Chapter 1569: The end of death

Tsk... blaming the road for being uneven because your shoes aren't good!

Facing the repeated shooing from the Third Director, Leon couldn't help but roll his eyes speechlessly, then turned around amidst the apologetic gaze of the Taurus Director, and then met Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's resentful gaze.

"..."

Damn it, the problem here hasn't been solved yet...

"Leon..."

Looking at Leon's slightly stiff expression, the tall beauty's eyes couldn't help but dim slightly, then she subconsciously turned her head away, and said in a low voice with a depressed expression:

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you, I... I just want to ask you one more thing: if I hadn't gone out on a mission back then, but had stayed in the Capital, would our... would our result be different?"

"..."

Feeling the lake of Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's heart filled with loss and pain, Leon, who felt guilty in his heart, originally wanted to firmly refuse, but couldn't open his mouth no matter what. He had to turn his head away as well, and said with somewhat ambiguous meaning:

"Auntie Auntie Ai Ma... Senior, these assumptions representing 'maybe' can no longer change the reality that happened in the past... I admit, back then I indeed had... uh..."

Halfway through his sentence, Leon seemed to have remembered something. As if inspired, he turned his head to look behind him, and then, as expected, saw more than a dozen pairs of bright eyes.

"..."

"..."

"What are you standing there for? Set up my pot!"

"Quick! Everyone start digging graves! Find the big ones first!"

"Hurry up, invite the sages inside out, and then we'll lie in!"

"..."

Damn! This bunch of idiots!

Watching the crowd, which had transformed from extreme stillness to extreme movement as if they had been wound up, Leon couldn't help but close his eyes, shrink his neck, and tilt his head back, instantly transforming into a subway old man, with an expression of disgust on his face.

I'm really drunk... We're about to go to war with the Dead World, and you guys still have the heart to eat my melon?

After the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, Leon decisively pulled Auntie Auntie Ai Ma and walked further away, arriving at the tree the old man had pointed to earlier. Then, holding Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's arm, he said softly with guilt in his eyes:

"I'm sorry, Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, I cannot..."

"No, you don't need to say sorry!"

Reaching out to block Leon's lips, just like the countless predecessors in dog-blood dramas had verified, facing Leon's active apology, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma shook her head slightly, then said with a dim expression:

"Not only do you have nothing to apologize to me for, but you have saved me again and again. I... perhaps it is I who am insatiable..."

"..."

"I'm sorry, Leon, I... my soul might not be repaired yet, I want to go back and lie down for a while, is that okay?"

"Okay..."

Reaching out to stroke the ring on his hand, Leon finally nodded with a hard heart, not opening his mouth to stay her, but watching Auntie Auntie Ai Ma turn and leave, then couldn't help but sigh softly when she walked out of his line of sight.

Auntie Auntie Ai Ma really didn't do anything wrong, but Veronica didn't do anything wrong either. If he rashly gave any promises just because of his reluctance in his heart, he would only hurt everyone at once, so...

"Zzz" Hearing the familiar harsh sound in his ear, Leon couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that it should be his choice that triggered some badge again, and it was mostly a badge with a very unpleasant name, probably Cold-Blooded Man or...

【In the process of falling off the Cliff of the End, you hit the First Dead One who was pushed off the cliff, and at the cost of promising to take revenge for it, you absorbed a portion of its Death Authority with its permission】

【The current number of Dead World True Gods devoured is 3, specifically "Dog Guarding Death", "Wailing Doll", and "First Dead One".

The remaining number of Dead World True Gods not devoured is 12, specifically "Crow-Eyed Granny", "Faceless One", "Digging River Yellow Earthworm", "Face-Lining Master", "Death Monk", "Lantern Old Man"...】

【After devouring all the Dead World True Gods, your hidden Gold-level badge "Eating God Evil Ghost" will advance to the hidden exotic badge "I Am the End of Death", current progress is 3/15】

"???"

What kind of situation is this again?!?!?

And just as Leon was stunned, a huge, indescribable sense of emptiness suddenly came from the depths of his soul.

It was as if something called "self" had been cut off by someone, and then thrown into a cold machine and completely ground to pieces. That terrible sense of loss made Leon's whole body spin, and if he hadn't held onto the tree trunk nearby, he might have fallen directly to the ground.

This is... that part of my soul, shattered by the Cliff of the End?

Although he didn't get the memories of that part of the soul, through the "break" in the soul came a cold aura that was of the same origin as Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's authority but was thousands of times stronger. Leon immediately understood the encounter of that part of his soul fragment.

Missing a part of the soul was not unacceptable. When he decided to split a part of his soul to enter the Dead World, Leon had already prepared to permanently lose this part of the soul, but... what about the First Dead One? How did it also get pushed off the Cliff of the End?

"Lord Taurus!"

Read every word correctly!

After getting this shocking news, Leon couldn't care about dealing with the discomfort brought by the missing part of the soul, and staggered back toward the bubbling big pot. Then, amidst the suspicious gazes of the crowd, he said with a pale face:

"The part of my soul that entered the Dead World earlier fell off the Cliff of the End together with the First Dead One. Now it should have been shattered by the Cliff of the End and returned directly to the origin of the world!"

Ah?!?!?

Facing this incredibly shocking news, a group of cleaners were stunned on the spot, then fell into a dead silence.

A moment later, the spoon in the old man's hand fell off and hit the boiling pot with a thud. As the dead silence was broken by this sudden sound, the cleaners were suddenly in an uproar!

"You killed the First Dead One?!"

"That is the oldest Lord of the Dead World! Your quarter of a soul killed it?"

"No... it was neutral! You kill even the neutral ones?"

"It's over! If the First Dead One is gone, what about the Road of No Return?"

"Damn my spoon!"

"Shut up all of you!!!!!!"

The Taurus Director, who had come back to her senses, gave a roar, stopping the cleaners who were talking all at once, then gritted her teeth and looked at Leon:

"Leon! You tell me! What exactly happened?"

"The First Dead One was not killed by me. The specific process is unclear, but the First Dead One was pushed off the Cliff of the End, and now it must be gone."

Hiding the part about the badge and only talking about the "intelligence" he got through the soul fragment, Leon inferred somewhat uncertainly:

"According to the information I got, the First Dead One should have been harmed by someone. Could it be that the Lords of the Dead World had an internal conflict?"
