Although the village chief's plan ended in failure, he still said with great superiority: "So what if I lost? No one can fool a god like I did. You must be very angry after listening to what I said! But anger cannot change the reality. After all, I am a human who almost became a god. Among humans, I am a great pioneer..."

Sang Yu impatiently stepped on the village chief's face to stop him from talking.

"I know you want to show off before you die, but I don't want to hear it..."

The village chief made a "wuwuwu" sound from his mouth, trying to make his last struggle before death.

He planted the tree on the body of Lady Xi and used the roots of the tree to seize Lady Xi's divine power.

However, these divine powers are also like roots that are rooted in his flesh and blood...

His body slowly turned into wood, and the surface of his skin became stiff, like cracked bark... His flesh and blood were like dried bacon, growing twisted rings year after year.

It was not until he saw Sang Yu and Lu Xun appear that the village chief felt a powerful force from these two people and hope suddenly arose in his heart.

His intuition told him... as long as he could seize the power from these two, he would definitely get rid of his current half-human, half-ghost form and become a true god.

The result was unexpected...

He would lose so miserably!

[Village Chief, I understand you. I used to be this kind of selfish, greedy, mean, shameless, disgusting and dirty person.]

[The above poster is really cruel, he doesn’t even spare himself when he scolds others]

[I have to say, this old Deng is quite good at understanding human nature. He can fool the people in the village]

[After all, "greed and desire" are the most likely to blind people's hearts]

[I thought the big boss would be Lady Xi, but it turned out to be this old bitch]

[So... the body of Lady Xi is now under the big tree in Lao Deng's house?]

The village chief, whose body was cut into a stick, began to crack.

Through the scarlet cracks, one could clearly see the texture of his wood-like flesh.

All the white threads rooted in his body broke, more and more cracks appeared on his body, and pieces of sawdust fell from the surface of his stiff skin.

The "woooo" sound from his mouth turned into a wail of pain.

The heart-wrenching pain was like a saw slowly pulling at his body.

His hollow eye sockets stared upwards, as if he saw a scene from the past...

In front of the statue of Goddess Xi, he knelt on the ground and reverently held up the mask used for divination.

"This time... is it joy or anger?"

Joy represents hope for the future.

Anger represents a bumpy road ahead.

People use divination to predict the mood of the Goddess of Joy to seek guidance, but their actual purpose... is to seek a good result.

He threw the mask high up, his eyes following the mask's rise and fall, and then fell to the ground.

His eyelids twitched when he saw the answer given by the mask.

“Angry…huh!”

Just as he was about to pick up the mask and start over, he saw a person kneeling next to him...

Before his consciousness faded, the village chief couldn't help but recall when he knelt in front of the statue... What was he praying for?

But until his body was completely broken into pieces, he still didn't think of...

He died with great reluctance but also with a sense of relief.

All the trees in Changshou Village withered at this moment.

The cousin put his ear against the door and eavesdropped, and was caught red-handed when Sang Yu opened the door.

“Cousin… Cousin! You finally came out. I was just about to rush in to save you!”

Sang Yu didn't expose him, and laughed: "Cousin, you are so brave. If I had known... I wouldn't have kicked you out."

My cousin scratched the back of his head guiltily: "That's not necessary."

He knew that if it weren't for his cousin's kick, if he stayed, he would definitely be poked into a hornet's nest by the village chief who had turned into a monster.

"I didn't expect the village chief to be such a worthless person..."

My cousin kicked the pieces of wood on the ground a few times.

He overheard the whole truth through the door and was disgusted with the village chief's actions.

"He harmed Lady Xi and all of us. This old bastard deserves to die."

Of course, he also understood...the ancestors in the village were not innocent.

It’s just a pity for their descendants who don’t know the truth.

The cousin picked up the wood on the ground and said to Sang Yu, "He is the village chief of our village after all. As a five-good villager of Changshou Village... I am willing to collect the body of the village chief and cremate him."

Sang Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say: "Although the village chief is not a human, my cousin... is a real dog!"

My cousin smiled innocently and said, "By the way, stew an old hen to make the village chief's body glow and give it its final value."

After saying that, he trotted into the kitchen holding the village chief's "block of wood".

After going in and out several times, my cousin finally carried all the "wood blocks" into the kitchen.

[My cousin’s mental state is still too advanced]

[He actually stole Sister Yu’s firewood…]

[Village Chief: Thank you for collecting my body and not forgetting to cremate it]

[This is the most valuable moment in the village chief’s life]

[So... what did the old hen do wrong?]

[Wrong: It smells really good...]

With the death of the village chief, all the trees in Changshou Village withered and their leaves fell, and the sky that had been obscured finally appeared above the village.

The moonlight cast a dim glow, dry branches were baring their fangs and claws in the night, a thick layer of fallen leaves fell on the ground, and the whole air was filled with the smell of decay.

Sang Yu came to the village chief's house alone.

The body hanging upside down from the tree has been taken down.

This centuries-old tree finally withered. The bark on the trunk had all cracked, and bright red liquid slowly seeped out along the cracks, revealing a texture similar to human flesh and blood.

Sang Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at the changes in the tree, then smiled and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really interesting."

The village chief plotted against Lady Xi and wanted to become a god by absorbing her divine power.

However, as time went by, his skin and flesh became like a tree.

And this tree...

Beneath its rough skin, its body became like that of a human, growing human flesh and blood.

"Bai Wei said that Empress Xi is very likely the last true god. Her ability is to be able to see through the mysteries of heaven and know the future... So humans use her mask as a divination to seek guidance..."

How could a god who can see into the secrets of heaven be calculated by a tiny human?

"When humans no longer believe in gods, gods begin to gradually disappear..."

"It seems that this is the way out she has planned for herself."

The poor village chief thought he had planned everything before he died.
