The fine black powder floating in the air gathered together slightly, forming a small patch of faint black mist.
The fog seemed to carry some kind of message as it dissipated in the wind.
Or perhaps it was carried by the flowing wind to a certain place, establishing a connection with it.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe, who was still on a small island with Alice, seemed to have a premonition.
He opened his left palm, and then a small patch of black mist emerged from his palm.
Gu Xinghe could sense that Vivian and Fionn were using the two coins he had given them to establish some kind of connection with him.
Moreover, the connection that has now been established is based on the "withering" tentacles that Gu Xinghe had previously given to his partner, serving as a positioning and medium.
However, the dialogues and connections made through this are not the same.
Because at this time, Gu Xinghe had established a connection with Vivian and Fionn.
He clearly realized that the perspective from which he was now seeing and observing these two people was "higher".
In fact, this "high" does not seem to be height in the physical sense.
Gu Xinghe felt somewhat like he was in a player's live stream, from the perspective of a camera that they couldn't see with the naked eye.
And through the connection that Vivian and Fionn have now established with him using coins.
Gu Xinghe "saw" their current state at this moment.
And what's happening on the island they're currently on.
Although when he gave the two coins, he originally intended to use them to observe the sea monsters.
What exactly were they planning to do with the survivors on the Ocean Oasis?
But now, even after the coins he gave to the two of them have completely broken.
It was through this that Vivian and Fionn finally established contact with him.
Gu Xinghe then learned that a game of predator and prey, resembling a survival game, was taking place on that island.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been so difficult for Weaving and Fionn to establish contact with him.
Because the power within the coin was personally infused by him, and he personally gifted it to the two of them.
But at this moment, Gu Xinghe remembered when he had infused power into the coin.
What he casually poured into it could not be absorbed by him.
The impurities of the Thorn Goddess's power continued to wreak havoc inside his body.
This impurity became entangled with his power.
After the power of the Goddess of Thorns, namely [misfortune], was exhausted, the coin was able to shatter.
A kind of power representing hope and miracles that emerged from despair, representing Gu Xinghe, appeared.
After the suffering, the Milky Way will appear.
This seems to be the new doctrine that Teresa had been advocating for reform within the existing doctrines of the Thorn Cult.
At this point, this kind of deed seemed to be embodied in Vivian and Fionnant.
At this point, after establishing contact with Weaving and Fionn, and sensing their state.
With Gu Xinghe's consent, he sensed that a portion of his power had been "exchanged".
The power that was exchanged cannot be recovered as quickly as usual; it takes some time to be fully replenished.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe felt a little listless and his body seemed to feel a bit tired.
For him now, this seems somewhat like an "equivalent exchange".
Now, what has been exchanged for him is a substance that is difficult to describe accurately in words.
It was a colorless and transparent substance, but it was dotted with starlight-like specks of light.
It gives the impression that you only need to see these [materials] to feel like you've seen them.
It inevitably evokes the concept of "hope".
At this moment, Gu Xinghe didn't think too much about it.
Because this [substance] was "swallowed" into his body.
He still had plenty of time and opportunities to study it gradually after that.
But now, at this moment, he believes that what is more urgent is—
He had a strong desire to establish a connection with Weaving and Fionn.
It felt like I was right there where the other person was.
But at the same time, he also sensed a faint restriction around the island they were on.
It's like the spatial teleportation restriction that existed at St. George's University back then.
This prevents outsiders from teleporting in and insiders from teleporting out.
But at this moment, a strange light flickered in Gu Xinghe's eyes.
The way Vivian and Fionn are now contacting him, and the feeling he now has of wanting to "descend" to where they are.
This reminded him of several sacrificial rituals he had witnessed before, which, though presented differently, were essentially the same.
And if he has now clearly become the object of sacrifice—
So... is he a god?
But regardless of whether it is "becoming a god through faith" where a large number of believers develop faith in him and perform sacrifices to him.
Or are there other ways to become a god that exist in various dramas and stories?
Gu Xinghe clearly did not undergo any related "becoming a god" ritual.
Moreover, when he was at St. George's University, he only absorbed a small amount of the Thorn Goddess's essential power.
Although he had also absorbed the power of many special beings, his own life form gradually became unusual.
But he felt connected to these truly indescribable beings.
There should still be some distance and differences between them.
Or perhaps he is somewhat like those beings whose power gradually awakens after the stars return to their places?
Gu Xinghe felt that his guess was now very close to the truth.
What he "awakens" may be the essence of a power left over from his previous life or something that has always existed.
This essence is roughly related to "hope," but it is merely a starting point, not a means of gaining full power.
The essence of this power remains unchanged, both in the past and in the present.
Gu Xinghe felt that he had touched upon this matter, but his understanding of it was not particularly profound.
However, it is precisely because of the emergence of this force, which acts as a catalyst.
Therefore, he was able to hear Vivian and Fionnant establishing a connection with him, just as a believer establishes a connection with God.
He had previously witnessed a scene where Theresa, Field, and others appeared to be performing a ritual on him.
"Alice, let's get out of here."
Even though he couldn't descend directly, Gu Xinghe still wanted to see with his own eyes the current state of Vivian and Fionn.
"good."
Faced with Gu Xinghe's sudden request, Alice agreed without any hesitation.
