Chapter 676 Lin Yuan’s Path to Becoming a God
The year of Gengshen is terrible.

This is a fact recognized by all captains, even if they are only in Dadong City and can get a glimpse of the whole picture from one example.

The second generation of Wang family in Dadong City is not a waste like Wang Chaling, the third generation of Wang family. He held two ghosts transformed from top ghost controllers in the Republic of China period, but in the end he couldn't make any noise.

On the contrary, the Wang family became very famous in the supernatural circle in the Gengshen year, making countless people very wary.

However, even such a Wang family was still blocked by people in the supernatural circle in the Gengshen year and could not even go out of the door. A Zhang Cave, which had never been heard of before, caused such an effect.

Besides Zhang Dong, are there any other similar characters?
The answer is definitely yes.

To the extent that in this era, the Peace Hotel is not well-known, which makes people wonder if it is because there are too many horrors in this era, and Lin Yuan of this era is far from reaching his peak, so he hides his existence.

Only when Lin Yuan’s strength reaches a limit in reality will he return from the future to the past to make some changes?
The information about Lin Yuan is like the white fog outside the Peace Hotel. It is unclear and hard to see through, and one can only guess based on the limited information.

And now, the Lin Yuan in front of him, who was clearly born in the Gengshen year, was suspected of having encountered a supernatural invasion in the Peace Hotel in the Gengshen year. It seemed... not something difficult to accept?

"Memory invasion? I forgot you were still here."

Lin Yuan immediately figured out the man’s identity—Shen Lin!
When fighting against Chen Qiaoyang, Shen Lin tried to invade Chen Qiaoyang's memory, wanting to kill Chen Qiaoyang at an earlier time, when Chen Qiaoyang had just entered the game and there were not so many ghosts around him.

However, he did not understand the strength of the four ghosts around Chen Qiaoyang, so he failed to achieve any success.

After that, Shen Lin never appeared again. Even Yang Jian and Li Leping assumed that Shen Lin was dead. Unexpectedly, he actually invaded through the memories of Yang Jian and Li Leping.

That’s right, he was invading the memories of Yang Jian and Li Leping, not the Peace Hotel.

After finding Lin Yuan of this era, Shen Lin finally achieved his goal. Unfortunately, even if it was the Peace Hotel of this era, the terrifying spirits were still not something he could invade.

Moreover, he did not have the corresponding medium, so he could only invade forcibly through the memories of Yang Jian and Li Leping.

The result was that when he invaded the reality from his memory, he was restricted by the supernatural powers of the white fog ghost realm. Without Lin Yuan's permission, he would not be able to come over.

Lin Yuan is now playing the role of Lin Yuan from the Gengshen Year.

For him, who has rich experience in role-playing, there is no need to worry about his acting skills. What he needs to think about is what he should do and say when facing future captains in this era.

After thinking for a second, Lin Yuan did not stop Shen Lin's invasion. Instead, he released his suppression and allowed Shen Lin to come to this "reality".

Seeing that it was Shen Lin, Yang Jian and Li Leping put away their shock.

This is Lin Yuan's exclusive personal Lu Youqi. Even if he can enter the virtual game, he cannot change this fact. It can only be said that Lin Yuan is too good to Lu Youqi, but it cannot prove how strong Shen Lin is.

Therefore, the reason why Shen Lin can appear here now is definitely not because of his own strength, but because Lin Yuan did not take it too seriously.

"It seems that in this era, Lin Yuan is still very terrifying. His lack of reputation should be like Zhang Dong outside Dadong City, not because of his lack of strength."

After making this judgment, Yang Jian's expression became even more solemn.

What is in front of him is not the normal human consciousness that was cut out, but the complete Lin Yuan. Even though he may not have reached the level of the future "Him", it is not excessive to attach great importance to him.

"You all want to find me?" Lin Yuan knocked on the table, attracting the attention of the three people.

Yang Jian and Li Leping nodded but did not speak. Instead, Shen Lin said with a sullen face, "Actually, I want to find you decades later, but I can't see you at that time, so I can only find a chance to come here."

