Shadow took his hand. At this moment, the time around him suddenly stopped. Qian Qian couldn't hear their communication at this time.

"Don't be in a hurry to refute me, I know you are not Jiu Shen, but you are not curious, why did you come here?" Shadow said, "Future people."

Seeing this, Su Mingan realized something: "You brought me to this timeline?"

"Yeah." Shadow nodded: "...I am the envoy of the Nine Gods, and I have such authority."

"Nine Gods originally had divine envoys?" Su Ming'an had never heard of it before.

The shadow smiled slightly: "I am the envoy of the Nine Gods, but in this world where beliefs are monopolized by the Bai God, I can only pretend to be an ordinary orphan and mingle with the children...

Children are the purest, and I can easily change their minds. And among them, Qian Qian is the most important.

When she was a child, I had been telling her about the various deeds of the Nine Gods, which made her change her mind subtly, and now... I finally succeeded. As long as I lied to her and said that you, the one who has been saving her, is Lord Nine Gods, and that if she believes in the existence of Nine Gods, then Nine Gods will really exist. So please don't deny me. "

Wonderful cause and effect.

When he heard these words, Su Ming'an couldn't help feeling a little emotional about the rules of this dome.

In the concept of Qiongdi people, gods are cultures formed by social relations.

Gods and people are interdependent, and they have a convention to trade faith.

People deliver their loyal beliefs, and the gods who live by their beliefs will truly come before their eyes and become what they need.

Not simply 'believing' can create a god.

Only pure 'belief' can do it.

It is a kind of value instilled in people, rooted in people's subconscious.

What Shadow has been doing is to convince Sibel that the Nine Gods that people have heard from word of mouth really exist. He deliberately led the disaster to happen, made her lose her faith in Baishen, and asked her to pin everything on the Nine Gods who could save her.

Believe it or not.

A simple sentence can be played with such a big trick.

"...Do you think that Lord Jiu Shen is the evil **** and the evil side behind Lord Bai Shen?" Shadow said.

"Isn't it?" Su Mingan said.

Shadow laughed.

"No," he said. "On the contrary."

Hearing Shadow's words, Su Mingan felt a sense of absurdity rise.

He had a hunch that what Shadow was going to say next seemed to subvert all the information he had obtained so far.

"Master Jiu Shen is the oldest guardian deity that exists in this dome." Shadow said.

"..." Su Mingan was a little surprised.

He had guessed that the Nine Gods did not exist, he had also guessed that the Nine Gods were the companion gods of the Bai Gods, and even guessed that the Nine Gods were himself.

... But he never guessed that this Nine Gods existed from the very beginning.

He just hasn't gained enough faith and hasn't woken up.

On the contrary, it is Baishen, just a fictional image of a **** created by outsiders in order to control Qiongdi people.

"I understand." Su Ming'an said, "Hundreds of years ago, the beliefs of outsiders invaded. They slandered the Nine Gods, destroyed all the cultural books about the Nine Gods, and named them evil gods, thus changing the belief in the entire sky like this. As a result, outsiders who control the beliefs of Qiongdi people can use their fictional name of 'Bai Shen' to do whatever they want. And the real **** 'Jiu Shen' who lost their faith fell into a deep sleep."

"You're very smart," Shadow said.

"However, soon, the avatar of Baishen will also gain enough faith, and he will appear in a flash." Su Mingan said.

"That's right." Shadow said, "However, fiction is fiction after all. Baishen will turn into a barrier to cover the sky and die soon. After all, it is not a real god."

Su Mingan took a breath.

He really did not expect that this nine gods were the real, ancient gods. He had been defiled by outsiders and deprived of his faith, so that He would sleep forever.

And Bai Shen... Before He really appeared, it was just a lie from outsiders.

People are good at making social distinctions with the concepts of "pollution" and "cleanliness". Humans are naturally disgusted with the existence of diseases, so, let nature take its course, this has become a distinguishing factor. If you want to exclude a class of people, the best way is to loudly announce that this class of people is sick and will cause pollution.

Therefore, outsiders announced that the Nine Gods will bring curses and disasters, and those who believe in the Nine Gods will cause pollution.

Then they succeeded, people stopped believing in the Nine Gods, and the Nine Gods fell into a deep sleep.

So in the future, in fact, that Sibel, who was rejected by everyone, is the only person in the vault with the correct belief.

Su Ming'an remembered what he saw when he first entered the dungeon, woke up, and pushed open the wooden door.

