She paused for a moment, sighed softly, and continued, "You can even say... even I and Tusheng are far weaker than you in this aspect."
As born divine personalities, everything Naa and Tusheng possess is derived from the essence of the gods. Therefore, in this respect, if they want to defy the rules of the gods themselves, they will have to pay a heavier price.
Like Metamorphosis, Naija once tried her best to find a way to save the world, but unfortunately, all her efforts to save the world failed. The most important reason was that she was the god himself.
The same is true for Metamorphosis. The grand plan of salvation she constructed is almost the same as the place of origin, Victoria.
She grants mortals six paths, giving them the power to fight against "Doomsday", and uses her "Transformation" path as a foundation to continuously recover from failure until the moment of victory is reached.
But even Victoria couldn't escape failure.
Metamorphosis created the four origin places, not because her power was limited to creating the four origin places.
This is because the four places of origin are the limit of saving the birth of "Doomsday". If it is expanded a little bit more, the speed of the arrival of "Doomsday" after being saved will be even more jaw-dropping, simply because everything that Metamorphosis has comes from "Doomsday".
The fact that Luo Ling has come this far has actually completely exceeded Naya's expectations. The result she had foreseen was that Luo Ling would embark on the path of transformation again and then become another Transcendent.
But now... it's completely different.
Now, except for the power of "Doomsday", everything Luo Ling possesses, although immature and weak, belongs completely to her.
"You know what? Actually... before Tuisheng died, she told me that she had found a glimmer of hope."
Naya held his chin, a look of reminiscence flashed across his eyes, and he continued,
"As someone who has had similar experiences, I naturally don't want to believe it. I have witnessed countless tragedies of gods. In the end of countless multiverses, the best one could only safely drive away a remaining civilization.
"Even so, the journey of this civilization is still not smooth. Nibelungen originated from a part of the wreckage of this civilization. It was discovered by Transformation and actively led into this world. At that time, she was still hoping to find a way to save the world, but unfortunately she found nothing. In the process, she even accidentally leaked a hint of "Doomsday" to the outside world."
Luo Ling had heard about this matter from Naya before, but now he knew it in more detail.
As for where this trace of "doomsday" that was leaked due to the influence of the Nibelungen went, neither Naia nor Tusheng knew.
Naya raised her head slightly and looked straight at Luo Ling. She had always been charming and alluring but could never catch Luo Ling's eyes. However, at this moment, a look emerged in her that even moved Luo Ling. It was hard to imagine that sadness and joy, two completely different emotions, could appear in the same look at the same time.
"It was not until this moment that I finally realized that you are the ray of hope. Perhaps... you can really do what Tusheng and I have tried our best but are unable to do.
-Save the world once and for all."
Before this, Naya had always been pessimistic, but she was not pessimistic because of her failure with Tusheng, and she knew clearly the nature of gods. Until Luo Ling appeared in front of her, she saw that Luo Ling had completely inherited everything from Tusheng, but did not completely become Tusheng. Instead, a unique turning point appeared.
A ray of light that never appeared amidst countless tragedies.
So, she no longer just prayed like before that Luo Ling would not follow in her footsteps.
Instead, he believed in Luo Ling's future with hope.
"It sounds like I'm more like a miracle." Luo Ling said softly.
"Every 'miracle' has a price." Naya shook his head and said, "I never believe in miracles."
Although he is the god of "miracles and despair", Naia's attitude towards "miracles" is unexpectedly averse.
".....Price?" Luo Ling murmured in a low voice, and then thought of something and sighed, "Perhaps, I have already paid it."
Countless sacrifices, these... are the price this world has paid.
And her existence is just a faint hope gained in exchange for these costs.
After the words fell, Naya's expression was rarely seen for a moment, but he chuckled.
In the blink of an eye, Naya's heaviness and sadness disappeared completely. He looked at Luo Ling with his usual expression, full of interest and a little teasing.
"Come to think of it, it's a bit of a pity. I thought you would become a Transcendent in the end."
"Hmm? Am I not one now?"
Hearing the first person's words, Luo Ling blinked in confusion.
"I mean, the Tuisheng I know." Naya showed a sad and resentful expression, and continued, "You know? At first I thought you were the reincarnation of Tuisheng or something, and I wasted a lot of feelings on you.
"Of course, now that you are her beloved daughter, all these feelings are not in vain. You should regard everything that happened in the past as the love of your second mother!"
Between the words, Naya had already tacitly acknowledged the relationship between her and Tuisheng, even though she had not formally confirmed it before Tuisheng's death.
..”
Luo Ling remained silent. Of course, she could now tell that Naya's words were a mixture of half truth and half falsehood. They were not entirely the truth, but they were not all lies either.
