After becoming a god on earth, I always want to lie down

He was right, I hated human beings in reality, and I had never been a saint. This image was just a trick to deceive the world, and occasionally to deceive myself - Yang Yi admitted this in his heart.

"They're disappointing you, aren't they?"

Lin Mu had been observing her, not through her facial expressions or movements, but through the aura she exuded, just like a woodlouse extending its antennae to sense the humidity in the air.

“Disappointed time and again… They are so greedy. They have the ability to create more value for society, but they use it to make profits for themselves. They indulge in their natural pursuit of power and lust. Look at this red building, it’s proof of that!

"They are naturally inclined to admire the strong and bully the weak! They worship and follow the strong, and instinctively despise the weak. They satisfy their desire for power and gain proof of their own strength through bullying. Do you think they are really grateful to you for saving the world? Is it you they worship? No! They only worship the strong themselves!

"When you were weak - yes, I mean before you awakened, how did they treat you? How did your relatives abuse you? As the most ignorant and weak ordinary people, they couldn't even defeat slightly stronger people, but they could get pleasure from abusing you when you were still a child! Isn't this enough proof?"

Yang Yi's breathing became a little heavy. She lowered her arms and looked at Lin Mu silently.

“Human beings are nothing more than a group of ordinary low-level creatures, born on Earth by chance, just like a cluster of mold that is born on a rotten apple by chance. The mold thinks it is great, but measured by the entire universe, it is nothing.

"They are ugly, greedy, shallow, and impulsive by nature... They are stupid lambs who need the shepherd to whip them constantly before they will obey! They are born slaves who obey the strong by nature. They need someone to lead them to see the direction!

“Humans are not worthy of respect and have no value. Most of them are just auxiliary materials and culture media, just a breeding ground for the birth of elites and strong people!

"And you! You are the only treasure born from this culture medium - this is the meaning of human existence! Those auxiliary materials can be replaced at any time, but you are born different and irreplaceable. You are the true master of mankind!"

His voice, sometimes sharp and sometimes hoarse, echoed in the empty laboratory hall, as if it could cause resonance, and the sound waves set off echoes.

In a paused world, only Yang Yi and "Lin Mu" stood opposite each other, looking at each other quietly.

"You mean, I should rule over humans?" Yang Yi asked in a dazed tone after a while.

"To be more precise, it means raising them." Lin Mu said meaningfully, "If you want to save them."

"You deliberately possessed Lin Mu and led me to the Red Mansion in order to persuade me to become the master of humans?" Yang Yi had a glaring question mark on her face. She was puzzled: "What good does this do for you?"

"My loyal Lord, your gaze is my direction!" Lin Mu crossed his hands in front of his chest. This was originally a ritual for God in a certain religion on Earth, but he cleverly used it here, which contained something more mysterious and noble than the original meaning.

Yang Yi's heart suddenly stopped, then suddenly started beating violently, faster and faster. She felt her huge heartbeat echoing in the entire experimental hall.

"You are a follower of the evil god." After a long time, she whispered in a low voice, but her tone was affirmative.

"I am your believer." Lin Mu smiled slightly.

"But you are not respectful to me."

"Because you haven't completed the real transformation." Lin Mu's face showed a cunning look, which made him look more like a human: "A small ranch cannot make you truly transformed."

He got it!

Yang Yi's head buzzed and all the oxygen disappeared in an instant, as if he was put into a vacuum. His heart felt suffocated and he couldn't breathe.

In an instant, she took action, grabbed Lin Mu's neck, and lifted him up.

The mental power bound her layer by layer, not even a soul could escape her confinement.

"Why are you so angry?"

Lin Mu's throat was pinched and he couldn't speak, but he still had a weird smile on his face. He asked silently with his lips, "Are you afraid that I will make this public? Are you afraid that they will know that you are the evil god and the cause of the disaster on Earth? Are you afraid that they will know that you have saved them time and time again just because of your ridiculous guilt?"

"I-am-not-the-evil-god!" she said word by word.

"Even if it wasn't before the pasture was drawn, what about now?"

His smile was disgusting. Yang Yi really wanted to strangle his neck to stop him from saying more poisonous words, but the last delicate nerve reminded her that this body was not a follower of the evil god, but an innocent person.

