The first day of the new year came as expected.

In a certain house in Wulei River City, a young woman was watching her phone while eating breakfast.

"Live on, see it with your own eyes!"

"Don't fall before dawn."

"What if?"

On the phone screen, a young human in a feathered robe was flying over an ancient city.

His words were steady and powerful, so inspiring.

Until the woman saw the scene of him slowly descending and being surrounded by the masses again, she put down her chopsticks.

Her eyes reddened.

Excitement? Delight? Fanatical worship?

It didn't seem to be any of those.

It was more like... regret?

Wu Shanshan has watched this video countless times.

Lu Ran's supreme demeanor, as if he were ruling the world, left her in a stupor time and again.

In her memory, he was still a bleating little lamb.

Though unlike other Immortal Sheep Believers, during their time together, Lu Ran tried hard to show his fearless battle stance of a sheep.

But fundamentally, he was still a lamb that was despised by others.

Tough on the outside, timid on the inside.

No matter how well he performed, so what?

The more a person lacks, the harder they try to showcase it!

When faced with a truly powerful enemy, he would be the first to back down, surely the first to run away.

Who would want to team up with such a person?

At that time, Wu Shanshan, a disciple of Second-class God Ash, was assigned by the school to Lu Ran's team.

To be precise, it was Jiang Ruyi's team, teaming up with Lu Ran and Deng Yutang.

But after a single mission together, Wu Shanshan quickly withdrew and joined a top student's team.

Later, Lu Ran led his team to first place in every school exam, making Wu Shanshan more and more silent.

But no matter what, those were just simple tasks in high school.

Wu Shanshan kept convincing and comforting herself.

Lately, Lu Ran even shone brightly on the stage of "Heavenly Pride", reaching the top as the Pride of Da Xia.

Unmatched at the time!

Wu Shanshan couldn't deceive herself anymore, realizing clearly that she had misjudged.

This fighting sheep was truly not just tough on the outside; the way he was when they first teamed up, his consistency never wavered.

But so what then?

Missing it is just missing it.

He stood alone apart from the team, participated in "Heavenly Pride" by himself, and the team members didn't gain much benefit.

As "Heavenly Pride" concluded, he gradually faded from the public's view.

Wu Shanshan thought she'd never see him again in this lifetime; he was just a particularly brilliant shooting star in her life's journey.

Perhaps he had already fallen in some Demon Cave or battlefield.

Who would have thought, amid the massive fall of the gods, he reappeared before the world's eyes.

And he came bringing a group of new gods with him!

Now, Lu Ran is titled "Human God" by the people of Da Xia.

He is the God of the Human Clan.

Possibly also the leader of all gods.

Each of these Human Gods made Wu Shanshan feel incredulous, yet also willing to worship in awe.

But the young goddess statue in Jade Lonely City made Wu Shanshan's eyes redden again and again.

Jiang Ruyi!

The top student from Rain Alley First Middle School, Jiang Beauty.

Her high school classmate, and once her team captain, although… that team didn't last long.

Jiang Ruyi actually became a god?!

Following by Lu Ran's side, she became a god exalted above all, worshipped by billions.

The Goddess today is known as Xian Mo.

Wu Shanshan knew the origin of this name, at least knew the origin of the character "Mo".

Jiang Beauty often carried a faint jasmine fragrance in her hair.

He really liked to smell it...

No one knew how Wu Shanshan spent the past half month in a daze.

Once, she thought she only lost her continuous top performance.

No matter, a few more or few less points in minor high school assessments didn't matter much.

Later, she felt she missed the opportunity to become famous.

Lu Ran became the Pride of Da Xia!

If she were still in that team, without such friction in their relationship, just being by his side and presenting herself well, like Jiang Ruyi, what impact would she have had?

What kind of organizations or groups could she be part of?

But regret was useless now, Wu Shanshan could only accept it.

But now, seeing all that Jiang Ruyi had, she shattered softly.

She was clearly a disciple of Second-class God, with talents and combat power surpassing Jiang Ruyi!

If she had always stayed by Lu Ran's side, among the ranks of so many Human Gods, wouldn't she have her own place?

God...

To become a divine being renowned for ages, with mana beyond measure...

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The phone suddenly buzzed loudly.

Wu Shanshan snapped back to reality, seeing it was a call from her father. She quickly wiped her eyes and answered the call, "Dad?"

"Shanshan, are you up yet? It's half-past seven, and the God Worship ceremony is about to start. The nearest God Worship Platform to you..."

"I know, Dad, I knoooow..." Wu Shanshan couldn't hold back and whimpered aloud.

On the other end, there was a moment of silence.

How could a parent not know their daughter's growth path?

It's just fate toying with people.

"Dad, will Lu… Ran Shen and the gods, the gods know I... didn't accept, didn't..." Wu Shanshan choked, her thoughts chaotic.

"Shanshan, don't overthink. You're indeed a great power of the River Realm, but in the eyes of the gods, you might not be worth noticing."
