What are deities?

ive or six dead dogs were crushed in its steel claws! The possessed souls scattered, bones and flesh raining down from the sky. It turned its head, aiming at the remaining dead dogs below, ready to po...We ran to the safety passage beside the elevator, temporarily safe within the red glow of the ring. The powerful innate magical power of the spirit talisman rendered even fierce ghosts helpless.

No wonder Jiang Qiyun needs an "Earthly Child" who inherits his powerful magic power to break through the immense evil in the underworld.

Besides me, the other four people were all injured to varying degrees. They were mainly scratched by the ferocious ghost's sharp claws. As ordinary people, they not only bled and felt pain, but also had a sinister feeling invading their bodies and shivered from the cold.

Xu Yaqi was physically weak, and having just recovered from a serious injury, she cried so hard that she almost collapsed. Luckily, Lin Yanhuan and the bodyguard held her up.

My brother and I had just pushed open the safety passage door when the elevator suddenly "dinged" and opened right beside us.

In this dark and terrifying place, the lights inside the elevator are like the song of sirens, designed to lure in foolish wanderers who are desperate.

"Great! There's an elevator! Let's take the elevator down!" Xu Yaqi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. She was injured and had difficulty walking. If she wanted to escape, she couldn't at all!

"No!!" I immediately grabbed her, shouting, "Don't take the elevator! Run! Go down the stairs!"

Xu Yaqi's makeup was smudged from crying, her expression twisted with fear, her eyes wild. She screamed at me, "Your legs are fine! Of course you can escape down the stairs! I'm injured! I need to take the elevator!"

She suddenly pushed me, and I stumbled backward. The door bounced back and hit me into Lin Yanhuan's arms. Lin Yanhuan immediately held me up and glared angrily at Xu Yaqi, growling, "Are you done! If you hurt Mu Xiaqiao again, I—"

"What do you want! Do you love her or not! She's carrying your child!" Xu Yaqi screamed crazily, "You go save yourselves! I'm taking the elevator! I'm not running down the stairs with you! If there's danger, I'll be the first to die. You just want to use me as a sacrifice! Let me get killed so you can escape, right!"

She roared and backed away toward the elevator, turning to step inside——

"You can't go in!!" I angrily surged forward, enraged by this woman's foolishness!

"Damn it!"

I heard my brother's furious roar, he almost rushed over at the same time as me, reaching out to tear Xu Yaqi's belt!

Xu Yaqi had already stepped one leg into the elevator when we forcibly pulled her, causing her to fall to the ground!

My movements were too big, and my waist felt a sharp pain. I instinctively covered my stomach. Before I could catch my breath, I heard my brother's roar: "Pull your legs back in!!"

The elevator was empty, yet I saw a multitude of ghostly smiles in the elevator mirror...

In the blink of an eye, the elevator doors closed, trapping Xu Yaqi's small leg, and then the elevator cabin plummeted rapidly downwards!

Blood splatters!

Xú Yǎqí's body trembled violently, she leaped up from the carpet, her eyes wide with rage and she screamed heart-wrenchingly: "AAAAAAAAAA—"

My brother couldn't take it anymore. He crumpled a talisman into a ball and shoved it into her mouth, choking her neck, gritting his teeth: "Damn bitch, I'll say this one last time, if you make another sound, I'll throw you into the elevator."

Xu Yaqi's eyes turned white, and she fainted from the pain.

Lin Yanhuan couldn't help but say, "If there's really no other way, just leave her here and let fate decide."

I pressed down on the pain in my lower back and stood up: "No, it'll be a bigger problem if she dies. Now that she's fainted, it's better, let's move her."

"Xiao Qiao," Lin Yanhuan suddenly spoke, "You needn't feel indebted to her because she is Xu Shuji's daughter—"

I shook my head. “No, Lin Yanhuan, I’m just afraid that if she dies now, she’ll become a vengeful spirit, which will make things even more troublesome for us. It doesn’t matter who her parents are.”

》》》

When we rushed into the first-floor lobby, a possessed headless corpse with a gun pointed at us. Lin Yanhuan threw himself on top of me, and I smelled a faint scent of gunpowder on him.

"Lin Yanhuan!"

Our only barrier was a decorative fireplace, which barely covered us with so many people.

"I'm fine." Lin Yanhuan pushed himself up from me. "Just a scrape."

His expression was surprisingly calm.

The corpse across from them had no head, riddled with bullet holes, its body mangled beyond recognition. Even if possessed by a vengeful spirit, it would have struggled to move with such stiff and twisted limbs. Bullets flew everywhere.

"Give me the gun," Lin Yanhuan said, extending his hand toward his bodyguard.

The bodyguard handed him the pistol and said in a low voice, “Young master, there are fourteen bullets left.”

"Enough." Lin Yanhuan watched the twisted corpse shuffling slowly down the hallway.

"I silenced his gunfire. You get out of here now." His brief order came with a seriousness and coldness that left no room for argument.

"Little Qiao, go quickly." He frowned at me.

"Wait—" I just started to speak, but he suddenly stood up and fired three shots in quick succession into the flying bullets. The corpse across from us, wielding a gun, had its right hand ripped apart! The pistol fell heavily to the ground.

"Opportunity!" The word just popped into my head when my brother yanked me hard and dragged me out.

The corpse's left hand drew out a pistol again, and Lin Yanhuan shot the corpse's left hand to pieces.

This guy, as long as it's something he can see and touch, he seems to be fearless!

"Xiao Qiao, run!" My brother's voice rang in my ear.

But I can't go! Lin Yanhuan left the range of red light, that corpse was destroyed again, so the fierce ghost's target is him, right! If the fierce ghost kills him and possesses him, what should I do!

A bloodcurdling shriek, and a ghastly apparition burst forth from the corpse!

I jerked my brother's hand away and rushed towards Lin Yanhuan.

The menacing ghosts slammed against the spirit shield, its red light searing and causing it to shriek miserably as it fled quickly!

Lin Yanhuan was stunned for a moment, helped me up and said, "What sound was that just now"

"... Don't ask, just leave." Where did I have the energy to explain

Running out of the building, the chilling shriek still faintly echoed behind us. The injured bodyguards heard it too, all turning to me and my brother in terror.

I don't have time to explain to them now.

I stared blankly at the sky beyond the lake.

Under the indigo night, there were no stars nor moon in sight.

The massive, gray clouds seemed to swirl like nebulae, forming an abyssal chasm in the sky.

The lake water in the artificial lake churned wildly, forming a dark and huge whirlpool, as if being sucked into the abyss by an immense force.

Gradually, shrill screams and wails reached my ears. Countless ghosts from the nine-story building behind me were dragged out by a tremendous force, while others came floating in from elsewhere.

Underneath the nebula, above the lake, I saw a silhouette shimmering with a hazy glow.

The river rises.

His fingertips, even the very tips, were coated in a layer of holy radiance.

His gaze was downcast, his eyes, like molten lava from a deep abyss, held no emotion, no desire, only indifference.

Only cold compassion.

Heaven cracked and earth surged, evil spirits howled. We mere mortals could only look up in awe at his boundless power.

What is a deity

It makes people willingly prostrate themselves, devoutly offering their flesh and blood, just hoping their souls can touch his fingertips!

However.

All of this is delusion...e to leave.“Alas, everyone in the world knows that a forced melon is not sweet. As one of the Ten Witches of Ling Mountain, you should be able to see through the mindset of these young children, shoul...
