At this moment, Su Mingan could no longer see through her. She was like an onion that could never be peeled, layer after layer.
"—Siberia, this is your own key, isn't it?" he said, looking into her eyes.
Through the numerical changes of the tentacle key, he deduced a truth.
A truth... one he had never imagined.
A sense of hindsight that made his scalp tingle rose up and gripped his heart.
This rusty key.
It was Siberia's own key.
——Siber created her fantasy creation. Therefore, every time her fantasy creation becomes a Hundred Gods, she can get a part of the [Faith] points fed back by the fantasy creation, which is the same as the feedback principle of people to the Void Gods.
——This is her only way to gain [Faith].
Su Mingan held the key in his hand:
"...Every time you reach this point, every time your creation becomes a Hundred Gods and successfully appears before people's eyes, you will receive feedback [Faith], right?"
Each success will give you 100 points.
And the current value is 9900.
——So, this was not the first time that Siber had overturned the black wall, walked here, and seen her imaginary creation successfully become a hundred gods.
——This was her ninety-ninth success.
Su Mingan was speechless.
She may have to fail in reincarnation hundreds or thousands of times before she succeeds once.
These ninety-nine successes are the accumulation of countless failures.
If the Rusty Key can be pushed forward from 9900 to the point again, she will achieve her long-cherished wish, gain [Faith], and become a god that does not come from the void.
【The Hundred Gods represent perfection.】
【Hundred, hundred.】
Before the final despair, there is a sudden turn of events.
She was so desperate just now, but it turned out that she was just one last step away from success.
At this moment, bright red lines spread from Siber's arm. It was the ancient fantasy code of "ninety-nine".
Su Mingan suddenly remembered what she said when he first met her.
…
[She raised her arm, revealing an arm engraved with strange blood-red runes.]
[For some reason, Su Mingan suddenly felt as if he was being watched by a god.]
[“My goal is not just the final victory. I… want to stay in this land, in this closed world…” she said:]
【“… Become a god.”】
…
Su Mingan felt that he was probably going crazy, as he was being deceived by her.
The little liar who was full of lies deceived him until the last moment.
Did she just now remember that this was her ninety-ninth time overturning the black wall and seeing the fantasy creation accomplish the Hundred Gods, or did she really think that she had never overturned it before?
Which one is her true self: the one who was driven mad by the desperate desire for salvation and believed that she could never become a god, or the one who now remembers that there is still a way to go and is only 100 points away from becoming a god?
There is a way forward for her. She is even just one step away from becoming an independent god.
Su Mingan remembered the name of the eighth world.
[The name of the eighth world: Divine Sacrifice.]
Sacrifice to the gods, not to the gods.
——The sacrifice is to God, not to people.
He seemed to understand the meaning.
In the future, when Siberia completes the 100th advent of the Hundred Gods, advancing from 9900 to , and gains complete [Faith], she will be able to break away from her pagan identity and become a god.
When the cycle of reincarnation ends, she will gradually change the beliefs of the Dome Land - and finally, completely eliminate superstition.
She will sacrifice herself and "kill" the god she has transformed into, breaking the ignorant beliefs and turning the dome into a world consistent with the outside world.
Perhaps, this will take a long time.
But it doesn’t matter, the thing she has the most is time.
——She found the best [tomorrow].
Divine sacrifice.
She is the "god" being sacrificed.
