Chapter 283 The Endless Third Person
After hearing the truth about the world from fate, Li Muyang felt powerless. Was this all too exaggerated? He was only at the Nascent Soul stage! Why did he always have to face such profound questions?
"So, the reason I traveled back in time this time is..." Li Muyang asked hesitantly.
Fate smiled wryly and said, "There are bound to be some bugs during the fusion process. If you hadn't come back, Diana would have realized the real gap between her and Ares. Due to the rules of reproduction in this world, a demigod like her is definitely no match for a well-established earth immortal like Ares!"
"Afterwards, there might be a possibility of him becoming depressed and turning to the dark side. This situation, which is not conducive to development, must be corrected. However, not everyone can go beyond time and space to modify the past. You don't want a situation similar to The Flash, do you?"
Okay, Li Muyang understood. In other words, a suitable role was needed to correct the butterfly effect caused by the fusion, and he himself was that corrective factor.
"Ahem, I admit I was being unfair by acting without telling you. I've doubled the mission reward for you. Hmm, it's the mission you took. So... are you interested in joining us?" Fate said with a wicked smile.
Li Muyang raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
"Didn't I already say? The current selection method for members of the Endless Family is based on qualifications!" Death explained, "That is, whoever can first grasp the corresponding authority becomes a member of the Endless Family!"
"You want me to become the third member of the Endless Family?" Li Muyang asked, pointing at himself in surprise.
The two nodded: "That's right!"
"But I'm probably not suited to be the Sandman, am I?" Li Muyang seriously doubted himself. It wasn't that he lacked confidence, but rather that the Sandman's role as the third member of the Endless Family and his authority were completely unrelated to his current path. Besides, he didn't think much of the Sandman's authority and abilities.
The false dream was not what he was pursuing, and the fact that the Sandman represented reality was even more ridiculous; if he couldn't turn the illusion into reality, then everything was fake.
But fate smiled wickedly: "Who says the third person has to be Sandman?"
Death laughed, "This is the real world! We decide who the third person is! Whoever awakens first and takes control of their own power will be the third person!"
Li Muyang immediately understood what the two meant. He could choose a power that suited him and wield it. Anyway, no one was competing with him for the title of the third member of the Endless Family. Right now, it was just an empty promise. His only advantage might be that Li Muyang knew about this opportunity earlier.
Then, fate explained some of the privileges of the Endless Family to Li Muyang. Like the Six Saints, the Endless Family is also one of the representatives of the world. The power they wield can increase as the world strengthens. For example, if the main world recovers to a certain extent, the Six Saints may be promoted from the current Golden Immortal to the Taiyi. The Endless Family also has this authority!
Although this blessing only applies to this world, the Six Saints were originally Saint-level beings. However, they were injured while resisting the crisis of world destruction, and due to the current world level restrictions and some unspeakable reasons, they were downgraded to the current Golden Immortal level.
But it is also an opportunity for Li Muyang. Once he successfully becomes the third member of the Endless Family, he can use this opportunity to comprehend the power of a higher realm!
Li Muyang gasped! This was a meteoric rise to power!
Why not give it a try! We'll see if it works or not later!
Fate immediately bestowed upon Li Muyang a long-term mission: to guide him to become the third member of the Endless Family.
There's no penalty for failing the mission; success is a bonus!
However, the price is... Li Muyang may have to clean up after fate and fix some problems the world might encounter. Fortunately... he shouldn't need to travel through time for a while!
Anyway, Li Muyang has always held the attitude of doing his best when it comes to saving the world, and this is not a bad thing, so let's go with the flow!
As for how fate had played a trick on him, Li Muyang generously said...we'll talk about that later.
Fate smiled bitterly and remained silent, then thought to itself, "Anyway, it's not like I'm the one being tricked, so it doesn't matter! It's just a little experience! Good luck, Main Body!"
Yes, there's a reason why they value Li Muyang!
Death is even less of a concern; she didn't betray Li Muyang!
After finishing his conversation with the two, Fate kindly offered to send Li Muyang back, then had Li Muyang re-enter the train and waved him off.
At this speed... won't it kill someone?
Fate_(:3ゝ∠)_: Whatever, my mission is complete!
On the other side, after overcoming numerous hardships, Diana finally arrived before Ares. However, her experiences on Earth had clouded her heart.
Diana witnessed firsthand the greed, ignorance, and madness of human nature!
Are all the sufferings in this world really caused by Ares, the god of war?
Isn't it just human desire itself?
Is such a person still worth her continued protection?
Of course, when the battle came, Diana's combat skills were still very high, but her belief was not as firm as before, because she did not know or understand whether she could really end the war and conflict in the world even if she really defeated Ares.
