Chapter 1403: Chapter 1403 – The Garden Of Eden Project
Two days later, Shen Xixi stood on the deck and looked at the land in the distance that was gradually disappearing from her sight.
The Man in the flowery shirt had just finished checking the sailing route and also walked out of the captain’s cabin.
“I’ve read your medical report and there are no other problems. Only your mental state seems to be a little tired. Is it because you’ve been too busy recently?”
“Yes. My team and I have been driving around for the past month and a half without much rest,”Shen Xixi said as she took a cup of hot coffee from the man in the flowery shirt.
“Then you can have a good rest now. The journey will probably be very long,”the man in the flowery shirt said. “Of course, if you’re bored and want to find some entertainment, you’re welcome to come to my room anytime.”
“Thank you, but I don’t need any entertainment,”Shen Xixi replied.
“Although I already knew that you were using me, it was still unexpected for you to turn hostile so quickly. After getting on the ship, your attitude toward me has visibly cooled down. It’s really sad. No matter how nice you say it, I’ve taken on a lot of pressure to get you on the ship. Not everyone on this ship is as magnanimous as I am and intends to forgive you for what you did in the valley that night.”
“It doesn’t matter. I didn’t board the ship to make friends.”Shen Xixi paused and continued, “If you have time to complain, why don’t you tell me your next plan? You said you wanted to keep it a secret on land, but now that we’re at sea, you can at least tell me.”
“Of course, you’re also a member of the deep-sea hunters. This request is very reasonable.”The man in the flowery shirt touched his chin, “I’ve always been suspicious of people, but never use them. Since I’ve decided to let you board the ship, I Won’t look at you through colored glasses like the others. What do you want to know?”

“How do we find… the target?”
“We’re not going to look for him,”the man in the flowery shirt said slowly, “After Poseidon was killed, the gods have already lost track of him. Although we have all kinds of modern technology, it’s probably for nothing. So we need to change our thinking — let him find us.”
The Man in the flowery shirt smiled mysteriously. “By using bait.”
Shen Xixi’s expression changed slightly. The man in the flowery shirt seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and laughed involuntarily, “It’s not you. Although you have a relationship with Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng is already dead and only has a body left. The one occupying that body is the lord of laraya. He won’t have the memories of Zhang Heng before he died. Even if I use you as bait, it’s useless.”
This time, the man in the flowery shirt was in no hurry to answer, “I can tell you now, but this trip is so boring, and you obviously don’t plan to do any entertainment during this period. So, I’ll leave you with a riddle to guess.”
Hearing this, Shen Xixi didn’t dwell on this question anymore. She continued to ask, “If… Lord of lalaiya really appears, how are we going to deal with him?”
“This freighter was modified before it set off. It was loaded with torpedoes and missiles. One main cannon and three secondary cannons were hidden under the deck. When there was no one around, they would rise up.”
“Haven’t these thermal weapons been proven to not have much effect on the target before?”Shen Xixi asked.
“That’s right. So the key this time is the ammunition. Whether it’s torpedoes, missiles, or primary and secondary cannons, all of them are provided by the Guardians.”
“What is this, an extra-large Godslayer Bullet?”Shen Xixi frowned.
“Yes, as far as I know, the blood of the gods alone weighs a few tons. It is said that the Guardian found the most precious healing tool and bled the gods day and night. After that, he healed them and bled them again, repeating it 24 hours a day. “Only then did we gather the required materials,”the man in the flowery shirt said with a face that made people’s hearts skip a beat.

“But if he appeared on our ship, wouldn’t your weapons be useless?”
“Don’t worry, we’ve definitely considered this before. You’ll know when the time comes.”
The Man in the flowery shirt said as he fished out a fishing rod from somewhere. “Are there any other questions? You Don’t need entertainment. I Need Entertainment.”
“Yes, do the gods know about our actions? How are they going to cooperate with us?”
“Those guys aren’t reliable at all. Let’s not count on them.”The Man in the flowery shirt shook his head, “There’s a high probability that the final battle this time will be US humans. There are six more ships like this that set off from different ports. As long as one of our teams can succeed, we can save the entire world.”
Just as the deep sea hunter’s ship set off from the harbor, on the other side, in Pluto’s mansion, a meeting had reached the most crucial point.
The battle with the Lord of Lalaiya was not going well, causing the gods to split into two factions. One faction advocated to continue fighting in order to protect the world and to protect their own source of power. However, the new faction.., had come up with a new plan.
“The Garden of Eden Plan, are you guys serious?”Ares’face was ashen. He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
“Admit it, we can’t do anything to him. Odin is heavily injured, Zeus’divine artifact, lightning, has been destroyed, and the spirit of the god of science has been contaminated. We don’t know when we will be able to recover. We have suffered heavy losses in the previous few battles,”the goddess of life, Isis, said in a deep voice.
“However, there are still many of us. We still have enough strength to continue fighting. It is far from time to give up,”Ares said angrily, “Even those puny humans with short lives have the courage to continue fighting. Are We, as gods, inferior to them?”
“This is not something that can be solved with courage, Ares,”the tarot card god interjected, “We also want to continue fighting, but the premise is that this battle is meaningful and not pushing us to the brink of destruction. While there is still time, we should choose a group of human infants that have not been corrupted by their spirit and bring them to a safe place that they will never find. Teaching them diligently is the only thing we can do.”
“Then what about the billions of people outside?”Ares felt that he was about to go crazy.
“There is no other way. We can not take the risk. As long as one person’s spirit has been contaminated and brought into the Garden of Eden, he will eventually enter as well. On the contrary, as long as we can guarantee the purity of the Garden of Eden, the humans outside will die out very quickly. This is because that fellow will bring destruction to the land. When the people outside die, he will naturally not be able to continue existing. However, we can still rely on the humans in the Garden of Eden to continue surviving until we return to this land.”

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.

A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.
