The Goddess Only Wants to Slay Gods

[Gentle, Resilient Goddess x Scheming, Loyal-Dog Emperor / Deity x Devotee]

Lin Yu x Fu Ming

Lin Yu lived an ordinary life for twenty years. All that time, people throughout the land firmly believed in the gods, but Lin Yu scoffed at the idea.

She never believed in gods.

Not until the winter of the nineteenth year of the Yu era.

With the Moon God Festival approaching, the powerful held a human sacrifice. Lin Yu's family was destroyed, and she was made a sacrificial offering, locked in a cage to await the ritual.

Her fate should have been death, but Lin Yu didn't believe in fate.

So, on the eve of the Moon God Festival, she killed everyone in her way and escaped.

The gods ruled supreme, and human sacrifices were commonplace. The rich and powerful wielded absolute influence, while the common people suffered. The world had descended into misery.

Looking at the blood-red sky, Lin Yu saw clearly that this world had to end.

She would kill every last one of them herself.

Not long afterward, a new goddess arrived at the Fengtian Tower.

In public, she was weak and helpless, compassionate toward all, and devoted to the gods.

In private, she was decisive and merciless. If a god stood in her way, she'd kill that god, without ever showing mercy.

She didn't believe in the gods. She destroyed sacred artifacts, burned temples, killed ghosts, slew gods, and feared nothing.

To her, ascending to immortality was nothing special.

Knocking those false, sanctimonious gods off their pedestals one by one was far more satisfying.

Until her crimes came to light. The gods' followers piled up evidence against Lin Yu, and the Four Realms erupted in an uproar. The gods were furious, and the people were outraged.

Lin Yu's blasphemy was so outrageous that the court officials all believed it would surely anger the volatile tyrant.

But... Fu Ming became Lin Yu's devotee and began building temples for her on a grand scale, helping her ascend to godhood as soon as possible.

Everyone thought Fu Ming had gone mad too.

In front of his desk, Fu Ming slowly wiped the fresh blood from his blade. His eyes swept over the sorcerers kneeling before him, trembling all over.

He smiled with a wickedly alluring air. "Who was it that just said the goddess was unworthy of her position?"

*

When Fu Ming first met Lin Yu, she burst into the temple covered in blood and knelt before him, begging for a chance to live.

At the time, imperial power and divine authority held each other in check, and everyone in the land was superstitious about the gods. He needed someone to curb divine power.

The year Fu Ming was about to descend into demonic ways, as the entire dynasty began to fall apart, Lin Yu appeared.

Fu Ming couldn't describe what Lin Yu meant to him.

But he wanted her future to be bright and unhindered.

*

In the spring of the twenty-first year of the Yu era, the goddess ascended to the heavens and slew the gods.

She killed all the old gods and established a new order for the world.

*

In the incense-filled temple, Fu Ming knelt quietly before Lin Yu's statue. The lamplight was reflected in his eyes, his gaze devout and full of longing.

As the candles burned out, the statue took human form. Lin Yu finally appeared before Fu Ming, and a gentle rain began to fall outside the window.

Fu Ming chuckled. "Goddess, please lower your head for me."

As Lin Yu lowered her eyes to look at him, he placed a gentle kiss between her brows.
