What Evil Thoughts Could a God Have?

A thousand years ago, the Emperor of the Divine Realm flew into a rage, stripped the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon King of his position as Water God, and ordered him to wear a Soulbinding Lock. He was sent to the Infinite Purgatory to serve a thousand-year sentence. After his sentence, he was demoted to the mortal realm to help its people. He would not be allowed to return to the Divine Realm until he had earned enough merit.

A thousand years later, instead of the heavenly soldiers coming to release him, the Infinite Purgatory collapsed. Rong Di had served his sentence and walked out on his own. Seeing the bizarre buildings outside, his mind practically shattered.

And what was this nonsense about the apocalypse coming, according to the mortals?

Rong Di rubbed his chin and thought: Now that all three realms have collapsed and the mortal world is facing the apocalypse, with the divine lords, immortal lords, and earthly lords all gone, surely he wouldn't have to do any charitable missions, right?!

Rong Di was celebrating too soon. The next second, the Soulbinding Lock around his neck tightened and choked him.

Soulbinding Lock: Please help the mortal before you, who is trapped by a mutated plant, and earn merit.

Rong Di: ...The Divine Realm is gone. What the hell am I supposed to do with this mission?

Soulbinding Lock: Please help the mortal before you, who is frozen solid, and earn merit.

Rong Di: ...Are you some kind of saint or what?!

Feeling the grip around his neck tighten, Rong Di had no way to deal with the Soulbinding Lock and could only accept reality.

Rong Di: ...I'll help!
