Chapter 1730 Final Chapter: Crossing the Shore [75] [The blasphemer is lost in divinity.]

Chapter 1730 Final Chapter - Crossing the Shore [75] - [The blasphemer is lost in divinity.]

Ailand grabbed Su Ming'an's ankle, looking into the unwavering determination in Su Ming'an's eyes:

"Please stop..."

This time, I've decided to stop you again. But this is the last time I'll stop you. If you still manage to get past me, then...

Then go ahead and boldly move forward.

A resolute glint flashed in Aland's eyes. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and with a flick of his hand, a surge of azure time power erupted. As one of the eight protagonists, he possessed a cheat ability—the time spirit Wei Rui. He could manipulate time to a certain extent, especially the flow of time on a small scale.

"Crack-!"

A flash of light, time reversed, and Su Ming'an's forward momentum instantly reversed, creating a hand's width of distance between him and the believers. His figure involuntarily retreated slightly, and the chaotic current surged up, enveloping him, the gray mist seeping in relentlessly.

Meanwhile, Ailand, who was in complete control of the second-level god Su Ming'an, used the low-level control to drain himself dry. His expression turned ashen, as if his whole body was burning, and he plummeted downwards.

His body shattered, sinking into the inky black depths of the ocean, like a broken stone statue, leaving a trail of deep red. His dark blue eyes remained fixed on Su Ming'an, their luster gradually fading.

—A decisive move, a sure-kill strike.

At that moment, Su Ming'an suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if it were a destiny he had witnessed. In the first instance, he had been in a similar situation, just a hand's breadth away from the falling Yueyue.

That was the first time Lu Shu formally befriended him, when he lifted the unconscious Yueyue with a butterfly. This time... he had a sixth sense, almost like that of a god. This time, such a distance would not exist.

He looked down at the falling Eland and said calmly:

"...But even if you try your best, you can't stop me from moving an inch."

He immediately activated the "Ring of Time"—

……

[Ring of Time (Purple Tier, Level 2, lv.1): "Since everything leads to the beginning, then why add such ethereal and illusory splendor to my journey?"]

【Spirit +30】

[Duration of crowd control skills increased by 0.5 seconds]

[Currently recorded: Theresa, Xiao Bi, Yao Wen, Noah, Sen Kelstier, North Lisser, Lin Guang T-0321, Alice, Black Magpie, Su Wensheng, Li Mingyue, Su Luoluo, Chang Ge, Xiao Ying, Lotasha, Su Wensheng, Si Que, Antetria, Chen Qingguang, Shi Ying, Casadia, Su Qi, Tian Yu, Hui Chi, Hui Bi, Pero...]

[Special Skill (Time Reversal): Consumes Emotion Points/Mana Points/Divine Power Points to select a space within a certain range and freely choose the reversal time (within twelve hours).]

……

The biggest achievement since venturing into the sea—the "Ring of Time" has been upgraded.

This was an extremely magical piece of equipment, far surpassing other equipment in its overpowered nature. Su Ming'an suspected that it might be the initial state of the "Time" authority, needing to slowly evolve into a true authority. Perhaps if Edward hadn't died, this equipment could have allowed Edward to gradually master the "Time" authority, becoming a dominant force in the late game and competing with Su Ming'an and others. However, Su Ming'an eliminated this possibility beforehand.

Its upgrade method is extremely unique: the death of an "important person" elevates one level, and the criteria for judging what constitutes an "important person" are also intriguing.

When it was first obtained, it could only rewind a few tens of minutes, and it had no effect on living beings. As more names appeared on the ring, it began to be effective on some lower-level beings. Finally, after Perlo died... it completed its advancement and became "Tier 2, Level 1".

Su Ming'an didn't know its highest level. He had already reached the very end and only advanced to the second level, which seemed a bit slow. But he was actually glad that the thing leveled up slowly, because it meant that the number of people he had lost... was far less than it had originally expected.

He aimed at his surroundings and activated his skill—

The biggest improvement from upgrading to Tier 2 is that the phrase "effective on lower life forms" has disappeared, meaning it now applies to all life forms. It's just unknown how effective it will be on gods.

"Crack-!"

……

[Special Skill (Time Loop): Select a space within a certain range and freely choose the time to rewind (within twelve hours).]

[You have set a timeout: twelve minutes.]

[Current Emotion Value: 3988/5000 (Base activation deduction of 1000 points + 120 time points)]

……

"Emotional Value" is a special blue bar for the Hundred Gods profession, mostly used only for the "Judgment" profession skill. After obtaining the divine position, the Emotional Value skyrockets to 5000 points. Now, the "Emotional Value" has a new use: it deducts 1000 points for each use at the base price, and deducts an additional 10 points for every minute that passes.

"Splash—!"

With Su Ming'an's consciousness at its core, an invisible ripple suddenly spread in all directions! Wherever the ripple passed, the boiling scene in the sea of ​​consciousness abruptly reversed.

