Everything will return to my hands—
The eternal cycle of reincarnation has become an illusion—
I give you the name of a prophet, I permit you to exalt my name—
I will keep my word, I will—
Standing above the heavens—
Chapter 381 The Approaching End
Thinking about how to write the ending...
------
Time is a relentless stream, flowing by with the murmuring sound of its waters.
The rebellious prophet proclaimed God's revelation and conspired with the world to defy God's great command.
Utterly foolish, utterly foolish...
You have seen it before.
Ever since Chang Yan conveyed His proclamation to the leaders of all major organizations, he has been working frantically to combat cultists.
He was afraid, but not of the pressure God was putting on him.
It is his "id".
It was the name "Changyan" that was pressing him relentlessly.
The self (mostly conscious) is responsible for handling things in the real world.
The id (the completely unconscious mind) represents desires, which are suppressed by consciousness.
The superego (partially conscious) is conscience or inner moral judgment.
His ego and superego were both suppressing his id, but—
Since hearing the nameless murmurs last time, the id has gradually begun to revive, eroding the superego, as if trying to corrupt his consciousness.
He is the last remnant of humanity left in Changyan in the future. He = Changyan, but Changyan ≠ him.
But, but......
When the id is fully reawakened, then—
Who was he back then?
Is he the former savior Changyan, or the remnant of Changyan, or the "Changyan" who once madly longed for immortality?
I don't know, I don't understand, I don't comprehend...
He genuinely couldn't understand this philosophical question, but if it were Him, perhaps He could give him an answer...
but........
— You can't escape it, you can't deny yourself.
—【Come on, open that valve, and abandon those useless morals and humanity】
—Go pursue what we should pursue.
—Aren't all living beings simply beings who exist in this world because of desires?
—[Survival instinct, sexual desire, appetite, desire to explore, love, possessiveness, self-satisfaction...]
—【If there are no desires, then what's the point of living in this world? Even the so-called desirelessness is fundamentally a joke.】
Bizarre, nameless murmurs, with vague echoes, appeared softly in his mind.
A soft, murmuring whisper sounded beside his eardrums, as if someone was standing next to them, quietly talking to him, and occasionally turning around to cautiously glance around.
In reality, the atmosphere in this room also became extremely strange at this moment.
In every shadowy corner, something seemed to be moving about; in every crack, an eye seemed to be silently watching you; and faint, labored breathing echoed in the small room.
The cold arrows on the floor and walls no longer seemed so reliable at this moment. Although they were still so calm and clean, there was a feeling that something was wriggling under the thin layer of concrete.
A faint, rotten smell rose in the air...
Whenever he recalls or connects to this, the eerie murmur will appear, following him like a shadow. And the surroundings will gradually become otherworldly.
Every word he/she/it uttered struck Chang Yan's heart like a deep shadow lurking beneath the ocean of his thoughts, secretly watching everything he did.
Faced with this strange phenomenon, Chang Yan only does one thing—
"Get out of here!"
—【I'm still very curious, how much longer can you hold on? Let's meet again next time. By the way, since we've been chatting for so long, shall I tell you a secret?】
—【My name is "Yan"】
—【The “words” in common sayings】
The sound disappeared, and everything around returned to normal.
He sat silently on the bed, a gentle breeze blowing through, making the door seem like the final cry of a withered old man.
"........"
He didn't say anything, but just dejectedly grabbed his hair with both hands and covered his eyes, hiding them in darkness.

In the end, Professor Holmes still fired the Scarlet Bullet into Aria's body, then laughed as he stood on a magic circle and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
The unscrupulous boss ran away, and the conflict between the two factions in Yi You immediately erupted. Coupled with the crazy antics of various traitors and spies, Yi You was officially disbanded.
Of course, as anyone who has read Sherlock Holmes knows, Holmes is not a selfless, kind-hearted person.
He had long ago prepared a backup plan for those traitors and spies.
The truly valuable items were all in the hands of Joan of Arc and her family, leaving behind only insignificant and worthless things for the traitors and spies, many of which were even counterfeit.
Tsukishiro Michimitsu was also given some things, probably the loose change left by the professor.
After that, Tsukishiro Michimitsu returned home alone, just in time to witness the tabletop RPG incident.
Then he called upon Him.
.......
He awakened an ancient being sealed in the deepest recesses of the city; the mysterious Moon Demon denied the fate of eternal damnation and returned to the present world.
