He is hungry. He needs countless life sources to sate himself. Unfortunately, Earth is on His menu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The only thing we can do is emulate those lucky ones—submit to the Lord, offer Him sacrifices, and gain His favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the divine revelation I saw when I was on the brink of death. This is the evidence you wanted to see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All was silent. A wind, source unknown, howled through the black forest, leaving only the rustle of trembling branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! No! No! This isn’t true! It must be a hallucination you fabricated!” Hamid suddenly broke down. “You’re deceiving us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei De scanned the group. “Do you truly believe that?” Then, as if remembering something, he turned to Jane York, who had remained silent. “I recall you’re a Class-B psychic. You’ve been using your ability to observe me. You should be able to tell whether I’m lying and whether these images are real.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hamid, Daniel, Helen, Silva, and even Yang Yi all turned to the red-haired girl who had said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi remembered her—she was a Canadian psychic, the one who exposed Wei De’s conspiracy to control the security personnel at the United Nations building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired girl immediately felt pressure like a mountain. Her lips trembled. “...He’s not lying. These... are his true thoughts... I can sense these images appeared suddenly within his consciousness, untouched by editing or alteration...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone around understood her meaning: “suddenly appeared” confirmed Wei De’s claim of receiving the divine revelation at death’s brink; “untouched by editing or alteration” meant these were not his own fantasies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Comrades, the moment of choice has come! Will all of humanity perish together, or will we willingly submit to the Lord and preserve a sliver of hope for our species? Will we sever ties with old humanity for the sake of the new, or cling to false kindness and drag all of humanity into hell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei De smiled at the group. Hamid struggled. Daniel raged. Helen hesitated. Silva looked bewildered. Jane covered her head, crouched on the ground, and wept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Yang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If every awakened person had received the god’s favor, unquestionably Yang Yi was the favored child—she appeared with immense power, no one knew her limits, and, exaggerating slightly, she was currently Earth’s only superhuman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared her, so he never came himself. If he could win Yang Yi to his side, it would benefit the Divine Punishment Organization and the future of the new humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since orchestrating the United Nations bombing, he had thoroughly investigated Yang Yi: a bleak, abused childhood; as a teenage girl, she nearly been sold by her own family. Given her life story, if she had grown into a sociopathic serial killer, a learned-helpless wreck, a street thug or a prostitute, he wouldn’t have been the least surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a psychologist, Wei De had seen countless mentally twisted patients and criminals shaped by childhood trauma. Yet she had become a normal person with psychological issues—enough to inspire admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before awakening, she lived an ordinary life without superpowers. After awakening, she gained rare, immense power—but she did not seek revenge on the world, nor exploit her abilities for personal gain, nor greedily seize power or wealth, nor cruelly manipulate human nature, nor display even a trace of arrogance. She lived as before, merely occasionally using her powers to wander alone into deep mountains, oceans, skies, and wild, uninhabited places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a former psychologist, Wei De carefully analyzed his opponent’s psyche. He believed Yang Yi had a strong desire to detach from the human world. She sought no revenge or power because she was indifferent to everything human. Her coldness toward humanity stemmed from childhood trauma and her distrust of human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet strangely, when the otherworld invaded and humanity faced threat, she stepped forward to save them—almost contradicting his earlier assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if her superego dominated, placing righteousness above all, then saving humanity’s future would become her primary goal—and that aligned perfectly with his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Wei De sincerely said to Yang Yi: “Yang Yi, if you’re willing to join us, I will gladly surrender the leadership of the Divine Punishment Organization—you are the one truly favored by the god. If you lead the new humanity in submission to the Lord, I believe humanity’s future may be more secure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tornado dispersed. Mist once again blanketed the entire town, thinner than before—visibility expanded from one meter to three, yet still insufficient to see the town clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yang Yi has been inside for two hours and five minutes!” Feng Liancheng told Director Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Zhou fiddled with a cigarette pack, frowning at the distant mist—now pulling out a cigarette to sniff it, now returning it to the pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With her abilities, last time she dealt with the Fire Demon, it took less than forty minutes,” Feng Liancheng added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Zhou grew more anxious, pacing in circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The mist covers roughly ten kilometers—it seems vast, but in two hours, Yang Yi could have circled it thousands of times. If she hasn’t come out yet, something must have happened inside...” Wei Chang’an said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Zhou sighed deeply, his brow furrowed into a deep “ Chuan .”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m anxious too! The previous Class-B awakener who entered never came out—you going in would just be suicide!” The cigarette pack in his hand was crushed out of shape. “If Yang Yi gets trapped too, no one else can handle this mist—we’ll have to nuke it from inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-white mist still curled and writhed, breathing like a living thing, radiating an ominous aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You make a lot of sense! I’m almost convinced!” Yang Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel stared at Yang Yi in shock. Helen was also surprised. Silva turned his anger toward her. Hamid, hearing her words, exhaled in relief—as if a heavy burden had been lifted. Jane frowned at Yang Yi, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei De’s heart eased. He smiled with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I still have questions. I wonder if you can answer them.” Yang Yi’s expression was blank, her tone flat, her gaze calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please,” Wei De gestured gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said the Lord granted you the ability to project. But according to your account, this god hasn’t yet accepted human submission—how could He have granted you power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi raised an eyebrow, a faint sneer on her lips:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you said, this god is still asleep. The one who truly decided to invade Earth is probably someone else. These shadowy figures behind the scenes are the ones who actually granted you power, opened the interdimensional portal, taught you the sacrificial rituals—and perhaps even implanted those images of dying planets into your mind? Even further: your belief that saving the world is the result of your own careful reasoning is more likely orchestrated by these shadowy figures...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei De’s gentle smile slowly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi spread her hands. “Even if you offered me the leadership of the Divine Punishment Organization, would I still be obeying them? Then what difference does it make whether I sit in that chair or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-20T07:52:47.920Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f22f3c89d04b2a3d6e4f93a458868cfeb1b8183b3acc878991c3362847671b1d","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-27","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-25",246,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-cover.jpg"]
