Erii misunderstood.
Regardless, from that moment on, Erii had a place for Lu Mingfei in her heart. She trusted him unconditionally, ran away from home with him, slept in the same room with him, and went out to play with him everywhere... All of this started because she misunderstood one thing: she thought that Lu Mingfei's love and embrace at the bottom of the sea were for her.
Erii, deep in the ocean, wields her blade, ruthlessly killing all the Corpse Guardians within her domain, acting as a war machine. She knows she is a monster, knows that everyone in the world fears her, even the Corpse Guardians she is killing fear her.
But Lu Mingfei swam towards her against the blade without hesitation and hugged her tightly.
At that moment, Erii felt that someone liked her. She didn't know if it was love, but she could feel the happiness of being embraced.
No wonder Erii's embrace in the Shikoku town was so uneasy; she was trying to confirm whether she had received love.
At this point, the humpback whale had completely fallen into a deep sleep. Having lost too much blood and receiving no treatment, its chances of survival were slim.
He helped the humpback whale to sit on a luxurious leather sofa, then retrieved the sunglasses the whale always wore from the water and put them in front of its eyes.
Then he turned and ran toward the exit at the other end of the corridor. He had made up his mind to get to the Red Well.
He hadn't run more than a few steps when Mai called him back. She tossed him a Lamborghini car key and told him where the car was parked.
"Drive properly, you've already ruined two of my cars!" Mai Shude said irritably.
Looking at the familiar car keys, Lu Mingfei realized that he had always had someone helping him and that he wasn't fighting alone.
At this moment, he felt as if he had a thousand troops and was about to start a war of ten thousand!

Tokyo Meteorological Bureau.
At this moment, the Skywatcher near-Earth orbit satellite carrying the divine punishment has arrived over Tokyo and is expected to reach the Red Well in one minute and forty-five seconds.
EVA's voice slowly came through the speaker: "Nearby satellites are providing navigation. Data has been corrected. Due to severe atmospheric flow and near-zero visibility, the primary navigation method has been changed to spatial coordinate scanning. One minute countdown. All departments, please take note."
The people in the equipment department stopped acting crazy and became extremely serious. After all, they were slaying a dragon, and if the god wasn't killed, they would likely be the ones to die.
Therefore, these lunatics were very serious at this moment, and the equipment department had never seen the weapon "Heavenly Punishment" before. They were also very curious about whether this weapon was actually useful.
The vice principal took a sip of his drink and muttered to himself, "I wonder how things are at Hongjing. Is the god still around? If he's not, it would be bad if he damaged the flowers and plants."
"God should still be here," EVA said. "There are still thirty seconds left, and this should be over."
"Modern technology is really great. In the past, to slay a dragon, you had to ride a horse and travel over mountains and rivers to reach the dragon's nest, and in the end, the dragon would still escape," the vice principal said. "Now we can drink a little wine, sing a song, and watch the explosion at the Red Well. It's really cool."
“Countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7…” The EVA projection sat on the table, counting down in a cold, impersonal way.
The vice principal imagined how much damage the divine punishment would cause when it fell.
But just as the countdown was about to reach zero, EVA suddenly stood up: "Cancel the launch! Awakening launch canceled!"
The researchers in the equipment department were dumbfounded. Why was the launch canceled at the last minute?
You should know that a divine punishment takes ninety minutes to arrive.
The vice principal quickly asked what had happened.
Unreadable characters flashed in EVA's eyes: "I received orders from a higher level. Another dragon-slaying system has been activated and is on its way to the Red Well. The release of the Divine Wrath may affect the security of the other system, so the Divine Wrath must be interrupted."
"Another system?" The vice principal and the others were shocked.
*……*……*
Ten minutes ago.
Inside the Red Well, Herzog punches and kicks Genji because Genji killed a god!
But Herzog got tired after a while because he was already very old, his bloodline was average, or rather, he had no bloodline. He also didn't use evolution medicine, that kind of unsafe medicine, which greedy villains wouldn't use.