Even Tsukishiro Doman was amazed, never expecting that such a strange thing was sealed beneath this city.
Then the Demon of the Moon obeyed His wicked instructions and happily entered SAO, instantly changing its style from Sword Art Online to Bloodborne.
After a moment's thought, Tsukimori Doman accepted the "organization's" invitation and became a glorious assassin.
Oops, I misspoke, they were mercenaries.
At this time, a very small number of people noticed that when they looked up at the sun, there was a tiny black dot in the center.
It's probably some kind of astronomical phenomenon or something else.
Not many people cared about this matter, but one monk was very concerned about it.
After borrowing his companion's telescope, casting a series of protective spells on himself, and activating all the room's security measures, the mage confidently used the telescope to observe the black dot.
What did he see at that moment?
No one will know.
When his companions came to him, he only saw a monster with many sharp eyes on its head.
"Hey, old friend, guess what I saw? There's an upside-down figure walking towards the sun! Hehe, hehehe, hehehe hahahahahahaha—"
He was laughing and talking when suddenly his mind went blank.
Oh, He's here!
Chapter 382 120 Hours Until God's Arrival
As this incident was reported, those in higher positions began to take it seriously.
As time went on, the mysterious black spot grew larger and larger, and even ordinary people began to pay attention to it. Governments around the world hurriedly brought out a large number of experts and professors, using all sorts of reasons to deceive the public.
However, although astronomical telescopes are expensive, many people still have one at home.
When faced with something like this, it's impossible not to be curious and pick up a telescope to take a look.
Once they witnessed that supreme, inverted shadow, everything else became meaningless.
Personality, thoughts, values... everything changed after that.
They understood, they realized, that everything in their past was meaningless.
More and more people received His call and listened to His enlightenment—they wept bitterly, they knelt on the ground, and cursed their past foolishness.
Countless cults seized this opportunity to stir up trouble once again, while the major organizations, after paying a heavy price, finally discovered the true identity of the reflection—
An unknown god is slowly approaching Earth.
They remembered the prophet's warnings, they recalled His prophecies—
He is coming back!
No, this prophecy absolutely cannot come true!
This is the consensus of everyone.
However, first of all, we must keep this matter a secret and prevent the chaos from escalating further.
Recently, the rising star Mas from The Alchemist has proposed a grand and well-thought-out plan—to construct a massive barrier to envelop the Earth and prevent monsters from other dimensions from harming it, much like the Arcane Sanctum in the Marvel movies.
However, before that, we must first use a large-scale mental spell to make ordinary people subconsciously ignore that black spot.
Otherwise, if people looked up and went crazy, how many would become inspired believers?
If all of humanity becomes His believers, then who will be the ones going mad—they or us?
Unfortunately, the Honkai, which had been in hiding, suddenly erupted at this moment, and the location was none other than Schicksal's Far East Branch.
Professor Taroland caused a horrific reality distortion at the last moment, rescuing several of his young girls and some teachers and students before disappearing.
"I am in all things."
These were his last words.
At this moment, all sorts of demons and monsters reappeared in the world from ancient myths. A boy with the Taotie (gluttonous beast) and a boy with the blood of Asura fought fiercely, the reason being nothing more than a single guy's anger towards a male protagonist who drives a harem of catgirls.
Yes, it's that Fei who appeared on the website, currently in a love-hate relationship with that Taotie.
The mage's time-travel experiment was forced to stop, and the poor vampire Uncle Yang still hasn't found his lost family. He has now disappeared without a trace, seemingly having gone to find the people of the Light of Truth.
Because of his spiritual achievements, Tsukishori Dōmō is being invited to participate in this large-scale suggestive campaign.
Wow, you guys are so casual?
He only needed to look around to find that more than three of the inviters had passed the rigorous check.
After the examination, he unexpectedly encountered Mas, the initiator of the barrier project, a seemingly arrogant alchemist.
It is said that this guy caused an elemental tide as soon as he was born, his elemental affinity level is frighteningly high, and he is born with a lucky aura, just like the overpowered protagonist in online novels.
At this moment, he was solemnly inscribing a huge magic circle, which was a strengthening magic circle used to generate mental fluctuations, in order to enhance and spread the effect.
So, how many gifts should I keep?
Looking at the enormous magic array, Yue Shoudao's smile remained as gentle as ever.
--------
This implies a complete failure of the operation.
There was no frantic mental turmoil, no extremely wicked psychological suggestion; there was only a seductive murmur:
"Look up and see the sun."
