Chapter 238 His True Name
Upstairs, in the training room.
Leng Ran dragged Lu Tianyun inside, immediately locked the door, then grabbed a pistol from the wall and pulled the safety pin in front of Lu Tianyun.
The sound of a bullet being chambered made Lu Tianyun panic: "No, Brother Li, are you serious?"
He coldly pointed the gun at Lu Tianyun: "Hmph, I'll count to one and then fire. Are you ready?"
Lu Tianyun took two steps back and said from the training room, "Brother Li, your marksmanship is so accurate, how can I dodge... Let me go!"
Leng Ran showed no mercy: "Three, two..."
Lu Tianyun took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and screamed wildly in his heart.
Ghost sister, please save me!
Leng Ran: "One!"
She pulled the trigger, but no bullet flew out of the muzzle; it was an empty gun.
At the same time, a brilliant gold light reappeared in Lu Tianyun's eyes, and the phantom of Yuan emerged from behind him, his eyes narrowing coldly.
Found it! Something like Lingmou Huimeng. Lu Tianyun's "good luck" is never accidental!
"I knew it, Brother Li couldn't bear to kill me!" Lu Tianyun opened his eyes, looking blankly at Yuan who had actually appeared, and at his indifferent expression.
"Calling me twice in one day, I'm tired too, Little Tianyun." Yuan's voice was a little tired, but she still noticed Leng Ran's presence. "Hmm? It's you, the human He chose."
Lu Tianyun's mouth dropped open: "What selection? You two really know each other?"
Yuan ignored Lu Tianyun and instead moved closer to Leng Ran, taking a deep breath that relieved her fatigue: "It really is a divine power that I miss. It is powerful and clear. No wonder it could awaken me."
Leng Ran let Yuan approach him: "Who exactly is this 'He' you speak of? And who are you, the god who represents 'luck'?"
"You? You've seen other gods too?" Yuan was slightly surprised, then tilted his head and smiled. "That's right, with your divine power, who wouldn't be tempted?"
“Logically speaking, His name should not be called directly.” Yuan’s tone changed, “But I don’t care about those rules and regulations, after all, He has been gone for countless years.”
Lu Tianyun felt like his head was about to explode: "Wait a minute, Brother Li, what are you guys talking about? Does God really exist in this world?"
“Little Tianyun, let me answer your questions.” Yuan circled around Leng Ran. “My name is ‘Yuan’. I am the god of ‘fortune and misfortune’ who governs the world’s fortune, and one of the servants of the supreme god.”
The girl's illusory image gradually faded, replaced by a winged serpent with a pair of striking golden eyes.
Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, I am also what you humans call a 'true god-level' primordial beast."
Lu Tianyun froze on the spot: "A strange beast?! Ghost Sister, how could you be a strange beast?!"
Yuan reverted to her girl form: "First of all, I am a member of the original alien beasts, and I am fundamentally different from those mutated alien beasts that were corrupted by the source of evil and transformed from ordinary animals."
"The primitive beasts that humans speak of are merely His servants. The best among them will be granted divine status and a divine proverb that can never be violated."
She turned to look at Lu Tianyun: "This is both our source of strength and an invisible constraint. As for what my maxim is, you have already heard it."
"Cause and effect are conserved, misfortune and fortune are interdependent..." Lu Tianyun murmured, "You are the god who represents misfortune and fortune, yet you happen to bring me good luck. Could it be..."
From childhood to adulthood, anyone who wanted to harm him would inexplicably suffer misfortune. No matter what kind of disasters occurred around him, he always managed to escape unscathed, while others were not so lucky.
On Anning Star, when facing a pack of wolves, the students were injured and Instructor Ouyang lost his life, but he was unharmed; last week, when fighting at the Fengmang base, many people were injured, but he was completely unscathed.
“Smart child, you must have guessed it by now.” Yuan’s words pierced Lu Tianyun’s heart. “The world’s fortune is conserved. Since you have received ‘good fortune,’ others must suffer ‘misfortune.’”
Lu Tianyun said in disbelief, "How could this be... Everyone's misfortune is because of... me?"
It turns out he wasn't a lucky star at all, but a jinx!
Yuan said calmly, "Not necessarily. Each lucky event requires a different amount of luck to be consumed. If it consumes little, you can just draw some luck from the enemy. But if it consumes a lot... then you will need to draw luck on a large scale."
"How could this happen? I clearly didn't want to hurt them." Lu Tianyun retreated repeatedly. "Why did they have to choose me?"
