Chapter 10

作者: MelonDeux
Gods could die. Estelle hadn't been lying about that.

Seven gods had already passed away before us. Once a god fulfilled their purpose, there was no reason for them to keep existing.

So they'd simply die.

Now, only Estelle and I remained.

But the demonic abyss needed a god to guard it, and the High Heavens needed divine power to keep it running.

Estelle wouldn't die, but she would never get better either.

She would spend an eternity guarding that dark, lifeless abyss with her broken body.

    Gods could die. Estelle hadn't been lying about that.Seven gods had already passed away before us. Once a god fulfilled their purpose, there was no reason for them to keep existing.So they'd simply die.Now, only Estelle and I remained.But the demonic abyss needed a god to guard it, and the High Heavens needed divine power to keep it running.Estelle wouldn't die, but she would never get better either.She would spend an eternity guarding that dark, lifeless abyss with her broken body.She would live forever, with nothing but endless years ahead of her.The thought of that made me quicken my pace.I could only hope Louie was still alive.Before I descended to the mortal world this time, the piece of Estelle's divine consciousness left in the High Heavens slipped the dagger into my arms while I wasn't looking."You're going to suffer a lot this time.

    Louie knew Stella would never hurt him.He took her hand without a second thought and leaned into her arms. "Stella, I hurt my foot. You'll have to help me back."Stella smiled gently at him and nodded. "Alright."I watched Stella from the crowd and got goosebumps all over my arms.I had seen that look on Stella's face only once before, when I was still very young.Once, I snuck into the human world just for fun. There, I trusted a heavily made-up woman who led me straight to a notorious brothel.Just as the madam was about to strip me and inspect me, Stella burst in.Young Stella wore the same faint smile she had now as she took the madam back to the demon realm.She threw the woman into a prison that held the most vicious demons in the realm.Stella never told me what happened to the madam, but I figured it out.Once the two of them were gone, the crowd had no reason to stay and soon broke up.I walked to the edge of the cliff and watched the lava churn and splash far belo

    The first time Stella met Lucian, it was in the small grove where she trained every day.Monsters often appeared there, so it was a good place to train.She went there as usual one day and found a handsome man lying on a pile of dead leaves with his eyes closed. Several monsters were reaching for him from behind.Stella never thought of herself as a kind person.Yet before she even had time to think, she had already killed the monsters.After that, she had a noisy, hungry shadow who followed her everywhere. He begged her for good food, and she spent every bit of the money she worked so hard to earn on him.Thousands of years later, that same tagalong had grown into a quiet, dignified ruler of the demons. He was also going to be her husband.However, she didn't seem all that happy about how things had turned out.Louie told her that Lucian had someone else in his heart. Otherwise, he would have been angry or jealous whenever he saw someone else beside her.Even when that person

    Just when I was tired of hearing all the gossip, Stella finally arrived.She looked exhausted as she slowly walked toward Louie through the foul wind rising from the demon cave.Then she avoided the hand Louie reached out to her.She said flatly, "Louie, if you truly want to atone for your sins, then I won't stop you."Louie jolted in shock, as if he couldn't believe Stella would say that. He sank to the ground in a daze.A sharp rock beneath his feet scraped his knee and left a bloody mark. He cried out in pain and reached for Stella again."Stella, I'm bleeding. It hurts so much," he whined.If he had acted like this before, Stella would have dropped everything and tended to his wounds herself. She would have used the finest healing treasures to treat him.But now, Stella only glanced at him before taking a step back. "This little injury is nothing compared to what Lucian suffered."When he heard my name, Louie's eyes widened. He trembled with anger, and his voice became shr

    I hadn't even reached the demonic abyss when I ran into Stella.The moment I descended, I noticed someone watching me. They followed me all the way into the night.I decided to take a bath in my old favorite hot spring.So I politely addressed the person following me. "Hi. I don't like being watched when I bathe."Only then did the person step out.100 years had passed in the demon realm, and Stella had aged considerably. Silver streaks now covered both sides of her hair.The moment she saw my face, her eyes lit up. Stella stumbled toward me, then suddenly stopped as if she was afraid to come any closer.She stared at my face with open longing and whispered, "Lucian… Is that you?"I frowned and cursed myself for being careless.The demonic abyss was right next to the demon realm, yet I had completely failed to consider that I might run into Stella.People always seemed to find something to do when they were embarrassed.Gods were no different.So I stood there going through

    Beyond the three realms, there was another place called the High Heavens.It was where the gods lived.Estelle and I were the only two gods left there.The world was already complete, so our only purpose was to keep the High Heavens running.Life was so boring that we both wanted to die.Then one day, a demonic abyss appeared where the immortal and demon realms met.It showed up without warning and began swallowing everything around it.
