"Hello, [Five Calamities] [Life], I am Bishop Nan Tian of the Light God Society."
The man slowly lowered his fishing rod, stood on the sea, and bowed slightly to Hela, like a noble aristocrat.
Hela glanced at Nan Tian in front of her and then at Nanming beside her.
The two look very similar, about 90% alike.
Same hair, same appearance, but his mental state looked many times better than Nanming's.
Her gentle gestures and the tender smile on her face were a delight to behold.
At the same time, he exuded an incomparably powerful aura, stronger than Ye Yiqing and Lin Wushuang combined.
It was almost identical to Brown, the previous human combat power limit he had seen, and even slightly superior.
Are you two brothers?
After saying that, Hela felt that he and Ye Yiqing were also similar, except that they were not similar in appearance, but in temperament.
"Yes, that's right."
" Nanming and I are indeed twin brothers, and I am his younger brother."
Hela glanced at Nanming beside her, who frowned slightly in displeasure but didn't refute anything, seemingly confirming their brotherhood.
"How about I call you Hela?" Nan Tian politely asked Hela.
Hela nodded indifferently.
" Hela, may I speak with Ye Yiqing's people for a moment?"
"Say it."
Nan Tian shifted his gaze from Hela to Ye Yiqing.
Get up.
"Yes." Ye Yiqing slowly stood up upon hearing this, but his eyes were still full of respect for the other party.
"Thank you for your hard work this time. You did a great job. Now you can go back with Lin Wushuang."
Nan Tian smiled and affirmed the other party, then slowly looked at Lin Wushuang, "Take Ye Yiqing and my brother back. Thank you for your hard work this time."
"Okay, thank you, Lord!"
Hearing that she could leave first, Lin Wushuang felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Then, remembering something, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Uh, considering how hard I've worked this time, about my relationship with Ye Linwan..."
"I'm sorry, matters of the heart are a matter of mutual consent; they cannot be left to others."
"All right..."
He slumped his shoulders slightly in disappointment and leaned towards Nanming and Ye Yiqing.
"We'll be going now, goodbye Lord."
"I will always be at your service; I will take care of the rest."
Nan Tian smiled and nodded at Ye Yiqing, "Thank you."
He didn't seem like Ye Yiqing's boss, but rather a kind and approachable colleague.
With a distortion in space, Lin Wushuang and his two companions vanished from their spot, leaving only Hela and Nan Tian in front of them.
Hela noticed that even after she disappeared while dragging her blue disc, she could still stand on the sea.
Hela didn't rush to ask questions, but instead looked at the bench behind him placed on the sea with some curiosity.
How did you get that stool on the sea?
Hela went closer to the bench to observe carefully, and even grew an eye on her hand, which she then stuck into the sea to look below.
There was nothing underneath, yet the bench remained perfectly still, as if it were placed on flat ground.
"And are you fishing? You can't catch any creatures on the surface of the sea."
Nan Tian didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, sat back on the stool, and cast his fishing rod.
"The real intention is not in the wine; besides, if you have a will, there's nothing you can't do."
Hela scratched her head, beginning to doubt whether this guy was really the leader of the Light God Society.
Aside from the Ocean World, there would only be some dead sharks floating in the sea; there couldn't possibly be any other fish.
But right there, the fishing rod in Nan Tian's hand swayed slightly.
Then, with a strong pull of the fishing line, he caught a grass carp weighing several kilograms.
Hela: ⚆_⚆?
"See, so anything you set your mind to can be easily achieved."
Nan Tian slowly stood up and handed the fish he had caught to Hela.
As he left, the bench, fishing rod, and other items that had stood on the sea all disintegrated into fragments and drifted into nothingness.
Hela took the fish, bit into it, and the fishy taste of blood immediately filled her mouth.
It's true.
"Is this your special ability?" Hela mumbled, chewing on fish.
"That's right." Nan Tian nodded affirmatively, slowly spreading his hands.
"My special ability is called [Thought]."
As he spoke, a faint light appeared in his outstretched palm, then slowly transformed into various shapes.
"A single thought can grant a wish; this is [Thought], and it is the strongest superpower in the world."
"So, Wishes Come True?" Hela swallowed the last piece of fish.
"Yes, I can grant any wish I desire—whether it's creation or destruction, acquisition or annihilation; with just a thought, it can be made possible."
Nan Tian patiently explained, while Hela held out her hand to him, "Give me another piece of meat."
"Here." Without the slightest hesitation, Nan Tian conjured a tomahawk steak out of thin air and handed it to Hela.
"Such a convenient feature."
"If you want to kill someone, just think about killing them in your mind."
Nan Tian shook his head slightly, "Theoretically speaking, it's possible, but the mental energy required to directly erase a person is exceptionally vast."
"Even if the opponent is just an ordinary person, it would still require the full spiritual power of my ' King Master ' realm."
"Even if I doubled my current mental strength, I still couldn't erase you."
"Oh, so now can you tell me what the meaning of my life is?"
After all that talk, Hela finally asked the question that mattered most to her.
Nan Tian didn't waste any words, turned around and walked behind him, "Come with me, I'll tell you."
As he stepped into the sea, a calm ripple spread outwards.
The once turbulent sea seemed to have been muted; wherever the waves reached, the churning waters immediately subsided.
Looking out, the entire Ocean appeared as a flat surface, reflecting the two of them like a mirror.
"Wow..." Hela exclaimed expressionlessly, then stepped on the seemingly still water.
The surface only rippled slightly before returning to calm.
Nan Tian ignored them and continued to move slowly across the flat sea, with Hela hurrying to catch up.
"In your understanding, when did the Variant originate?"
The sound of the sea beneath their feet, as calm as the Nan Tian, came from ahead.
"Humans are said to have been born 35 years ago, but I think it should be earlier, around 100 years ago."
Recalling the Sea Dragon, who had lived for over a hundred years, and Xiao Huan, who should be forty-three this year, Hela answered.
"You're very clever; the Variant did indeed emerge over a hundred years ago."
He stopped and turned around.
At that moment, the surrounding environment began to change rapidly.
The calm sea surface undulated, then changed color, becoming ordinary ground, and one after another, buildings that looked ancient rose from the ground.
Within seconds, their surroundings had completely transformed into an ancient city.
"This all started several hundred years ago."
