Two hours passed quietly in the outside world, which equated to four months within the Temple of Life.
During this time, Fu Ye had helped the Goddess of Life resolve a matter that had troubled her for a long time, allowing her to experience the customs and daily life of mortals.
As a conscientious tour guide, Fu Ye took her to see almost everything an ordinary person would or could do.
Inside the Temple of Life, the breath of life permeated the air. Fu Ye was still talking with the Goddess of Life about the past of mortals.
However, the Goddess of Life was in a state between sleep and wakefulness. She felt her consciousness lifted into the void by an inexplicable force.
She was utterly exhausted now, yet her tour guide, Fu Ye, continued to recount tales of mortal lives.
Smack!
Fu Ye delivered a sharp slap directly to the Goddess of Life's flawless face. The sting jolted her back to her senses almost instantly.
But when she saw Fu Ye again, her spirit completely shattered.
"No... I was wrong, I was truly wrong. Please, let me go. I really am..."
The Goddess of Life wished to beg for mercy humbly, but Fu Ye no longer treated her as a person.
After all, toys differed in quality, and this one's quality was so exceptional that Fu Ye simply couldn't stop.
Seeing that Fu Ye paid no attention to her pleas, the Goddess of Life's green-gold eyes filled with utter despair.
"Haha, you are the Goddess of Life. How could you be wrong? I am the one who is wrong."
…
At noon the next day, inside the barrier within the Temple of Life.
Fu Ye had been resting inside the barrier for two full days, holding the Goddess of Life.
It couldn't be helped. This time, he had truly lost control. Not only was his own body severely depleted, but the Goddess of Life had nearly been reduced to a mindless fool.
Fortunately, the system timely intervened and restored her consciousness. Otherwise, she would have become a puppet knowing nothing.
They say holding a beauty in your arms doubles the damage, but Fu Ye didn't think so. After all, the Goddess of Life was now sleeping soundly against him, clearly completely exhausted.
But this was no place for her to rest.
"Dancing Slave, Demon Empress, I'm sending you a little toy. You two can play with her as you please."
A wicked smile curled at the corner of Fu Ye's mouth. The Goddess of Life was of no more use to him. To avoid waste, the only option was to place her in the Worry-Free Prison for further... training.
As a green-gold figure appeared within the Worry-Free Prison, the aura of the Goddess of Life and her divine inheritance vanished from the Divine Realm almost instantly.
Fu Ye glanced at the mess before him but had no intention of cleaning it up.
'Isn't the God of Destruction so impressive? I'm sure he'll be even more so after seeing the youthful scene in the Temple of Life.'
As he left, Fu Ye scattered several mosaic-like pictures. The only recognizable face in them was that of the Goddess of Life, her expression flushed, filled with fear and resentment.
After doing all this, Fu Ye scribbled a small note, tossed it casually onto the ground, and then vanished in a flash.
…
On the other side, in the Temple of Destruction.
A man clad in purple-black robes was meticulously searching every corner of the Divine Realm and the mortal continent, his expression grim.
"Something's wrong. This is very wrong. How could a mere mortal slip away right under my nose?"
His purple-black eyes gleamed with cold fury; it was clear the mortal he spoke of enraged him. But at that moment, he suddenly sensed that something crucial was missing from the Divine Realm.
His brow furrowed, and he carefully scanned the current state of the Divine Realm.
Finally, as if realizing something, his figure shot forward abruptly.
"Oh no! Something has happened to Xiao Lü!"
Meanwhile, the Evil God King also sensed that the Goddess of Life and her throne had disappeared from the Divine Realm.
Inside the Temple of Kindness, the Goddess of Kindness felt a sudden panic, but she suppressed her discomfort and hurried towards the direction of the Temple of Life.
Within the Asura Temple, the Asura God also sensed a void in the Divine Realm. Before he could pinpoint it, he received a direct message from the Evil God King.
"Something has happened to the Goddess of Life!"
However, when they arrived at the Temple of Life, they found it already engulfed in divine Destruction Thunder. The horrifying power of annihilation filled the entire temple.
"Xiao Lü! My Xiao Lü! No!!!!"
The God of Destruction had arrived first. When he saw the scattered photos on the ground and the chaotic state of the temple, his mind went blank for a moment.
