After Chao Yan's death, Su Ming'an returned as scheduled.
At an angle that Chaoyan couldn't see, Su Mingan saved her.
On the seventh day of the dungeon, the battle to become a god officially begins.
Temples, angels, followers, papyrus... all kinds of false stories were made up by Su Mingan, which became the "real" myths of the old gods in people's eyes, like an ideal country built out of thin air. He stood under the camera and narrated these castles in the air with a compassionate tone.
When Su Ming'an was in the spotlight, Chao Yan, in the shadows, based on her nine weeks of experience, quietly suppressed those enemies who might harm Su Ming'an. No one knew about these things.

【Asagao Notes:】
[Game days: Day 8, morning.]
[Inner Note: On this day, he started the game "Destiny Simulator". This is also... the most critical day. Su Wensheng will guide him to the prophecy stone wall.]
…
Su Mingan and Alice went to the beach. They encountered wind and waves and lay on the beach.
Chao Yan looked at them from a long distance and did not approach. She felt that Su Mingan seemed very tired - had he triggered many Xiao Su replays?
Su Wensheng appeared on the beach and provided clues about the black magpie. Next, Su Mingan will go to Huo Mulier.
"The Kingdom of Huo Muli'er... there shouldn't be any threats there. Su Ming'an won't come to the prophecy stone wall in the short term, after all, Hei Que won't trust him." Chao Yan thought silently: "This is the best round, many people support the Old God. What I should do now... is to improve his favorability and make him start to trust me."
But she hesitated when she looked at Alice who stayed by Su Mingan's side.
She once looked in the mirror and saw a reflection of herself - her reflection looked like Alice. So Alice was actually a kind of "previous life" of hers. If it weren't for the fusion of timelines brought by the tower, she would never have seen Alice in this life.
"Alice will become a goddess sooner or later. So, I will wait for half a day, until Alice leaves... This way it will be easier to improve her favorability." Chao Yan retreated silently.
——But what she didn't expect was that
Just during the half day when she was away from Su Mingan.
——He walked to the prophecy stone wall.
Because in her impression, it was impossible for Hei Que to trust Su Mingan - Su Mingan used the power holder's skill.

【Asagao Notes:】
[Game days: Day 8, afternoon.]
[Inner note: No, no, no... No, no!!]
…
As the fire burned, the young man's sword danced wildly like a raging flame.
Fragmented words gradually appeared on the prophetic stone wall - the prophetic stone wall had already predicted everything Su Mingan would do in this week.
Su Mingan stood still in front of the broken stone wall of prophecy. In an instant, he suddenly understood many things.
"Drip, drip, drip—"
The bomb in his body made a sound, and he looked at the god holding an umbrella in the flames. For a moment, he seemed to recall the god in the ninth week - it was also such a bright red umbrella and such a calm and peaceful look.
"——I will wait for you on the sea." The god said lightly.
The explosion of the bomb cannot be stopped, and Su Mingan will inevitably trigger a rollback.
“——Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Su Mingan said with a smile.
The smile on his face was not warm, because he knew that if the bomb explosion did not trigger his own retracement, he would be trapped by the god waiting at the previous retracement point.
He looked at the god's back, slowly sat down, gently pressed the bomb on his abdomen with his fingers, waiting for the end of his life.
For a moment, he felt confused.
Since the beginning of the tenth world, he seemed to have been flowing in the torrent of fate, always being pulled by countless threads. Some were out of goodwill, some were out of malice. Even now, he still felt oppressed to the point of having difficulty breathing, and everything seemed like an endlessly revolving nightmare. The flames burned the air thin, and also stagnated his breathing.
Even if the game goes back to the previous one, what can he do?
Even if time goes back, where can he go?
If he wants to pass the game perfectly, he must break the prophecy stone wall according to the main task. However, the prophecy stone wall is bound to cause the world to rewind and everything will start all over again. It's like walking in a Mobius loop that will never end. Unless he gives up the hint of the main task and finds a new way on his own.
A new...road.
How confusing and difficult it is.
He raised his hands and slowly covered his face. He still couldn't see the comments in the upper right corner of the live broadcast room, they were like blurry snowflakes.
The people outside the instance must be very anxious. They watched themselves start over and over again, but they couldn't remind themselves of anything. If today was many days after the instance was opened, some people should have finished the instance and come out. After all, they would not disobey the gods. People like Aini, Beiwang, Luna, Bonnie... They should have finished the instance, even if the ending was hard to accept.
How would they feel when they see themselves like this through the unreachable screen?
The long-term pressure made him feel breathless. In this closed environment, he could only show his vulnerability for a moment.
"Sorry..." he whispered.
Maybe he wasn't sharp enough.
Maybe he hadn't thought about it enough.
Maybe he's not strong enough.
But what if he was asked to obey the gods from now on, take a simple route, and not dig into the deepest secrets of this world - human beings?
“…”
He slowly loosened his hands and looked at the overwhelming flames. The flames gradually spread to his body and dotted his cuffs, but he did not move.
