After the call.

Poor Chen Shouyi went to fetch water to bathe the two little ones.

"Good giant, did you go to find the bad mother giant again and kiss her?" The Shell Lady imitated Chen Shouyi’s way of scrubbing, her face full of resentment as she spoke to Chen Shouyi.

"Yeah, yeah, I smelled it too." The little red one adorably raised its head.

What a dog’s nose, he clearly had a bath. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"No kissing!" he lied with his eyes wide open.

The Shell Lady was immediately at ease and thought for a moment before saying, "Bad mother giants all stink; only the little ones smell the best."

"I’m also very fragrant," the little red one chimed in, not to be outdone.

"Yeah, the two of us both smell great," the Shell Lady generously declared.

Both of them were so shameless, was it innate? Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

...

The higher-ups were quite efficient.

The next morning, a special train for receiving the divine corpse arrived at Zhonghai; the entire cargo station and surrounding areas were under a lockdown.

A group of officers accompanied Chen Shouyi into the specially cleared large warehouse. The soldiers coming just from the Capital City were a whole regiment, and with the assistance of local troops, the number was probably more than a division.

"Isn’t this a bit exaggerated? It’s just one divine corpse, and people would rob it?" Chen Shouyi said.

The accompanying officers’ faces twitched at his words.

But...

It’s not like you can survive on thin gruel.

This is a divine corpse with medium-level divine power, far more valuable than gold of the same volume, an essential strategic resource for the country, real hard currency.

Who would dare transport it so carelessly?

One person chuckled and said, "It is a bit much, but safety first, and the lockdown will only last half a day."

Chen Shouyi just mentioned it casually and then moved on, not focusing on the topic, "Just leave it here, everyone step back a little."

"Uh, excuse me, President Chen, please wait a moment."

Soon, a group of soldiers in protective suits brought in large rolls of military waterproof tarps, carefully covering the ground.

After everything was in place, Chen Shouyi released the gigantic divine corpse from the space.

With a "boom".

The ground trembled slightly.

Then, the atmosphere became unusually quiet, with only the sound of heavy, rapid breathing echoing in the empty warehouse.

No one could remain calm in the face of such a colossal object.

This massive thing, about twenty-five to twenty-six meters long.

Even lying down, it’s over five meters tall, close to two stories high.

With the appearance of this divine corpse, even the air seemed to solidify, making it hard to breathe, and ordinary people here would likely have collapsed, losing control of their bladder and bowels.

Fortunately, there were no ordinary people here, and the weakest were at least martial artists.

Chen Shouyi looked up for a while, then turned to the stunned officers, "Isn’t it a little big?"

"Y-yes!" the leading officer instinctively replied, feeling a dry throat, then quickly corrected himself, "No, not big, the train can carry it all at once."

Chen Shouyi had originally intended to help with the disassembly but lost interest at this point.

...

After returning from the cargo station, he went to Zhonghai University of Technology to find Zhang Xiaoyue.

She was still in class, so Chen Shouyi had to wait at the dormitory entrance.

He was recognized, even alarming the school officials, and Chen Shouyi politely expressed that it was a personal visit and preferred no disturbances, finally escaping their hospitality. However, many people still watched from a distance or pretended to pass by.

A lot of people even walked back and forth repeatedly; thanks to the lack of smartphones, otherwise there would have been countless secret photos. Luckily, no one had the courage to approach and flirt, allowing Chen Shouyi some peace.

Keeping a low profile can sometimes be a difficult thing.

Especially like Chen Shouyi.

Fortunately, he was used to it.

After all, there was no choice.

Near noon, Zhang Xiaoyue finally came over somewhat bashfully, clearly having already received the news.

"What brings you here?" Zhang Xiaoyue asked, pursing her lips.

"Just came back from the Yan Continent, thought I’d come to see you." Chen Shouyi looked at Zhang Xiaoyue, whose face was full of joy, recalling yesterday’s events, feeling a bit guilty.

Blame it on the God of Fertility for being so despicable, with such insidious divine power that works silently and imperceptibly.

He originally had no intention; he wasn’t that kind of person, not interested in matters between men and women... not much interest.

But then... he slipped again.

The Barbarian God was no good either.

Zhang Xiaoyue was unaware of Chen Shouyi’s thoughts; hearing he had just returned from Yan State, she quickly looked concerned, "The newspaper said there’s a war going on in Yan Continent, and they’ve reinforcements lately, isn’t it dangerous?"

"Not dangerous at all, it went pretty well," Chen Shouyi said with a smile, "I can slay gods, you know."

In fact, aside from the scale of the war, in terms of casualty rates, the conflict on Yan Continent is relatively low-intensity. With humanity’s current strength, as long as no gods participate, even with dozens of legends on the battlefield, it wouldn’t cause much of a stir.

"I can’t see where you’re so powerful?" Zhang Xiaoyue teased.

"You’ll know when the time comes," Chen Shouyi chuckled. To really show it would cause fear rather than admiration, so he changed the subject, "Too many people are watching here, let’s go eat outside."

...

The Holy City of the God of Fertility.

Early morning, an uninvited guest arrived.

"God of Conspiracy, what are you doing here? You’re not welcome," the avatar of the God of Fertility spoke through gritted teeth; the stabbing incident from last time was still fresh in memory.

"The God of Order has fallen, and that powerful human hasn’t done anything to you?" The avatar of the God of Conspiracy, a young girl, didn’t care about the God of Fertility’s attitude, with a puzzled expression.

If that human allowed her preaching.

It was partially because there was some form of relationship, like providing intelligence on the God of Blood, or advising him to go to the Forbidden Land... though the original intention might not have been good, the outcomes were favorable.

But what about this foolish woman?

Even the powerful God of Order fell, casting her out should be as simple as waving a hand.

It’s truly strange.

There must be something peculiar going on behind the scenes.

"You’re also fine! Nobody should make fun of anyone, who knows what’s going on behind the scenes," the God of Fertility snorted coldly in response.

The God of Conspiracy paused, feeling something, and suddenly realized.

Her divine positions included conspiracy, deceit, espionage, seduction, intrigue, and reconnaissance. Although this was Earth, within the other’s Domain of Faith, as long as she found a clue, she could understand most of it.

She felt contempt, using such despicable means was truly beneath her.

She would rather die than resort to such actions.

"Damn, you dare to spy on me."
