"What?! Hunting an evil god?" He was completely bewildered.
Who is the evil god?
When did I ever hunt him?
He suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Ah, I got so caught up talking to you, I forgot the main thing. Never mind that, I'll go get the statue of the Goddess of Rabbits first."
"There are statues too!!!"
As if being given a lollipop to cheer him up, upon hearing that the villagers here had also built their own statues, he immediately became all smiles, all his previous doubts vanishing.
"The villagers here are so kind."
Soon, the man who had just left returned with a few others, all carrying a statue. But the moment he saw it, he froze.
Long, disheveled hair, a delicate female face. Besides the fact that she also had horns and white hair, her skin was also snow-white. Even with his childlike mind, he knew they were not the same person.
"What's going on? Who is this?"
"Brother, this is naturally the statue of our great Goddess of Rabbits. We paid a lot to get the best master sculptor around to carve it. Even though we only saw her from afar, her appearance is deeply etched in our minds," the man said proudly.
"This… is… the Goddess of Rabbits?"
"Yes, brother, she's beautiful, isn't she?" the man exclaimed. "Our goddess is not only beautiful and kind, but also incredibly powerful."
"In the past, the continent was influenced by the evil god. Villages became kingdoms, and there was constant war. Bloodshed was everywhere. But as soon as our goddess appeared, she changed the situation, making the evil god flee everywhere. She's very powerful, right?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Hearing the man's words, 'Mao Zhi Nanshen' shook his head repeatedly and said, somewhat angrily, "If she's the Goddess of Rabbits, then who am I?"
"Brother, what are you talking about? You are who you are! Even if you ask us, we don't know who you are. But we've all seen our goddess with our own eyes, there's no mistake about it."
"How is it impossible? I am clearly the Goddess of Rabbits."
The commotion here attracted many people. Looking at him, who was clearly a boy, they shook their heads slightly. Why would a man want to become a goddess so badly?
The world is deteriorating, and human hearts are no longer kind.
"Child, if you want to eat, just say so. Don't impersonate the goddess. That's a grave disrespect," an old woman said earnestly.
"Yes, young man, don't bring trouble upon yourself. Just sit down and eat with us. Our goddess must never be offended."
A group of villagers spoke up. But how could he possibly give up?
You understand a child's temperament. Suspected of being impersonated and then suffering such unjust treatment, how could he simply stop?
"No, I am the Goddess of Rabbits. She's the imposter, she's fake, I am the real one!"
"Stop it. If you continue to insult and question our goddess like this, we'll have to kick you out," the man said, his smile gone, scolding him sternly.
"I told you I'm the real one, I'm the real one!" 'Mao Zhi Nanshen' shouted in his heart, feeling anxious.
"Hmph, you're the real one? There's a limit to making up lies. Are any of us here blind? We remember the goddess's appearance clearly."
"Get out, get out! We don't welcome you in our village!"
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
A large group of villagers surrounded him, brandishing pots, pans, axes, and knives. 'Mao Zhi Nanshen' wanted to use his power but was afraid of hurting them, so he could only release a wisp of his aura, pushing the approaching villagers back.
He took the opportunity to flee the village, shouting, "I will definitely prove it to you."
In the days that followed, he searched everywhere for news about the Goddess of Rabbits. But without exception, everyone who had seen the true appearance of the Goddess of Rabbits described her exactly like the statue.
His heart grew more and more panicked.
[The Goddess of Rabbits lives in the Land of Ancestors.]
[The Goddess of Rabbits once had a great battle with the evil god on the northern coast.]
When he received these two pieces of news, his heart was uneasy, because he vaguely understood something, but he was unwilling to admit it.
He faltered, and finally, gathering his courage, he headed for the northern coast.
Vast sand dunes and sea. It would be difficult for others to find even a trace, but for him, it was just as easy.
He probed carefully, then reached out and grabbed. A massive human-faced box flew up from the deep sea and appeared before him.
"You are afraid."
Man and box stood silently opposed. Finally, a fluctuation came from within the box, and it spoke first: "We are both gods. I am technically your predecessor. I can sense the fear in your heart."
'Mao Zhi Nanshen' was silent for a moment. "I ask you, me and that woman, her, am I just a copy?"
"A copy? You're overthinking it, you're merely an imitation," the evil god sneered. "Even though I've been expelled, as a native god of this world, I can still sense your birth."
"I don't know why you appeared, but you were undoubtedly created with that guy as a template. Look at those two horns, it's disgusting!"
"I don't believe you."
"If you really didn't believe me, you wouldn't have come all the way here to find me. The only one who has had any interaction with either of you is me." The Blessed Box trembled slightly. "My words are the best evidence."
The evil god's words silenced. Although he had already guessed, and believed he was prepared, he still couldn't remain calm when he truly received the answer.
"Then what am I? Why did they create me? Just an imitation, what's the meaning of my existence?"
"No one recognizes me, no one truly feels me. Born alone, even the very existence of myself must now be denied?!"
"What is this?!" He shouted, venting, lamenting all of it, tears streaming down his face, grieving like a child. "I'm not resigned! Why can she enjoy others' reverence, while I can only hide in the corner?"
"Not resigned? Very good, then use your own power to conquer them," the Jashin Cult whispered. "This world was always meant to be this way. The strong live, the weak die. Eternal slaughter is the truth of this world."
"Let me out. The two gods will join forces and utterly destroy that woman who ruined everything."
