Chapter 251 The Road to Godhood
"After a thousand years of hibernation, I was awakened once again in the Xuanluo Galaxy. The direction of human society in the Xuanluo Galaxy has now reached a point beyond my expectations..."
"My injuries haven't fully healed, and Yu Jin's condition is better than mine. After I was awakened, I first found an opportunity to escape from the Xuanluo Galaxy's human laboratory and went to the Fourth Galaxy to check the status of the star gate."
"The good news is that Ember still hasn't found the Star Gate. The bad news is that it has fully recovered. I'm no match for it now."
"And, as fate would have it, I thought your weak human body wouldn't survive long in the apocalypse and would die, but I didn't expect you to survive the apocalypse for ten years."
"When I secretly returned to Earth and saw you become the highest law enforcement officer of Lake Arden, I don't know how to describe my feelings."
"The first stage of your path to godhood was a success. The glorious side of humanity shines through you, but the crisis is not over. The embers are still searching for the holy coffin."
"But I don't have any good solution. I can only pray that you will wake up a second time in the Holy Coffin as soon as possible. I will return to the Xuanluo Galaxy first. I want to make this world simpler so that it will be easier for you to survive after your second awakening. At least it won't be worse than Doomsday..."
"Alas, having said that, I have to apologize to you once again. I am an adjutant who is completely inferior to you in ability. I have not been able to change everything in the Xuanluo Galaxy according to my own ideas."
"In the fifth year of the Empire, something strange happened at the Star Gate. I knew that the Star Gate had been found by the Embers."
"The situation was critical at the time. I tried to forcefully close the Star Gate several times but failed. Finally, I could only think of one solution. That was to use my life to forcibly seal the embers and try to delay their release for a while."
"Time is running out. I can only place your holy coffin in the fourth galaxy. I don't even have time to hand it over to my good friend Song Yeqing, also known as Duan Meng. This letter was written by me in my dying moments..."
"I gave it to a simple-looking young man and told him that a child would be born in the holy coffin. I told him not to take her out of the coffin prematurely and to wait for her to wake up on her own. Then I returned here. By then, the tentacles of the embers had already reached the star gate and were about to arrive."
Because of this instruction, Liu Zhi had been guarding her until the 79th year of the Empire. Xu Lingqu's guess at that time was correct. Liu Zhi must have been forced to take Xiao Lingqu, whose soul had not yet entered the flesh, out of the holy coffin due to the attack of interstellar pirates at that time. She lived a life like a walking corpse for sixteen years until Lingqu's soul returned to its place at the age of 18.
"I rushed to the stargate and took it away from the Xuanluo Galaxy. I used the last remaining flame of my life to seal it on the moon. I don't know if the time I have left to delay is enough for you to complete the second stage of your path to godhood, but if you can read this letter safely, I believe I have already achieved more than half of my success."
"You must have awakened from the Holy Coffin for the second time. In this second stage, you still have a human body, but you possess some of the advantages possessed by the people of the Embrys Galaxy, such as a special body structure, memory retention from the first stage, and mental strength that has adapted to the highest level..."
"Your best choice now is to put down these letters, leave here, and end your second stage of life. The next time you emerge from the Holy Coffin, you will be a member of the Alliance of the Olympians, the one and only God of War and Slaughter in this universe."
"And I, incompetent as I am, must have returned to the An Lili Galaxy by now. I will not die. Life in the An Lili Galaxy is immortal. I will only return to the embrace of the Tree of Life and await my next reincarnation..."
"I am your divine servant, your most loyal guard. I look forward to, eagerly await the day when you become a god..."
"I should have stopped here and shut up, but you know I talk a lot."
"In my final moments, I'm both lucid and confused. I wonder if you'll truly choose the path to godhood that I believe is best? I've left this little fellow, Luminous, to you. You won't be thinking of taking him with you to clean up the ashes, will you?"
"I think this is a bad idea. After all, you still have a fragile body. Well, that's not true. In the first stage, as a pure human, you were able to withstand the malice of the Embers towards the Earthlings for so long..."
"Xiao Lingqu, please allow me to address you this way for the last time. During your first stage as a human on Earth, although I couldn't meet you in person, I still learned about your life through many channels. You, with your beautiful side of humanity, were truly vivid and lovable. I will cherish this memory forever, waiting for the God of War and Slaughter to officially descend upon this universe."
"Your loyal subordinates, Yinhe, Li Fengyuan, and Liu Chrome, respectfully present."
After Xu Lingqu finished reading the letter from Yinhe, he found that there was really a lot of nonsense in it, which was mixed with a lot of his subjective emotions, but also brought a huge amount of information.
To put it simply: She herself is not an Earth life, but comes from a galaxy called Anlilith. As a commander, she led the people of the Anlilith galaxy to sweep across tens of thousands of interstellar civilizations. She was chosen by the Cosmic Alliance of the Gods of War as the God of War and Killing, and everything that happened on Earth and the Xuanluo galaxy was a training for her path to becoming a god.
The two worlds exist at the same time, but they are not in the same time dimension with a time difference. The reason for their existence is that Galaxy used the star gate to create the Golden Plan. He did all this to prevent something called Embers from hindering her path to becoming a god.
The doomsday of Earth was caused by the Earthlings' own destruction when they responded to Embers' communication and exposed their own coordinates.
Now that Xu Lingqu has successfully reached the second stage, she has also reached the standard of being "endowed with humanity". As long as she ends her life and waits for her next reincarnation in the holy coffin, she will truly become the god of war and killing.
All of this is too ridiculous. If it were in the past, if it were the so-called first-stage Earth Human Spirit Channel, she would never have believed all of this.
She would feel that Yinhe's statement was full of loopholes.
For example, is this Alliance of Olympians really not behind any conspiracy? Are they so kind as to help her become a god?
But Xu Lingqu, who saw the holy coffin with her own eyes and came to Yinhe's tomb in person, had to believe it all, because this absurd statement solved all the confusion in her heart. And according to Yinhe, the Alliance of the Gods was so powerful that it chose her, and she couldn't escape.
Having come to this point, she had no choice but to believe it.
Xu Lingqu silently folded the letters one by one. She didn't know what to think. Lumin, who also read all this in the necklace, didn't understand it at all, but it keenly grasped that there was danger in the other world. Moreover, Yinhe was urging Xu Lingqu to end her life and become a god as soon as possible...
"Lingqu, we are now..."
Xu Lingqu turned his head and looked at the small path leading to the unknown. This should be the road leading to the star gate.
She looked back at the silver model tree, its branches swaying, as if it had something to tell her.
"Do you believe what Yinhe said?" she asked Liuming.
"I don't know, this guy often plays pranks, but this doesn't look like it..." Liu Ming was a little frustrated.
"He advised me to leave and end my own life to avoid danger and complete the final step on my path to godhood. Then he said to himself that I might not do it..." Xu Lingqu lowered his head. "It sounds contradictory, but it's actually quite logical."
"Will the God of War and Slaughter flee when faced with danger?"
[A little Easter egg: Why is the Lingqu Canal called the Lingqu Canal? The purpose of the Qin Shi Huang's construction of the Lingqu Canal was to support his southern conquest of the Baiyue. This river was born for war, but for the next thousands of years it continued to irrigate the land and safeguard the livelihoods of the people. The Lingqu Canal is truly the god of war and slaughter, but she did not become a deity to create more war and slaughter.]
