On the night at the Zeus Crematorium, Karun sat on a chair and gestured for his grandfather to tie him up to create the illusion that he was also a victim to avoid trouble from the police.

Dis then picked up a knife and stabbed Karun in the chest.

Although the knife did not hit any vital organs, Karun still had to stay in the hospital for many days.

At first, Karun thought that his grandfather did it to make it more realistic and avoid any further attention and trouble.

When the man with the hooked nose, obviously from a special government department, came to his hospital room to ask about his condition, Karun thought that his grandfather might be trying to avoid their attention because they were the regulators.

But after that night of slaughter, Karun suddenly realized a problem: his grandfather didn't care about the police or the special government department.

He could have avoided the act altogether.

So why did he stab himself that night?

However, Karun never asked this question because he felt that it was unnecessary.

It was like an elder playing with a child, accidentally causing the child to fall and scrape their skin. Was it really worth calculating?

Also, Karun guessed that Dis's arrangement for him at the time was to always "behave" like an ordinary person in the Inmores family, so he naturally had to be clean-handed.

But now, the purpose of that stab was finally revealed!

Sometimes, it's really hard to understand, even hard to imagine, that an old man would make such careful preparations for you just because of that one word... "Grandfather."

...

Oak Cemetery.

Black barrier.

Dis's hand withdrew from the black hole in his chest, holding a black mist.

"I swear in the name of Uraneda, if you let me go now, I will give you and your family ten or a hundred times the reward."

Dis didn't respond at all. His figure slowly descended and came to Hoffen and the golden retriever.

"You are facing the greatest crisis, and letting me go is the most correct choice for you now. I, Uraneda, always keep my promises."

Mr. Hoffen looked curiously at the gray mass, his excited face seemed to be pulled up a lot, like a chef seeing the most precious and rare ingredient in the world for the first time.

"I can establish a friendship with the Inmores family. If you can survive this ordeal, I will give you a roadmap to becoming a god."

Dis looked at Hoffen, and Hoffen nodded vigorously.A gray mass was placed in front of Dis. The golden glow beneath his eyes emitted a true divine majesty, gradually making the gray edges appear as if they were inlaid with a layer of gold thread.

Dis asked, "What's your name?"

"Ranedar, my name, once echoed in the previous era!"

"No, that's not your name."

"Not my name?"

"You are... Kevin."

As soon as Dis finished speaking, he slapped the gray mass directly into the body of the golden retriever in front of him.

Mr. Hofen immediately activated the formation, and the golden retriever shimmered with colorful light. After the light was at its peak, it dissipated in an instant.

The golden retriever, who had almost been scared into fainting, slowly opened its eyes at this moment. Its pupils swept around and seemed to discover that the scene around it was still so terrifying. Then it immediately closed its eyes again and coughed up some foam from its throat.

Alfred widened his eyes and watched this scene. Although he witnessed it with his own eyes and participated in it personally, he still felt a great sense of unreality until now.

A demon god was sealed like this? And... it was sealed in a dog's body.

At this time, many beams of light had already arrived here. First to land were three elders from the Order Temple, and the other four beams of light stayed on the periphery.

The barrier was opened, and Dis flew up again. The golden glow in his eyes remained, but he was restraining it. One foot had already stepped in, but the other foot was still outside. However, at this moment, he already possessed a truly divine existence.

The attention of the seven beings present actually fell on Dis, because Dis's reaction would determine their next actions.

Dis faced the beam of light where the Cycle Temple was located and asked, "Does the Cycle Temple want to question whether my Order Temple still has the qualification to represent order?"

The being inside the beam of light of the Cycle Temple obviously hesitated after Dis asked.

At this moment, Siti stood in front of the being inside the beam of light of the Night Temple and asked, "Does the Night Temple want to question whether my Order Temple still has the qualification to represent order?"

Niven stood in front of the being inside the beam of light of the Principle Temple and asked, "Does the Principle Temple want to question whether my Order Temple still has the qualification to represent order?"

Gael stood in front of the being inside the beam of light of the Abyss Temple and asked, "Does the Abyss Temple want to question whether my Order Temple still has the qualification to represent order?"

At this moment, the four beings inside the four beams of light were undoubtedly shocked.They received news that a senior member of the Order of the Gods had chosen self-exile and was about to break away from the Order, but the scene in front of them showed no signs of a split.

But the problem was that after various inquiries through their respective churches, they found that the news was indeed true!

So, had the Order of the Gods already completed negotiations within their ranks?

"The Reincarnation Church respects the Order of the Gods' qualification to maintain order."

"The Night Church acknowledges the Order of the Gods' ability to maintain order."

"The Principle Church thanks the Order of the Gods for their contribution to order."

