182: Chapter 182 The Seven Saints

"Impossible!"

Hearing Lin Sheng's request, the young man began to struggle instinctively once more.

Lin Sheng gave him a very bad, even terrifying, feeling.

If he weren't physically unable to do so, the youth would have self-destructed long ago.

"No need to ask further; I already know his identity."

Just as Lin Sheng was pondering how to make the youth speak within a range that Yeros could accept, Yeros had already figured out who he was.

She looked at the young man, her face filled with guilt.

"You have suffered all these years."

Although the youth did not recognize Yeros's face, he recognized the divinity within her.

That divinity was saturated with the aura of the Lord.

"You..."

The youth opened his mouth, momentarily speechless.

Suffering through so many years of torment was unbearable, even for a demigod.

At this moment, standing before Yeros, a surge of grievance suddenly welled up from the bottom of the youth's heart.

The emotions accumulated over so many years erupted all at once.

Seeing the youth in such a state, Lin Sheng couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

Was this some kind of tradition in the Ximi Starfield?

Ordinary people were like this, gods were like this, and even this old fossil who had been sealed for who knows how long was like this.

"After you all disappeared, God came to the Outer Universe."

"To this day, God remains, yet only you have been found."

Yeros spoke to comfort the youth, and at the same time, she informed Lin Sheng of things related to him.

It turned out that the youth was once a Saint of the Church.

Fifty million years ago, the divine body of the Ximi God was not stationed in the Outer Universe as it is now.

At that time, the Order of the Ximi Starfield was maintained by the seven demigod Saints of the Church.

But one day, these Seven Saints disappeared simultaneously.

To investigate the cause of the Saints' disappearance, the first Pope of the Church, a Near-God of the Ximi God, chose to descend to the lower realm to investigate the matter.

But no matter what methods this Near-God used, there was never a single clue regarding the incident.

The Ximi God also seemed to have sensed something; at that time, she chose to head to the Outer Universe.

On one hand, it was to investigate the matter, and on the other, it was to prevent such a thing from happening again.

"Has it already been fifty million years?"

After hearing Yeros's words, the youth couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He had thought that the deity had abandoned him, and because of that, he had been somewhat self-destructive after being resurrected, even constantly thinking of seeking death.

But upon learning that the deity had not only not abandoned them, but had also chosen to remain permanently in the Outer Universe for their sake, the youth's heart was filled with nothing but gratitude.

"Do you know the locations of the other Saints?"

While the youth was moved, Yeros did not let him dwell on his thoughts for too long out of concern for the other Saints.

Regarding Yeros's question, the youth could only shake his head helplessly.

"I'm sorry. The entity that attacked us back then was very strong; I even suspect it was an existence at the level of a Main God."

"We were controlled in an instant, so I do not know the locations of the others."

Speaking of this, the expression on the youth's face became worried.

As someone who had gone through it, he knew very well how agonizing these years had been.

Although he didn't know the others' locations, he could guess their situation.

They must certainly be enduring the same torment he had just faced.

He did not want his companions to continue like that, so he turned a pleading gaze toward Yeros.

"Do you have a way to find them?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the youth realized the problem.

If Yeros really knew the locations of the others, she wouldn't have asked him.

Sure enough, hearing the youth's words, Yeros could only shake her head helplessly.

"I have no way."

The youth felt a wave of disappointment at the news.

But then, Yeros changed the subject, her long, white finger suddenly pointing at Lin Sheng, who was watching from the sidelines.

"But he should have a way. If you cooperate with him, you should be able to find the others."

At this point, the youth focused his attention on Lin Sheng once again.

In truth, if Yeros, a True God of the Church, hadn't been present, the youth wouldn't have dared, nor would he have been willing, to stay near Lin Sheng.

Because Lin Sheng felt too dangerous to him, and the youth could also sense a faint aura of evil emanating from him.

Although Lin Sheng also possessed a holy aura, no matter how one looked at it, a normal person shouldn't possess an aura of evil.

But since Yeros said Lin Sheng might have a way to help find the others, the youth was willing to interact with him even knowing how terrifying he was.

"I do indeed have a way to find the others, but I need your cooperation."

Lin Sheng didn't contradict Yeros; he treated this as payment for that segment of chain she had given him.

Furthermore, in the process of searching, Lin Sheng could try to help Yeros find some of her humanity.

After all, he had made a promise to help Yeros find her humanity.

"What do you need me to do?"

After Lin Sheng made his promise, the youth also began using honorifics with him.

Though he was somewhat reluctant, he wasn't the one in charge here.

Even though he was a Saint, the deity's authority was clearly above his.

"It's quite simple."

Lin Sheng smiled and said no more.

He placed his hand on the youth's shoulder; the youth instinctively wanted to dodge, but Lin Sheng just gave him a look, and he was unable to move.

The youth originally thought Lin Sheng was going to do something to him to locate the other companions.

But in the next moment, he knew he was wrong.

The process lasted only an instant; in the very next second, Lin Sheng withdrew his hand from the youth's shoulder.

"It's done."

"Are they all alright?"

Seeing Lin Sheng withdraw his hand, Yeros asked impatiently.

The youth also looked at Lin Sheng with hopeful eyes.

In response, Lin Sheng just rolled his eyes at Yeros.

"Do you even need to ask?"

He pointed at the youth.

"You've seen his condition. Do you think the situation for the others will be any better?"

Hearing this, Yeros fell into a brief silence.

"Please tell me the locations of my companions; I will go find them."

The youth spoke again, wanting to know the specific locations of the other Saints.

But Lin Sheng only spared him a glance.

"Even a Main God couldn't determine their locations. Do you think that even if I told you where they were, a mere demigod like you could actually find them?"

Lin Sheng's words made the youth feel that something was amiss.

Yeros had indeed said just now that the Ximi God had searched for fifty million years and had not found them.

But then again, if even a Main God couldn't find their whereabouts, how did the person in front of him know?

Could it be...