The vast, deep black sky lay behind her, and the thin and thin figure was dressed in a bright red robe.

She is like a beating, bright fire in the dark night, stubbornly blooming with the most dazzling brilliance in the dark.

It seems that he is fighting this dark world silently with the power of one person.

At that time she,

It is indeed against the world.

Shadow raised his hand, time returned to its normal flow, and Qian Qian opened her eyes.

She is too weak now, forcibly suppressing the curse in her body, making it difficult for her to even speak.

"Siebel." Shadow said, "Do you want to live?"

"You..." Qian Qian didn't understand, her childhood playmate who had always been very low-key, this shadow... this orphan who was picked up by her parents and who has been with her all the time, who is this person?

"You can also see that Lord Baishen does not care for you. Even your young patriarch Si Ke, until his death, was not pityed by him." Shadow said:

"He... issued an oracle for you to hold a war of a hundred people and kill each other, and let you be thrown into the magma to sacrifice to the gods. He is not a **** that should be trusted at all.

And the one in front of you has been helping you, saving you, changing your brother's talent, and defeating the strongest elder... This omnipotent Lord Nine God, he is worthy of your faith.

As long as you believe in Nine Gods, Lord Nine Gods can save you. "

"What should I do?" Sibel said blankly.

As the existence most likely to be sacrificed to the gods, she is not a loyal believer of the gods.

When she was young, the shadow had been by her side and told her.

[The Nine Gods really exist. 】

【You have to believe in the Nine Gods. 】

But now, the Nine Gods really appeared in front of her eyes, saving her from dying.

She believed it.

Lord Nine Gods...maybe it really exists.

"If you want to believe in Nine Gods..." Shadow stood in front of her and looked at her.

"Sibel, you have to hold on to your belief in the Nine Gods for the rest of your life." Shadow said.

...

[“But I can’t give up the belief in Nine Gods.” Sibel shook his head: “Sorry, this is the only one that doesn’t work.”]

["...Is that so?" Su Mingan couldn't understand this fanatical belief. 】

[It is clearly an unacceptable evil **** who has made her suffer so much. Why, she would rather be rejected all the time than believe in the Nine Gods?]

...

"You have to offer your outstanding talent as a sacrifice to the Nine Gods." Shadow said.

...

[The red-robed man's voice trembled slightly: "Adventurer, I have to remind you that I am the weakest of all, and I am the 100th leader..."]

...

"You have to sacrifice your life force as the price for every time the Nine Gods give you strength," said the shadow.

...

[Su Ming'an noticed that after touching his hand, Sibel's originally immature face seemed to suddenly become more mature. 】

[I don't know if this is his illusion. 】

...

"You will be the only pagan in this dome," Shadow said.

...

["Want to walk with me?" At this moment, she showed an almost wild smile. 】

[The lips raised suddenly, is the madness of a madman who is not afraid of life and death. 】

["...Then and I become the only pair of 'pagans' who are enemies of the world among these hundred people until their final death."]

...

Under the shadow's voice, Qian Qian's jet-black hair began to gradually turn white.

Her eyes began to fade, her five senses began to fade, and her bones became fragile...

Her remarkable talents were consecrated, her vital body weakened, her strength faded...

White hair like snow.

"Siebel." Shadow reached out and took her limp hand.

His bright red eyes stared at hers, which were beginning to fade from excessive weakness.

"...Since Baishen doesn't give you a chance.

Then believe in the Nine Gods. "

...

...

[On the first night of the dungeon, Su Mingan had a dream. 】

[He couldn't remember the specific plot of the dream, and he forgot what picture he saw, but when he woke up, he vaguely remembered that a familiar voice said a few words. 】

...

[Siebel,]

[...Since Baishen doesn't give you a chance. 】

[Then believe in the Nine Gods. 】

...

A touch of white light appeared on Qian Qian's body.

Her snow-white hair flowed like mercury, and her bright red robe fluttered in the fire.

She closed her eyes.

At this moment, a silent sense of majesty enveloped the area, and Su Mingan heard the wind like a whisper.

Sibel was just behind the smoke of that flame, vaguely looming. Fire-colored halo sprinkled down, through the smoke, like a layer of gauze draped over a frameless oil painting.

The edge of her figure is also a soft circle, with a sacred taste, although it is close to him, it is far away like a fragile dream.

At that moment, even her eyelashes looked clean and transparent.

...