But even if it's just this...
All a bit creepy.
Luo Ling has not forgotten the interaction between her and Naya before...
Is the second mother's love a little too strong
When he thought of this, Luo Ling felt a headache.
"I remember I should have said that I wasn't... Besides, didn't you say that at the time?" Luo Ling asked, pulling the corner of his mouth.
"Just because it wasn't then doesn't mean it won't be in the future. The nature of gods... you don't need me to explain it to you now." Naya said quietly, "You have inherited everything from the Ascension, so you should know this best."
Indeed... very clear.
Luo Ling was silent. She was still frightened by the situation at the end of the battle. She was just a little bit away from completely transforming into the "Doomsday" personality and pressing the button of destruction for the entire world.
If this is really the case, Luo Ling has indeed become the person of the past in a factual sense.
This was the same result that Naya had expected at the beginning.
At that time, Naya had been watching the fight between Luo Ling and the black dragon, but she could not intervene at all.
However, Elsa and Su Wan, who escaped, received some help from Naya. Whether it was maintaining the Little Lost Hometown or assisting them in escaping to a safe place through dimensional jumps, Naya secretly contributed his efforts.
You know, dimensional jumps are not stable. Elsa and Su Wan who jump rashly will most likely fall headfirst into the depths of nothingness, from which they will be unable to escape no matter what. By then, even Luo Ling will be unable to rescue them.
... As the "doomsday" Luo Ling, annihilation is easy, but if she wants to save it, it is not her professional match.
However, even the best result that Naya obtained after countless deductions was not better than Luo Ling’s current situation. Luo Ling not only mastered the "doomsday", but also gave birth to a new rule of gods.
Even if the newborn god is weak, he is still a god and a ray of hope that has never appeared before.
"So... you are actually looking forward to my becoming a Transcendence Mom?" Luo Ling asked tentatively.
"Oh my, don't say that. I don't expect you to lose." Naya said with a smile, "But if that happens, it's not unacceptable."
Luo Ling could only remain silent, and his gaze towards Naya gradually changed slightly.
Of course, she knew that Naya's words were half true and half false, and she didn't necessarily believe them all, but she still felt uncomfortable being told that.
Luo Ling found that as long as she improved her favorability towards Naya even a little, she would always do something that would make her lose her temper instantly...
I don't know if she did it on purpose or accidentally.
"However, everything has settled down. I will never see my old friend again." Naya sighed, and at this time some of his true feelings were revealed.
Only after losing something will one regret it. When the transformation of the past was nearing the end, Naya looked at her leaving back and finally realized his true feelings.
Luo Ling can actually understand this. After spending some time with him, she found that Naya's personality was quite awkward, and it really fits the definition of the "chaos" path...
"Aren't there traces of my mother's transformation left in various places of origin and even in your dreams? If you really miss her, can't you just see these afterimages?" Luo Ling asked curiously.
"Ling, your words are really hurtful." Naya lowered his eyes slightly and sighed, "These are just the afterimages left over from the past. Seeing them more will only make me more sad."
Gods can appear at any point in time. Time and space are meaningless to gods. Tuisheng completely disappeared when she created the four origin places, but before her disappearance, the afterimage she left behind was still spread throughout all the origin places until Luo Ling replaced Tuisheng and became the new god.
"... Sorry." Luo Ling said in a low voice.
"You don't have to apologize to me. If you really feel sorry, wait until all this is successful, and then let your transformed mother come out to see me." Naya's long and narrow eyes were almost narrowed into a line, but his gaze was unpredictable.
"Um... can I see her?" Luo Ling was slightly stunned. "I mean, after I succeed... can I revive my mother?"
At this point, Luo Ling suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately became alert.
"Wait a minute, Naya, you don't want me to pretend to be your mother and come to see you..."
Luo Ling has encountered this kind of thing of being used as a meal replacement countless times along the way.
In addition to Naya, there are also Aunt Fiona, Miss Iris, and perhaps Miss Xuanyuan'e can also be counted among them...
Although Luo Ling is quite slow most of the time, he can still distinguish things sometimes.
"Ling, what are you thinking? Am I so hungry that I won't even let my daughter go?"
Naya said this righteously, with a sense of righteousness.
But in Luo Ling's opinion, it seemed a bit... too sanctimonious.
Luo Ling nodded slightly silently, indicating that yes, Naya, this is the kind of person you are in my eyes.
However, Naya seemed not to notice Luo Ling's reaction.
Sometimes, Luo Ling really admires Naya's ability to lie with open eyes...
"If that's not the case, if I really succeed, will my mother... come back?" Luo Ling hesitated for a while, but still asked.
