Chapter 1086

Beatings and rewards

If you can fight, don't waste words.

The fire of 【Void】 ignites at a touch; the two of them started fighting again.

Cheng Shi was affected by the aftermath of the true gods' violence and fell directly out of the void, but he didn't fall back into reality; instead, he landed inside a magnificent temple.

Watching Ke Ta Luo, who was smiling, respectfully lead the way for him, Cheng Shi said with a sigh:

"It's not bad to be alive, Ke Ta Luo."

"!!!"

Ke Ta Luo is not someone who knows about the world reset. In his memory, he was just honestly guarding the door for his patron, and then he welcomed the audience of Lord Cheng Shi.

But what does Lord Cheng Shi mean by this sentence?

He isn't trying to beat me, is he?

Could it be that humble Ke Ta Luo did something wrong recently?

Ke Ta Luo was stunned. He turned back to look at Cheng Shi with a smile that looked like crying. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he asked cautiously: "What did you say, My Lord? Sorry, Ke Ta Luo was a bit distracted just now."

Cheng Shi was just sighing casually, so naturally, there was no need to repeat it. He waved his hand, left Ke Ta Luo behind, and walked straight into the temple.

Seeing that Lord Cheng Shi didn't mean to beat him, Ke Ta Luo stood in front of the hall and let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's not bad to be alive... Ke Ta Luo, come on!"

Cheng Shi didn't know that Ke Ta Luo was cheering himself on behind him. He only knew that since his patron had set aside its true form to summon him again, there must be something important to entrust to him.

So he walked quickly into the hall, looked up at the golden giant hand in the center of the hall, and asked:

"My Lord Patron, I am here.

Do you have any other arrangements?"

That giant hand, condensed from chaotic yellow fog, fiddled for a moment in the endless yellow fog and gently sprinkled two things down.

A lush branch and a lump of white brain matter.

"..."

The branch was easy to identify; after all, Cheng Shi had seen this thing long ago. Although shocked, he couldn't fail to recognize it, because that was the authority of 【Prosperity】.

But this brain matter...

Did the God of Fun get its account topped up by Wei Zhi?

Cheng Shi blinked, looked up at the sky in a daze, and heard the giant hand laugh:

"Little Cat did well. This is a reward for her.

The 'abundance' of 【Prosperity】 was once gifted to 【Truth】, and now it can be considered retrieved.

I have no use for it; take it and give it to her.

As for this second item...

Hmph, it's a beating for a certain accomplice of 【Truth】!"

"..."

Accomplice of 【Truth】?

Who?

Who is so hateful that they almost caused the universe to collapse!?

Anyway, it's not me.

Cheng Shi coughed twice and looked away.

The golden giant hand hummed and continued:

"No matter how you deny it, it is an indisputable fact that 【Truth】 collapsed the universe with your help.

It's time to be more cautious, Clown.

Although the world has been reset and only a few retain memories, the gods are not that simple. Under the traces that cannot be erased, they can always find some evidence pointing to the world reset.

For example, the blank collection items of 【Memory】, or the unexplainable distribution of the 【Convention】 authority...

The operation of 【Time】 has been meticulous enough, and my disguise can temporarily muddle through, but they will not be reconciled, so the Clown's situation will only be worse than before."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi was already sweating profusely.

"They can't see through the 【Void】, but they can always see through mortals.

Are you afraid?

Hmm, remember this fear; this is also brought by 【*He】.

I'm saying so much not to remind someone, but to say that as the master of this era of 【Void】, as a god who enjoys a divine seat, I must have a few clever and capable errand-running believers under my command.

And you, you have received too much attention. If an accident happens one day..."

"We don't want accidents, My Lord Patron!" Cheng Shi was anxious. "Pfft, pfft, pfft, lies are harmless, let the wind blow them away."

"..."

The giant hand instantly turned into star eyes, looking at Cheng Shi with a half-smile, mocking:

"Aiding the enemy and blaspheming, it is time to punish you properly.

Otherwise, some clowns are about to forget their identity.

Don't think this is some reward; I just want to ensure that if the clown under my command disappears, I must have a follower who is easy to use."

"..."

Do you believe this yourself?

Seeing the clown's strange expression, 【Deception】 ignored it and continued:

"【Truth】 has the ability to enlighten wisdom, and what is placed before you is a crystallization of wisdom.

It can endow life with wisdom, and life with wisdom naturally counts as 'civilization.'

Take out your clown substitute; I know you have it."

Clown substitute?

Cheng Shi was stunned. He took out the clown doll he hadn't used for a long time from his portable space. He examined this ugly-cute doll, thinking, is the prop going to be upgraded?

Did the God of Fun finally remember to strengthen its believer?

Those eyes blinked gently, fusing the clown substitute and the crystallization of wisdom together. There was no colorful burst, nor was there any earth-shattering event. The two props were like water and milk blending together, just like that, passing through the model and merging into one, and then boiling and collapsing, turning into a lump of... black hole?

Cheng Shi was confused. He frowned and examined the black sphere in front of him, not understanding how this equation was established.

Clown + Brain matter = Black hole?

My Lord Patron, is the 【Truth】 you inherited a bit evil?

But soon, Cheng Shi realized that the darkness in front of him was not a black hole, but a shadow, because just as he was amazed, the shadow actually disappeared quickly in front of his eyes and appeared on his...

Shadow!

The black hole and the shadow have merged into one!

"???"

Before Cheng Shi could figure everything out, a larger shadow rushed toward his head.

He only felt a dizzying sensation and was blown away by the painful palm wind into the void. When he woke up again, he had already appeared in his rest area.

And at this time, beside him, lay a shadow person who was exactly the same size as him, but whose whole body was as dark as a black hole.

"?????"

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and he stood up abruptly and retreated. The shadow person beside him also retreated in the opposite direction just like him, and both "people" let out a "Damn it" at the same time.

Cheng Shi blinked in disbelief, finally realizing what the God of Fun meant by enlightening wisdom.

No, you actually enlightened my shadow into a human?

Then do I still have a shadow?

Cheng Shi looked down at himself abruptly, only to see that the shadow was still there, but when he looked up again, the shadow person in front of him was gone.

He frowned, his mind moved slightly, and he saw the shadow under him actually reach out and break free from the shackles of the plane, standing in front of him again in front of his eyes.

"..."

When he met those pure black eyes, Cheng Shi only felt that all this was too strange.

His shadow had come to life, just as it was when he was first gifted the 【Void】 talent.

But at that time, what was hidden in the shadow was Cheng Dashi's backup plan, and now...

"Who are you?"

Two "Cheng Shi" said in unison, and then they nodded at the same time.

"You are me, you are...

Cheng Shi."
