Zhan Shen: It’s Just a Sacrifice, How Can I Become a Villain?

473: The biggest variableThe lone boat was like a sesame seed, sailing in the vast ocean.

A speck of light shone from the lone boat, making it particularly conspicuous on the pitch-black sea.

Song Zhong stared at the small boat and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

There was no other reason; Song Zhong saw the source of that light: a person stood on the lone boat, ”Destiny”.

The small boat moved without wind, speeding towards Song Zhong, its speed seemingly completely mismatched with a small wooden boat.

Soon, ”Destiny” arrived before Song Zhong.

Looking at the face identical to Lin Qi Ye’s, Song Zhong watched ”Destiny” with interest and asked, ”Why aren’t you secretly watching Lin Qi Ye? Why did you come to find me instead?”

”Destiny”’s expression wasn’t very good. He looked at Song Zhong’s face, and there seemed to be a hint of complaint in his eyes.

”Were you laughing at me just now?” ”Destiny” asked.

”Uh...” Song Zhong’s face flushed, and he retorted, ”Is that question very important?”

”Never mind,” ”Destiny” showed a helpless expression, then answered Song Zhong’s previous question, ”The reason I came here to find you is that I want to seek your help.”

”Hmm, I can tell.” Song Zhong nodded.

He already knew that Lin Qi Ye was in trouble. Moreover, if Lin Qi Ye hadn’t been in trouble, ”Destiny” would never have come to him voluntarily.

”Lin Qi Ye was taken away by Cthulhu, wasn’t he?” Song Zhong asked.

”You know?” ”Destiny” looked at Song Zhong with astonishment. This matter was extremely secretive and had only just happened.

As soon as Lin Qi Ye got into trouble, ”Destiny” embarked on a journey to find Song Zhong. How could Song Zhong know the outcome of the matter as soon as he found him?

Looking at the shocked ”Destiny”, Song Zhong said with a smile, ”Don’t misunderstand, I only know that Lin Qi Ye is in trouble, but I don’t know the details of what happened.”

Hearing Song Zhong’s words, ”Destiny” finally felt things were somewhat normal. He then recounted how An Qingyu and Chaos had conspired to abduct Lin Qi Ye.

”That’s how it happened,” ”Destiny” said.

Song Zhong listened, then thought for a moment and said, ”Indeed, the consciousness of the Key of the Gate has also Awakened. So, the Cthulhu plan to use Lin Qi Ye as a medium to awaken Azathoth’s will?”

”Exactly, this is Chaos’s plan.

I assume you already know the relationship between the Fifth Universe’s will and Azathoth, right?” ”Destiny” asked.

”Of course, the will of the Fifth Universe intends to prevent this Universe from being corrupted by assimilating Azathoth’s spirit.

I have to admit, this is a crazy plan. While the successful outcome is tempting, the risks are also exponentially increasing.

If it were me, I wouldn’t choose such a crazy plan.” Song Zhong teased.

”Alas!” ”Destiny” sighed, ”This is a last resort. If we were to fight head-on, we would have no chance of defeating Cthulhu. However, fortunately, Azathoth’s own authority is blind idiocy, and his own will is chaotic.

Therefore, in desperation, we can only choose this method to resist Cthulhu’s invasion.

Perhaps due to luck, so far, every cycle of consciousness has not failed. Now, we have assimilated 43% of Azathoth’s will.”

”Destiny” spoke the greatest secret in this world in a helpless tone.

Lin Qi Ye’s fate was not singular but a cycle repeated again and again.

Each successful cycle helped the will of the Fifth Universe assimilate a little more of Azathoth’s will.

However, this approach also carried immense risks. If even one cycle failed, leading to the Awakening of Azathoth’s will, then everything done before would be in vain.

As manifestations of the Fifth Universe’s will, ”Destiny” and Lin Qi Ye were also constantly experiencing this cycle.

But this time, a major problem arose in the cycle: the Cthulhu had found a way to awaken Azathoth and were incredibly close to achieving this goal.

Therefore, ”Destiny” hurriedly came to Song Zhong, seeking a solution to the problem.

As a participant in countless Reincarnation, ”Destiny” naturally knew what the biggest variable in this cycle was.

Song Zhong!

This young man of Mysterious origin disrupted all order. Although Cthulhu’s resurgence had no direct connection to Song Zhong, ”Destiny” had a premonition that this young man was like a butterfly, gently flapping his wings and completely changing the direction of this cycle.

So now, besides Song Zhong, ”Destiny” couldn’t think of anyone else who could solve the problem.

”Alright, so you want me to stop the Outer Gods from Awakening Azathoth, right?” Song Zhong asked.

”Destiny” nodded, ”I know your principles, so whatever demands you make, as long as I can fulfill them, I will agree.”

Song Zhong scrutinized ”Destiny”, asking curiously, ”Are you so sure I’ll help you? Are you so certain that I’m not allied with the Cthulhu? After all, fundamentally, they and I are both outsiders.”

”Destiny” shook his head and said, ”I am also a manifestation of this Universe’s will; I can sense certain things.

Although I can’t articulate it clearly, I know that what you need is a normal Fifth Universe, and my goal is also to maintain the order of the Fifth Universe.

To be precise, I don’t need to consider what kind of person you are. As long as our goals are consistent, then we can be trusted allies.

Feelings may change, but interests always remain.”

”Destiny” spoke the most unconventional words in a calm tone.

Song Zhong’s eyes lit up. He looked at ”Destiny”’s face with a hint of admiration.

”To be honest, ”Destiny”, I’m starting to like you.

Although you and Lin Qi Ye are both manifestations of the Fifth Universe’s will, your personality is completely different from his.”

”Is that so?” ”Destiny”’s face showed a smile, and he said, ”Then, Mr. Song Zhong, is our deal considered made?”

”Of course!”

Song Zhong smiled and extended his hand. ”Destiny”, seeing this, also extended his hand.

Their hands clasped together, and the deal was officially made.

”So, what’s your solution?” ”Destiny” asked.

Song Zhong spread his hands and said, ”Honestly, if you had found me ten minutes earlier, I might not have had a solution to the problem.

But something that happened ten minutes ago gave me an idea for a solution.”

”Destiny” immediately perked up, listening intently to Song Zhong.

However, Song Zhong’s subsequent words completely changed ”Destiny”’s expression.
