I'm Done Being a God

A heroine who grows stronger, stays clear-headed, is at the pinnacle of combat prowess, and is doted on by everyone

(For the central contentious idea, see Chapter 82)

She is the deity who governs punishment in the mortal world.

She possesses supreme divine power.

When her subordinates collectively defect, she begins to question the rules of the world.

With her divinity on the verge of being weakened,

she resolutely sets out for the mortal realm,

entering the game herself to seek an answer she cannot see.

The mortal world has its own order.

Good and evil are always repaid in the end.

That repayment comes in the Yellow Springs after death, not in the mortal world during one’s lifetime.

When people die, they become ghosts and are guided to the Yellow Springs to face judgment.

Heaven and earth keep their own record of every person’s deeds and misdeeds.

After the gods pass judgment, the virtuous receive a luck-boosting buff before being sent to a good reincarnation.

Those with misdeeds are punished, and only after serving their sentences can they be sent to an ordinary or unfortunate reincarnation.

Lu Shou fell silent.

After a long while, she continued. “I don’t think this is right.”

“Does settling things only after death mean anything to the victims?”

“Their consciousness will remain trapped in the moment they were wronged.”

“What erases injustice isn’t a just punishment. It’s the forced erasure and resetting of their memories.”

“Do you think that’s right?”