"Ah!!!! I will kill you! I must kill you!!!"
At that moment, the God of Destruction was clutching a note in his hand, naturally the one left by Fu Ye before his departure.
[I've already taken this little slut for myself. Just accept that you've been cuckolded. You're useless.
— Left by a mortal who sneaked into the Divine Realm]
Fu Ye's words were concise and piercing, each one striking directly at the God of Destruction's heart.
His acquaintance with the Goddess of Life dated back to the dawn of the Divine Realm. They were both among the purest primal gods.
Yet, the two could never be together; even touching hands required layers of protection. And now, he was forced to witness this...
"Raaaaaagh!!!!"
The God of Destruction roared towards the heavens, and the entire Divine Realm began to tremble violently.
"Destruction! Calm down!"
The Evil God King stepped forward to restrain the God of Destruction, but just as he was about to touch the other, the innate ultra divine weapon, the Scepter of Destruction, materialized in the God of Destruction's hand!
Buzz!
As purple-black ripples vibrated through space, the Evil God King narrowly avoided the attack.
"Destruction, have you gone mad?! We all know the Goddess of Life has disappeared from the Divine Realm, but..."
However, upon hearing him utter the name Goddess of Life, the God of Destruction immediately launched a bolt of Annihilation Thunder at him.
Buzz!
The attack was blocked jointly by the God of Kindness and the Asura God. Seeing that the God of Destruction had actually attacked him, the Evil God King's dark eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"Destruction, you—"
Just as he was about to speak, the God of Destruction cut him off.
"Enough! Xiao Lü's matter has unsettled me. I apologize for my actions just now, but I expect you all to do your utmost to find the one who took Xiao Lü!"
The God of Destruction's words were saturated with rage and hatred.
The Asura God and the others were filled with confusion upon hearing this, but to first stabilize the God of Destruction's emotions, they nodded solemnly.
…
Before they knew it, a day had passed quietly, and in that time, the Divine Realm had lost many gods, one after another.
All the missing gods shared one very notable characteristic: they were all goddesses, and all of them were of the 3rd class or higher.
The God of Destruction was the most furious, for only four of the original Seven Deadly Sins gods remained under his command!
The Goddess of Lust, the Goddess of Envy, and the Goddess of Sloth had all vanished without a trace!
Inside the Temple of Destruction, the God of Destruction's normally purple-black eyes were now bloodshot, his sockets tinged with scarlet.
And clutched in his hand were three more notes.
[As expected of you, to have so many beautiful goddesses under your command. I'll accept them with a smile. —Left by the Mysterious Mortal]
The God of Destruction stared at the note left by Fu Ye, his face a mask of hatred and rage. Yet, even he could find no clue as to the other party's whereabouts.
The Goddesses of Lust seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving not a single trace behind in their residences.
And it wasn't just his domain; many goddess from other regions had gradually disappeared as well.
The Goddess of Music, Ling Hua; the Goddess of Flower, Jing Tian; the Butterfly Goddess, Hong Die; and the Angel Goddess, Qian Xunji—all had vanished without a trace.
But one must remember, female goddess in the Divine Realm were exceedingly rare, let alone those above the 3rd class.
There were only a handful of them in the entire Divine Realm. With the Goddess of Life's earlier disappearance, almost all the prominent goddesses of the Divine Realm were now missing.
…
On the other side, inside the residence of the Nine-Colored Goddess...
Fu Ye, currently disguised as the God of Food, was leisurely eating the spiritual fruits the Nine-Colored Goddess had just prepared. It was clear she had yet to receive any danger notices from the Divine Realm.
He had recently purchased a custom-made Creation Divine Realm from the system mall, albeit a smaller version. After all, now wasn't the best time for Dong'er and the others to meet these goddesses from the Divine Realm. It would be better to wait until their cultivation had broken through to the Creation God.
There were now two small planes within Fu Ye's body. One contained his confidantes from the Douluo Continent, and the other held his confidantes from the Douluo Divine Realm.
As for whether the Nine-Colored Goddess, was willing to abandon the God of Food and leave with him, that depended entirely on her own wishes. After all, he held no grudge against the God of Food, and while the Nine-Colored Goddess was beautiful, she was only above average.
