I would rather betray the gods

Hu~hu~

Yuzu, who had been kicked off a bridge in her dream, sat up in shock, breathless, and dizzy.

Last night's dream was so vivid, it felt like it was real. But when I looked back at the windowsill, the sunlight was shining obliquely onto the corner of the table at the same time as usual, and the sounds of pedestrians and cars outside the window were gradually becoming noisier as usual. Everything told me that it was just a dream.

Wait a minute! If last night was a dream, what is this now? Shouldn't I be lying in the hospital?

Recalling that his last consciousness before the dream was being carried into an ambulance, Yuzu felt something was wrong. Looking around more closely, he realized this wasn't his house. But why did he know that the sunlight would shine on that corner of the table at this time every day when he woke up? What was going on?

Just then, a shocking memory flooded his mind, creating a huge uproar. Sensing something, he sprang to the bathroom, looked at himself in the mirror again and again... He had transmigrated.

He smiled at himself in the mirror, because compared to himself in that other world, the original owner here was a rich second-generation. His parents ran a sizable and thriving factory in his hometown.

But the original owner wasn't a spoiled brat; he had his own dreams and had been pursuing his literary aspirations alone for many years, working hard at writing, not relying on his parents, and getting by... in a complete mess.

With the same dream at a similar age, and such a good foundation, what reason is there not to work hard! Yuzu smiled at herself in the mirror. Without even having to slow down or adapt, she began to integrate into the new world and new life by following the habits in her memory... brushing her teeth and washing her face, then driving to an unknown cultural studio to clock in for work.

It's called going to work, but it's not really a matter of whether you go or not, because no one knows how long that studio can last.

I persisted in going there because there were many people who shared my language, and the atmosphere was great. Writing alone at home in silence easily leads to emo and confusion.

As for the dream last night, Yuzu thought about it over and over on the way home. It was so real that she still felt a chill down her spine when she thought about the scene of being judged.

"drop..."

"Are you going or not? The green light has been going on for ages!"

He even forgot that he was driving and waiting at a red light, which prompted various urgings from the vehicles behind him.

Oh dear! Startled awake, he felt deeply apologetic and reflexively adopted a "cowardly" posture before speeding through.

"Ring ring..."

Just as one problem was subsiding, another arose. Before the intersection was even fully cleared, the phone rang, adding to the chaos.

Although it had a hands-free function, Yuzu waited until she passed through the camera area before answering the call, "Who is this?"

"Who is this? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone!" A woman's voice came from the other end of the line.

Oh my god~

Upon hearing the voice, Yuzu's hair stood on end. His entire face seemed to sigh with regret, as if he hadn't answered the call if he had known it was her. The original owner... no, his sister, his own sister, was an extremely fierce shrew towards him. "I'm driving~"

"Your brother-in-law is back from his business trip. Come over for dinner tonight!" The voice on the other end of the phone said without any hesitation.

"We'll see." Before she could finish speaking, Yuzu hung up the phone, afraid that if she delayed even a second longer, her older sister would nag her endlessly: "Hurry up and find a boyfriend!"

It's quite a coincidence that the original owner, despite coming from such a wealthy family, was also single, which became a source of great anxiety for the whole family. However, he understood the original owner quite well in this regard, because who would want to be alone if they could?

Every lonely night, he would ask the stars where the person who would accompany him for life was.

His requirements weren't high; he just wanted that feeling of being destined to experience that spark of attraction.

[My wish is to walk alone in simple shoes.]

His unwavering dedication, which his friends and family could not understand, was intertwined with countless days and nights of waiting.

How long has it been since he truly laughed? He doesn't know.

Lost in thought, he drove past the studio without entering, heading straight for the nearby department store.

The market has everything you could want; if you can think of it, you can buy it.

With a clear purpose, Yuzi went straight into a shop, looked around, and finally chose an item.

"Authentic?" He held up the item and asked the shopkeeper for a final confirmation.

"Young man, you can rest assured. I'll compensate you tenfold if anything in my shop is fake. This peach wood sword is definitely made of peach wood!" The shopkeeper understood the psychological needs of every customer and patted his chest to guarantee it.

"That's good," Yuzu nodded, then pointed to the price tag and said, "55 yuan is too expensive. Give me a 5 yuan discount. If it's okay, I'll take it. If not, I'll go look around some more."

He was a bit hot-tempered but not very skilled. Seeing him haggle down to the last few cents, the shopkeeper was already pretty sure of winning and readily agreed.

Youzi then scanned the QR code and left.

