251: New Era

Qin Tian and Thor had just appeared.

Before Qin Tian could speak, Thor had already rushed to Iron Mountain's side, crying and laughing at him, and by the end, he directly slapped him hard.

"My position as patriarch, I've failed too much. A failure, I'm also a failure."

Thor cried again as he spoke, drinking as he cried, gulp, gulp, gulp.

"Thor, is it really you, Thor!"

Iron Mountain got up from the ground, and even though he was slapped down, he wasn't angry at all, looking at Thor with immense excitement.

"Praise Thor!"

"Praise Thor!"

"Qin Tian, you're back! And you brought back Thor!"

...

All the surrounding Dwarf Race were also drawn over.

Even though Thor looked like a beggar, it did not diminish the Dwarf Race's respect for him in the slightest.

"Children, my children!"

Seeing the sudden appearance of a large number of Dwarf Race, Thor instantly sobered up, and he threw his wine flask to the ground.

Cheers erupted.

"Prepare for the celebration!"

Copperbeard shouted loudly.

The surrounding Dwarf Race were all incredibly excited.

"Wait a moment."

Thor suddenly spoke, interrupting the Dwarf Race.

He looked towards Qin Tian.

"You must have something for me, thank you for saving the Dwarf Race. If I can do it, I will give it my all."

"I want to forge a weapon that can slay the God of Destiny."

Qin Tian looked at Thor, his tone calm.

Upon hearing this, Thor's face changed drastically, as if struck by lightning, and cold sweat even trickled down his forehead.

"I don't know, I don't know, don't look for me, don't look for me."

He waved his hands frantically, without a trace of divine majesty.

Qin Tian had already anticipated his reaction and took out countless divine cores he had prepared, placing them in front of Thor.

"Don't worry, what I said is true. Only you can forge that weapon, and only I can use that weapon to slay him."

"This is his destiny."

Qin Tian continued.

After acquiring his memories, Qin Tian also understood the true purpose of these divine cores.

Indeed, after using them, one could achieve godhood and also gain the skills of the corresponding divine core's deity.

For example, after using the God of Curse's divine core, one would become the God of Curse, instantly mastering all of the God of Curse's skills.

But even if one became a god, they still couldn't escape destiny; they could still be easily obliterated by the God of Destiny using the power of destiny.

And Thor, the God of Thunder, could use these divine cores to forge a weapon, a weapon that could slay the God of Destiny.

This weapon would not be controlled by the God of Destiny.

However, a weapon alone wasn't enough; the person using the weapon also needed to be free from the God of Destiny's control to have a chance of killing the God of Destiny.

Now Qin Tian had broken free from the God of Destiny's control, and as long as this weapon was forged, he could slay the God of Destiny.

Hearing Qin Tian's words and seeing the divine cores before him, Thor, who had been trembling and squatting on the ground, slowly stood up, his body no longer shaking, and he looked at Qin Tian with a complex expression.

"I understand, I will help you, come with me."

As Thor spoke, he casually scooped up the countless divine cores on the ground.

He led Qin Tian and the Dwarf Race to the steel furnace.

"I need to first forge a forbidden holy item-level longsword, and then spend forty-nine days to forge it into a nether spirit heirloom level. At the same time, you need to help me find a large number of equipment souls, especially mythical equipment souls; I need a lot."

Thor said seriously.

"I wonder if there's enough time."

He was a little worried.

Qin Tian didn't speak; he took out the Dragon Sealing Blade and placed it on the ground.

"This, this aura is? You actually have a nether spirit heirloom-level weapon, oh my god."

Thor looked at the Dragon Sealing Blade, his mouth wide open.

Qin Tian still didn't speak; he again took out a large number of mythical equipment souls and epic equipment souls, placing them on the ground, piling them into a small mountain.

The equipment dropped from killing players or monsters before, which he didn't use, had all been dismantled by Qin Tian, accumulating a large amount.

"Enough, enough, leave the rest to me."

Thor instantly became confident.

Not confident in his own skills, but the things Qin Tian took out gave him enough confidence.

The most difficult parts were the first two steps; the last step was relatively simple.

The Dragon Sealing Blade, which had extremely stringent equipment requirements, was easily picked up by Thor and then thrown into the steel furnace.

Violent, magma-like flames instantly spewed out.

Thor watched the spewing flames, calculating the time in his mind.

When the flames spewed out again, he simultaneously threw a large number of equipment souls into the steel furnace.

The magma-like flames turned almost transparent.

The temperature reached an immeasurable level.

Even gods would be burned to ashes by these flames.

An iron hammer appeared in Thor's hand, and he began to strike the steel furnace.

It was like when Qin Tian and Copperbeard repaired the Dragon Sealing Blade before, but completely different.

Thor struck with incredible ease; the massive steel furnace, under his blows, seemed like an ordinary blacksmith's forge.

Each strike was just right, like art.

Qin Tian's surface forging skill was already maxed out, but seeing Thor's strikes, he still felt a huge gap.

This was no longer just about panel data.

It was like the damage Qin Tian dealt, which could no longer be represented by the design of destiny itself.

