The Growth of a God
Chapter 774 - 8: Do You Want to Witness the Future?
Ever since learning of the existence of the Ascension Ladder, and understanding the essence of the succession ritual, Aten had been despondent for a long time.
Fortunately, Aten was naturally an optimistic god.
Moreover, being trapped here for too long, he became somewhat loquacious.
To keep such an Aten in a constant state of despondency was indeed a difficult thing.
So when Li Hao planned to focus and explore this world anew, Aten finally digested the fact that the Supreme Divine Format would ultimately be obtained by a mortal.
"Hey, haven’t I been pretty good to you?"
"Can you talk to me more about the situation in future generations? Especially about those so-called ’Ascension Ladders’?"
"I’m quite curious about them..."
"Mortals becoming gods, it sounds inconceivable, how did they do it?"
The talkative Aten completely ignored Li Hao’s attitude and once again began to bombard him with questions about the things he wanted to know.
Li Hao could tell that the other party was not intentionally probing for some key information about the future.
Aten was inherently curious, especially about the future introduction of the Ascension Ladder.
Realizing this, a thought suddenly flashed in Li Hao’s mind.
"Do you want to witness the future?"
"Not just hearing me talk about it, but witnessing with your own eyes the future that makes you curious."
"Ascenders, Civilization Game, Thirteen Celestial Fathers, the legends one leaves behind, and that brand new future filled with infinite possibilities..."
Li Hao’s words left Aten visibly stunned, even forgetting what he originally planned to say.
"Hey, do you know what you’re talking about?"
"In your era, I should be the Lost Sun God disappearing along with this world."
"It’s fine for us to exchange information, but aren’t you afraid that after I glimpse the future, I might change the originally destined fate?"
"Or do you underestimate my abilities?"
"Do you think that even if I knew the future, I would still be unable to change my fate?"
The river of time... at least the mainstream river of time in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, had unified with the Third Celestial Father — the nameless God of Time.
This vast and long river of time, though possessing a powerful self-correcting mechanism.
But Aten, who inhabited Ra’s world and came close to touching the Supreme Divine Format, clearly had the potential to divert or even reverse the river of time.
To put it bluntly, if Aten altered the timing of the Ascension Ladder, it would mean transforming the destiny of a Transcender who could potentially become a Celestial Father.
Aten did not believe that Li Hao, who could traverse the river of time to his era, would be ignorant of this fact.
"No, I never underestimate any god."
"Especially one like you, who has already reached the pinnacle of supreme gods and is exploring the possibility of becoming a Celestial Father..."
As Li Hao said, he knew better than anyone how wild a dying god could become if revived.
The Long-Eyed God stubbornly residing in the Ascension Area...
The nameless god transforming into countless chaotic remains and incarnations after death...
Even Di Jun, who could drag the entire world back from the brink of death with his last breath...
The existence of these gods demonstrated to Li Hao that one should never underestimate any god who has left his name in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
"What I mean is, your future is already destined anyway."
"So, are you willing to give up everything in the present to live again in the future?"
Aten continuing in this era would, of course, alter the future.
But thinking the other way around, since Aten was destined to vanish along with this world.
Then, without changing this segment of history, could he reincarnate in an era after the disappearance of this world and live once more with a new identity and posture?
"You can achieve such a feat?"
After a brief silence, Aten asked in disbelief.
He thought Li Hao, appearing in his shadow through space-time projection, was already the limit of his observational ability.
However, hearing Li Hao’s words at this moment, it seemed he possessed the ability to send him to the future to live again?
"A bit troublesome, but not impossible."
His voice was calm and composed, as if Li Hao was discussing something trivial.
In fact, it was true, with the Creator’s authority, the God of Time’s abilities, the God of Chaos’s incarnations, and Li Hao’s powerful Combined Divine Artifact.
If Li Hao couldn’t allow Aten’s consciousness to be reborn in the future, he wouldn’t be qualified to continue pursuing the path to becoming a Celestial Father.
"So... you too are a Transcender..."
In this era, "Transcender" generally referred to those who surpassed the shackles of ordinary supreme gods and were exploring the possibility of becoming a Celestial Father.
"To live once in the distant future and witness a truly prosperous era..."
"It’s indeed very appealing to me, even stirring a long-lost impatience."
Aten’s voice suddenly became long, like that of a young man yearning for the future.
"Then what price do I need to pay?"
"Great Transcender from the future!"
At this moment, Aten no longer babbled like a chatterbox.
On the contrary, the serious Aten exuded a unique majesty, fitting for one who was once called the "Universal Monarch" as the Only God.
"A price?"
"You don’t need to pay any price."
Seeing this, Li Hao’s voice similarly carried a faint smile.
Because he knew Aten was tempted, and they were in the process of re-establishing a collaborative relationship.
Only when standing in equal positions can exchanges between collaborators have value and be taken seriously by the other party.
"Your existence itself is very valuable..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"You are a Supreme God expected to become a Transcender, having once been in close contact with the Supreme Divine Format..."
"Moreover, you even deciphered the succession ritual left by Ra, excelling in wisdom as well."
"Allowing you to vanish along with this world would be a great loss."
Understanding the subtle implication, Aten, also a Supreme God, immediately grasped Li Hao’s intention.
"You want to observe me, to have me as a sample in your process of advancing to a Celestial Father..."
"I’ve done similar things before."
"Just never expected that I would become someone else’s research sample one day."
"But I have to admit, you’ve indeed persuaded me."
"If you can really achieve this, I wouldn’t mind being one of your observation samples."
Aten knew that mere words couldn’t express his sincerity.
Seeking to elevate his value and become Li Hao’s genuine collaborator, he quickly added.
"Do you have a Sun God under your command!"
"As long as you fulfill your promise, I’m willing to risk my life to help him ascend once!"
"After all, Ra left more in this world than just the Supreme Divine Format..."