"Herzog, I overestimated you." Genji lay on the ground, hugging Genji's Stand. "I thought you were the cruelest human in the world, as cold and ruthless as a dragon, but in reality, you've always been just a cowardly little man!"
“Yes, I killed the Relic because it meant nothing to me!” he roared at Herzog, followed by a joyful, maniacal laugh.
Herzog looked at Genji, whom he had always manipulated. This person had always been his puppet, and in his view, a puppet was controllable. Therefore, he only had the shadow warrior present and did not appear himself.
But this very puppet actually killed a god!
That was his path to evolution, and it was cut off by a puppet!
Herzog was very unwilling and wanted to take revenge on Genjiro, but punching and kicking him was no longer enough to vent his anger. Suddenly, he discovered Genjiro's corpse on the ground and then he had an idea.
He dragged Genjiro's corpse out and onto the cutting table used to cut the Yamata no Orochi.
"What do you want to do?" Yuan Zhinu asked in terror.
“Don’t you like to laugh?” Herzog said menacingly. “Let me entertain you by dismembering your brother and seeing if you can still laugh then.”
As he spoke, Herzog began operating the cutting machine. Genji was severely injured and could only crawl over, seemingly wanting to beg for mercy.
Inside the surveillance vehicle, Genji was puzzled by what he saw. Logically, they should have gone out and executed Herzog at this point, so why hadn't Gu Ran made a move?
This is because Gu Ran still needs to resurrect the White King, and he needs the White King's Dragon Bone Cross.
But he couldn't explain these things to Genjiro, because in Genjiro's mind, resurrecting a god was a heinous crime, and it would be too troublesome to explain.
Moreover, Gu Ran wasn't the only one monitoring Hongjing at this time; Su Enxi's group was also there. However, Gu Ran had tampered with Su Enxi's monitoring system earlier, destroying most of her cameras and leaving only one main camera pointing at the stage. Furthermore, when she threw the body on the ground, she also caused her cameras to temporarily malfunction for a few minutes.
Therefore, Su Enxi probably has no idea that they are acting.
Inside the Red Well, Herzog had already used the laser cutter to cut the Stand, Genjiro, but the next second, a gust of wind suddenly appeared behind Herzog, and a huge wind blade mercilessly attacked, slicing past Herzog's ear. Then, this wind blade actually cut the huge cutter in half!
Wind Escape·Wind Blade!
Herzog was terrified. He dared not move, but slowly turned his head, afraid of disturbing what was behind him.
Shadow clones are aggregates of chakra, and their flesh and blood are simulated using chakra. Moreover, shadow clones are amazing; they can even mimic the remains of a charred corpse.
(For example, during the battle between Naruto and Sasuke and Kaguya Otsutsuki, Kaguya killed Naruto's shadow clone. After seeing the shadow clone turn to ashes, the ashes did not disappear. So Kaguya thought she had killed Naruto's real body. In fact, that lump of ashes was also a shadow clone.)
However, the shadow clone that Erii became was a little different. Gu Ran had hidden some things in this shadow clone. These things were the offerings to the god. Now that the god had completely received the offerings, it was about to awaken.
The next second, all the volcanoes in Japan began to erupt again, the most dramatic being Mount Fuji, where towering flames spewed out once more, and all the mountain paths were covered in lava.
Herzog stopped operating the cutting machine and immediately picked up a black clapper, starting to strike it frantically.
Erii's clone began to struggle to the sound of the clapper. This shadow clone was truly struggling because another energy within her was vying for control of her body. Therefore, the shadow clone had to concentrate on controlling itself and prevent it from dissipating.
A strange clapper sound entered Yuan Zhisheng's mind, and the peculiar melody made him somewhat lose control.
Sakura was at a loss and immediately hugged him.
"I almost forgot you haven't been healed yet." Gu Ran pressed Yuan Zhisheng down with one hand, making him lean against Ying, and pressed the back of his head with the other hand, using palm magic to heal his damaged pons.
To prevent any changes to his chess pieces, Herzog also performed a pontomy in Genji's head, but he has never activated the hypnosis over the years.
