Chapter 23 God's Favor

Hearing this, Chu Muyun's eyes flashed with surprise.

"What? Are you also interested in the path to the gods?"

"A little interested, and I plan to become a law enforcer next, so..."

"Law enforcer." Chu Muyun nodded, "So, you plan to take the 'War God Path'?"

"That should be right... Can't law enforcers only take the 'War God Path'?"

"Who said that?" Chu Muyun chuckled, "Law enforcers, no, it should be said that most of the law enforcers are 'War God Path', because this is the only way to the gods mastered by the Aurora Realm,

However, among the law enforcers in Aurora City, there are also [God-favored] from other gods, and they can also become law enforcers."

"I don't have any special talents, maybe I don't have the chance to become a [God-favored] at all." Chen Ling sighed, "It's likely that I can only wait three years after becoming a law enforcer, and then go to the 'War Path Ancient Collection' to try my luck..."

"Brother, who said you don't have talent!" Chen Yan immediately put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "You are so powerful, there must be a lot of that... God Path, scrambling for it!"

Chen Ling smiled bitterly.

Chen Ling was telling the truth... From his previous life, he was just an inconspicuous drop of water submerged in the ordinary waves.

When he was a child, his parents did force him to learn some music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he was not proficient in any of them. When he grew up, he forgot everything. His academic performance was average and his physical fitness was poor. He was an ordinary person who might know a little bit about everything, but if he really wanted to pick it out, he was nothing.

Chen Ling in this life is the same.

With two lives of mediocrity superimposed, Chen Ling did not think that he had the potential to be chosen by the God of War...

"Talent is something that is hard to predict." Chu Muyun said carefully, "Some people may have a certain talent, but they have never shown it. Maybe when the time is right, they will show it..."

"If it is the God of War, how can you know if you have talent?"

"It's simple."

The smile on Chu Muyun's lips gradually faded, and he said in an extremely indifferent tone, "You will know if you kill people... Killing one is not enough, kill ten, kill a hundred... If you kill a thousand people, and the God of War still does not favor you, then you can be sure that you do not have this talent."

Chen Ling paused with his chopsticks in his hand, and the living room fell into silence.

"Just kidding." Chu Muyun smiled, as if the ice and snow melted, and the warm breeze blew across the dining table again. "If you don't kill people, you can only enter the ancient treasure... Although three years is a long time, you are young and can wait."

Killing people...

Chen Ling looked at the rice in the bowl, and recalled the scene of the red paper monster killing two law enforcers that night, and suddenly felt nauseous.

Chen Ling is an ordinary person. Even if he killed countless people in the game in his previous life and watched many bloody movies, he still didn't dare to pick up a knife to kill people... He couldn't cross the bottom line in his heart, the bottom line established by reason and kindness.

"What is the 'path'?"

Chen Ling remembered that the [Killing Dance] he drew from Han Meng was the "Judgment" path from the God of War, but he didn't know what the path was.

"You also know the 'path'?" Chu Muyun looked at him in surprise.

"Let's put it this way. If becoming a god is compared to a mountain climbing path, then there are not only the main road but also the 'small paths'. The Shinto is the main road, and the 'path' is the path that extends according to each person's personality and talent.

For example, Han Meng is a stubborn person with a sense of justice. He is the [Judgment] path... Accordingly, the abilities he gains when he reaches different levels may also be different from other paths, and have more personal characteristics."

Chen Ling thought, "How many paths will there be on that Shinto?"

"It's hard to say. Some Shintos have many people walking on them, so there will naturally be more paths that are explored and extended. For example, the Shinto of the Gods, as far as I know, has seven different 'paths', but some less popular Shintos may not have many paths."

"Doctor Chu, are you also the owner of the path to the gods?" Chen Ling asked doubtfully, thinking of Doctor Lin's evaluation of him.

"Yes." Chu Muyun admitted openly, "I am on the 'Medical God Path'."

"Medical God Path? Is the ancient collection of medical Path also in the Aurora Realm?"

The moment this question was asked, Chen Ling reacted and said in surprise, "You... are [God's Blessing]?"

Chu Muyun smiled but said nothing.

Although Chen Ling had long guessed that Chu Muyun was on the Medical God Path, he did not expect that the other party was a [God's Blessing]... Isn't this thing very rare? How come I just met one casually?

"What does it feel like to become a [God's Blessing]?" Chen Ling couldn't help asking.

Chu Muyun was thoughtful,

"Well... This is not easy to describe. It's probably that you suddenly feel that you have transcended in an instant, and there is a gaze looking at you from nowhere... Then, the surrounding environment will change, and a divine path leading to nothingness will automatically appear in front of you..."

"Divine Path? Is it a real road? Not an illusion?"

"It's true, at least it was true at that moment, but before you walk up, it will float in the sky, shaking constantly, like... like..." Chu Muyun couldn't think of a suitable adjective for a moment.

"Like a ribbon?" Chen Yan, who was eating, suddenly spoke.

"Ribbon?" Chen Ling looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, ribbon." Chu Muyun's eyes lit up, and he continued, "Then the moment you step on it, it condenses into a solid and disappears... Although you can't see it, it will always exist in your body."

Chen Ling looked at Chen Yan in confusion, and the latter shrank his neck and whispered: "I just listened to his description... casually said."

"...Okay."

Chen Ling sighed, "I hope that one day I will step on the path of God."

After eating, Chen Yan rolled up his sleeves and washed the dishes. Chu Muyun took out a book from somewhere and sat by the kerosene lamp to read in the dim light, sometimes frowning, sometimes confused, and I don't know what he was thinking.

As the night deepened, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.

Chen Ling was the last one to leave. He blew out the candle on the table. The light flickered and the room immediately fell into darkness...

He looked towards Chen Yan's room.

Chen Ling walked slowly to the door of Chen Yan's room, took out a broken amulet from his arms, and was about to knock on the door when his knuckles stopped in mid-air.

【“I, I… After I woke up from the surgery, I have been waiting for you to pick me up in the hospital… Then, I heard outside that there was an invasion of a ‘world-destroying’ disaster, and I was very worried about you.

【I sneaked out while the people in the hospital were not paying attention. I was about to go home to find you, and then I saw you hanging on a monster…”】

【“The law enforcers seemed to be short of manpower. They only blocked the outside of Districts 2 and 3, but there were not many people stationed between the two districts, so I ran here secretly.”】

【“Brother, aren’t we running away?”】

【“Brother, it’s okay to become a monster, as long as… you are still you.”】

【“That doctor seems to be very powerful. I recovered quickly.”】

【“I don’t know… maybe he ran away when I ran back.”】

Chen Yan’s words kept flashing in his mind, and Chen Ling’s knuckles clenched tighter and tighter… He looked at the amulet in his hand, his eyes full of confusion and confusion.

Ever since he found this amulet in the ruins of Bingquan Street, Chen Ling has been worried. Even after walking for two hours, he kept thinking about this matter...

Thinking carefully, there are many things that cannot be explained from the time Chen Yan appeared to now.

The timing and location of his appearance are just too coincidental... Can a teenager who just underwent a heart transplant really pass through the blockade of law enforcement officers and walk for more than two hours to the back mountain?

Or... is he no longer human?
