I would rather betray the gods

Just as Yuebai was stunned, a huge fragment of flowing light fell rapidly from directly above.

Given the distance and the speed, if she didn't leave soon, she feared she would be cut in half along with the green pepper. But she couldn't just watch her companion vanish into thin air.

In the nick of time, she frowned, steeled her resolve, grabbed the green pepper by the shoulders, and flew with all her might again.

"ha!!!"

She shouted loudly and activated the Silver Flash Technique at the same time.

'Buzz~'

Just like last time, the two of them feinted a few times but didn't budge. Green Pepper's feet seemed glued to the ground and couldn't be moved at all.

Her face turned ashen at that moment.

She even had a premonition of the moment they would be cut in two by the shards...

In her utter despair, a golden light suddenly shone in her gloomy heart.

Do not!

It didn't just shine in her heart, it truly shone in her eyes.

Before she could think any further, she felt a hand on her shoulder, and then she saw herself and Green Pepper merge into golden light, after which they were moved to a safe corner.

It was only then that her rollercoaster-like mind realized that it was Yuzu who had saved them.

Since becoming a god, the speed of silver light is the fastest speed she has ever reached or experienced; no god of the "golden light level" has ever shown her the speed of golden light.

After all, she was just a minor god in the half-heaven realm with no background. She was lucky enough to become a one-star Great Ruler, and never dared to hope that she could be "carried" by some great god to experience life.

I experienced it this time, and it felt completely different. It's like different classes of cars, with huge differences in every aspect.

So much so that, in that perilous moment, she felt not lingering fear but rather a sense of "good" satisfaction.

"Throughout history, very few mortals have been able to achieve the speed of light. Your current state is merely above that of a mortal, and you may only be able to barely maintain your ability to move as light."

Yuzi has a strong understanding and gets straight to the point. As she speaks, she raises her hand and creates a protective barrier for Yuebai and Qingjiao.

Yuebai nodded, completely convinced.

Then Yuzi lightly leaped and flew to Xu Xiangsheng's front.

"The descent of the Holy King to the mortal realm is a good thing. I don't understand why you, as the righteous god of this star, are so afraid of his awakening and birth."

When he's being lazy, Yuzu is gentle and refined; when he's serious, he exudes a gentle yet domineering aura.

His long, icy blue hair swayed gently with his breath, like the mane of a lion on the grasslands, exuding an aura of royalty.

"You only know the beautiful and prosperous world described in the prophecy, but you don't know that once this saint appears, this star will surely perish."

Xu Xiangsheng found it increasingly difficult to understand Youzi's true identity.

The sudden, dull pain in his right hand told him that he could fight again, but it wouldn't end well.

The black chain was a wound he couldn't heal. He had tried everything he could for so long, but to no avail. The black energy remained undiminished and now it was seeping out in the form of electric sparks.

"What makes people grow is not age but experience. Whether human or god, when great changes come, as long as you have peace of mind, what is there to fear, unless that person or god has selfish motives and goes against the general trend and the way of heaven."

Yuzu's tone was calm, and her lack of force was more powerful than her presence.

The moonlight shone on his long, icy blue hair, making it sparkle like dewdrops after rain, and highlighting his handsome and dashing face.

Perhaps there are idols in the divine realm too, like him, who is simply too perfect.

But below his shoulders, his ripped work clothes, shorts, and flip-flops from Earth perfectly accentuated the mismatch that only got worse as he went down. Even if he changed into a different pair of shoes, his 'perfect' appearance above his shoulders would still cover up all his flaws.

But his attire is so casual that fashion-conscious people want to punch him in the face.

Is there any room for tolerance?

Look closely, after he finished speaking, he lifted one foot and habitually scratched the calf on his other side.

"What a waste!"

Yuebai isn't a perfectionist, but he couldn't help but criticize Yuebai's lack of attention to his image.

"What a treasure!"

Green peppers are shrouded in mystery.

