"Siber, you must uphold your faith in the Nine Gods throughout your life," Shadow said.
…
[“But I cannot give up my faith in the Nine Gods.” Siber shook her head: “Sorry, this is the only thing I cannot do.”]
[“…Is that so?” Su Mingan could not understand this fanatical belief.]
[He is clearly an evil god that is not accepted, and he has caused her so much suffering. Why would she rather be rejected and believe in the Nine Gods?]
…
"You must offer your extraordinary talents as a sacrifice to the Nine Gods," said the shadow.
…
[The red-robed man's voice trembled slightly: "Adventurer, I must remind you that I am the weakest among all the people. I am the 100th-ranked guide..."]
…
"You must offer your life force as the price for each time the Nine Gods grant you power," said Shadow.
…
[Su Mingan noticed that after the fight, Siber's originally young face seemed to have suddenly become more mature.]
[I wonder if this is his illusion.]
…
"You will be the only pagan in this dome," said the shadow.
…
As Shadow spoke, Sissi's jet-black hair began to turn snow-white.
Her eyes began to fade, her five senses began to weaken, and her bones became fragile...
Her great gifts were sacrificed, her vital body grew weak, her strength faded...
White hair like snow.
"Siberia." Shadow reached out and took her limp hand.
His bright red eyes stared at her eyes which were beginning to fade due to excessive weakness.
“…Since Bai Shen won’t give you a chance.
Then believe in the Nine Gods."
…
…
[On the first night of the dungeon, Su Mingan had a dream. ]
[He couldn't remember the specific plot of the dream, nor did he remember what he saw. He only vaguely remembered a familiar voice saying a few words when he woke up.]
…
【Siber】
[…Since Bai Shen won’t give you a chance. ]
【Then believe in the Nine Gods. 】
…
A flash of white light appeared on Sissi's body.
Her snow-white hair flowed like mercury, and her bright red robe fluttered in the fire.
She closed her eyes.
The edges of her body were also soft, with a sacred feel.
She is receiving the blessing of the Nine Gods.
…
"-Are you wondering why I don't try to persuade more children to believe in the Nine Gods like Siber?" Shadow's voice sounded in his ears.
Su Mingan nodded.
"If only it were that simple." Shadow laughed and lowered his head.
He blurted out something that shocked Su Mingan greatly.
"you guess,"
"——This is the nth time that Siber and I have escaped from the sea of fire?"
Su Mingan's pupils shrank slightly.
Emotions surged from his heart like a tide, filling his chest.
"Reincarnation is the authority of the Nine Gods." Shadow looked at him:
"After I chose Siber, I tried various methods to make her believe in the Nine Gods...
Then, I failed three hundred and twenty-six times.”
"Three hundred and twenty-six times." Su Mingan repeated.
"Yes. The rule of the Hundred Gods' faith is too strong, too strong. I am fully prepared to fail if I want to fight against such a rule." Shadow said:
“During these reincarnations, sometimes, I was distrusted by her and kicked out of her home.
Sometimes, I failed to save her and she was thrown into the lava and died.
Sometimes, she even died in infancy and I didn’t get to see her grow up successfully.
After failing so many times, I suddenly realized that this was impossible. My current identity is just a weak orphan. Restarting time is my only authority. No matter how many times I restart, I can't let her survive. "
Shadow said, opening his arms:
"——So, after much thought, I paid a little 'price' and added a little variable to this cycle."
"Is it me?" Su Mingan said.
"Yes." Shadow said, "I pulled you from the future. This time, as a variable, you successfully saved Sissi and made her believe in the Nine Gods. This is the 327th time... I succeeded."
As he spoke, a relieved smile appeared on his face, like a trekker who had been struggling to move forward and finally reached the end of his journey.
"Yes." Su Mingan said:
“…You succeeded.”
After so many reincarnations and so many backtracks, Shadow succeeded.
Shadow achieved his goal and realized his beliefs.
In the face of the final victory, Shadow was finally able to reveal all the experiences of his 326 reincarnations that he had buried deep in his heart.
...What about him?
Will there be someone in the future who can hear his experiences that he no longer hides, and who can say to him, "You succeeded" when he finally succeeds?
The authority of Shadow's reincarnation is indeed weaker than Su Mingan's rewinding. Shadow can only rewind the time of the copy of the Dome Land, while Su Mingan can rewind the time of the copy, the main god world, and even the time of higher-dimensional creatures.
It seemed that he was far above the shadow.
...But who dares to say that the "World Game" itself...is not a copy?
If, he is also another "shadow" in the eyes of a higher dimension...
"What are you thinking about?" Shadow suddenly spoke, interrupting his thoughts.
"I was wondering..." Su Mingan immediately changed the subject and looked at Siber with fluttering white hair: "Is Jiushen about to wake up?"
"No, Siber is not enough. She cannot truly awaken the Nine Gods. She can only use their power in the future." Shadow said, "I just want to plant a seed of the Nine Gods in people's hearts. I hope Siber can fully exert the power given to her by the Nine Gods in the future, so that people will believe that the Nine Gods can protect them."
Su Mingan suddenly remembered.
Siber said that her goal was to become a god.
Then, after becoming a god, she can call on people to change their beliefs and truly help the Nine Gods.
...This is Jiu Shen’s investment in her.
No wonder.
From the beginning to the end, from the past to the future, all the information he saw...
Everything is connected.
A wave of shock surged in his heart, like an epiphany.
Scenes from the past appeared in his mind, and his mind was now extremely clear.
…
[“My goal is not just the final victory. I… want to be in this land, in this closed world…”]
【Siberia raised her eyelids.】
[Under the dark, distorted sky, she stood in front of him in a red robe, like a fiercely burning living flame.]
[Like an eternal torch standing in the darkness. ]
【“…become a god.” she said.】
…
