764 -3: I’m Going to Save Him Today

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat strange.

There were over ten yards of distance between Tang Xian and the deity, making it difficult to converse even within the quiet sanctuary.

Luckily, both of them had excellent hearing.

The woman said, “You should know, as long as you are in this fortress, there’s no such thing as safety.

You might as well come closer.”

“Let’s talk here, it’s spacious enough.”

Coming to the divine seat’s fortress to talk to a mortal enemy was a reckless move.

And at this moment, Tang Xian seemed very cautious—unwilling to take half a step closer.

The deity smiled and said:

“Are you afraid of me?”

“I’ve always wondered what kind of deity spouts nonsense, talking about consciousness, viruses, chaos represented by mines, order by the Pyramid, and all that babble.

Turns out it’s a woman.

Female literati often have this problem, liking to spout incomprehensible nonsense and read articles they themselves can’t understand.”

The deity did not take offense to Tang Xian’s mockery but simply said indifferently:

“Is that how you talk to your own mother?”

The color drained from Tang Xian’s face, he had already judged whose body the deity had taken.

He said coldly:

“Ever since that time I entered the divine realm, you must have had my data.”

“Yes, and it was because of that Prometheus was able to break into the divine realm.”

“His name is Tang Jing.”

“Hmm, he goes by Prometheus.

He played the role of Constantine for over twenty years for your sake, and ultimately his death was also because of you.

What you call him now is meaningless.”

“The divine realm is just a carrier of consciousness.

Ultimately, the way you summon people into it shows that it’s akin to some kind of power, similar to the Judge’s Causality Domain and the Nether Phoenix’s Spiritual Purgatory,” Tang Xian was calm, not losing his composure over the deity’s words.

“Oh?

Is that so?”

“When there were thirty-nine fortresses, with one look you sent me into the divine realm, without connecting to any consciousness transmission tool.

This shows that the divine realm is actually an area that can bind consciousness, which is a talent.

Therefore, Tang Jing should still be alive.”

Tang Xian’s tone was very certain.

Because Tang Jing had also realized this, he asked Tang Xian to save himself and hoped that Tang Xian could save everyone else.

The deity was silent for a second, and no images appeared on the surrounding pale blue crystal walls.

“You really are different.

Tang Wen and Zhong Yao gave you a great gift.”

“Yes, they are my parents, and I am grateful to my birth mother too.

If not for her, I might have truly become Constantine.”

“So shouldn’t you come into my embrace and appreciate me?

My child.”

The deity’s smile held a touch of divinity and motherhood, like a mother reunited with her son after a long separation.

Tang Xian hid his inner revulsion and said:

“That won’t work on me.

Nothing in the divine realm can hold me back, let alone this place.”

“What a pity.” The deity was not disappointed, as Tang Xian’s reactions seemed normal to her.

The only abnormal thing was that the crystal walls around them held no data analysis about Tang Xian.

This had nothing to do with Tang Xian standing outside the house.

The moment the deity saw this, she understood.

Inside Tang Xian’s body was likely a device left by Zhong Yao and Tang Wen, a device that could shield his data from analysis.

Even the children of order who could be parsed thoroughly were nothing compared to Tang Xian, whom the deity couldn’t glean more information from.

She had observed a vast number of human societies for hundreds of years, but she could not deduce his thoughts just by looking at his face.

The deity watched Tang Xian, and Tang Xian was also observing the deity.

In his estimations, the powers possessed by the deity were perhaps similar to those of Eden, and the talents of the various children of order throughout history were also in the deity’s possession.

This was an opponent that, at this stage, he simply could not contend with.

But even a deity had weaknesses.

“Let’s talk about serious matters.

Before I send you back to the divine realm or kill you, you had better find a reason for yourself to keep on living—after all, the last person who blasphemed against a deity could never return to the human realm,” the deity said first.

“A deity?

How about I give you a name?

You’ve obtained a human soul as well, so you should follow the local customs, shouldn’t you?”

The deity said indifferently:

“I do not need a name.”

“That’s a shame.

The name I’d give you is easy to remember and pleasant to hear.”

“I’m giving you a quarter of an hour.

After that, if you haven’t convinced me, you will stay in the divine realm forever.”

“Who are you trying to scare?

If there’s a logical collapse in the divine realm, all those consciousnesses would escape.

Haven’t both Tang Jing and I proven that?

If I go to the divine realm again, there will be chaos in your divine realm.

You can only kill me, but you cannot kill me.

If you do, you won’t know the Judge’s secret.”

Tang Xian seemed completely unafraid, but he still dared not take an extra step forward.

The deity’s expression remained unchanged as she said:

“The Judge’s secret?”

“The Judge might have entered the divine realm and was misled by you, seeing the most wonderful visions.

But what kind of existence is the Judge?

I’ve clashed with it.

Its distrust is deep-rooted.

Without certainty, how could it possibly let you develop for hundreds of years?”

Tang Xian’s gaze was sharp, as if capable of piercing even the deity.

The deity said:

“And what can you do?”

“You’ve overreached in recent years.

To humans, you might seem omniscient and omnipotent now, but you don’t understand the mines, while I do.

Do you know where the Judge is?

Mount Sanctum, like your fortress, is a place suspended in space, and it’s very hard to find the Judge.

But my partner and I know the way.”
