The Girls Are All Coveting Me

Aisha really wanted to burst into tears.

Why does everyone know him longer than she does?

"Are there... are there more?"

"There's also Lilith."

"The president of the Fantasy Association?!"

"Yeah, and she joined the Extreme Association too, didn't she?"

"Ugh, I mean, why would someone with such a special status join your new association, turns out she's another of your sweethearts."

"Ahem... she's not exactly a sweetheart."

"So this time it's someone you knew 13,000 years ago?"

"Oh, not Lilith. Strictly speaking, my relationship with Lilith started even after you."

Aisha let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, finally...

"But we met 7,100 years ago."

"..."

"I'm not lying to you, but back then, our relationship only extended to knowing each other existed."

"I-I believe you."

After all, Chloe had already been honest, so it wasn't likely he'd exaggerate on this matter.

It's okay.

Don't be nervous.

Aisha, not all of your rivals are that terrifying.

"And... and who else?"

"Annie..."

"Who's this Annie?"

"Shh, it's unspeakable."

"... Unspeakable? So that means..."

"Yes, just as you think, Annie is the true name of a deity you know of."

"I guess you knew her 7,100 years ago?"

"Oh? Aisha, you're really smart."

"Is she that powerful too?"

"Lilith is also a deity you know. Back then she got beaten by Annie."

To be exact, she got thoroughly thrashed.

When Annie gets mad, she's really scary.

Even Chloe doesn't dare to provoke her, otherwise, he might not be able to get out of bed for a month.

——Because he'd be drained dry!

At this point, Aisha was already wobbling.

What should I do if my lover's lovers are so capable?

Seems like I can't beat them?

Should I just join the Abyss and come back later for revenge?

"It's all my fault!"

Immediately activated the apology mode.

Aisha was tightly hugged in his arms, gently kissed away the tears at the corner of her eyes:

"I didn't expect my relationships to get so complicated either."

"S-so I'm the youngest after all?"

"Don't cry, don't cry, if it's really unbearable, just slap me."

"No, you know I can't bear to hit you."

Chloe mused that Aisha had just kicked him once.

Though with the strength of that kick, it wasn't even enough for a massage.

But in such a moment, even if the king of heaven came, he'd just say one thing:

"Because Aisha, you're too kind."

Aisha sobbed quietly for a while, then quickly shifted her thoughts.

"So in the end, am I still the youngest?"

Chloe thought since he had already laid his cards on the table, he didn't mind saying a bit more.

So he said:

"Timeline-wise, you're still after them."

"... Should I laugh or cry?"

"You know her."

"Who is it?"

"Senior Miseria."

"...Not someone you knew 13,000 or 7,000 years ago?"

"No."

"Even the relationship started after me?"

"Yes."

"But Senior Miseria is also older than me."

Chloe instinctively looked towards Aisha's front, then said seriously:

"Don't worry, you two are the same age!"

Aisha gave him a punch and said: "I'm talking about age!"

"Haha, so you're tangled about that, shouldn't you be more worried that you're in danger now?"

Chloe quietly changed the topic.

He vaguely remembered he used to be a decent person.

What happened to make him become like this?

Understood!

It must be Rephya's influence!

When Rephya was still Jian, she took away the Seven Deadly Sins' [Lust].

Though after her death, [Lust] passed to someone else, but it must have crossed 13,000 years, and the lonely soul of Lust entered Xiaolu's body, then infected him!

If the Uniqueness of Lust could speak, it would certainly point at Chloe.

Clearly, it's his own lecherousness, and he's even starting to bully the [True God Uniqueness].

"Wait a minute."

Aisha suddenly noticed a point.

"Didn't you say your current situation is very dangerous? Having a relationship with you easily leads to problems."

"Yes."

"As for the others, I won't mention them for now. I've either known them for 13,000 years or more than 7,000 years, meaning they're all top-tier powerhouses capable of reincarnation, right?"

"Correct. Among a group of monsters and freaks, you're the only legitimate modern person."

"... Let me think this through. I remember many myths about deities that involve reincarnation."

"Strictly speaking, that's not reincarnation. It's more like usurpation."

"Hmm?"

"The network that the King of Redemption promoted, you've used it a lot in your daily life, haven't you?"

"Yes, so what?"

"This touches on the issue of information. In a broader sense, reincarnation means a person moves on to the next life, right?"

"Correct."

"But the myths of the Death God clearly state that once a person enters the Nether River, they never return, right?"

"Right."

"If you simply consider a person's constituents as 0s and 1s, then the current you is code composed of unique elements.

