In the prophet's narration, a part of the history of the earth is like an unfolding scroll, wrapped in the dust of antiquity.

In ancient times, the earth was not only human, in fact, human beings were completely inadequate in front of most of the huge races on the earth, and the insect-shaped Imu tribe with a body size of more than three meters occupied the Lemuria continent, and their bodies were extremely strong, and they could even ignore the pressure of two thousand meters under the sea, but the social system still continued the tribal system.

The Moss who crawled out of the ocean occupied all the islands in the ocean, and they established a sea nation linked by the islands of the sea, but anyone who passed through the sea had to sacrifice the head of the same kind to them as a toll.

And in the Far North, the great kingdom of the Far North was founded by the humanoids with huge brains, and their biotechnology was so advanced that they could even create new races out of thin air, but they were eventually overthrown by the slave races they created themselves.

In the prophet's narrative, Kerry and Archie struggle to break and reassemble their three views, and it is hard to imagine that real history can be so grand.

“…… Compared to those races at that time, human beings were simply weak to the extreme, no different from ants crawling on the ground, and their only value was to be captured as food or slaves. The Prophet smiled wryly and said, "The number of human beings is constantly decreasing, from tens of thousands to thousands at the beginning, and hundreds at worst, when the three sages of fate, the prophet and the witch doctor, were like driving a canoe through a stormy sea. ”

As the Prophet narrates, Kerry and Archie seem to have traveled back in time to see humanity surround itself with their own eyes.

"And in the most difficult time for mankind, the witch doctor, that is, the first Kamuyi...... Leaving humanity. ”

The Prophet said, and Rann frowned, "Why?" ”

"Why...... Kamuyi, who had returned for a time, once said that he had received God's will to find a place of bliss, but he did not find it, and at that time, because of the departure of the witch doctor, the current situation of mankind was worse, and then the great disaster struck. ”

When the Prophet spoke of the 'great tribulation', his expression was extremely solemn, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, as if the effects of that calamity were still in his heart.

"That's ...... The hellish scene, the earth cracked, the sky did not see the sun, floods, fires, earthquakes came one after another, the earth's meteorological system was completely disordered, today was the scorching sun, the next day was a blizzard, in short, the ecological circle at that time had been completely destroyed, fortunately fate foresaw this scene in advance, human beings hid in the underground cavern abandoned by a certain race, and only a few dozen people survived. ”

"By the time humans return to the surface, the ground has completed a major reshuffle, most of the original overlord races have disappeared in the disaster, the Far North Kingdom has been frozen forever, the sea countries have sunk into the ocean, and the Remuria continent has cracked, gradually forming today's continental plates."

"Wait a minute, forming today's continental plates?" Kerry looked stunned, "Originally, the continental plates were connected together, and now there is scientific speculation...... However, the initial speculation of the movement of the continental plate is in millions of years. How long did you live? ”

"Our conscious world is indeed thousands of years old," the Prophet said, "and we were in a coma once during the Tribulation...... I don't know how long I've been in a coma, and when I wake up, the catastrophe is almost over. ”

Kerry didn't say anything, just frowned.

"In short, human beings still survived, and after the reshuffle, many races withdrew from the stage of history, and human beings finally have room for development, until today."

After telling this long story, the Prophet breathed a sigh of relief, and the expressions of Kerry and Archie remained in shock, and Kerry turned his head to take a look at Ran's expression, only to find that he didn't look much surprised.

It is worthy of an ancient existence, Kerry thought to himself, I am afraid that he has known about the eternal past of the earth for a long time, but let the prophet explain, it is estimated that he specifically told them.

Well...... Contrary to Kerry's conjecture, Rann is calm because he had a guess in his previous life, and the game plot in his previous life has been carried out in the late stage, and players have explored a lot of secret realms and ancient monuments, and the information pieced together from it is enough to prove that there was more than one race on Earth in ancient times, and even these races appeared in various running group dungeons.

"You didn't answer my question head-on," he said, "why did you part ways with fate?" ”

"We, there was a serious disagreement," the Prophet smiled wryly, "you know, in that ancient period, if it wasn't for our ability, human beings would not have been able to survive disaster after disaster, human beings are like children we have brought up step by step, there are always parents who can't accept their children out of their control, and there are indeed many hidden dangers in this world, and we started looking for a way to live forever because we knew that once we both died at that time, human beings would be extinct in a short time. ”

"But after the end of the great calamity, and the gradual multiplication of mankind, things changed slightly, and I did not accept the idea of fate, so I resigned from the position of leader, and fate gradually faded out of front of people because it had to fall into a deep sleep from time to time...... But I know that he has established other organizations and has been quietly guarding the fate of mankind. ”

"Can't tolerate a stubborn parent who can't tolerate things out of his control?" Rann sneered as he recalled the words of his previous fate, "What an image." ”

The Prophet was speechless, for this is indeed the truth.

