Chapter 171 Identity
Chapter 171 Identity
It can be said that the "human god" treats his apostles in a manner similar to "raising pigs," with the intention of slaughtering them one day in order to realize their inherent value.
At this moment, someone is interfering with his preparations to lower his guard against the new pigs.
Rudius's obvious resistance is something that urgently needs to be addressed, otherwise the future will likely develop in a very unfavorable direction for him. The child who poses a threat to him must not be born. It seems that it is necessary to activate the other apostles.
Rudius jumped out of bed.
"Waaah..."
""
My head hurt like it was being hit by a hammer, I was severely dizzy, and I also felt nauseous.
I climbed off the bed, ran towards the room exit, entered the toilet, and as soon as I put my face over the toilet bowl, I immediately vomited everywhere.
The maddening headache and nausea made Rudius unsteady on his feet.
Even after leaving the restroom, the room felt incredibly far away.
After grabbing the wall with his hands, he lost his strength in his legs and his whole body slid down to the ground.
A whooshing sound could be heard coming from the dimly lit inn.
Damn it, it's like he was completely drained. That guy, I really can't believe he's alright.
"What's wrong? Are you alright...?"
When he came to his senses, a pale blue face appeared in the darkness.
It was Rachel Rudd, who looked at him with a worried expression, while his older brother stood beside him.
"Um..
"...It's alright."
The Yue man placed his hand on Rudeus's head, and the "Transformation of Non-Action" was activated, calming his chaotic nerves.
Rudius instantly felt much better.
"Thank you, brother."
"What's wrong? Did you eat something bad?"
Rachel Luther took a cloth out of his pocket and wiped Rudius's mouth.
"I'm fine..."
""
"Really?"
"Well, I was just still half asleep and failed to adjust my precognitive eyes."
I have experienced this headache before when using my precognitive eye to see the future for more than a few seconds.
He had just started experiencing a headache at the time, so he didn't continue watching into the future, but I now intuitively understand that if the symptoms had continued to worsen, it would have turned out like this.
The god showed me the future in my dream. The method he used was probably through his precognitive eyes.
"So that's what it was for..."
""
Rachel Rudd looked puzzled, but he accepted the explanation.
However, Yue Ren frowned slightly. He didn't feel that the other party was lying, but this kid definitely hadn't told the whole story, there must be something going on.
However, he didn't make it clear, because if he really needed help, he believed he would tell him.
Rudius hesitated at this moment because he had thought of a possibility.
The "precognitive eye" didn't mean much to him, but now it seems to be very meaningful to both humans and gods.
Perhaps he guided him to meet the Demon Emperor so that he could see the future like that.
Rudeus felt that something was being prepared step by step, and his unease rose. For the first time, he felt fear of gods and men.
"Rudius, you look terrible. Are you really alright?"
Seeing the worried look on Rijkaard's face, Rudeus almost blurted out all his unease.
He wanted to tell him, "Actually, I have been under the watchful eye of God since I first met you, and I have always followed His instructions in my actions."
""
However, in that instant, he realized a fact.
"From the time I first met Rachel Rudd."
That's right, the first time the god of man came into contact with him was just before he was about to meet Rajirud.
Furthermore, he was advised to help Rachel Rudd.
Doesn't that seem strange?
Why have no gods or humans appeared yet?
Why did he come to him right after the magical disaster? And why didn't he suggest that he rely on Rigdl, but instead said "he should help him"?
"Could it be that the gods want Rigd to do something?"
The gods and men have said that certain conditions must be met for someone to appear in a dream.
Perhaps it was because of those limitations that he was unable to directly manipulate Rijkaard.
That's why they used a magical disaster to transfer him, who met the criteria, and then induced him to help Rijrud, making him protect them on their journey to the Central Continent...
No, if this speculation is true, then what is the point of his actions that prompted him to obtain the Demon Eye and advised him on how to rescue Aisha?
