Jiang Ran took out two more water balloons and put them in his mouth. Then Xiao Yan discovered that the memories he had lost had returned!
Because Jiang Ran used [Remnant Dream] to forcibly alter reality and restore Xiao Yan's knowledge, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes: "How did you do that?"
Leaving aside why Jiang Ran was able to regain his human form, once Tian Guang Town is restarted, all the effects brought about by the [miracle] will disappear. So how did Jiang Ran suddenly acquire so many [miracles] that they could offset Song Yang's [theft]?
"Want to know? I won't tell you!"
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Alex's hand.
"I thought you wouldn't help them. Why are you helping Jiang Ran? I can't understand your reason for doing this. Why don't you untie me and fight with us?"
"Big brother, are you really going to poach our guy right in front of us?"
How will you know if you don't try?
"Alright, enough with the nonsense." Jiang Ran stared at Xiao Yan. "Next is my question-and-answer session. In the last cycle, what disease did we contract, and what caused it?"
Xiao Yan didn't want to answer, but was forced to explain because of the effect of the [Miracle]: "That's the hotel's hidden rule. As long as you enter the hotel, know that the old woman there died of an illness, and then see her again, you will be infected with an incurable, slow-death curse. All three conditions are indispensable. By the way, this only applies to humans."
Sure enough, in Jiang Ran's memory, he hadn't done anything else in the previous cycle, and only he and Aransta were affected, which matched Xiao Yan's explanation.
What exactly is the director's purpose?
“To create a god.” Xiao Yan calmly uttered an answer that Jiang Ran hadn’t expected, “He wants to bring the Wheel of Fate back to the Astral Plane, so that the twelve gods will no longer be missing!”
Ye Ye and the others were completely baffled by the answer, as if asking, "What are you talking about? What are the Twelve Gods?" Su Yu and Chen Qiuran exchanged glances, their eyes filled with utter naivety.
Only Alex's pupils suddenly contracted!
"Creating...gods?"
Was the director's entire plan to hone Jiang Ran's skills so he could become a god faster? What a ridiculous villain redemption charade!
"No, no... Is the 'Wheel of Fortune' that the director mentioned me?"
That's right, creating a god! But this divine position may not necessarily be inherited by Jiang Ran!
"It's you, but it's not you."
It's him, but it's not him?
Jiang Ran suddenly realized a possibility, and this made him feel a chill down his spine!
The one who is to inherit the Wheel of Fortune is "Jiang Ran", but in the "director's" plan, it is not Jiang Ran!
That's right. Since the corresponding divine position has already been occupied, the substitute god has no chance to become a god. However, there is one exception. Song Yang's "miracle" is "theft". He wants Song Yang to steal Jiang Ran's fate and fundamentally replace Jiang Ran's identity. So from this moment on, Song Yang is Jiang Ran, and his identity changes from substitute god to fallen god!
Having inherited the core divinity, Song Yang can naturally become a [True God] after collecting the other divinities and undergoing the corresponding godhood ritual!
However, while Jiang Ran's share of fate was transferred to Song Yang, Song Yang's own share of fate did not disappear. He still possessed the divinity that belonged to the substitute god. Under such circumstances, Jiang Ran dared not think any further about what the director could do with Song Yang!
As for Song Yang wanting to steal Jiang Ran's destiny, it's impossible for him in his current state. This involves the weight of destiny. As long as Jiang Ran's weight in the world is greater than Song Yang's, Song Yang will never be able to steal his destiny!
However, the weight of fate, such an elusive and mysterious issue, is not fixed from birth.
To give a simple example, between an emperor and a general, who has more power? But what if the emperor is a deposed ruler who is preparing to commit suicide, while the general is preparing to ascend the throne and become the new emperor?
Therefore, the weight of a person's fate changes with what they do! Just like Aransta, he outmaneuvered Song Yang in the last cycle, turning the other party from underestimating him to taking him seriously. In the eyes of the enemy, he became more important, so his weight naturally increased! Conversely, the weight of the one who was outmaneuvered will decrease accordingly.
In short, it's about asserting your presence in the face of fate.
The entire purpose of Tianguang Town is to constantly cause Jiang Ran to fail, weaken the weight of his destiny, and ultimately allow Song Yang to successfully steal his destiny!
"Phew—" Jiang Ran let out a long breath and gave Xiao Yan a thumbs up. "I have to say, you guys really know how to have fun!"
"But why should I stay in Tianguang Town?"
As long as he can rescue everyone else and obtain his own godhood ritual from Xiao Yan, then Jiang Ran has no reason to stay here any longer.
"Next question—" Jiang Ran leaned close to Xiao Yan's ear, "What is the ritual for me to become a god?"
After asking the question, Jiang Ran immediately used [Remnant Dream] to modify Xiao Yan's next words so that only he could hear them!
"I have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"That's right, the director didn't tell me about your corresponding ascension ritual from the beginning. In fact, he only told me about two ascension rituals from start to finish!"
Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly.
Damn! No wonder this guy wasn't flustered at all; he's a jack of all trades, master of none, and he didn't even know the most important information!
Jiang Ran's face immediately darkened.
"Don't be in such a hurry, you'll stay in Tianguang Town." Xiao Yan smiled slightly. "None of the three of us know about your ascension ritual, but it's hidden in Tianguang Town! As long as you can unlock all the secrets of Tianguang Town, you will definitely obtain the corresponding ascension ritual! Isn't that exciting? Haha, do you dare to play this game?"
If you win, you will receive the ritual to become a god; if you lose, your fate will be taken by Song Yang!
Of course, Jiang Ran could also choose to leave and not get involved in this mess.
Suddenly, Jiang Ran smiled.
"If I were afraid, I would have given up long ago. Why would I have entered the SSS-level ghost story world and come all the way here?"
"Since you say you know two rituals to become a god, why don't you tell me about the other one besides [Remnant Dream]?"
"What I'm going to talk about next is the initiation ritual of [faith]."
Faith? This must be Alex's miracle, right?
"After collecting divinity, the owner of [faith] needs to associate their name with 'god' and have their own followers. Then, they must fulfill the wishes of these followers. Finally, surrounded by their followers, they can proclaim themselves as gods! The more followers they have, the more wishes they can fulfill, and the better the effect of the ascension ritual."