"Aren't you very confused, why don't I fool more children and make them believe in the Nine Gods like Sibel?" Shadow's voice sounded in his ear.

Su Mingan nodded.

"If only it were that simple." Shadow laughed, lowered his head, and sorted out his clothes slowly.

His movements were very slow, but he burst out with a sentence that shocked Su Mingan.

"you guess,"

"How many times have I escaped from the fire with Sibel?"

Su Ming'an's pupils shrank slightly.

Emotions poured out of his heart like a tide, filling his chest.

"Reincarnation, the authority of the Nine Gods." Shadow looked at him:

"I, after choosing Sibel, tried various methods to make her believe in the Nine Gods...

Then, I failed three hundred and twenty-six times. "

"Three hundred and twenty-six times." Su Mingan repeated.

"Yeah. Baishen's belief rule is too strong, too strong. If I want to fight under such a rule, I am fully prepared for failure." Shadow said:

"During these reincarnations, at times, I was distrusted by her and was driven out of the house by her.

Sometimes, when I failed to save her, she was thrown into lava and died.

Sometimes she even died as a child and I didn't get to see her grow up successfully.

After failing so many times, it suddenly dawned on me that it was impossible to succeed. My current status is just a weak orphan, the restart time is my only authority, I can't learn martial arts, I don't have the ability brought by the curse, I have no power to bind the chicken, no matter how many times I restart, I can't let her live. "

Shadow said, and opened his arms:

"So, after thinking about it, I paid a little 'price' and added a little variable to this reincarnation."

"Is that just me?" Su Mingan said.

"Yes." Shadow said, "I brought you over from the future. This time, as a variable, you successfully rescued Qian Qian and made her believe in the Nine Gods. This three hundred and twenty-seventh time... I succeeded."

He said with a relieved smile on his face. Like a trekker who has made a difficult journey, he has finally reached the end of his journey.

"Yes." Su Mingan said:

"……you made it."

After reincarnation so many times and backtracking so many times, the shadow succeeded.

Shadow achieves his goals and realizes his beliefs.

In the face of the final victory, the shadow can finally bury him in the bottom of his heart, revealing the entire experience of three hundred and twenty-six reincarnations.

... what about him?

In the future, there will be such a person who can hear his experiences that he no longer hides, and can say to him at the moment when he finally succeeds, "Have you succeeded?"

The power of shadow "reincarnation" is indeed weaker than Su Ming'an's reversal. The shadow can only go back to the time of the dungeon of the sky, but Su Mingan can go back to the time that includes the dungeon, the world of the main god, and even the high-dimensional creatures.

The shadow kept retracing in the dungeon, and it was the dungeon background of the eighth world vault. The shadow was still under the control of the world game, and the audience was not retraced with him.

However, Su Ming'an was able to keep backtracking outside the dungeon, backtracking to the world game itself, including the audience and high-dimensional creatures.

It seemed that he was far above the shadows.

...But who would dare to say that "World Game" itself...isn't a copy?

If, in the eyes of higher dimensions, he is also another "shadow"...

"What are you thinking?" Shadow suddenly said, interrupting his thinking.

"I'm thinking..." Su Ming'an immediately changed the subject and looked at Sibel with white hair fluttering, "Is Jiu Shen going to wake up?"

"No, it's not enough for Sibel to be a child. She can't really wake up Nine Gods, but she can reluctantly emphasize the power of Lord Nine Gods in the future." Shadow said: "I just want to bury a piece of belonging in people's hearts. The seed of the Nine Gods, I hope Sibel can fully exert the power that the Nine Gods gave her in the future, so that people can believe that the Nine Gods can protect them."

Su Mingan suddenly remembered.

Sibel said her goal was to become a god.

Then, after becoming a god, she can call on people to change their beliefs, so as to truly help Jiu Shen.

... This is an investment by Nine Gods in her.

No wonder.

From before, to after, from the past to the future, all the information he has seen...

Everything was connected~lightnovelpub.net~ The shock like a tide surged in his heart, like a dizzy.

Pictures from the past appeared in his mind, and his mind was extremely clear at this time.

...

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

[Siebel raises his eyelids. 】

[There is an extraordinary wildness in her eyes, reminiscent of grasslands and lurking wolves. 】

[Under the pitch-black, twisted sky, she stood in front of him in a red robe, like a lively flame burning violently. 】

[Like an inextinguishable torch standing in the darkness. 】

["...become a god," she said. 】

...
