180: Chapter 180 Searching for Humanity

Behind Yisa, two pairs of eyes had been watching her.

"See that?"

"Because of this decision, that elf lost her family."

"How despairing must a child who lost her family be in a world like this?"

When Yisa was heading to Lin Sheng's home earlier, Lin Sheng was actually almost home as well.

After sensing someone else in his house, Lin Sheng and Yeros hid themselves, observing every move the elf made.

After witnessing all this, the expression on Yeros's face became exceptionally complex.

She knew very well that this wasn't an isolated case.

She wanted to reveal herself and apologize to the young elven girl.

But just as she was about to do so, Lin Sheng grabbed her.

Lin Sheng understood clearly that Yisa wouldn't blame the Ximi God; Yeros didn't need to apologize.

Besides, even if she apologized, it would be useless.

She couldn't bring back the believers who had become heretics, nor could she directly abolish the decision to "allow Strange Gods to spread their faith in the Ximi Starfield."

"When you realize a mistake, you should correct it instead of thinking about how to apologize."

"Furthermore, do you think an apology will do any good?"

Hearing this, Yeros stopped in her tracks and didn't move forward.

She felt Lin Sheng was right, but she didn't know how to make amends.

"What should I do?"

Beings with only divinity have one characteristic: they are quite straightforward.

Yeros didn't understand what to do, so she asked Lin Sheng directly.

However, Lin Sheng didn't understand this aspect either.

He thought for a moment and said:

"First, you must possess 'humanity' and think with a human mindset."

"Only then can you know what people want and properly govern these mortals."

Hearing Lin Sheng's words, Yeros felt as if she had been enlightened, and she nodded seriously.

"You're right!"

"But how can I possess humanity?"

"You can try living like a mortal and interacting with them more."

"Over time, nature will surely grant humanity, right?"

Lin Sheng wasn't actually sure if this method would work, but it was the most reliable way he could think of.

"Mhm, I'll listen to you."

...

After returning home, Lin Sheng rummaged through the counter and pulled out a skull that looked like it was made of clay.

The moment she saw the skull, for some reason, Yeros felt a sudden, inexplicable tightness in her chest.

She crossed her hands over her chest, using divine power to soothe the physical discomfort.

After waiting a moment, Yeros reached out, her fingertip lightly landing on the top of the skull's forehead.

"The Old Ones, and..."

"The Main God?"

Her words came out with a hint of hesitation, but Lin Sheng nodded directly.

"Correct, there are methods of both the Main God and the Old Ones."

"And I suspect the owner of this skull was a local."

"Using a local's flesh as a medium, the pollution of the Old Ones can deceive the Main God's gaze."

Lin Sheng shared everything he knew.

Then, looking at Yeros, he asked:

"Have there been any missing person cases in this starfield?"

"We can use that as a starting point to investigate the origin of this skull."

"I'm not sure, but there's no need for such trouble."

Yeros took a deep breath; Lin Sheng felt that her current state seemed a bit poor.

"He is still alive; as long as the outer curse is broken, we can ask him directly."

"Huh?"

Lin Sheng wasn't actually surprised to hear Yeros say the skull was still alive.

Because while he was handling the skull earlier, Omniscience had inadvertently activated once.

At that time, he realized that this thing was likely alive.

Now that Yeros had said it, it confirmed his suspicion.

However, because opening the skull was too much effort last time, Lin Sheng hadn't chosen to break its outer curse.

But things were different now.

With the section of chain Yeros had given him, Lin Sheng felt he should be able to break the skull's outer curse.

"Wait a moment, I'll try to break this outer curse."

Lin Sheng gestured for Yeros to wait a moment.

Then he took the skull back from her, and an eerie chain appeared above the skull's head.

The chain emitted a multicolored light that twisted as it tried to drill into the skull's body.

However, as soon as the light touched the skull, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

A faint sound, like the creaking of bones rubbing together, suddenly echoed in the space; Rona was so frightened that he immediately hid in the Deep Realm.

Beside him, Yeros also grew nervous, watching every move around them for fear that an Old One might suddenly appear.

"Creak..."

"Creak, creak."

Time passed bit by bit, and the faint sound shifted from "barely audible" to "noise."

Just as the noise reached a certain threshold, Lin Sheng suddenly retracted the chain floating above the skull.

He had somewhat underestimated beings at the level of this universe's Main God or Old Ones.

A being at the level of a Main God was comparable to a Golden Immortal.

Although Lin Sheng possessed some talents that surpassed the Golden Immortal level, those talents were difficult to use for breaking this curse.

To break this curse, the power of a golden immortal dao fruit was primarily needed.

"Wait for me, I need to go to the Deep Realm."

Lin Sheng instructed Yeros; he intended to go to the Deep Realm to forcibly break the curse.

Since the soft approach didn't work, he had to use force.

No sooner had Lin Sheng finished speaking than his figure appeared in the Deep Realm.

"Bo... Boss?!"

Seeing Lin Sheng suddenly appear before him, Rona was startled.

He thought Lin Sheng believed he had run away and had come specifically to catch him.

But Lin Sheng just waved his hand at Rona, signaling him to stay back.

After realizing Lin Sheng wasn't there to catch him, Rona breathed a sigh of relief.

He floated directly at the boundary between the Deep Realm and the Outer Universe, leaving the space to Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng took out the chain again; this time, in the Deep Realm, he had no restrictions.

"Mediating Creation" simulated the rule of the Outer Universe to suppress the skull's curse.

At this moment, the light from the chain was also frantically pouring into the curse on the surface of the skull.

At this point, Lin Sheng was actually still holding back.

Although the curse was at the Main God level and he could go all out, the skull was not.

If he couldn't control his strength, the skull wouldn't survive.

But even so, under the invasion of the light, the Outer Universe simulated by "Mediating Creation" was constantly being destroyed and reshaped.

During this process, the skull also underwent significant changes.

The skull, which had been as black as mud, now possessed a luster.

At that moment, a sigh suddenly reached Lin Sheng's ears.

"Sigh, friend, why go to such lengths?"
