Chapter 262

Lin nodded as expected.

Of the two of them, one was Qi Xing's lawfully wedded wife, while the other only shared some mutual affection with Qi Xing—but neither of them actually cared much whether Qi Xing had sex with others; if anything, Elaine even enjoyed watching Qi Xing get involved with other heroines.

However, heroines are one thing, and bad women are another; they cannot be lumped together. Elaine was already dissatisfied with Xue Ning coveting Qi Xing's cock. How much more so for that female devil, Samael?

However, Lin was still a bit puzzled: "I don't think Samael seems to have that intention?"

"She's just saying that; devils will even deceive themselves."

Elaine replied coldly,

"She says that today, she says that tomorrow, and in a little while, she'll be blushing and pulling at her skirt, telling Qi Xing, 'It's okay to be a little lewd.'"

"Besides, Qi Xing, probably out of compassion for being fellow [Descenders], has always been a bit too lenient with Samael."

"Indeed." Lin agreed with this conclusion, but she was still puzzled, "But I don't seem to be able to help with matters like this?"

Elaine sighed.

"Miss Lin, although it's very inappropriate for me to say this, perhaps the bystander sees clearly—you know to fight for your prey when in battle, so why are you so timid when it comes to love?"

For a moment, Lin was indeed speechless.

"Perhaps it's because… Qi Xing already has a spouse? This really makes me not know how to proceed. And you coming to me to talk about this is, in itself, very strange."

"I'm afraid it's not as strange as you think."

Elaine shook her head and sighed,

"Just look at the current situation of the world; soon, the logic and morality of common people may no longer be applicable."

Ultimately, the moral logic of the general public changes according to the era and environment. In the coming era of battles between the strong and the redivision of the world's power map, how can one expect past principles to remain unchanged?

Elaine was, in fact, the most sensitive and calm in this regard.

Regardless of whether Qi Xing is already married, there will be no shortage of people trying to approach him with their beauty in the future.

To resist the temptation of the devil, the best way, of course, is to quickly pull the angel over to one's own side.

Volume 6: Thunder █ Hero · Lunar Expedition: Side Story: Stop Playing Around, Miss Sasa

The third day after the Battle of the Moon.

In the small building on Labyrinth Island, Sasa was still curled up on the sofa, feeling unhappy, while Qi Xing was relaxing nearby.

The great battle had just ended, and he certainly deserved a moment of respite.

Lin was also at home, but Elaine and Xue Ning had long since gone out to get busy. The chain reaction brought about by the shattering of the moon was gradually spreading, and the whole world was in turmoil. Qi Xing could steal a moment of leisure now, but he knew very well that this was just the calm before the storm.

He would definitely be busy later.

In fact, even at this very moment, when Qi Xing turned on the TV, he could no longer see updates for new anime; he could only see the news broadcasting the Mu Continent flying in the sky, and the World Tree rising from the top of the continent.

This guy was mysterious enough. Later, Qi Xing would probably have to go and ask for advice to get things clear.

As for Lin, her reaction was indifferent. After all, since Tokyo, she probably had long guessed who her father really was.

Looking through the TV news screen, Qi Xing could even vaguely feel that a huge eye seemed to be floating in the sky, watching him through the clouds.

"Planting an eye on the roots of the World Tree, what kind of Jesus is this? Isn't it too Odin-like?"

This made Qi Xing couldn't help but complain.

Unfortunately, Elaine was not at home. So after a while, it was Sasa, curled up on the sofa, who muttered in a muffled voice: "…If you are ignorant, don't pretend to understand."

"Fine, fine, what high opinion do you have? Tell me."

Qi Xing was bored, so he tried not to use the remote control, and instead directly used his thoughts to send out waves to control the TV, just as practice for the Full Boundary.

"The eye is inherently a symbol of God. Even if you've never seen a pig run, haven't you seen that huge eye drawn in the middle of a triangle?"

Once she said this, Qi Xing immediately understood—wasn't this the pattern that appeared on the Great Seal of the United States and the back of the one-dollar bill?

A triangle of clouds, and an eye surrounded by rays of light—that is the [All-Seeing Eye]. Although some people like to say it is a Masonic symbol, in reality, it is a pattern that has long been common in religious art. It can be seen on the stained glass of many churches.

The triangle represents the Trinity, and the eye overlooking the world from the clouds symbolizes omniscience and justice.