"So you said that Archie became a new prophet, and this ability can be passed on with the bloodline?"

"It was impossible before, Prophet...... I mean, as a prophet of humanity, he completed the transmission of the bloodline before he died, but none of his children inherited this ability, and I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't sensed a change taking place. The prophet looked at Archie with an unprecedentedly kind look, like an elder in the family who was looking forward to Jackie Chan, which made Archie very awkward.

He will inherit the name of prophet...... After my death. ”

"After you die? Are you going to die? Kerry was stunned.

"Everybody is going to die, Kerry," the Prophet said calmly, "I've been in this form for a long time, I'm tired, it's just that humanity is still going on, maybe one day I'll be able to use my old bones, so I'm alive, but it looks like maybe I'll finally be able to get a permanent sleep." ”

Kerry looked at the book in the thin man's hand, and didn't know what to say for a while, just as he didn't know what kind of mood the prophet of a thousand years ago had made his near-limit self into a seal, and at this moment the original prophetic image had slowly changed in his heart, and all the funny things were to hide the old and tired soul under his skin.

"Of course, after the new prophet is trained to be able to take charge on his own." The Prophet shrugged his shoulders as he solemnly said to Ran, "I wonder if I can ask you for permission?" I hope to train Archie Hayes as a new prophet, and I will always be by his side to teach him during this time, and the power of a prophet may trigger some taboos and suffer some hardships if not taught. ”

This reminded Rann of the previous incident of the Sphinx being bitten by insects, and he told the story of it, and sure enough, the prophet's expression was not surprised: "Truth worm...... It's a nuisance little thing, but I have a set of practices to deal with it. ”

That sounded good to Rann, who left the choice to Archie himself.

"No problem!" The Sphinx couldn't wait, as early as when Kerry appeared before, and his ability could not be used, the Sphinx showed considerable uneasiness, for fear of losing his effect here in Ran, and now he finally stopped worrying, and even threw a provocative look at Kerry.

I didn't expect to steal it! In the end, it's the Sphinx who is the main one!

Sensing the hostility emanating from the Sphinx, Kerry lifted his eyelids and looked lazy, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

Hmph, it's time to steal the fishy cat!

The Sphinx wagged his tail happily, and Archie had no reason to refuse the gift, and after hearing all that the Prophet and Destiny had done for the human community, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, wondering if he was qualified to take on the responsibility.

But if that helps Rann......

Archie made up his mind.

The Prophet, who had permission from Rann to stay in the Kingdom of God and teach Archie these days, suddenly stopped and looked at Rann with some hesitation before leaving the Headmaster's office.

Ran: "Is there anything else you can do?" ”

"May I ask more, are you going to settle accounts with fate in the future?" The Prophet asked.

"Of course," said Rann, "he is in my territory, killing my followers. ”

Although there are also reasons why the players themselves died, Rann fulfilled their ideas.

"While it sounds like a plea for mercy or an excuse for fate," the Prophet sighed, "but I don't think he really seems to be such a reckless man, and there may be some reason behind that, or maybe your revenge is part of his plan, so be careful anyway." ”

"And, thank you very much for your maintenance of humanity, you are really a very friendly god to humanity, good luck."

The Prophet took Archie and Kerry away, and Rann sat in the principal's office, friendly ...... Is it?

This was not a good assessment for him, and Rann would rather think of them as a terrible evil god that would keep them 'respected'.

After all, in this day and age, good people are always pointed at gunpoint.

Rann closed his eyes and sighed.

Then he noticed another person entering the principal's office, which was rarely allowed to enter without his orders, with the exception of another in the kingdom of God.

Ogle.

Because of his absolute trust in him, Rann did not immediately open his eyes, closed his eyes and continued to rest, he noticed that Ogle walked in and slowed down, perhaps thinking that he was sleeping, walked up to him, and then ......

Well?

This feel that the lips rub is ...... Fingertips?

Rann once touched Ogel's fingers, not as delicate as himself, but not very rough, the palm lines are more obvious, the fingers are very large, almost twice as big as his, Rann often thinks, if Ogle is a dog, it should be a super large and honest dog like a Tibetan mastiff, if it is a cat, maybe it is a seemingly fierce giant like Maine, but a mouth is a small essence.

