At the same time, inside Meng Yao’s rented apartment.
The "woman" Meng Yao spoke of, after smoothing things over with Meng Yao’s parents, slowly pulled out a lollipop from her pocket and gracefully started to chew on it.
"I really am not suited for this kind of complicated logistical work, it’s just too mind-numbing..."
Despite her words, a satisfied smile clearly appeared on Taotie’s face.
"I actually think you’re being too kind to that little girl."
Unnoticed, a skinny, withered figure of a man emerged from the darkness and spoke in a tone that seemed to suppress something.
"She’s just a Divine Descendant who lost the ’Mythical Armament,’ she’s not worth all this trouble."
Facing the skinny man’s retort, Taotie simply smiled indifferently.
"This precisely proves that the little girl is not one of those Ancient Gods reborn through possession."
"Since the establishment of the 749th Bureau, the ’Possessors’ we’ve discovered number nearly a hundred."
"But how many, like you and I, have used the power of our Ancestors to break free, and even counter-kill the Ancient God’s Will? Are there even five?"
"That little girl, although she failed to counter-kill and almost lost her identity as a Divine Descendant..."
"But at the last moment broke free from the Ancient God’s influence, doesn’t that confirm her potential?"
For the "Possessors," Divine Descendants differ from the average "Possessor."
Generally speaking, before being possessed by an Ancient God’s Will, "Possessors" show some abilities beyond ordinary people, but just barely.
But Divine Descendants are different; they are descendants of the Gods, possessing abilities beyond ordinary people even without being possessed by an Ancient God’s Will.
With these extraordinary abilities, Divine Descendants are the only "Possessors" with the potential to counter-kill an Ancient God’s Will.
Unfortunately, counter-killing an Ancient God’s Will for Divine Descendants is merely theoretical.
To truly succeed, it requires the perfect alignment of time, place, harmony of people, and counteraction capabilities.
Since the birth of the 749th Bureau, only a handful have truly achieved this feat.
Among them, several succeeded only with the first director’s help in counter-killing the Ancient God’s Will.
"Yazi, enough about me. How is your task coming along?"
Hearing Taotie’s question, Yazi’s previously sinister expression turned into a bitter face.
"How do you think it went?"
"You know that big sister’s personality, don’t you?"
"Clearly, an Ancient God reborn through possession, yet living more like a modern person than any of us."
"Traveling on high-speed trains and airplanes, getting passports, enjoying makeup and fashion, and now even live streaming..."
"If it weren’t for her multitude of believers domestically and abroad, capable of replicating some real ’miracles,’ I would be the first to suggest her belief be abolished!"
Hearing this, Taotie couldn’t help but laugh again.
"I actually think she’s the true definition of a ’God’."
"Understanding how to keep up with the times, leading the way, isn’t that how our Ancestors did it a thousand years ago?" This content belongs to Nove1Fire.net
"Perhaps a thousand years later, the Divine Descendants inheriting her power and bloodline will be just like us."
.........................................................
That night, after evening self-study was over.
Li Hao walked home alone, memories of Meng Yao’s "invitation" still lingering in his mind.
Li Hao wasn’t the kind of fool with zero emotional intelligence; naturally, he saw Meng Yao’s fondness for him.
Whether this fondness was born from his help or from Meng Yao’s current dependence on him due to various reasons...
To Li Hao, it made no difference.
"Unfortunately, my goal isn’t Hua Fu University."
Besides his identity as a "God," Li Hao had another identity as the adopted son of the Li Family.
Back then, it was his foster parents from the Li Family who, ignoring outside gossip, forcefully adopted him, giving him a sense of reality and belonging to life after crossing over.
Therefore, deep in his heart, Li Hao really cared about his foster parents’ opinions.
And their opinion was simple: they didn’t demand his success, as long as he could attend any university.
In a sense, this was also why Li Hao never revealed his abnormality and worked hard to disguise himself as a normal person.
He didn’t want any disturbance in his current life.
Nor did he want anything to disrupt the peace he now had.
"I’m actually quite content as a person."
He sighed lightly and pushed open his apartment door.
Huo Dou, waiting for a long time, immediately rushed over, circling excitedly around Li Hao’s feet.
Bending down to gently pat Huo Dou’s head, Li Hao, like any dog owner, showed a gentle smile.
"Buddy, it’s only been a few hours."
"I don’t know what you like to eat, but ancient texts seem to record that you like to eat coal..."
"So I bought you some smokeless coal. See if you like it?"
He casually threw out two finger-sized pieces of smokeless coal from his backpack.
Sure enough, Li Hao saw Huo Dou swallow the smokeless coal and start bouncing around happily.
"Oh exalted God of Gods, I hope you still remember you’re a ’Supreme God’!"
At that moment, Hua She’s figure suddenly appeared from around the corner, speaking in a tone that seemed to admonish iron for not becoming steel.
"It is indeed the grace and magnanimity of a true ’Supreme God’ to show appropriate favor and mercy."
"But you should also focus more on your majesty!"
Before Li Hao could react, Huo Dou suddenly turned around and started growling fiercely at Hua She.
Sweeping away his earlier docile and clingy demeanor, the growling Huo Dou seemed ready to pounce at the next moment, making Hua She freeze on the spot.
"See, someone seems to hold a different view on this matter."
Li Hao chuckled lightly, not concerned about the tension between Huo Dou and Hua She.
Since yesterday, Hua She seemed to have realized that Li Hao was different from the "God of Gods" she had imagined.
As the only one with godhood experience under Li Hao’s command.
Hua She felt she had to let her temporary boss understand what it meant to be a truly qualified God of Gods.
So when summoned again, Hua She changed from her previously respectful attitude to begin nagging like an old mother, correcting all of Li Hao’s "unqualified" actions.
From Li Hao’s attitude and Huo Dou’s growling expression, one could tell.
If Hua She wanted to make Li Hao a "Supreme God" in the traditional sense, she had a long way to go.
