Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

Lin Qiye thought about it carefully.

Lin Ze has always been seen as calm, mature, and possessing a strong sense of the big picture.

Even though Shen Qingzhu had disappeared, he was not panicked at all.

Aside from looking a little unhappy, he showed no negative emotions.

He can even comfort others.

Therefore, even if something like this happened to him, Lin Ze probably wouldn't react much.

After all, just as he said.

Unfounded negative emotions serve no purpose.

He might help me get revenge, but he would never let my affairs affect him in the process.

Lin Ze is such a person with a strong core.

No one can influence him.

Even the person he was closest to.

Thinking about this, Lin Qiye suddenly realized that he might have misunderstood something.

It's possible that the reality isn't what you think.

maybe.....

He didn't hold a very high position in Lin Ze's heart.

Perhaps he's just an ordinary friend; he has many friends like that.

I was just indulging in wishful thinking, treating him as my best friend.

It's possible that they don't care about you at all.

"Why are you suddenly asking this question, Nanaya?"

Lin Ze seemed puzzled and asked.

Is this kid overthinking again?

Lin Qiye said irritably, "What business is it of yours why I suddenly asked this question!"

"Can't I even ask you a single question now?"

"?!"

Dangerous!

Lin Ze instantly sensed a hint of 'danger'.

This is more dangerous than any crisis!

However, this is different from a life-threatening situation.

Lin Ze could vaguely feel that his knees were already aching.

Spicy!

Lin Qiye must be imagining something!

Lin Ze had originally planned to play a prank, but he never expected things to turn out like this.

In an instant, endless regret welled up in my heart.

Lin Ze quickly explained, "Of course I wouldn't do what they do."

"Because I absolutely will not allow this to happen."

"Otherwise, why do you think I gave you that gift?"

Lin Ze glanced at the bracelet on Lin Qiye's hand.

He gave this to Lin Qiye with the intention of protecting him at all times.

To ensure his safety and prevent him from being in any danger.

Lin Qiye glanced at his bracelet; he still remembered what Lin Ze had told him back then.

His tone was very sincere at the time; he wouldn't lie.

Moreover, he had no reason to lie to himself.

After figuring things out, Lin Qiye suddenly realized that he might have misunderstood Lin Ze again.

Even if we encounter an invincible enemy, I will do everything in my power to save you.

"However, I must apologize to you in advance."

Lin Qiye was completely confused.

He could understand the previous sentence.

But why did Lin Ze apologize to him?

Did he do something to betray himself?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems like this has never happened before.

Or...did he do it behind my back?

Before Lin Qiye could think further, Lin Ze quickly spoke up.

He originally wanted to be a little mischievous, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Lin Qiye is such a thoughtful child; we can't let him get upset any further.

What is this? This is based on experience!

This is what happens when you have a perfect grasp of a person's personality.

"I'm sorry to you because I did something that I'm sorry to you."

"But it's definitely not what you think."

"I'm apologizing to you in advance because I'm sure I'll die before you."

Lin Ze said sincerely.

Hearing this, Lin Qiye's heart trembled.

He didn't understand the meaning behind Lin Ze's words; he only heard Lin Ze say, "I will definitely die before you."

Then, the image of Lin Ze dying tragically in front of him flashed into his mind.

This means that their relationship is completely over.

He never thought about these things.

In Lin Qiye's mind, he felt that he could be friends with Lin Ze for a lifetime.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is impossible.

He had been immersed in his own understanding, but Lin Ze's words directly woke him up.

Before Lin Qiye could react, Lin Ze continued,

"Actually, if I die, you'll be the one who suffers the most."

"Because if one of the two has to die, the one who dies will have an easier time."

"Because he doesn't have to suffer the pain of unrequited love."

"So, I'm sorry, Nanaya."

"If that day ever comes, you'll have to suffer the consequences."

"I know this might be a bit selfish, but I have no other choice."

"I had to do this because I couldn't bear to watch you die in front of me."

"If that day ever comes, then I'm sorry, I have to do it."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Qiye completely lost his composure.

Now he could finally understand why Lin Ze had apologized to him.

That's the reason.

If that day ever comes, he will not choose to live a life of ignominy.

He will definitely leave with Lin Ze.

Otherwise, he'll get bored being all alone there.

With me by his side, he might feel better.

"I suddenly have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving for a bit."

"I'll be right back."

After saying that, Lin Qiye turned and left.

When he left, he even activated Darkest Erosion and Starry Night Dancer to make himself run faster.

He didn't want Lin Ze to see him like this.

But....

He overlooked one point: Lin Ze's current mortal realm is extremely vast.

If he wanted, he could even survey a radius of one kilometer.

Lin Qiye thought he could hide behind a big tree.

Lin Ze looked at Lin Qiye, who was hiding behind a big tree and secretly crying, and muttered under his breath, "Idiot."

"That's incredibly stupid."

"I will not allow this day to come."

"That's why I'm working so hard to become stronger."

"There is always a choice to be made."

"So, there's absolutely nothing to worry about."

At that moment, Yuan Gang and several other instructors began preparing for the follow-up work.

The Church of the Ancient Gods has mobilized so many forces this time.

They've already done a pretty good job to get to this level.

This time, it can still be considered a victory for them.

It's just a pity about Shen Qingzhu.

What a promising talent!

Yuan Gang inwardly grumbled.

These people all grew up under his watchful eye, how could he possibly have no feelings for them?

After this incident, not only Li Jia and Li Liang took the delirium as their target for revenge.

Yuan Gang thought so too.

After all this was done, just as everyone was preparing to leave, Lin Qiye's side was also ready.

He returned to Lin Ze's side once again.

Although he managed to compose himself, Lin Ze could still tell.

His eyes were red.

