Chapter 251
No one knew how to break the time freeze, so in the end, many players were waiting for death in peace.
There weren't actually that many Easter egg coins in Yitu's account. If Jiang Hanyu hadn't had the foresight to help him earn a lot of coins, he would have been able to reach level six ahead of time.
Otherwise, when that day really comes, it will be too late.
Since the life status of all players is frozen at the second before the fifth day, as long as the injury is not fatal, they will recover quickly after leaving the battle.
There were no more meaningless fights between players, and to some extent, this day could be considered a happy and peaceful day.
Except for players who do not have enough Easter Egg Coins to reach level 6, they can only collapse or die in silence.
Not long after Yitu became the second son of God, Ariel, the Son of Light, came to him.
Although he didn't know Ariel's intention in coming here, the moment their eyes met, some things were already unspoken.
He is not the only one who knows the secret of the origin of the gambler's game.
Ariel must have seen something during the God's Trial, but it might not be the same as what Yitu saw in the past.
Since Jiang Hanyu was present, Ariel did not speak first, but instead tried to get him to avoid the topic in a suggestive way.
Yitu was unsure, secretly hooking her finger with the man's, but on the surface, she smiled seriously at Ariel and said:
"He is my lover, just say whatever you want to say."
Ariel frowned slightly. In her opinion, Jiang Hanyu had no right to stay here, even though he was just quietly listening to their conversation.
However, Yitu had already expressed his attitude, so Ariel couldn't have any more opinions. After all, the strength of the Son of God increased with the passage of time.
"I guess you know something..." Ariel pondered for a moment, then spoke carefully:
"Quentin created the Easter egg game and left the only way out in this game."
"Once the seven days are up, the gods will truly descend. If we cannot replace them, the outcome will be self-evident."
After hearing this, Yitu's expression didn't change much:
"Is this the game guide you saw in the Trial of Light?"
Ariel was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that this person could guess so accurately.
"good."
"In seven days, the seven gods of light, darkness, and fate will truly descend. Our only hope of survival is to take their place."
What Ariel said was a secret that no player had ever known.
Because the system had never revealed such a signal to anyone, even Yitu didn't know what the method to pass the level was before.
But now, Ariel said it so confidently, that the only source must be from the trial of the gods.
"You don't know yet."
Seeing that Yitu didn't react much, Ariel, who had almost no emotion, had a flicker in her eyes.
She said in a slightly complicated tone:
"The seven creation gods we see now are not gods at all."
"Instead, they are seven players who, like us, have reached this point before."
"Although I don't know what their final outcome will be, I know... I'm sure you also know that the winner of this game has the right to ask M to end everything."
After hearing Ariel's words, Yitu thought for a while before slowly replying:
"I heard a little bit."
Ariel's brows deepened. She was not satisfied with Yi Tu's speed of answer, nor was she satisfied with Yi Tu's perfunctory attitude.
But at this moment, she really had no more choices or information to exchange.
"So what did you see in the death trial?"
"Seven gods, we have only one chance to choose: either ascend to power by stepping on the corpses of the gods, or... become the ghosts who blaspheme the gods."
Yitu looked at Ariel and said with some regret:
"Sorry, I don't have the answer you want."
"I was in death and saw only death."
Ariel was stunned when she heard this, and it took her a while to accept this fact.
"I hope you didn't lie to me."
After saying this, Ariel was silent for a moment and then couldn't help but say:
"Perhaps death is the only way home."
Yi Tu did not respond, but just held Jiang Hanyu's hand tightly.
Until Ariel left, Jiang Hanyu did not express any opinion on their conversation.
This made Yitu feel a little strange, so he had to ask:
"What do you think? The gods' carnival will begin seven days later."
Jiang Hanyu looked at the sun setting outside the window, and suddenly turned to Yi Tu and said:
"She's right."
"What?" Yitu was stunned.
Jiang Hanyu shook his head. "Becoming the son of a god only gives you a portion of the god's power."
"If you want to truly kill a god, what do you think the chances of success are? Or for an ordinary person like me?"
Yitu's eyes widened and he immediately retorted:
"You are not an ordinary person!"
Jiang Hanyu was pleased by his reaction. He pinched his lover's face and said with a smile:
"That's because of your preference. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be qualified to know this."
Jiang Hanyu like this made Yi Tu feel a little at a loss. He never felt that men were weaker than himself, or even inferior to others. Such labels were never used to define Jiang Hanyu.
"Do you want to..." Yi Tu seemed to have guessed something.
