This cobbled-together body somehow failed to allow the eye to grow back.

Gu Li's pupils constricted as he looked ahead. Behind the snow-white body lying on the ground, a tall figure gradually appeared.

She looked in that direction warily again and said, "This body has been abandoned. You never intended for Nicholas to actually descend in the first place, right?"

Because it was abandoned, it can be casually displayed to attract attention, and the missing eyeball can be treated as if it doesn't exist.

Gu Li looked at the figure and said, "I know, you must be Xie Li!"

She felt an even more oppressive aura than before, and her throat tightened: "You actually absorbed Nicholas?!"

The man who had been standing silently in the shadows finally laughed, his narrow eyes falling on Gu Li: "I didn't expect you to be so smart."

He covered his face with one hand and burst into laughter: "Hahaha, finally someone understands me! What Mother Goddess, Nicholas, believer?"

"Faith is the most useless thing; only power, and only power, is eternal!"

Under Gu Li's wary gaze, the man casually ripped off his clothes and hat, revealing a handsome face that was just as pale as theirs.

He stretched out one hand as if in a lament, his long, narrow, gloomy eyes peering out from between his fingers.

"This is all thanks to you. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have come up with such a good idea."

His voice grew softer and softer, as if he were looking at his own hand as if he were looking at his most beloved lover: "From childhood to adulthood, no matter when, I have always been behind He Shiyi, just because he is the son of the He family."

"Even when faced with contamination, He Shiyi was lucky enough to devour that evil god's avatar and become a worthless king!"

"And I will be locked up in the city, enduring endless loneliness and the unknown possibility of dying when my sanity collapses."

He hummed in response, enjoying the fresh air.

"But things are different now. I won't die. I'm the strongest now!"

Shirley grinned: "You think he'd cry his eyes out in front of me if I killed his cherished proxy? Hahahahahahaha!"
