The Sky Has Collapsed!

The world is still being reconstructed, and 【Truth】's experiment is still continuing.

But this is actually not reasonable.

For 【Fate】, 【Truth】's experiment is undoubtedly the greatest variable affecting the predetermined path. Since they have escaped from the Divine Covenant Assembly, logically, they should definitely stop this experiment from continuing and pull the universe's forward trajectory back onto the right path.

But they didn't.

It wasn't that they didn't try, but that they didn't succeed!

Because an unexpected force blocked their destruction, ensuring the orderly progression of 【Truth】's experiment.

This force naturally does not belong to 【Truth】; it can only be said to be a backup plan they left behind. After all, 【Truth】 is dead; no matter how great or precise the experiment they set up is, it could not withstand the methods of a true god.

What can block a true god can only be another true god.

【Fate】 looked at those familiar eyes before them, anger steaming, and said:

"It seems 【Civilization】 is determined to embark on a crooked path and part ways with 【Fate】!?"

【War】—yes, it was 【War】—those eyes of blood and fire stared straight at the 【Fate】 before them, no longer possessing the forbearance and submissiveness of the past; their eyes were filled with battle intent and arrogance.

One could see flames roaring in their left eye and fresh blood splashing in their right; blood and fire circled and lingered before that beam of 【Truth】 light, wrapping the core of this experiment within, like a wall of copper and iron.

At this moment, 【War】 was not facing just one god, 【Fate】. After the Covenant Assembly ended, the gods had basically surrounded them. They looked at 【War】, who was different from before yet similar to the past, with astonishment, and had never thought that the one who would ultimately guard 【Truth】's experiment would be this sibling god of 【Truth】 on the path of 【Civilization】.

【Death】 was slightly puzzled, and their huge skull asked doubtfully:

"【War】, the universe is collapsing, faith is ending; for you, is there, any benefit?"

【War】 shook their head, flames roaring: "None."

"Then you, why, do you want to stop, the gods, from interrupting, 【Truth】's, experiment?

【Truth】, by dying, sought, naturally, in their heart, they had already proven the answer.

Since there is already, an answer, why does the experiment, still need to, continue.

The reconstruction, of the world, is destroying, the foundation, of our, faith.

When everything, in the universe, that carries faith, becomes, 【Truth】's, variable, in the experiment, then the foundation, of the gods, would it not be, at their, mercy?

Even if, 【Truth】, is dead, and the experiment, is ownerless, we, will absolutely not, hand over, faith, to, an experiment.

You, here, obstructing, the gods, could it be you want to rely on, this experiment, to control, the universe!?"

It must be said, ginger is still spicier when old; 【Death】 had cast a sufficiently large accusation. They had already learned the truth of the universe from 【Deception】's mouth, so naturally, they knew that the current, unprepared universe could not accept the "truth" brought by 【Truth】.

If the universe's cognition were truly overturned by a 【Truth】 experiment, then as a variable in another higher-dimensional experiment, would it cause some uncontrollable changes, leading to that supreme experiment host discovering the clues of this starry sky, and thus making a move unfavorable to this world?

This is what the Fear faction, at least 【Death】, is most worried about right now.

But these worries they could not speak of, and could only use this to "tactfully" dissuade.

But what they didn't know was that 【War】 should have stood with them, because 【Deception】 had long since had a cooperative relationship with 【War】.

What they didn't know even more was that 【Deception】 hadn't found a suitable opportunity to share their plan with their Fear faction allies, and a part of the plan had already gone wrong!

【War】 really shouldn't have appeared here!

They shouldn't have accepted 【Truth】's invitation, because 【Deception】 had long since shelved them, promising the other party that there would definitely be an ancient and brilliant war waiting for them, in exchange for 【War】's support for the Fear faction.

But 【Deception】 clearly still underestimated 【War】's warlike heart, or rather, when there was a more direct way to face that one, 【War】, who had endured for so long, was unwilling to endure any longer.

So when 【Truth】 found them, they agreed to 【Truth】 without hesitation.

And 【War】's attitude made 【Truth】 even more certain of their conjecture, thus deciding to seek truth for the world with their death.

When 【Deception】 arrived at the scene and discovered that it was 【War】 who had preserved 【Truth】's experiment, their expression became unusually solemn.

If 【Truth】's experiment was only bringing the truth to the world, then 【War】's appearance here was undoubtedly to poke a hole in the sky and face the 【Origin】 directly; after all, in the end, they only had this one goal.

Sure enough, different fears cannot bring different people together.

【War】 was ultimately not of the true Fear faction; they were single-mindedly wanting to challenge that supreme one, even if they had failed countless times, they still hadn't given up.

