Jiang Ran gave him a thumbs up.
"Based on what you just said, you're not a bad person."
"I am truly honored to receive your praise," Yang Kaixu smiled. "My wish is very simple: I hope for world peace and the absence of conflict."
Have you misunderstood the meaning of "simple"?
“It’s not easy to do that.”
“That’s why I need ‘believers.’” Yang Kaixu clenched his hands and made a praying gesture. “As long as everyone believes that a world without conflict will eventually come, then it really will come.”
"This is not just my effort, but the result of everyone's hard work!"
"What if someone doesn't believe it?"
“Then let’s try to persuade and convince them first. If that doesn’t work—” Yang Kaixu smiled, “then we’ll prune away the useless leaves on the branches.”
“Every society has parasites, so I will be the one to exterminate them.”
Yang Kaixu's ideals are indeed beautiful, but they are beautiful because they are under his control. He wants to be the dictator and the judge. Everyone else is an earthly person, while he is a god high above!
God will not allow anyone's power to surpass His, nor will He allow anyone to threaten His position.
In God's eyes, this is a hidden danger, a hidden danger that could destabilize the situation!
The emperor loves his people, but he also fears that they will overthrow his rule.
God loves his believers, yet he also fears that they might bring him down from his pedestal.
Yang Kaixu arrived at the square. With the news of the church spreading, a large number of believers had gathered around. Song Di placed his mother's body in front of Yang Kaixu and offered a devout prayer.
"Master, I will forever dedicate my faith!"
In front of everyone, Yang Kaixu gently raised his hands and then closed his eyes.
There were no complicated rituals, no tongue-twisting prayers, and not even any dazzling special effects.
Song Di's mother stood up from the ground and knelt in front of Yang Kaixu, praying continuously!
"Thank you, God who walks among men!"
A deafening cheer erupted from the crowd, and prayers filled the air. Yang Kaixu, escorted by the bishops, made his way through the crowd back into the church, and Jiang Ran naturally followed immediately!
He was thinking about something: how to get out of Yang Kaixu's dream?
The man's dream was to achieve immortality, but after he achieved immortality, his dream shattered.
Alansta's dream was to become the world's number one ghost storyteller, but Jiang Ran slapped him twice in his dream, shattering his dream and breaking the dream itself.
Gwen's dream also disappeared after her wish to hear a story was granted. Therefore, we can conclude that fulfilling or breaking a wish can lead to leaving the dream.
But Yang Kaixu's dream should have already come true. He has become the high and mighty leader of the church, created his own utopia, and has countless believers.
What else could he possibly be dissatisfied with?
Yang Kaixu dismissed all the bishops and stayed alone in the same room with Jiang Ran.
Why did you come back to find me?
Jiang Ran sat opposite Yang Kaixu, smiling without saying a word, but actually pondering the meaning behind Yang Kaixu's words.
Yes, what role do I play in his dream?
In Planck's dream, Jiang Ran is one of his crew members; in Alanstar's dream, he is the world's third most mysterious storyteller; and in Gwen's dream, he is her vice-captain.
So who is he in Yang Kaixu's dream?
"So, now that you're back—" A murderous glint suddenly flashed in Yang Kaixu's eyes, "does that mean you're going to settle things with me in the end?"
Jiang Ran now knew what role she was playing.
In Yang Kaixu's dream, he was Yang Kaixu's enemy!
Yang Kaixu was not content to be just a god walking on the ground; he wanted to be a true god, a god of the stars!
Therefore, his ultimate wish is to kill Jiang Ran, plunder all the divinity, and then use his own godhood ritual to become a "true god" in one fell swoop!
Sure enough, although he didn't know why Yang Kaixu was helping Jiang Ran in Tianguang Town, deep down, his goal had never changed!
"This is a church. Do you know how many people believe I possess the power to destroy the world?" Yang Kaixu grinned. "You actually dare to come here to find me. Should I say you're confident or reckless?"
"Here, I am God!"
Yang Kaixu's eyes narrowed, and Jiang Ran felt that the space around him was completely sealed off, and he himself could not move. Cracks began to appear on his body, as if he was being torn apart by space!
"I only trust myself, so I want to be the only one who controls the order!"
"What God, what Buddha? Show me what miracles they have! They're useless in crucial moments. What's the point of having such a god?!"
"I might as well be the god myself!"
This is a miracle from faith!
First came the spatial blockade, then the spatial tearing. Jiang Ran chuckled. This guy clearly wanted to kill him instantly, leaving him no chance at all!
This is a miracle from the Wheel of Fortune!
Jiang Ran quickly detached from the space. With the Wheel of Fate activated, any negative effects targeting Jiang Ran would inevitably fail. However, to offset these effects, one would need to expend an equivalent amount of mental energy.
Yang Kaixu's sudden attack was swift and fierce, and Jiang Ran had to forcibly consume his mental energy to counteract the effect of [Faith]. If he hadn't recovered his mental energy in Gwen's dream earlier, he really wouldn't be able to do it now!
Yang Kaixu! You dream about killing him, don't you!
I love killing people in my dreams!
The mountain god summoned a large number of vines and carried Jiang Ran through an underground tunnel, instantly disappearing away!
Yang Kaixu raised his hand and looked at his palm.
"Jiang Ran really is like a slippery eel."
"Master! What happened?!"
Hearing a loud noise coming from inside the room, the bishops rushed over to inquire, but Yang Kaixu had closed the door and they couldn't open it no matter what they did.
"It's alright," Yang Kaixu replied softly. "There was just one overconfident little assassin, but I've already subdued him. Just tell the others this news and put their minds at ease."
"yes!"
Jiang Ran, walking through the fields, sensed something was wrong. Yang Kaixu was determined to kill him! Why wasn't he chasing after him?
No! He doesn't need to chase after him at all!
Given Yang Kaixu's prestige here, he only needs to casually leak information to make others believe that Jiang Ran has been captured by him, and then Jiang Ran will "really" be captured by him.
There's no other way but to cheat!
"Mountain God! Quick! Let's rush to the plaza!"
Since Yang Kaixu wants to rely on this "belief", then Jiang Ran will shatter this "belief"!