As time passed, Thor struck more fiercely.

The steel furnace, on the contrary, calmed down.

With another violent strike, the hammer in Thor's hand shattered directly.

The calm steel furnace finally erupted.

A transparent flame spewed out, bringing with it a similarly transparent longsword.

The longsword fell, landing in Qin Tian's hand.

[Equipment Name]: ?????

[Grade]: ?????

[Wearing Requirements]: ?????

[Effect 1]: ?????

[Effect 2]: ?????

[Effect 3]: ?????

[Effect 4]: ?????

[Effect 5]: ?????

No information was visible, but it didn't matter.

Qin Tian was certain that this sword could kill the God of Destiny.

"It should be named by you."

Thor looked at Qin Tian; he had forged this weapon and also saw the countless question marks.

"Destiny."

Qin Tian said calmly.

After bidding farewell to the Dwarf Race, he returned to Goblin Home.

He sent the coordinates to Gobu Firm.

The location of the portal was changed again, and Qin Tian walked into it.

Stepping out of the portal again, it was a desolate land.

Zhunshen Battlefield!

Qin Tian stood on the barren land, looking around.

Around him were statues of gods.

Qin Tian saw the Evil God, the God of Falsehood, the God of Curse...

Many gods he had already slain.

All these statues were cracked, their bodies covered in fissures, as if they could shatter at any moment.

Only one was perfectly intact.

"God of Destiny."

Qin Tian looked at the shortest but most complete statue, muttering to himself.

Facing the statue of the God of Destiny, Qin Tian sat down on the ground.

Silently waiting for the final battle to arrive.

[The War of Gods begins, Ragnarok arrives]

A prompt sounded.

Zhunshen Battlefield began to shake, and the ground beneath Qin Tian also trembled.

[You have entered Zhunshen Battlefield, danger, please leave quickly]

[You have entered Zhunshen Battlefield, danger, please leave quickly]

[You have entered Zhunshen Battlefield, danger, please leave quickly]

...

The prompts kept sounding deep in Qin Tian's consciousness.

Qin Tian remained unmoved.

No gods appeared either.

Except for the God of Destiny, all other gods had already been slain by Qin Tian, all fallen, so naturally, no gods would appear.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The time that was once incredibly precious to Qin Tian was now being wasted freely.

Qin Tian hadn't sat quietly and rested like this for a long time either.

[The War of Gods ends, this battle is a draw]

[The God of Destiny is about to appear to bestow blessings upon the gods]

Two more consecutive prompts sounded.

The statue of the God of Destiny, opposite Qin Tian, glowed.

A phantom figure flew out from it, then rapidly solidified, appearing in front of Qin Tian.

"You are not a god."

The God of Destiny frowned as he looked at Qin Tian, the scene different from what he had expected.

This was not the first War of Gods; after each battle, more or less, there would be gods here, waiting for his blessing.

The gods gained power from the God of Destiny, and the God of Destiny controlled the fate of the gods through blessings.

Just as the gods controlled their divine servants.

"Do you wish to become a god?"

The God of Destiny's voice sounded again.

From Qin Tian's body, he felt a power even stronger than any god he had seen before.

This power moved him.

It made him want to bestow blessings upon Qin Tian.

"I wish to become your father."

Qin Tian rose from the ground, the decayed longbow in his hand, and he shot an arrow with a raised hand.

A whooshing sound echoed as a grey-white energy arrow shot out, aiming for the God of Destiny.

"Humans are still so irritable."

The God of Destiny smiled faintly, still standing in place, with no intention of attacking.

The arrow flying towards him suddenly stopped just as it was about to hit him.

An invisible thread appeared on the energy arrow.

The thread trembled, and the energy arrow shattered directly.

"This thing shouldn't be here."

Looking at the longbow in Qin Tian's hand, the God of Destiny frowned.

Another invisible thread appeared.

The thread of destiny wrapped around it again, and the decayed longbow in Qin Tian's hand shattered directly.

[decayed longbow has been destroyed, equipment disappeared]

A prompt sounded in Qin Tian's consciousness.

Qin Tian's face showed surprise, as if stunned by the power of the God of Destiny.

"This is the power of destiny. I bestow blessings upon all things, and all things serve me as their master."

The God of Destiny spoke as he walked towards Qin Tian.

Invisible threads began to appear on the equipment Qin Tian was wearing.

[Helmet of the God King of the Sky God]

[Thunderous Surge Shoulder Guards of the Storm God]

[Endless Sea Upper Garment of the Sea God]

[Thunderous Surge Lower Garment of the Storm God]

[God King's Boots of the Sky God]

[Endless Sea Gauntlets of the Sea God]

These pieces of equipment, previously obtained from the three gods, had already been upgraded by Qin Tian to nether spirit heirloom level using Super Armor, but they still could not escape destiny.

They were still controlled by the God of Destiny.

As the threads of destiny appeared, these pieces of equipment, like the decayed longbow just now, rapidly shattered.

Seeing this, Qin Tian quickly deactivated Quick Change and swiftly removed all the equipment on him.