But 【Deception】 couldn't understand; they suppressed their anger and asked 【War】 coldly:

"Just relying on the present, what are you going to win with?"

To be honest, the cooperation between 【Deception】 and 【War】 was two-way; on this point, 【Deception】 had never failed 【War】, nor had they deceived 【War】; instead, it was 【War】, who was single-mindedly focused on war, who had failed 【Deception】.

They knew they were in the wrong, but they didn't want to turn back.

They just looked outside the universe, high-spirited:

"【War】 is in war, and also in struggle, but is never in winning or losing!

On the day 【Order】 split at my hands, I had been looking forward to this moment day and night. What I seek is nothing more than to challenge the initial creation of this world; regardless of winning or losing, it is worthy of the divine name of 【War】 above my head.

This is also the meaning of my existence.

【Deception】, although I have betrayed our covenant, I am not hasty and witless.

You said it yourself, there are countless others like me outside this universe; since they are all me, I call out with hot blood, and all my selves will surely respond with raging flames!

I cannot imagine what a magnificent and heroic war that will be; I only know that that battlefield must be my destination.

【*He】 bestowed upon me the blood of 【War】, and I will return to Him a bloody war. If I win, the fear in your hearts will naturally vanish; if I lose, then there will be no one in the universe who does not feel fear.

In this way, I am worthy of 【*His】 true name, and also worthy of your 'guidance.'

In this act, what is wrong?"

"So today, blood boils and fire burns, just waiting to set out!"

As soon as the voice fell, in the shocked gaze of the gods, the universe suddenly shook violently. Following that, the reconstructed world no longer destroyed itself, but froze, and began to resonate with a certain place outside the universe at a strange frequency.

The boundless void began to peel away, and behind the void surged the colorful colors of 【Existence】. The gods only needed one look to know that it was the 【Existence】 gap, but the problem was that the 【Existence】 gap between parallel worlds didn't seem to have such chaotic and unfamiliar divine power.

The other end of this 【Existence】 gap didn't seem to connect to those parallel space-times that 【Time】 had deduced as they understood them. Could it be that behind this is the truth that 【Truth】 sought?

But what on earth is that?

Just as they were thinking, the 【Time】 power flowing substantially above it suddenly cracked like a spider web, just like an egg breaking its shell, blowing the aura that didn't belong to this starry sky into the universe.

For a time, the gods who felt the unfamiliar became extremely solemn and nervous.

【Fate】, seeing that the universe was about to go astray, their expression sank, and they almost squeezed out the last bit of divine power in their whole body, stimulating their predetermined authority, and held down the resonance of the universe with their own strength.

【Nurture】 followed closely behind, 【Death】 relayed the rescue, and the gods who didn't want the universe to fall showed their magical powers, barely suppressing the shattering of the world.

But at this time, 【Deception】 still hadn't made a move.

【Fate】 tried their best, the spirals in their eyes flying like a face, and the star points flashing like a stream. They glanced at their sibling god who remained unmoved by everything currently happening, gritted their teeth and advised:

"No matter what plan or scheme you have, 【Deception】, the disintegration of the universe is absolutely not a prerequisite for you to achieve your wish. Why don't you act? This world is about to be destroyed!

The era should not end here, and the predetermined path cannot turn into a crooked path. Once the universe is destroyed, he will also die, and the 【Void】 agreement will be severed. Are you willing to accept that?"

"Ch—

Is this still my good sister who wanted to pull the universe onto a crooked path?

You cannot just count me as a member of 【Void】 at this time.

I also want to help, but my cognition tells me that everything is futile.

The reason you can hold up the universe is that 【War】 hasn't acted yet. Once they act, no matter who it is, they cannot protect this starry sky.

Look, look over there, they are about to start."

Perhaps she had expected this "invitation," Hu Xuan smiled brilliantly, but then she shook her head

At that moment, under the sky full of shattered 【Time】 bubbles, the gods only saw countless identical worlds lined up before their eyes. Doubts and exclamations rose one after another, and scrutiny and assessment were interwoven. When the space-time barrier collapsed with a bang, the unbelievable truth of the universe was laid naked before the gods.

The sky of this world had ultimately collapsed.

But it did not collapse because of 【Truth】, but was destroyed by 【War】.

Terror converged in an instant, and the noise quieted at this moment. All the sliced universes seemed to have a tacit understanding and simultaneously quieted down.

And just at this time, countless flames fell like meteors, rushing up into the sky, one call and a hundred responses.

For a time, blood dyed the red sky, and flames illuminated the universe.
