Chapter 1072

The Sky Has Collapsed, There Are Tall People to Hold It Up

The shattering of the space-time barrier might be a thrilling landscape for the gods, but for mortals, it is no different from a world-ending disaster.

The reconstructed world froze here, and the reshaped people looked up in unison.

They only felt the earth shaking and the world trembling, and they didn't even have time to determine whether this was an earthquake or a phenomenon. The clear sky for ten thousand miles shattered like a spider web, and then collapsed in pieces at a speed that mortals could not understand.

The pitch-black void seeped into reality like mud, carrying fragments of existence and pouring down like a flood. The momentum was terrifying and destructive, melting everything real and unreal wherever it passed.

At this very moment, no matter where people were, the first thought in their hearts was to escape. Even if they didn't know where to escape to, they had to take steps to escape.

Cheng Shi and the others were the same.

Don't look at them staying in the void, staying in the prison set by 【Truth】 for the gods. They might not be affected when the world is reconstructed, but now, when the world is shattering, no place can be unaffected.

"What... is this!?"

"【War】!" Cheng Shi's face changed drastically, gritting his teeth, "I knew all forbearance was ulterior, and the most terrifying madness is always hidden under the suppressed calm!

They are crazy, they actually want to break the shackles of this space-time and go to that wider world to find an opponent!

Damn, they had a good fight, but what about the gods, what about the universe!?"

Cheng Shi's words scared everyone silly. Of course, it might also be that the collapse the universe was experiencing scared everyone silly. Even Meng Youfang, who claimed to be the seventeenth god, changed his face. He stared at the world rift spreading in front of him and said solemnly:

"Could it be that 【War】 also wants to stop me from returning to the divine throne?

This doesn't look like increasing the intensity of the test, they have crossed the line!"

"..."

Galiusha also looked solemn: "Run, if we don't run, it will be too late!"

After speaking, she took the lead and ran in the opposite direction away from the spread of the collapse. Fang Yuan followed closely, Meng Youfang hesitated for a moment, pulled Cheng Shi who hadn't moved, and retreated.

Cheng Shi's eyes were solemn. He felt that this situation was no longer something mortals could struggle and resist. There must be a problem with the gods' game; otherwise, whether it was 【Deception】 or 【Fate】, they couldn't possibly let the universe fall into the current situation.

But the problem is, what is the problem!?

Without figuring out the root of the problem, they would absolutely not be able to escape alive.

But there was really not much time left for him to think. Compared with the speed at which the world rift spread, the speed at which mortals fled was negligible. Before long, the man-eating black rift cracked around everyone.

They only felt a terrifying tearing force attacking from all directions. Even if they used all their means, they only resisted for a second in this tug-of-war, and then everyone's consciousness fell into darkness.

Only Cheng Shi didn't, because he was saved.

Just as Cheng Shi's vision revealed cracks the same as the universe, he felt someone, no, a claw grab the back of his neck.

Then his whole person was thrown out, and after experiencing a sky-spinning turn, he fell on the back of an animal with bulging muscles and smooth fur.

He instinctively hugged the wild beast running wildly underneath him, and actually felt a sense of peace in this doomsday-like void.

Cheng Shi raised his head, looked at this familiar figure in front of him, felt the cold wind whistling past his face, and smiled with relief:

"Big cat!"

Yes, the big cat had arrived.

Actually, Hong Lin should have arrived long ago.

At the moment the Divine Covenant Assembly ended, the direction 【Deception】 threw Hong Lin was here. Their meaning was very clear, which was to let the little cat find the clown.

But at that time, Hong Lin hadn't recovered from the double shock of the world-ending experiment and the gods' struggle for authority. She hadn't fallen to the void where Cheng Shi was and seen Cheng Shi's figure before she turned around and ran back to where Tao Yi was.

It wasn't until she ran halfway and saw 【War】's fire light shatter the void dome, and the whole world began to collapse rapidly, that she came to her senses and realized belatedly that the God of Fun sending her down might have a deep meaning.

And this deep meaning didn't need to be thought about; it must be Cheng Shi, because her connection with 【Deception】 seemed to be only the Weaver of Fate.

So Hong Lin's face changed. She looked in the direction of Tao Yi, gritted her teeth, and turned back without hesitation, throwing her arms open and running back to find Cheng Shi in the original position.

She knew that in this situation, even if she found Tao Yi, it would be nothing more than protecting the other party for a while. If she wanted to figure everything out and save the world, she had to rely on the Weaver of Fate.

So the Forest Spotted Leopard showed her speed again, scooped Cheng Shi up at the moment the world was about to shatter, and threw him on her back.

Unfortunately, the person saved didn't feel grateful. A "big cat" almost made Hong Lin explode again.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's tone was full of surprise, she would have rewarded Cheng Shi with a claw.

Cheng Shi knew the moment the big cat appeared that the other party couldn't have found him by herself. There was no such coincidence in the world, so after he cast a healing spell on the big cat, he immediately asked nervously:

"Who sent you here?

【Fate】 or 【Deception】?

