As He spoke, the surrounding void suddenly began to boil.
A multicolored aura stead up from the endless pitch black. For a ti, it was as if [Mockery and Jeering] washed over the area, drowning Cheng Shi's consciousness and distorting his field of vision, pulling him back to the mont at the beginning of the era when [Void] descended into the world.
The Universe expanded into endless existence at the end of the previous era. All things and everything turned into solid light, stuffing the entire universe full.
After the white light, the world returned to darkness. Then a voice sounded from the depths of the darkness, also sounding by Cheng Shi's ear.
The instant the voice appeared, Cheng Shi imdiately recognized its owner: [Origin]!
Only to hear that soul-stirring voice say:
"To exist yet not exist is called [Void].
All existence is fundantally void.
The self-deception of living creatures serves as the skin, and the fixed destiny of the universe serves as the bones.
This, is precisely [Deceit], the appearance of [Void], the indistinguishable unreasonableness;
This, is precisely [Fate], the essence of [Void], the unreachable truth."
The Creator bestowed the divine oracle, giving [Void] its proper na. Thus the darkness receded, the epoch restarted, and a new era ca rolling in atop the waves of creation. Two identical pairs of eyes also opened at this mont!
The scene should have ended here. Past experiences of 'peeking' at [Origin] were all like this.
But today was clearly different. Everything around was still continuing. Cheng Shi felt like a 'stowaway' exiled back to the beginning of the era, illegally slipping into that mont when [Void] descended, greedily absorbing all information, reluctant to shift his gaze even a little bit.
This wasn't just because he was shocked by the magnificence of the era's opening, but even more so because he was shocked by his own discovery!
He found that the two pairs of eyes opening in the endless darkness at this very mont looked exactly the sa... Yes, They were supposed to look exactly the sa in the first place, but the problem was, why did the [Void] back then look different from the [Void] now!?
Whether it was [Deceit] or [Fate], Their eyes clearly had never flickered with any dazzling starlight; there were only spirals spinning endlessly!
Just like the [Deceit] he was facing right now!
No!
They were also different.
It wasn't that the Fun God's eyes right now had no starlight, but rather that all the starlight in His eyes had dimd. The traces of the starlight's existence were faintly visible, completely different from those starry eyes that only had spirals.
But why would it be like this?
Cheng Shi really wanted to ask, but before he could make a sound, everything in front of his eyes gave him the answer.
He saw the two rulers of [Void] gather together because of Their descent, eting for the first ti in the pitch-black void. [Fate] was not cold and indifferent. He broke into a smile, the corners of His eyes tilted high, as He poured out to His only twin god in front of Him:
"Praise the great Creator for bringing guidance to [Void].
I have gained insight into the unique truth beneath the Universe. I respectfully accept [His] divine oracle, and will use everything in this world to piece together an eternal Divine Throne for Him before the era's curtain call.
[Deceit], will you help ?"
"I will not."
[Deceit] refused in a second, and rolling His eyes, He sneered, "I think you haven't woken up yet, have you, [Fate]?
What kind of thing worthy of praise is the Creator?
I descended from the [Origin]'s divine oracle, and the very first thought upon opening my eyes was to tear down [His] Divine Throne. And you, you actually want to piece together a new Divine Throne for [Him]?
Are you [Existence] or [Void]?"
[Fate] froze. He smoothed out the corners of His eyes, saying in disbelief:
"Absolutely impossible! [Void] is one. Even if you and my wills differ, they would absolutely never differ to this extent. Are you deceiving ?"
[Deceit] gave a cold snort and sneered again:
"Deceiving you? You hold the authority of truth; who in the Universe could deceive you?
Even though I control lies, I am innately countered by you. If you don't believe it, just look for yourself.
Heh, [He] bestowed the na [Void] upon the era, so naturally it is to let everything return to void. Thus your divine oracle is rely your delusional thought. I can understand your eagerness in rushing to express devotion to [Him], but don't be too ridiculous, [Fate].
[Void] is [Void]. There is only returning to silence, no creation."
[Fate] frowned slightly, His gaze firm as He said:
"The guidance of [Origin] will absolutely not be wrong. I have already gained insight that that Divine Throne will appear at the ti of the era's curtain call.
Although I didn't see the figure of [Void] at that ti, it seems that the will of [Void] will ultimately be put into practice in this era."
"Don't drag [Void] into this; that is your will.
I have never thought that piecing together a Divine Throne counts as void. Only breaking it does.
[Fate], do you want to part ways with
right at the beginning of the era?"
[Deceit] spoke these words toughly, but just looking at His eyes where the spirals almost stagnated, one would know He fundantally didn't want to separate from [Fate].
From their descent until now, [Fate] had shifted His line of sight several tis due to pondering, looking toward the void. But [Deceit]'s gaze was on [Fate] from beginning to end, never once looking away!
[Void] being one was not just talk. There seed to be an inseparable connection between Them.
Sensing [Deceit]'s 'stubborn mouth', [Fate] smiled.
For a ti, colors blood in the void, and the Universe matched in its radiance.
[Fate] lightly blinked His eyes and comforted His twin god:
"There's no need to be so serious. If this is truly my delusional thought, I still have a way to confirm it.
What you call breaking the Divine Throne might be dictated by your divinity. The lies of all living beings gather upon you. With the divine na of [Deceit] overhead, naturally everything everywhere is a lie.
I will not use my authority to treat my twin god. [Void] is one; I believe in you."
"..."
[Deceit] remained silent, but the corners of His eyes clearly tilted up slightly, imitating [Fate]'s appearance.
[Fate] continued:
"But I also believe in [Origin]. [His] guidance is absolutely not empty talk.
Since we cannot determine true from false, then we will just use [Fate]'s thod to verify it."
[Deceit] was completely unsurprised. He seed to have long known what exactly [Fate]'s thod was, and had no objections to this either.
Seeing that [Void] was of one mind, [Fate] smiled. Lightly blinking His eyes, He drove away all the boundless pitch black of the void, causing countless stars beneath the Starry Sky to all ascend.
Flowing light poured backwards, and the host of stars trailed their tails. The sky full of dazzling light gathered together, transforming into a shining galaxy that made the Universe lose its colors.
Seeing this strange spectacle, Cheng Shi only felt inexplicably shocked. Looking at the starlight close at hand, he seemingly felt that fate wasn't that unreachable either.
The stars were still gathering!
Before long, this galaxy grew bigger and bigger, and its shape beca more and more regular. Cheng Shi observed it for a long ti, always feeling that this galaxy looked like so actually existing thing in reality. It wasn't until the countless stars moved spontaneously, their trajectories weaving into a giant ring, that a bright light suddenly flashed in his heart. His pupils shrank as he pointed at this star cluster in front of him that was just like a universe, and cried out involuntarily, wide-eyed:
"A dice!?"
That's right!
These countless stars mutually added to each other's radiance, gathering into a 'dice' of who knows how many 'faces'.
In the next mont, this starry dice was tossed out by [Fate].
