Chapter 317: I’m always the first.

“Hoo——–!”

The wind howled, making the sea of flowers undulate like waves, causing countless vibrant blossoms to sway and flutter.

The exquisitely beautiful Goddess lay there as if in a deep sleep, timeless from an era long before, seemingly unaware of the uninvited guest’s arrival.

Shane stood at a distance, staring at the Goddess, whose beauty was breathtaking and unparalleled, yet he dared not move even an inch, with only one thought in his mind.

That was to curse the Goddess who had thrown him into this place a hundred times over, a hundred times.

“Why on earth did she send me here…!?”

Is this a place one can just waltz into?

According to Luoqi’s words, even the Three Great Goddesses didn’t dare to intrude into this Holy Sanctuary, and even if the world were to end, it’s likely that no one from the Divine Race would come here to disturb the Supreme Goddess in her deep slumber.

And Shane?

He had been directly thrown into this deadly place.

If he were discovered by the people of the Divine Race, from now on, Shane would probably be unable to stay in the Human Realm. He could only flee to the Demon Realm and seek refuge under the banner of a certain young lady, right?

Of course, that wasn’t the most fatal aspect.

The true, most lethal existence was the Goddess lying before Shane.

Who was she?

The beginning of all things.

The origin of the world.

The creator of everything.

The true omnipotent God without any natural predator other than the Demon King.

What would the consequences be if she were to discover him intruding into her territory?

Shane didn’t dare to imagine further.

For now, he didn’t even dare to move; he even intentionally lowered his breathing, afraid to wake the Goddess who seemed eternally immortal.

“What kind of bad karma have I created…”

Shane was on the verge of tears.

Even with any number of cheats activated, he didn’t feel he could grandstand in front of this Goddess.

Not to mention, Luoqi once said that Heroes, Demon Kings, and Goddesses have a relationship of mutual restraint.

According to this restraining relationship, Heroes could vanquish Demon Kings, Demon Kings were the natural enemies of Goddesses, but Goddesses were an existence Heroes absolutely could not defeat. Now that the natural predator, the Demon King, was gone, their existence itself would meet no more threats. That’s why she had chosen to enter a deep slumber voluntarily.

In other words, Shane would never be able to defy the Supreme God, who was the true Goddess.

“…Is it still possible to leave now?”

Shane truly wanted to turn around and flee.

It was then that a voice entered Shane’s mind.

“Don’t worry, she won’t wake up.”

That was Nien’s voice.

“I told you before, with the Demon King gone now, there is nothing in this world that could arouse her interest, nor is there any existence that could pique her curiosity. Even if someone appeared here, to her, it would be no more significant than having a stone next to her while ‘sleeping’.”

Nien’s voice, unlike the stubbornness and chagrin from earlier, was filled with a chill.

“You don’t need to worry about waking her up either. Ordinary people might find it annoying to sleep with the buzzing of mosquitoes and bees nearby, but she won’t. No matter how loud the noises or how much commotion there is, as long as it poses no threat to her, it won’t reach her ears. That’s because her subconscious simply does not acknowledge the existence of others, similar to the sound waves emitted by bats which ordinary people can’t hear. Her current state is similar to that.”

Upon hearing this, Shane wanted to say something, but Nien spoke first.

“Just quietly stay here. This is the safest place in the Three Realms where you are least likely to be disturbed.”

“When it’s daylight over in the Human Realm, I will send you back.”

“After that, you’d better not do anything with the girls around you that you haven’t done with me.”

“Remember that, okay?”

“You are my Hero and whatever you do, I must be the first one.”

After leaving these words, Nien’s voice disappeared.

“Wait! Hey…!?”

Shane couldn’t hold back anymore and called out, but it was to no avail in getting a response from Nien.

“I…”

Shane felt the urge to swear.

This damn Goddess, how dare she do this to me?

Just you wait!

The moment I get a chance, I will curse you a hundred times over, a hundred times!

While cursing in his heart, Shane continued to imagine ways to retaliate against Nien, memorizing and saving each predetermined pose in his mind, waiting for the time they would be put to use.

Unbeknownst to Shane was that, back in the Temple, Nien had “seen” everything he was thinking, and for a moment, her face turned completely red.

Obviously, those so-called “poses” and “tactics” were too provocative for Nien, who was somewhat innocent as a Goddess.

Nien was so stimulated that she even felt a bit of regret.

But rather than regretting, Nien’s possessiveness was stronger.

“No matter what, I must be the first.”

This thought was particularly strong in Nien.

