"God of Time?" Benegas's old face was full of confusion. "Is this a title? Or is it a trick of a false god? But if this kind of power does not belong to God, then who does it belong to? How can there be a god that I have never heard of..."
"There are too many things drowned in the long river of time, and I am just one of them. Well, now that you know my identity, you can go with peace of mind. Goodbye." In Venegas' horrified eyes, the time around him was further accelerated. He soon died of old age, then turned into dry bones, then into dust, and finally disappeared without a trace.
This move of the black-robed woman made Xiao Chen and the others very nervous. There was no way to dodge or defend against such a move. In other words, as long as she moved her mouth, the four of them would face the same fate as Sword Saint Qianren.
The black-robed woman turned around and said, "If one of us dies in the Arena, we will be ejected from this world soon. Some things can only be said in this world. You still have ten minutes, so feel free to ask any questions you have."
Xiao Chen and the others looked at each other, and finally Xiao Chen asked, "Thank you for saving me just now. If it weren't for you, I would have died. You said you are a prophet, so the prophet next to Saint Gomez that I saw in the illusion, is that you?"
The woman in black robe reached out and tapped the small ball hanging around Luo Ling's neck. "In that memory bead? Yes, you sensed it. That's me. I abandoned the title of God of Time a long time ago... which is easily exposed. You should just call me the Prophet."
"I had a feeling at that moment that you were not just an illusion, it was as if you had traveled through time to that place and were right there."
"To put it simply, there is a mark I left in the memory bead, so I knew it when you activated it. The me in those two illusions was not the me back then, but the me now." The prophet nodded in acknowledgement, "I have been paying attention to you all the time, so I really wanted to see your performance in that illusion up close, so I entered it with you. Judging from the results, I think you are a good choice."
"Have you been paying attention to us? What do you need us to do?" Xiao Chen asked.
The prophet said, "I just need you to grow unhindered now. As for the future, let's talk about it later. It's not good for you to know too much before that stage."
Luo Ling suddenly asked: "In the end, you want us to fight against the God of Nature, right?"
The prophet folded his arms across his chest and sighed, "It's really troublesome to talk to smart people."
"That's very simple. As a powerful god, what else can you be afraid of? Nature is a more powerful god. In this world, who is more powerful than the god of nature?" Luo Ling said with a smile, "Besides, whether you are a human or a god, we are friends who have been together for a while, right? I am somewhat sure about what my friends want to do."
"Okay." The prophet spread his hands and said, "I was worried that revealing this enemy too early would discourage your confidence. But since you have already guessed it, I can only tell you. Yes, you are the heroes I chose to fight against the 'evil dragon'. But you need enough time to grow, to grow to the point where you can defeat the God of Nature and free yourself, this world, and me from the hands of the God of Nature.
I will remove those destructive factors when I can. This is the second time I have saved you from the hands of stupid Venegas. I don't want him to interrupt your progress. "
"Hero? Why do I feel like he's more like a thug, or a cannon fodder type?" Xiao Chen said to Luo Ling through the Soul Bridge.
"If you don't like that kind of literary term, calling them 'thugs' is also appropriate. But they are definitely not cannon fodder. In front of God, cannon fodder is meaningless." The prophet's tone was rarely smiling. It was obvious that she had heard Xiao Chen's whisper. "Sorry, as a god, I have the ability to intercept information."
"Then I feel relieved." Xiao Chen said awkwardly, "You chose us because you can see our future? Our chances of success are much greater than others?"
"No, the future is always uncertain, and I don't know if you can do this. This is just another attempt, and no one knows what the result will be." The prophet's voice suddenly sounded a little tired. "For the future, I can only simulate the flow of time in a very small range. That is not real time. This little trick is insignificant on the grand timeline. But I can only use this ability here. Outside of this world, I must keep a low profile."
"Are you hiding from the God of Nature?" Luo Ling asked.
"Very perceptive, yes. If you are a group of guys who want to cause trouble for the God of Nature, then I am a thorn in the side of the God of Nature. When I am outside, as long as I take the slightest action, use my ability, or talk about him, he may target me. I can't stay in one place for a long time, I can't often contact the same group of people, and I can't even let most people see my real face. But here... It's different. The Ares Arena is the most special space prop that the God of Nature has ever made. It can indeed block the prying eyes of the God of Nature."
"Isn't the God of Nature still sleeping?" Xiao Chen said.
"God's sleep is different from what you understand. It doesn't mean that he loses all ability to influence the world when he falls asleep. He just feels that there is nothing in this world worth giving up repairing himself and waking up completely. And my existence is exactly what he cares about most. When he fully recovers, the first thing he should do when he wakes up is to find me and kill me." said the prophet.
"So, you have this power in the outside world, but you don't dare to use it? But your power is stronger than that of a saint, yet you place your hopes on us. I have always been a very confident person, but I dare not guarantee that you can surpass Venegas, let alone fight against an enemy stronger than you."
The prophet smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I know you will ask this question. The reason for this is very simple, because it is difficult for me to grow anymore, and you still have unlimited growth potential. If there is anyone in this world who can pose a threat to the God of Nature, it must be you guys."
Xiao Chen said: "I still don't understand this, why can we do it, but you can't?"
First know: "Because God is inherently corrupt. God is a pitiful creature standing on the opposite side of evolution."
