Luck Defies Reason
The God of Fortune Abyss, whom all the gods of the abyss were searching for, was now walking proudly on the land of the Abyss.
He may seem slow, but he's actually quite fast.
Taking one step can cover hundreds of miles, a true example of shrinking the distance to an inch.
During this process, many Gods of the Abyss flew overhead and passed by him...
They searched everywhere for the figure of the God of Fortune.
Some gods skimmed low over the ground, while others hovered high above, observing...
But every time I'm about to see the God of Fortune, my attention is drawn to something else, or another god calls out, or a whisper passes by my ear, or some movement flashes in the distance.
By the time they turned their attention back, the God of Fortune had already vanished.
However, even the God of Fortune isn't having an easy time right now.
He walks on the ground because he no longer has the strength to control himself to fly.
He paid no attention to the other Gods of the Abyss, and was currently using most of his Divine Power to resist the Abyss. The whispers of the Abyss were still echoing in his mind, and he had to constantly maintain a barrier to prevent his aura from being leaked and discovered by the Abyss.
He didn't have much divine Divine Power left to begin with, and now he had to spare some to shrink the earth to an inch, so that he could move away before the Gods turned back.
At this moment, the God of Fortune appeared calm, but a thin layer of sweat had already seeped from his forehead.
Fortunately, he was indeed very lucky.
Perhaps, he is simply luck itself.
Normally, the Abyss God, who is currently the most favored God of the Netherworld, would not appear, which is the benefit of having privileges—being able to do as he pleases. However, the God of the Netherworld suddenly had a whim, and his arrival attracted most of the Abyss's attention.
Now only a small number remain searching for the God of Fortune.
However, at this moment, the God of Fortune's mind was also quite lively.
The God of Wealth pursed his lips and apologized softly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
The God of Luck, meanwhile, was playing with his hat, which spun around on his fingertips, making circles. Hearing the God of Wealth apologize, he casually slipped the hat back onto his head.
"What's there to apologize for? You didn't do anything wrong. Besides, what kind of logic is it to apologize to yourself? And besides, isn't there your self-proclaimed eldest son? It's normal for a father to take responsibility when his son does something wrong."
The God of Fortune, upon hearing this absurd logic, was momentarily speechless.
He finally figured it out.
If God of Luck seems to favor the God of Wealth more than herself, then what's going on here?
The God of Fortune rubbed his forehead, but his steps didn't falter; each step still covered hundreds of miles. By the time he finished speaking, he was already on another piece of land.
"Calling me 'good son' twice, you really think you're my sons? There's no need to blame yourself for what happened today. If we can't escape this Abyss, then so be it, let us perish."
The question of life and death has been passed down to this day, and it's believed that, with the exception of certain individuals, no one in this world is unafraid of death. However, the God of Fortune has lived for a very, very long time, and he has long since taken a detached view of life and death. Besides, death might not necessarily be a bad thing for him.
"Are you afraid? Or rather, do you regret it?" he asked.
Whether he regrets it or not has always been a question in the God of Wealth's heart. Ever since he separated from the God of Fortune's body, and since those two events occurred, it has been a question that has lingered in his mind.
He might... regret it.
But if the question is about this matter, the God of God of Wealth's answer is that he has no regrets, as it hardly matters. Perhaps if other gods knew about this, they would think he was foolish and ridiculous, but as long as he himself doesn't regret it, that's enough.
"It's good that you don't regret it. It's precisely because of your extremely strong emotions that I was able to reappear this time."
"If I can get out of here alive today," the God of Wealth suddenly said, "Let me disappear."
This decision had already been made before he arrived.
If he chooses to disappear on his own, the God of Fortune should still be alive afterward, right? Upon hearing this, the God of Luck's previously calm expression finally changed.
He looked at the God of Wealth and expressed his thoughts:
"If this is your choice, I'm willing to disappear with you. In another sense, even if we choose to disappear, we're not really disappearing."
If the God of Luck were to choose among the three gods, he would lean more towards the God of Wealth.
Because aside from the God of Wealth, he is indifferent to himself and other things. Although the God of Fortune is also another version of himself, his heart is always biased.
Even when it's the same person, the God of Luck seems to favor the God of Wealth.
Upon hearing their decision, the God of Fortune paused this time.
"No need. You should know my personality. Once I've made a decision, no matter the reason, I won't change it. Even you can't change my mind."
The God of Fortune knew that the God of Wealth wanted to make amends to him, but he did not regret his past choices. Even if he reappeared now, he would not change the decision he made back then.
The God of Fortune suddenly looked up at the sky, then began to walk again, and his figure disappeared.
He really shouldn't have stopped.
"If you truly care about me, then continue living."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the God of Fortune appeared hundreds of miles away. And less than a fraction of a second after he disappeared, a figure suddenly appeared on the ground where he had just stood.
A black and gold halo hovered above his back, its Dark Gold patterns flowing through the darkness of the Abyss.
"Looks like he just left." The God of the Netherworld stood where the God of Fortune had stopped, tilting his head slightly. "I'm really curious why he stopped. But if he had stopped a little longer, I could have caught him."
He raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the God of Fortune had disappeared, a faint hint of interest appearing on his lips.
"The Authority of luck is truly unreasonable. However, the Abyss needs a Sun; even luck cannot escape once the Abyss's entrance closes."
Although the God of the Netherworld takes his Divine Name from the Netherworld, he actually dislikes darkness. Unfortunately, he cannot go to the Divine Realm, so he can only create one in the Abyss.
He tried many things.
Even the fire in the Abyss is cold, a pale blue cluster. I even tried to bring light from elsewhere into the Abyss, but that light was swallowed up by the darkness here as soon as it entered... I finally managed to capture a god, but unfortunately, he was gone too.
No Gods with Authority related to light can be born in the Abyss.
