Jiang Ran vaguely saw a figure in her dream.
Jiang Ran couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, as if he were enveloped in a ball of light, but Jiang Ran felt an unparalleled sense of affinity, and didn't even need to make much judgment to know that he was not an enemy.
"Who are you--"
"The Wheel of Fortune?"
“Yes and no.” He nodded. “To be precise, I am just an image left behind by the Wheel of Fortune. I’m sorry, I don’t have much wisdom to talk to you, only some rigid knowledge. So I will talk and you will listen.”
"The fact that you can see me means that you have at least mastered the core divinity and two subordinate divinities. This also proves that you have embarked on the path of divinity and taken the first step."
"So regardless of whether you succeed in the end, let me consider you my successor for now."
"First, I need to confirm what your initial divinity is, that is, the first divinity you possess, because everyone who wants to become a god can only rely on their original divinity. Divinity acquired later cannot become your dominant force."
Hearing him say that, Jiang Ran suddenly realized that he had been thinking before that if he wanted to become a god, he must have already recovered all 11 parts of divinity. So, could he just choose one of the 11 rituals to become a god and complete it?
It seems that it's not that easy now. Does one have to acquire divinity in the beginning? Then Jiang Ran can only go through the [Wheel of Fate] ritual to become a god, and cannot go through [Remnant Dream] or [The Hanged Man].
"My initial divinity is the core divinity."
"The Wheel of Fate? It seems you are very lucky to have grasped the core divinity from the very beginning, and even more fortunate that it was not taken away by others."
"The ritual of becoming a god corresponding to the Wheel of Fortune is to manipulate the fate of a large number of out-of-control people in a place where one is out of control and oneself is out of control."
"The more people who manipulate your destiny, the better your ascension ritual will be. Please note that in this process you must be out of control and must take control of the destinies of others."
"If too many people break free from the destiny you have ordained for them, your godhood ritual will fail."
"ah?"
What does it mean to be in a place out of control, and to control the fate of others who are also out of control, even when you yourself are out of control?
This passage is rather convoluted and its meaning is unclear!
“I know you’re confused, but I won’t tell you exactly how to do it, because I don’t know either.” He smiled helplessly. “Because I didn’t become a god by collecting divinity, but by directly inheriting the divine position. Now that divinity is scattered, you certainly can’t follow my method.”
"Just take it literally, but remember one thing: failure is not terrible. You can fail countless times and just prepare again. But never force your way to godhood after failing!"
"There's no room for luck. If your ascension ritual fails, attempting to attain godhood will be certain death!"
Jiang Ran could also hear the seriousness in his words.
"Well... I have one more question!"
"Hmm, what's the problem?"
"For example, if someone was originally a fallen god, and then through some method expelled their divinity, while at the same time stealing a portion of the [Director's] subordinate divinity, which is not the divinity they initially possessed, but is the divinity corresponding to another god position, can this person use this divinity to become a god?"
"Huh?" He was taken aback. "I've never heard of such a situation before, but... it should be possible, since these two kinds of divinity are incompatible and shouldn't be able to affect each other."
"But I haven't tried it myself, so I still advise you to be cautious. However, what I'm more curious about is how you managed to snatch this divine essence from the [director]? Has He already become so corrupt?"
"Probably... I guess so." Jiang Ran smiled awkwardly. "By the way, I have another question!"
"So, since there's only one core artifact of the Wheel of Fate, it should only correspond to one type of authority. What happened to my previous 'fate'?"
“Oh, you mean this?” he explained. “The power of fate, to be precise, is neither an authority nor a miracle.”
"It's essentially an ultimate Frankenstein's monster skill that I created by using [Remnant Dream] to distort [Water Mirror] and then borrowing some power from other gods!"
"Because awakening core divinity is a hundred times more difficult than other divinities, in order to make this competition a little fairer, I have given you some combat power that you can have even before you awaken core divinity."
Jiang Ran really had to thank him for this. If it weren't for "fate," Jiang Ran would have been unable to overcome many crises!
“And then comes the most important point!” He clenched his fist. “Do you know why I dispersed my divinity instead of directly passing down a complete divine position?”
"Because I want to create a true god! Not just a distinction between humanity and divinity! It requires a complete ritual of becoming a god, a complete intertwining of divinity, so that after reaching the status of a 'true god,' one can have more possibilities!"
A glint of madness flashed in his eyes, then he raised a finger and pointed it at the sky: "If I just wanted to create a sufficiently intact world, how could I possibly disintegrate myself like this?"
"What I want is to break through that 'barrier'!"
"What I want is omniscience and omnipotence!"
As he spoke, he placed his hand on Jiang Ran's body again.
"So how far can you actually go?"
"Oh, right, there's one more question!"
Jiang Ran wanted to ask how to regain divinity without taking lives, since his situation with Arceus was a coincidence within a coincidence, and replicating it again wouldn't be such a simple matter.
Unfortunately, the images left by the Wheel of Fortune have disappeared.
Arceus crossed his legs and gazed at the stars in the sky.
He remembered what the director had said about how He had become a god.
All the gods were born on Earth, but they lived in different timelines. The director's predecessor was a scion of a noble family during the Three Kingdoms period.
Unfortunately, before he could make a name for himself in this chaotic world, he arrived at a place called "Hidden Dragon Valley" and inherited the divine position of [Director] there.
In fact, these divine positions do not have corresponding names; they are all named by the first successor.
Arceus wondered if it was possible for him to take back all the other divinity from the Director and become the next Director himself.
