a chosen one for a long time. The last well-known chosen one was Emperor Roselle, who was known as the Son of Steam at the time.

Now that Qin Sheng had pulled this stunt, Klein was caught off guard and at a loss.

Klein didn't think Qin Sheng would lie; when it comes to deities, no one would dare to be so frivolous.

It couldn't possibly be that the emperor, on a whim, deliberately made up a lie to amuse himself; that would be blasphemy!

"The Emperor should already be a demigod, but that shouldn't be the reason he received divine favor. There are double digits of demigods in the church... the Tarot Society!"

Klein unleashed an ultimate brainstorming session: "Could it be that the goddess discovered the Tarot Society and this gray mist space, and thus chose Mr. Emperor to test this place?"

Looking at the gray fog, Klein felt he had discovered the truth.

The last time he divined the blood of the Eternal Sun, the gray mist was able to shield him from the backlash of the gods, which means that this place is at least a creation close to that of the gods, or even...

It's simply God's Kingdom!

"It's quite normal for other gods to covet such a place after they've noticed some clues about it."

"Let the Emperor be the chosen one, to test the Tarot Society and see if I, the Fool, am still there. Once they discover I'm just a facade..."

Klein swallowed hard. Would he kill someone to steal the treasure back then?

It seems quite normal for the Church of the Righteous God to crack down on the forces of evil gods. If the Fool wasn't Klein himself, he would definitely want to destroy this evil organization after hearing about the Tarot Society.

"But I am a member of the church, a fool. Why doesn't the goddess choose me?"

To be honest, Klein felt that if the goddess asked him for the Gray Mist Space, he would give it to her on the spot if she spared his life.

If they were willing to grant him the status of a follower, plus compensation of several hundred thousand gold pounds, that would be ideal.

He was willing to be the dog of the goddess of the night.

"Well, based on my experience, treasures like gray mist protect their owners and prevent outsiders from noticing them. The goddess probably didn't discover me."

If you ask Klein where his experience came from...

Before he "time-traveled," that's how it was written in novels.

Thinking of this, Klein felt both worried and helpless.

"Although the goddess did not discover me, she did discover the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor was loyal to me, this fool, and reported this important information to me immediately, so that I could be prepared."

"Wait a minute, if the goddess can find Mr. Emperor, then what about Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man?"

Justice is a follower of the goddess, but she is a high-ranking noblewoman, and the goddess has already chosen the emperor, so her suspicion can be ruled out; however, the Hanged Man is a member of the Church of Storms, and a Lord of Storms is watching over everything.

Klein was deeply disturbed by the thought; he suspected that the Hanged Man had also received a mission from the Church of Storms to infiltrate the Tarot Society.

"No wonder the Hanged Man's attitude at the Tarot meeting was different from others. He didn't smile when Mr. Emperor and Ms. Justice were having fun."

The treacherous minister has now truly revealed himself.

"However, Mr. Hanged Man's awe of me is genuine. He is probably not a chosen one of the gods. Perhaps he is thinking of sitting on the fence, and he will join the ranks of whoever wins between the Fool and the Lord of Storms."

From this perspective, the Hanged Man is somewhat loyal, but not much.

Klein was overcome with grief, feeling that his future was completely ruined.

The goddess of night and the lord of storms have both set their sights on this fool, and he feels it would be a miracle if he didn't die.

"From now on, the Emperor will be favored by the gods, so I must be extremely careful and absolutely cannot give myself away."

No one can refuse the favor of a god.

As for whether Qin Sheng would not participate in future tarot readings, Klein had not considered that.

"The Emperor's loyalty is as clear as the sun and moon. He is willing to be frank about such matters. I cannot disappoint a loyal subject."

Klein looked around and saw that the Emperor was the only loyal, capable, and virtuous minister in the entire Tarot Club.

The sun's power is weak, justice is naive, and the upside-down man's brain has a rebellious streak; he can only rely on Mr. Emperor.

"The only good news is that I am also a member of the Church of the Night. Even if I am exposed in the future, as long as I sincerely repent, I should be able to keep my life."

From this perspective, he cannot abandon Mr. Emperor.

When the Fool's plan fails and Klein's identity as the Night Watchman is exposed, it's time for him to need a goddess's favorite who can reach the heavens to plead for him and say good things.

"If I could become a chosen one of the gods, I would be willing to live in a mansion in Backlund and have hundreds of thousands of gold pounds in my account."

After his initial worry, Klein felt a deep sense of envy.

The Emperor was first generously funded by the mysterious Queen, and now he's also favored by the Goddess of the Night...

Damn it, you never suffer at all on the road to extraordinary success. No wonder I'm having such a hard time; you've enjoyed all the good fortune.

Mr. Fool is completely unrecognizable.

Noah!!!

"I see."

A mysterious, calm voice rang in Qin Sheng's ears; it was Mr. Fool replying to him.

Just so you know. I'm just letting you know.

As we all know, divine favor is always one-sided; once it is given, you must accept it, and you have no right to refuse.

Therefore, the emperor was forced into it.

Qin Shengli carefully put away the ceremony and happily returned to the Church of the Night.

While Dai Li and the others were dealing with the aftermath of the Ham case, Qin Sheng went to the Great Prayer Hall and prayed to the goddess once again.

"The goddess of the night, more sublime than the starry sky, more enduring than eternity..."

The goddess must already know his attitude; now is the time to truly talk.

A familiar sense of tranquility washed over Qin Sheng, plunging him into a state between sleep and wakefulness, as peaceful as if he had returned to his mother's embrace.