"Doesn't the first mythological archetype you pulled from the [Dominator] silver coin, the Osiris-Horus system, also have the concept of the 'Eye of Horus'? That is also a symbol of omniscience and justice, the foundation of a god."

Sasa was just curled up over there, mumbling and nagging.

After turning into a human, her speech didn't even have special sound effects anymore; it was truly miserable.

"…The eye overlooking the world from the clouds, omniscience and justice, I see."

Qi Xing found this concept easy to understand. He also agreed that it was the foundation of a god,

"Then, you, who have never possessed 'omniscience,' even in your prime, couldn't be considered a qualified god, right?"

A simple sentence instantly made Sasa jump up from the bed, so angry that her halo accelerated its rotation, almost making a buzzing sound.

Qi Xing didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

What kind of god is one with only invincible power?

Sasa's peak period also possessed at least single-universe, and possibly multiverse-level omnipotent power. But how did this idiot god look like a god?

Omniscience and justice are the foundations a god should have; Qi Xing agreed with this very much.

But speaking of this, Qi Xing remembered something; he had actually always been a bit puzzled: "By the way, Sasa, you were originally just a… fallen angel, right?"

"…Yeah."

"Even if you say you are Satan, Lucifer, the first angel… can you just copy an entire universe? How big is this knockoff universe? Is it as big as the real one?"

"Of course it's just as big."

Sasa replied irritably,

"Not only did I copy the physical universe completely, but the attached secondary realms were also replicated, otherwise I don't know why the system would keep throwing errors."

You really have the nerve to say that.

"I see." Qi Xing nodded, "So, any fallen angel has the ability to use a stolen database to copy an entire complete universe?"

"Of course not."

Speaking of her proud past, Sasa's mood seemed to gradually improve a little, and she said somewhat smugly,

"This is a secret… but there's nothing that can't be said, so I'll tell you. Do you know what job I was responsible for before?"

Qi Xing had indeed heard of this, and nodded: "The accuser of sins. Traveling everywhere to monitor human sins, then snitching to God, and dragging sinners down to hell after they die."

At first glance, this seems like a pretty despicable job, a very stereotypical devil. But in fact, similar priesthoods are not uncommon in other religions.

For example, everyone should know that every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God has to ascend to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor about the good and evil deeds of a family; he is the representative deity of "household supervision."

Also a grassroots god, the Earth Deity also has certain supervisory functions, summarizing the good and evil of people in his jurisdiction and reporting it to the City God.

As for the high-level ones, the Big Dipper records death and the Southern Dipper records life; the Star Lords also have the duty of monitoring and reviewing human lifespan and merits and demerits.

In Taoist classics, celestial officials such as "Gong Cao" and "Lu Shi" also frequently appear, specifically responsible for recording the merits, demerits, good, and evil of mortals one by one and reporting them to the Heavenly Emperor.

When Sasa was still working in the system, her position was, to put it bluntly, exactly these: monitoring and accusing sinners. This in itself is not strange.

The place where devils are criticized is that they often tempt people, engage in entrapment, and mock human weakness.

So the place that really made Qi Xing strange, on the contrary, was: "You, the angel responsible for accusing sins, how did you get such great power?"

Asked like this, Sasa became even more smug, rocking back and forth on the sofa: "You've heard of the 'War in Heaven,' right? That is the story of one-third of the angels rebelling and being cast down from the Upper Realm."

"Naturally I have." Qi Xing raised an eyebrow, "You are the leader of the rebel angels."

"Wrong guess, I'm not." Sasa smiled smugly, "I have never rebelled."

This finally shocked Qi Xing: "Huh?"

"Ever since I got the job of monitoring sinners, and from the time I wanted to create my own world, I have been thinking about where to get the capital."

Sasa said with a mischievous smile like a proud cat,

"Then I thought of it—the job Dad gave me was to monitor and accuse sinners, but he didn't say I could only monitor and accuse humans, right?"

"It just so happened that there was a group of stupid colleagues who were arrogant all day long, dissatisfied with the status quo, and always felt that they had suffered great grievances. I went to fan the flames for them. As soon as they couldn't wait to recruit me to rebel together, I agreed, and the next moment I reported them all~"

Qi Xing was almost stunned listening to this; "So… you relied on snitching to earn the startup capital?"

"Of course not. How is that possible?"

Sasa said dismissively,

"Snitching was just an appetizer. I knew they were destined to go all the way and rebel completely, they definitely wouldn't look back, and I also knew these fools would definitely lose anyway, so of course I wouldn't participate, and I wouldn't accompany them in this stupid thing with no chance of winning."

