Cheer for Me, Blood-Colored Mockery

Cheng Shi didn't know how panicked the gods were.

He only knew that if he didn't move, his spoils would be gone.

The gods frozen in place had already been so frightened that they forgot the world was collapsing. They no longer joined hands to hold it up, so the universe disintegrated more rapidly.

Cheng Shi and the big cat were still studying how to bypass the void where the trial was, but at this time this idea became meaningless, because the void had almost completely fallen.

Helpless, the two had to try their best to escape in the direction of vitality.

Hong Lin gritted her teeth and persisted, almost overdrawing all her divine power. If it weren't for the 【Prosperity】 authority, she would have been exhausted on the road long ago.

But running like this is not a way. The gods are motionless, the universe will perish sooner or later, and just running away cannot save the lives of the two.

At this very moment, the desperate big cat had no time to think about anything else. She just wanted to die clearly and wanted to know if the God of Fun's world-saving was true.

"What on earth are they waiting for?"

Yes, what on earth are they waiting for?

Cheng Shi had no bottom in his heart either.

Originally, he thought that even if 【Truth】's experiment and 【War】's actions exceeded expectations, the God of Fun would definitely be able to use everything they did to make a new layout, such as using this to probe the 【Origin】.

But the problem now is that the 【Origin】's power seems to far exceed expectations, so will the God of Fun's original "world-saving" method still be effective?

Why hasn't that savior appeared yet?

Just as he was thinking this, amidst the spread of endless panic, a bright light suddenly rose in the vast real universe.

This was a beam of light different from 【War】's fire. It was so bright, so brilliant, like a beam of light refracting the colors of 【Existence】, and like a meteor carrying the wonder of 【Void】.

It fell backward and rose, exactly the same as 【War】's charge!

At this moment when the universe was silent, this beam of light broke the shroud of fear, shattered the spread of panic, just like the unyielding that broke free from shackles, spitting on the boundless darkness with a body of light, as if shouting for the thousands of sliced universes under its feet, and also as if crying for the thousands of 【War】s that had disappeared!

At first, there was only one such beam of light, but soon, two, three, four... more and more lights rose from the ground, interwoven into pieces, gathered into a sea, and illuminated that hollow darkness again.

But they could only illuminate that darkness, because compared to 【War】's flames, the brightness of this light was still too low even when combined.

People, after all, cannot compare to gods.

That's right, people!

The light flowing against the current this time was not a god from any world, but people from countless worlds!

When the gods saw clearly who these people emitting light were... a universe exclamation erupted in the real universe again, just like when the space-time barrier just shattered.

"It's him... he's crazy!?"

The gods looked back sharply, saw people in the shattered world, and then looked at those people in the real universe again.

【Fate】's pupils shrank, unable to bear to look, 【Deception】 restrained all laughter, eyes full of frost.

One could see that group of gathered light following the void traces once left by 【War】 and rising straight up again, launching a new round of "charge" toward where the 【Origin】 was.

Although the momentum of this "charge" compared to just now could only be considered fireflies and the bright moon, a world of difference, the distance they walked was further than 【War】.

Unfortunately, no matter how far, it couldn't illuminate a corner of that divine throne for the universe.

Human power ultimately has limits.

That brilliant light became weaker and weaker, dimmer and dimmer, and before long it almost merged with that hollow darkness, never to be seen again.

They seemed to be exhausted, or they seemed to have dissolved.

This weak offensive didn't even attract the 【Origin】's attention, and just dissolved halfway by itself.

However, just when the fear dispelled by the light returned like a tide, and the desperate panic broke the silence and continued to spread, bursts of thunder roared from the place where the light disappeared.

"Boom boom boom boom—"

The thunder roared endlessly, and the light that flashed and disappeared illuminated that hollow place again.

This time, everyone and god in the real universe saw not only the endless darkness under the light, but also a smear of mocking laughter pieced together by countless bursting blood.

That smile had only a pair of eyes and a mouth, looking very much like the brushstrokes on a mask. Those hollow eyes were full of blood color and looked straight at where the 【Origin】 was, and the arc of the corners of the mouth seemed to be mocking the other party about something.

As for what...

No one knows.

Except... Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi was completely confused.

Those countless thunders in the real universe seemed to roar on his head. He only felt his brain buzzing, screaming, and howling.

He widened his eyes and lost strength suddenly, falling straight from the big cat's back. In the process of falling, his pupils were still shaking violently, his limbs were still trembling, and he looked up at the blood-colored smiling face in the real universe in disbelief, only recalling one sentence in his mind:

"Seeing that you and I are 'our own people,' remember to cheer for me when I die, because that is not humiliation, let alone surrender. That is the mockery I drew with blood. I want to fiercely mock that observer under the gaze of hundreds of millions of living beings and thousands of worlds, and tell 【*Him】 that your experiment will never produce any answer!"

Didn't expect him to find an opportunity so soon!

He really did it.

No, it should be said that they did it!

They were so tacit, as if they had discussed it, in this panic of the truth of the universe being revealed, in this 【War】 dying in fear that could not be disobeyed, under the shocked gaze of the gods of thousands of sliced universes, they painted this peerless scene, and toward that supreme creator, with life, hooked up a blood-colored mockery!

But does this... have meaning?

Yes!

Of course!

Freedom always comes from unyielding. If there is no cry that dares to break free from shackles, where does the brilliant new life in despair come from!

So Cheng Shi smiled.

Although his eyes were red, he had been smiling.

While laughing, while clapping, while cheering:

"Pretentious guy, Cheng Shi, you are just a pretentious guy!

Pretending to be big in front of thousands of universes, is it cool?"

He really wanted to say "You guys are cool, but the pressure in the future has all come to me who has never faced the 【Origin】...", but this sentence was never spoken, but turned into self-deprecating sighing:

"Very good, as long as you are happy.

Despair has become the past. From now on, you don't have to worry anymore."

Muttering in his mouth, his whole person fell toward the shattered void.

Hong Lin was also shocked when she saw that scene. Her limbs fought because of excessive shock, and she almost fell to the ground. And it was at this time that Cheng Shi lost strength and fell from her back.

When she sensed Cheng Shi falling, the big cat was going crazy.

She roared to the sky and chased after Cheng Shi. The extended claw didn't touch the person, but touched the tears floating upward into the sky first.

The big cat's heart panicked instantly, and she blurted out:

"Cheng Shi, don't go!!!"

Cheng Shi looked at the big cat rushing over and smiled even more brilliantly.

"Of course I won't go. If I go, wouldn't they have died in vain?

Don't worry, I will definitely live well, live until the day 【*He】 announces the failure of the experiment!"

Feeling the pulling force of the world shattering becoming more and more obvious on himself, Cheng Shi restrained his smile and said in a playful tone:

"Almost there, it should be this time."

Saying this, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers weakly.

Immediately, under the big cat's shocked gaze, space-time froze.
