Chapter 60 After reading the account of what happened, the director found it somewhat absurd, as it all seemed out of place with his already limited memory...

After reading the account of what happened, the director found it somewhat absurd, as it differed significantly from his already limited memories.

In that so-called murder case, his mother was nothing more than a useless expendable object.

He didn't have to die; it was all just a play.

The "accident" happened simply: a very valuable treasure was stolen. Before that, they had not properly figured out how to use it, and it was taken away by another "beheading man" in the research institute.

This treasure is known as the "Spirit of the World".

The "Beheader" is a low-level monster that, after being killed by the Beheader, may become a new Beheader monster, and enjoys cutting off other people's heads to see if they are its own.

Their research suggests that the reason this low-level monster was captured was because it was bewitched by the treasure. This monster, which has no intelligence whatsoever, actually pretended to be seriously injured and stole "him" at the cost of half its life.

They could have taken it back immediately, but since this was the first time they had seen this treasure react, they hesitated.

This might be their chance to drive all the outside forces out of their world, so they acquiesced, and no one objected.

They discovered that the power grew stronger when the treasure was outside, and that "it" would devour these strange creatures that were difficult for them to deal with. So they acquiesced, even if it meant sacrificing some ordinary civilians.

This is something that those above know in tacit agreement, but those below don't.

When he was discovered in one place, the local garrison was very responsible and, after paying a certain price, captured the "beheaded man" and brought him back.

When those in charge arrived in a hurry, they discovered that the treasure the strange creature was "guarding" was gone, which greatly alarmed them. To avoid being held responsible, they decided to try and retrieve the treasure first.

How to find it? It's very simple. This beheaded man has a strong connection to this treasure, so all they need to do is release the captured "beheaded man".

What happened later was beyond their control, but most of their subordinates put the people first. Many did not want to let go of this monster that was obviously extremely harmful to society, especially the uncle who sacrificed most of his teammates.

But in the end they let them go, saying it was for the future of the world.

But things didn't go as they expected. Sure enough, the strange creature found the treasure again soon after. This relieved them all. But soon they lost track of them; even the country that had always been able to locate them could no longer find them.

They rushed over but found only the decapitated body of an ordinary woman. There was no eerie figure.

They rushed to his house not because his mother had been murdered, but because they felt that his mother, surrounded by a great deal of polluted resentment, would become a monster.

Even after discovering that she hadn't turned into a monster, they intensified the pollution to find out the monster's whereabouts, and hastily brought her son to her to deepen her obsession and make her linger in the world.

That's the real reason they're looking for him; so no one is ever truly kind-hearted.

This incident was already a source of great guilt for the older man, but what made him feel even more guilty was that his father had been a member of their team and had sacrificed his life, which amplified his feelings of guilt.

Even after he was promoted, he still held a grudge about this incident. He was an upright person. Should we blame him? Probably not, because he was powerless to do anything about it; he had already done almost everything he could.

The director easily deduced his thoughts, and seeing the weathered old man, he ran away without hesitation.

He was certain that he had absolutely, positively never asked this man about his mother in his past life. He didn't remember anything that happened after that.

Without hesitation, he went to the cemetery, took out a shovel from who-knows-where, and shoveled through the silent graves until he reached his mother's grave. He continued shoveling until he saw the coffin, because cremation was not permitted at the time due to its special nature.

With a forceful insertion into the middle of the coffin lid—the dilapidated coffin creaked under the strain.

Inside was only a rotting head, infested with maggots that were crawling around inside.

He took out a piece of cloth and wrapped the head up, remembering their description of beheadings—that they spent their entire lives searching for their own heads.

——

When he got back, his mother was still waiting for him.

For some reason, he could always understand what his mother was saying clearly. He replied softly, "I didn't fight. I have some mud on me because it rained and the road was difficult to walk on."

Then he unfolded the cloth in his hand, "Mom, I've found your things for you."

His mother was stunned at first, then reached out and took it. She stood there for a long time, then looked at the director.

The director nodded gently. "It's alright, Mother. I'm all grown up now and can take care of myself."

The mother pressed the rotting head against her own neck. The blood vessels on it had fused and decayed. In just a few minutes, she had turned into a corpse that had been rotting for several years, and then slowly became silent.

He gazed at it for a long time before reluctantly walking towards a small room.

Open a small box...

Looking back now, everything seems too coincidental. Everything just happened to be perfect. His mother returned right after they lifted their surveillance on him, and there was this one person who could help them just when they needed to move.

Everything was too coincidental; it was more like it was being manipulated.

When his mother came back, she locked the head she was holding in this box.

At the time, he didn't ask, but now he realizes that it wasn't a brain at all, but rather a treasure called the spirit of the world.

Looking at the round, glowing sphere, he understood that this must be the reason he came to this world. The reason they couldn't find the beheaded man was simple: he was eaten by this ball of light. After all, this ball of light was designed to eat the supernatural.

His mother was his new host body, but for some reason, she was not tempted and instead locked up the ball of light.

And then? He couldn't remember what happened.

————

The director opened his eyes, waking up from the hallucination, and remained in a daze for a long time.

He never imagined he would actually return to his old world. He had always believed that someone had tricked him, which was why he had come to this world. He even thought that because he woke up in a classroom, the god had this memory because he was a classmate, but he never imagined that it was all because of himself.

Therefore, his connection with the so-called god stems from a past life; he has come to understand that the sphere of light he saw in his previous world was a divine essence. A relatively complete divine essence—this is the divine essence manifested from the soul of God!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

In this world, gods seem to be born to be pampered beings. After he woke up, he could be said to be living a very comfortable life in this world. However, in the later stages, due to issues with his beliefs and worldview, he experienced a strong sense of disconnect.

To others, it was just that the protagonist had become silent, but only the doctor, with God's perspective, knew that he had begun to "sleep" again.

The protagonist is a good person who cannot bear to see his friends and teammates get hurt or die, so he almost takes on all the dangers, which is very tiring. In the end, the civilization in this world is able to continue.

However, some people were always wary of his power, and eventually the first conflict arose when one of his teammates was captured and taken to a research institute, which was eventually discovered.

In his anger, they broke off relations, and the protagonist no longer represented the officialdom but instead established his own faction.

"What should we do? He's too powerful."

"He is no longer one of us, no longer a guardian deity of humanity."

"His popularity is too high."

An argument ensued, and although he maintained his own views on good and evil, the doctor could sense the protagonist's confusion as he began to doubt whether he had really done something wrong.

The doctor noticed that the auspicious cloud that the protagonist initially carried was shrinking, and the black mist that had been blocked from view by the cloud was beginning to spread.

It's like a vicious cycle. As the dark aura started to drift in, he became more tired, and the auspicious clouds around him diminished. Their team was smeared by the authorities, and the masses were more willing to believe the authorities. So, they had to deal with these strange occurrences while also protecting ordinary people, and they were also betrayed.

All the team members who followed him out were exhausted and angry. Finally, they exploded.

The first knife stabbed at the protagonist was Li You's older brother, Li Nie.

As the doctor expected, after all, his ambition was always blatant.

The doctor understood from the beginning that this god was the protagonist they were talking about, the one the world favored, or rather, the one to whom the world belonged. The so-called godhood was just a nicer way of putting it.

In reality, it's just the protagonist's "corpse." Just like Li You, who possessed god-like power, was called a god. In fact, that divine spark was his heart. So how did they obtain this divine spark? You should know that this divine spark was originally the protagonist's heart.

Now, this power has been transformed back into the heart.