A dual image unfolds before my eyes: one layer is the "present" that is happening now, and the other is the "past" that is rapidly receding. The image of the "past" gradually covers the "present." It's like two transparent canvases stacked together, with the lower one being slowly pulled out to reveal an earlier scene.

He heard the sound flowing backwards, and his last conversation with Aland echoed in his mind in reverse order, the words reversed, extremely eerie.

The boundaries of the time loop's influence were far greater than he had anticipated. It not only encompassed the area he was in, but even extended into the deepest recesses of his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Uh……!"

The gray mist that had invaded his consciousness receded rapidly like a receding tide. Su Ming'an felt a strong dizziness and exhaustion, which were side effects of the huge consumption of emotional value and the drastic changes in the laws of time.

—Time has rewound to twelve minutes ago.

That is, when Su Ming'an and Lü Shen passed by this place and saw Bai Chun and Nagasha's consciousness.

Su Ming'an discovered the interesting aspect of the "Ring of Time"—because it's a localized rewind, rather than a global one, causal conflicts are inevitable. For example, this sea of ​​consciousness might rewind, but the sea of ​​consciousness might not, meaning Lin Wang'an's golden thread had already been used, and Bai Chun had been rescued; they wouldn't reappear. The numerous followers of the Radiant Mother Goddess who jumped down would still be around him and wouldn't be resurrected with the rewind. This rewind primarily changes one's own state and position; for example, the pollution of the Eighth Seat was clearly dispelled.

But at the same time—Aland was also within the scope of the time travel, and his injuries had healed.

"You...!" Aland was taken aback for a moment, then immediately grabbed Su Ming'an's leg again. He was momentarily confused; should he continue to stop Su Ming'an this time? This man who was adept at creating miracles...

The next moment, he felt a weight on his legs.

—Another figure grabbed his legs as well.

He looked down—and met a pair of captivatingly beautiful eyes, a life as alluring and dangerous as a mandala.

Her long, flowing, azure hair cascaded down her back, her face both beautiful and alluring, her skin adorned with fine, star-like specks. Most captivating were her eyes and brows, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, forming an arc powerful enough to bewitch even the gods, her pupils a mysterious indigo blue, deeper than the deepest abyss, brimming with both poison and honey.

"Hush...look into my eyes..." A dizzying voice rang out, followed by the siren's chant.

Aland's eyes glazed over for a moment, then the endless power of the ocean pulled his body up. In an instant, his hands released Su Ming'an's legs and he sank downwards.

Then, a "judgment" struck, shattering his mental defenses. When he came to his senses, Su Ming'an floated upwards amidst a crowd of Radiant Believers.

Aland stretched out his hand high—

"Time rewind!"

He used his cheat ability to try and pull Su Ming'an's figure back, to pull back the Chaos Flow of the Eighth Seat, but those captivating blue eyes looked over, and the seawater pushed Ailand even further away.

Nagasha, the Ocean Angel. She wields the power of the ocean. And here, is the ocean of consciousness.

Su Ming'an rewound twelve minutes for this very purpose, allowing Nagasha's consciousness to drift back to his side. This place was also the "ocean," and Su Ming'an, desperate as a last resort, wanted to see if Nagasha could help him, even if she couldn't. Unexpectedly, the dying Nagasha actually succeeded in giving him a boost; a wave of seawater slapped, carrying Aland far away.

Su Ming'an dared not make any big moves for fear of harming the many consciousnesses in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, but since Nagasha controlled the power of the ocean, there was no need to worry.

“Riccardo has usurped my divine position, but I have retained my last bit of power, which unexpectedly helped you.”

The ocean gave Su Ming'an a strong push upwards, and surrounded by believers, he floated upwards.

Amidst the chaotic gray mist, Su Ming'an looked down—

A pair of eyes.

He saw a pair of captivating eyes.

Its silvery-blue, star-like hue evokes images of beautiful whales and wondrous, dangerous abysses.

Nagasha, who was defeated and on the verge of death in the tenth round of the game, had done all sorts of bad things in her life. She was a ruthless killer, a vicious woman who grinded her teeth and sucked blood, and was obsessed with evil. In the end, she did the only good thing, which was to support the whole world.

"Savior, I have saved you, can you erase my past sins?" A strange voice rang in my ears.

“No,” Su Ming’an said.

“I think so... There is cause and effect in this world, and good and evil will eventually be rewarded. I never thought... that I would die at the hands of a group of people I killed. In the tenth round of the game, they did not forgive me.”

He smiled and said, “How interesting. In order to do good, I fell into evil. In order to do evil, I was killed by the people I had harmed and ended up here, but in the end, I accomplished the greatest good in the whole world... The good and evil in my life are inexplicable and cannot be explained or sorted out.”

Su Ming'an floated upwards, and Chen Yuhang's team was nearby. Nagasha's activation of the ocean's power greatly increased his speed.

Undeniably, this was indeed the greatest good deed of this evil god in his life.

