A predicament? Whose predicament!!?
No.
There was absolutely no way to solve it.
The moment darkness surged in, Hong Lin felt as if she had returned to the moment ten days earlier when she had just stepped into the True Universe.
It's so similar. Except for the absence of starlight and the inability to see into the distance, the state of being utterly alone and helpless is exactly the same as it was back then.
The only difference is that after realizing the dangers of the True Universe, she is now even more terrified.
In the original world, her power was enough to break through all the fear from the gods, but now, the gods have also become "below the Origin," and she is in a predicament of exhaustion.
Fortunately, her mind, honed by countless Trials, remained intact. After groping and exploring in the darkness for a long time, she finally spotted that glimmer of white light.
Faced with this single anomaly in the darkness, Big Cat's choice was completely different from Cheng Shi's.
She knew that the unusual meant greater risk, but she was certain that there was no trace of her friends in the darkness, so that white light became her only chance to find them.
She had Cheng Shi to bring the other person back alive, so she couldn't just stand still and wait for the Storm to pass.
She was even more pessimistic than Cheng Shi. Although her newfound Divine Authority granted her endless lifespan to survive this accident, she wondered what if this accident in the True Universe was even longer than the "lifespan" of the original world?
When Faith loses its foundation and the world heads towards destruction, do you still have the Divine Authority to weather a dark Storm?
No!
So find companions now!
Hong Lin walked up to the white light, activated all her Divine Authority, and charged in in her most "invincible" state.
The endless whiteness swallowed the darkness, magnifying it many times over in her vision. She didn't sense any danger approaching, but she felt her body slowly becoming abstract and distorted.
The flesh and blood were gone, but the person was not dead.
The feeling was like having a dream, dreaming that I had become air, floating in a room that was both strange and familiar, with a clear view of the scene beneath my feet, yet not knowing what I was doing.
But even though this white expanse seems endless and has no walls, why does it feel like this is a room?
Confused by the series of unexpected events, Hong Lin couldn't recall what this seemingly familiar "room" was, until she saw an even more familiar figure vaguely appearing outside the room...
At that moment, Hong Lin's mind exploded with a "boom".
Because the figure that would soon become clear in the "room" was none other than himself, living in a jar with tubes inserted into his body!!!
To think that I, who was more than half a year ago, would appear in my present life in this way!
In that instant, Hong Lin finally remembered where she was:
The Starting Point of Life Path!
This is clearly the day the Divine Descent, the moment the [Faith Game] began!
At this moment, the bewildered and dying Hong Lin is about to step into this "room" to choose her own Faith!
Hong Lin was stunned. Her first thought was not to tell her past self what path to take in the future. She just wanted to find a way to leave this place. She was afraid that this was a replay of her life before she died, afraid that this was a flood of Memory before her life disappeared.
She hadn't found Cheng Shi to take her back yet, and she hadn't had a chance to say goodbye to the little fox. She didn't want to die here, and she certainly didn't want to die without knowing why.
The gods have not yet been defeated, the [Faith Game] is not over, and the Fated has not yet faced the final chapter. How can I linger halfway through the world's script!?
Hong Lin panicked. She desperately tried to swim away, but it was all in vain. This white "room" was both her starting point then and her current end point. It trapped her, leaving her nowhere to escape.
When people are extremely terrified and have no other choice, they often resort to unconventional methods and go from one extreme to another. However, Hong Lin did not. Perhaps it was because she had been in contact with Cheng Shi for a long time. This player, who was always known for his strongest martial arts, finally developed the most powerful... cat brain at this moment.
In her boundless terror, she finally noticed that this white "room" seemed slightly different from what she Memory. Before she entered the "room," there were only two Token floating in it!
Daggers of Decay, and Dice of Destiny!
Hong Lin was stunned when she discovered this.
Why are there only two?
At the Path of Fate's Beginning, I was given three Tokens to choose from, so where did the green branch representing [Prosperity] go?
It was this subtle difference that made Hong Lin realize that what she was seeing was not a replay of her Memory from before her death, but a new [Faith Game]!
This could very well be Another World, another Divine Descent. After all, the place where the Storm was born is the True Universe, the closest place to [*He], and the place where anything could erupt. So if she was thrown into a brand new world by this dark Storm, Hong Lin wouldn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
But why is my version of myself in this world missing a Token!?
As we all know, the Path of Fate's Beginning Token entirely on which will you resonate most deeply with in the first half of your life.
Simply put, if your life trajectory carries the will of a certain god before the game even begins, then you will receive His attention at the Path of Fate's Beginning.
Looking back on her experiences, Hong Lin realized that although "Decay" occupied most of her life and "Destiny" had repeatedly played tricks on her, her strong will to survive deserved "prosperity."
But now it seems... has this world version of myself lost my survival instinct?
No, that's not right.
Hong Lin looked down again and saw herself crawling desperately outside the "room." That Hong Lin was dying, and the game had become her only lifeline. If she could survive this final period before death and choose the Token at the Path of Fate's Beginning, she could receive the blessing of [Prosperity], survive in the game, become Chosen of God, protect her friends, meet Cheng Shi, and join her the Fated...
And it seems she hasn't given up; she's struggling and moving forward!
But the problem is, where did the Token of [Prosperity] go!?
As she drew closer to the "room" outside the door, Hong Lin suddenly felt a strange sense of unease. Even though she realized that the person in this world was not her true self, but merely another individual who had survived the [Origin] Experiment, no human being could remain unmoved when they actually saw their former self, let alone someone like Hong Lin.
And so, the moment to take an unconventional approach finally arrived.
Hong Lin couldn't accept seeing herself, after struggling in reality for over thirty years, choose to either continue Decay away or choose to live or Destiny, leaving it entirely to fate.
She knew that [Prosperity] was the best thing for her and her friends, so at the Starting Point of Life Path, Hong Lin, who was as elusive as air, made the craziest decision of her life in a moment of passion.
She used her Divine Authority to create a [Prosperity] green branch for Hong Lin, who had not yet knocked on the door of her Path of Fate's Beginning!
Yes, she cheated!
Cheating for another version of myself in Another World.
She herself never expected that this absurd act would actually succeed. Although she couldn't escape from here, the power of Faith gathered here successfully accepted her "gift," at least conjuring up a green branch that could be seen!
And when she did her utmost to shoo the green branch under her feet, placing it beside the [Decay] Daggers before Hong Lin entered the "room"...
Boom--
Hong Lin's mind went blank again.
Because she remembered that the branch she had picked up back then was exactly the same shape, position, and angle as it is now, and even the same as the arrangement of the Daggers and the Dice.
Of course, Hong Lin was certain that all of this was the result of her own Memory, but when coincidences piled up to a certain extent, even the most dull-witted person would have figured something out.
She suddenly realized that she had been wrong all along. The first half of her life, which she had been living in the jar, had never been [Prosperity] at all. The "prosperity" she had was most likely brought by Hong Lin from Another World!
Just like myself right now!
At the moment Hong Lin's brain went blank, the Hong Lin beneath her feet finally crawled into the Starting Point of Life Path. When she realized that the green branch in front of her could restore her to her original state, she didn't even glance at the other two things.
She seized the "prosperity" bestowed upon her by the gods.
And it was at this moment that the [Prosperity] that originally belonged to this world first felt the "prosperity" from outside the world, and the true will of "Cosmic Prosperity" began to sprout.
He opened his eyes and gazed down at Hong Lin, who was at the Path of Fate's Beginning.
Thus, a Druid was born in response to the decree.