"The Abyss Church agrees with the Order of the Gods continuing to uphold the rules of order."

When the so-called split no longer existed, they lost their chance to intervene.

Because in this world, no church dared to face the Order of the Gods alone and choose to go to war.

Even if they united, it was impossible because they could not unite to make their own god the only god, which was the fundamental demand and goal of every church.

Most importantly, the Order of the Gods had always maintained order, although they had forcibly gained many privileges and forced other major churches to take a step back, their path was completely different from that of the Bright Church of the past.

This also meant that other churches did not have the fundamental motivation to unite and target the Order of the Gods.

Four beams of light flew away into the distance one after another.

They had arrived,

And then,

They left again.

"Dis, come back with us to the Order of the Gods, accept the position of elder, achieve your supreme status, and at the same time, the glory of order will shine on your family." Gailo spoke to Dis.

Dis did not respond, his figure fell again, and his feet landed in the muddy soil of the cemetery.

In the cemetery were Alfred, Old Hoffen, and a dog.

Because of the barrier that Dis had set up, the outside world could not sense what had just happened inside the barrier.

And the evil god could not be seen, he was already sealed inside the dog, adding another barrier, making him even more invisible.

"Dis, do you know the consequences of disrespecting the Order of the Gods?"

Citi's figure appeared in front of Dis, blocking him.

Dis ignored the high-ranking temple elder in front of him. The gold in his eyes had completely faded away at this moment, and his aura had slipped rapidly. In the end, he only maintained the level of a basic judge of the Order of the Gods.

In other words,

Now Citi could easily crush Dis with one finger, but her face remained stiff.Dis walked past her without stopping, and she just stood there motionless.

Although her temper was notoriously irritable even before becoming an elder in the temple, and she hadn't restrained it at all after becoming one, she was someone who prioritized the bigger picture.

The Order of the Gods needed Dis.

Unless Dis really expressed a clear stance of separation, even if she shouted loudly, she still couldn't bear... no, she couldn't bear to erase this newly appointed elder.

This was a loss for the Order of the Temple, but even more so for the order itself.

What angered her was that Dis clearly understood her mentality, and that's why he was so reckless.

Especially since Dis was an old man, but in her eyes, he was still a junior. Her true age was actually very old, and in their eyes, Lasma was more like a child.

Not respecting the Order of the Gods is not respecting the elderly!

Siti's eyes were filled with anger as she turned around and looked at Dis's back.

"The temple won't keep indulging you forever. According to the rules of order, there can be no dust."

Dis didn't even turn his head, he just raised his hand and waved.

"Two days left."

Realizing that midnight had passed, Dis corrected himself.

"One day left."

Gail spoke up.

"This is the day you gave us, and it's our deadline. We can continue to wait until Sunday."

Dis replied.

"In the afternoon."

Because in the morning, he needed to lead the believers in the church to worship.

Three beams of light rose into the sky and disappeared.

"Siti, did you see that? He's not breaking through, he's actually familiar with this field. He's just deliberately stepping into it with one foot. He's the most outstanding genius in the temple for nearly a thousand years."

"You don't have to mention that every time. We have eyes to see for ourselves, and we don't think you didn't choose to punish him when he spoke so disrespectfully in front of you because you had foresight."

Because the more of a genius he was, the greater the trouble the temple would face when he chose to cause trouble.

"I'm starting to look forward to the negotiations that day. Perhaps his choice will be different from what the divination showed. If he insists on choosing to rebel, he should have responded with those four at the same time. Maybe tonight, he just wants to drive away those lurking in the dark corners and put an end to their scheming. He might actually want to have a negotiation."

...

Karun had a dream;

At first, he was very cold, so cold that it was bone-chilling, and it felt like his soul had frozen, but soon, two warm streams came over and not only dispelled his chill, but also brought warmth and tenderness.He fell asleep, or at least he thought he did.

He had a dream, and from the moment he entered it, he knew it was a dream.

In this dream, he was lying on a grassy field, with sunshine, blue skies, and white clouds all around him. Everything was beautiful.

On either side of him lay a man and a woman.

The man was very handsome.

Karun thought he looked a bit like Dis, and also a bit like himself.

Then Karun laughed.

Because he had figured out who the man was, and the idea that he looked a bit like himself was quite funny.

The man seemed to sense Karun's amusement, turned his head to look at him, and smiled.

His eyes were clear and gave off a kind and honest feeling.

The men of the Inmoleis family were all good-looking.

Karun turned his head to look at the woman lying on the other side. She was already propping her head up with her hand and looking at him.

She was very beautiful, in a straightforward way, especially her blonde hair, which looked similar to his.

This was a dream.

It had to be a dream.

