Jiang Chen asked, "Have you ever seen Qianren Xue?"
Lin Yangze shook his head. "I haven't. Masters like her are very mysterious. Besides, don't you know I'm blind?"
Uh... How did I forget that? He's blind; he can't see at all.
"Why do you ask?" Lin Yangze inquired.
"Just asking. Is she pretty?"
"Judging by her age, she'd be several decades old by now. You have quite an appetite."
Jiang Chen laughed. "I know you're jealous of me."
"Being blind has its advantages."
"What advantages?"
"Not being charmed by beauty. If you encounter members of the Qianren Association, and they are beautiful women, would you go easy on them?"
"I won't abandon my principles just because someone is beautiful. If they want to kill me, I will strike back mercilessly, giving them no chance."
"I feel relieved hearing you say that."
Just then, Jiang Chen received a message from Arlene.
Arlene: Samantha is looking for you.
Jiang Chen looked puzzled. Samantha? She's a Prosecutor. What does she want with me?
Jiang Chen: Is something the matter?
Arlene: Yes, she wants you to join the Prosecutors.
Jiang Chen: Join the Prosecutors? I have no intention of doing so.
Arlene: Do you know what being a Prosecutor means? It means power. If you are a Prosecutor, you can disregard even the Sons of Gods.
Jiang Chen naturally knew what being a Prosecutor entailed. However, joining them meant undergoing monthly inspections. He had killed Eleanor and even disposed of Harkins. If such secrets were discovered, wouldn't that be disastrous?
Jiang Chen: Tell Samantha I won't join.
Jiang Chen maintained his refusal; he didn't want his secrets exposed.
Arlene: Alright, I'll pass on the message.
Lin Yangze asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Someone wanted me to become a Prosecutor. I declined."
"What kind of position is that?"
"It grants immunity to any harm from beings below the Demigod level. The position holds great power, but it's also subject to monthly supervision and even inspections, which isn't good for me."
"That makes sense. You killed a Goddess from the Continent of All-Gods. If that were known, nothing good would come of it. It's more comfortable being a Wanderer; no need to worry about such troublesome matters."
Jiang Chen asked, "Do Wanderers have their own independent world?"
"Not an independent world, but a Different World. It's a place abandoned by the Evil God Continent and the Continent of All-Gods. Many people live there."
"Everyone inside is a Wanderer. It's a brutal place where food is scarce; not even a blade of grass grows. Many who emerge from there have few choices: they can join other major factions, seek refuge in the Continent of All-Gods, or ally with the Evil God Camp."
Jiang Chen looked puzzled. "Then aren't they at risk of starving to death?"
Lin Yangze nodded. "You're right. Many do starve to death. A lot of Wanderers go to the Continent of All-Gods to trade for goods, bringing back whatever they can to that desolate world."
Jiang Chen contemplated. So that's how it is. Were Aggie and the others the same? Earning money from the Continent of All-Gods and then sending it back home? Like migrant workers?
Lin Yangze continued, "That's why the Five Alliances lead Wanderers out, searching for a place to settle, somewhere that can provide food long-term. That place is called the Land of Evil."
"I'd like to see it."
Lin Yangze remained silent for a good while before saying, "There's nothing good to see. That would be misplaced compassion. If you want to help, there's no need; they don't require charity."
"This isn't charity."
"To them, it is. You're a Hero; they're Wanderers."
"Alright, I can't win an argument against you. I think I should head back."
Lin Yangze nodded.
Jiang Chen turned and left, returning to the Xileruo World. As soon as he got back to the villa, he saw Samantha sitting on the couch. Angelina smiled and said, "You're back?"
"Yeah."
"You have a guest and didn't even tell me," Jiang Chen said to Angelina.
Samantha stood up. "Shall we talk?"
"Sure."
They sat facing each other while Angelina brewed two cups of tea. Jiang Chen suspected he knew why Samantha was visiting—it was about the Prosecutor position.
But Jiang Chen had already refused.
Jiang Chen spoke first, "If this is about me becoming a Prosecutor, then there's nothing to discuss."
"A Prosecutor wields great power."
"I know, but I don't want anyone prying into my memories. Everyone has secrets, and I don't fancy having mine completely exposed."
"As long as you don't do anything to betray the Continent of All-Gods, you'll be fine, won't you?"
Jiang Chen just smiled and didn't reply.
What a joke. The problem is, I've already done those things—I killed a Goddess and a Son of God.
Samantha continued, "You're currently targeted by The Fallen, making you an easy assassination target. Once you become a Prosecutor, you can avoid such situations. Even The Fallen are very wary of a Prosecutor's status."
"You should know about the Fallen Union and its Five Alliances: the Loyal Justice Association, the Floating Association, the Taiyi Association, the Heavenly Earth Association, and the Qianren Association. These Alliances are teeming with experts."
"Why do you think we're still alive? Why is Jiares still alive? Why doesn't even Li Mu dare to act rashly against us? It's because they're wary of our status."
Jiang Chen pondered. A Prosecutor is like an imperial envoy. If someone killed an imperial envoy, wouldn't the emperor be enraged?
"As a Prosecutor, your Level is upgraded quickly. Not only that, but it's also easier to ascend to Demigod. The position enables you to advance rapidly in a short period."
Jiang Chen still shook his head, refusing. There was simply no need.
Seeing Jiang Chen's adamant refusal, Samantha saw no point in staying longer. She said her goodbyes and left.
Angelina said, "Why did you refuse? I think it's a good opportunity."
"Good, my ass. Even if I'm not a Prosecutor, I can still become a God."
"Yes, I believe you."
Jiang Chen smiled. "I'll be counting on you in the future. Don't forget, you're a reincarnated God."
Angelina tilted her head. "But I don't feel anything! I have no memories of it."
"That's because you haven't recovered them yet. Once you do, you'll be a God. So, why don't we try having a few sons first?"
"Okay!"
She agreed that quickly? Is she trying to tie me down with sons? I can barely protect myself as it is. We can talk about this after I become the Sword God.
Angelina snuggled into Jiang Chen's arms. "Why don't we try now?"
Jiang Chen looked at the sky. It's broad daylight.
「Night fell.」
Jiang Chen entered the Dream Realm, and Daphne appeared.
Again, it was a scene of sunshine, beaches, the sea, and a gentle breeze...
Jiang Chen asked, "When will Angelina regain her memories as a God?"
Daphne lay back in her chair, legs crossed. "I'm not very sure. Gods have reincarnated before, many years ago, but such instances were always kept hidden. However, I heard something interesting."
"What information?"
"If a reincarnated being awakens their memories, are they still Angelina, or are they the God?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen pondered. If she awakens her memories, would she still be Angelina? He, a transmigrator, understood this point very well. He possessed memories from two lives and occupied this current body. Was he still the 'Jiang Chen' from his previous life, or the one from this life? Was he truly just a transmigrator?