"How come you have time to come to my place for tea these past couple of days?" The Nine-Colored Goddess's pupils still sparkled with little golden stars, but her voice seemed a touch gentler than before.
"Well, I've caused a bit of trouble in the Divine Realm, so I came to your place to lay low," Fu Ye replied.
Hearing this, the Nine-Colored Goddess grew somewhat curious. After all, he had only been gone for three or four days. How much trouble could a 2nd Class god like him possibly stir up?
"How big of a mess are we talking? Did you offend some 1st Class gods?"
However, upon hearing her words, Fu Ye simply chuckled.
"It's nothing, just some minor troubles. Anyway, I'm not the one suffering."
Fu Ye lay bored on the sofa, comfortably resting his head on the Nine-Colored Goddess's slender thighs.
"Hey! Don't push your luck. I'm not that kind of casual goddess," the Nine-Colored Goddess said, her cheeks flushing slightly at Fu Ye's actions. Though her words protested, she didn't push him away.
"Yeah, you're the most upright woman with a pink heart-shaped birthmark on her right buttock."
Who was Fu Ye? With his current realm, he could see right through the Nine-Colored Goddess's thoughts with a single glance.
"You!"
But just as the Nine-Colored Goddess was about to explode, a silver-haired girl in a white minidress stepped gracefully into the manor.
"God of Food, Nine-Colored Goddess, how have you been lately?"
However, the moment Fu Ye, disguised as the God of Food, saw the visitor, a hint of mockery flashed in his dark eyes.
'If there is a road to heaven, you don't take it; if there is no gate to hell, you break in anyway.'
He remembered very clearly from the Goddess of Life's memories that this so-called Goddess of Kindness had been the one to propose many of the underhanded plans for dealing with him.
"Hmm? It's the Goddess of Kindness! We're doing quite well here!" Upon seeing the Goddess of Kindness, a trace of envy appeared in the Nine-Colored Goddess's starry eyes. After all, this was a God King, one of the supreme commanders of the Divine Realm Committee!
"In that case, I'll take my leave and check elsewhere."
Seeing that the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess were as intimate as ever, the Goddess of Kindness prepared to depart. However, as she lifted her foot to leave, she found her body seemed nailed to the ground, completely immobile.
At that moment, Fu Ye's dark eyes, disguised as the God of Food, shifted into an ancient, golden hue.
"Lord Goddess of Kindness, why the hurry to leave? Why not come in for some tea and snacks before you go?" Fu Ye's voice was now his original one, filled with tyrannical pressure and oppression.
The Goddess of Kindness finally realized something was wrong, but when she tried to alert others, she found her messages couldn't be transmitted at all!
"You... you are not the God of Food!" the Goddess of Kindness managed to shout out with her last bit of strength. Fu Ye nodded in agreement.
"Correct, I am not the God of Food. Of course, I can be the God of Food, too." Fu Ye sat up and casually pulled the Nine-Colored Goddess into his embrace.
"But from now on, you will no longer be the lofty and mighty Goddess of Kindness. Instead, you will be a prisoner in my hands, one I can play with as I please."
Simultaneously, Fu Ye revealed his tall, handsome true form, his golden eyes brimming with mockery.
"Alright, come and massage my feet, and the feet of the woman in my arms. Serve us well."
Fu Ye's voice was like a demonic sound piercing her ears, instantly seizing control of the Goddess of Kindness's consciousness.
It was only then that the Nine-Colored Goddess fully grasped what the man holding her was doing!
"You... you want the Goddess of Kindness to give us a foot massage?!" The Nine-Colored Goddess felt as if her entire worldview was on the verge of collapse.
A God King, giving a foot massage? No one in the entire Divine Realm would dare to even entertain such a thought!
And yet...
With a face full of humiliation, the Goddess of Kindness slowly removed the Nine-Colored Goddess's white stockings and began to skillfully press the acupoints on her feet with her dexterous hands.
The Nine-Colored Goddess's eyes were wide with disbelief. At that moment, Fu Ye directly summoned forth the Goddess of Life, who had been tormented by his two little slaves in the Worry Free Prison.
