Chapter 553 Five Hundred and Fifty One·TE·The Day the Flowers Bloom (Part 1)

[I can’t tell you: my confrontation and compromise with this world. 】

【You are all here. 】

[So I’m still at a loss as to what to do,]

[I can’t explain this painful feeling. 】

[Just thinking of you makes the world go backwards in a bright halo. 】

[Some things we think are eternal, including time,]

【They are all vulnerable. 】

【——(Yu Xiuhua)】

…

"-No matter how they regard us as 'heretics', you will never give up, will you?"

Su Mingan looked into Xi Boer's eyes.

There is still that wilderness-like calm in her eyes - reminiscent of flying goshawks, grasslands and wind.

In the blink of an eye, his eyes met and were locked by the night wind, as if a tug-of-war suddenly started.

She stared at him closely, and her eyes met his. In those pale eyes, there was a loneliness that could keep watch all night.

"I really shouldn't hesitate."

She released her hand that was holding him back.

"Go." She said:

"—Become a god among madmen."

Su Mingan glanced at her and continued to stretch her hand forward.

Finally, he encountered the power.

"Wow——!"

The moment he grasped the power, it turned into a black crow bracelet and hung on his wrist.

"Dingling--dinging--"

Three black bracelets swayed on Su Mingan's wrist, making a crisp collision sound and creating a strange rhythm.

The prostrate and croaking black lamb, the twisting and crawling black python, and the black crow that is almost soaring with its wings spread.

The raised lines appeared as if they suddenly came to life, and the mysterious and thick breath rushed towards the face, as if one could see the original picture of people and hunting in the ancient times, and see the knives and fire in the original forest.

——They opened three pairs of eyes as red as blood.

Su Mingan's heart was filled with vast emotions for a moment.

At this moment, he seemed to be able to feel the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy of the people of Qiongdi, and touch their rich and prosperous emotions.

The sadness of losing a loved one, the anger of being tortured by fate, the despair of the invasion of the curse of the sky, the depression of not being able to see tomorrow...

He seemed to be able to hear the screams in their hearts and the overwhelmed voices of their souls——

——Why are we born with a curse! ?

——Why are devout believers fooled? Why don’t those who take their faith the most seriously not have a happy ending?

——Why no matter how hard you struggle, you can only have your wings clipped and not be able to see the light of day?

——If you can hear me, Lord God——appear quickly, appear quickly——

——We sacrifice our faith, will, life, and soul to you——

——I pray to you——

——Redemption of our wild souls that are unwilling to surrender.

Around him, extremely impactful white tentacles spread in all directions, quickly breaking through the castle.

They tore through the atmosphere, burned the sky, and almost broke through the layers of darkness. They were like the dawn of light in ancient times. Thousands of falling meteors stirred up a roaring sound that could be heard throughout the entire sky.

At this time, the curse of the sky, which was like a living thing, was pressing down on the entire dome. The heavy rain hung upside down along the black particles, as if rolling up dark black rain waves, like the end of the world.

He was lifted up by a force, flying high into the sky along the broken castle, looking directly at the curse of the sky that rolled down -

——The ‘Tower of London’ ruptured.

——The dark raven crows loudly and flies high into the boundless sky.

…

[——Five years ago, the curse of the sky came. 】

[——The sky is in crisis of destruction, and people are running away in panic, as if it’s the end of the world. 】

…

In the forest, a little boy holding candy raised his head and looked at the sky.

At this time, the curse of the sky was coming, and his ears were filled with the crackle of the fire, the sound of heavy rain rolling back the cursed sludge, the sizzling sound of the curse under the sky, people's roars, desperate cries, and running. Voice.

"Feng Qiqi, let's go, we have to go back to the tribe! The Curse of the Sky has come, it's very dangerous now!" The elder next to him went to pull him.

However, Feng Qiqi remained motionless.

"Great Elder, look, what is that?" He pointed to the sky.

He saw a bright white figure in the sky.

The vague white figure stood high in the forest, like a bird flying into the sky, like the most glorious sun.

So bright, so bright.

He is like a beam of light tearing through the darkness.

He rose from the direction of the ancient castle, getting closer and closer to the Curse of the Sky.

The light from the sky made Feng Qiqi's eyes blurry, and even the burning scars showed no pain.

"...Is that the legendary Lord Baishen?" he said.

…

[——At that time, the Bai God descended in front of people, turned his body into a barrier, sacrificed his godhead, blocked the curse of the sky, protected his people, and then died. 】

…

[——This is the eternal ending. 】

…

At this time, a silent sense of majesty enveloped the area.