Lin Yuan nodded. "I roughly understand what you are thinking, but I can't help you with the questions you might ask."

"Why, aren't you the same person?"

Shen Lin was not surprised that Lin Yuan guessed his thoughts, but he became emotional because he didn't get the answer he wanted.

"You're right. We are the same person, but I am at different times. To some extent, we can't get along closely. On the contrary, we might be... enemies."

Lin Yuan's words shocked Shen Lin, Yang Jian and Li Leping.

The store manager Lin Yuan in different periods is not a friend, not a teammate, but just... an enemy?
"That shouldn't be the case, Boss Lin. Although we haven't met our past selves, logically speaking, even if we meet at different times, there shouldn't be any big problems. Why would we become enemies?"

If Lin Yuan in different periods is an enemy, then what does their current virtual game represent?
Li Leping's expression, which was usually calm and numb, became complicated and uneasy at this moment. He felt that the virtual game they played as players was not as simple as he imagined.

Is this virtual game of traveling back to the past really just a temporary boredom work of "him"?
In the past, experts at the headquarters, including them, all agreed with this judgment because they believed in one thing, that is, "His" realm has transcended the mundane.

It overlooks the world from the posture of a god. Therefore, the emergence of virtual games and the existence of the Peace Hotel can all be reasonably explained.

But now, the information provided by Lin Yuan in the Gengshen year makes people have to think in the direction of conspiracy theories.

"In this evil world of the Five Turbidities, hell is empty, evil spirits have revived, and the world is like hell."

Lin Yuan's tone was faint, as if it was not the voice of a human, but more like the embodiment of some kind of will. A strange feeling surged in the hearts of Yang Jian, Shen Lin and Li Leping.

Especially Yang Jian, he always felt that these words should come from his own mouth.

"There are ghosts in the world, and there should be gods. But for countless years, no one has seen gods descend to the world to eliminate evil ghosts. So, someone came up with an idea, which is: since there are no gods in the world, then we can be our own gods!"

Since there is no god in the world, then we should be our own gods? This simple sentence made Yang Jian feel that all the hairs on his body stood up. It was a very strange feeling, as if, as if...

Li Leping frowned and said, "Boss Lin, is what you are talking about now the path you have taken before?"

"Before? No, no, no, this road is still there, and countless people are walking on it. I am walking on it, and you are walking on it too. It's just that your level is too low, and you don't understand this yet."

When he said this, he glanced at Yang Jian again.

In the history of mysterious resurgence, just because Zhang Youhong said "Yang Jian, your level is too low", Yang Jian, a narrow-minded high school student, held a grudge against her until the end.

So what is he saying now?

Just as Lin Yuan said, his words "too low level" made Shen Lin, Li Leping, and Yang Jian feel very uncomfortable.

As the twelve strongest captains in the domestic supernatural circle in reality, anyone who dares to say that they are weak and of low level must have something wrong with his eyes, or even his brain.

But these words were said by Lin Yuan, so... well, with the strength shown by Lin Yuan, he is indeed qualified to say this.

Seeing that Yang Jian did not show any strong emotions, Lin Yuan did not pay too much attention to him. Unless the God Yang Jian appeared at this time, there was no need for him to pay too much attention to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian in the original novel had a very miserable life. In the end, he even fed himself to the ghost child.

From a rookie high school ghost rider who only wanted to make some money for his mother before he died so that she could enjoy her old age, to the god Yang Jian who later took over everything and suppressed everything.

He gave up everything, including his body and consciousness.

Yang Jian's life was too miserable. He had to shoulder the entire world with the body of a high school student. But now there is no need for that. Although Yang Jian has become very ordinary, he is destined not to experience such painful despair again.

As it is now, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong.

"This road is not easy to walk, but in every era, there will be a proud child born. Zhang Dong, although you have not seen it, you should know it."

Yang Jian's expression slightly changed. "Boss Lin, you are not trying to say that the old man blocking the door of the Dadong City branch of the Peace Hotel is the one who has embarked on the path to becoming a god, right?"

