Liu Yingjiao confesses to Su Tu that she plans to destroy the Tri-Deity Cult, fulfilling a promise she made to him when they last met. She fulfills her promise by escorting Su Tu to face the cult's divine ritual, despite knowing that the protocol requires her to be killed by him. As Su Tu steps onto a bridge of flesh, he is pulled into a gate by a skeletal hand. The followers are left bewildered, but Chen Yuan rallies them, claiming Su Tu has gone to seek his parents as a precursor to the Three Gods' full descent, and urges them to burn their faith to summon their gods. Chen Yuan, however, reveals his true intention to devour the summoned faith. Meanwhile, Su Tu finds himself facing the Blood Mother and Bone Father, whom he identifies as the Three Gods. He vows to devour them.

A more sinister curve stretched across the young man's lips as he confessed, displaying a set of teeth as white as snow. Against the stark, blood-hued luminescence surrounding him, Su Tu resembled a starving predator, eagerly baring its fangs.

Upon hearing his words, both Bone Father and Blood Mother couldn't suppress a flicker of sheer astonishment.

Immediately following, resonant peals of unnerving laughter echoed throughout the strange, ethereal expanse.

Bone Father's mirth was so profound that his entire skeletal structure vibrated. Slick, beady eyeballs materialized around his form, detaching and tumbling to the ground with each hearty laugh.

Meanwhile, Blood Mother delicately covered her mouth, emitting a soft chuckle, her gentle gaze veiling a profound undercurrent of scorn and derision.

"You seek... to devour us??"

"Hahahahaha!!! Muddy World, our progeny, the pinnacle of our creation, have you finally succumbed to madness and foolishness during this prolonged descent?"

Bone Father declared, his voice reverberating like thunderous might.

He then lifted an arm, raising Su Tu closer to his face, as two spectral Bone Fires abruptly blazed to life within the dark hollows of his eyes.

And then...

Crash!!

The ethereal flames instantly leached onto Su Tu. Though devoid of heat, they pierced the very soul, gnawing at bone and heart, searing with an eternal burn.

In the blink of an eye, the spectral flames had completely engulfed Su Tu.

Then, from every direction, eyeballs materialized one by one, their gazes, thick with resentment and loathing, fixed upon the Su Tu consumed by flames.

These gazes seemed imbued with a potent force, and under the scrutiny of countless eyes, the flame-shrouded body began to thrash and contort with wild desperation.

"Savor this well, for this encompasses all the agony I have endured since my very inception."

"With these sufferings permeating you, your essence will attain a richer flavor. Perhaps, your comprehension will sharpen. After all...."

Bone Father uttered, his voice laced with chilling coldness, and midway, Blood Mother naturally took up the spoken thread.

"After all, we wish for you to keenly perceive every torment you are about to face. Our jaws will tear into your flesh while you are still alive, our molars will ceaselessly grind your very bones.

Every fiber of your being will be utterly consumed, and I desire for you, my cherished child, to witness it all with eyes wide open.

Unlike earlier, when you brazenly proclaimed your intent to..."

"Devour us!!"

"Devour us!!!"

Blood Mother and Bone Father exclaimed in unison, their voices distinct yet undeniably synchronized in that precise moment.

A voice, surpassing all others, erupted in the wake of their combined resonance, heavy with pent-up fury and spite.

The contorted white flames writhed ceaselessly, testament to the sheer terror and pain inflicted upon the soul trapped within.

The more intense the unfolding drama, the more a subtle glint of wicked delight sparkled in Bone Father's and Blood Mother's eyes.

Blood Mother's form shimmered, transforming into a swirling pool of crimson liquid that coiled around Bone Father's massive hand before coalescing before Su Tu.

Gazing upon the figure teetering on the precipice of unbearable agony, Blood Mother's expression softened, her gaze becoming tender, yet her words descended like a frigid gale, freezing the entire space.

"My child, how is it that you have been reborn? What a truly delightful turn of events, for...

I, oh, I intensely desire to observe you both day and night, only to then extinguish you, consume you, slaughter you, not once, but thousands, millions of times over!! An eternal slaughter, without end!"

Blood Mother's tone was gentle, her voice melodious, but every syllable dripped with venom, spreading like liquid metal, an oppressive force that imbued the space with a sinister, blood-tinged frost.

Beside her, Bone Father remained a silent, colossal presence, akin to an unmoving mountain. Mysterious, twisted eyeballs began to sprout continuously from his very being.

In a mere instant, those proliferating eyeballs completely obscured Bone Father's immense silhouette.

Blood Mother raised a hand, her slender fingers exuding a faint crimson hue, the blood slowly, deliberately, dripping onto the spectral flames.

Crash!!

In the very next moment, the Bone Fire surged with renewed vigor, a cacophony of endless wails erupting from within its embrace as the spectral white light became stained with a deep, blood-red hue.

The figure engulfed by the flames convulsed with an insane ferocity, exhibiting even greater agitation, harboring unimaginable torment within its core.

Both Blood Mother and Bone Father observed this spectacle, their eyes devoid of any pleasure, filled instead with an emotion too complex to articulate.

"You likely cannot comprehend the reason behind our treatment of you."

"Although the means of your reappearance remain obscure, after having your essence diminished countless thousands of times, your very concept has grown exceedingly tenuous.

I presume that you have long since forgotten all that transpired back then; otherwise, you would not have uttered such audacious words.

Nor would you have dared to present yourself before us once more. Upon sensing our presence, you should have made a swift retreat, back to the Subspace!!

That would have afforded you a minuscule chance of survival!!"

"Traitor!!!!"

Bone Father unleashed his fury without warning, roaring with savage intensity, his hand tensing as he slammed Su Tu violently into the ground.

The sheer force of the impact sent shockwaves rippling through the entirety of the space, nearly tearing it asunder.The fiery orb descended into the fleshy void, and with startling swiftness, a rope formed from blood seized the flame, drawing it forward. Blood Mother reached out, her fingers softly stroking the flame-engulfed visage. Though her touch was gentle, an overwhelming tide of murderous intent radiated from her. "I perceive your bewilderment; permit me to recount the occurrences of that fateful year once again."
