The Return of The Lord God
âWe will become the saviours of the artificials!â
âNot only that, you said those people all have wings. I just did a rough calculation in my head. If they give birth, there is a 66.8% chance that our offspring will also grow wings to complete their evolution! â
âBut these angels are so delicate, how can they have children?â
âIf it were anyone else, that might be a problem, but who am I? Iâm a brain power user. Iâm sure I can find a way to keep them alive. You know that itâs not a problem for me.â
âMmmm, big brother is right. So what do we do next â¦â¦â
âI heard you describe the wingless one as their leader, and that he is very simple and holy. Letâs find a way to blend in first. Weâll first gain protection under their blessing and, then, weâll gain their trust. â
âYes, thatâs a good idea, but how do we get in?â
âWith bait!â
Eros had settled the group of angels and now planned to go out to look for Bai Lixin.
He had just opened the boundary when he was immediately taken aback by the sight before him. Two men were lying in a pool of blood, covered in wounds and unconscious.
The innocent god of love did not know that there was a deception. So, after testing the two men and seeing that they still had some life, he gritted his teeth and took them into the boundary, putting the search for Bai Lixin on hold again.
After a few days of treatment, the two dying humans finally woke up after Erosâs treatment. At this time, the God of love also saw their faces clearly and realized that he had seen the face in the boundary that day.
âYouâ¦you are twins?â
Zhou Ping nodded, âIâm sorry for the trouble weâve caused you. No one has been bothering you lately, have they? â
Eros shook his head, âNo, itâs quiet here in my boundary enchantment.â
Zhou Pingâs eyes lit up, âThatâs good, thatâs good. Otherwise, weâd have been returning the favour with your death.â
âWhatâs wrong?â Eros frowned at Zhou Ping.
âWe escaped from the artificialsâ base. Those artificials were experimenting on us brothers. We were so abused that we had to escape, but then we attracted many pursuers and somehow stumbled our way here. My brother went out to look for food for me and entered your place by mistake, but it seems that he was discovered by the pursuers behind him. Those villains were so vicious that they took an interest in the angels and tortured my brother about your whereabouts. â
Seeing the look of horror on Erosâ face, Zhou Ping hurriedly stumbled over and comforted him, âBut donât worry, we didnât say a word. And I used my brain powers to wash away their memories of you before I passed out. They must have gone back since no one has come to harass you after so many days. â
Eros sighed in relief when he heard this. âOh, thatâs good! Donât worry, itâs useless even if they know the location. This place is protected by my divine power and the boundary I set up. No one in this world can break it. No one will be able to enter unless I open the boundary.â
Zhou Pingâs eyes brightened a few more times, âThen we two brothers can rest assured that we didnât put you in danger.â
Eros saw that Zhou Pingâs face was sincere and he didnât look like a bad person. He remembered what he had just said, and asked, âYou said that you were being subjected to human experimentation? Why? â
âThose scientists and others have long lost their humanity. With scalpels in their hands, they enjoy the thrill of being in charge of peopleâs lives and deaths. We were one of the few artificial twins, and that intrigued those higher-ups enough to catch us both. There were many other artificials in that lab other than the two of us, but they werenât as lucky as us. Iâm afraid they are still in the lab todayâ¦huu â¦â¦â
Zhou Ping then exposed his leg and pointed to the large and small scars on his leg helplessly, âThese were all left by those scientists.â
Eros covered his mouth and opened his eyes wide in surprise, âThere is such a ferocious race in the world. Itâs just too terrible.â This was like purgatory on earth. The angels must not be let out! Otherwise, they would surely become fodder in the hands of those scientists and visitors soaked in formalin!
âSo, do you two brothers have somewhere to go now?â
âWhere can you go when you are born in a world of chaos and purgatory? We donât intend to stay in one place for long. Those men wonât stop until they have us, so itâs safer to walk around. Thank you for saving us two brothers. Donât worry, we will leave tomorrow and wonât cause you any trouble. â
Seeing that Zhou Ping was about to get out of bed, Eros hurriedly held him up, âHow can that be! The wounds on your bodies have not yet healed, so going out now would only be a death sentence. You can stay here for the time being since you have nowhere to go. It just so happens that my people are not very familiar with the lower world, and I have to go out on some errands. In the meantime, you two brothers can help me teach these children.