"No, I was wrong! I'm a lowly slave, a toy for Sister Wu and Sister Demon Empress to enjoy! Please, stop hitting me!"
The Goddess of Life sat on the ground, her face haggard. Upon witnessing this scene, the Goddess of Kindness's eyes widened in shock. She never imagined that the Goddess of Life, missing for so long, would appear before her in such a state!
The Nine-Colored Goddess also noticed the figure with a green-gold aura, a purple-tinged body, and a haggard face.
Upon closer look, however, she was stunned to realize it was her direct superior—the Goddess of Life, a powerful God-King!
"Master!! Master, you've come to save me, haven't you? Master, I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong! I will be the most humble servant by your side, please don't let them torment me anymore!"
As soon as the Goddess of Life spotted Fu Ye sitting on the sofa, she rushed over at an unbelievable speed, tightly wrapping her arms and legs around his thighs.
"Come here, lie down properly."
Seeing the state of the Goddess of Life, Fu Ye couldn't help but give a mental thumbs-up to the Dancing Slave and Empress Slave back in the Worry Free Prison.
He had adjusted the flow of time when he sent the Goddess of Life there—one day in the outside world equaled one year inside.
Now, after a year of torment by the remnant soul of Xiao Wu's past life and Lan Miao'er (Demon Empress), the widow of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the Goddess of Life had finally faced reality and understood exactly where she was.
Hearing Fu Ye's command, the Goddess of Life obediently lay down beside him, not daring to move an inch without his permission.
"Tsk, such a beautiful face, reduced to this state."
Fu Ye looked at the utterly haggard Goddess of Life and patted her cheek with a hint of pity.
"But if you dare defy me again, I'll have you live permanently with those two little slaves in Worry Free Prison."
At his words, the Goddess of Life's body trembled uncontrollably. Witnessing this, the Goddess of Kindness felt a surge of unknown fear in her silver-white eyes.
After all, the Goddess of Life was far stronger than her, yet she had been broken into such meek submission.
"No, Master! I will be obedient, truly! Please, I beg you, don't send me back to that place!"
The Nine-Colored Goddess stared in astonishment at the scene before her. Two great God-Kings of the Divine Realm had actually become slaves to the same man?
But how was this possible? How had he managed it?
"What's this? A little woman like you shouldn't make such an incredulous expression so easily."
Fu Ye pinched the Nine-Colored Goddess's flushed cheek.
Nine-Colored Goddess glanced around—at the Goddess of Kindness kneeling before her, massaging her feet, and the Goddess of Life lying docilely in front of Fu Ye like a pet.
Had the world gone mad, or was her own perception failing her?
Time slipped by, and in a daze, the Nine-Colored Goddess experienced the foot massage service from the Goddess of Kindness and the life-energy baptism from the Goddess of Life.
Naturally, Fu Ye also partook in what the Nine-Colored Goddess received. Overall, their service was quite satisfactory—he'd give them a 9.5 out of 10.
That evening, faint, ambiguous sounds drifted from the Nine-Colored Goddess's guest room, leaving her blushing and unable to sleep.
The next morning, she woke with flushed cheeks, only to be met with a scene that deepened her embarrassment.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming the guest room door was still closed.
After all, she had been eavesdropping yesterday—no, rather, she had accidentally overheard those noises.
Inside the guest room, the Goddess of Kindness and the Goddess of Life lay on either side of Fu Ye. Below their lower abdomens, two distinct floral marks had now appeared:
The Goddess of Life's was a purple-black peony, while the Goddess of Kindness's was a black rose.
Half an hour later, in the Evil God Temple, the Evil God King, shrouded in dark energy, rushed to the scene after sensing the disappearance of the Goddess of Kindness. The God of Destruction and the God of Slaughter did the same.
Meanwhile, Fu Ye had already packed his belongings. The Nine-Colored Goddess, was now nestled in his arms, her face bright red.
"I'm leaving now. Will you come with me?"
The Nine-Colored Goddess froze for a moment at his words, then showed an expression of disbelief.
"You're leaving? Where will you go? Will you ever return?"
Hearing that Fu Ye was departing, she felt inexplicably nervous, while his expression remained calm and composed.
