Bai YueSheng really wished he could forget this young master!

Unfortunately he had eidetic memory. No matter how long something had occurred he could remember it clearly, not to mention these events happened in the not too long ago eighth world.

That world was a world of a race of gods. There were nine main Lord Gods which supported the world. They would change with the generations, continuing to prosper.

Bai YueSheng’s mission in the world was to “bring on the twilight of the Gods”. The meaning approximately was to destroy Midgard, make all nine Lord Gods go to sleep, and open a new age, awakening the new Lord Gods and taking the world into a new cycle.

{T/N: Extremely shaky translation of the world building in this part. Sooooo… what I think is happening is there is a plane where a race of “gods” live, they’re a supernatural race kind of like the Asgardians. The main powerful “Lord Gods” are the ones who are worshipped (think Thor, Odin, Loki etc.) whereas the rest of the “gods” just live in the godly plane like regular people. I translated the world as “Midgard”, the Chinese is written 中庭 which literally means “middle courtyard” lol, but I googled it and it’s been used in translations for Midgard which I think fits the theme. However unlike in Thor, this word seems to be used to describe the godly plane rather than the human plane which doesn’t exactly make sense so….
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just try go to with haha. If anyone has a better explanation please let me know.}

This meant that a war was inevitable, however Bai YueSheng’s identity in the world was of the water god Xin Lin. He had a personality that was kind and compassionate, he loved peace and would never start a fight.

As one of the nine Lord Gods, naturally each had their own set roles and tasks in life. So Bai YueSheng couldn’t randomly create problems, otherwise he would have his god status removed and killed.

If he died then the mission would fail. So Bai YueSheng had no choice but to pretend to be like the Goddess of Mercy GuanYin, every time he opened his mouth he had to talk about peace, compassion and helping others. Even the Virgin Mary would have paled in comparison!

This kind of godfather-level white lotus, how the hell was he supposed to start a war?

It really was a big problem.

Luckily there was nothing that was completely impossible. When the tenth Lord God appeared it plunged Midgard into not before seen chaos.

In Midgard, the status of the gods was predetermined. The Nine Lord Gods were specifically chosen. Although when they “slept” it was a form of death and rebirth, but regardless of this there couldn’t just suddenly be an addition of another Lord God!

But that newborn child definitely had the mark of “awakening”. Although right now it was only a toddler, but when it grew up it was destined to become a Lord God. But as for what type of god, nobody knew.

Since their existence, none of the nine Lord Gods had ever heard of a new Lord God.

So regarding the identity of the child, the nine gods were embroiled in an argument that couldn’t be resolved.

One side felt that the child was a new god, a Sun God that would lead Midgard into a new age of greater heights, whereas others thought he was the God of Destruction. After awakening he would bring forth the Twilight of the Gods, causing all Nine Gods to fall into darkness.

It should be obvious by now that that child was Lance Steen.

Actually at that time Bai YueSheng couldn’t have cared less if the child was the Sun God or the God of Destruction. His main concern was that because of his child’s existence, the nine Lord Gods had begun to split and fight with each other. Right now it was only slapping the table and arguing but if the problems continued, starting a real war was not an impossibility.
