Chapter 68 Belongs
Lu Yi fell backwards, staring blankly at the ceiling.
“This is ridiculous…”
The faith of the human race has long since turned into empty talk.
What have those devout believers been kneeling down to worship all this time?
What is more terrifying than not being favored by the gods is that the gods you believe in have already fallen silently.
"But what are those powers of light?"
Ares didn't answer and just held out his hand.
The extremely pure power of light was jumping on his fingertips.
"...Teacher, why can you use the power of light?"
Lu Yi asked this question with particular difficulty.
He couldn't get the second half of the sentence out.
——Did you kill the God of Light? Did you devour his power?
Ares looked at Lu Yi and said calmly: "It's very simple..."
"Because I killed Him."
The Ragnarok tens of millions of years ago was essentially just a battle between gods.
It's just that Ares has never been defeated.
Lu Yi was speechless for a long time.
After a long while, he slowly asked, "...Is the blood and tears I saw on the statue the regret from the God of Light?"
Ares nodded. "The god has fallen, but the world that worshipped him still retains some traces of his memory."
“Wherever He has silently gazed upon in the past, there will be traces of Him.”
Lu Yi had a complicated expression.
An inexplicable feeling of grief over the death of a rabbit welled up in his heart.
He is obviously just a tiny human.
Even if a god has fallen, he was once a high and mighty god who looked down upon all living beings.
How could it be his turn to be sentimental?
Lu Yi thought that what made him sad was probably not the fallen god, but the thousands of believers in the world who were still full of devout faith.
"This remaining regret is probably the last thought that God left for his believers..."
It’s a pity that no one knows about this thought except Lu Yi.
Ares looked at Lu Yi, along with the sadness that was overflowing from him at the moment.
He couldn't understand the sadness that belonged to human beings, but he felt extremely irritated for no reason because of Lu Yi's slightly frowned brows and drooping mouth corners.
He stretched out his hand again and lightly covered Lu Yi's eyes.
"Lu Yi." Ares said stubbornly, "Don't show such an expression."
He didn't like Lu Yi's expression.
Ares's eyes fell on his hands that were covering Lu Yi's eyes.
His face was expressionless, but his voice was intentionally bewildered and depressed.
"Lu Yi, don't pity Him..."
"He has countless believers, and his remnants are still being worshipped... There is still hope for his resurrection."
"But Lu Yi, I have no believers."
"If I die, I won't leave any regrets behind."
"Lu Yi, don't feel sorry for him."
If you must be pitiful.
Then pity him——
Ares's hand that covered Lu Yi's eyes was trembling slightly.
The next second, his hand was held tightly by Lu Yi.
Lu Yi held his hand and slowly let it go.
Ares was reflected in his clear blue eyes.
Ares heard Lu Yi's serious voice.
He said, "Teacher, you chose me."
So you are not alone anymore.
It was just such a simple sentence, but Ares felt as if he was burned by something hot.
His internal organs began to burn.
The original pretended pity was suddenly replaced by an extremely inexplicable emotion.
Ares didn't know what words to use to express his feelings at the moment.
This emotion seems to be beyond the description of human language.
Ares suddenly felt a little empty in the human body he had created.
His spirit was burned by the tiny human in front of him, and the sudden burst of flames was impossible for him to ignore.
Ares, the god of killing, for whom the word "retreat" had never appeared in his dictionary, wanted to escape for the first time in his long life of tens of millions of years.
"Yes." Ares said hoarsely, "I chose you."
——If you cut off my limbs, they will belong to me forever.
——Until the end of my life.
…
That night.
Lu Yi, wearing an invisibility cloak, quietly climbed into the back mountain.
He had just finished coaxing teacher Ares, but Lu Yi did not forget that there was a poor little Ares waiting for him in the back mountain.
After all, he had planned to go to the back mountain after the freshman competition.
For this reason, he reluctantly upgraded his invisibility cloak.
Lu Yi’s plan was perfect, but when he stood at the back mountain again.
Lu Yi realized that he might have thought things were too simple.
He actually didn't know how he got into the cave before? !
At that time, Lu Yi's feet did not even touch the ground at the back mountain. He fell directly into the cave space without any clothes on.
Now if Lu Yi wants to go back to that cave, he doesn’t know what to do.
He could only wander around the back mountain aimlessly, trying to chance his way into the cave.
But it is obvious that Lu Yi's luck tonight is not very good.
He wandered around the back mountain for two hours but found nothing.
During these two hours, Lu Yi tried to seek help from 857.
But 857 spread his hands and said helplessly that since it was a matter concerning the gods, it would take at least S+ level props.
Lu Yi gritted his teeth.
Lu Yi gritted his teeth again, but in the end he was reluctant to buy an S+ item that cost thousands of dollars and ended up being a one-time use item.
[“…It’s okay. I have a solution.”]