Now that he had secured all the notable goddesses in the Divine Realm, staying any longer would be a waste of time.
Although the Nine-Colored Goddess was a married woman, he still held some affection for her.
As a transmigrator with such a powerful system, he didn't want to leave any regrets in this life.
So what if she was another's wife? Let them inherit the will of Cao Mengde!
"I may not return. After all, this is just the beginning of my journey, not the end."
Fu Ye shook his head. He wouldn't force the Nine-Colored Goddess if she was unwilling, but everything he said was true.
Even if he left an anchor in this world, he would eventually travel to other, more vibrant worlds. The chance of returning was practically zero.
However, after some thought, Fu Ye decided to show the Nine-Colored Goddess the life chronicle of the God of Food first.
The two had been a couple who ascended from the mortal world to the Divine Realm together. Even if the God of Food was lacking in certain aspects, they were still a legally wedded pair.
Fu Ye purchased the Selected Memoirs of the God of Food's Life from the system mall and opened it directly under the Nine-Colored Goddess's curious gaze.
[Selected Memoirs of the God of Food's Life]
[Age 10: Discovered to possess exceptional talent for cultivation, but due to laziness, his potential declined. Still, he remained the best among his peers.]
[Age 12: His robust talent allowed him to quickly become the strongest among those his age.]
[Age 16: Transferred to the prestigious Shenghui Academy in a border city and met his new target—a talented seamstress.]
[One Month Ago (After Ascending to the Divine Realm): Had an affair with a Goddess Officer he'd taken care of at the border. His wife, the Nine-Colored Goddess, merely thought he was two minutes late returning home.]
After reading the memoirs, Fu Ye couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.
'Incredible! Truly incredible!'
'The God of Food truly lives up to his name!'
The Nine-Colored Goddess, still held in Fu Ye's embrace, naturally saw the diary's contents. Seeing her past laid out so plainly from a third-person perspective left her utterly stunned.
What's more, every detail matched perfectly.
Ever since she met the God of Food at sixteen, he had never explained why he, a noble, had come to study at a border academy.
"That bastard!"
The Nine-Colored Goddess's expression was extremely dark.
After learning about the God of Food's life, Fu Ye couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up in his mind.
After all, this guy was a truly ruthless character—frequenting brothels at the tender age of six and ruining himself!
What's more, he was a super genius. Although his wasted youth had dulled his cultivation talent, he still managed to marry a beautiful wife and even ascend to become the God of Food.
"Tell me, where is he now?!" The Nine-Colored Goddess's voice was thick with rage.
Fu Ye, ever the one to enjoy a spectacle, was more than happy to oblige.
Anyway, the God of Food was still lost in the dream he had so carefully woven for him. Dragging him out to face reality was sure to be entertaining!
As Fu Ye channeled his divine power to yank the God of Food directly from the pit in the backyard, the next moment the deity landed with a thud on the room's floor.
His face, however, was smeared with dirt and grime, yet wore an expression of utter intoxication and obsession.
"Xiao Cui, I like you the most~ Yan'er is just too overbearing. A petite and delicate one like you is the best match for me."
"What? You're asking why I haven't had a child with her after all this time? It's all because of you. I don't love her."
"You are the best. We are a match made in heaven. You are small, and I am small too."
"What? You ask me why we haven't had children after being together so long? When two people share true love, why would they need children?"
The God of Food kept babbling sweet nothings, and Fu Ye was taken aback by the sheer volume of shocking worldly wisdom he was spouting.
However, at that moment, the Nine-Colored Goddess produced a sharp hatchet from somewhere, her emotional state clearly highly unstable.
"You like Xiao Cui the most? Then what am I? You ruined my innocence and wasted my youth, only to tell me in the end that you love someone else the most?"
Just then, the System's voice rang out again.
[Nine-Colored Goddess Favorability +20%. Current Favorability: 100%]
[Host's needs detected. System is loading the exclusive Cao Ze patch for you.]
[Loading successful!]
[New items have been added to the System Mall. Please check promptly. New items will appear at the front of the mall.]
'Oh?! This System is quite thoughtful!' Fu Ye wondered what new things had been added.
At that moment, the Nine-Colored Goddess swung the hatchet down, chopping directly at the short and weak third leg of the God of Food.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!"