Yuan smiled and said, "Because you are the chosen one of this small world, that's why I was able to possess you."
In the final battle against the source of evil, her physical body perished, but her soul remained immortal. With His help, she fell into a small world where human technology was highly advanced, where she became bound to the chosen one of this world and regained a small amount of divine power through his fortune.
However, she had never seen Him since she arrived here, until today, when she felt the familiar fluctuations of divine power and was awakened once again.
Lu Tianyun's mind went blank. The cruel truth was revealed, and his worldview of the past eighteen years was completely shattered. He collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his soul.
Although Leng Ran sympathized with Lu Tianyun's plight, she had more important questions to ask: "Yuan, please tell me, what is His name?"
Yuan floated in mid-air: "Since I've benefited from your divine power, I'll tell you."
"He is the only existing supreme god, and He calls Himself the Years."
Leng Ran grasped the key point: "Existing? Could there have been other supreme gods before?"
Yuan Jie said, "There used to be two, but now, the other one no longer exists."
Leng Ran was shocked. The souls of ordinary gods are immortal, let alone the supreme god. What could have happened to cause the fall of a supreme god who was beyond the reach of humankind?
She wanted to press for more information, but Yuan interrupted her: "I know what you want to ask, but these are things you shouldn't know right now."
"Alright, I've said enough. Calling Him by His name directly is against the rules." Yuan smiled gently. "However, meeting you today is my 'good fortune'."
"I have to go now. See you later, you two kids."
Yuan's figure gradually faded away, leaving only a listless Lu Tianyun and a pensive Leng Ran.
Lu Tianyun was quite shocked. Leng Ran wanted to comfort him, but found that any words would be so pale and powerless. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.
Within a few hours, he learned the truth about his good fortune. He thought he was a "lucky star," but was suddenly labeled a "disaster star." Yuan's appearance completely overturned his worldview.
Lu Tianyun stood up unsteadily: "Brother Li, I...I want to be alone for a while."
Leng Ran: "Okay, but before you leave, I must emphasize one thing to you."
“Look me in the eyes,” Leng Ran said solemnly, placing both hands on Lu Tianyun’s shoulders. “Lu Tianyun, remember this: what happened tonight, and the existence of fate, must not be known to any third person other than you and me, or there will be big trouble.”
Lu Tianyun lowered his head and said, "Okay."
He sighed coldly: "If you need help, you can come to me."
She accompanied the distraught Lu Tianyun downstairs, helped him onto the shuttle bus back to his dormitory, and then returned to her room.
Lu Haoyu looked at Leng Ran with suspicion and uncertainty: "What happened to Lu Tianyun? You guys... were you really playing hide-and-seek?"
But he didn't seem to hear the sound of gunfire. Why was Lu Tianyun so frightened?
He coldly drew the pistol he had casually tucked into his waistband, twirled it around, and said, "Yeah, senior, would you like to give it a try?"
Lu Haoyu turned to look at the sky: "Well, I see it's getting late, so I'll head back first. My three junior brothers, you should also get some rest. I won't disturb you any longer."
The words had barely left his mouth when Lu Haoyu dashed out the door and fled. He couldn't afford to take this risk!
Although Zhao Yuheng was also curious about what had happened, since Mo Li hadn't told him directly, he didn't plan to ask any further.
After all, who doesn't have a few secrets?
He smiled and said, "In that case, Qiufeng and I will head back to our dorms first. Goodnight, Ali."
Yue Qiufeng: "Goodnight, Ali."
Leng Ran: "Okay, you guys should get some rest too. See you tomorrow."
After the group left, the dormitory returned to its usual quiet.
She walked alone onto the balcony, gazing up at the bright moon in the night sky. The scenery before her kept changing, finally settling on the blood-red moon of the apocalypse.
.......
"Master Wuming, this dagger is so beautiful. Are you really going to give it to me?"
"Yes, Little Lengran, why don't we give it a name?"
"Let's call her Silver Moon! The old lady at the shelter said that a long, long time ago, before the zombies invaded, everyone could eat their fill and live a happy life. The moon back then wasn't blood-red, but a beautiful silver. I really want to see it!"
"There will come a day."
"Even if I can't see it, it doesn't matter. The crimson sky has a blood-red moon, and I have my own silver moonlight! Thank you, Master, for giving me the silver moon. I will cherish it!"
......
She did see the silver moon. But she had lost all her companions in the apocalypse; as the white light melted away, all fell silent.
Fleeting Years, could this be your masterpiece? And why send her to the interstellar era?