The people who were running away in panic heard the wind sound like a whisper.

When they raised their heads, they could see their god standing high in the sky.

People watched Him for a long time through a bright white mist. His brilliant radiance dyed the sky into a bright white.

The white light obscured His face, and they could not see His appearance clearly.

However, people know.

——That’s a god.

——That is the Bai God they have believed in for hundreds of years, who will protect them, dispel curses, and represent perfection.

The air seemed stagnant.

The sky suddenly stopped and the black fog stagnated.

There are endless creatures in the sky and under the sky...

It's like being wrapped in still amber.

No one ran away in panic anymore. They knelt on the ground in unison, bowed their heads, prayed, and gave a loyalty that could almost burn their souls to the coming figure.

Their lifelong piety is particularly clear at this moment.

In the sky, the only moving white figure slowly flew high into the sky.

It was the only movement in the silence, with a sense of missing space, passing by countless condensed figures.

In the endless silence, He was the only one flying towards the sky, as if stepping on invisible stairs.

Behind him, followed a figure, slender and thin, as if following him like a shadow.

…

【long long ago……】

【There is a god who is kind, just, and merciful. 】

[He represents uniqueness and perfection, and will come to the sky to protect people when disaster occurs. 】

[Therefore, the land in the Qing Dynasty was fertile and the weather was smooth. The devout people live and work in peace and contentment, and the wheat harvest is abundant. 】

【He is a hundred gods. 】

[Five years ago, it first appeared in the eyes of the people, like a flash in the pan. 】

…

The black sky curse is getting closer and closer.

Siboer could sense the emotions from the people in the sky, so vivid and clear...the fear of disaster, the belief in gods, the confusion about the future, the sadness of losing loved ones...

She followed the bright white god - the Bai God Su Ming'an.

Fragments of light and shadow scattered and swayed on his body, and it was not difficult to imagine that the halo was kissing his shadow. Although he was close to her, he was as far away as a fragile dream.

He stood in the air, white tentacles holding him up, and he was getting closer and closer to the curse of the sky that was destroying the sky.

Just now, after taking over the authority of Black Crow, he heard a faint whisper.

…

[You will bear the evil of the sky and the earth, bear all the pain, and share the pain of all curses. 】

[You will accept all beliefs, good or evil, and you will love everyone equally. 】

[——You will forget your pain, sorrow and joy. 】

…

[Larsus, the Hundred God, gives you the job title of ‘The Hundred God’. 】

[——My dear ‘replacer’. 】

…

Su Mingan knew what the role he was playing was.

Siboer's faith was not enough to allow her to create a powerful fantasy creation - it was the favor of the Bai gods who secretly helped her create this fantasy creation.

——This fantasy creation is the adapter of Baishen.

——Just like the relationship between Yuan Shuangshuang and Jiu Shen.

Now, Su Ming'an has returned to the past, and Bai Shen's will has been integrated into his body - at this time, he and Bai Shen are one.

He was walking up step by step, and Sibor was following behind him. She was covered by the bright white light, like a twisted shadow.

Su Mingan stretched out his hand and moved his wrist.

He is a traveler from the outside world and will leave here sooner or later. He became a hundred gods just to pass the level perfectly.

When leaving, he cannot take away Baishen's belongings, otherwise he will lose his identity as a player.

"jingle--"

He took off the dark bracelet, which was engraved with a dark lamb.

When the black lamb bracelet moves, it looks like a galloping black goat. Along with the endless white light, it turns into a barrier and flies towards the sky——

[The authority of the Black Lamb turns into a sky barrier to block the curse of the sky. 】

If it is not turned into a barrier to block the Curse of the Sky, Qiongdi will perish at this moment.

——This is why it, as authority, is no longer in anyone’s hands five years later.

He took off his second bracelet and threw it into the sky.

The pitch-black python climbed out and descended towards the forest, looking for the boy who was most suitable for it——

The little boy let go of the colorful candy in his hand and picked up the bracelet that fell on the ground.

"Lord Baishen has given me authority, and I will be a well-deserved 'Son of Baishen'." He closed his eyes and murmured to himself:

"...Sissi, I can protect you when we meet next time."

"Click", the candy in his hand fell to the ground and gradually sank in the hot soil.

[The power of the black python is held by the young clan leader to maintain the peace of the clan. 】

The third bracelet lay in Su Ming'an's hand for a while.

