That's right, all of this was directed by Cheng Shi.
Those starry eyes that opened above the Audience Ground weren't the true [Deceit], but rely the eyes of a puppet!
The mont those eyes opened, Cheng Shi also thought the Fun God had descended. But soon he discovered an anomaly, because the timing of these eyes appearing was too coincidental—exactly when he wanted the Fun God to make an appearance.
Moreover, the starlight in these eyes was no longer dazzling. This was clearly the image of the Outer God from the False Curtain Call, not the true eyes of [Void]. So Cheng Shi sensed the abnormality imdiately and frowned slightly.
Then an even more absurd thing occurred. The pair of eyes that had just descended outside also frowned slightly.
The sharp-witted Cheng Shi noticed this detail. He froze entirely, and then a crazy idea arose in his mind.
Could it be that he... could control those eyes of a deity?
Even Cheng Shi was startled by this absurd thought. He blinked, but unexpectedly, the pair of eyes in front of the curtain also blinked.
"!!!"
When enough coincidences collide, it is definitely no longer a coincidence. So Cheng Shi tried to softly say a sentence. He said:
"Long Jing, as the winner of the Audience eting... What reward do you want?"
And then, Director Cheng went online!
He was already extrely certain that he could control that pair of starry eyes outside. Although he still didn't know whether this was the Fun God repeating his words, or a prankish perk given to the person behind the scenes, in short, Cheng Shi was having a lot of fun.
Looking at the unhappy Long Jing in front of the stage, Cheng Shi beca even happier.
However, simple teasing was not Cheng Shi's original intention. Since there was such an opportunity, Cheng Shi could totally do more operations. He could even use the fake Fun God as a ans to guide Long Jing into helping him ask those difficult-to-speak questions, grandly and openly guessing the Fun God's will to see exactly where He wanted to lead the world.
Thus, the eyes to the Audience Ground blinked lightly again, the spirals reversed like a flow, and said playfully:
"Ti has always been precious."
"Although I am not like [Ti] who has no ti at all, I cannot waste ti here either."
"Since you want a reward so much, fine, just answer one question of mine first."
Long Jing instantly perked up. "Lord Benefactor, what question?"
"Where do you think the future of this world lies?"
Long Jing froze, and without a second of hesitation said: "Isn't it with Cheng Shi?"
"?"
The spirals in the eyes paused for a mont, and the high-tilted corners instantly flattened.
Seeing his Benefactor change like this, Long Jing hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Is it not, Lord Benefactor?"
"..." It was, but it was nonsense.
Cheng Shi was helpless, and could only change his thod to guide: "Then where do you think my future lies?"
"You?" Long Jing was completely dumbfounded. How could a mortal like him presu to discuss the future of a true god?
Actually, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about it. In the Joker Society, Cheng Shi had explicitly said he wanted to do a blood exchange for the gods. Did this so-called blood exchange include [Deceit]? No one ntioned it at the ti, and they tacitly skipped over it.
After all, everyone present was a follower of [Deceit], and this topic was a bit awkward to bring up.
But since the Benefactor had asked up to this point, could it be... that the Fun God really would be replaced?
Then who would it be?
Zhen Xin or Cheng Shi? It couldn't possibly be himself?
Long Jing loved to show off, but he had even more self-knowledge. An Acrobat whose information lagged so far behind could never beco the pillar of the troupe, and naturally couldn't inherit the 'great lineage' to hold up a piece of the sky.
But this didn't stop his guesses and imagination. Based on the facts, he felt Zhen Xin was more suitable. As for Cheng Shi... this world seed to have a position more suited for him.
Long Jing had never told anyone that when he sat on that Divine Throne from the Corpse Field of Gods, the feeling in that instant told him that this Divine Throne didn't belong to just anyone, it only belonged to Cheng Shi.
He didn't know whether that was an influence from the twisted will of the gods' corpses, or so other hallucination, but he really did have such a thought before.
And after learning of the existence of [Origin], he had also thought, only [Origin] could fight against [Origin]!
And Cheng Shi was also the fixed destiny of this world. If the future of the world lay with him, how could he not beco an... [Origin]?
But these thoughts were too crazy, so crazy that he couldn't find a single person to share them with.
It was precisely because of this that Long Jing couldn't help but wonder if the Lord Benefactor's question today was aid exactly at his inner thoughts?
Then what attitude did He hold towards the fact that He Himself was 'about to be subjected to a blood exchange'?
Long Jing fell silent for a mont. He didn't answer the Fun God's question, but instead emboldened himself to ask a question back. He raised his head, his gaze sowhat solemn as he said:
"Lord Benefactor, does this world still have a future?"
"..."
The scene went completely silent. After a long while, the spirals in those eyes spun faster and faster, replying faintly:
"That depends on how you define the future."
"The world certainly possesses a future, but the future I see may not necessarily be the future you want to see."
"Your question is very good. Don't ask it again next ti."
"..."
"..."
For a ti, the entire void plunged into a dead silence.
Including Cheng Shi behind the scenes. He froze stiffly in place, entirely devoid of movent.
Because that answer just now did not co from his mouth. But rather, the true Fun God had taken over control of the puppet eyes and answered Long Jing's question!
[Deceit] had descended!
Right in the script directed by Cheng Shi, He quietly replaced the role that originally belonged to Him.
At this mont, Cheng Shi was extrely at a loss.
Every muscle in his body was tensing, trying hard to control his body from trembling. He grit his teeth, not knowing what kind of expression to make for a mont. His gaze was also erratic, not daring to look straight through the curtain at that pair of starry eyes he hadn't seen for a long ti.
He clearly had countless questions to ask the Fun God, but when the Fun God showed up, he incredibly wanted to leave here, leave the Audience Ground, leave the Void, and even leave this world, just to escape that impending eye contact.
He didn't know where that single glance would lead him. He only thought that if there were a bit more ti, that would be great; he could grasp more information, gain more strength, and be more prepared to face all this.
But now, the clown seed not yet ready.
Unfortunately, fate was cruel. It wasn't just [Ti], the entire world lacked ti.
Those eyes finally cast a sidelong glance over. The mont the deity's gaze collided with the mortal's gaze...
"Buzz—"
The Universe instantly quieted down.
Countless colors, things, miscellaneous thoughts, and existences receded like the tide, turning into specks of starlight, annihilating at the edge of the void. The entire universe seed to be left with only pure emptiness and darkness, as well as the sole light source hanging high in the sky.
The eyes of [Void]!
One person and one god quietly looked at each other, both speechless.