However, this is not a glorious thing after all.

Lin Ze didn't say anything, nor did he ask what he was going to do.

Lin Qiye never brought up the matter again.

Their relationship remained the same as before, only now it was even deeper.

Previously, Lin Qiye had always believed that their relationship might have reached its limit.

It couldn't be better.

But Lin Ze always manages to bring him a different kind of surprise.

It's the same this time.

Soon, the group was ready and prepared to return to the training camp.

After all, their graduation ceremony wasn't over yet; they had only just announced the transfer order.

Lin Ze was worried that Lin Qiye would get carsick, so he didn't go back with everyone.

He planned to take Lin Qiye back with him on the rock vein dragon.

With the rock vein dragon, their travels became much more convenient.

Such a stylish way of traveling inevitably attracts the envy of others.

But those girls seemed to envy Lin Qiye more.

They seem to like these two people, but I don't know why.

Before leaving, Lin Ze gave the place a meaningful look.

"Shen Qingzhu, good luck to you."

"I've done everything I could."

"The rest is up to you."

"This is destined to be a battlefield for you alone; there's nothing we can do to help."

"..."

Lin Ze thought to himself.

Even Lin Qiye was unaware that Shen Qingzhu had been captured and used as an undercover agent.

It wasn't that Lin Ze deliberately hid it from Lin Qiye, but rather that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

It would be best to keep it the same as before.

This is to ensure that Shen Qingzhu can proceed according to the original plan and that no accidents will occur.

..........

Meanwhile, in a clearing in the forest.

A tall, thin man knelt before the weak, delirious murmur, with a stone sphere as tall as a person behind him.

It was a sphere made of piled-up stones.

"Lord Baiyu!"

"That Yuan Gang is just too strong; the two of us have no way to deal with him!"

"And we had so much mental energy wasted by that kid Lin Ze before."

"So...this really isn't our fault!"

Suddenly, the man swung his hand and used a soul attack to slap him.

However, because he had lost too much of his soul power, the slap did not cause the man much damage.

But that was enough to deter him.

"You know I only care about the results, not the process."

"The result is that the three of you failed to capture Lin Ze and Lin Qiye, and also failed to hold off Yuan Gang!"

"This is what you've done!"

The man's lips twitched as he looked at the woman's weak state and thought to himself.

"How dare you say that about us?"

"And you're the same? Facing a newcomer from Sichuan, you actually got beaten up like this?"

"I see you've already exhausted a lot of your original soul power."

"It also brought with it a Rock Vein Earth Dragon at the peak of the Sea Realm, no, to be precise, a Rock Vein Earth Dragon at the Boundless Realm."

"And what was your result?"

"Didn't it still end in failure? Not only did we fail, but we also gave away the rock vein dragon."

"We spent so much time and effort finding nourishment and used a lot of manpower and resources from the church, only to have it all benefit someone else."

"Is this your result? Looking at it this way, it seems even worse than ours."

"At least we didn't give them free experience points."

Of course, while this was true, he only dared to think about it.

If he were to tell the truth, he would truly have no reason to live.

Although the delirious ones are weak now, there are plenty of ways to deal with them.

All they do every day is figure out how to deal with their own people.

This is why, even though his ramblings have become like this, these people still hold him in awe.

The tall, thin man quickly knelt on the ground, "Lord Yiyu! We can make amends."

"We didn't leave empty-handed this time."

"We've caught our prey!"

Yiyu frowned. His main targets this time were the two big fish, Lin Ze and Lin Qiye!

It could be said that acquiring either of them would be a huge boost for the Church of the Ancient Gods.

Aside from these two people, Yiyu is not interested in anyone else.

"You think you can make amends by just finding a few rotten fish and shrimp?"

"Our Church of the Ancient Gods is not a junkyard; we don't accept just any trash!"

"I said in a bad mood."

The tall, thin man quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, Master Yiyu, it's not what you think."

"Although the prey we caught this time is not as good as Lin Ze and Lin Qiye, it is definitely not some worthless piece of trash."

"How could such a lowly prey possibly appear before you?"

The babbling piqued my interest.

Since Lin Ze and Lin Qiye failed to catch anything, they could at least bring back a decent prey.

We can't go back empty-handed, can we?

"Bring it over."

"yes!"

With a thought, the tall, thin man noticed that the giant stone sphere behind him began to gradually fall off.

Finally, a blood-stained arm was revealed inside.

The stones inside the stone sphere were covered in bloodstains, making it look as if it had been soaked in a pool of blood.

After the stone sphere completely disintegrated, the figure inside was finally revealed.

To be precise, the person inside had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable as human.

The body was squeezed into the boulder, and various parts of it were severely deformed, with some wounds revealing the bone beneath.

Apart from the severed parts, the rest are basically connected by the remaining skin.

Seeing this, Yiyu raised an eyebrow, thinking that finding such prey was quite an achievement.

Shen Qingzhu, an A-level prey, is the owner of an extremely dangerous forbidden area.

With proper training, they can definitely be competent in the role of a believer.

At this moment, the man, as if seeking credit, excitedly introduced, "Master Yiyu, you may not care who he is, so let me introduce him to you."

"He is our A-level prey, Shen Qingzhu!"

"I have completely subdued him and spared his life."

"Although his body is unable to move, he remains conscious."

"In other words, he can clearly feel all his pain."

Before he could finish speaking, a crisp slap rang out.

"How many times have I told you? You need to be elegant, not so rude!"

The tall, thin man hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, I understand."

Although Yiyu was criticizing him, he could see that Yiyu's eyes were full of relief, without a trace of blame!

At this moment, the tall, thin man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

We've finally escaped this calamity.

However, what he didn't know was that he would soon realize that this was the worst decision he had ever made in his life.