The intense pain caused the 2nd Class God of Food to instantly shatter the illusion Fu Ye had cast upon him.
The God of Food was bleeding profusely. As the Nine-Colored Goddess raised her hatchet high once more, he stared in a daze, feeling the searing pain in his lower body and seeing his clothes stained with golden-red blood.
"Yan… Yan'er? What is the meaning of this?"
"You have the nerve to call me Yan'er?! What about your precious Xiao Cui?! Didn't you say you love her the most?"
The Nine-Colored Goddess's starry eyes were clouded with gloom. Hearing her words, the God of Food's eyes narrowed, his pained expression instantly tightening with tension.
"Yan Yan'er, she and I, we were just…"
But the Nine-Colored Goddess gave him no time to explain. After all, she had no shortage of suitors in the mortal realm. She had chosen him, and he had betrayed her!
"Shhhk!"
The blade fell swiftly. One must remember, although the God of Food was a 2nd Class god, he possessed no means of defense or attack.
The hatchet descended, and blood splattered everywhere.
Terrified, the God of Food scrambled backward. Just as the Nine-Colored Goddess was about to swing again, Fu Ye stopped her. "Enough. If you chop him again, he'll really die."
Fu Ye gently held her descending hand, but the Nine-Colored Goddess was still filled with hatred and regret.
"It would be better if he died! I'm going to chop him to death!"
She never expected that just three days after they both ascended to the Divine Realm, the God of Food would do something so disgraceful with another woman!
And his reasoning? Because the other woman was smaller than her, they were a perfect match made in heaven.
Whenever the Nine-Colored Goddess thought of this, she felt a stifling anger in her heart. It wasn't as if she and the God of Food had no emotional foundation, yet he had done such a thing behind her back.
"Alright, alright. After I imprison his soul, you will come with me."
Who was Fu Ye? With as many Divine Lamp Furnace as one could want available in the System, dedicating one specifically for the God of Food was no problem at all.
However, it had been a long time since Fu Ye had checked in on that inseparable master-apprentice pair, Tang Chuan and Yu Xiaogang.
The time he had inflicted upon them equated to one year in the outside world.
It seemed Yu Xiaogang had been trapped inside for decades, and Tang Chuan for over ten years.
But now was clearly not the time to visit them. The lamp's flame was special—it could make a soul feel the sensation of being burned without causing any actual harm.
They were in pain, but could not die.
It was at this moment that Fu Ye checked the new additions to the System.
[Item: Body Time Rewind Card (Valid only for independent individuals) Stock: 99,999+; Price: 0]
"Hmm? The Body Time Rewind Card can restore a person's body to any time period she has experienced, while preserving her current memories, with no side effects."
Indeed, the patch the System provided this time had only added one item to the mall: the Body Time Rewind Card.
But this thing was truly amazing—an absolute essential for scoundrels, right?!
The moment Fu Ye saw it, he was captivated and immediately purchased one.
[Congratulations, Host, on successfully purchasing Body Time Rewind Card x 1. Target age has been automatically set to 18 years old.]
[Note: This rewind card will only revert the body's state to that of age 18. Original cultivation level will remain unchanged.]
'Good, good, good! This System really delivers!'
'It truly is a cheat—its capabilities are incredible!'
Fu Ye gently took the Nine-Colored Goddess, Luo Yan'er, by the hand.
"Let me perform a bit of magic for you."
With that, Fu Ye took the hatchet from her hand. As the Body Time Rewind Card merged into Luo Yan'er's body, a cocoon of circular light enveloped her.
Witnessing this scene, the pain-filled eyes of the God of Food actually flashed with resentment!
"Luo Yan'er! You fickle woman! If you accuse me of finding another woman, then what are you doing keeping a boy-toy?!"
But before he could finish, Fu Ye kicked his face straight into the marble floor.
CRACK.
The floor cracked and cratered. The God of Food's once handsome face was torn apart by the tremendous force.
"As expected of you. Even after reaching the Divine Realm, you're still having affairs." Fu Ye's voice was laced with amusement. The God of Food was nearly unconscious from the pain.
"After you die, I'll take good care of your wife. Don't you worry about it."