A soul that's been washed by the Nether River, whether flowing into the Death God's Divine Kingdom or entering the Bottomless Abyss and becoming a demon, is essentially a rearrangement and reorganization of your code.

Your past life and present have no connection. In this case, do you think the person after reincarnation is still you?"

Aisha understood: "It certainly isn't. Oh, I get it. No wonder stories of eternal life are widespread in all myths."

"Yes, what they call eternal life essentially means entering the Divine Kingdom before being baptized by the Nether River.

This way, the detained soul continues living in the Divine Kingdom.

So, strictly speaking, when deities place such souls into the mortal realm, it's not called reincarnation."

In this world where the Six Paths of Reincarnation don't exist, worshiping deities approaches reincarnation in the strictest sense.

But then again...

If the soul is still alive, how can it be called reincarnation?

Such a powerful soul, upon occupying a newborn's body, is bound to crush the original soul.

It's not an exaggeration to call it murder.

Most True Gods are unwilling to use this method unless dealing with a Devout Believer willing to offer their body for an Angel's descent.

Of course.

There's a simpler method.

Put the soul into a body that is confirmed to be dead.

This way, there's no need to worry about information contamination.

So, strictly speaking, the only form of reincarnation truly existing in the Stars Continent is one.

And that's the Pantheon of the God of Glory and Justice, managed by Kai.

Created from a part of the World Tree as the main material, the God of Glory and Justice was born from the faith of the Seven Heroes and is one of the top deities of The Stars.

But in fact, its power comes from the Seven Heroes.

Its essence is a vessel allowing the Seven Heroes to reincarnate with their information.

This vessel has carried the power of the Seven Heroes for so long.

So long that it can continuously borrow part of the power from the Seven Heroes.

Of course.

These secrets, Chloe could only ponder internally.

In fact, among the Seven Heroes, only he, Stuart, and Kai knew the true form of the Lord of Glory.

The three of them were the ones capable of independently containing information without leaking it, and others couldn't guarantee it with absolute certainty.

"So why did you drag Miseria into this?" Aisha asked. "You did mention she might die if caught up in this... Based on the timeline, she shouldn't be a victim of your situation, right?"

Chloe nodded and said, "She's indeed not. She could've originally avoided it."

"Then why..."

"Aisha, feeling jealous!"

"... I'm not."

Chloe smiled and said, "We've been married for so many years. Don't I know you?"

You mean to say, since you're not afraid of Misera facing risks, why haven't you told me the truth for so long, right?"

Aisha snorted softly and said, "Maybe, I don't know."

"Actually, her situation is the same as yours."

"Hmm?"

"When I got together with you, I didn't know we'd later cause such a big mess, and Miseria's situation is similar to yours."

"But you clearly said she's later on..."

"She was targeted not because of me," Chloe said helplessly, "but because of Lilith."

Indeed.

Strictly speaking, Miseria is the true number one unfortunate soul.

Over the years, no one has truly been connected with Lilith.

In the past, when she still couldn't comprehend the concept of 'friends', Lilith could not understand friendships.

Yet, without any warning, Lilith became the first friend of Miseria...

The time when they established this relationship was even before he awakened memories of his past life.

Did Lilith really not notice the changes in her friend's body?

Aisha laughed and cried:

"So you're saying she's like a flea that doesn't fear itch?"

"Yes."

"Forget it, I can't understand your chaotic relationships."

"In any case, since Lilith doesn't have additional means to protect Miseria, it falls to me to guard both you and Miseria."

"Hmm?"

"Aisha, grow quickly. I need you to become my Subordinate God."

Aisha opened her mouth in shock.

Subordinate God?

Is it the Subordinate God that she understood it to be?

"No need to doubt, it is what you think. Of course, strictly speaking, it's not exactly a Subordinate God, but for you, that term is easier to understand."

Above the Demigods, one officially steps into the Divine Realm.

Yet, in the Divine Realm, there are more than just gods.

Strictly speaking, it's just that more people are aware of the divisions of divine power levels.

Elemental Monarchs, Demon Armies, Star Realm Lords... All possess this level of power, but it's not usually understood as divine power.

Chloe is the same.

Realizing that the situation was so serious that she had to ascend to godhood for Chloe to protect her, Aisha didn't know what to say.

But she still reached out and embraced Chloe.

Chloe whispered, "Sorry, in the end, I involved you in this chaotic situation."

However, Aisha spoke:

"You know, I don't actually hate the Bright Moon, what I hate is that the Bright Moon hangs high, yet doesn't shine on me."
