This was indeed a crazy idea, and coincidentally, Arceus was also a crazy person.
To snatch such a divine gift from the "director" was actually to catch Him off guard; the same thing could not happen a second time.
But why need a second time?
[Director] Arthas only possesses nine parts of divinity now; he only needs to wait quietly for Arthas to collapse on his own.
Being a substitute god is a high-risk profession. For example, Xiao Yan and Yuri could immediately end their lives if they said something they shouldn't. Fortunately, Arceus timed things well. The director was busy maintaining his own divinity and didn't have time to put a restriction on him.
[Director] Although he can no longer manipulate the stars, Earth, and time on the planet Blue, he can create a supernatural world and control time within it, thus maintaining his divine position.
But He cannot do that, which would mean He would stay inside forever and never come out again. Once He comes out, it will be the time when His divine position collapses.
The sun shone as expected the next day.
"Let's go! Let's take care of the last bit of trouble!"
Although Gwen is gone now, Jiang Ran's mental energy has been fully restored, and he has so many methods at his disposal that the three opponents have no chance of escaping!
Judging from the fact that Xiao Yan was able to immediately use [Lost] on them at the second restart point, their location must not be far from the hotel!
“It’s reset again…” Xiao Yan smiled. “It seems Jiang Ran isn’t as strong as I thought. Let’s see if he can win this round.”
Song Yang, however, was not happy at all; his expression was rather strange.
Because he received a telepathic message from the Night Wanderer—
"[Director] I want you to kill Xiao Yan. Whether you do it or not is up to you."
He chose it himself? Why give him the choice? What is the real meaning of "Night Wanderer"?
If the Night Wanderer directly orders Song Yang to kill Xiao Yan, it proves that the situation has become so urgent that he will act immediately without having time to think!
But since he was given a choice, it meant that Song Yang was given time to think, and it was often this time that could cause some changes in the situation.
This is a miracle from [Remnant Dream]!
Jiang Ran used [Remnant Dream] to forcibly change Xiao Yan's position to be in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was a living person. At least he didn't have to go through the trouble of reviving him again.
Xiao Yan was still in a daze. He had just realized what was happening and wanted to use [Lost] to fight back when he met Arceus's gaze!
This is a miracle from [body possession]!
In an instant, Xiao Yan felt something invade his mind, and he quickly gritted his teeth to resist!
"What exactly is going on?"
Jiang Ran raised his hand: "Don't worry, Arceus, your possession will definitely 'succeed'."
This is a miracle from the Wheel of Fortune!
Xiao Yan lost his composure and was subsequently obliterated. Once a person is possessed, it is essentially the same as being dead. However, judging from the situation of the "director" possessing Ye Ye in the previous cycle, possession does not lead to the loss of divinity.
Thus, Arceus took over Xiao Yan's body and the [Lost] divinity.
Unfortunately, [Body Possession] can only occupy one person's body at a time, and there's no way to collect divinity multiple times using this method.
Instead of trying to persuade Xiao Yan to surrender, it would be better to take control of this force ourselves!
"Looks like we're doomed."
Song Yang simply crossed his legs and lay down on the ground, while Jiang Bowen remained silent.
After a while, Song Yang got up and walked onto the street.
"What are you going there for, to die?"
"No, this is my only way to survive."
On the other side, Jiang Ran first went to the claw machine to rescue Gwen, and then used Gwen's abilities to find the others.
Not long after, Song Yang, with his hands in his pockets, walked up to them.
"Hey, we're old friends, don't look at me like that!"
"Who said we're old friends?" Yamashiro raised his shotgun and pointed it at him. "What are you doing here, coming to your death?"
Jiang Ran was also a little puzzled. Was Song Yang giving up? He actually dared to walk right up to them. Did he think that if he said a few nice words, Jiang Ran would let him off?
“I’m not here to see you.” Song Yang pulled a slip of paper from his pocket and tossed it to Arceus. “I’m here to see him.”
Arceus caught the note, and saw two paragraphs written on it—
The ascension ritual of [Possession]: Possess the body of another divine being and then complete the corresponding ascension ritual.
The [Lost] Rituals to Become God: To make a place that is deeply remembered by most people disappear forever, and to make all those who were once in that place forget its existence.
By sending out this note, Song Yang had already made his intentions quite clear.
He smiled and said, "What the person behind me means is that as long as there's a director, it's fine; He doesn't care who the director is."
"People always change, and so do gods."
He then made a face and said, "You can't hit me anymore, or I'll sue you for assaulting a minor!"
"Well then, goodbye, well, perhaps it's goodbye forever."
The Night Wanderer is on the Director's side, and Song Yang represents His will. Therefore, if they attack Song Yang now, it would be tantamount to rejecting the Night Wanderer's goodwill.
Of course, whether the Night Wanderer truly has good intentions remains to be seen.
Song Yang slowly left, and this time, no one tried to stop him.
The Night Wanderer severed Song Yang's connection with Tian Guang Town. From now on, Song Yang is no longer a resident of Tian Guang Town, and whatever happens to Tian Guang Town is none of his concern.
The images left by the Wheel of Fate have already told Jiang Ran about the godhood ritual, so it doesn't matter if the director is lying to him. However, in order to reclaim the divinity in Jiang Bowen, Jiang Ran still has to go through Tianguang Town.
"This time, no one can stop us!"
"Prepare eight sets of materials, and eight groups will proceed to their respective locations. We will repeat the process from last time!"
The residents of Tianguang Town all looked up. Why were people setting off fireworks in broad daylight?
"Ten, nine, eight..."
A burst of intense light shot into the sky from the mayor's house!
The residents of Tianguang Town vanished in the light, including Jiang Bowen, who slowly watched his body turn into a stream of light and disappear into the air.
"Ugh, what a terrible life."
Tianguang Town, cleared!
Jiang Ran currently possesses divinity—
Core Divinity: [Wheel of Fortune]
Branch Divinity: [The Hanged Man], [Lingering Dream], [Demon God]
