I.. Am God?

Within the galaxy's inner structure, particularly the realms, were also greatly influenced by the restructuring and the evolution of energy, with God's Land, Cane, and the Hall of Knowledge changing in the quark level, with its very structure becoming more sturdy, powerful, and can even generate greater products than they ever had.

Cane, for example, had grown sentient nature, and higher level of spirits with its tremendous change in the amount of qi inside.

While the gods were admiring the new and improved galaxy, suddenly, from afar, everyone noticed a strong presence coming towards the galaxy, causing everyone to be alerted. Matthias also turned around, shocked by the aura that the person was releasing.

Squinting his eyes, he then discovered who it was and chuckled secretly, "Denos.."

Knowing it was someone he "banished", he straightened up his back and looked at the approaching figure with a stern gaze. Asileius and the others noticed his change and were puzzled as they started to ruminate on who it was.

Suddenly, Yi Tiancai's eyes widened, "Is it.. him?" He muttered.

As expected, Denos, clothed in blue arcane clothes, stopped in front of them, "I greet you all." He bowed.

When the old deities saw him, they had mixed emotions. They were joyful that an old comrade of theirs had returned, but remembering the judgement that was passed upon his head, they were worried for him, especially so, considering that the very man who placed judgement on him was present.

He then turned to Matthias and bowed deeply, "I greet you, Godfather." He deferentially greeted him.

Matthias just looked at him sternly before asking indifferently, "Why are you back? Have you discovered how to return Bai Xia back?"

Faced with the ultimate question that caused him to be banished from his home galaxy, Denos stood firmly and determinedly as he responded to Matthias, "I am confident that I can resurrect Bai Xia back."

Matthias just hummed before waving his hand aggressively. After that, they vanished and reappeared inside the Hall of Knowledge, particularly the second floor, where Matthias laid Bai Xia's untainted body that never decomposed even when hundreds of years had passed.

When they vanished, the old deities that knew where exactly they can be immediately vanished and entered the Hall of Knowledge, and watched what was happening.

Inside, Denos walked towards Bai Xia with pain in his footsteps. Looking at her, he couldn't help but tear up, considering that it has been a long time since he last saw her. "You are still beautiful, my love." He whispered as he faltered and knelt beside her body and held her hand.

"You aren't here to admire her, you're here to resurrect her." Matthias uttered coldly. "Y-Yes, Godfather." Denos nodded before standing up once again and spreading his arms wide.

Suddenly, wind blew violently inside the floor even though there was no source. Denos' body lifted off from the ground as he conjured all the knowledge and power that he had accumulated to save the woman he loved. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Watching all these at the side, Matthias stood and looked at them silently.

Looking at him trying hard, Matthias sighed. Although he was mad at that time, He knew that it wasn't Denos' fault that Bai Xia died on the battlefield. No one was at fault because what happened has happened.

But what Matthias did know was, with the death of the woman he so cherished, Denos would definitely falter, causing him to be held down. It would be a waste of his talents and skills, considering that Matthias created Denos as a being closely related to Time.

If not honed, Matthias would've just wasted the days that he fell unconscious just to create him.

Matthias really just wants Denos' potential to be realized, and being confined inside the Hall of Knowledge really isn't that beneficial for him because it would just hold him back.

By banishing Denos out of the galaxy and using Bai Xia's resurrection as motivation for him to excel in his abilities, her death would not destroy his future.

While watching, suddenly, Matthias saw some reactions. Inside the white hole, specks of light suddenly poured out. It wasn't that that attracted Matthias' attention. Particularly, it is the state of the specks that made him notice those lights; they were somehow reverting through time.

From all over the galaxy, specks of pure, golden light emerged and gathered on top of Bai Xia's body.

Within Denos' body, things also started to change, with his energy slowly being siphoned out of him, and his physical body thinning to a noticeable degree. Matthias watched silently as it happened.

Denos was joyful when he saw the specks of light gather, but he immediately grimaced when he realized that those lights weren't fusing. He did all that he can do, but it resulted in nothing. The lights only stayed separated, floating above her body silently.

"No.. no.." Denos' tears ran down his cheeks, realizing that he couldn't do it. He tried and tried, with his bones beginning to show because of how thin he was getting.

"Revert. Revert!" He yelled incessantly.

Matthias just looked at him without emotions showing physically. Suddenly, he noticed that the lights were blinking, and something was trying to get to him.

When he volunteered to establish contact, he was shocked. "Let us live together peacefully, please?" A gentle, and calm-inducing voice of a woman sounded in his head.

"But, it's a test for him." He argued. "Please?" The voice sounded once more.

Matthias couldn't have the heart to refuse her with her pleading. She was his beloved daughter after all.

Sighing, Matthias raised his hand and fused the lights into one, singular orb and plunged it deep into Bai Xia's body, which shocked Denos. "Godfather.." He exclaimed.

Matthias didn't respond and just looked him straight in the eye, "I certainly hope not to see her dead body again or I'll make sure you would be staying with her in the afterlife, understood?" He stressed.

Hearing that, and noticing Bai Xia's finger moving, he immediately fell to the ground and started kowtowing repeatedly towards him, "Thank you, thank you, thank you.." He repeatedly uttered sobbingly.

"Now, get off and go down. I'll be the one to talk with her first." Matthias stated before waving his hand and throwing Denos down to the first floor of the Hall.

"That wasn't kind, was it?" While Matthias' eyes were still looking at the pathway to the lower floor, a weak but lovely voice chimed from behind him.

"Xiao Xia!" Matthias immediately rushed to her side and held her hand, "Are you okay now?" He asked worriedly.

"Mhmm." Bai Xia nodded cutely, and Matthias immediately rushed to hug her. A while later, Bai Xia pushed him gently and said, "Father, you really shouldn't have been that cruel to him, you know?" She said, which made Matthias grunt.

"He deserved it."

"No, he doesn't."

"Yes, he did."

"Bonk." Matthias was startled when, suddenly, Bai Xia's beautiful and dainty hands fell flat on his head. "What was that for?!" Matthias complained with his mouth agape.

"You shouldn't have been cruel to him." Bai Xia pouted. "Why are you defending him?" Matthias asked with a hurt look and with his hands clutching his chest.

Seeing Matthias' expression, Bai Xia chuckled and covered her mouth with her dainty hands as she explained gently, "I am defending him because I am his woman, and soon-to-be wife! And as punishment for you, Asileius and the others would be the one officiating our wedding."

"Hey!" Matthias' eyes widened and his mouth gawked, "Absolutely not, you can't! I am your father, therefore I am officiating your wedding, even if your nominated officiant is the goddest of gods!" He argued so much that his hands were already starting to move on their own.

"That's it!" Matthias suddenly shouted, "I need to leave, but I am not being excluded at your wedding." Suddenly, Matthias grabbed Bai Xia's hands, albeit gently, before going down to the first floor of the Hall of Knowledge.

When the deities and Denos saw them appear from the pathway, the old deities became happy while the new ones that hadn't had the chance to know Bai Xia before she died had their mouths hanging wide open because of her perfectness.

Some daring deities wanted to approach her but were immediately glared at by a mad Denos, so they backed down. Fortunately, Denos had no time looking at them, since the woman that his existence relies on was walking slowly towards him.

Tears started to fall down from Denos' cheeks as he stared at the gorgeous Bai Xia that was also looking at him lovingly. "I missed that gaze." He muttered with a sob.

Looking at Denos, Matthias' nose twitched, as if he was reluctant with doing it, but the hand that was holding her shook as Bai Xia signalled Matthias to stop it.

"Right, right." Matthias whined before snapping the fingers of his free hand.