Yuebai wanted to have a good talk with him, but seeing his sleepy expression, she remembered that he couldn't control his primordial spirit to leave his body. In this state, he was like a sleepwalker. Even if he remembered what happened after his primordial spirit returned to its place, it would be as blurry as a dream, so she held back and didn't say anything.

Xu Xiangsheng was completely oblivious to all of that; all he saw was Youzi's rapidly improving strength, which allowed her to forcefully break through the light barrier he had set up.

He couldn't figure out what cultivation method Yuzu used, nor was he sure if Yuzu's current strength was above his own. In addition, the throbbing pain in his right hand made him somewhat wary, so he decided not to fight him anymore.

He didn't refute Youzi, but instead took out a piece of animal skin from his pocket, threw it to Youzi, and left with the words, "The last pure land [Disappearing Island]."

By this time, the fragments of light had all fallen away, and Yuebai immediately flew out of the barrier to Yuzi's side.

What is it?

She looked at Yuzu with a questioning gaze.

Yuzu, unaware of this, opened the container to examine it.

On the scroll, there is a picture of a sea, with a dot marked somewhere in the sea, and the words "Disappearing Island" written in the local language.

Besides, the bright moon was reflected on the sea, but the sky only had stars and no moon.

Is it a map?

Yuzu and Yuebai exchanged a glance.

"Coordinates? A route map will do too," Yuebai said angrily, glaring at Youzi.

"How should I know!"

Yuzu really felt like a sucker, as if he was obligated to know the answer just because he had the animal skin scroll...

Back at the table.

With a single soul-returning spell, Yuebai brought Qingjiao's spirit back to its original form.

When it was her and Yuzu's turn, Yuzu's eyes suddenly lit up. She said that the two of them could not go back yet, because if they went back, they would be completely drunk. Look at everyone's current state, some were lying down, some were sitting up. If they slept until dawn, wouldn't they all have stiff necks? How would they work tomorrow?

So, the two of them, supporting or carrying everyone, moved them to the adjacent temporary dormitory rooms for men and women.

With everything arranged, Yuzu closed the door and let out a deep yawn.

Just then, Green Pepper, who was sleeping on the top bunk, turned over, and by sheer coincidence, one of his feet landed right in front of him.

It didn't smell bad, but it was just psychological, so Yuzu looked disgusted and backed away.

Second toe as long? Doesn't support his mother?

Yuzu stared at Green Pepper's feet, lost in thought. He thought to himself, "Green Pepper has the same second toe as me, but who made up that 'don't support their mother' rhyme? Many people he knows, including himself, have second toes, yet they're all very filial. Judging by Green Pepper's character, he's probably no different..."

The next day.

The drunken group gradually woke up and, seeing that it was still early, went to a roadside stall to have breakfast.

As I approached the factory gate, I saw Qingyuan going to work.

"So early."

Qinghe greeted him with surprise in her tone, after all, what rich second-generation would work so hard?

If it were him, he would definitely show the setting sun what it means to wake up naturally.

"Weren't you earlier?"

There was a shed next to the entrance specifically for parking electric vehicles. Qingyuan parked his brand-new white electric motorcycle inside, taking off his helmet as he spoke.

How could it not be early? It's even so early that it makes me feel guilty.

Qinghe, afraid he'd notice something was amiss, quickly changed the subject, "Hey? Your new electric scooter? Why aren't you driving it? Riding an electric scooter is so beneath you!"

"They're all just means of transportation, there's no difference. Besides, I'm used to riding electric bikes back in my hometown."

Qingyuan held his briefcase in his left hand and smiled politely.

After saying that, he pointed to his briefcase to indicate that he had to get back to work, and then strode away.

As expected of a potential holy king, he was both approachable and aloof, and the crowd's confidence grew as they watched his retreating figure.

"From this day forward, a white ox will ride in the human world."

In this situation, Lao Xu looked at the electric scooter and muttered something to himself.

Yuebai knew Old Xu all too well, and upon hearing his words, she quickly leaned closer, "Is that also a key word in the prophecy?"

Old Xu was lost in thought when she startled him. He stroked his small mustache, smiled, and nodded.
