178: Chapter 178 You're a Good Person

"This piece of meat is crying?"

Hearing Yeros's words, Lin Sheng looked doubtfully at the blackened piece of flesh she held in her hand.

How could he not see that this meat was crying?

"No."

Yeros shook her head.

"It's not this thing? Then what is it?"

"Besides, what does its crying have to do with you? Why are you crying?"

Lin Sheng didn't understand the logic of a being born as a god like Yeros, much less why she would cry over such things.

Hearing this, Yeros shook her head again.

"I don't know."

"But I know he is in pain, he has been in pain all this time."

At that moment, Yeros suddenly raised her head.

Even through the layer of black cloth, Lin Sheng felt as if he could see Yeros's eyes hidden beneath, filled with plea.

"Can you help me?"

"Help me find him, save him!"

"You..."

Having just accepted a benefit from her, Lin Sheng did not directly refuse her request.

Furthermore, Yeros's current appearance was truly quite pitiable.

At least, Lin Sheng felt that she was very pathetic right now.

The Water Elementalss that had been purified by Yeros, sensing her sadness, spontaneously gathered toward her.

They snuggled beside Yeros, silently comforting her.

Some high-level Water Elementalss even wanted to come over and persuade Lin Sheng to agree to Yeros's request.

Lin Sheng shot a glare at those Water Elementalss, and after that single look, they instantly behaved themselves.

Lin Sheng pondered for a moment, then gestured for Yeros to let him see the piece of flesh in her hand.

Taking the flesh, Lin Sheng felt that this thing gave him a sense of familiarity.

As this sense of familiarity arose, Lin Sheng already knew its source.

That skull.

Aside from the corruption it carried, the other auras of the skull and the flesh were almost identical.

Lin Sheng was certain that the skull and the flesh belonged to the same person.

After realizing this, Lin Sheng could basically determine who it was that Yeros wanted him to save.

But the problem was that he currently couldn't break the seal on that skull either.

However, now that he had a lead, things became simple.

He couldn't do it, but the Ximi God could.

With this in mind, Lin Sheng waved to Yeros, who had already composed herself nearby.

"Let's go, I already know where he is."

Hearing this, Yeros instantly looked over.

"Thank you."

She stood beside Lin Sheng, whispering her thanks.

Lin Sheng nodded without saying much.

He gestured for Yeros to shoo away the Water Elementalss, and then slowly flew toward the direction of his home.

Yeros didn't use her "teleportation" method this time; since Lin Sheng was leading her to save someone, she didn't know the person's specific location.

Therefore, she followed obediently behind Lin Sheng, for fear of losing him.

On the way home, Lin Sheng was still fiddling with the piece of flesh in his hand.

From this piece of flesh and the skull, Lin Sheng had already connected many pieces of information.

Combined with the bits that "Omniscience" would occasionally pop out, he already knew of a grand conspiracy targeting the Ximi Starfield.

The reason this pollution and the skull were so difficult to discover was ultimately because both the skull and the flesh were living beings of the Ximi Starfield.

By using beings closely associated with the Ximi Starfield as a medium, the mastermind's methods in this place could evade the gaze of the Main God.

As for the strength of the seal, that was related to the sealer.

The reason the sealer did this was to throw the Ximi Starfield into chaos.

And once there was chaos here, a large portion of the faith in this place would go to the sealer.

After all, the Ximi God did not restrict the faith of other deities from spreading in his territory.

If this kind of thing happened a few more times, the Ximi God's prestige would inevitably be greatly weakened in the periphery.

Over time, after many such occurrences, the range of the Ximi Starfield might even shrink by a significant margin.

Lin Sheng gave Yeros a look of complex emotion.

"What is it? Is something inconvenient?"

Noticing Lin Sheng's complex gaze, Yeros's heart tightened.

She didn't understand the meaning of that look and didn't dare to guess wildly, so she could only ask him directly.

"Um..."

"Do you think the Righteous Gods of this world are all good people?"

Lin Sheng's words made Yeros fall into deep thought.

Since her birth, she hadn't encountered many other deities.

Aside from the gods of the Church, Rona was the first god Yeros had met since her birth.

Recalling her opinion of Rona, Yeros, who originally wanted to answer "yes," could only shake her head in the end.

"I don't know."

Hearing those four words again, the corner of Lin Sheng's mouth twitched slightly; he had actually guessed that Yeros would say that.

Therefore, after Yeros finished speaking, Lin Sheng spoke again:

"If you don't know, I can tell you."

"To you, the gods of the world are not all good people; there are good and bad among them."

"Bad people all have their own selfish motives, like those gods who covet the faith here—for example, that fellow called the 'Holy Crown Exalted Lord,' or some Righteous Gods seeking asylum, and me."

By the end of his sentence, Lin Sheng had unconsciously included himself.

But after hearing his words, Yeros shook her head quite firmly.

"No, you are a good person."

Lin Sheng: ...

"Why do you always think I'm a good person?"

"I don't know, but you just are a good person."

When she said this, Yeros seemed quite confused herself.

But that didn't stop her from believing Lin Sheng was a good person.

"Fine..."

Lin Sheng was speechless.

After those few lines with Yeros, Lin Sheng almost forgot what he was going to say.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and brought the topic back.

"Let's talk about the 'bad people' again."

"Did you know that a Main God has already made a move on this place?"

"I know."

Yeros didn't say she didn't know this time.

She nodded quite simply.

"You just mentioned the 'Holy Crown Exalted Lord.'"

"Exactly, it's him."

"I'll make a bold guess that this disaster was very likely orchestrated by his subordinates under his orders."

"And the disaster cannot happen only once; as long as the Holy Crown Exalted Lord isn't dealt with, the disaster will always exist."

Lin Sheng's words made Yeros frown slightly; although gods lacked humanity, they weren't fools.

After Lin Sheng warned her that the Holy Crown Exalted Lord was a "bad person," Yeros had already categorized him as such.

But facing a bad person from the Righteous God camp, one who possessed countless "mortal believers," Yeros was helpless.

"How about... giving him some believers?"

"That way, both sides can have peace, right?"

Yeros tentatively sought Lin Sheng's opinion.
