After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved

You Yi couldn't help but gasp, "…massacre?"

At this point, Fan Zhi's expression also grew solemn.

"The seven Divine Envoys were created to reside in the Divine Realm, replacing the Divine Lord to oversee the Six Realms. But such a monotonous life went on for too long, and even gods would find it tiresome."

"The seven Divine Envoys were born from original sin, and even though the Divine Lord had once purified them, they were still born from original sin."

"Thus, the God of Gluttony, Wu Mian, became voracious; the God of Sloth, Yu Si, turned lazy; the God of Jealousy, Ling Yue, developed envious feelings; and the God of Greed, Ning Yu, gradually became insatiable."

"Only two Divine Envoys did not change. One was the God of Anger, Li Zhi, who remained peaceful and accepting of everything. The other was the God of Lust, Tan Yuan, who appeared to still have no desires or wants."

"The God of Pride, Chen Yin, too seemed unchanged," Fan Zhi said, "but until the disaster struck, everyone realized that perhaps long before, this most powerful god in the Divine Realm had already grown weary of the life in the Divine Realm and the constraints of being a god."

"…Wait a minute," Li Muchen suddenly looked up, "you said the God of Greed, what's his name?"

"Ning Yu," Fan Zhi tilted her head, asking, "Why, have you heard of him?"

Li Muchen had more than just heard of him.

Ning Yu was the very Pearl Clam Spirit that previously possessed Huo Yu to entangle Shengsheng.

In other words, he wasn't some Pearl Clam Spirit, he was a god born of greed? Then why did he come to Hell and the Human Realm?

Also, these names Chen Yin and Tan Yuan… why are they so familiar.

Familiar to the extent that just hearing these names spoken by the girl in front of him made Li Muchen feel as if he couldn't breathe.

Seeing that Li Muchen didn't respond, Fan Zhi continued, "Even though the seven Divine Envoys had changed, ultimately they hadn't committed any major wrongdoing, so the Divine Lord said nothing."

"Or rather, the Divine Lord had always treated them as his own children. And with one's own children, indulgence is inevitable."

"This indulgence is the reason that led to the eventual disaster—the Divine Lord was too lenient with his children."

"Chen Yin's fall happened without warning, and no one was prepared."

"When she left the Divine Realm, the once pure and immaculate giant white wings behind her had turned black, symbolizing sin."

"Chen Yin first went to the Demon Realm, then the Immortal Realm, the Ghost World, and the Demon World, finally arriving in the Human Realm. Everywhere she went, there were bloody and brutal massacres."

"She killed demons, ghosts, immortals, demons, and humans. A fallen god; the greater the sin, the stronger her power grew, and no one within the Six Realms could stop her. The only one who could stop Chen Yin was the Divine Lord."

You Yi widened his eyes, "Why did Chen Yin become like this?"

"It's actually not Chen Yin's fault," Fan Zhi said, "She was born of original sin, and once fallen, she would suffer retaliation from the original sin. Her bloodthirsty and cruel instincts made her unable to stop killing. At the time, perhaps even she couldn't control herself."

"Or perhaps, I think, she was searching for the meaning of life within the Six Realms, but due to her original sin of pride, she viewed all of creation as ants. Unable to find what she sought, she naturally couldn't stop."

"Moreover, what was even more outrageous was that at the time, two other gods actually fell to follow Chen Yin."

"One was Ning Yu, the other was Tan Yuan."

"Tan Yuan?" You Yi was stunned, "Didn't you just say Tan Yuan had no changes, remained without desires or wants?"

"One could say that Tan Yuan only appeared to be without desires or wants, but in fact, he fell even earlier than Chen Yin did."

"A god who was supposed to have no desires, only love for the world, yet his love for those around him surpassed everything."

You Yi opened his mouth, "Are you saying, Tan Yuan loved Chen Yin?"

Fan Zhi said, "You could say he loved her desperately, to the point of being willing to give his life."

"After Chen Yin fell, Tan Yuan followed without any hesitation."

"Wherever Chen Yin went, he went, always protecting and accompanying her in secret. Even in the end…"

Hearing this, Li Muchen unconsciously clutched his heart, feeling the pangs of pain emanating from it, "…In the end, what happened?"

"In the end, what ended this long-lasting disaster was the Divine Lord who descended upon the Human Realm."

"Chen Yin was originally the Divine Lord's most beloved little daughter, yet now the Divine Lord had to personally kill his most beloved child. And the Divine Lord's kill was meant to completely strip Chen Yin of her qualifications as a god."

"Back then, the Divine Lord delivered a direct blow to Chen Yin, intending to shatter her Divine Soul. Without the Divine Soul and the Primordial Spirit within it, she could never again become a god."

"However, at that moment, Tan Yuan, to protect Chen Yin's Primordial Spirit from being obliterated, directly extracted his Divine Soul to envelop and shield Chen Yin's Divine Soul. In the end, as he was about to die, he pleaded with the Divine Lord to let Chen Yin go."

"Ultimately, the Divine Lord still showed a trace of mercy. Chen Yin was sent to the Netherworld in Hell to become a demon, with her memories and power sealed in her Primordial Spirit."

"But Tan Yuan… the one whose Divine Soul and Primordial Spirit were shattered was Tan Yuan. If the Divine Soul remained, with the Primordial Spirit returning, divine power could be restored. But with the Divine Soul shattered, he could never qualify as a god again."

After the long story concluded, the entire room fell silent.

Both Li Muchen and You Yi understood what Fan Zhi was telling them.

Li Muchen's hand slightly trembled; he took a deep breath and looked at Lu Sheng, lying on the bed, "…Are you saying, my Shengsheng is actually Chen Yin."

"Yes," Fan Zhi said, "My master saw the things you all went through, so she sent me to tell you this."

"Because both her memories and power were sealed in the Primordial Spirit, Lu Sheng didn't know she was a god; she always thought she was just a demon."

"But in truth, she is a Demon Soul Divine Soul. The Soul-devouring nail, along with the Red Fox's Unison Gu, shattered her Demon Soul, so now, in this body, only Chen Yin's Divine Soul remains."

"However, with only a soul and no spirit, this body would be just an unconscious shell."

"But with the Primordial Spirit returning to the Divine Soul, the Divine Soul can be repaired, and Chen Yin can awaken once more."

You Yi's eyes trembled, "But if Lu Sheng is Chen Yin, the return of the Primordial Spirit means she regains her past memories and godly power, will she…"

You Yi was indeed concerned for the world.

The massacre that Fan Zhi described earlier was too chilling to even imagine.

If Chen Yin were to awaken, if such a disaster occurred again in the Human Realm…

He certainly wished for Lu Sheng to wake up, but he did not want to see any disaster befall the Human Realm, implicating innocent people.

"She won't," Fan Zhi assured, her tone firm.

"My master says, everything is divine will," Fan Zhi opened her palm, revealing a small golden orb of light that appeared in her hand, "I got this from Ning Yu's hand; it's Chen Yin's Primordial Spirit."

Fan Zhi lifted her gaze, her eyes clear and resolute, "Before I came, I saw the things she did in the past year as Lu Sheng. I believe she is no longer the Chen Yin of the past."

As she spoke, Fan Zhi moved her palm. That small golden orb of light seemed to respond, flying toward Lu Sheng's heart and then merging into it.
