Jiang Bowen has always been clear about his role.
It seems that he is now working for the "director" and is partners with Song Yang and Xiao Yan, but that's not actually the case at all!
He was a dead man from the very beginning. No one thought he could live to the end, because no matter whose arrangement it was, he was destined to die.
If Jiang Ran's side wins in the end, regardless of whether Jiang Bowen dies at his hands or whether his divinity is recovered or lost, the human being who is Jiang Bowen cannot escape the fate of death.
If Song Yang's side wins in the end, and he steals Jiang Ran's destiny, he will become Jiang Ran. In order to reclaim the divinity in Jiang Bowen, he will still choose to kill Jiang Bowen, because the other method is too troublesome, and the director will not choose it.
The key point is that he didn't even have a chance to struggle.
Even if he killed Jiang Ran with his own hands, he would not be able to obtain the core divinity, because the entire Tianguang Town would be restarted as a result. The director does not need the core divinity to be transferred from one fallen god to another. He does not want Jiang Bowen to become the second Jiang Ran.
Therefore, the path the director arranged for Jiang Bowen was a dead end, a dead end with no chance of survival. No matter which branch he chose, he would reach the end of death.
In the game of Tianguang Town, everyone has their own goals, everyone has their own shining points, and everyone is the protagonist. Only he, Jiang Bowen, is a clown. He has no purpose, goes with the flow, and doesn't even have any achievements.
From the moment he was born, after he gained a portion of the divinity of the Wheel of Fortune, it was as if he had offended everyone in the world. Everyone wanted him dead and didn't even give him a chance to back down.
His life was preordained: to become a ghost storyteller, then awaken the "miracle," and later, in a ghost story world, to be deceived by the "director" and make a pact with Him.
Jiang Bowen thought he lost to the "director" in that game because he made a wrong move, but now that he thinks about it, he had already lost from the moment he was born.
In this life, there are many times when we are not in control of our own destiny. Fate pushes us forward, but when fate is not on our side, the feeling of despair is like a drowning person struggling and floundering until they can only sink to the bottom.
It's not that Jiang Bowen can choose which side to stand on.
He was a lure, a bait to tether Jiang Ran to Tianguang Town.
A mere ascension ritual is not enough for Jiang Ran to take too much risk, because it is not only known to the [Director]. If Tian Guangzhen's strategy is too difficult, Jiang Ran can simply abandon it and go to other gods to ask for the method of the ascension ritual.
Jiang Bowen is the biggest bait in Tianguang Town. If Jiang Ran wants to reclaim his divine essence, he must come to Tianguang Town in person to kill him. Then he must clear the entire Tianguang Town and prevent it from restarting, thus completely cutting off his chance of resurrection. Only then can he be considered completely killed.
In other words, Jiang Ran must clear the entire Tianguang Town if he wants to obtain this divine essence. That is the only reason Jiang Bowen is here.
Having lost his fighting ability, Jiang Bowen could only watch silently as Jiang Ran plunged the blade into his chest.
Jiang Ran is a very sentimental person, but he is by no means a saint. He would rather give up his divinity than kill his companions, but he never shows mercy to his enemies!
Jiang Bowen felt his life slipping away. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have such feelings, because Jiang Ran was very likely to die in the next phase of the campaign, and they could be resurrected again to start the next round of the game.
Having learned their lesson in this round, Xiao Yan and Song Yang will undoubtedly be more cautious in the next cycle. Stimulated by the pain, Jiang Bowen's thinking actually became more active!
What exactly does the director want to do? Does he want Song Yang to steal Jiang Ran's fate? That might be one of his goals, but a qualified director never prepares just one script. He has a backup plan. Who is his backup plan?
Jiang Bowen's gaze swept over the group of people in front of him. How did Jiang Ran manage to defeat them so quickly? It was this team, wasn't it?
Is this team a cohesive unit?
Unfortunately, that's not the case.
Jiang Bowen closed his eyes. With that, all three men sent by the director to Tianguang Town were finally dead, at least in this cycle. As for whether they would have another chance, that remains to be seen.
"Xiao Yan is the proxy god of the [Director], Jiang Bowen is the fallen god, and judging from Song Yang's attitude, he's definitely not the fallen god; he must be the proxy god of another deity. That's why he wanted to steal my identity..."
Among the gods currently on Jiang Ran's side, the one who has clearly stated his stance is [Shackles]. If His words are true, then there is also [The Pope]. However, Jiang Ran is skeptical, neither completely believing nor directly denying.
[The Great Sin] should have goodwill towards him, but Jiang Ran cannot be completely sure. There are at least two opposing gods: one is [The Director], and the other is the god corresponding to Song Yang.
Jiang Ran had no idea why these gods didn't directly cross time to deal with him. He could only explain it by the fact that the other gods were restraining each other, so none of them could make a move.
"Alright, the troublesome guy has been taken care of."
"Next, let's continue our strategy for conquering Tianguang Town!"
Jiang Ran turned to look at everyone, seemingly celebrating her victory, but she was actually thinking about something else.
The others are all old acquaintances, so there's no need to say more. Liu Xia and the other two are just ghost storytellers and weren't originally involved; they were just accidentally dragged into it. However, the identities of two of them are worth pondering.
Yang Hai possesses a "miracle," so there are only two possibilities for his identity: is he a fallen god or a substitute god? What is his purpose? If he is a substitute god, who is the god he corresponds to?
Ye Ye also possesses a [Divine Miracle]. Is he a Fallen God or a Substitute God? If he is a Fallen God, he couldn't possibly be unaware of his [Divine Miracle], because he should have been able to sense its power when he awakened it. But if he is a Substitute God, he should never have met the god he corresponds to!
In other words, the "miracle" on him was forcibly given to him by the person above him. So at this point, Jiang Ran should not be considering whether Ye Ye is an enemy, but rather what the person behind him is really thinking!
Looking at the group in front of him, at this combination of various forces, Jiang Ran wasn't foolish enough to think they would all revolve around him. The sheer number of people didn't make him feel relaxed; instead, he felt a faint sense of pressure.