This time, Jiang Hanyu did not dodge at all. He said to Yi Tu:
"You have to try."
Try it, what a light word.
In less than a day, the two people's positions were completely reversed.
He now also felt the helplessness and panic that Jiang Hanyu had once felt. It took Yitu a while to find his voice again:
"Which day?"
Jiang Hanyu said: "If I say it's this day, will you..."
Yitu was shocked and looked at his lover in disbelief.
"You...you, it's because of the conversation I had with Ariel just now that you had this idea, right?"
You must know that those who are chosen by God as the Son of God will feel the call of God's trial at the first moment.
But when this day came, Jiang Hanyu acted as if nothing had happened.
Maybe it was to reassure Yitu, or maybe he didn't have such an idea.
But just now, while he was talking with Ariel, Jiang Hanyu thought a lot.
Yitu has become the son of God. Even though it is a bit embarrassing, he has to admit that at this moment, Yitu's strength is far above his.
This means....it means Yitu no longer needs his protection.
And he might even become a burden to Yitu.
If we can't fight side by side, no matter how deep the love is, it will become a burden.
Jiang Hanyu is not a coward. He is not afraid to face it. He even admits it frankly in front of Yi Tu.
But I still feel heartbroken under the condemning and sad gaze of my lover.
After a long silence, Yitu finally spoke:
"OK."
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back just like you waited for me."
When Yi Tu said this, he looked dazed, even though he was trying hard to convince himself that Jiang Hanyu was not weak and that the probability of his success was extremely high.
Jiang Hanyu walked forward, hugged Yi Tu, and whispered in his ear:
"It's okay, I'll be back, don't worry."
"How could I leave you?"
The man kissed Yitu's slightly red eyes, then took his hand and handed him his ID card.
Yitu touched the card which was still warm. The Spade King who looked very much like Jiang Hanyu gave him a stiff smile. It was obvious that he was trying his best to please his master at his request.
"Let him accompany you. I'll be back soon."
Jiang Hanyu said this in a very relaxed tone, as if he had just gone out for a walk.
Yitu was reluctant to let go of his hand and stared at him for another affirmative answer.
"You'll definitely come back, right?"
The man touched his hair and answered very seriously:
"Don't worry, baby, we will definitely meet again."
An hour after Jiang Hanyu left, Xiang Mingjue and Xiao Feng found him.
Not seeing Jiang Hanyu, Xiang Mingjue seemed to be lost in thought:
“It can’t be…”
Yitu gave him a cold look and didn't want to answer the question.
Xiang Mingjue understood and asked, "Why didn't you stop it?"
Yitu smiled bitterly, "Who am I to stop you?"
He knew very well that with Jiang Hanyu's arrogant personality, how could he be willing to be inferior to others?
Or, will I really wait until the day when the gods descend and become a coward who needs Yi Tu's protection everywhere?
Xiang Mingjue frowned, "Xiao Jiang is arrogant, and he might be doing this for your sake. It's not a bad thing, but it's not a good thing either."
Yitu didn't want to say more, so he told him what Ariel had said.
He is not Ariel, and his personality seems to have changed after becoming the son of God.
In his opinion, Xiang Mingjue and any other friend are of equal status.
After Xiang Mingjue knew about this, he didn't react much.
As if he had seen the ending, he said:
"Actually, I was one of the players chosen that fateful day, but I didn't go."
Yitu looked at him, waiting for what to say next.
Xiang Mingjue continued:
"You know my cards are somewhat special. They contain cause and effect, and can also provide insight into the future that we only partially understand."
"I don't see any way to survive here."
Xiang Mingjue looked into Yitu's eyes and said:
"You know what? There hasn't been a God's Trial yet, and there may not be one in the future."
Yitu frowned, "If that's the case, then it would be meaningless."
Xiang Mingjue smiled slightly, "Not everything needs meaning to exist."
"Meaning is defined by humans, it's something we give to things. Something that is divorced from human nature has no meaning at all."
Yitu stood there in a daze. He thought of Mr. M who controlled the entire game. The one who controlled all this was just an AI made up of a bunch of data.
Yes, meaning is given by humans. Without humanity, meaning will no longer exist.
Xiang Mingjue stayed with Yi Tu until the sun set, and then it was deep dark night.
Yitu was really absent-minded, and the communication between the two of them only consisted of Yitu's brief responses.
It was not until after eleven o'clock at night that the system's announcement finally came.
The author has something to say:
I won't have a holiday on May Day. I will work overtime until the 4th. I will have time to write on the 4th. Please wait for me.