He stared at the bracelet with a black crow engraved on it, remembering the girl's quiet and gentle smile, and after a moment, he let go of his hand.

…

[Su Mingan, of course this is a loan. 】

[——Because, sooner or later, you will return it to me. 】

…

"Wha--" The black crow soared into the air and swooped towards the castle.

In front of the window of the castle, a purple-haired girl stood there quietly, taking over the authority of the black crow and curling her lips into a smile.

[The power of the black crow is held by "Yuan Shuangshuang" to suppress the concentration of the curse. 】

Su Mingan raised his hand and looked at the inscriptions on his hand.

…

[Reincarnation line limited prop: Silver Star copy record inscription (this prop will play a role in the subsequent process). 】

…

This is the reward for the inspection mission of the Shadow Leader. After advancing 100% of the inspection progress, Shadow traveled all over the sky and obtained this.

This inscription records all Silver Star copies in Dome, including content, rules, and reward plans.

He dropped it slowly.

next moment,

It turned into a stream of light and drifted away, condensing around the dome, forming small copies of the silver stars.

[Curse of Ghosts and Men], [Black Lamb and Dawn of the Night]...

Five years later, they will become an important element of war and a place where people fight.

Su Mingan closed her eyes.

Around him, brilliant white tentacles bloomed like petals. They separated with a "cluster" sound, turned into a stream of light, and rushed towards the direction of the final altar——

[The energy of the Hundred Gods is buried in the final altar as a reward for the Hundred-Man War. 】

But in people's eyes - the white light on Bai Shen suddenly dimmed and turned into nothingness, leaving only the light of the Black Lamb's authority turned into a barrier.

The light of the barrier rushing toward the sky seemed to be transformed into the body of their Lord Baishen.

"Wha—!"

The barrier lit up, stretched, spread, and stretched, like a transparent wall, withstanding the terrifying curse that was pressing down, like a pot on the dome.

The curse of the sky stopped the invasion, and the barrier stopped all disasters beyond its protection.

The brilliant radiance of the barrier slowly formed, like a high wall, protecting the people below.

And the hundreds of gods in the sky have disappeared into the darkness, no longer visible to the naked eye, as if they have disappeared.

Therefore, the old people in the future will teach their children earnestly——

…

[Five years ago, a large curse like a living creature suddenly appeared in the sky, and the sky was in danger. 】

[The Bai God, who originally only existed in legends and oracles, truly appeared in front of the tribesmen. His whole body was covered in strong white light, and his face could not be seen clearly. 】

[In the prayers of the tribesmen, He turned into the sky to block the curse, sacrificed himself, and protected all believers...]

【……】

[He is the God who protects us—the God of kindness, justice, and mercy. 】

…

Su Mingan gasped softly, her heart filled with an inexplicable emotion.

At this moment - everything seemed empty and clear in his eyes.

After he returned everything, a small line of three words [Su Mingan] gradually condensed in mid-air and reappeared on his head, representing his identity as a player.

His ID, which had disappeared for a long time since he embarked on the road of Baishen, returned safely at this time.

In the brilliant and dazzling light, he and Siboer stared at the three scattered powers, the energy buried in the final altar, and the copy of the Silver Star that was gradually generated.

The golden light, like scattered stars, fell on people. People watched the white light, representing the Baishen, rushing towards the sky to curse. They will remember this scene deeply in their hearts and never forget it.

Countless beliefs came together at this moment - the devout people truly saw the "god" they had believed in for a long time.

Five years of myths and legends, recorded in the oracles passed down by people orally, passed down the epic scene in front of them——

[Five years ago, Baishen came. 】

[Their authority is - black lamb, black python, black crow. 】

…

this moment,

The sky rises in the morning,

Glorious through the ages.

The light shone all over the sky, and the people burst into tears of gratitude, as if everything was coming to life.

[Baishen——arrive. 】

…

——That’s it, a perfect closed loop.

…

[Perfect clearance progress: 100%]

…

…

After doing all this, Su Mingan looked at Xi Boer.

She should have been desperate because the outside world was doomed and there was no way she could lift the curse.

But at this time, she exuded a calm temperament and a vivid vitality.

"Xi Boer, are you hiding something from me?" he said.

"What?" Siboer looked at him.

Su Mingan was silent for a moment and said:

"I know that even if I become a hundred gods, I still can't solve the problem. The reason why there is a curse in the sky is that people's belief in gods will lead to a curse in the void.

Bai Shen and Jiu Shen are gods born in the void. As long as there are still people who believe in them, there will be a curse in the void.

