[BL] Heroic Death System (PART 1)

Chapter 112: Becoming Your God (XV)

Since Shang Ke's identity as an Evil God was exposed, the Shu Clan who originally operated shops in the city had all moved out. Although the Imperial Yi Clan had yet to expel them, they likely wouldn't be able to find a place to stand there in the future. So the Chief summoned the entire family to discuss how to proceed.

None of them wanted to give up their current comfortable lives. Once they left this place, they'd have to go back to wandering around again.

"If the Evil God had not deceived us, how could we have fallen to such a degree?" A young man said angrily.

"Yes, how could we have believed in him if we had known he was an Evil God!" Another person echoed.

"It was not easy for us to accumulate all that wealth but now with the Evil God's appearance, it's all been destroyed."

The crowd was furious and cried their resentments one after another.

Suddenly, a teacup fell to the ground, its crisp sound quieting the earlier unruly scene.

Tima stood up with cold eyes sweeping across the crowd, "What's the reason why our Shu Clan can live well up to this point?"

"Because a few children and I playfully gave a couple wild fruits to Uno! Just because of these few worthless fruits, God Uno drove away the beasts for us and gave us a safe environment to live in."

"It's true he's an Evil God so have you ever thought that because he's an Evil God, our worship can't increase his strength at all. But he still didn't hesitate to use his power to patiently teach us forging, cooking, medicine, etiquette and music... What god in the world would wholeheartedly help his believers like that?"

"Without him, we would still be wandering the mountains, struggling to make a living with our farming skills and being excluded everywhere we go. Because of him, we have faith, home, skills, wealth, and more importantly, he gave us dignity!"

"We took the benefits he gave us for granted but in the end, we turned our backs on him and resented him." Tima burst into tears, shouting, "Don't you feel ashamed at all?"

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

After a while, a man whispered, "But he's an Evil God..."

"So what if he is?" Tima snapped back, "Has he ever done anything bad to us? Has he ever hurt anyone? No! He had always been silently guarding and helping us. So no matter who he is, I am willing to place my faith in him. Even if I need to throw in my life for it, I will not hesitate at all."

Everyone looked at the firm resolve on Tima's face and felt somewhat ashamed. For several years they had depended on each other but just because they were excluded and criticized by outsiders, they gave up their own god. As Tima said, their sacrifices were meaningless to the Evil God who yearned to kill. But he still tried his best to protect them. The legendary Evil God may be terrible, but the Uno they worshipped was the patron saint who gave them new life.

Although the hatred in their hearts subsided, there were still many people who couldn't make up their minds. After all, they were a group of honest and simple people, to have them treat an Evil God as their own god... They have long formed a concept of right and wrong and it was not easy to reverse it.

That night, many in the Shu clan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. A few people climbed out of their beds and ran outside to cool off.

Under the starry night sky, the terraced fields of the Shu clan could be seen. The grains were flourishing which meant a bumper harvest in the near future.