…… Hey, the one in the back is still a little unimaginable, and Ogel's voice is still quite normal.

Ran's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't

Open your eyes, because it seems like it will only make the situation more awkward if you open your eyes at this time.

But the movement of the fingers seemed to show no signs of stopping, and perhaps he thought that Rann was really asleep, and carefully traced Rann's facial features with his fingers, and the movements were very light, from the eyebrows to the bridge of the nose, and from the bridge of the nose to the corners of the lips and chin.

Rann could imagine the image in his mind, Ogel's hand large enough to cover his face, but it was carefully touched through his fingertips, more carefully than an oil painting, more carefully than a paint.

It's like a tiger lowering its head and carefully touching a small flower on the ground with the tip of its nose.

Rann was amused by the image he imagined, and for a moment he didn't control his breath, and the big hands immediately left Ranne's face, and Rann opened his eyes, pretending to be sleepy-eyed when he had just woken up, and saw Ogle pretending to sit in front of him, staring innocently at him.

…… If he hadn't slept just now, he would have almost been deceived by Ogel.

Rann didn't know what to do about it for a moment, he hadn't thought that Ogle might have this kind of affection for him...... Well, he actually thought about it, after all, very few people of the same sex would take care of another person of the same sex and wash their hands and cook without a hint of complaint.

Although he was faintly aware of it, he subconsciously thought that he didn't know it...... He had been living in an environment where he was afraid that he would be hit in the next second, and he really didn't have the heart to think about these things.

And now, with Arkham as the kingdom of gods on earth, Rann can finally breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that his safety has been assured, so some other thoughts of being crushed underwater finally surfaced.

But Rann hadn't figured out his thoughts yet, and decided to treat it as if there was no such thing for the time being, and said to Ogle: "I guess I'll go to the Inspectorate during this time and take action on the ontology of fate hidden there. ”

Ogle twisted his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Do you want to go in person?" ”

Looking at his face, it was clear that Ogle did not agree with this decision.

But Rann couldn't help it: "The scope of the kingdom of God on earth is limited to Arkham, and Orlan doesn't have my followers, and there is no way to reach the tentacles there." ”

Although it is true that there are players there, the power base of the Hidden Church is still in Arkham after all, which is really beyond the reach of the whip.

Hearing this, Ogle thought for a moment and said, "You can try to adopt an incarnation." ”

"Avatar?" Rann was stunned.

"That's right, most gods stay in their kingdom, and if they want to go out, they take an avatar," Ogle said, "maybe you can try." ”

Incarnation......

Rann really hadn't thought of this solution, mainly because he wouldn't: "How to do this?" ”

Ogel: "It's simple, just make a body out of the material that fits you best, and inject strength and will into it. The most important thing is the will of the gods contained in it, the feeling that the imagination commands it and must succeed. ”

Command......

The most suitable material is naturally a spiritual plant or spiritual seed, Rann took one out casually, and then instilled his own power into it, following what Ogle said just now.

Command...... Like when he invoked the power of dreams before?

Under Ran's will, the seed immediately began to stretch and extend, and gradually grew into a vague human form on the ground.

Ran's mind moved, and the plants on the ground entrenched each other, and finally the bark turned into fair skin, and under Ran's control, instead of white hair, it grew short red hair, and his face was dotted with freckles.

The image of the last red-haired boy appeared, and Rann closed his eyes and opened them again, his consciousness having temporarily entered the incarnation that had been pinched out.

"It's kind of magical......"

It's like playing with a high-end VR device.

Rann curiously raised his legs and stretched out his hand, but he still found a little difference, it may be that the power was not injected much, when he was in the incarnation, Rann only had a small amount of ability, the scepter and Pan Di could not be used, only the dice still gave face, and the physical fitness was at the level of a normal person.

"In the dream world, the gods usually have multiple incarnations, which can be conscious or unconscious, and the unconscious is usually dedicated to the gods, and the conscious weekdays will replace the gods to patrol the kingdom of the gods, or spread beliefs." Ogle explained with difficulty.

"What does it mean to be conscious?"

"That is, it will give spirituality to that body, just like you did to the black-haired believer."

Rann guessed that Ogle was talking about Archie, and that the object of his spirituality was the Sphinx.

"But making a conscious avatar is laborious and divides your power, so it's best not to do it now."

Rann understood, and he decided to give his first avatar a name:

Ian Penn.

Pan is the god Pan, which means the god of faun, and Ian will be his first incarnation as the god of faun.