I really don't understand, I just don't get what that guy is thinking...
He knew he wasn't very bright, and at times like this, he desperately wanted someone to help him analyze the situation...
Subconsciously, Rudius turned to look at the figure—Yue Ren.
Yeah, big brother, that guy has never mentioned you. Why?
And the elder brother appeared after meeting Rijkaard, which was outside his prediction? Is it because he's a time traveler? No, I'm also a time traveler. Since the other party was able to contact me, could I ask the elder brother about something?
"Alright, thank you, brother. I feel like I'm almost done. Sorry to bother everyone, I'm going back now."
Rudius turned and walked toward his room, without saying a word.
Rudy returned to his room and lay down on his bed, but he couldn't fall asleep.
An unusually clear mind, a head churning with all sorts of thoughts. The moment I close my eyes, those thoughts begin to surface.
These ideas are meaningless and unrealistic.
It's like a maze with no exit; useless ideas appear and then disappear.
"So, is there anything you plan to tell me?"
The sudden sound startled Rudius, who turned around to see the Yue people who had appeared beside him without him noticing.
"call...
"...Brother, could you please not be so scary?"
"It's because your aura perception is too poor. I didn't deliberately hide it. If it were Rijkaard, he would have been able to detect it."
"6
""
That's infuriating, but I still can't refute it.
The surge of pent-up emotions suddenly eased his chaotic mood.
"So, is there anything you need to say about the look you gave me that I can analyze for you?"
Yue Ren hadn't originally planned to come, but after seeing the look in the other person's eyes at the end, he decided to come and see for himself.
As expected of the eldest brother, his observation skills are simply unmatched. If it were me in this situation, I would definitely be at a loss, but the other party was able to see that I was not comfortable saying it. What a thoughtful and good eldest brother.
"Brother, have you ever encountered a very suspicious-looking guy in your dream, someone who looked like a humanoid mosaic?"
"No, unless someone has a dream-entering ability, I generally don't dream."
"I see, as expected of the eldest brother."
"So, something entered your dream, and what happened?"
One problem made the Yue people realize the seriousness of the matter.
This is a fantastical world, a world of swords and magic, and such abilities appearing in dreams are often unusual.
"actually..
Then, Rudius recounted the story of the "god-man".
From my first appearance upon arriving on the Demon Continent, to the subsequent advice, and now, the prompt I received again through the "Eye of Foresight."
""
"Very suspicious."
After a moment of silence, Yue Ren gave this assessment.
Just say so.
"That guy calls himself a 'human god.' In that case, I'll tell you what I know about 'human gods' first."
""
"Brother, you've heard of this name too?"
"Yes, I've heard of it in the 'history' of this world."
Amid Rudius's surprised expression, Yue Ren began to explain.
"The original name of this world was 'Six-Sided World,' because, as the name suggests, there should have been six worlds, just like the faces of a six-sided die."
"The place we are in now is the human world. There are also the Dragon Realm, Demon Realm, Sea Realm, Beast Realm, and Celestial Realm, which are named after various representative intelligent races. However, each world seemed to have its own flaws at the time. The individually constructed world was very unstable. Therefore, it was necessary to bind the six worlds together to maintain a certain 'balance,' which is why it is called the 'Six-Sided World.'"

"That's really amazing."
"Long ago, all races lived peacefully in their own worlds. Each world had a guardian deity who possessed great power and seemed to have originated from the creator god who created the six worlds. Their duty was to protect the world and guide the people of their own world, such as the dragon god of the dragon race, the demon god of the demon race, and the human god of the human race."
Rudeus's eyes widened. He hadn't expected that the so-called God of Man would have such an impressive aura. And the other party's identity was actually... the guardian god of humanity?
Doesn't that mean the other person is actually a good person?
"The six worlds had always lived in peace, but at a certain time, for some unknown reason, the dragon race suddenly began to attack the other worlds, led by the Dragon God and his powerful generals, the 'Five Dragon Generals.' In the end, all the worlds except the human world and the dragon race's own dragon realm were destroyed, and their gods were also killed."
