After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved

Ha?

The girl said she's here to rescue Shengsheng. She asked Li Muchen and the man named You Yi to stay, while the others should leave?

Who is this girl?

How is she going to rescue Shengsheng?

Why must they all leave, except for Li Muchen and You Yi?

The others were baffled by this sudden change, only Li Muchen immediately understood.

Though the girl seemed young, she must not be simple.

She didn't say, I will try to save them.

Instead, she said, I am here to save them.

Li Muchen's intuition told him, this girl is the key to Shengsheng's awakening. So he said to the others, "Everyone, please wait outside for a moment, You Yi and I will talk with her."

Without knowing who this intruder was, Li Muchen just trusted her words?

Jiang Ting and Old Mr. Shi were a bit uneasy, but seeing Li Muchen's resolute expression, they didn't say anything.

Soon, everyone in the room left, and the once bustling room suddenly became empty and quiet.

You Yi also didn't know the origin of the girl, he went over to close the Bedroom door. Upon returning, he met the girl's clear eyes.

"You're that Demon Hunter You Yi, right?" Fan Zhi said, "My master said you're a very upright and diligent junior."

"...Your master?" You Yi was taken aback.

Fan Zhi didn't answer directly, instead she asked a seemingly unrelated question, "Demon Hunter You, how much do you understand about your world, or rather this universe?"

You Yi didn't quite understand the girl's meaning, he asked, "By understanding, you mean..."

Fan Zhi raised her head, "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in philosophy; mortals look up to the sky, unaware they are at the bottom of a well."

"What is called heaven and earth is by no means a mere circle and square within mortal sight. First is the Divine Realm, those not divine are Immortals, those fallen are Demons. Gods descend into the mortal world, creating the Human Realm. All things gather essence to become Demons, the Five Realms' life goes extinct to become Ghosts."

"Simply put, this world is not just humans and demons. It is actually divided into Six Realms - Gods, Immortals, Demons, Devils, Humans, Ghosts."

Fan Zhi's words made You Yi listen intently.

This world is not just humans and demons?

No one ever told him this.

Fan Zhi explained on her own, "The Divine Realm is the highest level among the Six Realms and is a level the other Five Realms cannot cross. The Creator God was born with chaos, governing all things and controlling the operating rules of all things."

"Next is the Immortal Realm. Demons, humans, ghosts, and devils can all cultivate to become Immortals, though the methods of cultivation vary greatly, perceiving the Dao can become an Immortal, studying Buddhism can also become an Immortal, Dao is also Immortal, Buddha is also Immortal. The Immortal Realm is favored by the Divine Realm, making it the highest among the other Five Realms."

"Next is the Demon Realm. Demons, ghosts, and humans can transform into Devils through certain means, once they become Devils, they forget their original form and instead devote themselves to another world, existing in confusion and chaos, silently devouring the essence of the world."

"Then is the Demon Realm. All living things, whether flowers, grasses, trees, or birds and beasts, can cultivate to become Demons. Once they become Demons, they can break limitations, come to the Human Realm, and connect with humans."

"Demons possess evil strength, absorbing human essence to strengthen themselves, and can attach to human bodies to reincarnate and commit acts of evil. They violate the rules established by the Divine Realm, hence the reason why your Demon Hunter lineage exists with the ancestral duty to hunt down all Demons. This stems from your ancestors carrying out a divine mission."

"Lastly, humans have a finite lifespan, everyone eventually dies. Those who die naturally or by accident will come to the Netherworld, after some tempering, they reincarnate and return to the Human Realm."

"However, ghosts who die a violent death or have unresolved grievances, unwilling to go to the Netherworld to reincarnate due to remaining obsessions, will wander in the Human Realm. Ordinary people just can't see them."

"This is the true world."

Fan Zhi's words made You Yi take a deep breath, "...I understand. But what does this true world have to do with waking Lu Sheng?"

That's also what Li Muchen wanted to ask.

Fan Zhi glanced at the sleeping face of the girl on the bed, walked over and sat at the bedside, reaching out to gently stroke Lu Sheng's hair, "Of course it's related."

"The reason you can't wake her is that you either find someone who understands demons or find someone who understands humans to ask."

"But she lying on the bed is neither a human nor a demon."

"If she's neither human nor demon, then what is Lu Sheng?" You Yi asked wide-eyed.

Raising her eyes, Fan Zhi looked straight at You Yi, and said three words, "—She is God."

She is God?

Fan Zhi's words greatly shocked both You Yi and Li Muchen.

You Yi's lips trembled slightly in disbelief, "You... you're saying..."

"Let me tell you a story from a very, very long time ago, which was told to me by my master."

Fan Zhi tucked Lu Sheng in, and stood up again.

"Earlier, I told you that the Creator God was born with chaos, governing all things and controlling the operating rules of all things."

"But the Creator God has no form. The Creator God has become all things, merging with the world. But the Six Realms need a ruler with form and thought."

"Thus, at the dawn of the world, the Creator God chose the first human to develop self-awareness, turning them into the Divine Lord, ruling over the Six Realms."

"And this Divine Lord stripped away his own human nature of the Seven Deadly Sins' divine sense and purified them, creating seven Divine Envoys, responsible for conveying the divine oracle to the Six Realms."

"Thus, the divine envoy born of lust is pure-hearted and desireless, the one born of gluttony is disciplined and self-controlled, the one born of greed is generous and loving, the one born of sloth is diligent and proactive, the one born of anger is patient and gentle, the one born of jealousy is tolerant and compassionate, the one born of pride is humble and empathetic."

"However, should these seven Divine Envoys violate their original sin, they would fall into being Devils. If they commit even more serious crimes, they would become the most despised demons in the Six Realms."

Fan Zhi raised her head and asked.

"Do you know, among humanity's Seven Deadly Sins—pride, jealousy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust—which is the most severe sin?"

You Yi asked, "...is it anger?"

"No," Fan Zhi shook her head, "among the Seven Sins, lust is indulgence of one's desires. Gluttony is wasting food and reveling in pleasure. Greed is wanting more things than one needs. Sloth is evading reality, irresponsibility, and wasting time. Anger is hatred toward others. Jealousy is resentment toward others possessing more than oneself."

"Among the Seven Sins, the most severe is pride. Because pride means disrespect to gods, cruelty to others, and lack of empathy."

"The other six sins wouldn't cause much disaster, but pride is different."

"So... when the God of Pride falls, what awaits the other Five Realms is a massacre."
