Chapter 55: The Life of the Water Soul: The Truth About the Reincarnation of the River God
Since then, the river god has stayed in the heavenly realm to guard the barrier that seals the plague god, where there has always been lonely, sad and cold, the river god has stayed there without regrets, but she is not lonely, there is a bitter existence always with her, that is, the plague god.

The plague god talks about his tragic past every day, from birth to confusion to the complete denial of existence...... Whether the river god listened or not, he would speak very devotedly, with a sad face and resentment of this unjust world.
"The existence of everything in the world has its value, as long as you are no longer at a loss, even if heaven and earth deny you, it will not stop your obsession. "The god of time and space once said this to the plague god, and when he said this, he was very sincere and contradictory, which was a rare feeling for him.
Late at night, he stared at the lights of thousands of homes on the ground, his heart was sad and heavy, and the sadness in his lonely eyes was undiminished: "Since I was born, no one has told me what I am, why I exist, where I am going, and the creatures that are close to me will turn into dry bones over time, and I wander and wander alone, looking at the sky hesitantly, and I can't get an answer from the gods." β
"There was no one to walk along the way, watching those creatures die because of their existence, looking at the disgusted eyes of the gods, is all this what I want? Why is this my fate? I don't want to bear the common people, I can't bear to hurt any living beings, but what is the exchange? I am trapped like this! Heaven and earth give birth to me for no reason, but they want to kill me! Later, I learned that where is there any way of heaven, only the supreme power, the chess god does not hesitate to stain his hands with blood, what does he take the common people? I was trapped for the sake of the world, why did these words come out of his mouth so ridiculous......"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "I deserve it, I'm too naΓ―ve, because I'm not strong enough, I'm bullied, because I'm not like him to do anything for strength and power, I'm subject to him, my existence is for the death of some living beings, so the improvement of my ability is related to the life and death of living beings, if I can still get out, I will let the gods give way and take a seat that belongs to me the most." β
The cold night breeze gently struck, the river god couldn't help but think of his own affairs, his eyes dimmed, a sense of sympathy spread in her heart, she smiled bitterly: "I sympathize with your plight, but if you want to do it like this, the price is that you have become a hypocrite like the chess god." Can you bear to be the most disgusted person of all? Although I don't know what it feels like to die, it seems to me that living like that is still a boundless loneliness, worse than death. Maybe a chess god would never think like that, but I would. β
"Can you let me out?" the plague god's sudden words made the river god completely stunned.
"I am not willing to end like this for thousands of years, if everything can be repeated......" The hand that the plague god put on his clothes grabbed the clothes: "I want to go again, follow the path of my obsession, for this, I am willing to pay any price...... I am not willing to let the chess god be supreme, I am not willing to be trapped here forever if I don't do anything, I am not willing to ......" Before the words were finished, the barrier was suddenly broken, and the plague god was stunned.
The river god's eyes were full of contradictions and complexities, and he closed his eyes and shook his head as if he had made up his mind, opened his eyes and said lightly: "I can see that what you said is all true, let's go, while I haven't regretted it......"
Seeing this, the plague god smiled at the river god with his sharp fangs, "Thank you!" As soon as the words fell, they turned into a cloud of black smoke and flew away.
The first thing the plague god did when he descended to the mortal earth was to absorb the powerful power of the souls of the dead, but the dead who were absorbed into the souls must have his plague, so he spread the plague everywhere. In the blink of an eye in the sky, a month on earth, and in that short month, many people on the earth have died of plagues, and the gods learned that the situation was not good, and the lower realm captured the plague god.
After a vicious battle, the plague god was sealed by the gods again, but the difference is that this time the chess god's skill was greatly damaged, and the rain god was still gloating on the sidelines.
That night, the river god stood alone in the place where the plague god had been sealed, looking at the lights of thousands of homes, but the tragic scene of corpses all over the ground suddenly flashed in his mind.
Those innocent lives are because of me...... I hurt it...... At that moment, her eyes were hollow, and she fell to her knees weakly, she still regretted it, regretted her ridiculous compassion.
Her heart trembled with cold in the evening breeze, and she was always stunned, and her wide-eyed eyes could not see a trace of light.
He's a plague god, is he wrong...... But I'm wrong...... This contradictory proposition broke her self-reproach.
The gods are still discussing how to cure the sin of the river god, but they are stopped by the rain god, the chess god does not want to make trouble with the rain god, he understands the temperament of the rain god, if he does not take a step back, there will soon be a second "empty shadow chaos", and the gods do not want to provoke this god who will have no bottom line at all, more than one thing is better than one less.
The matter would have been over, and no one would have thought that the most unforgiving thing for the river god was the river god himself.
The rain god was the one who cared most about the river god, and he approached the river god, who did not look back, still kneeling weakly, and the emaciated figure was trembling with crying, and the rain god could see that the heart was full of helplessness and overwhelm.
"If the gods hadn't sealed the plague god in time, the human world would have been ruined, and I was truly unforgivable! I was so hateful that I had betrayed everyone's trust in me...... How can someone like me be worthy of being a river god...... I don't deserve to be forgiven......" She hid her face and cried bitterly, tears flowed from her fingers, she felt that she had no face to face the rain god, and she did not deserve the rain god to block the punishment for her, she didn't know how to let go, thinking of those innocent dead creatures, no matter what, she couldn't forgive her crimes.
The rain god couldn't see her face, but he knew better than anyone how much remorse she felt in her heart.
He couldn't stop her from trying to go back, and she self-destructed and fell into the dust, and he sighed as he looked at the river where she had lived.
The voices and smiles of all the creatures she had ever seen, the concern of the rain god...... The joys and sorrows of the past, the moment she closed her eyes, disappeared from her world, and she knew that everything was destined to end.
The rain god is still the person who knows her best, and she really threw herself into the small river at the foot of Shu Mountain, the place that now evokes a trace of nostalgia for her.
The river god did not completely destroy the godhead, because one of the godheads still existed, and when he fell into the water, he was not reincarnated as a fish, but became a baby very similar to his childhood, and that baby was the soul of the water. Therefore, when I was a baby, my soul climbed ashore because of that spiritual power, and became a non-human, non-god, and non-demon existence, which belonged to the Three Realms, but existed between heaven and earth.
When the baby climbed ashore, he cried and cried, and when the chief of the road passed by, and saw that the baby was unattended, he hurriedly picked him up, took off his coat, wrapped him tightly, patted him on the back, and made him happy. The Taoist waited for a long time at the foot of the mountain, but no one claimed the child, and when he saw that the child was pitiful, he thought that he might be forced to be abandoned by someone's family, and he took him in pity.
When the water soul grew to the same height as the river god, the spiritual power that was difficult for humans to contain began to grow rapidly, erupting from time to time, and it was difficult to completely control it.