Especially when she recalled the first time Shane and Tielle had bathed together, Nien was overwhelmed with jealousy.

Simply because she hadn’t been the one to experience that “first time.”

It was precisely because of that one time that Nien harbored such intense jealousy and possessiveness, vowing to seize Shane’s various “firsts” from then on, leaving others only the leftovers.

But that’s another story.

“This is my hero.”

Nien would never let go of the being to whom she had entrusted her thoughts for a thousand years.

If it weren’t for the fact that Nien was still too naive and pure-hearted, and somewhat unprepared to accept something so radical, Shane would have been devoured by her, skin and bone, by now.

Therefore, Nien was determined that before she devoured Shane, she must not let any other woman taste him.

If others knew that there existed a goddess who constantly thought about Shane’s body, they would surely think their worldviews utterly destroyed.

But for Nien, all this was nothing but justified.

Just as she had said before, the hero she had personally summoned was her everything.

Since that was the case, Nien naturally wanted everything of his.

For this reason, since their last encounter, Nien had actually been reading Shane’s heart all along.

No, to be more precise, it was reading some of the memories of his past life deep within Shane’s mind.

Nien stretched out her delicate hand and touched the air in front of her, causing ripples to form in the space.

Within the ripples, “a certain work” deeply ingrained in Shane’s memory was being fervently played out.

With her face blushed, Nien covered her eyes, yet her fingers were spread widely apart, allowing her gaze to peer through, fixated on the “work.”

“Is there really… such a position…!?”

“Filthy! It’s truly dirty! Is the Otherworld really full of such things…!?”

“That guy, he wants to do these things to the girls around him, doesn’t he?”

“Darn… I feel so embarrassed… but I must be the first one… I have to be the one to do these things…!”

“Sob…”

Nien, while enduring the baptism of avant-garde knowledge from the Otherworld, flipped through Shane’s “works” in his mind, blushing even more.

At that moment, Nien hadn’t realized that the more she watched, the more engrossed she became until, encountering something even more stimulating, a dangerous smile began to appear on her face.

“Whips… candles…”

If Shane were here to hear her murmuring, he would undoubtedly flee for his life without a second thought.

And in the future, Shane would definitely regret why he kept such things in his mental storage.

…

At the same time, Shane had finally accepted his current reality.

“Since I’m here, I might as well settle in.”

Shane sighed, gradually easing the tension in his heart.

His strong adaptability had always been one of his special traits; even now, it remained the same.

Thus, having accepted his circumstances, Shane was no longer tense, just a bit uneasy.

“Is she really not going to wake up?”

Shane looked toward the Goddess lying in a deep sleep before him.

Indeed, she had not moved an inch, and he couldn’t even hear her breathing or see her chest rise and fall. She was like a frozen sleeping beauty, showing no signs of life at all.

“Should I go over and check?”

Shane’s courage slowly grew.

This man was inherently a carefree and reckless “wanderer,” and staying out of trouble was simply impossible.

Thus, Shane mustered his courage and slowly moved toward the sleeping Goddess.

It wasn’t long before he was at the Goddess’s side, and at the closest distance, he saw her in full detail.

Upon seeing her, Shane became somewhat entranced.

“She’s so beautiful…”

This thought unbiddenly escaped Shane’s lips.

Nien had always been seen as the pinnacle of beauty in Shane’s heart, only Luoqi could compete with her to some extent, while all the others paled in comparison.

The sleeping Goddess not only bore a resemblance to Nien from the same mold but also had a quality that Nien did not possess.

That aura, to put it precisely, Shane couldn’t quite explain.

It was like the sun, scorching and warm.

It was like the moon, cool and gentle.

She was merely lying there quietly, yet it made Shane feel as if the world revolved around her, as if heaven and earth regarded her as their focus.

Shane even felt that if anything happened to this Goddess, the world would end with her.

This was no longer the center of the world; it was the core.

“Just a delicate and beautiful woman…”

Shane found it incredible.

How had those slender arms forged a world as grand as this?

How had that frail body shouldered the history of all life?

How could such a fragile woman become a supreme being, the origin of everything?

While contemplating, Shane felt as though he was losing himself in her existence.

Unconsciously… really unconsciously… Shane squatted down and extended his hand.

It wasn’t until he came to his senses that he realized he had caressed the Goddess’s face.

It was a bit cold to the touch but extremely smooth.

Then…

“Boom!”

Shane’s head suddenly thundered, causing his vision to blur and sending him into a spell of dizziness.
