The definition of "human" can be argued from both scientific and metaphysical perspectives.
The scientific theory is very simple.
It generally refers to Homo sapiens, hominoids, who possess intelligence, are capable of creating and using precise tools, and are bipedal upright individuals.
The metaphysical side is even simpler.
If you believe you are human, then you are human.
After integrating the spirit crystal and gaining spiritual power, Bai Chen killed the Heretic God sealed within his body, and the God Slayer reincarnation ritual automatically began.
Pandora, the goddess residing in Yu Shi, summoned Bai Chen's soul to her location.
The space of a green wilderness was filled with substances that could kill an ordinary person.
Yu Shi.
A realm where only non-humans can set foot and survive.
Even the most top-tier human spellcasters, or great knights, could only exist here for about half an hour.
"Children nowadays are much crazier than before."
Accompanied by a soft voice, a petite girl with tassel-like golden hair appeared on the endless grassland.
The breeze swept through the sea of green grass, creating a rustling sound.
Pandora reached out her hand towards the sky, and Bai Chen, whose soul had been summoned to Yu Shi, slowly descended into her tender embrace.
The gentle breeze, as if imbued with life, gently lowered the unconscious Bai Chen.
The goddess also sat down, letting his head rest on her lap.
Pandora gazed at the sleeping young man, gently stroking his face, a benevolent smile gracing her lips.
"...Sleep, when you awaken in the real world, the god you have slain will become nourishment for your growth."
A strong hurricane rose over the wilderness.
In the sky of Yu Shi, a ring-like halo continuously flashed.
The God Slayer Reincarnation Great Ritual was about to begin.
"Oh?"
Pandora felt her right hand being grabbed.
The goddess looked in surprise at the awakened Bai Chen.
Normally, humans who successfully slay a god for the first time are on the verge of death.
Therefore, the Usurpation Ring would heal their fatal wounds the moment they successfully slay a god, and then transfer the Authority.
During this period, they would have a brief consciousness, but they would never wake up.
Furthermore, after leaving Yu Shi, they would also forget her existence.
But now... what's going on?
Is it because of the influence of that power within this child?
"Is this Yu Shi?"
Bai Chen, currently kneeling on the goddess's lap, could clearly see Pandora's face.
Her features were exquisite and lovely, and describing her as breathtakingly beautiful would be no exaggeration.
Not only that, such a pure and adorable face constantly exuded an anomalous, demonic charm.
Bai Chen admitted that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Of course.
Pandora was also the first woman he had seen with his own eyes since his transmigration.
No, it was a goddess.
Bai Chen tried his best to control his male impulses.
In mythology, Pandora was the woman who opened the box and released disasters into the world, and even before that, she was described as extremely charming in myths.
"Ara, how do you know?"
Pandora tilted her head in confusion.
Waking up was already quite rare, let alone retaining such clear consciousness.
"...It's just common sense."
The existence of Yu Shi was not a secret.
Bai Chen replied, then looked at his chest.
Although not his physical body, he was still wearing clothes.
At the same time, the chest he had personally torn open had returned to normal.
He had gambled correctly.
"...But who are you?"
Although Bai Chen knew the basic settings of a God Slayer, to prevent Pandora from noticing any anomalies, he could only pretend to be a curious child.
Hearing this, Pandora's doubts vanished, and she then hugged Bai Chen tightly.
A sweet yet loving voice sounded in his ear.
"I'm your mother, you know."
"..."
"Why no reaction?"
"And then?"
Bai Chen could only ignore it.
"...Really, I'm just your mother."
A pouting Pandora made Bai Chen sit up, and the two sat facing each other.
"Do you remember what happened before you fainted?"
"The Heretic God Siegfried entered my body, and then I killed myself and him?"
Bai Chen said.
"Yes, by slaying a god as a human, you achieved the 'impossible' miracle."
Although Bai Chen's composure was unexpectedly calm, how could anyone who slayed a god be an ordinary person?
Pandora didn't think much of it and looked up at the sky.
"When this great feat is accomplished somewhere in the world, I, who bestow all calamities and hopes, will appear to celebrate the birth of my new child."
"It's coming..."
Pandora's expression was gentle yet solemn.
"Next, it might be a bit painful, but this pain is the price to bring you to the peak. Relax and accept it; do not resist at all."
As her words fell.
A special light, like flowing water, poured into Bai Chen's body.
Pain comparable to a heart being pierced and nerves being torn spread wildly.
"Please bestow blessings and hatred upon this child! The seventh God Slayer, offer the sacred Spirit Language to this child."
Pandora's words became one of the powers driving the Usurpation Ring.
And Bai Chen, clenching his teeth, endured the price of the power... PS: Writing like this, I feel like I won't make it to serialization.
