Chapter 33: The Day God Died
A young girl sat upright in a wooden chair, her long legs clad in tight denim jeans, slender and fair complexion, with a delicate and refined face so pale it seemed to glow. Her waist-length hair, smooth and sleek, was tied in a high ponytail that gently swayed with her movements.
Placing her right hand over her ample bosom, she introduced herself with a smile: "My name is Yuqing Wu."
"The 'Yu' from 'immature' and the 'Qing' from 'clear skies'."
Xue Jing also introduced himself: "Xue Jing—'Xue' as in snow, and 'Jing' as in scenery."
"Hmm... Firstly, then, how did you come across the concept of 'God's leftover items'?" Yuqing asked curiously.
"I'm sorry, but I can't disclose that," Xue Jing replied, shaking his head.
Cat was likely still being pursued by the Konrad Security Company, so he couldn't afford to reveal any information about her.
"I can only tell you that I have indeed come into contact with God's leftover items. If possible, I hope you can provide me with information about them," Xue Jing said cautiously.
"Of course," Yuqing said, "if you're not willing to share, that's fine. It's my problem for not being able to provide information first." She didn't show any displeasure at Xue Jing's vague response and instead gently squeezed her chin, tilting her head to the side. "So, the 'God's leftover item' you encountered, was it an oddity or a biological type?"
"There are biological types of God's leftover items?" Xue Jing asked in surprise.
His reaction indirectly answered Yuqing's question, and she nodded, "I see, so you encountered an oddity."
After speaking, the girl paused for a moment, stood up, and walked over to the resting area by the wall. She squatted down and pulled out a very inconspicuous wooden handle from the wall, revealing a hidden compartment.
Unexpectedly, there was a secret cabinet built into the wall.
As the squatting girl's posture accentuated the curves of her hips, they stood out prominently against her slender waist, and Xue Jing couldn't help but steal a few glances.
Tight denim jeans were indeed a great invention.
Xue Jing had expected Yuqing to retrieve some sort of confidential documents from such a well-hidden place, but instead, she took out a set of tea utensils and a transparent water pitcher, placing them on the wooden table.
"Do you prefer tea or coffee?" Yuqing asked as she wiped the tea set with a cloth.
"Only those two options?" Xue Jing's gaze shifted towards the hidden compartment.
"There's also this," the girl said as she turned around and took out a 330ml modern can of Coca-Cola from the compartment.
Although this world had followed a different historical trajectory from that of his previous life on Earth, the things that were meant to appear still did.
Xue Jing reached out to take the can, but Yuqing didn't let go. Instead, she took a blue-patterned, gold-trimmed ceramic cup from the tea tray, popped open the can, and poured the dark carbonated liquid into the delicate cup. She then used two fingers to push the cup towards Xue Jing, resembling a bartender mixing a cocktail.
Xue Jing's lips twitched, "Sophisticated."
The girl didn't respond but instead picked up a packet of tea leaves of an unknown brand, tore it open, and emptied its contents into the teapot. She then picked up the transparent pitcher and began pouring hot water into it—the water was already heated, and steam rose steadily as it came into contact with the air.
As Yuqing proceeded with the tea preparation, she began to speak, "Two hundred and eighty-seven years ago, 'God' died."
"Or, to be more precise, a 'divine being' perished."
Xue Jing listened quietly.
The death of God was the most significant event in the history of this world, and even after so much time had passed, it remained a popular topic of discussion.
However, it was impossible to confirm if the deceased 'God' was indeed the omnipotent Lord from the Christian Bible. Therefore, the officially recognized term for the event was the 'Death of a Divine Being'.
Chapter: God's Legacy
"The 'God' of this world has no name; it is merely a concept of a 'God' in the human cognitive realm, and any other names are human projections onto its being.
You may refer to it as 'God', 'Allah', 'Brahman', or even 'Yuanshi Tianzun' if you wish.
The term 'God' is commonly used because the concept of the Christian God is deeply rooted and relatively aligns with the definition of 'God'.
287 years ago, 'God' appeared in the physical world for the first time, and the last."
According to historical records, on that day, all humans on Earthstar witnessed... or rather, observed in an unknown way, a gigantic glowing humanoid figure holding Earthstar in its hands. After emitting a loud and heartbreaking wail, it disintegrated into countless specks of light.
At that moment, the words 'God is dead' were imprinted like a steel stamp into the consciousness of every human.
Also, from that day on, 'inter-dimensional phenomena' would occasionally occur on this planet, and through the steps of 'dimensional quakes', 'weak overlaps', and 'strong overlaps', various 'overlap zones' were born.
The emergence of overlap zones brought countless opportunities and crises to humanity.
The current administrative division of the Nine Metropolitan Areas of the Zhuxia is a historical legacy of a past overlap zone crisis.
"What most people don't know is that 'God' left something behind when it died."
Yuqing Wu stirred the liquid in her teacup with a small spoon as she began to tell the story of the divine relics.
"The specks of light that 'God' turned into when it died... let's call them 'God's Blood' for now."
"These 'God's Blood' scattered across the world, taking residence in all sorts of things."
"It could be items, organisms, or even a fragment of human imagination..."
"These things, transformed by the presence of God's Blood, are what we call—God's Leftover Items."
Xue Jing was listening intently when Yuqing pushed the cup of tea she had just brewed towards him.
"Try it."
Xue Jing took the cup absentmindedly, lifted it to his lips, and took a sip.
Then, he immediately furrowed his brows, looking at the tea in the cup.
The reddish-brown liquid appeared to be obvious black tea, and the aroma that filled his nose was that of bitter black tea.
But the taste that filled his mouth was a strange sweetness.
"What is this?"
"Take a guess," Yuqing said, her eyes narrowing playfully, as if taking pleasure in his confusion.
Xue Jing blurted out, "Don't tell me it's 'Yuqing Tea'..."
As soon as he said it, he realized his words might be inappropriate, but he thought that a beautiful girl like Yuqing probably wouldn't be familiar with such things, so she wouldn't understand the implication of his words...
Before he could finish his internal justification, he saw a flush rise on Yuqing's cheeks as she looked at him strangely, as if thinking: Who knew you were like this, Xue Jing...
Xue Jing coughed lightly, "Stop playing games, sister."
Yuqing gave him a sideways glance and held up the transparent pitcher with one hand while supporting its bottom with the other. "Serial number GOD-1567: Sweet Water Pitcher."
A God's Leftover Item?!
A God's Leftover Item!
Divine substance, right before my eyes!