When Qin Sheng opened his eyes, he was no longer in the Great Prayer Hall. All around him was endless darkness, with clumps of night-blooming jasmine and deep-sleeping flowers thriving. These two plants were essential for arranging rituals and making supplications to the goddess of night.

It wasn't because they were some kind of naturally occurring sacred objects, but because the goddess of night liked them.

It's very quiet here, so quiet that there's not a sound at all, even breathing is concealed.

"A projection of the darkest heaven..."

As Qin Sheng uttered those words, a figure descended from the depths of darkness, seemingly emerging from the stars and moon, or perhaps from the very essence of secrecy.

This is a person wearing a black, classic long dress... or rather, a god.

Her dress was layered yet not elaborate, inlaid with starlight, as if it carried the night sky. Her body was ethereal and rippled outwards. Her face seemed to be covered by layers of thin gauze, hazy yet exceptionally beautiful.

"I am merely a Sequence 4, yet I am received by a divine projection. I am truly flattered," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

The goddess's divine realm and her true form reside in the astral plane, sealing the cracks in Earth's barrier.

“You are special,” the Goddess of Night said softly, her expression unreadable.

“Everyone is special, you are, Russell is, and Grisha is even more so.”

Grisha, the ancient sun god who was devoured, was a near-Old One who almost became God.

Qin Sheng was very relaxed and did not feel nervous just because there was a god standing opposite him.

Even my grandmother calls me "big brother"!

After hearing Qin Sheng's words, the Goddess of the Night knew perfectly well that he was also a remnant of the old order.

"You and Grisha came from the same place?" the Goddess of Night asked. She already knew the answer in her heart, that it was impossible, but she asked anyway.

"No, I am neither from the Chaos Sea nor descended from the Source Castle. I am just an ordinary person from the Fifth Epoch." Qin Sheng smiled.

"Of course, I have nothing to do with those extraterrestrial gods outside of Earth."

The goddess of the night stared at Qin Sheng, remaining silent for a moment.

Only angels can know the knowledge of the Outer Gods without being corrupted.

Qin Sheng spoke these things frankly, but he was only a Sequence 4 at the moment, which meant quite a lot.

If he were just a normal angel, he wouldn't have been personally received by the Goddess of Night; Qin Sheng's behavior was simply too extraordinary.

"When did you start paying attention to me?" Qin Sheng asked.

“I discovered you the moment you made contact with Klein.”

Qin Sheng understood. In that case, during the mysterious Qin Sheng period, his time travel was indeed not discovered. The cover-up in the Infinite Land was indeed very effective.

Qin Sheng was not surprised by the time point mentioned by the Goddess of the Night.

When Zhou Mingrui landed, the goddess was undoubtedly watching Tingen. Qin Sheng chose to interact with Klein at that moment and took the opportunity to have the Fool pull him up to the Source Castle.

Such an action would be as conspicuous as a candlelight in the dark in the eyes of a deity, and it was normal for it to be discovered, as Qin Sheng had expected.

It is obvious that Qin Sheng deliberately stepped into the sight of the Goddess of the Night, and all of this is intentional on his part.

In this mysterious world, he needs the power of a god.

Although Beibei is good, she is still a bit weak, and gradually she can no longer provide much help to Qin Sheng.

Whether it's her status as a remnant of the past, or her strength and authority, the Goddess of the Night is the best choice.

"Since you discovered me back then, why didn't you come to contact me?"

Qin Sheng said, "Goddess... I'm not used to calling you that."

"You can call me by my name." When the Goddess of Night said this, she was clearly certain that Qin Sheng knew her true name.

"Amanisis, actually I've been waiting for you all along." Qin Sheng said with a hint of helplessness.

He wasn't lying; he really had been waiting for the Goddess of the Night to invest in him.

But no matter how long he waited, he couldn't see anyone. Having no other choice, Qin Sheng had to come himself.

This is also why Qin Sheng's strength has advanced further in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

The King of Slaying the Dao is no match for the Goddess of the Night, but given Qin Sheng's special circumstances, simply standing before her and engaging in dialogue is enough.

The main reason is that Qin Sheng has accumulated a lot of strange buffs, which makes people more wary of him, especially those in higher positions or who are more cautious.

"I don't know your attitude," the Goddess of the Night said with a hint of a smile.

“You once believed in me, but after you came into contact with Klein, you never stepped into the Church of the Night again, and you never prayed to me again.”

Qin Sheng: "..."

I was waiting for my goddess, but it turns out she was waiting for me too.

From the goddess's perspective, after Qin Sheng underwent a transformation that resembled an awakening, he went from being a casual follower of hers to someone who ignored her completely, and even got together with the last princess of the Intis Empire.

It's hard not to overthink this.

Perhaps he once harbored hatred towards me, perhaps he didn't intend to stand on my side, perhaps he was from the side of the sun and steam.

Under these circumstances, given the nature of the Goddess of the Night, she would absolutely not take the initiative to approach Qin Sheng.

It wasn't until Qin Sheng prayed to her again that the Goddess of Night chose to speak.

"You should have told me. How would I know if you didn't tell me?" Qin Sheng sighed.

Don't let waiting become a regret.

Then Qin Sheng said very sincerely, "Goddess, to be honest, I am your true believer."

"I support your acceptance of the 'River of Eternal Darkness' and your ascension to the 'Eternal Darkness'!"

"What's the price?"

Qin Sheng, with a righteous air, said, "I don't talk about money, I only talk about the source."

The source of the source.