Genjiro's condition was better than Genjiro's because he had not been given gene-enhancing drugs or hallucinogens, so the treatment time did not need to be too long, and the Palm Healing Technique quickly repaired his damaged pons.
Yuan Zhisheng returned to normal and was no longer affected by the sound of the clapper.
"What's wrong with her? Is that stand-in going to be killed?" He opened his eyes and suddenly pointed at the monitor screen, looking at it in surprise.
Gu Ran turned around and saw Herzog holding the naked body double high in the air. At the same time, white threads appeared on the body double, wrapping her up and turning her into a thick cocoon.
“It’s emerged from its cocoon; God is about to awaken.” Gu Ran stood up at this moment.
"God is about to awaken?" Genji was somewhat bewildered. "Wasn't God killed by the maiden?"
"Things are too complicated, let Sakura explain them to you slowly." Gu Ran had already told Sakura about the plan and the reasons for doing so.
He wasn't going to continue watching the surveillance footage; he was going to the scene.
Chapter 510 Gu Ran's God-Making Plan
When Gu Ran walked over to Erii, he patted her head and said, "It's too late, let's go to sleep, okay?"
Erii wrote in her notebook: "Will I see cherry blossoms when I wake up?"
"It might take a few more days."
"Can I have my phone and toys back? Those are my and Sakura's things." Erii pointed to the box of toys on the monitor screen.
"Not tonight, but I'll clean it up and return it to you later, okay?" Gu Ran said apologetically. "If anything is missing, I'll make it up to you, or I can have Xiaoyinghua buy you a new one?"
Erii thought for a moment, then nodded and obediently lay down to rest on a bed in the car.
……
Inside the Red Well, Herzog is explaining his plan for becoming a god to Genji: using Erii as a vessel to collect her fetal blood from when she ascended to godhood.
Erii is the Holy Grail, or the vessel. Her body is filled with the purest divine blood, making her the best vessel for divine parasitism.
However, Erii inside the Red Well is just a shadow clone transformed using a transformation technique, so why was she parasitized by a god?
This is because Erii's blood is hidden inside the shadow clone.
Previously, Gu Ran performed a blood transfusion on Erii, preserving half of her blood.
He only used 20 milliliters of the blood on the artificial island; the rest was hidden in the stand-in.
In addition, Erii's substitute also contains the blood of Genji, but having this blood is not enough. The awakening of a god requires a large number of excellent offspring genes to complete the process, and originally, Erii alone would have been enough.
But Erii cannot die, so Gu Ran had to use something else to replace her.
These are the remains of the patriarchs of the Snake-Headed Eight Families throughout history.
This is what Gu Ran asked Yuan Zhisheng for before.
Although there is no fresh flesh and blood inside the skeleton, it still contains powerful genes, which are the food that the gods need to replenish.
DNA can be preserved in bones for a very long time. For example, the DNA of mammoths in the Siberian permafrost has been preserved for more than a million years.
In the shrine of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, there are many skeletons of 'Emperors' and the remains of some powerful 'Demons'.
Gu Ran had previously used his Byakugan to observe the shrine's cemetery and found the remains of people with dragon bones. Those who possessed dragon bones were extremely powerful hybrids in life. Even though they had died, their remains still preserved the genes of the gods, which could help the gods complete their lives.
Gu Ran used earth magic to hide underground, and collected about twenty corpses with dragon bones, which he then distributed throughout the Red Well, mistaking them for the bodies of priests.
Erii's substitute contains not only Erii's and Genji's blood, but also a woman's skeleton.
This skeleton is said to belong to a shadow emperor of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, who lived in the Heian period and used the alias Murasaki Shikibu.
She wrote a novel called "The Tale of Genji," which records many stories about the Minamoto family, who are rumored to be ancestors of Genji from countless generations ago.
Of course, Genjiro was not a member of the Genji family. According to bloodline, he should belong to the Uesugi family. The real Genji family may have really died out.
Gu Ran used the remains of the former Shadow Emperor, along with the blood of Erii and Genji, and successfully attracted the desperate Holy Remains.
The remains of these 'emperors' dug up from the graves of the Snake-Headed Eight Families are the greatest tonic for the gods!