"So when Michael led the heavenly army to push them to the edge of the Upper Realm, intending to push them down from heaven, I had prepared a big net underneath in advance."

"One-third of the angels in heaven, surrounded and suppressed by the heavenly army, beaten to exhaustion, all the fallen angels who had no ability to resist anymore—were thus rounded up by me, grabbed in one go, and all refined."

Speaking of this, where she was proud, Sasa was simply beaming, so smug,

"I devoured one-third of the angels, plus the entire database I copied; what angel could compare to me? None, absolutely none. Even Michael could not defeat me at my peak."

"Not to mention creating one universe, even if I copied a hundred universes and stacked them together, when my power was complete, it would be as simple as copy and paste."

"And, strictly speaking, I actually didn't fall."

This time Qi Xing was truly stunned—how the fuck could that not be a fall? Is there any law in the Upper Realm?

Other fallen angels are probably afraid to even tattoo you on their backs!

"Because I didn't violate the laws of the Upper Realm, at least not the literal meaning of the statutes. I didn't incite them, because they already had the intention to commit the crime; I didn't mention a word suggesting they do anything they shouldn't do. So the crime was not established."

"Later I ran to the void outside, creating my own universe, which was also a place where the laws of the Upper Realm did not apply."

"Strictly speaking, I am currently just 'resigned,' and not 'fallen.'"

What the hell.

Fortunately, although Qi Xing was dumbfounded listening, he wasn't so stupid as to completely believe whatever the devil said, but he instinctively felt in his heart that this story of Sasa's was probably 70-80% true.

No wonder Sasa held such ****, omnipotent power that she could mess around with. It turned out it was obtained in this way.

Perhaps, this is also why when the Upper Realm dealt with Sasa's affair, although they beat her half to death and paralyzed her, sealing her at the bottom of the universe, other parts seemed to be handled in a lukewarm manner.

Perhaps, for some detailed secrets, Qi Xing would still have to go ask that incredible "King of Hell" for advice later.

It's really strange; Sasa is very sharp when she stands on the side and complains about others being stupid, and she hits the mark every time when she pits other fools. Why does her IQ fly away every time she gets involved personally?

I'm afraid it can only be said that the person involved is confused, while the bystander sees clearly.

"Sasa, the more I listen, the more I feel that you losing your power and turning into a human now is a deserved tribulation. Reflect on it properly."

Qi Xing now only hopes that all of this will not be in vain in the end.

Volume 7: Age of Dharma Ending Apocalypse: 240: The World Divided into Four

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since the Battle of the Moon.

Near the Mediterranean, Qi Xing established a new country… though it wasn't that direct.

But new forces and order had indeed taken root here.

In this era where gods, demons, monsters, and beasts are returning one after another—in this era where mortals may awaken power at any time, and even the original physical laws are beginning to waver, traditional secular countries are difficult to maintain.

With the spread of power, the original government institutions and powers will gradually become ineffective.

…This might be a bit complicated to say, so let's use a simple example.

When demons and monsters might walk out of the mountains and wilderness at any time to prey on humans, "villages" without sufficient power protection are hard to continue to exist. The population has to abandon the villages and migrate to big cities with more strong people.

And when gods, demons, and monsters might appear from the darkness at any time to attack human settlements, even a brightly lit big city might suffer heavy damage if there are not enough strong people to react in time.

The originally crisscrossing highways, railways, and air routes were the bloodlines of national territory. But when giant beasts can cross highways, when the sky can crack open to swallow air routes, and when what crosses the border is not passengers but incorporeal supernatural disasters, national borders lose their meaning.

Airplanes will be attacked by giant beasts in the air, and ships on the sea. If one wants to send strong people to accompany and protect them, there must be enough strong people.

People no longer care which piece of land hangs which national flag; they only care about whether there are enough strong people patrolling this road.

As for why the law gradually becomes ineffective in a world where a mortal can suddenly gain 100,000 horsepower upon waking up, there shouldn't be a need to elaborate, right?

And when the authority of secular governments is shaken, when people who have gained power fight each other to the extent of destroying others' lives, and the order of the world is out of control,

the weak will naturally choose to follow a strong person who can provide food and shelter, and the strong will naturally soon dominate the weak.

Plus, some strong people can easily use supernatural power to conjure food and supplies.

All of this will naturally establish a new economic and rule system.

In such an era, the force Qi Xing established in the Mediterranean cannot be called a true country.
