181: Chapter 181 The Skull Resurrects

Lin Sheng was as if he had expected it; he wasn't surprised by the abrupt voice.

He glanced at the source of the sound, then indifferently withdrew his gaze and continued his movements.

Lin Sheng's indifference didn't anger the being; instead, it revealed its form directly in front of him.

Lin Sheng stopped what he was doing, looked up, and stared at the tall humanoid creature before him.

Although this fellow looked like a human, its race was not human.

“Lift the curse.”

Lin Sheng handed the skull to the humanoid creature, an action that slightly surprised it.

“What? Can't even you, the one who cast the curse, break it?”

Noticing the change in the person's expression, Lin Sheng asked casually.

After clearing the things related to the evil god from the skull, all that remained was this layer of curse.

The humanoid creature before Lin Sheng had appeared here precisely because it sensed the curse being triggered.

“Hehe, my friend, your style of doing things is truly unique.”

After a brief moment of surprise, the humanoid creature took the skull Lin Sheng offered.

But it didn't immediately lift the curse; instead, it looked at Lin Sheng and asked with a smile:

“Do you know, my friend, that this thing can drive that starfield toward its destruction?”

“Once the secret is brought to light, its destruction won't be far off.”

Hearing this, Lin Sheng waved his hand dismissively.

“That has nothing to do with me.”

“Since my friend says so, then I am relieved.”

Seeing Lin Sheng's nonchalant attitude, the humanoid creature secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Sheng, this suddenly appearing “Main God,” was an uncertain factor. Although he looked like an evil god and should be an opponent of the Ximi God...

But the humanoid creature didn't dare to immediately classify Lin Sheng into its own camp or the neutral camp.

After all, the other's subordinate had killed a Missionary it was paying attention to just a few days ago.

But now that Lin Sheng had said he wouldn't care about the affairs of the Ximi Starfield, and didn't seem to be lying, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord temporarily categorized him as “neutral.”

“Friend, here is this.”

The Holy Crown Exalted Lord erased the curse and handed the skull back to Lin Sheng.

The skull now had a very obvious change from when Lin Sheng first obtained it.

The black exterior was now like a layer of weathered paint on iron; with a gentle puff, it could be cleared away.

“You've done well.”

Taking the skull from the Holy Crown Exalted Lord, Lin Sheng was not stingy with his praise.

But his tone was clearly the kind used when speaking to a subordinate.

Hearing this, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's expression turned slightly ugly, but it was quickly hidden away.

Main Gods are not to be profaned, but when facing another Main God and being unsure of their background, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord could endure a little.

“I'm heading back to the Outer Universe first. Be good while you're here, okay?”

Unsure if Lin Sheng did it on purpose, before leaving, he patted the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's shoulder and spoke those words with an earnest face.

With that, Lin Sheng's figure vanished from the Deep Realm.

Once Lin Sheng's aura had completely vanished, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord no longer suppressed his emotions; his expression shifted from calm to rage.

“Hehe.”

“An unknown Main God dares to be so arrogant?”

...

“Phew~”

Lin Sheng gently blew a breath of air toward the skull.

The black substances on the surface instantly dispersed, and a transparent, crystal-textured skull appeared before Lin Sheng and Yeros.

Looking at the skull, an inexplicable feeling of sorrow suddenly haunted Yeros's heart.

She didn't know why she felt this way, so she could only place her finger on the top of the skull to listen to its inner voice.

“Kill me!”

“Please! Kill me quickly!”

A powerful wave of negative emotion emanated from the skull—a death wish so intense it had reached the extreme.

In an instant, tears welled up and spilled from Yeros's eyes.

She could feel that the skull was in pain, had always been in pain.

This emotion even passed through the skull to Yeros, a True God.

“Smack!”

Noticing the situation, Lin Sheng slapped Yeros's finger away from the skull, which made her feel a bit better.

But her gaze remained fixed on the skull, unwilling to look away.

She reached out her finger again, but this time it didn't touch the top of the skull.

A Divine Light shot from Yeros's fingertip and landed on the skull.

Under the radiance of the Divine Light, the skull's body was completed in an instant.

Appearing before them was a burly young man; after being resurrected, his eyes were momentarily dazed.

But in the next moment, the young man performed a self-detonation without hesitation.

This sudden move stunned both gods, Lin Sheng and Yeros.

Yeros hadn't expected the youth to do such a thing, while Lin Sheng wanted to see the power of a demigod's self-detonation, so neither of them moved to stop him.

But while they didn't act, Rona, who was watching from the side, did.

Rona felt that the reason Lin Sheng and Yeros didn't act was that he was there.

It was enough for him to handle such a small matter.

Rona merely glanced at the youth, and the self-detonation was halted.

His slightly bloated body began to shrink back.

The youth's face turned beet red from the strain, but he was only a demigod; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from a True God's control.

“Can you speak?”

To prevent Yeros from suddenly crying again, Lin Sheng stepped in front of her and questioned the youth.

“Gege.”

“Hu...”

“Yes.”

Likely because he hadn't spoken for too long, the youth sputtered for a while before finally managing to utter a syllable Lin Sheng could understand.

“Tell me about your situation.”

Seeing that the youth could communicate, Lin Sheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But after he asked, the youth fell silent.

Seeing the youth's behavior, Lin Sheng felt he probably hadn't recovered yet. Facing this situation, he thought of a good idea and spoke again:

“How about this: since you won't speak, I'll do it myself.”

“Don't resist, I'll just look through your memories directly.”
