Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 178: Ascending to the God Level
It has to be said that the world chat quickly went from casually stirring up trouble to everyone starting to dig into his identity.

Unexpectedly, the more I dug, the more I found.

Some people have come out to complain that this ID has done a lot of bad things. During the snowy dungeon, he joined a lot of guilds, but he always just talked the talk without walking the walk, and he always liked to morally blackmail others.

Strangely enough, for some reason, the guild leaders he joined always trusted him inexplicably.

It wasn't until later that someone discovered he seemed to have some strange skill: hypnosis.

After this was discovered, some people tried to hunt him down, but without exception, all those who went to hunt him down never returned.

Because he was so sinister, no one wanted to mess with him, and he disappeared for a long time, eventually fading from people's memories.

This sudden revelation has stirred up some unpleasant memories for many people.

After such a thorough exposé, Yun Danfeng's previous remarks seem particularly laughable.

Jiang Ran also took the opportunity to voice her suspicions.

[World] Young Lady: "There's only one reason why the Cowardly Lizard suddenly jumped out. I'm curious, what benefits did the saintess and that so-called god behind you promise you that you dare to provoke me like this? It seems I didn't take you seriously back then, giving you the illusion that my temper has improved."

Upon hearing the young lady's words, many players who had just experienced despair and a miraculous turn of events became curious about who the saintess she was referring to was.

Soon, people connected the dots with what Jiang Ran posted before the end of the third instance, and combined with the screenshots she had just posted, it seemed to vaguely point to something extraordinary.

[World] Stuck Otherwise Could Kill: "Speaking of which, does anyone remember that so-called omniscient god who suddenly became popular not long ago? If I remember correctly, the dungeon suddenly ended early, right after the young lady and those who supported the omniscient god got looted?"

[World] Jeffrey: "Huh? Could it be that the end of the original instance was because the young lady exposed the so-called omniscient god's true nature? And that floating island, that must be the Paro Island that the young lady mentioned before, which was trying to annex our Blue Star, right? Its purpose wasn't to end the apocalypse at all; it was the one that caused this apocalypse!!"

After his past was exposed, Yun Danfengqing began to play dead and remain silent.

Although a lot of people tagged him and asked him to continue "chatting" with the young lady, some people asked him if he was sent by the omniscient god to sow discord among all the players, and some even said they were going to directly position him as "Calm and Composed" to curry favor with the young lady.

His profile picture was still lit up, but he didn't say another word.

How could Jiang Ran possibly let him pretend to be dead to make him happy?
Just now, she suddenly discovered a huge surprise.

The mental reconstruction progress bar, which was originally halfway through, was completely maxed out after the previous crisis ended!
Now, all of Jiang Ran's attribute values ​​have disappeared, replaced by a single progress bar that has advanced by 0.72%.

The progress bar is named... Ascending the Divine Stairs.

Although Jiang Ran didn't quite understand why it was called "Ascending the Divine Steps," she thought of her previous passive skill, "Synchronization."

Upon opening it, I found that being on the same wavelength had indeed been upgraded to a belief.

Jiang Ran clicked on the golden word "Faith," and a prompt box popped up.

All the faith points you collect will become the foundation for your ascension to godhood.

Upon seeing this notification, Jiang Ran's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

She thought of those orbs of light that had succeeded only because they relied on the will of Earth. She didn't know if that was what faith was. But she wondered, if gods could be born on Paro Island, why couldn't they be born on Earth?
The "gods" of Paro Island derive their power from Paro Island itself, and transform themselves by consuming other worlds.

Could Jiang Ran then conclude that both the giant eyeball and the giant octopus are simply extensions of the will of Paro Island?

Despite being called a deity, it is more like a tool of Paro Island.

If that's the case, if a tiny island like Paro can create a god, why can't Earth do the same?
The massive surge of faith that just occurred only pushed the progress bar to less than 1%, presumably because most of the faith was directed at Earth itself, and Jiang Ran only managed to get a small share.

Even knowing that the birth of faith might be closely related to other players, Jiang Ran did not intend to use the act of sending supplies to "win over" those players.

Because she knew better than anyone that players' love and hate were all too fleeting.

Players might feel good about Jiang Ran now because she just resolved a crisis, but if she starts giving away supplies to boost her faith points, all that awaits her is a backlash.

After all, no matter how much supplies Jiang Ran had, she couldn't possibly supply all the surviving players indefinitely; she had heard far too many stories of gratitude for small favors and resentment for excessive ones.

Most importantly, Jiang Ran is currently unable to resolve the issue of the Heavenly Ranking.

In other words, as long as the leaderboard is updated, players at the bottom of the list will still be eliminated.

As long as this doesn't change, she will never be able to gather much faith through material possessions.

But it's fine to give those big-eyed people some eye drops; we can't let the Holy Maiden and her gang hide behind the scenes and stir up trouble.

Having made up her mind, Jiang Ran naturally couldn't let go of that nonchalant guy.

[World] Young Lady: "@Calm and breezy. Either tell me directly what the Holy Maiden wants you to do, or I'll give you ten seconds to escape."

Now, if you see the young lady say such things, no one will think she is talking nonsense.

Moreover, the other players also wanted to know what Jiang Ran was saying.

Nobody wants to become a tool for others to exploit for no reason, and even less does anyone want to pay for being used with their life.

Judging from the information Jiang Ran had previously revealed, the situation of the players who were taken to Paro Island was not necessarily good.

With that strange look that makes people uncomfortable, it's hard to believe that believing in that so-called "omniscient God" is a good thing.

If that's the case, then those who initially touted an omniscient god... and those who secretly spread information that seemed like some kind of cheat code, are quite interesting to ponder.

After all, the initial statements that "only players on the top leaderboard can reach Paro Island" and "only by reaching Paro Island can all this end" influenced a large number of people.

The more secretive the news is, the more people believe it to be true.

Now that Jiang Ran has exposed everything and pieced together all that information, everyone can sense the conspiracy at play.

As for Jiang Ran, as long as Big Eyeball can no longer harvest from the player base, it's already like cutting off one of its arms.
