I was a charlatan in India

"Divinity is deceiving people."

Incense Ash combed through its body, taking in the current situation.

"Shenhe, if he truly exists in the past, present, and future simultaneously, as he claims."

"Then your plan to drag the golden Buddha down from the stage and prevent yourself from returning to divinity would not have succeeded."

"Not to mention, things like now, which render Him ineffective."

Shenhe agreed: "Yes, there are obvious problems here."

Then he turned to divinity: "Why don't you try to justify yourself?"

Their direct dialogue inevitably touches upon divinity, making it highly unlikely that any conspiracy could exist among these three.

The deity opened its eyes and replied calmly, "It doesn't matter, I don't care."

"Look, he's still pretending."

Shenhe turned to Xianghui: "So, what are you planning to do with this guy?"

"He overheard our conversation as well, making it difficult to accomplish any conspiracy."

Incense Ash immediately pointed out Shenhe's mistake: "No, Shenhe, the situation is not quite what you think."

"There was a part of your communication with divinity that I couldn't connect with, which means our dialogue wasn't completely transparent."

"I think the main reason is that you belong to His followers, not mine."

"So the first thing I'll do is make you my follower."

"Can."

Shenhe was very cooperative.

After scanning the room, he first removed the glasswares and kept them far away from Arti before returning to the room to grab the IV drip.

Hmph, Brother Da Tian is so stingy. I never said I wanted to take it back.

As Shenhe was about to grab the IV drip again, Arti's heart skipped a beat.

When we first arrived here, Brother Da Tian was holding that glass bottle, looking all silly and goofy.

Could it be that it caused this?

Are we going to go back to being silly again?

No! I knelt for so long to bring you back to your senses!

Fortunately, Brother Datian put the glass bottle down again soon, and he didn't become stupid.

He sprinkled incense ash and said, "Alright, tell me your plan."

Shenhe could probably guess Xianghui's plan because their knowledge and logic were very similar.

The incense ash is currently in a delicate state; it can respond to believers without being contaminated by them, making it the best candidate to break the deadlock.

Of course, this pollution is borne by oneself and by divinity.

As long as it doesn't betray its own beliefs or collapse, it can gradually change its followers.

"Shenhe River".

The ash-covered body spoke: "I need to sacrifice you."

really.

"Based on the intelligence we have, divinity cannot be killed normally; at least, we don't know how to destroy a god."

"We can only modify Him, make Him more controllable, and then integrate Him into ourselves."

Shenhe agreed: "But you're worried that I might die or go completely insane before it's finished, causing unnecessary complications, right?"

"Yes."

"Tell me your plan."

Shenhe could even guess the plan itself.

After a moment of silence, Xiang Hui spoke.

"You should understand that I can't possibly give you all of my memories."

"Because I now want to control this space, if you accept my memories, things could easily escalate into a struggle between the three of us for control of this space."

"Whether based on selfishness or the greater good, this is inappropriate."

On this point, incense ash makes no attempt to conceal its presence.

Shenhe nodded to the air: "I understand."

Incense Ash continued.

"So, perhaps the impact on believers can be mitigated by covering it up for now, but your memories are limited."

"As the number of believers increases, your memories will take up less and less space, and eventually become negligible. This is the biggest destabilizing factor."

Shenhe remained silent for a moment. The logic behind it wasn't difficult, and these were indeed the results he could arrive at through his own way of thinking.

If I were to follow my own personality, the solution I would probably offer would be to copy countless copies of my own memories and repeatedly fill the consciousness of Shenhe, the original owner of this body.

In this way, the believers cannot breach the Shen River.

However, as Xiang Hui said, this is a matter of self-sacrifice.

He will repeat his limited life again and again. As the number of believers increases, he will have to fight against more and more pollution, and he will have to repeat this cycle more and more times.

"I will copy your memories..."

look.

One mind cannot come up with two possible outcomes.

However, there is still a problem: will I go crazy in the process, or will I come to some new understanding?

Those who frequently experience resurrection know that a slightly intelligent person can become a prophet after just one resurrection, let alone after countless resurrections.

"I'll be confused, and it's hard to say whether I'll get bored or even break down later."

"If I go crazy in this cycle, things will be just as uncontrollable."

Shenhe raised questions.

Now, in order to stop divinity, I will definitely have to sacrifice myself. The only problem is how to make this sacrifice worthwhile.

"So I will make you a promise."

"Shenhe, as long as you can hold on, I will help you regain your senses after I successfully change the believers and merge with divinity."

"During this time, I will take good care of the believers and relatives you cherish. You know, I have feelings for them too."

"At that time, you'll have a god standing behind you who owes you something, allowing you to easily live the superhero life you've always wanted. That would be a perfect outcome for you."

"And I will preserve this memory of yours, so that you will understand why you keep repeating the same life."

"Leave the rest to me."

Shenhe hesitated for a long time before finally sighing helplessly as if he had made up his mind: "Alright, it's up to you."

"However, I want to stay sober for another day or two to lay the groundwork for Arti. This memory shouldn't have much of an impact, right?"

"no problem."

Incense Ash readily agreed: "Then, it will be forty-eight hours. Two days later, I will bring Arti back and begin the cycle of overwriting your memories."

"no problem."

Shenhe's answer was exactly the same as Xianghui's body.

but……

He and Xiang Hui now have completely different feelings.

It's not because I'm going to become a victim.

The main reason is that when communicating this plan through the body of the incense ash, a divine voice resounded in his mind.

"Shenhe, don't respond to me."

"I can hear your conversation, but don't let the incense ash body find out."

Then, as they discussed each word of the plan, the divinity spoke a few seconds in advance, revealing what the incense ash body was about to say.

The choice of words, sentence structure, tone, and intonation are all perfect!

Divinity may not be deceiving us; it truly exists in the past, present, and future!

But why would he let himself discover this?

Shenhe's first reaction was that Xianghui's plan had some fatal flaw, and that if he knew about it, it might cause the plan to fail.

The plan involving incense ash is undoubtedly feasible.

As long as Shenhe can hold on, Xianghui will be able to take control of the divine kingdom as he wishes, and even become a god who is not held hostage by believers.

As for myself, well...

If I could eventually become a little superhero, that wouldn't be unacceptable.

The incense ash also promised to take good care of believers and their relatives and friends.

It seems that everyone, except for the divine, has a bright future.

In other words, He must have been very keen to stop this plan.

A plan to "slay the gods".
