Upon closer look, countless rays of light refracted within his form—as if this were merely a projection, not his true body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vid, the Lord has sensed your devotion,” he said, his tone deeply unnatural—not human, merely a crude imitation of human vocal apparatus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Agos,” Vid cried in fervor, “to personally offer sacrifice to the Lord is my greatest honor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this is far from enough. Among countless worlds, Earth is but a sapling in the Lord’s pasture—unworthy of His gaze. You must do more…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Agos fell silent, snapping his head upward toward the dark sky, as if sensing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone is calling the Lord’s name… though only the first syllable…” Agos’s voice was unreadable, “…and on Earth…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vid gasped. “To utter the Lord’s name directly! He’s mad—he’ll destroy Earth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find this person quickly…” Agos’s tone was inscrutable, “whoever dares speak the Lord’s name must pay the price!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>&&\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Wucheng, the full moon hung high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight flowed like water, bathing the entire city in clarity, making this place long shrouded in mist feel suddenly transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi landed atop a high peak, steadied her breath, and readjusted her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Events this night had come too suddenly. She had merely sought to locate the two-thousand-strong collective monster, yet ended up confronting the true mastermind—and unwittingly served as bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at yourself now,” it sneered, “enduring the temptation of human life-source, clinging to your so-called moral line, forced to feed on monsters. Compared to humans, you’re more of a monster yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as I have a human heart, I am human.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi twisted her stiff neck oddly, having just restored her deformed body—yet her flesh still felt strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So now you use this to hypnotize yourself? If those you consider your kind—the humans—knew the malformed monster in the sky was you, would they still call you human?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wear a human form, speak human speech, do human deeds—who can say I’m not human?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face twitched as she forced a smile, but her body still had minor imperfections in its restoration—the smile looked alien, unnatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The moment you say that, you drift farther from true humanity…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It chuckled, the sound laden with meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, all citizens of the city had been forcibly put to sleep by her; she was naked, her original clothes torn apart during her transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi had no choice but to become a thief—using her mind-force to steal a set of clothes nearby and dressing herself before returning alone to Lotus Hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wucheng welcomed its long-awaited peaceful night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night passed. At dawn the next day, people noticed something different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mist had thinned, and the eerie atmosphere had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the sun rose and no one was missing, and no monstrous attacks occurred, did they recall a news report: “S-Class Awakened Yang Yi arrived in Wucheng yesterday to resolve the alien threat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That can’t be fast enough! Wuming City was also an A-Class threat, and Miss Superhuman took three days to resolve it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Wucheng was worse—twice as many dead as Wuming! How could it be solved on the first day…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe the alien type is different?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Facts speak louder than words! When I heard Yang Yi came, I thought it’d take days—yet this morning I woke up and felt the atmosphere was wrong! Too quiet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All those Awakened ones bragging around the city, killing monsters for ages—and couldn’t solve it! Yang Miss solved it on her first day!!! Xia Guo can do without every other Awakened, but it cannot do without Yang Miss herself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Human god, so powerful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Superhuman, I love you! You are god! You are light! You are the only myth…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My grandma wants to erect a longevity tablet for her! I dare not even admit I fantasize about her—afraid she’ll beat me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Family, you don’t understand—I watch national news every day just to catch a glimpse of her! That calm, serene gaze of hers nearly kills me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…I creep in the shadows, staring at her photos daily, screaming, imagining her towering above, gazing down at me with cold indifference—I tremble all over. Ah, if she so much as glances at me like a blade of grass, I’d combust with excitement…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Upstairs, show some restraint!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, whether on the streets or online, everyone following the Wucheng crisis was talking about Wucheng’s extraordinary calm—and about Yang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Awakened reinforcements who had come to Wucheng spent most of last night patrolling outside, only to inexplicably fall asleep on the streets and suffer nightmares—waking to find mist thinned and monsters gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their nightmares had felt terrifyingly vivid, yet upon reflection, they remembered nothing—utterly bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they returned to Lotus Hotel, they learned from Wei Chang’an, who had come with Yang Yi, that she had indeed gone out alone last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… was it really her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did she do it? What did she do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Awakened, exhausted from days of frantic pursuit, were overwhelmed with complex emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of Awakened had labored for a full week, unable even to determine the monster’s origin. Yang Yi, in one day, resolved the crisis that had terrified the entire city and province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi was still asleep in the hotel, unaware of the world’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-20T07:52:47.920Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a6c3bf1021927f1e9685b8869725e98746ca77c4aeb5aaecb3df2c2f00e157f6","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-69","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-67",246,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-cover.jpg"]
