Meanwhile, those deities and saints were also engaged in a heated discussion.

"The 'Change' rule in the Broken Lands has almost come to a standstill."

"The first method is to take the 'smooth' route, but the 'smooth' route now is the route of return."

"Next, we need to eradicate the remaining life, enter the end, sever cause and effect, erase concepts, return to ignorance, and finally maintain a sliver of thought to break free from fate before entering the source matter?"

They are all deities and saints; once they obtain crucial information, they can immediately make the correct judgment.

"Are you sure your 'thought' can break free from materialization in such a desperate situation?"

One important factor in life's understanding of the world is concepts and causality.

Without concepts and causality, there can be no sound cognition.

It is even less likely to possess an orderly cognitive system.

In this world where numbers are the essence, some things come from the sequence of numbers. If we lose our sense of order, then everything is basically over.

Even gods wouldn't believe they could withstand such a situation.

One wrong move, and you won't just escape the fate of returning to the source at the last moment, but you'll truly return to the source and become a puddle of mud.

"I disagree with taking the first route!" someone immediately objected.

The most important thing about the first path is not its success rate; the core problem is that it is a dead end.

Once they choose this path, the Broken Lands, the last piece of land that sustained them, will also disappear.

At that point, they will have absolutely no way out, and whether they will be able to escape this place and explore other possibilities is completely unpredictable.

“That second path seems appealing, but it is actually much more difficult,” another divine being said.

"In our current situation, the number of lives is too small, and various resources are also insufficient."

"To bring about change through life in the end times, and to drive hope through change."

Do you think we can do it?

The essence of the forward and reverse paths is different. The forward path does not require any sacrifice; it only requires actively conforming to the process of returning to the original nature, thus accelerating the destruction of the world.

Judging from their common sense, although they would gradually lose the support of various rules when the world is destroyed, they would be able to accumulate strength, which would help them escape from here.

The opposite path is different. In order to bring about change, they need to devote all their resources to it, exhaust all changes, and search for the only hope.

In this context, the creation of historical records is driven, thus reversing the process of regression.

To conform is to harm the world and enrich oneself, and then rely on one's own thoughts as the final path to liberation.

Going against the grain means harming oneself to enrich the world, and then finding a glimmer of opportunity in the process.

Most importantly, even if the world were to become fertile, it wouldn't be able to become much more fertile. Given the current state of the shattered lands, even if a number of historical achievements were to be born, the new life would wither away due to a lack of fertile ground.

“But Nemus did it,” another bald, divine saint said at this moment.

"Judging from the current situation, it is highly likely that Nemus created something new in his battle with the Sun Saint, which propelled the birth of a historic number."

"He probably used that number to get away from here."

"We already have successful precedents, we..."

“No, I think you might be overestimating something.” It was at this moment that Nemus finished sorting out the changes brought about by the existence of the ‘unknown’ rules and integrating them into his own cognitive system, and spoke up.

“That means even the Sun Saint is special!” Nemus said.

"I am not very clear about the Sun God in your possible world, but in our possible world, the Sun Saint is the strongest individual."

“Leaving here, simply achieving historical significance is a necessary but not sufficient condition,” Nems stated his thoughts.

"We must find something special to facilitate the emergence of the exit passage."

Chapter 679 Cognitive Anomalies

"How do we know that you didn't say this because of your conflict with the Sun Saint?" the divine saint who had suggested the first method asked.

"There's no need for this pointless probing." Nemus looked directly at the other person after hearing their words.

This deity is depicted as a gaunt old man.

Of course, the image of these gods and saints is not important; they are just bodies created by gods using holy power after they came to the material plane.

What exactly it will be like is entirely up to their own wishes.

What truly matters is their inner qualities.

The gaunt old man's holy power had a sense of ending, and such gods were either from the death pantheon or the rage pantheon.

The people in the settlement generally called him 'Da Luo'.

He is the leader of this gathering of three thousand people.

The bald man who had fought with him earlier was another leader of the settlement, named 'Ou Cuo'.

In addition, there is another deity or saint in this gathering place, whose code name is 'Thirteen'.

These three divine beings are the three leaders of this gathering place.

Together they possessed two valuable resources, which sustained this settlement.

In addition, there are two other gathering places.

Each gathering place has about three thousand people.

In addition, there are approximately two thousand homeless people.

This has led to the formation of an ecosystem with over 10,000 people in the End of the World.

Those who have formed communities have been supporting each other in this area for countless years, so it's unlikely that their ideologies clashed so much.

The current conflict is something that Da Luo and Ou Cuo are putting on for themselves.

Faced with Nemus's words, the two former gods showed no embarrassment, but simply smiled and said...

"You need to understand that you are special, but we cannot be completely certain that you are special."

Most others come to the End for various other reasons.