"How cruel."
"Afterwards, a period of peace emerged between the remaining human and dragon realms. However, not long after, the Dragon God reverted to his position in the human realm. But this time, for some unknown reason, the 'Five Dragon Generals,' his subordinates, suddenly betrayed him and fought against the Dragon God, who was already severely injured from killing the other four gods. The outcome of the battle is unknown, but it ultimately led to the destruction of the dragon realm. Thus, of the six worlds, only the human realm remains, which is here."
'
...So you're saying dragons are the greatest evil?
"Perhaps that's the case, but if we look at it from a different angle, examining it from the perspective of the pros and cons of the event, we'll discover the problem."
"What do you mean?"
"The principle of beneficiaries of events: Who is the biggest beneficiary of the entire event? In addition, the human realm is currently very stable, as are all the other intelligent races in the worlds you have seen."

""
"You mean, it's a combination of divine intervention and human intervention?"
"I don't know, but the probability is high. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the Dragon God would suddenly turn against his subordinates. Even if they wanted to overthrow their superiors, the ultimate winner shouldn't be anyone else. It's hard not to suspect that someone was pulling the strings in this situation. And considering what you just said about the ability to 'predict through dreams,' it seems to make sense."
"But why did he do that?"
"I don't know, but in reality, if he is truly a god, then he is undoubtedly the only original god at present."
As a result, only one human realm remains in the world, and it has been completed and restored. Other gods have most likely disappeared. The status of the world's sole god is something that any god with selfish desires would think about.
"To expand his authority, that's one explanation, but since he's already the only god, why not do it himself instead of going through all this trouble to appear in a dream?"
Since you are already the strongest, why bother with all these roundabout things? Why not just kill those who are not in your favor?
Rudius expressed his incomprehension.
Yue Ren nodded and continued.
"It is speculated that this is related to the Dragon God's plan to attack the human world. For example, if he discovered that the instigator was a human god, he would plan to take action against the human god. However, his subordinates did not understand, so a group battle broke out, and the human god who was affected was restricted or something."
"Perhaps the reason he is only a guide in the main world is because he can only stay in that white, misty space you mentioned and can't get out."
"Because he can foresee the future, he knows how to extricate himself from this predicament. And because he has a connection with me, he will choose to help me 'build favor' so that I will make the choice he desires at some point in the future!"
Rudeus understood. "It's like a sealed demon king using underhanded tricks to entice others to break his seal. What a treacherous tactic!"
"It's not impossible."
"Did you perceive this information through that ability?"
"Most of it, because some things can only be remembered through similar images, like watching a silent film, so that part can only be speculated on."
In addition, there was also the reason that he tried hard to recall the plot.
"I see. So what do you think I should do?"
Having gained a general understanding of the other party's identity, Rudius finally had a vague idea of what was going on. Although it was vague, it was better than not knowing anything at all.
After some thought, the Yue people came up with a feasible solution.
"Since it concerns the safety of your family, you might as well follow his instructions first. Since you have no means of defeating him before, you cannot resist him. Rashly turning against him will only cause you to lose your loved ones. So you cannot disobey him, but you should not trust him either. At the same time, you should try your best to find a way to get rid of his control. According to your description of that guy's personality, being his subordinate will probably lead to a miserable fate."
"His sneaky and furtive behavior reveals him to be a cunning and powerful individual," making him the most formidable opponent.
"Understood, thank you, brother."
"It's alright. You're willing to trust me and share this, so as your older brother, I have to live up to your trust. Keep it up, Rudeus. You're a man I approve of. This little difficulty isn't enough to defeat you."
"clear."
So the next day, Rudius was having breakfast in a tavern when he announced to the other two:
The search operation along the way needs to be completed as soon as possible, and then we can head to the Kingdom of Shiron.