Did you bring any words?"

Hong Lin hurriedly replied: "【Deception】, but no words."

No words?

Impossible.

Cheng Shi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Then tell me what you know, say whatever you have, the content you heard, the posture you saw, the expression you remembered, all count."

Hong Lin wasn't that stupid. When she realized that 【Deception】 let her find Cheng Shi, she already understood the meaning of this 【Void】 master. She recalled everything she had experienced along the way, and soon she told Cheng Shi everything she saw today, including 【Truth】's experiment, 【Folly】's comments, the Divine Covenant Assembly, and the God of Fun's inexplicable words.

And when Cheng Shi listened carefully and sorted everything out, he finally understood what was going on.

The God of Fun pulling the big cat into the Divine Covenant Assembly was undoubtedly to let the big cat be a messenger.

And the big cat did a good job of this. Although Cheng Shi was very confused about why the big cat's description only had what the gods said and no other details, it was enough.

So 【Folly】's authority is in 【Memory】's hands?

Is this what the God of Fun wanted to convey? But since they know, why don't they go find it?

【Memory】's defense is too deep, and as an opponent, they are not easy to act?

Not impossible. Since that's the case, then I understand. This matter might need to find Li Jingming.

But what does the God of Fun's last advice mean?

According to what the big cat said, they picked up the big cat and said a headless and tailless advice before sending the big cat over. That clearly means this sentence should be more important than other hints in the Covenant Assembly.

But this sounds like a very ordinary advice...

"Once a patron dies, their believers have no one to protect them..."

Cheng Shi thought for a long time but didn't understand, and even began to feel whether this was the God of Fun beating the big cat, threatening her not to get too close to 【Fate】?

But unexpectedly, Hong Lin saw Cheng Shi didn't make a sound for a long time, turned back and asked, which gave him inspiration.

Hong Lin asked: "What on earth happened, why did 【Truth】 want to destroy the world?"

This sentence made Cheng Shi have a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly slapped Hong Lin on the waist, raised his head and said excitedly:

"【Truth】!"

"?"

This donkey-lip-not-matching-horse answer and the Weaver of Fate's repeated provocations made Hong Lin angry. She was about to turn back and roar a few times, when she heard Cheng Shi explain like a machine gun:

"Big... Hong Lin, turn around, no, change direction!

We are going to find someone, find the Learned Chair Society, find the great scholar!

My trial settlement hasn't appeared, which means the trial hasn't ended. Since it hasn't ended, we can still go back.

I know what the God of Fun means.

It's not just 【Prosperity】 that lost protection!

【Truth】 is also dead, and their believers have also lost protection. So, now the things in their hands are mine!

That's what the God of Fun means. They are reminding me to find the 【Truth Ritual】!"

"?" The big cat was confused, "【Truth Ritual】?"

"Yes, it's the 【Truth Ritual】!

【Truth】 self-destructed, their voting power belongs to 【Void】, and the authority belongs to 【Nurture】. It seems nothing is left, but don't forget, their sub-god-level creation is still there!

Find the 【Truth Ritual】, and we can get a share of the pie in this world-ending experiment!

Hurry, Hong Lin, find a way to send me back."

"..."

Hong Lin didn't want to, she just didn't understand.

Her speed was fast, but she barely ran faster than the world-ending rift, so she didn't understand what finding the 【Truth Ritual】 had to do with saving the world.

The world is about to be destroyed. At this time, for the sake of spoils, looking for a 【Truth】 sub-god-level creation, is it appropriate?

The timing is wrong, right?

No matter how greedy people are, they can't be greedy with their lives.

But out of trust in Cheng Shi, she still tried her best to run toward the void that could lead to the trial according to Cheng Shi's description.

During this period, she saw Cheng Shi with a confident look as if he was no longer worried about the world collapse. In the end, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked:

"Can the 【Truth Ritual】 stop 【Truth】's experiment?"

And Cheng Shi, who heard this question, laughed loudly, pointing to the world cracks visible to the naked eye in the distance and said:

"The current destruction has nothing to do with the 【Truth Ritual】.

At first, I was also afraid, but when I knew the God of Fun let me take the spoils, I wasn't afraid anymore.

Think about it, if they were really helpless about this world-ending experiment, they would only and could only start to save this world right now. Their layout and secrets are all in this starry sky, so even if the gods gave up, the God of Fun probably wouldn't give up. They wouldn't surrender to that 【*Him】 so easily.

But at such a critical moment, they actually had the leisure to care about these trivial details and let me grab the spoils, which means they must have a countermeasure!

【Truth】's experiment and 【War】's outbreak are unsolvable in our eyes, but they are not necessarily bad things in their eyes.

They are probably taking the opportunity to scheme something again.

Don't worry, this world won't collapse.

The sky has collapsed, there are tall people to hold it up."

"?"

Hong Lin was even more confused. She blurted out: "【Deception】 will save the world?"

Cheng Shi looked at the fire light in the sky, his eyes flickering.

They said they would, but this savior, probably isn't them...
