"It is also possible that they traveled to an even earlier mythological era."

"This potential 'Nemes' has evolved into different individuals due to the different times and environments in which they occurred."

"And these possibilities, through some method that I cannot yet understand, have come together in this world."

According to fate, Nemes is the ninth possibility.

In addition, there are two other possibilities that remain in the world.

However, neither of those possibilities possesses a 'true spirit'.

Therefore, strictly speaking, neither of those two individuals can be considered as Nemes.

But fate, after all, presented the other party with two possibilities.

"Therefore, the true spirit may be the most important thing."

However, Nemus has yet to truly develop the power of the True Spirit.

Delving a little deeper, one discovers top-tier characteristics such as "external existence" and "marginal increase".

Then he discovered that his own soul could infect other souls, causing them to develop heterogeneous characteristics.

That's all.

"According to this view, the world I lived in in my previous life was probably not simple."

"I am certain that I was an ordinary person in my past life."

"The reason it's not ordinary is probably because of the world itself," Nemus thought.

Naims carefully sorted through his gains, and then felt the area around the mud pit begin to heat up.

At the same time, a phantom seemed to appear beside me.

The phantom is a being wearing a sun mask.

His phantom image is constantly merging and overlapping with the location where Nems is currently standing.

Soon the two will be in the same space.

"I see. The mud mark protected my existence. Even if others enter the Land of Sleep, they cannot be on the same level as me."

"Only when I have faced fate, and the mud marks begin to boil in chaos, can the Sun Saint truly lock onto my existence."

"Then they'll really attack me and take away the mud mark!"

Chapter 674 Regarding my other possibility: the supreme god

The sun god undoubtedly had a deep understanding of the mud-spot marks and the land of slumber.

Mud stains possess a real and special power.

It is difficult for anyone to observe the existence of mud spots through changes in external forces.

Nemus even knew that if he simply buried the mud mark anywhere, the Sun God would probably never find it, even if he searched for a lifetime.

This kind of thing can only be discovered through luck; you can only realize its special nature after you actually come into contact with it.

Therefore, the Sun God never directly instructed the Sun Saints to find Nemus and then ambush him.

Given that Nemus has multiple clones and it's impossible to determine which clone bears the mud mark, such a rash attack would only push things to the worst possible outcome.

Once Nemus throws the mud mark somewhere, the Sun Saint will have no way of finding it.

Therefore, the best way to reliably obtain Mudmarks is not to directly approach Nemus, but to attack him when he uses a Mudmark and it is in a 'cooldown period'.

At this point in time, Nems' fate was no longer protected by the mud-spot mark.

Although the mud-spot mark itself is still not perceptible, its power no longer extends into Nemus's fate as it did before.

Instead, it became the underlying tone of agitation.

"As long as we capture you and obtain that trace of destiny, even if you lose the mud mark, we can still track its existence," said the phantom of the Sun Saint.

"Now, hand over the mud mark and choose to join the Church of the Sun."

"This is your last chance." The Sun Saint looked at Nemus and gave his final announcement.

However, Nemes didn't care about these words.

In other words, after the other party finished speaking, the other party's illusory image completely merged into the spacetime base point where he was located.

At that very moment, a mud bubble rose from the mud pit.

The surrounding spacetime has changed.

The two of them seemed to have appeared on a desolate land.

"This is where it all began."

"This is also the place where everything ends."

"Countless possibilities of ending converge here."

"The end and the beginning of time and space have merged together."

The Sun Saint spoke these words almost as if chanting, and the light emanating from him became even more terrifying at that moment.

At this moment, Nemus was almost certain that the body found at the entrance to the swamp had a piercing wound in its chest that came from the Sun Saint.

The familiar power mentioned above comes from a particular characteristic.

"The 'marginal diminishing returns'!" Looking at the power shimmering in the other party's eyes, Nemus finally understood what the characteristic of the Sun Saint that could break through the numerical limits of the Gold Saint was.

Nemus also possesses this characteristic; more precisely, his unique true spirit existence propelled the emergence of this characteristic.

The Sun Saint's "marginal increasing effect" is incomplete; it cannot grow faster and faster, but rather ensures that its value can increase at a relatively constant rate, a point that Nemus can roughly sense.

"Although I know I will be very strong."

"But I didn't expect it to be this strong." Nemus looked at the Sun Saint and saw the change in the other's power.

However, they did not consider the other person to be another possibility for themselves.

It is said that all the Sun Saints possess the characteristic of infinitely increasing numerical values.

In this respect, another possibility is that his current identity is already quite easy to guess.

"No, great sun god, you have nothing to do with me."

"You are nothing more than a remnant of spacetime fluctuations."

“If it weren’t for you obtaining the fragments of the clay tablets, we wouldn’t even consider you a threat.” At this moment, the Sun Saint removed his mask, revealing a face that bore a striking resemblance to Nemus.

