PLCMW Chapter 6

Night fell, and everything was silent.

Shen Que expanded her divine senses, “seeing” everything in the world.

She instinctively wanted to shut off her senses—it was too much for her eyes to bear. These people, having lost all moral restraint, were worse than beasts.

Compared to them, the hypocritical deities in the divine realm suddenly seemed more tolerable.

Shen Que cast her spell, and time came to a halt. Ice and snow covered the entire world.

Her divine power soothed the wounds of the people, and the plague disappeared. But her actions also attracted something new.

Shen Que wasn’t the least bit afraid. Ice and snow clashed against divine light, and the divine light was quickly defeated. Whatever being it was, it realized what kind of existence it was up against and vanished in a panic, not daring to utter a sound.

As Shen Que withdrew her power, she noticed a cat lying at her feet.

It looked gravely injured, on the verge of death. But Shen Que knew it wouldn’t die.

This creature was a demigod.

“Meow~”

…

The next day, people woke up claiming they had witnessed a miracle. They said a god had pulled them from the abyss, and the god… had solidified their faith.

Even someone as calm as Ying Weige couldn’t hold it together, throwing the documents she was holding to the ground.

“You mean to say… a divine consort has appeared and bestowed the heavenly mandate on Ying Dan?”

“Just the ignorant rabble spreading rumors! We can spread our own messages too!”

“No. With our power alone, we cannot stand against the entire Ying clan. I was wrong. The Ying family doesn’t need an excellent emperor. What they want is a puppet, someone like Dan.”

“Are we just going to admit defeat then?”

Chong Lou was unwilling to accept this. After everything they had sacrificed to establish themselves in this chaotic world, now, with the situation stabilizing, they were to be mercilessly cast aside.

Chong Lou’s wandering gaze landed on Shen Que, and suddenly, she shouted, “No! We still have a chance! Miss, we’ve cared for her for so long, now is the time to use her.”

“What are you talking about?”

Chong Lou shrank back but still spoke bravely, “With Xue’er’s unparalleled beauty, if we manipulate things in the shadows, we might be able to extend this chaos and buy ourselves time.”

“Xue’er belongs to me. Even if I die, I will never let her be humiliated!”

“No matter how much you refuse, Miss, if we lose, Xue’er’s fate will only be worse.”

“Then I’ll kill her first!”

Shen Que’s body froze. She stared wide-eyed at Ying Weige, the person who had always cared for her so tenderly, now talking about killing her?