âThis is just what I wanted!â Zhou Ping wondered, âIs that okay? Is it convenient for you? â
âI trust you. However, my children are used to being pampered in heaven but are now living in a somewhat dowdy place. If there is any offence in their words, please bear with them. They donât mean any harm; they are just pure-minded. â
Zhou Ping nodded, âI donât mind. Weâll take good care of them! â
The god of love saw the sincerity in Zhou Pingâs eyes, so he too left with relief. He had seen Bai Lixinâs curse being triggered when they were in heaven, and he didnât know how he was after being delayed for so long.
Indeed, Bai Lixin was not doing well these days. Not only had he lost his strength, but he was also getting weaker and more sleepy by the day.
S419M noticed it and felt pain in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He could only look.
As he watched Bai Lixinâs health deteriorate, Eros finally found his way to him.
Eros saw the weakened Bai Lixin and tears fell from his eyes at once.
âIâm sorry! Itâs all my fault. If I had come a few days earlier, you might not have had to suffer this pain.â
There was never a moment when Bai Lixin was as weak as he was now. He slowly sat up and looked at Eros. âYou helping me is a matter of friendship, but not as a matter of duty. I do not blame you. â
Erosâ tears surged down his face even more.
Bai Lixin sighed and had to pat Eros on the back to comfort him.
It took a long time of soothing him before Eros stopped crying. He took a glittering dagger from his arm and slashed at his wrist. His blood flowed out from the cut. âDrink my blood. I am the child of the old Lord God so the blood in my body has the power and breath of the old Lord God. Using my blood should be able to temporarily suppress the power of the curse. â
Bai Lixin nodded and took the arm and brought it to his mouth. He drank the blood in great gulps.
It was miraculous, to say the least. Bai Lixin found that with every mouthful of blood he drank, the pain in his body lessened by one point. The weakness gradually disappeared, and strength returned to his body.
After drinking roughly 200ml of blood, Bai Lixin finally felt refreshed. It was only then that he stopped and gently swiped a finder at the cut on Erosâ arm. The wound instantly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
âIt really helped! Your divine power has recovered too.â Erosâ eyes widened and a happy expression finally appeared on his face.
Bai Lixin smiled, âI couldnât contact Dijia. Although I laid the God killing formation at that time, it was me and Dijia who sealed the pseudo Lord god. A while ago, Dijia said he was going back to the Void, but there has been no news. Iâm worried that something has happened to him too. Iâm going to the Void to look for Dijia. â
âNo.â Erosâs expression, which had just relaxed, tightened up again. âYou are only relying on my blood to suppress the curse for now. After some time, the curse will flare up again, and I am afraid that you will not be able to return. You should think of your life before you go find Dijia. â
âBut I must go.â
âIf you have to go, I will go with you. Itâs a matter of chance, but I was able to find two reliable people to help me take care of those children before coming here a few days ago. Iâm very relieved to have them to help us during this time, so Iâll go with you to find Dijia. If Dijia is really under a curse, wouldnât it be better to use my blood to dissolve it?â
Bai Lixin looked at Eros up and down, and suddenly fell to the ground and knelt on one knee in front of him, âBai Lixin will not forget Erosâ kindness.â
In the world, karma has a destinyâ¦
Bai Lixin was now very thankful for the truth of karma that he valued quite a lot. If he had not thought of repaying Eros for what he had done back then and returned to the Sky City to save him, he would not have gotten this help from Eros.
Eros would have maintained the Sky City for a while, after which it would have slowly disappeared with his death.
Those angels who lived in the Sky City would have been burned to ashes as they descended.
As for the mortal world, a huge object comparable to an asteroid would come crashing down, shaking the earthâs crust and triggering a catastrophe that would reshape the world, which had managed to maintain its peace, into a bigger purgatory.
As for me? Iâm afraid that the curse would have been triggered at some point, and although I wouldnât have died, I wouldnât have been in great shape either.
He got help because of his actions, and Eros managed to save his people.
In this way, their karma helped each other to blossom. A small act changed many things afterwards.
At this time, Bai Lixinâs mind was only on Dijia, and he paid no attention to the people Eros got to protect the angels. He had regained his divine power and was afraid that it would soon disappear.
Without hesitation, he made his decision and flew into the void with Eros.
