Chapter 936: Divine‑Bestowed Cycle?! Old God Will Die, New God Must Rise!

Currently known—

Divine need to rely on Faith to sustain their power.

Faith comes from players.

Players obtain it through 'kidnapping'.

Players who come via 'kidnapping' do not know how many Divine there are, let alone their names.

Therefore, worship in the traditional sense is difficult to achieve.

Thus Divine grant players Innate Talent.

It is a gift, and also a restraint.

Basically, ninety‑nine percent of players will use Innate Talent within the Death Game.

And this is very likely the way to contribute Faith.

When contributions increase, Divine gladly grant an Ascend God Seed seat for players to command a team.

At the same time, they also grant the so‑called Faith Value to fuel Talent Evolution.

The Round Table Meeting supplements the rules.

The involvement of the Old Era lets everyone learn the more advanced and refined rules earlier.

Thus the Round Table Meeting will inevitably extend the rules layer around the gamble.

For example—Looting Dependents!

With more Dependents, Faith Value will also increase.

Top Players continuously evolve, while lower‑tier players struggle bitterly.

As time passes, a batch of players will inevitably become a powerful whole.

Faith contributions will also stabilize.

At the same time, Servility takes deeper root.

"This is a cycle…" Su Yang furrowed his Brow.

Grace—Upgrade—Dedication—Grace…

When the cycle endures, Divine's power also becomes stable.

However, the appearance of the Golden Throne seems to Accelerate the cycle's speed.

Competition is fierce; players crowd together, bloodied and bruised, for that position.

The mysterious person said the Old Era is fading.

In essence, the world is a massive cycle.

Once an era perishes, players will also die.

Divine, having lost their power source, will eventually fall from the Divine Altar.

Then…

For players who have already Vision Perception the end, the Golden Throne is their final, and only, opportunity!

"Old God…"

"New God……"

Su Yang murmured to himself, his gaze vacant.

A clash between New and Old?

Wait!

Free Person is a being born in the New Era.

It never existed before.

In other words, the era Su Yang lives in is special!

One can see a hint from Yin Yun's Wish.

It was then that the mysterious person approached Yin Yun.

And approached him…

"Freedom of the New Era?" Su Yang lifted his gaze toward the window.

The shimmering moonlight spilled, the sea surface like a layer of pure white salt.

In that distant horizon, a Golden Light Pillar pierced the heavens.

It brimmed with the Divine and majesty.

Even the firmament was torn open.

Golden Light glittered, obscuring sky and sun.

Moonlight had no resistance before it.

It is the supreme existence.

It is also what all players scramble to obtain.

After a moment of thought, Su Yang's eyes flickered; he lifted his brush and wrote—"Free Person has no Dependents, nor a team; how to quickly boost strength?"

Mysterious person: "Free Person lives for oneself; why need Dependents or a team?"

Su Yang, puzzled, wrote: "From where does Faith Value come?"

Mysterious person: "It seems Servility has already taken root in your body; I said not to rely on Divine's Grace, but if you use it, won't you return?"

?

Su Yang was instantly bewildered.

Without Faith Value…

How to evolve?

Could it possibly rely on meditation?

Just as he was pondering, the mysterious person gave the answer, "New Era, new transformation."

"The Old God will die, the New God must arise."

"The Free Person is the only Passage to open a new chapter."

"Without any God's Blessing, solely by one's own strength ascend the Divine Throne."

"Only in this way can you escape the 'trap', break the Shackle."

"Become the First Place true Divine of heaven and earth!"

"A truly genuine Divine who climbs to the summit solely by one's own power!"

Sight this speech, Su Yang's heart suddenly ignited a flame that was indescribable.

His entire body's blood Qi boiled with it.

"True Divine?" Su Yang inhaled, his eyes filled with yearning and longing.

If…

What the mysterious person said is all true.

Then the difficulty of this path will surpass all that came before.

Other players lean on the Old God, aided by Faith Value's support.

Even knowing they are deep in a cage, as long as they ascend the Divine Throne they can still seek a way to break the impasse.

But the Free Person cannot borrow any advantage.

Everything can only be fought with one's own hands.

Talent Evolution may even be indefinitely postponed.

No team.

No Dependents.

Only alone.

At that time, not only must one face the Old Era Remnant Faction.

One must also contend with the New Era.

And confront the former Dependents partners.

And battle the Divine in the heavens!

At this moment, before Su Yang's eyes seemed to appear countless towering mountains.

Before the majestic peaks, he was as tiny as dust.

"Hard as scaling the blue heavens…" Su Yang sighed wistfully.

These words finally materialized at this moment.

For a brief instant, he suddenly regretted.

Regretted initiating contact with the mysterious person.

He, already having erred, had known the Free Person's path was so perilous, so he simply persisted in the mistake to the end.

But the fact is…

Having learned this truth, he could not ignore it.

Su Yang rubbed the corners of his Brow, suddenly feeling a headache.

He picked up a pen and wrote—"On what basis do I trust you?"

The mysterious person quickly replied: "You can certainly choose not to believe; I have told you so much before, and you didn't believe any of it, right?"

Su Yang: "Yes, I didn't listen, so up to now I haven't made any mistake."

Mysterious person: "I like the kind that won't turn back until hitting the southern wall."

"Just because you haven't encountered it now doesn't mean you won't in the future."

"So far you have also dealt with Old Era Players; you must have a doubt—why is their Innate Talent cap Eight Tier?"

Sight this sentence, Su Yang's Pupil suddenly tightened.

He indeed had just been puzzled by this question.

Whether it is Yue Zhao or Su Qi.

One is an old player who has lived for several hundred years.

The other has lived for several thousand years, even tens of thousands!

They clearly have countless resources, yet why does their Innate Talent not continue to rise?

At first Su Yang analyzed…

Perhaps the cap is indeed Eight Tier.

Or perhaps there is some Shackle within.

Like realms in fantasy novels, one must have a sudden enlightenment to continue ascending.

Now that the mysterious person's words have been revealed, Su Yang has become interested.

"Why?"

Mysterious person: "There is no cap on Innate Talent levels; in this world, as long as you are a Divine's follower, with enough Faith Value you can even evolve to the twentieth tier!"

"But players beyond Eight Tier are few."

"Only because those who wish to evolve further will inevitably incur a Curse!"

Curse?

The term isn't new.

Su Yang vaguely recalled that players who performed poorly from the initial prison were subject to Execution.

The Second Stage Prison is the same.

Only the method of execution changed from having the Brain crushed by a bull‑headed man to jumping off a cliff.

And the Third Stage is even simpler and more brutal.

The player Self‑Destructs on the spot, exploding into Blood Mist.

At that moment, Su Yang inferred that this was a Curse.

Now the Divine mysterious person throws this phenomenon again, and Su Yang's eyes inevitably grow serious.

"What kind of Curse?"
