Tang Nian's tears welled up in her eyes, as if they might fall at any moment. Qian Shiye was such a cold and aloof person, yet now he was so disheveled. In Tang Nian's heart, Qian Shiye was the best, but now...

She tried hard to suppress her emotions, but she couldn't control them no matter what she did.

At this moment, Qian Shiye didn't even raise his head, assuming that the footsteps were still made by the fallen angel.

Qian Shiye lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see the expression in them. He slowly said, "There's only one last time. It's no use saying anything now. I will leave here alive."

These days, the fallen angels have whispered in his ear a lot, and what they said was undoubtedly aimed at completely breaking down his psychological defenses.

However, Qian Shiye knew in his heart that the fallen angel did this so that he could be made a puppet and completely controlled. He would not be able to have his own thoughts and would become a tool of the fallen angel god.

This is not what Qian Shiye wants. He will never become anyone's puppet. If it were Tang Nian, he would be happy to do so, but for anyone other than Tang Nian, he would rather die than live as a broken piece of jade.

After a long while, Qian Shiye did not hear the voice of the Fallen Angel. He thought that the Fallen Angel was preparing some kind of trick again, so Qian Shiye calmed himself down and said, "You have tried all sorts of methods, and you know that they are useless."

Tang Nian raised her hand to cover her lips. At this moment, she was already in tears. She looked at Qian Shiye in disbelief. She couldn't even imagine what Qian Shiye had gone through these days.

Fire Lake was already very difficult, but according to what he said, what he experienced was definitely not just limited to Fire Lake.

If possible, Tang Nian hoped that Qian Shiye wouldn't have to work so hard, even if he didn't accept the divine throne inheritance.

The succession to the divine position of a fallen angel is far too painful, far too painful.

"Shi Ye..." Tang Nian murmured softly, unable to bear it.

Just then, as if sensing something, Qian Shiye suddenly turned his head to look at Tang Nian. In an instant, his pupils shrank, and his usually expressionless face was now filled with heartache.

Tang Nian shed tears. He saw it. The Tang Nian in his heart should always be happy. It was his fault for scaring Nian Nian.

It's his fault...

Perhaps because the fire had damaged her vocal cords, Qian Shiye's voice was no longer as clear and cold as before; instead, it was somewhat hoarse. "Niannian, don't cry, Niannian, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Nian's tears flowed like a burst dam. She reached out to try to wipe them away, but no matter how she wiped, the tears seemed to never dry, wetting her face and soaking her clothes.

Tang Nian walked quickly toward Qian Shiye.

Qian Shiye's voice was hoarse, and a pale smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Niannian, don't come any closer, stay away from me, Niannian. It's... dangerous here. Be good, Niannian..."

As he spoke, half of Qian Shiye's face was burned beyond recognition by a sudden burst of flames.

Qian Shiye instinctively wanted to reach out and block it so as not to frighten his Nian Nian, but when he reached out, all that was left was bare white bone. He lowered his hand, but he was still a step too slow. Tang Nian had already seen it.

The next moment, Qian Shiye's body began to melt. "Niannian... don't be afraid, I will be back soon, Niannian..." His voice grew softer and softer until it was completely inaudible.

The flames quickly enveloped Qian Shiye, and he was like a pool of water, melting into a lake of fire.

"Qian Shiye—" Tang Nian's voice was heart-wrenching. At this moment, Tang Nian had lost all reason. She had no time to care about anything else. At this moment, all she could think about was Qian Shiye, who had just disappeared before her eyes.

Tang Nian ran over quickly, but just as she was about to jump into the lake of fire without hesitation, she was stopped by an invisible force.

She couldn't jump into the fiery lake; it was as if an invisible barrier was preventing Tang Nian from moving.

"Shi Ye—" Tang Nian looked at the lake of fire with some confusion. There was nothing there except for the flames that were burning.

"Qian Shi Ye—Qian Shi Ye—You come out here, Qian Shi Ye—"

Tang Nian called Qian Shiye's name over and over again until her voice was hoarse, "Shiye... Shiye..." With each word she uttered, Tang Nian's throat felt as if it were being cut by a knife.

Just then, a voice that sounded neither male nor female rang out, "You want to see Qian Shiye?"

"I want to—I want to—" Tang Nian looked up. It had been five days since Qian Shiye disappeared in the Fire Lake. During these five days, Tang Nian tried various methods to enter the Fire Lake to find Qian Shiye, but she couldn't get in. It was as if there was a barrier around the Fire Lake, and she just couldn't get in, no matter where she was.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Tang Nian's eyes were swollen from crying, and it hurt terribly every time she blinked, but even so, her tears still flowed uncontrollably.

The voice paused for a moment, then spoke, "Even if it means giving up the inheritance of the Yama God's position, would you accept that?"

Tang Nian paused for a moment, then looked up at the pitch-black ceiling. The voice was coming from there. "You are the Fallen Angel God." Tang Nian's voice was firm.

The voice, as if it had heard the most exciting news in the world, laughed wildly and said, "That's right, I am the fallen angel!"

Tang Nian raised her head upon hearing the voice, staring intently at the ethereal, non-existent fallen angel before her, and questioned sharply, "Why do you treat Qian Shiye like this? The fiery lake punishment was originally yours to bear, so why must Qian Shiye endure such torment time and time again in your place!"

The fallen angel scoffed disdainfully, "You are still too naive and innocent. Do you really think that by accepting the inheritance of a divine position, you can do so without paying any price? So-called gods may seem high and mighty, but do you really think that position is so easy to hold?"

"You should do your job if you're in a position of authority. If you're not willing to take on all of this, then you could have chosen not to become a god in the first place, instead of imposing all of this on a completely innocent person! In the end, you're just a thoroughly selfish person!" Tang Nian's words were sharp and merciless. Every word she spoke seemed to be a sharp blade, piercing straight into the most hidden corner of the fallen angel's heart.

The fallen angel burst into another fit of maniacal laughter, roaring, "I am a fallen angel, so what if I'm selfish! As for justice... Hmph, do you really think that every guy in the divine realm acts with justice in mind? How utterly laughable, so naively pathetic!" (End of Chapter)
