"Time is a concept without wisdom, so it can be easily controlled by divinity. But life is a sentient being, and we must pour our emotions into it. Even animals have emotions, let alone humans."
"But how much of our humanity is left? I'm afraid it's been worn down long ago."
"You've told me so much today, are you planning to do something?"
“Hmm.” [Wheel of Fate] nodded. “I intend to disintegrate myself and let divinity fall back into the earth.”
"break down?"
To the gods, what difference is there between this and suicide?
"I intend to create a unique path to divinity for these children! A path to divinity that doesn't require the erosion of humanity! That is the true God!"
"I created a world called Blue Star. I am ashamed to say that even with all my power, I can only simulate the intelligence of normal humans and cannot create those true geniuses."
"I will let part of my divinity scatter across Blue Star, to coexist with the children I created, and part of it scatter across Earth, to merge with real humans. I need you to summon the possessors of divinity scattered on Earth to Blue Star at the right time, so that a bridge can be built between the two worlds. In this way, under the chaotic divinity, the other gods will not be able to manipulate time unless they all join forces!"
"Help me, world, initiate the true ascension ritual!"
"I've almost forgotten what the world is called. Even if your plan succeeds, it won't be you who returns!"
“If we want to take that step, we must embrace more humanity. I have lost that right, so let those who are more qualified take it.”
"World, don't let shackles bind your world."

At this point, a portion of the world-building for this book has finally been revealed. The previous hints were just the tip of the iceberg, but in reality, there are still many plot holes to be filled. These four chapters, while filling in some holes, have also introduced some new ones ( ̄▽ ̄).
Our entire early-to-mid-game storyline in the Strange Tales world has come to an end! I officially announce that Jiang Ran has finally left the beginner's village! Haha!
The difficulty of Jiang Ran's adventure will increase dramatically from now on. I know that for most people, this SSS-level world may not be as difficult as they imagined. Of course, this world is just a stepping stone. The dungeons that Jiang Ran will be fighting next are the result of my careful consideration and multiple speculations. They are not just simple difficulties, but extremely complex ones!
I often see other readers commenting on the issue of our book being intellectually inferior, which I can understand. The descriptions of the ghost storytellers from other countries in the early stages were a bit rushed. However, I had to write it that way because I didn't think it was necessary to spend so much time describing characters who were just cannon fodder. That would easily cause the main story to lose its focus, and I believe everyone would also not want to see Jiang Ran struggling to clear out a single soldier.
In terms of characters, Yamagami and Alex (Yang Kaixu) are two pieces I've planted quite deep. They play a very important role in the later stages. I won't spoil their specific uses, but anyway, none of the time travelers are easy to deal with.
Okay, let's celebrate!
Volume One, The World of Ghost Stories, End.
Volume Two, The Wheel of Fortune, Begins!
