âYou shall become the King of the Myriad Deities!â
This line of glowing text remained in the water in front of the orange cat.
The orange cat thought briefly before his tail became raised and he began to yawn.
King of the Myriad Deities?
He felt a bit bored, so he used his claws to scratch his chin and narrowed his eyes to look around.
ââ-the passage leading into this secret divine palace is still there.
Should I follow the same way back?
Itâs a bit long, rather than moving right now, Iâd rather just use [Fog Realm Descent] to move a bit later.
The orange cat didnât dive any deeper and silently floated in the water to rest.
ââknowing about the Myriad Deitiesâ shocking capabilities, he needed some time to think.
A few moments later.
A mass of white fog manifested out of nowhere, completely unaffected by the water.
The fog enveloped the orange cat and disappeared.
...
At another location.
The divine palace of the Death God.
The white fog had just faded away to reveal the orange cat.
It was only now that he silently sent his voice.
âWar God UI, I have a questionâ he said.
[What is it?] the War God UI replied.
â-silently, it also deducted 2000 Soul Points.
âCan you help me remove this so-called blessing of the past Myriad Deities?â he asked.
[I can, but why do you want to remove this blessing? They are all beneficial powers from the various Laws] the War God UI said.
âAfter going through the Tomb of Myriad Beastsâ âinheritanceâ, Iâve discovered that sometimes, âbeneficial powersâ are more dangerous compared to hostile onesâ
He coldly said: âThese guys were born from the Laws, so they call themselves Deities, but I donât trust them, and I donât like their goalââ-â
âSo I donât need their blessingâ
The War God UI asked: [Simply because of distrust and the fact that you donât like them?]
Gu Qing Shan smiled and explained: âFrom the vision just now, we saw that the three Deities of Fate held the scepter of authority and had perfect control over the Fates of all the Deitiesâ
âThis so-called status of King of the Myriad Deities...â
His voice became sarcastic: âGiving the crown to an unknown person in the future without caring about their mentality or goalsââ even a mortal king wouldnât do such a ridiculous thingâ
âI also refuse to believe that all three Deities of Fate would be so generous that theyâd be willing to hand over their authority like thatâ
âThatâs why, take these blessings away, I donât need themâ
The War God UI remained silent for a bit before replying: [Your reasoning was sufficient; the System will support your decision]
[If you truly wish to remove these blessings, the System will take 1 Soul Point as service fees]
1 Soul Point?
When was the last time that the War God UI took so little Soul Points?
Usually, it would take a bunch of Soul Points to even ask a question, so why is it only taking 1 Soul Point now?
This canât be right...
âWhy are you taking so little?â Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
[You think itâs too little? Then 1000 Soul Points] the War God UI replied.
â1000 Soul Points it is!â
Gu Qing Shan stopped thinking about it and quickly agreed.
ââif I take too long, this System might increase the price again, so might as well just get it over with.
Lines of glowing text appeared in the void of space:
[Attention!]
[Attention!]
[The blessings of the past Myriad Deities are about to be stripped from your body[
[3]
[2]
[1]
Various tiny noises and lights of numerous colors appeared from the orange catâs body.
ââthe entire cat looked like he was a God cat descended from the sky.
However, the party was over as soon as it began, the glow around the catâs body quickly faded away together with the tiny noises.
The cat returned to normal.
Under the silent water, his fur was bobbing up and down following the flow of the water.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Youâre clean!]
Reading this, the orange cat nodded in satisfaction.
Another line of glowing text appeared:
[To remove the blessings of the past Myriad Deities from you, the System spent a lot of effort. Hopefully, you will continue to absorb more power to help the System replenish]
The orange cat nodded and expressed his understanding.
The War God UI went silent, then suddenly asked again: [If you donât need the blessings of the past Myriad Deities, then what is your goal?]
The orange cat replied: âSomething wrong must have happened during this period of Bossâ history, leading to even the Temporal Oasis to be affected. Thereâs no telling if the future would even be able to continue, so I naturally want to resolve this issueâ
[You need to pay attention, not even the Greatest Above the Star Crown had faced such a tough issue before] the War God UI reminded him.
