Chapter 621 - 620: An Omnipotent God is an Emotionless God

Chapter 621: Chapter 620: An Omnipotent God is an Emotionless God

That person left. We were all stunned. Even as we watched the world shatter, we couldn’t snap out of it.

It was only then that I understood what the goddess had said.

An omnipotent god is an unfeeling god.

So, from the very beginning, all our efforts were in vain. There could never be a second goddess.

She cried and asked me, "Why? Why did she have to leave? She carried all our hopes. How could she do this?"

I was very calm then. I told her, "Because she’s no longer a person. She’s just a hollow god."

Afterward, the world shattered. I don’t know what became of that world, but I knew that I had returned.

Yes, I had returned to my original world.

But something was wrong with my mind. It was as if I was no longer compatible with my original body.

My powers had vanished, and I even began to suspect it had all been just a dream.

But when I saw the goddess’s heart in my hand, I knew it had all been real.

In my lucid moments, I wrote down everything.

I thought I wouldn’t have enough time, but I discovered that while my powers were gone, my lifespan remained.

Only after I had written everything down and placed the goddess’s heart within the book did I recall the goddess’s last words.

The goddess had smiled at me and said, "I am one blessed by the heavens, the Daughter of Celestial Favor. But this Celestial Favor stripped away my joy and my happiness.

It took everything from me and gave me power I never wanted.

I am neither happy nor content. Perhaps for me, maintaining the world’s continuation was the happiest and most joyful thing I could do.

I’m sorry, but I cannot save the world. If I were to take that final step, I would not save the world.

If you can, please extend the life of this world for me."

I’m sorry that I failed to live up to the goddess’s expectations.

Jiang Zuo stopped reading at this point.

The rest was just the author’s autobiography and a description of his world’s situation.

Only now did Jiang Zuo realize that this trip had truly been worth it.

Celestial Favor.

The root of everything was Celestial Favor.

Jiang Zuo didn’t understand what Celestial Favor truly was, but he knew the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique was a Cultivation Technique created in imitation of it.

’So, it’s highly likely that Celestial Favor strips a person of their emotions?’

’At least, accepting the Celestial Favor would.’

’Thankfully, Su Qi hasn’t accepted the Celestial Favor. At least, not that kind of sudden enlightenment.’

’In my past life, Jiu Xi definitely didn’t accept it either. It’s just too repulsive.’

’As long as she doesn’t accept it, she should be fine.’

’With the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires that I personally forged, Su Qi’s problem shouldn’t be too severe.’

But Jiang Zuo needed to solve this problem completely.

Therefore, he had to find out what Celestial Favor truly was.

’If one is truly blessed by the heavens, why would their emotions be stripped away?’

Jiang Zuo didn’t understand. He found that there were too many things about Su Qi that he didn’t comprehend.

But the clue still existed. He needed to make a trip to the Netherworld River as soon as possible.

So, he still needed to get stronger.

Only by becoming stronger could he solve all his problems.

Looking at the book, Jiang Zuo suddenly thought of the murals. ’So, does that mean the murals were actually based on this book?’

’They were too brief. It really is better to read the book directly.’

’Although the pictures were easier on the eyes...’

After putting the book away, Jiang Zuo prepared to leave.

He had to admire the book’s author, though. ’If his logic was sound, he could have sold his autobiography.’

’A person like that should be able to recover their strength.’

At least in Jiang Zuo’s view, there were countless ways to do it.

Just like his current situation.

But it was hard to say what exactly had happened to the author.

The other party was a Transmigrator, while he was, in a way, reborn. The world was vast and full of wonders; he just didn’t know if these things were man-made or natural occurrences.

Of course, Jiang Zuo wouldn’t dwell on this question.

It wasn’t necessary.

’I should focus on how to solve Su Qi’s problem.’

’Well, I’ve figured out the origin of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique. Now I need to help Jian Shisan pick the Celestial God Flower.’

’There’s another small question. If that Otherworld was destroyed, how can I still understand its writing?’

Shaking his head, Jiang Zuo dismissed the thought.

Then, Jiang Zuo put away all the books. They might be useful later.

Jiang Zuo didn’t care about the Cultivation Techniques and Secret Arts. What he cared about were some of the special records.

For example, this Otherworld Record.

He looked down on the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique described within; he was only interested in the information.

In Jiang Zuo’s eyes, everything here was ownerless, but some people didn’t see it that way.

For instance, the master of this place.

"S-Stop!" someone suddenly shouted.

Jiang Zuo turned to see that the one who had shouted at him was, surprisingly, the ball of light from before.

Jiang Zuo glanced at it and said, "An Artifact Spirit?"

Getting a clear look at the ball of light, Jiang Zuo realized it was a little, shabby old man.

He wasn’t much bigger than Duan Qiao.

’Coupled with the aura it’s emitting, it must be an Artifact Spirit.’

’A rather special one, though.’

At that moment, the shabby old man spoke, "Give me back my books, or you can forget about leaving."

As he spoke, the door to the data room slammed shut.

Jiang Zuo paid it no mind. He placed a hand on the wall, then with a casual wave, the door opened again.

Then he looked at the shabby old man.

"..." The shabby old man said in shock, "Y-You, how did you do that?"

Jiang Zuo had no interest in answering such a boring question. He asked, "Are you an Artifact Spirit from the ancient era? How much do you know about that time?"

The shabby old man yelled, "I won’t tell you unless you give me back the books!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Zuo returned all the books.

All except for the Otherworld Record.

This left the shabby old man stunned. ’This guy is so agreeable?’

Jiang Zuo said coldly, "Speak."

The shabby old man said again, "There’s still one more."

Jiang Zuo’s expression didn’t change. With another casual wave, he took back all the books.

The shabby old man: "..."

He had a bad feeling and immediately tried to flee.

But Jiang Zuo had already waved his hand twice. How could there be any chance for him to escape?

One hundred and eight Array Stones appeared in an instant, immediately forming an Imprisonment Array. There was nowhere for the shabby old man to run.

BANG! He slammed right into the wall of the Imprisonment Array.

Jiang Zuo shrank the Imprisonment Array, moving the shabby old man in front of him. He asked, "Will you answer on your own, or should I find the answers myself?"

Jiang Zuo spoke without any emotion. It sounded like he was negotiating, but in reality, he was giving him a choice—a choice between life and death.

The shabby old man looked at Jiang Zuo and couldn’t help but swallow. He felt that the person before him had an incredibly powerful aura.

Finally, he lowered his head and said, "I’ll answer."

Jiang Zuo said, "You’re from the ancient era?"

The shabby old man said, "My name is Mo Mingbei."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

Mo Mingbei: "..."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

A few bolts of lightning flashed within the Array, and Jiang Zuo’s hand began to reach for the shabby old man’s head.

The lightning flickered continuously, finally piercing into Mo Mingbei’s body like long needles. The most concentrated strikes were to his head.

"AAAAAHHHH! I’ll talk! I’ll talk!" Mo Mingbei shrieked in pain.

Jiang Zuo showed no signs of stopping.

"I’ll talk... AAAAAHHH, I really will, AAAAAHHHH!"

"I’m not an Artifact Spirit! I’m not really from the ancient era either! I’m from another world! Give me a chance! AAAAAHHHH... I’ll tell you everything, everything!"
