Chapter 4 · "I predict that you will die."

When Su Mingan walked into the downward stairs, a smell of dust hit his face.

On the way downstairs, he was still thinking.

...Aside from Lu Shu, Noel was also under his consideration.

Noel has the New World Guild, and its background is not as simple as the others. Let him join, with mixed results. The good thing is that Noel has experience in dealing with forces, but the bad thing is that his mind may not be pure, and he already knows the secret of Su Mingan's return.

Noel was too smart, and he was so perceptive that Su Ming'an couldn't trust him. If Noel really has any bad intentions, it will definitely be a big trouble for the future.

"Cough, cough..."

There was a cough from the front.

Xiboer coughed. She walked in front and faced ashes on her face.

She wiped her face irritably: "...there is so much dust here, no one has cleaned it?"

This is a wine cellar with some dusty barrels inside.

Su Mingan saw a blood-red magic circle painted on the ground.

"...It's really a novel location." Siboer got close to the magic circle and smelled the smell of blood: "This is the blood of the lamb. The person who drew this magic circle was very ambitious."

"What's the meaning?"

"The presence of the lamb in the sky is a good omen. If you dare to paint the magic circle with the blood of a lamb, this person is definitely not a sincere believer in the Bai gods." Siboer said.

A man in a coat suddenly walked over.

"The black lamb symbolizes the gods? In my opinion, they are just a group of beasts." He showed his pale teeth.

Siboer: "You are an investor in the farm. Damn, am I right?"

"It's strange." Po looked at Xi Boer with inquiry in his eyes: "...how did you recognize me, little girl, I have never seen you before."

"I am a prophet. I have seen your appearance. My name is Siboer."

"Ah, Siboer, I have heard of this name." Po's smile widened: "Are you the only believer of Nine Gods? Then you should be able to understand my thoughts better."

Su Mingan suddenly remembered that Xi Boer had said her ultimate goal at the beginning.

She said that she wanted to become a god in this world.

...Can humans also become gods?

Po looked at Su Ming'an: "Young man, look at your eyes, do you not believe that people can become gods?"

"No, I believe it." Su Mingan said, "I know a real god who transformed from a human body into a god."

...Although that person is now pulled down by him again.

After hearing what he said, Po burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, you said you know the gods... Haha, of the two gods in this world, Bai Shen is dead, and no one has really seen Jiu Shen, which god can you still know? Young man, you have to be joking in moderation. Otherwise, those fanatical believers will tear you apart!"

He laughed a few times. Seeing that Su Ming'an and Xi Boer had expressionless faces, he found it boring and stopped smiling:

"Gods originally come from people's fantasies. When more people fantasize, the gods will gather enough faith power and truly appear in front of people. Otherwise, we cannot explain why the Bai gods suddenly appeared five years ago. It is consistent with the myth. After all, the previous myths were made up by people, and they had never seen the real Bai God before, so why are the myths they made up exactly the same as the gods themselves? "

"You mean... the so-called gods are the illusion of people's belief in them, rather than their own existence." Su Mingan said.

"Exactly!" After hearing Su Ming'an's words, Po's eyes lit up: "I thought that my idea would no longer be accepted by others, but I didn't expect that I actually met someone who recognized me..."

"In fact, there is nothing decisively wrong in your conjecture." Su Mingan said: "If time is the main line, then the world where individuals live is constantly dividing, and this division is going on all the time. Every one of our thoughts, Every decision will cause changes in the world. In this sense, whether we believe in something or not, the world will undergo subtle changes and develop in the direction that people believe - that is, 'believe and you will get'. It does not arise out of thin air, but is a qualitative change resulting from quantitative changes.”

Po's body was shaking even more violently, and his face was already flushed with excitement.

Of course, what Su Mingan said was basically nonsense. He is just deducing the cause from the result and looking for an argument that agrees with it.

But it seems that this deception is very effective, as you can tell by the excited expression on this guy's face.

"Do you want to become a god?" Su Mingan said.

"Of course. I have already mastered part of the authority of the Black Lamb and used it to shape twelve altars." Po said: "As long as a sufficient number of altars are repaired, I believe that the authority of the Black Lamb will be controlled by me. After that, I only need to collect the authority of the black crow and the black python, and then I can disguise myself as a god in people's eyes and gain their faith... In this way, 'authority, faith, and energy', only energy is missing. You can become a true Baishen——!”

Su Mingan raised his eyebrows.

The idea of ​​breaking may seem absurd, but it is not impossible.

"Really?" Siboer said faintly from the side, her voice a little sarcastic: "If you want to collect the power of the black python, you have to take the initiative to give it to you by the Chief Feng. With this alone, you will not be able to succeed. Also Energy, only those who reach the end of the hundred-man war will have enough energy, and you are not a contestant, so you cannot achieve this."

