"Very good. When you have enough courage to bear everything, you will have the right to know the answer."
[Deceit] smiled slightly, His eyes becoming profound. He cast His eyes down at Cheng Shi and asked in an unprecedentedly serious tone, "Are you ready?"
These few short words were like bullets shooting straight into the space between Cheng Shi's eyebrows, making his whole body stiffen and freeze in place.
He only felt that the surrounding void was congealing. That almost tangible pressure instantly wrapped him up so he couldn't move, making him feel so powerless that it was as if he was about to face a cruel torture where he was entirely at the rcy of others.
Cheng Shi's heartbeat suddenly sped up. Unsettled and anxious, he even felt his mouth sowhat dry as he said, "What, ready for what?"
"The answer you want."
"!!!"
Cheng Shi's heart was about to jump out of his throat. He clearly felt every muscle in his body trembling, and that uncontrollable fear almost engulfed his rationality.
That's right, fear!
Even though Cheng Shi thought every day about knowing the answer leading to the world's future, when it was truly right in front of him, he was suddenly afraid.
Feeling timid as one nears their hotown; feeling more fear in the heart as one nears the truth—this was the sa principle.
He didn't dare face that answer. Even if he didn't know what the answer specifically was, he could predict that to reach the other shore of the future, this world would definitely have to pay a sufficiently 'large' price...
After experiencing the False Curtain Call once, he indeed no longer feared death, but he was afraid that his death wouldn't be able to save those friendships watered with blood.
Was the gaze of [Origin] really so easy to 'play'?
If Wei Mu's guess was true... could that world where the new god descends really survive?
Cheng Shi didn't know, nor did he dare to think about it.
However, [Deceit] was still the sa [Deceit]. He fundantally didn't give Cheng Shi a choice. The only progress was that this ti He gave Cheng Shi an advance notice.
Cheng Shi's thoughts were boiling. He didn't know how to respond, nor did he know how to speak of his fear. He could only subconsciously reply:
"What answer?"
[Deceit] snickered, but there was no laughter in the high-tilted corners of His eyes.
"All answers.
Didn't you really want to know where I locked up [Fate]?
I can tell you, I didn't imprison Him."
"?"
"He is my only twin god in [Void], and also my only reliance under this Starry Sky.
Appearance and essence depend on each other like lips and teeth. Without appearance, all essence is empty talk; without essence, all appearance is also vain illusion.
So I will never distance myself from Him, never dislike Him, and never betray Him..."
"!!!"
What!?
Cheng Shi's brain directly exploded.
You and [Fate]'s wills are so completely different that the whole Universe knows it, and you've been fighting in [Void] making a ss. Now you tell
[Fate] is your only reliance?
Lord Benefactor, did you drink fake alcohol?
Or is the current [Deceit] in front of my eyes not [Deceit], but [Fate]?
Otherwise, Cheng Shi couldn't think of a single reason why [Deceit] could say these words.
However, [Deceit]'s words were not finished yet. That pair of eyes lowered dejectedly, a trace of inexplicable emotion flashing in them.
"But He... betrayed ."
"Ha."
Cheng Shi suddenly laughed.
At this mont, the clown's IQ returned to the high ground. He wagged his index finger at that pair of eyes, not believing a single word as he said:
"Stop deceiving , Lord Benefactor.
In the False Curtain Call, [Fate] once said that He descended with the fixed destiny's will at the beginning of the era. And You descended together with rebellion. So from the very beginning, the two of you were opposed to each other. There is fundantally no such thing as who betrayed who!
I thought this would be a truth-telling ga, but you insist on playing a 'heart-to-heart' ga with ...
I don't know what you are building up to. Your emotions are too strange. This is not like my Benefactor. It's not like that Fun God who has everything under control, laughing and teasing the Universe.
I really don't dare to believe you again, especially at this ti.
Lord Benefactor, can't you be a bit more sincere?
Fine, taking ten thousand steps back, I can believe that everything you said is true, but there are preconditions. You said you didn't imprison [Fate], then let [Fate] co and testify with you.
I am talking about the true [Fate], not your illusion, your clone, or your acting.
As long as He appears here and confirms everything you said, I will..."
"He is dead."
"...Don't ss around. This kind of excuse is so low-level that even Your followers no longer use it. If You hid [Fate], just say so clearly.
The Clown stands on the side of the Fear Faction. You can see my thoughts, why do you still have to take precautions against the Clown?" Cheng Shi couldn't understand no matter how much he thought about it.
[Deceit] didn't say a word, just expressionlessly gazed down at Cheng Shi. Only when the expression on Cheng Shi's face slowly solidified and he swallowed his remaining words did He repeat with neither joy nor sorrow:
"He is dead."
"I don't believe it!" Cheng Shi blurted out. A sneer rose from the corner of his mouth, but he quickly suppressed it.
His cheeks twitched, his body trembled, and his consciousness fought with itself.
One consciousness told him this was the Fun God's new trick to tease the clown, absolutely do not believe it, whoever believes it is a clown; while another consciousness told him that the Fun God's emotions didn't seem fake, [Fate] might really have fallen. Otherwise, this joke was too abrupt and very unnecessary.
But Cheng Shi didn't dare to believe it!
Even though he cursed 'bitch, bitch' every day, the mont he truly heard the news of [Fate]'s death, he still felt as if his rationality was drained, and his whole being completely shut down.
This was the era of [Void]. As the ruler of [Void] who could gain insight into the past and future, how could [Fate] possibly die?
When did He die?
When [Prosperity], [Truth], and [Oblivion] fell, the Universe still shook. Could it be that the commotion of an era ruler falling was not even as loud as these few?
Cheng Shi instinctively rejected this 'answer'. But he also rembered that during the three days before the Audience eting, he had indeed left this world. As for what happened in the Universe during that ti, he knew nothing.
But this also didn't prove anything. The swindlers at the Audience eting had never discussed this matter. Even if they didn't know the inside story, what about Long Jing, what about the Jokers, what about Big Cat?
If such a huge event really occurred, it would be impossible to hide it from Zhen Xin who succeeded [Chaos] and Big Cat who was acknowledged by the [Convention]. They would definitely try every ans to inform him.
Since he hadn't received any news, that ant those three days were calm and peaceful, and nothing had happened.
Therefore, the Fun God's words were fundantally a lie. No god could die completely without a sound...
Wait!
Cheng Shi suddenly froze. Then, he seed to think of sothing. His eyes slowly widened, and his pupils shrank to pinpricks.
It wasn't that there weren't any!
In the change of that False Curtain Call, there was one god who indeed died completely soundlessly!
And entirely coincidentally, it was exactly [Fate]!!
The [Origin] power of the Outer God restricted the misfortune that would drag down the Universe, turning [Fate]'s self-destruction into a muffled thud with no commotion at all!
Could it be that [Fate] died at that ti?
But wasn't that a change triggered by the authority of [Fate]? How could a deity really fall?
Could it be that the Fun God uniquely rged [Fate]'s death into reality, making that muffled thud the swan song of [Fate]!?
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's whole body shook. He looked at [Deceit] in disbelief, a trace of shock and doubt flashing in his eyes as he said:
"Who exactly are you?"
"..."
[Deceit] fell silent. After a long while, He said faintly:
"I am [Deceit], and also [Fate]."