Ares also noticed the change in Diana's mindset, but he didn't offer any guidance, because there was no need. His identity meant that any explanation he gave would be seen as sophistry by Diana, so shutting up and taking action was the simplest and most direct way to prove her wrong!
Come on, my foolish little sister!
Is the human race you think it is really the weak and kind group you imagine?
It's time to witness the cruelty of the real world...
Woohoo—Thomas the Tank Engine is here!
Suddenly, a portal opened beside him, and a speeding train rushed out from it. Ares couldn't dodge in time and was instantly thrown away by the train...
Li Muyang got out of the car speechlessly. How did he hit someone again? And this time it was someone he knew!
Now they can't even commit a hit-and-run.
"Mu Yang?!" Diana exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Li Mu Yang.
"I'm here! I promised to help you, so I definitely won't be absent!" Li Muyang waved his hand and looked at Ares, who had almost been killed by him. His brother-in-law angrily swallowed all the remaining divine power in one gulp!
You two went too far! A perfectly good trial! And you actually drove a train at me! You were the ones who broke the rules first!
Diana felt immense pressure and disbelief. She hadn't expected that even with her divine sword shattered, Ares hadn't even seriously fought her! The pressure Ares exerted on her now was unprecedented! Not only in terms of the total amount of divine power, but also in its quality!
Li Muyang glanced at the broken divine sword on the ground, flicked his finger, and the divine sword quickly reformed before his eyes. Chaotic power surged into the divine sword, and in an instant, a brand new and enhanced version of the divine sword was forged!
On a whim, I erased one of the shady dealings inside.
Well, it is a divine sword after all, so it shouldn't break so easily. The problem is that there is a specific rule in this sword. In a sense, this sword is called "the sword that will shatter if Diana stabs Ares!"
The key factor is that Diana, if she stabs Ares, will shatter!
You think it's the Demon Blade with a Thousand Blades?!
Li Muyang guessed that the God King's little scheme was to tell his daughter not to easily trust anyone or anything, not even his and Diana's biological mother!
But is it really necessary to use such a powerful weapon as teaching material? You're really rich and capricious! What excellent material! At least leave some for Diana to use as a temporary measure!
With the divine sword in hand, Diana felt a mysterious blessing! She felt confident again! With the sword in her hand, she was calm! Come on!
Immediately afterwards, Li Muyang activated his aerial talisman-drawing mode, giving Diana a bunch of buffs all at once. Ares didn't want to stop him, but he was still in the transformation phase.
As everyone knows, you're invincible during the transformation phase! Unfortunately, you can't move anymore!
Diana felt a surge of power coursing through her body, which boosted her confidence. Then she saw Li Muyang find a clean spot, wipe himself down, plop down, and wave his hand, saying, "Go! Diana! You've been enhanced! Go and... oops, go and save the world!"
The female warrior was momentarily stunned: "And you?"
"Me?" Li Muyang pointed at himself in surprise, blinked, and replied, "Rest! This is your trial! I can't interfere too much!"
Diana recalled once again the word "trial" that Li Muyang often used on Paradise Island. She hadn't taken it too seriously at the time, but now, looking back, she felt a sense of something she couldn't quite put her finger on.
She seemed to realize something.
Even after his transformation, Ares still managed to attract Diana's attention, forcing her to become entangled with him once again...
At first, she was still at a disadvantage, but Diana did not disappoint. Just when she was about to lose, she unleashed her inner power once again because of Ares' provocation, and suppressed Ares in one fell swoop.
Li Muyang continued to watch the spectacle with great interest, while keeping others who wanted to join in the fun outside, ensuring they could only watch from the outside and not interfere.
Finally, with Diana's sword tip pointing at Ares's nose, the battle between the demigod and the god of war came to an end.
The difference is that Diana did not deliver the final blow.
"Ha, are you still going to show mercy and hold back?" Ares, looking disheveled, scoffed. "I am the god of war! The embodiment of strife! The necessary scars of this world! Now that you have defeated me, give me the end a warrior deserves!"
Diana scoffed mercilessly, sheathed her divine sword, and retorted, "Do you really think I still don't understand? This is just a trial you've set up for me, isn't it? My dear brother? Even you, this so-called God of War, are nothing but an incarnation."
Now that things have developed to this point, Diana understands: it's all fake! It's all a lie!
Cough cough, she didn't go crazy, but rather she activated her demigod wisdom and realized that the so-called "mission" was just a test given to her by the gods, and Ares was just the gatekeeper boss to complete this test, not her real enemy!