That's right, he wants to use the peach wood sword to ward off evil spirits. The scene of being judged in his dream last night terrified him. If he has a dream like that again, he will stab them with the peach wood sword!

That night, Yuzu thought about staying up all night to organize the unfinished writing in her notebook, but she became sleepy before ten o'clock, as if she had been hypnotized.

"What's going on? Why am I so sleepy?" he wondered, groping his way to the bedside. He glanced at the peach wood sword beside his pillow and lay down peacefully...

It felt like she had just closed her eyes when Yuzu found herself in a grand hall.

The magnificence of the main hall left him speechless. As he looked around, he wondered where in the world such a large hall could be found, it was almost the size of a large stadium!

From afar, the view was overwhelming, so he looked closer. As he lowered his gaze, he bumped into Cancer. He was startled at first, then exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, it's you! I dreamt about you again! Dreams can continue?"

Hey~

Cancer patted his forehead in disappointment, then covered half his face with his hand, revealing only one gleaming eye as he looked at Yuzu. "Didn't I tell you last night? Today's the day of the coronation, the day of the coronation!"

"Is this for real?" Yuzu gradually realized that last night and now might not be a dream.

"It's definitely for real, otherwise why would so many god-kings gather together? Everyone is so busy with their own affairs!" Cancer said, spreading his arms to the many big shots waiting below the stage.

Today is the day when Yuzu is crowned and returns to his rightful place, so the other god-kings are also waiting in the main hall.

Like Cancer, they all wear the exclusive battle armor of the God-King. Because they guard different palaces, each crystal battle armor has a distinct difference with a very specific palace characteristic, so that people can tell at a glance which God-King is wearing it.

The Milky Way is a whole. Although they each govern their own region and are the masters of their own territory, they are still one family in general. This important moment is to witness and to welcome them back.

Yuzu glanced around and saw a large group of people sitting in rows below the stage. She immediately recalled the scene of being tried in the pavilion last night and felt lingering fear. She instinctively patted herself all over.

I bought the peach wood sword from him at the department store.

It's gone! He remembers holding it in his hand when he closed his eyes, didn't he?

"Stop looking. We're all gods, not demons or evil spirits. Who's afraid of a piece of rotten wood?" With his coronation imminent, his every move during the day was being monitored and protected. If he hadn't been searching in public, Cancer really wouldn't have wanted to expose this.

"Then how do we get crowned?" So Yuzu simply faced the question head-on.

"The coronation is easy. Just put on the exclusive crown of the God King Pisces, and everything that belongs to you will return, just like the first rays of dawn." Cancer pointed to the crown on the table next to him.

Yuzu looked and saw that it was the head part of the Crystal Battle Suit, with the same unique features as the other God Kings. She thought to herself, "Will I also have a battle suit that combines elegance and majesty when I am successfully crowned?" She couldn't help but feel happy.

Then Cancer said, "However, you are ultimately just a mortal, and your early return to your position is due to the circumstances. Power is a double-edged sword, and it's not as simple as whether you use it or not. Therefore, before you are crowned, you need to go back to the past to see your past life and receive a bit of his power."

"What is 'a little bit of power'?" Yuzu's heart sank. She knew that such a big event as coronation was not so easy.

"This power can protect you completely; in short, it's the last bit of care you received before you entered the cycle of reincarnation in your previous life." Cancer's eyes were bright, seemingly knowing a lot but saying little.

"So how do we go back to the past? How do we get back?" Everything is unbelievable, and Yuzu is having a really hard time.

"All you need is a medium that exists in the past and can resonate with it to cross the timeline. But be aware that the peak of the energy of the medium is unknown, so the time you return to is uncontrollable." As he spoke, Cancer shook the wind chime on his wrist, which was the medium he used to 'transfer' Yuzu.

"I mean, I don't know which time period they'll send me to. What if they send me back to before I even had the chance to use the 'Power of a Little' in my past life? I don't understand anything, so how am I supposed to explain that?" Yuzu said with a hint of worry.

"If someone as inexperienced as you can think of such an important question, then you must be a genius from your past life. There's nothing to worry about." Cancer smiled slightly.

"Besides, how will I contact you when I get back..." Yuzu always takes care of all sorts of things before going on a long trip, let alone this time when it's time travel.

However, he lost consciousness before he could finish speaking.

It was Cancer. Cancer was annoyed by his endless nagging. With a sudden thought, Cancer shook the little wind chime and tore open a spacetime rift, pushing Yuzu inside.