However, it wasn't Nemes Anin, but rather someone more like his past life.

Nemus looked at the other person. Although their faces were similar and even their soul fluctuations were very similar, the essential difference was revealed at this moment.

It's like he's currently inhabiting the body of 'Kennai,' but he also has different souls and identities such as Angel A and the Holy Son.

However, all these souls are one with Nems; their essence is the same.

Even if there are individuals like Angel A with cognitive problems, their essence will not change.

But the current Sun Saint is not like that.

He should be an individual similar to a 'sacred child', whose soul is derived from that other possibility.

However, the other possibility is in a completely different state, with cognition, thinking, and even essence completely different.

It could even be said that Nemus and the other party were already completely different beings.

This is due to the possibility of branching at the 'starting point'.

It's as if someone was changed from birth.

Nemus himself went through the stages of being a genius paladin of the Discipline Church, the stage of betrayal and transformation into a prayer angel, and the stage of reincarnation as a demon.

He gained a profound understanding of his own inner nature and then made his own choice.

His beliefs and understanding are based on his own experiences.

If Nemus hadn't had that experience, and instead had been valued by the church from the beginning and hadn't been betrayed, he would never have resorted to such unscrupulous means as he does today.

On the contrary, the experiences of the sun god were beyond Naim's comprehension.

Before his transmigration, he was just an ordinary individual trapped in mediocrity.

To be honest, he doesn't have much social experience. Compared to a naive and foolish college student, the only difference is that he is no longer a college student.

Those short, simple, and ordinary twenty years of social experience are too easily changed by all sorts of things.

For example, after the time travel, Nemus believed that he was the protagonist and the chosen one, and that he had come to this world to do something big.

Then he was determined to change the world and make it a better place.

To be honest, there's nothing wrong with this change in perception.

However, it requires more experience and knowledge to fill in the gaps.

The same applies to the sun god; the other side is now undoubtedly not much different from the local gods.

"It's just an obstacle that needs to be overcome." Nemus showed no displeasure at the words of the Sun Saint.

The true spirit resides with him; the other person is merely a phenomenon caused by his presence.

“We’ll talk about it once you’ve survived this place!” said the Sun Saint.

Then he became the sun over this desolate land, and terrifying numbers poured out in all directions at that moment.

The real-world divine war strategy that Nemes could not accomplish alone was instantly completed by the opponent's numerical values.

Chapter 675 The Man Who Attacked the Sun

The instant the power struck, Nemus also drew a sword of destiny, connected with the surrounding elements, and slashed out with it.

The wind suddenly roared, and Nemus quickly retreated, flying away across the desolate land.

Compared to the Sun Saint, Nemus was now at a significant disadvantage in terms of intelligence.

Nems never believed that the sun god and he were the same person.

Possibility is possibility, and you are yourself.

This is something that cannot be generalized.

And things may get even more complicated now.

The Sun God no longer possesses the structure of a true spirit. Whatever the reason, both the other party and oneself have made their own choices.

In this case, the other party is essentially an individual who possesses most of their own characteristics and early memories, and has arrived in a certain era ahead of time, where they have already developed and accumulated a great deal of knowledge.

Although I don't quite understand why the other party didn't find me sooner and retrieve their true spirit.

Instead, the appearance of mud stains led them to take action against themselves.

However, they knew that at this moment, the Sun God was absolutely the most terrifying opponent.

Their perceptions and choices differ, but with the power of the Sun God, he is fully capable of mimicking Nemus's perceptions and thoughts.

Given his absolute power over destiny, Nemus suspected that the Sun God had probably already calculated everything for himself.

"Furthermore, the Sun God was very likely monitoring me from the very beginning." Nemus finally understood.

The sun god has always maintained some kind of surveillance over his own destiny.

It was precisely because of his deep understanding of his own destiny that he was able to immediately ascertain the unusual nature of his fate after obtaining the mud mark.

As Nemes fled, he pondered and observed his surroundings.

He had just used the Sword of Fortune to try to manipulate the surrounding elements and arrange them, and found that although this area was also the real world, it was easier to manipulate and arrange them than he had imagined.

“There are some special rules in this world that are hindering me. I need to understand this area further before I can complete my plan and barely have a chance to fight the Sun Saint.” Nemus continued to sense the current situation of this area while also thinking about the previous situation.

After the Sun Saint transcended reality and appeared here, a mud bubble appeared in the quagmire.

They then found themselves in this desolate place.

Countless rays of light and heat continued to chase after Nemus.

"Primarily based on earth and wind elements, the rules of termination are very strong. In addition, and most importantly, all changes seem to have come to a standstill..."

In a short time, Nemus had a preliminary analysis of the area. Nemus immediately adjusted the power within him, propelling himself into flight and increasing his speed considerably.