“Do you remember me?” Nagasha said.

"what?"

"Remember me as the villain."

Whether he liked it or hated it, this siren, whose morality was ambiguous, certainly left a lasting impression on him.

Then, as the water flowed by, he suddenly saw a face without any makeup, not glamorous at all.

Nagasha always wore heavy makeup—eyeliner, blush, lipstick… Her extremely vibrant makeup made her appearance exceptionally beautiful and androgynous, unforgettable. Yet, in this instant, she deliberately wiped away her makeup, revealing her true appearance.

Su Ming'an's expression suddenly changed as he stared in horror at Nagasha, who was gradually revealing her true form.

"Shh...look into my eyes...remember what I originally looked like..."

Su Ming'an opened his mouth, trying to say something, but his throat was choked by immense horror.

He was so shocked that he had never even considered the possibility.

—After removing her makeup, her original appearance revealed a pair of round eyes, somewhat immature facial features, and a slightly rounded chin…

This is truly unpredictable and inexplicable fate...

I uphold goodness, and goodness is me.

I do evil, and evil is me.

I fell into evil because I sought revenge for good; both good and evil are part of me.

I believe in myself, I deceive myself, I weep for myself, I bury myself, I hold fast to myself, I kill myself...

"There was no peach in the world originally..."

This bewitching life.

A hoarse, androgynous voice whispered in Su Ming'an's ear.

……

"Tao'er has always been me..."

……

"Of course I believe! From age six to thirteen, I've always believed in God!" Tao'er replied without hesitation.

"Because I'm pretty?" Nagasha asked.

"Because the gods are beautiful, but they're not just beautiful," Tao'er said. "You've always supported my studies. You described big cities and important people to me, and told me about the Magpie Hero who punished evil and brought down the bad guys..."

"Moreover, I believe in you, especially because I am you, the divine being!"

……

History can be fabricated.

By altering the memory lens, one can deceive those who have experienced the events.

Nagasha did not arrive at the mountain because she was seriously injured, but rather because she received a message from Si Que one day—to monitor a sacred mountain. Nagasha came under orders, using her reincarnation ability as a "Siren of Reincarnation," transforming into Tao'er to monitor the girl who would one day be possessed by Little Lucky Star.

From beginning to end, Peach was always herself.

He made osmanthus cakes at home, carried a basket and climbed the sacred mountain, speaking to the non-existent air, and then talking to himself, playing the role of a god and a girl at the same time.

"God! God! I've come to offer you sacrifices!" Nagasha carried osmanthus cakes up the mountain.

Nagasha then turned her head and murmured, "Why do you believe in me?"

“Look, you’re beautiful, your ears are coral.” Nagasha touched her ears.

He asked, puzzled, "Just because it's pretty?"

He quickly laughed and replied, "No, no... you are the good god! You saved me, and you're beautiful!"

He ate the osmanthus cake he had made himself, praising the non-existent person, and returned to town with an empty basket.

As night fell, He took out his needle and thread and wove a sachet that was not afraid of the rain and a beautiful long dress.

The next day, He descended the mountain at dawn, took a short nap in the house, made new osmanthus cakes in the early morning, and went back up the mountain with a basket.

“God, I’ve brought you offerings again!” He beckoned.

"Peach, here's a gift for you. I heard you say you're afraid of the rain." He handed over the rainproof sachet that was already hanging at his waist.

"Wow, thank God! God is so good." He happily turned his left hand to his right and hung it back on his waist, very pleased.

"And this dress, wear it and you'll be different from the other kids in town." He handed over the long dress.

"God, wait for me..." He hid in the jungle, put on the dress, and it fit perfectly, even the sleeves were just the right size. After all, He had sewn it by hand. He came out smiling, turned around, and asked, "God, does it look good?"

He nodded instantly, his eyes showing appreciation: "Beautiful."

He chuckled, and his eerie yet joyful laughter echoed across the misty mountaintops in the early morning, so unsettling that the woodcutters heading up the mountain fled in terror. A gust of wind and a light rain fell, and birds took flight in fright.

—A one-person show featuring two people, an absurd god and believer.

I am the one who has the faith, and I am the one who is believed in. I am the one who gives the gift, and I am the one who receives it.

When He believed it to be true, He was Nagasha when playing Nagasha, and Tao was Tao when playing Tao... This changed the perspective of the Memory Lens. When Su Ming'an and Bei Wang and others reviewed this history and went to sea, the characters in the play danced wildly, and the Memory Lens truly presented two independent people.

Peach's death was inevitable. If Nagasha wanted to subdue the townspeople who were possessed by the awakened ones, she would have to take back her power. Peach's death was not caused by the townspeople, but by a mechanism that Nagasha had set up beforehand. It was set that Peach would die on the day that "they arrived in large numbers at Rovasa"... There was no pain, no sorrow, just like a period was drawn.

This is why, even though Su Ming'an changed history, Tao'er still died.