For example, it could be due to being near death, or the destruction of the material plane one inhabits, or other end-of-the-world reasons.

There are also reasons such as getting lost in the astral plane or being swallowed by the etheric layer.

Only Nemes spoke of seeing the swamp and being drawn into it because of its changes.

They were all quite knowledgeable and could determine that what Nems said might be the key.

However, confirmation does not necessarily mean that Nemes is true.

Under this probing, they hoped that Nems would reveal more information.

Although their communication is extremely efficient due to resource scarcity, this does not mean that they should unconditionally trust Nems.

"Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you to decide." Nemus, however, showed no intention of proving himself in the face of the other party's statement.

Even though they have fallen from their divine status, their experience and knowledge have not diminished much.

There's no need to rush to prove yourself at this point. Just present the information to them, and as time goes by, they will naturally come to believe it.

The more anxious you appear, the more these people will try to manipulate you.

At this moment, Nemus showed an indifferent attitude. Regardless of whether these people believed him or not, as long as Nemus seemed confident, they had no choice but to compromise.

"You should be aware that your impression of the Sun Saint is somewhat inaccurate."

"To be precise, are you sure your understanding of the Sun Saint is still normal?" Nemus then asked.

These saints smiled at this moment. Although they had been demoted, it was impossible to alter their cognition and memories.

As far as I can remember, the Sun Saints are simply those with relatively higher numerical values, which gives them a certain advantage in the material plane...

"Is there anything special about the Sun Saint?" Thirteen asked at this moment.

"I would like to know, to your recollection, has the Sun Saint left this place?" Nemus inquired.

“Of course not…” Thirteen realized what was going on as he said this.

Then I began a systematic review of everything related to the sun.

"The Sun God has always been very low-key."

"As the strongest god, He actually watched silently as the god of earth and the god of storm perished together."

"And afterwards, nothing survived, not even a single Sun Saint." As soon as Thirteen said this, Ou Cuo and Da Luo also realized what was going on.

"So where exactly did things go wrong?" Ou Cuo's eyes also turned mysterious at this moment.

Alternatively, in their timeline, the Sun God is not the strongest god; he is just an ordinary god.

It was only because of the invasion of some force that their perception was changed.

Or perhaps the sun god 'left' from the very beginning.

The sun god has become powerful enough to interfere with this 'possibility'.

“I tend to favor the latter.” Nemus now had a general understanding of the 'upper limit' of most gods.

Currently, there are two possibilities: one is the historical possibility, which is controlled by fate and is the focus of the gods' struggle.

Once a large enough share is acquired, the ability to influence the world will be enhanced, and one's authority will become stronger.

Another possibility is the possibility of the world.

Nemus is a soul from another world, and each of his different starting points will lead to different possibilities for the world.

But besides him, there must be other ways to influence the world's possibilities.

The hierarchy among deities is likely related to the possibilities of the world.

Powerful deities can interfere with the possibilities of the world, and they may be able to profit from those possibilities.

The sun god's ability to rise from a mid-to-high-ranking god to the strongest god most likely stemmed from profiting from the possibilities of the world.

“Because none of you are powerful gods,” Nemus said.

The three deities and saints in front of them suddenly turned pale and seemed to lose their composure.

Previously, they believed that luck would be more important in the event of a catastrophe like the destruction of the world.

So they were lucky and managed to escape.

However, as things stand now, it seems that those powerful enough gods are living well in another possibility, and this end times is just one possibility they have given up.

Perhaps in another possibility, there is another counterpart of Him.

However, if their consciousnesses do not communicate, then it will be meaningless.

“And you yourselves are not even aware of this.”

“If I hadn’t pointed it out, you wouldn’t even have known whether the Sun Saint had left or not,” Nemus stated, getting to the heart of the matter.

Although being exposed was unpleasant, the three divine saints managed to calm down at this moment.

"If that's the case, then becoming a Sun Saint might indeed be one of the necessary conditions for leaving this place."

"Let's cooperate!"

Chapter 680 We Unite

The three deities then shared and organized the information.

The three of them possessed two valuable resources, and they established a settlement here, not for the sake of enjoying the comforts of the elite.

If they really want to enjoy themselves, the number of people in the gathering place can be reduced by 90%. They only need a team of a few dozen people to take good care of themselves.

Three thousand people means that most of the resources will flow to these people to maintain their consumption.

The reason for doing this is for a hope.

These people are required to investigate changes in their surroundings, look for various clues, and conduct various tests and experiments to find the possibility of escaping the End.

It can be said that they had already made various attempts, and that is why they immediately realized that getting out of the quagmire was the key point after Nemes gave them the clue of the 'quagmire'.

At this moment, breakthroughs emerged one after another, and their information underwent significant changes.

None of the three deities were particularly powerful gods.