——So, the only solution is for people to have no faith, or to believe in a god that does not originate from the void. In this way, the curse will not be born. "

Sibor still looked at him quietly.

She stood in the light from the barrier, her crystal white hair flowing slightly behind her, as if the light and heat had never left her.

This is indeed why she wants to become a god alone. Because the new god who became a god from a human body does not originate from the void. As long as people believe in her, there will be no curse.

However, she is a pagan. Even if she has [authority] and [energy], she cannot obtain the final [faith] and become a god.

This is also the reason why she is so desperate.

"so……"

Su Mingan took out the rusty key in his backpack.

——This key fell in front of his door at the beginning.

The key is the materialization of the [faith] element. He himself has a white Baishen faith key and has collected 10000/10000.

And this rusty key is.

A few days ago, when he blocked the rain of natural disasters and poison and descended in front of people as a hundred gods, it changed from dot to 9850.

He thought this was the key to God Jiu’s faith, and it was Siboer who contributed a lot to God Jiu alone.

However, when he had just achieved Baishen, the Rusty Key suddenly dropped from 9900 points.

Therefore, it is not the key to Jiu Shen’s faith, but——

He looked into her eyes.

Siboer was also looking at him calmly, her eyes calm and peaceful.

At this moment, Su Mingan could no longer see through her. She was like an onion that could not be peeled off, layer after layer.

"——Sibur, this is your own key, right?" He looked into her eyes and said.

Through the numerical changes of the tentacle key, he deduced a truth.

A... truth he had never imagined.

An afterthought that made his scalp numb rose up and pinched his heart.

This rusty key.

It is Siber's own key.

——Sibur created her fantasy creation. Therefore, every time her fantasy creation becomes a god, she can get a part of the [Faith] points from the fantasy creation's feedback. This is the same principle as people's feedback to the void gods.

——This is her only way to gain [Faith].

Su Mingan held the key in his hand:

"...Every time you get to this point, every time your creations become gods, and success comes to people, you will get feedback [faith], right?"

Each time you succeed, you will get 100 points.

The current value is 9900.

——So, this is not the first time that Sibor has overturned the black wall, walked here, and seen her fantasy creation successfully become a hundred gods.

——This is her ninety-ninth success.

Su Mingan was speechless.

Maybe hundreds or thousands of reincarnations failed before she could succeed once.

These ninety-nine successes are the accumulation of countless failures.

If the Rusty Key can be restored, she will realize her long-cherished wish, gain [Faith], and become a god who does not originate from the void.

[The Baishen represents perfection. 】

[Hundred, hundred. 】

Before the final despair, there are twists and turns.

She was so desperate just now, but it turned out that she was just one final success away.

At this moment, bright red lines spread from Siboer's arms, which were the ancient fantasy characters of "ninety-nine".

Su Mingan suddenly remembered what she said when he first met her.

…

[She raised her arm, revealing an arm engraved with strange blood-colored runes. 】

[For some reason, Su Mingan suddenly felt like he was being watched by gods. 】

["My goal is not just the final victory. I... want to be in this land, in this closed world..." She said:]

【"...become a god."】

…

Su Ming'an felt that he was probably going crazy and was being deceived by her.

The little liar who told lies deceived him until the last moment.

Did she just remember now that this was her ninety-ninth time to overthrow the black wall and see imaginary creations become hundreds of gods, or did she really think that she had never overthrown it?

Which one is her true face, the one who is driven crazy by the desperate desire to save her and thinks that it is impossible for her to become a god, or the one who remembers that there is still a way ahead and is only 100 points away from becoming a god?

There is no road ahead for her at all, and she is even just one step away from becoming an independent god.

Su Mingan remembered the name of the eighth world.

[The name of the eighth world - Divine Sacrifice. 】

A sacrifice to a god, not a sacrifice to a god.

——The sacrifice is to gods, not humans.

He seemed to understand the meaning.

In the future, when Sibor completes the hundredth descent of the gods and gains complete [faith], she will be able to break away from her status as a pagan and become a god.

After reincarnation ends, she will gradually change the beliefs of the sky - and finally, completely break the superstition.

She will use herself as a sacrifice to "kill" the god she transformed into, break the ignorant beliefs, and turn the sky into a world consistent with the outside world.

Perhaps this will take a long time.

But it doesn't matter, what she lacks most is time.

——She found the best [tomorrow].

Divine sacrifice.

She is the "god" being sacrificed.

…
