Chapter 472: Don't Know If You Guys Can Withstand It

The two left.

The three sat at the table, the atmosphere a bit silent, or rather, oppressive.

Shen Yuwei and Liu Anfeng might have just realized that they were merely mouthpieces.

And Chen Ran was deep in thought.

'Chen Yang should have been teleported away by the 9th True Self Player.'

'The All-Knowing should have been teleported away by the leader of the Liar-Slayer Alliance.'

'In other words.'

'The future Chen Ran corresponds to The Almighty.'

'The smuggled Chen Yang corresponds to The All-Knowing.'

'No wonder, facing the Omniscient and Omnipotent, the 5th, the 9th, and I all didn't die.'

'The five of us have completely formed a closed loop across the entire timeline; no one can do anything to anyone.'

'If both sides want to win, they can only start from my timeline.'

'Wanting to change my destiny to break this balance, which means...'

'The moment my destiny changes, the future me on their timeline will disappear.'

'And in the future where my destiny is changed, I will either win or lose. Regardless of winning or losing, a second future me will not appear.'

'The reason is very simple. If I win, I will use Eternal Kingdom to lock the future; if I lose, the future me will already be dead. Therefore, regardless of which change, a future me will not appear.'

'Of course, there is also a possibility: after changing destiny, the timeline is a brand new timeline, and the future is uncertain. Therefore, the 9th True Self Player cannot find the future me after destiny is changed.'

'In other words, there is a node. At this node, my destiny will change, and that cruel me in the future will disappear.'

'Then, the balance among the five of us across the entire timeline will be broken.'

'Namely, the me who changes the future, Chen Yang, and the 9th will deal with the Omniscient and Omnipotent.'

'I hope this node comes as late as possible, letting me develop properly for a while.'

'However, this node should be controllable. As long as the current me still maintains my original Ultimate ideology, and then when facing the choice after growing up...'

'Change the Ultimate ideology!'

'What is my current Ultimate?'

Thinking up to this point.

Hostility appeared in Chen Ran's eyes, but quickly concealed itself. He didn't know if what happened today was a play, so he couldn't easily change his Ultimate.

'Chen Yang is actually the 5th True Self Player. From a timeline perspective...'

'He should have died several hundred years ago.'

'Smuggled...'

'It should be like this: originally there was a 5th True Self Player, but for some unknown reason, they were intercepted by Chen Yang.'

'Simply put, Chen Yang and the 9th True Self Player set up a layout. The 9th True Self Player teleported Chen Yang to several hundred years ago, and Chen Yang intercepted the 5th True Self Player. Arriving in Hell first, he became the 5th True Self Player.'

'It's also possible that destiny was arranged this way originally, meaning Chen Yang was inherently the 5th True Self Player.'

'The 9th True Self Player just sent him to the point in time when he was supposed to descend into Hell.'

Chen Ran lit a Cigarette and looked at Liu Anfeng, secretly thinking that this body of his should belong to Chen Yang. Then...

Chen Ran looked at Jiang Zhe.

'Jiang Zhe can be ruled out as Chen Yang. There's only one possibility left: Jiang Zhe really was created by the leader of the Liar-Slayer Alliance.'

Retracting his gaze, Chen Ran continued to look at Liu Anfeng, organized his wording, and asked: "Are you planning to team up with me?"

Previously, Chen Ran had deduced that the 【Sage】 was his special teammate.

Although this 【Sage】 currently only had a physical shell, with his soul messing around outside, and his shell occupied by someone else, but...

The 【Sage】 had a resurrection skill. The flaw should be the inability to live forever in Hell, indicating this flaw was a passive skill.

Therefore, Liu Anfeng was an old man.

Eternal Kingdom.

Could break his skill, and naturally could also break his skill's flaw.

The 【Sage's】 skill flaw was a passive skill. Once broken, then Liu Anfeng would revert to his youthful appearance, enjoying a lifespan of nearly a century once again.

However...

Liu Anfeng shook his head: "I think the 【have time】 that person mentioned should be the 【have time】 after the future you disappears."

Chen Ran was startled.

'That's right, Chen Yang came to Hell several hundred years ago. It can only be that the future me continuously provided skill-breaking methods for him to live until now.'

'In other words.'

'He is not my fourth teammate.'

'Who is?'

'It seems that my fourth teammate is hidden very deeply.'

He looked at Shen Yuwei and saw her shaking her head as well. Chen Ran gave her a deep look.

'The 9th True Self Player's skill should be Space Samsara.'

'Qiu Yinong is the Wheel of Time.'

'Then...'

'There should also be a Space Wheel.'

'This 【Space Wheel】 should be Shen Yuwei or Yu Xiangwan's skill.'

'As for Mei Zhixu, she is sometimes Two-Star and sometimes Nine-Star. Her skill should be related to reincarnation.'

'Simply put, 【Spacetime Samsara】 was split into four skills.'

'The Wheel of Time, Space Wheel, reincarnation effect, and the 【isolation】 effect!'

'Then, the four skills are respectively on four people: Qiu Yinong, Shen Yuwei, Mei Zhixu, and Yu Xiangwan.'

Chen Ran rubbed his brow. Seeing that the two had nothing to say, he took his teacup and returned to sit at Qiu Yinong's trio's table.

Under the gaze of Qiu Yinong's trio, Chen Ran had just gone over to sit, drank a few mouthfuls of tea, and returned, completely unaware of what had just happened. This point also proved that Shen Yuwei's skill was related to space.

After all, skills couldn't be used in the bar, but spatial skills were bizarre. Even if used, they were very hard for this world to capture.

Lin Xuan hesitated to speak.

Chen Ran spread his hands: "I really haven't met Yu Xiangwan, but she should be coming to Hell very soon, keep an eye out."

He then immediately asked: "So what do you say, are we deciphering today, or tomorrow?"

Ultimately, the four of them reached a consensus to decipher tomorrow. After arriving in Hell, their brains had constantly been in a state of high load, they indeed needed a good rest to adjust their condition.

The four of them left the bar and chose four adjacent rooms in a nearby hotel.

Chen Ran fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

This sleep was beautiful. When he woke up, it was already 3 PM. Of course, this was the world time of this world. When they arrived, it was almost 6 AM in this world.

Chen Ran walked out of the hotel alone.

Relaxing, he realized that there was no one in the corridor. This feeling was like in a doomsday movie, where the protagonist lives alone in a deserted city; it inevitably gives people the urge to let themselves go.

Chen Ran looked at the blooming flowers on both sides of the street, then looked at the hardware store.

He walked into the hardware store.

He selected a handy weapon, which was a slender and long iron rod.

He swung it twice and felt it handled nicely.

Coming to the flowerbed, he revealed a sinister smile, and chuckled mockingly.

'I've come to harvest you!'

Immediately after, with a horizontal slash of his 【Sword】, he chopped down the flowers. The cuts were smooth, and Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction.

The only regret was...

The weapon wasn't a wooden stick.

He always felt it was lacking something. So he aimed his gaze at the large tree ahead.

He climbed up the tree, snapped off a branch, cleaned off the leaves, and soon a slender and long tree branch appeared in his hand.

Chen Ran looked at those flowers, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes.

'Hehe, next, let me show you my Dugu Nine Swords. I don't know if you guys can withstand it.'