Listening to Siboer's words of cold water, his face twitched.

He has indeed realized the current difficulty.

"Look, you have a wooden carved bird on your hand. It's carved in the shape of a raven, the messenger of the gods." Siboer said, "Unfortunately, it's not a real raven, just a wooden sculpture. You seem to be very fond of it." You want to become a Bai God, and you also long to be followed by the raven, but unfortunately, you simply...cannot become a genuine Bai God in people's eyes."

Su Ming'an took a step back slightly. At this time, the real raven was hiding under his cloak.

Po's face was a little dark. He didn't look at Xi Boer anymore, his eyes were firmly fixed on Su Ming'an.

"This adventurer, I trust you, can you... collect something for me?" Po said, actually issuing a mission.

…

"Ding dong!"

[Obtained a C-level temporary mission: Blood of the Lamb. 】

[Task description: I hope you can bring him some lamb's blood. In exchange, he will give you a stone with the breath of Baishen. 】

[Task notes: There is an incomplete "central altar" in this altar. It is said that if three Baishen stones are enshrined on it, wonderful things may happen...]

…

"Okay, I'll find it for you."

Su Mingan accepted the task and left here.

As he went upstairs, he heard Sibber say that she had lost something.

"Did you throw it down there?" Su Mingan asked.

"Well, the cursed fire flower in the hood has fallen off. I can just go down and get it myself. You can wait on the ground." Siboer said.

"Okay." Su Mingan nodded.

Siboer turned around and walked away.

Po was still in the dark room, squatting beside the magic circle, still studying his method of becoming a god.

"Why are you back? Did you drop something?" Po asked.

"I have a prophecy to tell you." Siboer said.

When Po Yi heard this, he turned around with great interest: "By the way, you are a prophet, so can you predict whether my idea is right? Can I...can become a god as a mortal? "

Xiber smiled: "Your idea is right. As long as the three major conditions of faith, energy, and authority are met, a mortal can indeed become a god."

"Really?" Po's eyes shone and he danced with excitement: "Can this really make him a god? Great, in this case, I have to find a way to take back the power of the black python and the black crow as soon as possible..."

"In addition, I came back because I saw a little bit of your future. Do you want to know?" Siboer said.

"Of course." Po smiled: "I think no one would refuse to see their own future."

"Okay, I'll predict..." Siboer suddenly raised his hand.

"boom!"

The shotgun smoked white.

She raised her shotgun and blew.

In front of him, there was a bullet hole in his forehead, and he slowly fell backward.

The joy of being recognized still remained in his eyes, but the luster had gradually lost. He stared at Siboer who suddenly raised his gun, and closed his eyelids blankly.

Such a person who harbored the ideal of "becoming a god" suddenly fell to Siboer's gun and died silently.

"My prophecy is - I prophesy that you will die here." Siboer put down the gun and found the Baishen Stone on Po's body.

"Besides, the one who can become a god in a mortal body will never be you... You want to be my competitor, just dream."

As she spoke, she pinned the cursed fire flower behind her hair again, pulled up her hood, and concealed the wildness and fierceness in her eyes, making her temperament become inconspicuous again.

She picked up the stone and turned away.

The room was quiet, with only the lingering scent of wine lingering.

The pages of the ancient book slowly closed, as if covering an unrealistic dream.

…

"Your stuff." Siboer handed the Baishen Stone to Su Ming'an.

Su Mingan heard the reminder that the task was completed. He guessed that Siboer probably used violent methods.

"The other two slates should be at Meiyatu and the farmer Lao Te. I roughly know their locations. Let's go grab them." Siboer said.

Noticing his look, her eyes fluctuated slightly: "...Why, do I look like a villain in my behavior?"

"No, I'm just a little surprised. The contrast between your before and after is a bit big." Su Mingan said.

"The prey at the bottom of the food chain, if they want to survive, must show their weakness in front of proud and powerful enemies, and let go of their hands and feet during their own predation. They are born weak, and they have to do their best to live... So, you just treat me like this The methods are all developed through practice." Siboer said.

"Okay, let's go." Su Mingan didn't comment on this.

Although Xiber's way of dealing with things is a bit violent, it is still the way of life that she has survived to this day. He will not criticize anything for the sake of his own morality.

However, he noticed that Siboer's originally childish appearance seemed to have suddenly become more mature.

I wonder if this is his imagination.

…

In the modernly decorated living room, the farmer Lao Te is stroking his goatee.

The guests he entertained were none other than Ani and Flora.

After Aini and Flora realized that the background of the copy was not simple, they took the initiative to find the farmer Lao Te and wanted to know the secret of the dome.

"Farmer, I would like to ask." Aini asked: "In this festival... is it possible that there are 'special bonus rules'?"