Karun sighed and said, "I really want to try, but I just can't bring myself to call you 'dad' and 'mom.' I'm sorry I've taken over your son's body, his name, his identity, and even his family."

When facing Mason, Mary, and Winnie, Karun didn't feel any psychological burden. Normal communication and interaction were all that was needed.

But when facing these two, Karun couldn't suppress his guilt.

Because this body of his belonged to their son.

"You don't have to call me father," the man said. "I don't see you as my son."

The woman spoke up, "I tried, but I failed. You're not my son."

Karun rested his hands behind his head, trying to adjust to a more comfortable position.

"Okay," he said.

Actually, all three of them were lying in very comfortable and casual positions.

"In my eyes, you look a lot like Mason and Winnie," the man said. "Like my younger brother."

The woman added, "Although I can't see you as my son, I'm glad to see my 'son' continue to live on."

Karun began to analyze the deeper meaning behind their words, trying to figure out what they were really thinking.

Although this dream might just be a projection of his inner world, it was his professional habit, and it was the only thing he could do at this moment.Because he couldn't get up, Karun held the hands of "father" and "mother" and shouted like a real son:

"Dad, Mom, can we fly kites together like we used to when we were young?"

The man's surname was Inmoleis, so he regarded himself as a family member.

Although a woman may take her husband's surname, her feelings towards the Inmoleis family are definitely not as strong as her husband's. Her mentality is like that of a parent who donates their child's organs, and she may also have a comforting feeling that even though they have left, their children still "shine" in this world.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

However, for the woman, she has donated her son from head to toe, and then the recipient who inherited her son's organs appeared in front of her in a complete image.

The three of them stopped talking and just lay there.

Blowing in the wind,

Basking in the sun,

Listening to the sound of the distant stream flowing.

Until,

The wind gradually stopped, the sun gradually dimmed, and the water began to slow down.

Karun spoke up: "What can I do for you two?"

This was a sincere question, without any pretense or courtesy. Both emotionally and logically, Karun owed them.

The man replied, "Just live well."

The woman added, "Try to live a little happier."

As soon as the words fell,

The dream began to shatter,

Karun opened his eyes and found himself sleeping in a chair in Dis's study. The candlestick in front of him had already been extinguished.

He instinctively put his hand on his chest, where there was a scar. The old wound had long since healed, and he found no black hole after touching it.

Then Karun stood up, feeling sore in his joints and very thirsty.

He first picked up the hot water bottle next to the desk and found it empty. Then he opened Dis's teacup, which only had tea residue.

Karun had no choice but to push open the study door and walk out.

Puerh was squatting on the windowsill, not moving when Karun came out, because its gaze had been fixed on the courtyard gate.

Dis came back, holding the stupid golden retriever.

"Phew... Dis is back safely."

Puerh breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone that had been hanging in its heart...only dropped halfway and was suddenly stuck in its throat.

It immediately stood up,

Lowered its head,

And stared at the golden retriever that Dis had brought back with its cat eyes.

Karun saw Puerh's body suddenly tense on the windowsill, and even its fur seemed to stand up.

"What's wrong with that stupid dog?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Karun instinctively reached out to touch Puerh's head.Puerh, who was in an emotionally excited state, raised her paw and swiped at Karun.

"Hiss..."

Karun's hand was left with three cat scratch marks.

"Oh my god, oh my god!"

Puerh screamed, "I'm sorry, my dear Karun. I didn't mean it. I was just distracted."

Puerh immediately approached and licked the wounds on Karun's hand with her tongue, deliberately wagging her tail and patting Karun's arm gently.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. A lick and it won't hurt anymore. My poor little Karun, the kitty loves you."

Karun wasn't angry about the small scratches on his hand caused by Puerh, but rather puzzled by her unusual behavior.

"What's wrong with you today?"

"What's wrong? My dear little Karun."

"You're acting strange today."

"Where am I acting strange? Haven't I always been like this? Don't worry, you'll get used to it. I'm a gentle cat with a hundred years of aristocratic upbringing. You'll find that I'm even more gentle in the future. Trust me."

Karun withdrew his hand and said, "I'm going downstairs to get a glass of water."

"No need, no need. I'll go wake up Lunte and have him come out and pour you some water."

Just then, Dis walked up the stairs with the golden retriever in his hand. Karun saw his grandfather and the dog.

"Grandpa, did you go for a walk with the dog early in the morning?"

"Yeah," Dis replied and walked up to Karun, handing him the leash. "Take over."

Karun reached out and took the leash.

The golden retriever immediately leaned against Karun's leg and rubbed its head against his pants.

Puerh next to them had a serious expression on her cat face.

Dis pointed to the golden retriever and said, "Take this golden retriever to Wien. Although it's not very useful."