Lu Yi looked at the small tentacle in his system backpack.
The small tentacles can no longer be counted on, but the big tentacles are still very hopeful!
Lu Yi remembered that there was a large group of tentacles in the cave, and the small one in his hand was cut off from the large tentacle!
Teacher Ares said that the tentacle belonged to him, so he must have a way to find the cave.
Lu Yi thought of a solution and immediately decided to go back.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Yi went to look for Teacher Ares.
Ares seemed a little surprised by his early morning visit.
But soon this doubt turned into implicit surprise, and Ares smiled and invited Lu Yi in.
"Lu Yi, I'm glad to see you. Would you like to come in and sit down?"
However, Lu Yi shook his head and looked at him with a hesitant look.
The corners of Ares's mouth froze slightly, and a mess of guesses suddenly emerged.
"……What's wrong?"
He won't accept regrets, never!
"that is……"
"You can just tell me anything you want to say." Ares said, "You never have to think too much in front of me, Lu Yi."
Lu Yi was still hesitant as to whether he should lay some groundwork.
He still hasn't figured out what the connection is between the two Ares.
But Lu Yi thought that it was probably not a good relationship, otherwise how could one of them be doing so well while the other was so poor that he was trapped underground and could not see the light of day.
Out of a desperate thought, Lu Yi even had some thoughts about whether he should go find poor little Ares.
But the next second, Lu Yi felt a little guilty for having such thoughts.
After all, he had promised Ares that he would definitely go back.
He once promised Ares, the god of slaughter, that he would return to the cave.
Even if Lu Yi is confident now that he breaks his promise, he will not be punished by Ares, the god of killing.
But promises are never meant to be broken.
Lu Yi's eyes became firm again.
He opened his mouth slightly, and Ares held his breath as he did.
"Teacher, I want to go to an underground cave to study."
Ares breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second his emotions turned to another extreme.
Lu Yi looked at Ares and said seriously: "Teacher, I know you must know where this underground cave is. Can you tell me?"
"Teacher, I don't know what the underground cave means, but if you don't want me to change anything, then I won't change."
"But..." Lu Yi paused, "But I must at least fulfill my promise."
Looking at Lu Yi's pair of serious blue eyes, Ares sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, of course I can tell you."
"Lu Yi, you don't have to explain anything to me."
"I'll tell you anything you want to know."
Lu Yi grinned and sweet words came out of his mouth as if they were free.
"Thank you, teacher! You are so nice! I knew you would tell me..."
"Teacher Ares is so nice!"
Ares couldn't help but curl up his lips, but soon he sighed again, "You should already know that the cave is connected to the back mountain of Bryside and Saint Dover... but going there requires a little bit of catalyst or factor."
Ares took out a small glowing sugar pill and said, "It's a very simple catalyst. You just need to stand in the back mountain and swallow this pill, and you can enter the underground cave."
Ares added: "Don't worry, these are little sugar pills, orange flavored."
Lu Yi had a strange expression on his face, "Teacher, how do you know I like to eat oranges?"
"As a godfather and teacher, isn't it normal to know some of your students' preferences?" Ares said confidently.
Lu Yi laughed immediately when he heard that.
"Teacher, now I am sure that you really only know one thing."
Ares looked puzzled.
"Teacher Ares, although I like eating oranges, I don't like any orange-flavored food other than oranges."
Ares was even more confused, "Isn't this the same thing?"
"Of course they are different!" Lu Yichao said loudly, "How can two oranges taste the same?"
Comparing oranges with orange flavor is an insult to oranges!
Lu Yi would never allow anyone to confuse these two completely different things.
"Okay." Seeing that Lu Yi was still upset and seemed to be very concerned, Ares immediately changed his words, "It's different, it's different. One is fresh fruit, and the other is just another food with orange flavor added. Of course they are different. You are right, and the teacher is wrong."
Humans are truly a strange species.
But even if he is a strange species, Lu Yi is the cutest strange human being, Ares thought.
Lu Yi nodded with satisfaction, "Teacher, then I'm leaving?"
"Wait." Ares handed Lu Yi another identical candy pill, "This time it's grape flavored."
"Would you like it?"
Ares looked at Lu Yi, and there seemed to be a hint of caution in his eyes.
"I like it!" Lu Yi took the candy pill.
I don’t like orange flavor, but Lu Yi likes grape flavor!
"Teacher, I'm leaving now. I'll come find you after I've fulfilled my promise!"
"goodbye!"
Lu Yi turned and left.
His movement of turning and leaving brought up a breeze, and his farewell words also floated in the air.
Ares stood quietly at the door and watched Lu Yi leave.
Haha, it's just a burden that has been abandoned.
What qualifications do you have to monopolize his attention?
Only when he could no longer see Lu Yi's back did Ares slowly close the door and walk back into the darkness with an expressionless face.

Sorry it's a bit late.