"Who knows? No one has succeeded before." Naia held his chin and said leisurely, "They are clearly two gods, but they are the embodiment of the same consciousness... This is even more rare than breaking the law that 'gods can never meet each other'. Who knows what the final result will be?"
Her expression suddenly became more serious, and she said softly,
"However, one thing is certain... Ling, you are creating an unprecedented future."
"So... please let me see the different endings of gods."
Chapter 2 Sorry, I already have it (5k)
Luo Ling did not stay in Naa's lost kingdom for too long. It was not because she was worried that Naa would do something to her, but because she had said everything she needed to say and there was no point in staying any longer.
In addition, Luo Ling had some important things to do, and had not yet checked on Su Wan and Elsa.
What's more, to use an inappropriate statement, no matter whether this world will be completely destroyed by the "doomsday" disaster in the end, Naa, as the personality of a god, will not disappear. At that time, Luo Ling will have plenty of time to look at this somewhat annoying face.
In fact, the current Naiya, at least the Naiya that appears in this world, is completely under Luo Ling's control.
Because the way Naia appeared in this world was as the embodiment of the "Chaos" path, and "Chaos" was ultimately just a part of the "Doomsday" path.
Luo Ling, who has complete control over "Doomsday", only needs a thought to take back the power of the "Chaos" path and completely drive Naya out of this world, but there is no benefit in doing so.
Naya is a bit annoying sometimes, and often has bad intentions, but in fact, she has helped Luo Ling many times along the way, although most of the reason is because her old lover is Luo Ling's mother who has been transformed.
Besides...
She has been a god for who knows how many years, and she indeed showed the new god Luo Ling a side of her that he had never heard of, such as the limitations common to all gods.
He possesses the most powerful force in the world, but is also restricted by this force. He cannot escape the constraints of the gods' rules no matter what.
When she first became a god, Luo Ling was somewhat unsure, because she realized how insignificant everything she had was compared to the "end of the world", until Naya told her that other gods were in a much worse situation than her...
You don’t know until you compare. After the comparison, Luo Ling’s mood eased a lot.
After parting with Naa, Luo Ling just took a step and in the blink of an eye returned to the most remote location in the entire universe, the location of the four origin places.
Now, in this universe filled with nothingness, every place can be regarded as an extension of Luo Ling. She has complete control over everything in "Doomsday" and no longer needs to use other tools to peek into the depths of nothingness.
At this moment, Valhalla is still missing, and Luo Ling doesn't even need to use the Little Lost Hometown to explore it. He can find it with just a quick glance.
In addition to preventing the spread of the "Doomsday" disaster, Luo Ling can do everything.
Unfortunately, this is exactly what she wants to do most.
Luo Ling was increasingly able to understand the predicament faced by her mother in the past. The word "despair" was not just uttered verbally.
The four places of origin that were so vast that they were unimaginable in the past now appear particularly small and fragile in Luo Ling's vision. If he wants to destroy them completely, he doesn't even need to think about it, he just needs to empty his mind.
A mere slight action by the gods can be an irresistible calamity for the mortal world.
At the edge of the four origin places, Luo Ling found the dilapidated Little Lost Hometown. Su Wan and Elsa forcibly left the battlefield through dimensional jump before the final battle, but even with Naya guarding in secret, this behavior was still too dangerous.
Before the Xiaoshixiang leapt, it was almost completely destroyed by the aftermath of the battle with the pitch-black dragon, leaving only one core that could barely drive it.
In addition to the strength of the dimensional jump, Naya wanted to take them directly back to the four origin places. Unfortunately, the Little Lost Hometown was not well supported and could only get as close as possible. Currently, it was only near the "Hall of Valor".
And now, after the jump was completed, the Xiaoshixiang had been completely shattered and became a pile of scrap metal drifting in the virtual world.
At this moment, Su Wan was curled up in the Little Lost Hometown, holding Elsa. Elsa was still in a coma. Su Wan had completely overdrawn herself and had no extra strength to support her to use the power of "Transformation" to protect herself from the erosion of nothingness.
Therefore, they could only rely on the remaining power of the Little Lost Hometown to resist the annihilation of nothingness, and then take this time to recover, at least to the distance that would allow them to return to their "home" in the Kingdom of God.
Although "Valhalla" and Valhalla are both near the broken Little Lost Homeland, this "nearby" is full of unknowns in the void that is completely undetectable, so Su Wan has no plans to find "Valhalla" or Valhalla to rest.
However, judging from the current situation, it might be quite difficult for them to hold on to a suitable position.
"Unexpectedly, although he escaped the battle between Xiao Ling and the pitch-black dragon, he died on the way to escape..."
There was a hint of bitterness on Su Wan's little face, but more of it was worry.
