Ring of Fate

Chapter 1013 Interpretation of Symbols (Ask for double monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)
Lumian organized his words and explained that the avatar might be an identity, that the identity of "Zhou Mingrui" lacked corresponding interpersonal relationships, that the existence of Peng Deng and Zhang Yujia was even more special, and that Grisha, Peng Deng's roommate, appeared in the emergency center of Mushu Hospital.

"From a time traveler's perspective, the corresponding details are indeed problematic. Zhou Mingrui seems to be just a name. The person who shares a room with Siatas and works at Intis Group, whose brother is Benson and whose sister is Shasha, looks more like Klein Moretti." Ms. Justice nodded slowly. "Except for the Dream City itself, Peng Deng, and Zhang Yujia, the other important characters do not come from the First Age or before the First Age."

For the time being, she treated the super-ancient times mentioned by "Holy Grail II" as the history of the First Age or before the First Age.

——So far, the Tarot Club knows almost nothing about events before the Second Age.

Having said that, Ms. Justice fell silent, as if she was lost in thought.

The Magician glanced at her and said to Lumian:
"Since Pengden and Grisha may be related to the ancient sun god, let me first tell you the relevant information we know. Of course, it is limited to the part you have access to."

At this time, Janna noticed the movement in the living room and came down from the second floor.

She looked around, found a place to sit quietly, and listened to the "Magician" lady talk about the ancient sun god with Lumian.

The Magician thought for a moment and said:

"I once told you that the source of all extraordinary powers can be traced back to the original creator."

Lumian and Jenna nodded at the same time.

Ms. Magician continued:
"In the beginning, the Creator created this world, and at a certain moment, he disintegrated himself, splitting into different paths of extraordinary characteristics. Well, it may be because of the horrific impact of his self-disintegration that the super ancient civilization where Mr. Fool and the Second of the Holy Grail lived was completely destroyed. Only a part of the human race survived, ushering in the first era we call the 'Chaos Era'."

“Was the Celestial Lord born at that time? Mr. Fool and Franka should have been suspended on that light gate before the collapse of the super ancient civilization.” Lumian said something whose specific meaning Janna could not understand at the moment.

The "Magician" lady pondered for a few seconds and said:
"According to our current knowledge, the final Creator possessed the tendency to both separate and aggregate. Before He completely disintegrated, He should have already developed a personality, or a split in the Godhead. Tianzun may belong to one of the split Godheads. Therefore, Tianzun's spiritual imprint is as indelible as that of the original Creator, and will always exist in the corresponding Beyonder characteristics."

Jane understood this and blurted out:
"Then Mr. Fool will never be able to truly defeat the Heavenly Lord?"

"We can only merge and confront each other, and gain a certain upper hand over a long period of time." The "Magician" lady smiled bitterly, "There is a saying in the dream city that makes sense: in the long run, we will all die."

Lumian, Jenna and the others were silent.

The “Magician” lady put away her wry smile and said:

"At that time, there were other Godheads that emerged, one of whom you can call 'God'.

"The history of the First Era may be the history of the confrontation between God and the Celestial Lord. This is our only knowledge of that period of history. It is not guaranteed to be correct. Anyway, at the end of the First Era, someone unknown happened. The two of them died at the same time, and the Beyonder characteristics split more thoroughly. They left the first blasphemous slate in a secret place."

The first blasphemous tablet that recorded the twenty-two paths of God.

"Which paths of 'audience' and 'secret prayer' are occupied by God?" Lumian roughly understood what the "magician" lady wanted to say.

The "Magician" lady nodded and said:

"The five paths of 'audience', 'secret prayer', 'reader', 'sailor', and 'praiser' are symbols of omniscience and omnipotence."

"Five paths..." It was not Lumian and Janna who sighed, but Ms. Justice.

Of course, Lumian and Janna were also shocked. Tianzun and Mr. Fool occupied three paths!

“The number of pathways is not the key to the great beings’ power.” Ms. Magician explained simply, without going into detail. “The ancient sun god became a god based on the Singer, and collected the uniqueness of the corresponding pathways and the minimum required Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics. Afterwards, He was betrayed, fell, and split. However, all signs indicate that before He fell, He had actually encountered what Mr. Fool encountered, and God revived in His body.

"After the fall of the Ancient Sun God, his legacy was divided into five parts. He gave one part to the 'Imaginary Angel' in advance, one part was used to breed the 'True Creator' and the second 'Profane Slate' on his corpse, and the remaining three parts were divided up by the three Angel Kings at the time."

Ms. Magician didn’t tell us what happened to the three Angel Kings later, but Lumian and Janna both had a vague guess.