Under the incredulous gazes of several people, Lin Yuan nodded slowly, "Yes, you may not know, but as long as you have lived through the Republic of China period and have the background of the Republic of China, you will know that Zhang Dong was an extremely dazzling name in the Republic of China period, and he also became a god on earth in this era! It is precisely because he withstood the greatest pressure, and with the help of many people, that the world has been stable for decades. This is why you all think that supernatural events have only appeared in recent years."

Shen Lin said in a deep voice: "The peace we once enjoyed was because someone was carrying the burden for us. Now, I suddenly understand the meaning of this sentence even more."

They never imagined that it was just a BOSS encountered in the game, but in the end they were told that he was the god of the world who once dominated an era?

Brother, you can’t play games like this!
But besides this, Yang Jian was more concerned about, "Zhang Dong in reality is still alive? But, he is dying?"

Li Leping and Shen Lin looked at each other and reacted instantly.

If nothing had happened to Zhang Dong, the god of the human world in the last era, then supernatural events would not have happened again. The current situation clearly shows that the former god is falling?

"That's right. Zhang Dong and his group took a different path from you. They didn't abandon their human bodies, so no matter how terrifying they are, they still have a lifespan limit. It just so happens that their lifespans have all expired one after another."

Lin Yuan looked outside the store, his eyes complex and deep, as if he was remembering the passing of an era.

“Their generation protected the new era too well. Although there are new generations such as the second generation of the Wang family, Ghost Dream Yang Xiaotian, and Zhang Xianguang, their number is still too small and they are simply unable to bear the weight of the new era.

If all the older generation died at this time, it would be devastating to the world. Therefore, the older generation, led by Zhang Dong, the god of the world, began to gradually relax the suppression of supernatural events. Although there would be considerable casualties in the process, it was also a helpless move.

Only when a new generation grows up can they die with peace of mind, instead of watching the world sink into hell with themselves with endless regrets.

Including themselves, they will also dismember their own spirits before death to avoid reviving an overly terrifying ghost after death, which exceeds the limit of the new era. "

Lin Yuan said a lot, and Yang Jian and others listened for a long time.

The atmosphere in the store took on a sense of history until Shen Lin suddenly asked a question, "Can gods die? Is a mortal god really a god?"

“Perhaps, there has never been a real God in this world. Your definition of God depends on yourselves. From your perspective, Zhang Dong and others have reached the extreme, but they still cannot escape the limitation of lifespan. It is indeed inconsistent with the legendary immortals and gods. But for people of that era, Zhang Dong, who suppressed the supernatural era for nearly a hundred years, can indeed be called a god on earth.” Lin Yuan said.

Yang Jian nodded, "Boss Lin is right. The definition of a god should not only look at strength, but also at what he has done. But I'm more curious about what this has to do with you, Boss Lin, being an enemy of your future self? Or is it because of you, Boss Lin, that you have embarked on a completely different path to becoming a god?"

"Yes, my path is very simple, which is to gather all the selves on the timeline and achieve the oneness."

Lin Yuan spoke calmly, but looking at the expressions of Yang Jian and the others, it was clear that they still didn't understand, so he explained thoughtfully: "I came from the past, so I am destined to have a weak time. Among the supernatural, there are many ways to use special means to go back to the weak period and attack."

Shen Lin nodded.

He has the most say in this matter because his supernatural power is of this kind. He can invade the memory and kill the target when he is still weak.

After hearing this, he roughly understood why he was regarded as a mobile land vehicle.

So, it was because of my supernatural powers?
"Since I want to become a god, I cannot have any weaknesses, so I should not have a weak period. And it is very simple to achieve this."

Lin Yuan's gaze swept across everyone and finally fell on Yang Jian, which made Yang Jian feel a little strange.

His strength is still far from reaching the so-called godhood. He has no idea why Lin Yuan looks at him like this. Or is he actually very special?
Just like when he first met Lin Yuan, he was given special care?
