Chapter 482: A Game Above the Game!
"Where is Chu Du?"
"He just disappeared."
"That guy…"
"Shh, here he comes."
At that moment, Chu Du, dressed in green with a golden sash, suddenly walked in. For some reason, he looked less emotional and more silent.
The timeline started to rewind.
Upon hearing about the Tower of Divine Inspiration, Chu Du went alone to the Tower of the God of Trickery.
Determined to find the opportunity to become a god, he decisively entered it.
What caught his eye was a huge statue. The top half of the statue was a person, while the bottom half was a snake. It had a graceful and somewhat proud posture.
When Chu Du first saw the statue, he heard some voices.
"What do you truly desire?"
"Is it for the power to surpass all others, for eternal life, or perhaps both?"
"Or maybe, you have some other wishes."
"But what if I told you, even if you become a god, you can’t fulfill your wishes. In the end, you’ll only meet a death meant for deceivers. What would you do then?"
Chu Du looked up, "Death?"
"Failure?"
"I’ve come this far, risking everything, giving my all. If what you said is my fate, then I don’t accept it."
The sound came again.
"Whether you believe it or not, what does it matter?"
"From ancient times to now, many people have tried to change their fate and alter their destiny."
"But what they don’t know is that their so-called attempts to change fate are just a part of their destiny."
"Those who delude themselves into changing their fate will ultimately be toyed with by fate."
Chu Du frowned, "Toyed with?"
"If me standing here right now is also destined, then me dying here now would also be part of that destiny, right?"
"Exactly," the voice came again.
"No one can escape their own fate. The more you care, the more you resist, the more you will be controlled by fate."
"If you die here now, it is also part of fate."
"You want to become a god, to rewrite reality with lies, to make the gods disappear, to make the Tower of Seals no longer exist, and eventually resurrect all humans."
"And you, will abolish all humans’ supernatural powers, only you can rule this world."
"Am I right?"
Chu Du fell silent.
"I dislike two types of people the most."
"One type is those who can see through me, the other is those whom I cannot see through."
"Clearly, you possess both of the above."
Looking at the fierce look in Chu Du’s eyes, that voice suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, how sad, how sad. Those who think they can control everything often end up being the ones controlled the most miserably."
"There are always more beyond what we see, people are unique in their own way. The chessboard remains a chessboard, with endless possibilities."
"Well, let me tell you."
"You want to be a hero and a villain at the same time, your good and evil intentions are unclear, full of contradictions and confusion. This is where you are most foolish."
"Throughout history, those who keep changing their minds are often not praised."
"All your choices seem extremely foolish to me, the only right thing you did was to come here, in front of me."
"I sense your desire for power, abandon the so-called Loki legacy, inherit my godly position, and you will discover the truth and make all your wishes come true."
"It is also a part of your destiny."
Chu Du was surprised, "Abandon the position of Loki?"
"You’re right, giving up doesn’t mean failure, it’s a new beginning," the voice said with a heavy tone.
"Are you still hesitating?"
Hesitate?
Chu Du’s gaze sharpened, "I’m willing to accept your legacy…"
"That’s absurd."
Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent.
"What did you say…?"
The voice came with a hint of anger, "Are you mocking me, mocking a god?"
Chu Du grinned, "I think you’re right about something."
"Those who think they can control everything are often the ones who end up being controlled the most."
"Do you really think I’m here to receive some kind of inheritance? I’m just playing a trick on the gods. Are the gods so easily fooled?"
Boom!
The Divine Bestowal Tower suddenly shook as if some kind of will was raging, "How dare you!"
Chu Du calmly stared at the stone statue in front of him, "What can you do then? You can’t do anything."
"If you could do something, you would have done it already instead of just making empty threats here."
"Thank you for helping me complete the eighth test of the Loki god, tricking the gods. I didn’t expect this test to be so simple."
"Claiming to be the God of Trickery, but can only show off language skills here. How sad, truly sad."
"Well then, goodbye, foolish gods."
Chu Du extended two fingers to wave goodbye, then turned to leave.
But at that moment, he suddenly heard laughter behind him.
"Hahaha!"
"Both you and I are just small parts of destiny. We may think we are at the top, having seen through many things, but as I said, on the chessboard, we are all just pieces."
"We are all pawns, but whose pawn are you, can you see that?"
"Hahaha!"
"Watch, I told you, this is your fate. If you don’t believe, then let’s wait and see!"
。。。
Back to the present.
Chu Du walked inside the grand hall, his mind filled with many thoughts.
On the chessboard, it is still a chessboard.
Those who think they are chess players do not know that they are also pawns of others.
These words made sense, and Chu Du felt a connection.
Just like Ye Qiu.
He sensed in Ye Qiu that if he were a pawn too, he would be the most important one on the chessboard.
If likened to a chess game, his position would be equivalent to a grandmaster.
The higher Chu Du climbed, the stronger this feeling became, or in other words, as his power increased, the levels and dimensions he could reach also grew higher.
The closer he got to the chess player, the more he could understand the concept of being a pawn.
Ye Qiu was the most important piece, which is why Chu Du chose to work with him.
Chu Du walked up to the glowing sphere in front of everyone.
The glowing sphere in front of him slowly dissipated, revealing…
A golden key.
Chu Du caught the key and asked, "What is this?"
The Gravekeeper looked at Chu Du and said, "I don’t know, but you will definitely need it, especially at the most crucial moment."
The most crucial moment…
Could this be the final test of Loki’s nine challenges?
Chu Du held the key tightly and wondered, "How could I know who left this for me, and how did they plan for it to come to this point?"
The Gravekeeper looked at the eye flags on the side. Many flags hung in the hall, each with a name on it.
And the name corresponding to this eye flag is Som.
