Chapter 1311: I Don’t Feel Anything

Chapter 1311: I Don’t Feel Anything

At first glance, she looked a bit like Su Kexin.

Could it be an illusion? Even a statue can be this enchanting?

Are you perhaps the reincarnation of a War God?

And what about me? Am I a Demon God? I should at least have a cool backstory, right? Otherwise, where’s my face?

Oh right, I’m a young idealist reincarnated from the 21st century, to be precise, I’ve crossed over.

“You brought us here to say she’s related to the War God, didn’t you?” Lin Nuo said, hitting right on the Sacred Master’s point.

“A hero can be quite shrewd, figuring it out in an instant.”

“Anyone could guess that… Forget it, you’re not even human. So, how did you figure she’s connected to this statue?”

“Because of the power she possesses.”

“You’ve seen her power?”

“I’ve heard about it. As for how Aike died, she was surely part of the reason. Though I didn’t witness the entire process, so I can’t really comment.”

“You’ve already commented…”

Lin Nuo retorted, saying those of you with long beards and staffs sound profound, but if you look closely, it’s full of holes.

“You’re not wrong; it was her who killed him.”

Lin Nuo added, but Su Kexin wasn’t happy about it:

“Where? Clearly, it was my Senior Martial Brother!”

“Then the question is, how did I kill him?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Uh… uh…”

Su Kexin paused, suddenly speechless.

When Lin Nuo was using his dual-wield tactic, she was still unconscious, so how would she know what he did?

“Anyway, if I didn’t kill him, then it must be my Senior Martial Brother who did. Who else could it be? I don’t care; it’s definitely my Senior Martial Brother. He’s the best in the world!”

“What about up in the heavens?”

“Still the best, it’s all the same!”

Su Kexin remained as devoted as ever, her idol-worship for Lin Nuo blinding her to the possibility of her even being able to kill him.

“Forget it, I won’t argue with you.”

Lin Nuo turned to the Sacred Master and continued,

“I think you should just call her the Valkyrie; naming is quite important.”

“This title is from our predecessors, it’s been passed down like this.”

“Alright then. So what do you mean? Do you think she’s the reincarnation of the War God, like the princess of Tian Du, her soul being reborn in the human realm?”

“Anything’s possible. But I can’t prove it; I just brought you here, hoping for some enlightenment. If not, I apologize for wasting your time.”

The Sacred Master was polite, like a monk at a temple, treating the patrons kindly.

“Then as for the great contributions of the War God you mentioned, if they genuinely existed, there must be records that have been passed down.”

Lin Nuo asked, as he loved hearing stories and always enjoyed running around hearing old men tell ridiculous tales.

“That was over a hundred years ago. Back then, there was a crisis in the Sacred Realm. The Demon Path was thriving, and the Sacred Realm was in chaos, fighting among themselves, giving the Demon Realm a chance to invade. The demons opened the gateway between the realms and attacked the Sacred Realm. Then many holy warriors were demonized, and the demon army grew larger. In the critical moment of survival for the Sacred Realm, Ling Qi appeared. She was a genius holy warrior with the power to counter demons. She couldn’t be defeated; each time she was on the verge of death, she would unleash her potentials, growing braver with every battle, ultimately bringing peace by pushing the demons back to the Demon Realm.”

“So she would gain a powerful force just when she was about to die and then turn the tide?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Yes, that’s why she’s revered as a deity, the guardian spirit of the Sacred Realm.”

“Then here’s the question: if the deity is so powerful, why isn’t she alive?”

“According to records, she exhausted her body during the war. Not long after, she passed away. It’s said that she did have descendants, but after her death, the demons from the Demon Realm sought revenge, and eventually, all her close kin were killed.”

“So she used all her abilities on the battlefield and then was gone. Her descendants were also killed by enemies. But her contributions are undeniable; she truly saved the Sacred Realm, leading to the statue in her honor. Now here’s the question: you brought us here; she’s just a statue; will her soul return here?”

“The shrine is widely accepted. She is a deity we revere, and her soul will surely return, just like fallen leaves returning to their roots.”

“But that’s just talk.”

Lin Nuo scoffed, this is no different from those feudal superstitions. You erect a statue, claim the God of Wealth will come, and he just shows up?

Isn’t the appearance of the God of Wealth just a product of their imagination? Who has ever seen the real one?

It’s all just psychological comfort.

After all this, it turns out this was just their wishful thinking; he thought the statue in the shrine could turn into a deity.

But to be fair, the shrine looked old and imposing; who knows what divine power it really holds.

That War God’s abilities are strikingly similar to Su Kexin’s.

So, would it mean Su Kexin might also exhaust herself from overexertion and suddenly pass away one day?

“Do you have any thoughts about this statue?”

Lin Nuo turned to Su Kexin.

“She looked magnificent; she must have indeed had the bravery to stand against thousands in her time.”

“I’m not asking you to critique her; I’m asking if any memories popped into your mind? Like waking up something?”

“What memories?” Su Kexin looked confused.

“Like you on the battlefield, slaying demons, using your no-matching power to cleave through enemies, charging across the battlefield, invincible. So, you’re stepping into this Valkyrie’s shoes; you become the goddess of slaying demons.”

“Huh? No, that was all my Senior Martial Brother killing them, right?”

“Not… stop bringing me into this…”

Lin Nuo was speechless, how come the protagonist always praises the villain?

“Just tell me, do you feel anything?” Lin Nuo continued to ask.

“Nothing at all. Not a single feeling.”

“Alright.”

Lin Nuo immediately drew a conclusion; generally, in such situations, something would trigger a plot transition, but if nothing, then it’s all nonsense.

“Okay, I can confirm she’s not related to this statue. I’m not afraid of offending anyone; if the deity truly had spirits, during this time when the Sacred Realm was ravaged by the Handa Alliance, she would show up. Ultimately, you all overestimated yourselves. How can you be sure a deity would bless you? And you all should reflect on yourselves; do you truly deserve everything that noble predecessors were guarding for you?”

Lin Nuo didn’t hold back as he criticized those who always expected divine protection. Always begging for divine help, what about unless the enemies don’t have divine protection?

“You’re right. The Sacred Realm indeed didn’t cherish the peace bestowed by the War God, constantly embroiled in internal strife. I, having been a member of the shrine’s clergy, was easily swayed into thinking the Handa Alliance could quell the chaos in the Sacred Realm. Indeed, we are not worthy of the War God’s protection, and the outcome clearly reflects this. If this young lady feels nothing, then let’s send you all back.”

The Sacred Master started to activate the teleportation array to send Lin Nuo and the others back, but at that moment, the statue of the Valkyrie emitted a faint glow.
