#698 - Chapter 498: The future predicted by the divine scripture?
Jin An stood beside her, gazing at the "story" she had deciphered, a surge of emotions welling up within him.
His eyes narrowed slightly, as if organizing the information conveyed by these profound words.
He had no further questions, for all the doubts seemed to be resolved at this moment.
"The first and second chapters are stories of the past."
Jin An spoke slowly, his eyes gleaming with understanding.
"They record the Sun God, the Earth God, the Serpent of Karmic Flames, and the chaos of the world after the sun lost control.
Clearly, it was a distant era.
Humanity, lost in the face of desire, touched untouchable power, ultimately leading to catastrophic consequences."
Tian Yue Shi nodded, a complex emotion in her eyes.
"And the third chapter is the story of the present.
The Sun God's laughter, the sun's return… they guide this world toward its end, the world returning to light.
All of this seems to foreshadow that everything we are experiencing now is the end time described in the 'Divine Codex'."
Jin An was silent for a moment, then slowly walked towards the window to the side.
He looked at the distant sky, his expression solemn.
It all seemed too coincidental, too much of an arrangement in the dark.
The return of the sun, the alternation of ending and light—these elements formed a series of connections in his mind that could not be ignored.
Tian Yue Shi murmured to herself:
"The sun returns, a new morning.
Could it be… that the 'sun' of our era is about to be resurrected?"
Jin An also walked to Tian Yue Shi's side, standing there quietly, his gaze through the window, looking at the endless blue sky.
Tian Yue Shi knew that Jin An had begun a new train of thought in his mind.
Her voice was soft and firm:
"According to the text description, Jin An.
The last chapter of the Divine Codex seems to be guiding us towards that new morning.
But it also foretells that everything we are about to experience will be even more difficult."
Jin An took a deep breath and turned to look at Tian Yue Shi, a resolute light flashing in his eyes.
"In any case, we cannot stop.
The sun returns, a new morning.
We must go to the end, uncover all the mysteries, no matter how险峻 the road ahead."
Tian Yue Shi did not speak, she just nodded silently, her eyes filled with the same determination.
She knew that the Jin An before her was no longer the one who simply pursued power.
In his eyes, there was already a larger world, a world about destiny, about the return of the sun, about a new dawn.
Together, they raised their heads, looking into the distance.
No matter what challenges lay ahead, the unknown destiny was already destined, and they could only walk side by side towards that untouched light.
Jin An's gaze was fixed on the pages of the Divine Codex, his thoughts drifting with the words between the lines.
His fingertips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to touch those ancient chapters, but his eyes remained on the passage describing the Sun God, his mind constantly echoing with that unresolved question.
"Who could the Sun God be?"
The words escaped his throat in a low voice, as if talking to himself, or asking a question that could never be answered.
His brow furrowed, his thoughts surging.
The descriptions in the first and second chapters were as he had previously guessed—the world's former Sun God was overthrown, Joy Boy bore the burden of this world's changes, and he became the new god.
And the price of this change was that the sea level rose by 200 meters, and the world was completely changed in a short period of time.
Jin An was silent, his eyes looking through the sunlight outside the window, as if searching for some kind of answer.
He had never thought about the meaning of these words so deeply as he did now, as if they were showing him an inescapable truth.
"If the resurrection of the Sun God is the ultimate guidance of the world, then who will it be?"
He couldn't help but think of that familiar name again—Luffy.
"Will Luffy become the 'Sun God'?"
Jin An repeated his thoughts in a low voice, a hint of uncertain tremor in his voice.
He looked at Tian Yue Shi, and found that she also seemed to be lost in her own thoughts, standing silently beside him.
For some reason, this idea made his heart beat a little faster.
Luffy, the boy who was destined to become the Pirate King from the beginning in the original work, seemed to have some kind of unfathomable connection with this ancient prophecy.
If it was as he guessed, and Luffy was to become that "Sun God", then what would the future of this world be like?
"No, Luffy is now... one of us."
Jin An took a deep breath, trying to clear his thoughts.
Although he had been in this world for a long time, the Dressrosa chapter had just begun when he came to this world, and most of the plot was still confusing.
But he knew that Luffy was the protagonist of this world—no matter what his current identity was, in the end, he was destined to change the course of the world.
Tian Yue Shi gently turned her head to look at him, as if she had noticed the unease in his heart.
"Jin An, what are you thinking about?"
Jin An's eyes did not move away from the words of the Divine Codex, and the confusion in his heart gradually increased.
He knew that he had not completely understood these things, but he had a strong feeling—every detail in this would be closely linked to the changes that were about to come.
"These words describe the appearance of the Sun God, but they do not give a clear answer."
Jin An's voice was low, but with a certain undisguised excitement.
"I guess the Sun God is the one who will change the world.
And I have always had a feeling that the World Government will prevent this person from appearing."
Tian Yue Shi was silent for a moment, a complex look flashing in her eyes.
She also realized the confusion and excitement in Jin An's heart.
Although she did not think about these things as deeply as Jin An, her intuition told her that this was not just a guess, but a foreshadowing of some kind of destiny that was about to come.
"Do you think the so-called 'Sun God' can really change this world?"
She asked softly.
Jin An shook his head, his gaze returning to the pages again.
The third chapter of the Divine Codex, the prophecy about the return of the sun, seemed to pave the way for all of this, the arrival of that "new morning"—perhaps this was the mission that Luffy would eventually experience.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, but his heart gradually became firm.
"Who knows, aren't we also doing our best to change this world."
He said in a low voice, as if he was confirming to himself, and also as if he was making some kind of prediction for the future.
Suddenly, Tian Yue Shi gently patted him on the shoulder, breaking the silence.
Her eyes showed a trace of tenderness and firmness:
"If that's the case, then maybe we should prepare for it."
Jin An turned to look at her, and a warm current surged in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to see a clear path, although the road ahead was still full of fog, but at least, he knew which direction he should go.
"Yeah, let's walk together."
Jin An responded softly.
His eyes flickered with determination, as if he saw the light that was about to come.
And under their feet, the future of the world was slowly unfolding in the direction they had envisioned.