These pieces of equipment were all carefully selected by him from countless others, taking a considerable amount of time, and many had been evolved to nether spirit heirloom level.

A set of plain white clothes appeared on Qin Tian.

[Beginner's Tunic]

[Beginner's Trousers]

This time, the God of Destiny did not continue to use the power of destiny, but stopped in front of Qin Tian.

"My time is almost up. Are you really unwilling to accept my blessing?"

"The power of gods is far beyond your imagination. I can make you the strongest god, besides me."

The God of Destiny tried to persuade him.

Qin Tian, wearing the beginner's robe, directly attacked him with his bare hands.

A fierce punch landed directly on the God of Destiny's face, sending his body flying backward.

Countless nines floated up from the God of Destiny's body.

But he did not die from Qin Tian's attack, unlike the other gods before him.

The God of Destiny rapidly reformed in front of Qin Tian, as if he had not suffered any damage at all.

"You're not dead!"

Qin Tian looked at the God of Destiny, shouting in surprise.

In his mind, however, he was already preparing the final killing blow.

He had to admit, the God of Destiny was indeed very strong.

Even Qin Tian couldn't see any information about him.

He couldn't even see his name.

"I am the God of Destiny. I can die and be resurrected, but I will never vanish. I am destiny."

"You have blasphemed destiny!"

The God of Destiny was enraged by Qin Tian's attack.

Although it didn't cause him any damage, he had always been high and mighty, an existence even gods had to look up to.

This was the first time he had been punched and sent flying by someone.

The God of Destiny reached out to Qin Tian.

An invisible thread appeared on Qin Tian, with the other end held in the God of Destiny's hand.

"Your destiny ends here."

The God of Destiny pulled hard.

If this thread of destiny broke, Qin Tian would dissipate, directly erased.

"Stop!"

Qin Tian cried out in alarm, frantically rushing towards the God of Destiny.

"Can you outrun destiny?"

The God of Destiny sneered.

Just as Qin Tian reached his side, the thread was directly torn by him.

A look of bewilderment appeared on the God of Destiny's face.

He discovered that what he had torn was not Qin Tian's destiny, but merely a thread.

A transparent thread.

The smile shifted from the God of Destiny's face to Qin Tian's.

This transparent thread was meticulously prepared by Qin Tian for the God of Destiny.

The moment the God of Destiny beckoned, Qin Tian produced this thing, making him believe it was Qin Tian's destiny.

But Qin Tian's destiny had already been severed when he regained his memories earlier.

At that time, Qin Tian had already broken free from the God of Destiny.

"You bot."

Qin Tian's voice sounded, and a transparent longsword had already appeared in his hand.

The transparent longsword pierced into the God of Destiny's chest, directly impaling his body.

[??????????????????????????]

A prompt sounded in Qin Tian's consciousness.

The God of Destiny looked at Qin Tian, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His body began to shatter, then dissipated.

[Player Qin Tian slays the God of Destiny, level limit removed]

A prompt sounded deep in the consciousness of all players, including monsters.

Qin Tian looked at the place where the God of Destiny dissipated; a divine core floated in mid-air.

It resembled a twelve-sided dice, with special symbols on each face, surrounded by transparent threads.

[Divine Core of the God of Destiny]: After use, gain the divine core of the God of Destiny and become the God of Destiny.

Qin Tian glanced at the item description, and the Destiny Longsword in his hand fell again, directly landing on the God of Destiny's divine core.

[Destroy the Divine Core of the God of Destiny]

A prompt sounded, and the dice in front of Qin Tian instantly shattered and dissipated.

Qin Tian glanced at the time.

New Calendar Year 24, June 30th.

The next second, the time instantly changed.

It became New Calendar Year 01, January 01.

With the dissipation of the God of Destiny, the era seemed to be reset.

Everyone broke free from the God of Destiny's control; everyone's destiny returned to their own hands.

"A new era is coming."

Qin Tian murmured, turning around gracefully.

***

End of the book.

*** *** ***

Written at the end.

The results of this book were extremely poor.

According to the debut performance, it should have been directly shelved after 100,000 words.

But unexpectedly, the day after the debut, I broke a bone.

Perhaps this is my destiny.

And the destiny of this book.

I'm the type of person who, if full-time, must play games for a day; if working, I squeeze in time to write.

The harsher the environment, the more defiant I become.

After the fracture, I wrote with one hand for a month.

No miracle occurred; the results were still terrible.

But since I had started writing, I decided to finish it, so I continued to write according to the initial setting until now, until completion.

I believe I didn't mess up the ending.

Of course, nesting dolls can be written endlessly.

It's easy to write a few million words.

But it's meaningless; I'm too lazy to even describe the environment, let alone nesting dolls.

From the first day of writing until now, there have only been explosive updates, no breaks.

Even with a fracture, it continued rain or shine.

So touching.

Powered by love, thank you!

Finally, I wish everyone academic success, smooth careers, good health, all the best, crazy wealth, millions in annual income, and every day to be the peak of your life.

See you again if fate wills it.

(Attached is a picture of the fracture, consider it an Easter egg. Everyone must pay attention to safety; fractures are truly too painful.)