It is indeed safer to use the avatar to investigate the inspection bureau, no matter what the old silver coin of fate is thinking, anyway, it is a big deal that this avatar is destroyed.

At this time, Ogle lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said, "I will also separate an incarnation." ”

“？” Rann was stunned for a second, then hesitated, "Is your avatar going with mine?" ”

Ogle nodded, adding, "It won't affect my being, and it won't be noticed by other beings - I'm only the embodiment of a small amount of power." ”

"That's not a problem," Rann asked curiously, "but this is the first time you've wanted to stand in front of the stage, why?" ”

Ogle lowered his eyes, his red pupils just staring at Rann quietly.

"Because I've endured long enough."

In order for Rann to successfully awaken, Ogle has been patiently not participating in this process, worried that Rann will not be able to grow up smoothly because of his interference, and he claims to be a protector, but he can only watch Rann take risks again and again.

But what he wanted to do was not just stand behind him.

Rann finally did not resist Ogle's insistence, solved the problem of going out in person, snapped his fingers, and his position shifted again, from the rector's office of the University of Uchigan to the interior of Arkham Hospital.

The spiritual treatment area of Akamuyi Hospital was as full of martial arts as ever today, and Rann saw the big cockroach nurse again, walking past him without changing his face, and finally he walked to a bed.

There was no man lying on the bed, but a clump of vines curled up, but he was actually a human being.

That's right, the body of the vine is old Luke, and since Rann is already planning to go to the inspection bureau's headquarters in person, of course he has to find out what the hell is going on.

Old Luke is a senior investigator, his intelligence is crucial, of course, Old Luke has not returned to the inspection bureau for a long time, his intelligence may be a little behind, but it doesn't matter, there is another group of people in Ran's kingdom, Edie and Dinah will be happy to provide him with information.

Rann had allowed old Luke to live in his kingdom of God because he didn't have much to do to change him back to his original self, but now, he thought he might be able to give it a try.

Rann easily controlled the vines as he controlled his own spiritual plants, and he tried to use the power of dreams to find the old Luke's subconscious.

This is a new usage that Rann thought of after messing with fate, if the dream represents a person's spiritual world and subconscious, and the fog represents madness and makes people lost, then if he uses the power of dreams to dive into a person's subconscious and bring back the people who are lost in the subconscious, can he wake them up from madness?

Clearly, Rann was right.

When he infiltrated Luke Sr.'s subconscious, he found that it had become a twisted mental world filled with rainforest and various vague fragments, and of course, in addition to this, there was an eternal fog, and Rann walked freely through the mist, finding Old Luke as the heart of the dream.

Under his support, Luke Sr.'s consciousness slowly rose, and in reality, Rann controlled the vines, causing them to forcibly snaked into a human form, but the skin was still rough on the surface of the vines, and it was green.

Well, he did his best, the results of the contamination were irreversible, old Luke had turned into vines from the inside out, and all Rann could do was awaken his consciousness.

"Hey, remember me?" Rann snapped his fingers in front of Old Luke, and Old Luke's lips trembled, and his eyes widened like hell, and fear and madness flashed in them, "Just, just now, sheep, tree......"

Well, it seems that he is still immersed in the contamination of the hospital a long time ago.

Rann simply knocked Luke Sr. unconscious, just in case, before starting the formal questioning, he simply brought Albert this time, thinking that they were both betrayed investigators, and maybe they would have more in common.

Albert lived up to his promise, and after knowing the information Rann wanted, he didn't ask anything, walked into Luke Sr.'s hospital room, and about an hour later, he walked out again and nodded to Ranne: "It's okay." ”

So Rann re-entered the ward, old Luke was sitting on the hospital bed at the moment, his appearance was still terrifying, but his expression was much better, and his eyes were staring at Rann with complicated eyes: "I have learned the follow-up development from him...... Thank you very much for your help. ”

He wanted to get out of bed to express his gratitude, but Rann stopped him: "There's no need to say that this is useless, I just want to know the information of the Inspectorate." ”

“…… If it were me in the past, I would probably rather die than say it," Old Luke's face was full of complications, "But, after listening to that young man's story, I was once again sure that something really happened within the Inspection Bureau...... Looks like I can only trust you. ”

"I heard that you are going to enter the inspection bureau in person, if you don't dislike it, I have someone here who can be trusted, she has a stubborn personality but sticks to the bottom line, if nothing happens, she is now estimated to have grown into an investigator who can take charge of herself, if you want to find out what is going on inside the inspection bureau, maybe you can go to her."

"What's her name?" Rann asked.

"Judith. Fremont. ”：，m..，.
