Alien Paradise.

Chapter 408 Witness
Chaoyang reached out and shook her hand, but it was not to say goodbye to her.

"I have a suggestion. You should stay here and keep Kokomochi company. Although no one can remember the name of the God of the Hidden Mist, the residents of Paradise Church can remember you over the years you have been developing it. So there is no need for you to live alone like you did in the past."

"Why, do you still want me to serve the Paradise Church for the rest of my life?" Shadow said with a half-smile, "As for living alone, I've long been accustomed to it. These few days are indeed the most lively days I've ever had. Although it's good, I can't neglect my responsibilities."

Simple enjoyment or hobbies could not keep her, and Chaoyang realized that she was not the same type of person as Kokomochi.

If she were to be compared to a human being, she would be more like a determined ascetic.

If not for this, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to hold on for more than a thousand years.

He decisively pulled out his trump card, "What I mean is that it would be better for the human world if you stayed."

"Are you trying to say that I am no longer important to people today?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me. The purpose of the mist is to eliminate the influence of the evil god... After all, the latter god cannot confront the former god head-on. The influence of the hidden mist on the secular world is also quite limited, so at the most critical moment, summoning the mist is the only option." Chaoyang talked calmly, "But now it's different. The Paradise Church has a large number of people and is powerful. It even controls three cities and has a strong ability to intervene in the secular world. As for me... You have also seen it. I won one and tied one against the evil god's advent, which is a record-breaking result. So if you stay, it doesn't mean abandoning your responsibilities, but a strong alliance. Do you understand what I mean?"

Shadow froze.

She obviously didn't expect the other party to have such an argument.

"Let me put it more simply. In the past, the Hidden Mist Sect discovered signs, sent people there, summoned the mist, and covered up the evil... This was a helpless choice, because although the mist can protect the human mind, it can also cause a large number of unnecessary casualties. In order to eliminate the evil here, the Paradise Sect has to add two more steps: dispel the mist and solve the problem."

Chaoyang let go of her hand and smiled, "What if we unite? This process can be simplified to discovering signs, summoning paradise, and solving problems. Isn't it much more efficient?"

"This..." The God of Hidden Mist didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Judging from the current contacts, the Paradise Sect really does possess such strength.

The Hidden Mist was more like a scout sentinel, unable to truly stop evil deeds. But the Paradise Cult was different. Resk had told her that as early as the Splendid Castle, this sect had seized control of the city by force and brought all the nobles who had committed serious crimes to justice.

The two sides took different paths from the very beginning.

"Or... are you worried about the issue of willpower?" Chao Yang said while the iron was hot. "I was indeed very curious before. The God of Hidden Mist has been classified as an evil god, so he should not be able to obtain willpower anymore, but you have survived for more than a thousand years, and your power is much stronger than Kokomochi. Could it be that these patches of fog are the source of your willpower?"

Shadow's calm expression was finally broken.

But she wasn't angry, instead she chuckled, "You really... look like a human. Provoking me doesn't work. Although the foggy area does have an impact on my wishes, I've said it before, the duties of a god have an end. If the sun can shine on every corner of the world, I won't have any objection even if I perish."

Uh... did I end up making things worse?

Before Chaoyang could speak, she continued, "But I accept your proposal."

"Hey?"

"If the problem can be solved without summoning the mist, there is no reason for me to refuse." The God of Hidden Mist said sadly, "In fact, every Hidden Mist will do their best before blowing the horn to try to prevent the tragedy from happening. Even among my children...some people failed to fulfill their duties because of the heavy psychological burden, and chose to commit suicide. If the Paradise Church can eliminate evil for me, it will definitely be an exciting thing for Resk and others."

"I guess Kokomochi will be very happy to hear this news." Chaoyang was relieved, "Then... let's sign a contract."

"contract?"

"Yes. In this way, even if you lose all the mist, with the support of the Paradise Church, your wish power will never run out." The devil promised.

…A new evening has arrived at the Acropolis. As the sun sets, the entire beach is dyed a layer of golden red.

Chaoyang took Elodi to the cliff above the beach cave.

From here you can have a panoramic view of the sea at dusk, which is a good viewing point on Earth, but for fishermen who have lived by the sea for generations, the capricious ocean is not a place worth lingering.

"It's so beautiful..." Elodie walked to the edge of the cliff and admired the afterglow on the horizon. "It turns out that no matter when you see the sea, it can make you feel happy."

"It would be even better if we had a bottle of apple-flavored soda at this time," Chaoyang agreed.

“Why is it apple flavored?”

"Because the fragrance of apples goes well with the sea."

Elodie smacked her lips, as if imagining this combination, "I prefer Coke. You brought me here for more than just to see the sea, right?"

"Well, it's like this... I already have all the conditions to become a god, so I want you to be a witness."

"Wait, what does it mean to become a god?" The angel looked surprised. "Aren't you a devil? After becoming a god, you are no longer a human?"

"Uh... that's not the case." Chaoyang scratched his head and said, "The so-called gods are a term used in this world. Just think of it as a job change in a game. You can improve your abilities, your health bar can become thicker, etc. Of course, it is still a human being, and its appearance will not change much."

"I thought you were going to become an invisible man or a giant..." She breathed a sigh of relief, "To be honest, those gods don't look like humans at all."

"Then I start?"

"Wait a moment, let me prepare myself mentally..." Elodie took a deep breath, "Is there anything I can do?"

"No, you just need to watch."

"Then... why did you choose me to witness it?" Her voice became softer and her eyes turned to the side.

"Because we have a contract, I trust you the most." Chaoyang smiled.

"Is that so?" Elodie replied with mixed feelings.

At this time, he had entered a state of meditation.

The kingdom of God had already been obtained. Now he only needed to determine what the divine fire was to complete all the steps of ascending to God. According to Shiyin, Wei Mi would never give up or cede his authority. In other words, when he dies, the authority will return to Wei Mi, and he will not leave any relics. This result was what Chaoyang wanted, and the divine fire was determined. The delay of a week was mainly to allow Shiyin to carefully check the polyhedron to see if the former god had hidden any traps.

"What will I encounter next?" he asked in his mind, "Will there be inner demons? Or do I need to gain recognition from some ancient being?"

"Ha... did you think it was a calamity?" Shi Yin said unhappily, "Becoming a god is like climbing stairs. When you reach the top, everything will fall into place. But it is also a road of no return. After you become a god, you can only die as a god. You will not be born, grow old, get sick, or die. The only thing that measures everything is your willpower, and this power will haunt you for the rest of your life."

"That's it? Then how can I know where I've become stronger?"

"This is an innate instinct. You can understand it without learning. However, considering your low level, it is difficult to improve everything, so you'd better decide on a main direction when you become a god." Shi Yin's tone was full of "I've been so worried about you, remember to repay me in the future." "For example, one of the demon abilities, I think it is much more useful than the little girl's magic. Besides, you won't leave behind any divine fire after you die, so no matter what ability you strengthen, you don't have to worry about it being abused by future generations."