âBoss had already set up the six Sealing Tokens and even returned here to help me without caring about his survival, heâs done enoughâ the orange cat said.
[Whatâs next? What are you going to do?] the War God UI asked.
âGet rid of themâ
The orange cat simply said: âEverything, every entity who wanted to alter the fate of living beings in the future or harm Boss, Iâm going to get rid of them allâ
...
The Isle of Protection.
Within the elven territory.
All the elven aristocrats had gathered here to discuss the future direction of their race.
A beautiful female elf suddenly stood up and walked out of the meeting room.
âGeneral, where are you going?â someone asked her from behind.
The female elf smiled and replied: âThese discussion topics are a bit too suffocating for a General like me, I think Iâm going to get a bit of fresh airââ- donât worry, I support your decisionsâ
She ignored the gazes of the elves, quickly left the meeting room, walked along a long hallway, went through the garden, the floating bridge, and finally arrived at a secret path that very few frequented.
When everything went silent, the aura of elegance and grace she exuded earlier suddenly vanished.
Her features became twisted, filled with ferocity and cruelty.
âThe blessings we planted countless years ago had disappeared...â
âThat was the refined essence from the power of 10,000 Deities, it couldnât possibly have been removed, or suddenly disappear without a traceâ
She paced around the secluded path.
âWho was it? Who could have absorbed so much power all at once!?â
âEven the trap that us sisters of Fate had established inside had also...â
The female elf clenched her hands tightly.
No.
We canât keep prolonging this!
Her figure flashed, turned into a shadow, then left the elven territory.
This shadow flew through the air, gradually becoming invisible as she moved through the patrolling guards.
None of them detected her at all.
The shadow headed straight to the center of the Isle of Protection, quickly and accurately hiding herself into a certain corner of the wall.
She silently waited.
After a while, Reneedol left the training room and headed back to her room.
The shadow pursued her.
One girl and one shadow continued to travel together until they reached Reneedolâs room.
Reneedol closed the door.
âWhy are you here again?â she cautiously asked.
âThe situation is changing too rapidly; I had to come and find youâ the shadow turned into a female figure and replied.
ââ-one of the three Deities of Fate, Lachesis!
âWhat happened now?â Reneedol asked.
Lachesis explained in a whisper: âSomething had happened to the measures that we prepared in the past to manipulate the two Deities. Originally, even if the two Deities hadnât been able to find or accept them, it would still have been a back-up source of energy in the Realm of Life, supplying us Myriad Deities with near-infinite powerâ
âBut now, something had happened, that source of energy had been completely drained by something unknownâ
Reneedol listened with a serious expression, then shook her head: âIâm currently just myself, your schemes have no relations to meâ
âStop being childish, Atropos. You have to quickly wake up alreadyâ Lachesis said.
âI donât know you at all, and you keep telling me these thingsââ- I donât want to get involved with anything youâve told me about!â Reneedol hurriedly replied.
Lachesis stepped forward and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt: âAtropos! There is no room for you to act so whimsically. Once the two of us fail, the Pantheon, and even you will be completely destroyed!â
âBut I donât remember anything at all! Iâm just a monster who has no past or memories!â Reneedol shouted back.
After shouting, as if she had been deflated, Reneedol took a few steps back before leaning on a wall and wiped the tears from her eyes.
Lachesis stared closely at her and blinked.
âAtropos, this isnât your fault. I know that something must have happened on that day for you to forget everything like thisâ Lachesis muttered.
She clenched her teeth and continued: âThe body of Reneedol had been fated to become the companion of the strongest. Since Iâve entered the Realm of Life, I wouldnât be able to enter that body even if I killed you, the most Iâd obtain are your memoriesâââ
âWhat are you trying to do?â Reneedol cautiously asked.
âDonât worry, I wonât destroy the body of Reneedol, it is the prophesized hope of us Myriad Deitiesâ Lachesis replied.
She took a deep breath and made a solemn expression.
Black threads began to manifest behind her to weave into the giant featureless humanoid face.
ă Ah... ă
The featureless humanoid face looked down at Reneedol.
Lachesis told her very seriously:
âAtropos, I have no way of letting you remember what happened that night, but I will do try my best to hopefully remind you of your identityâ
âYou need know... who you actually areâ
