Aransta was a little confused about what he meant.
"A hero is one who appears at the most crucial moment."
Bates chuckled softly, then stuck out his tongue.
Do you think fate pushes people forward? No, quite the opposite.
"A person's behavior and experience influence others, thus forming society. Countless people influence each other, so people constitute destiny."
"The family environment you were born into, and everything you experience in your life, shapes who you are, and these people are products shaped by others."
"How the hell did you suddenly become a philosopher?"
Alansta pursed his lips. Even if Bates were to explain this to him, he wouldn't understand!
"Forget it, I need to hurry, or I'll be finished!"
Bates walked to the ground in front of him, squatted down, and put his ear close to the ground, listening to something.
Then, he tapped the ground lightly with his finger and smiled.
"Looks like this is the place!"
boom!
Bates clenched his fist and slammed it into the ground!
The ground cracked open instantly, revealing a hollow structure underneath, and Bates fell in with it!
Aransta didn't care when Bates had acquired such power and quickly followed after him!
"Hey! Wait for me!"
"You bastard!"
Aransta summoned Rhaast, then jumped into the deep pit, using his scythe to hook onto the rock wall and slowly descend.
It was a huge tunnel, and he followed Bates deeper into it.
"Where is this place?"
"This is the director's base, which can provide him with a continuous supply of spiritual energy. However, it's not entirely accurate to say it's continuous, as it is still finite."
Bates explained as he walked.
No wonder the director has inexhaustible energy; he definitely has a backup energy source!
Then, Aransta sensed something was wrong.
"Wait a minute! How do you know so much about this place? Did the director specifically notify you when he was building it?"
Bates turned his head speechlessly: "I have the [Heavenly Eye], of course I know."
"No! The director must have some kind of censorship method! Tell me!"
"Alright, alright, the director sent me an invitation, okay?"
The two reached the end of the tunnel.
Before me was a huge device, somewhat like some kind of flesh-and-blood technology.
Bates stepped forward, pulled out one of the pipes, and inserted it into himself!
"Holy crap! What are you trying to do?"
Aransta took a step back, looking at him with some wariness.
"I didn't do anything, I was just doing what I was supposed to do!"
Bates sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
"This is a miracle from the [Heavenly Eye]!"
The effect of 【Sky Eye】 is a wide-range, blind-spot-free field of vision, but it has more than just this one effect!
Bates once demonstrated another effect in the world of ghost stories, causing another ghost storyteller's IQ to rise or fall temporarily.
This effect can be simply explained as "interference"!
He now intends to use the director's remaining immense mental energy to "interfere" with Ho Tung!
"Come!"
Inside the secret room, Jiang Ran was using [Faith] to fight against He Dong's [Caged Bird]. His mental energy was constantly being depleted. If he could just drag it out, He Dong would definitely be the winner!
"Jiang Ran! I've been preparing for so long, strengthening the magic array again and again! Just waiting for you to come!"
"Why should you be able to open the cabinet that I can never open?"
"Everything is predetermined? I don't believe it!"
"I will definitely be the winner!"
He Dong gritted his teeth and continued to increase the power of the "Caged Bird" technique!
The next second, he felt a jolt in his mind and spat out a mouthful of blood!
"What... what's going on...?"
"Who is it?!"
He Dong's consciousness began to blur, and his control over the "Caged Bird" also began to weaken!
"who......"
Jiang Ran seized the opportunity, used [Freedom] to overthrow [Caged Bird], drew a long sword from the air, and stabbed He Dong in the body!
Although he didn't know who was helping him, he was determined to seize the opportunity and not let it go to waste!
He Dong felt that his connection with the magic array had been disrupted by something! He could no longer use the magic array, and instead, the magic array was draining his spiritual energy!
"No, there's something wrong with my execution order... Damn it! How could I make such a simple mistake!"
"No! I need to wake up!"
Tentacles extended from He Dong's back and gripped the sword piercing his chest tightly!
How could mere physical damage possibly kill a near-god level character like him?
Pfft!
Countless tentacles pierced through He Dong's body!
This is a miracle from the Judgment!
After Shan Shang used [Judgment] in the Dream Sea, Jiang Ran recorded [Judgment] once. Therefore, even though [Judgment] had already been used once within 24 hours, Jiang Ran could still use [Judgment] once more!
The amplification array can only be controlled by one person!
While He Dong was in a daze, the benevolent He Dong created by [Judgment] seized control of the magic circle!
"I will no longer allow you to use magic circles to harm others!"
"Are you crazy?!"
Countless tentacles pierced through He Dong's body!
This is a miracle from the [Lost]!
Jiang Ran rendered He Dong unable to recover, and with a twist of his sword, he slashed a gash in He Dong's chest!
"Hmm..."
He Dong coughed up another mouthful of blood, collapsed to the ground, and swelled into the human observer's true form, its tentacles dancing wildly!
"Hahaha—is fate truly irreversible?!"
"【Wheel of Fortune】! You dare to leave me here without worrying about me, do you also know that I can't cause any trouble?"
"I......"
Ho Tung lost his last breath, and the kind-hearted Ho Tung also disappeared.
He had prepared for so long in the strange world, setting up perfect formations and restrictions, and with the director's help to wear down Jiang Ran's condition, Jiang Ran really wasn't 100% confident in dealing with him alone.
Jiang Ran considered other ways to break the deadlock, but he couldn't guarantee 100% success. He hadn't expected someone to suddenly lend a helping hand, so he just went with the flow.
"Who exactly helped me?"
The divinity of the "Caged Bird" came into Jiang Ran, bringing him one step closer to becoming a god.
"Was everything planned out by someone else?"
To be honest, Jiang Ran didn't quite like this feeling either, but he had to admit that this person's help had indeed done him a great favor.
Having reached this point, Jiang Ran's understanding of the Wheel of Fate deepened. This god seemed to be dead, yet also seemed not to be dead, continuing to influence the world.
He stepped over He Dong's body and picked up the notebook from the ground.
It looks like an ordinary notebook, without any patterns, and even looks brand new.
Jiang Ran turned to the first page, and then his pupils suddenly contracted!
It says on it—