"Can you still eat human food now?" His face was purple, but he still lip-synced, allowing Yang Yi to clearly see what he was saying, "Aren't the people you think of as your own kind your food now?"

It was clearly him whose throat was being strangled, but it was Yang Yi who was breathing heavily.

"You are Him! Why don't you admit it? As long as you abandon that trace of human cognition, abandon that unnecessary sense of belonging to humanity, and break free from these constraints imposed on you, you can be completely transformed and return to the throne of God!

"Don't you want to save them? At that time, the survival of mankind will only depend on your decision!

"Then you will be completely free!"

Freedom! Complete freedom! Ultimate detachment!

Yang Yi's arms trembled, his grip loosened, and Lin Mu fell to the ground.

Yang Yi took two steps back unconsciously. She was struck by a huge sense of absurdity. Could it be that she was dedicated to saving humanity, but in the end, the problem was her own?

As long as we give up our human cognition and our human identity, can humanity be saved? Can we break free from the many constraints on ourselves and achieve liberation?

Is it really that simple?

She looked at Lin Mu blankly, as if she wanted to get some promise from him. Lin Mu stroked his neck and stood up while coughing.

"What are you hesitating about? Didn't you feel that kind of power when you were drawing on the pasture? Don't you think that's where you really belong?"

Yes, that power, that feeling - the entire planet is just a grain of sand between my fingers, the entire solar system is just a toy I can play with at will, the entire Milky Way is just my backyard where I can come and go freely, and the entire universe is just a forest full of fruits, waiting for me to pick the sweet fruits...

Freedom! That is the freedom from all restraints! What really tempted her and made her addicted was not the pleasure of absorbing life, but this feeling - the ultimate transcendence! The freedom from being bound by anything!

She stretched out her hands and looked at them in blank surprise. Her heart was filled with the greatest storm of her life, so much so that she forgot where she was and when she was. Only one question filled her mind - should she do this?

At the moment when her emotions fluctuated, unimaginable changes occurred in her body. An invisible strange force filled the entire experimental hall. She was clearly standing there, but it seemed as if she had disappeared from this world. Suddenly, countless worlds overlapped, overlapped, and intertwined behind her, and she was standing between these mixed worlds...

In that endlessly overlapping world, there were faint cries, desperate barks, and angry roars...

Lin Mu watched this scene excitedly, his whole body trembling. His expression could not bear his intense emotions, but instead showed numbness, which was greatly misaligned with his body movements.

"Is that so?" Yang Yi suddenly asked, "Is it this kind of power?"

"Yes, my supreme Lord, you have already stepped onto the altar, and all that's missing is sitting on the throne yourself. What are you still hesitating about?" Lin Mu shouted loudly, his tone full of eagerness and impatience, and even a hint of hidden resentment of being disappointed in his friends.

"Is this what you call freedom? At the cost of the annihilation of countless lives? Giving up self-awareness and becoming a thing that only knows how to devour lives by instinct?"

Yang Yi slowly raised his head, withdrew his gaze from his hands, and looked at Lin Mu again, his tone light:

"You said that humans are bullying the weak, yes! But you, the followers of the evil god, are also the same kind of people who bully the weak.

"The law of conservation of energy: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed out of thin air. It can only be transformed from one form to another, or transferred from one object to another. The total amount of energy remains unchanged. And your evil god is just such a thing that absorbs the life of all things in the universe and uses it for its own benefit.

"Rather than believing in a certain god, it's better to say that you believe in power itself."

Lin Mu's body, which had been shaking with excitement, gradually calmed down. For the first time, he looked at Yang Yi seriously, instead of looking at her with expectation and scrutiny as before.

"You said that after I transform into an evil god, the survival of mankind will depend on my thoughts. So, may I ask, once the transformation is successful, will I still have self-awareness? Or will I become a blind and foolish chaotic god who acts only on instinct?

"By then, I'm afraid humanity will face a true catastrophe..."

Yang Yi's voice gradually became lower.

She lowered her head and seemed to be lost in thought.

Lin Mu did not refute, but just smiled and said: "But you will get real transcendence, right?"

“Can transcendence that comes at the cost of losing oneself still be called transcendence?”