"A few years ago, the 'Angel of Imagination' became a god and obtained, well, I don't know whether it was the second or the first blasphemous tablet. Anyway, he used it to go to the 'God-Forsaken Land' and merged with the 'True Creator'.

"That's basically what happened. I can't guarantee whether the specific details are correct or not," Ms. Magician said finally.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ms. Justice came out of her contemplation and looked at Lumian and Janna and said:

“I have a guess about the identities and symbols of Pengden, Grisha, and Zhang Yujia.”

…………

In a cafe in Dream City.

After Anthony handed Ludwig over to Franca, he asked Peng Deng out under the pretext of continuing the last consultation.

He was ready to rent a bare house and pay a deposit for decoration. Anyway, Zhou Shasha would arrive in Yangdu the day after tomorrow, and they might not have a chance to spend the remaining money!

Seeing Peng Deng put down his black backpack and sit opposite him, Anthony smiled and greeted him:

"I have a friend who knows Zhou Mingrui. I heard that you are Zhou Mingrui's childhood friend?"

Anthony was not worried that this statement would cause any obvious change, because it was a common negotiation tactic - building closer relationships to get a favorable price.

After placing the phone to his right hand, Peng Deng raised his head.

A smile appeared on his seemingly ordinary face:
"Yes, I am not only Zhou Mingrui's childhood friend, but also everyone else's childhood friend."

Other people's childhood friends... Why did he emphasize this? Whose childhood friend was he? Anthony's spirit suddenly tensed up.

…………

Trier, inside a luxurious villa.

Ms. Justice stood up and drew a translucent, dreamy wooden board with her right hand.

“Peng Deng once caused the Four of Swords to hallucinate due to his own fear and escape from the dream on his own initiative.” Ms. Justice said as she made Peng Deng’s photo and these words take shape virtually and pasted them on the wooden board.

Then she sketched a portrait of Grisha:
“This is Peng Deng’s roommate who showed up at the emergency center of Muk Suk Hospital last night.

"This is Nie Zhen, Peng Deng's girlfriend."

After adding Nie Zhen's illusory photo, Ms. Justice paused and said:

"This is the boss of Aurora Company, which corresponds to the 'Aurora Society' in reality. Their boss is likely to symbolize the 'real creator' and is closely related to the ancient sun god."

As she spoke, Ms. Justice also pasted the photo of the half-naked boss of Aurora Company onto the dreamy wooden board.

After two seconds, Ms. Justice continued in a slow voice:

"Zhang Yujia once sent Zhou Mingrui a postcard with a picture of the Bone Church on it.

"And for a long time, the Bone Church was an iconic thing owned by the 'Angel of Fantasy'."

When Zhang Yujia’s profile photo was also posted on the illusory wooden board, Ms. Justice smiled and said:
"The audience reaches the Dream Weaver sequence, where they can separate their past identities or personalities and become a real person who can sleep, eat, socialize, and do things normally.

"Now, there are five people listed on the blackboard, and there are five ways to be omniscient and omnipotent..."

Before Ms. Justice could come to a conclusion, Anthony suddenly came down from upstairs.

After seeing the Magician lady and Lumian and the others, he began to explain:

“After contacting Peng Deng today, I was kicked out of the dream, and this time it was not because of fear.

"However, I heard some information from Peng Deng's hints."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Anthony paused and said in a deep voice:
“Peng Deng is not only Zhou Mingrui’s childhood friend, he is also likely Tianzun’s childhood friend!”

Upon hearing this, Ms. Justice raised the corners of her mouth slightly and revealed a smile.

She pointed to the illusory photo on the translucent blackboard and said:
“It’s the same with Peng Deng and Zhang Yujia.

"Peng Deng's girlfriend Nie Zhen, his roommate Grisha, and the boss of Aurora Company, who is the easiest to identify, all point to the same symbol."

“Tian Zun’s childhood friend is God?” Lumian roughly understood what Peng Deng specifically symbolized.

This symbol was affected by the characteristics of the “audience” pathway and became differentiated, not only in Peng Deng, but also in the other four people.

"One of the people who least wants Tianzun to be resurrected may be God, so I have made special arrangements to guide you to the underground area of ​​Mushu Hospital to find the corresponding psychological shadow." Ms. "Magician" said in a tone of "so that's it".

Ms. Justice thought for a moment and said in a lower voice:

"If the one that the Aurora Society believes in now enters a dream, he should be able to choose one of these five images as his own body. Peng Deng could be him, Nie Zhen could be him, Grisha could be him, Zhang Yujia could be him, and the boss of Aurora Corporation could also be him."

The "magician" lady suddenly had a new idea:
"Peng Deng and Grisha are living together, and Nie Zhen is about to move in with them. Does this symbolize that the three of them are merging together?

"Moving out represents separation and confrontation?"
