Chapter 1089
A brief respite
What does it feel like to have a shadow that can act independently of oneself?
Before today, Cheng Shi couldn't answer this question, but now he has the right to speak.
Come to think of it, after the shadow became independent, it was equivalent to bringing a second audio-visual system to Cheng Shi. Even if the same brain is processing information, at least the input has increased.
Of course, the output (physical) has become more.
The shadow is not just a vase living thing; it also possesses faith, and the faith is complementary to Cheng Shi's main body.
In other words, when Cheng Shi fuses 【Chaos】 for 【Deception】, his shadow is 【Fate】 fusing 【Time】, and when Cheng Shi touches his shadow, the faith of both sides will exchange again.
And it's far from just that. The shadow also has talents, and it is completely another Cheng Shi with faith, so if Cheng Shi uses the chaos role-playing method to play someone next time, he will have a "devout" 【Fate】 follower.
This follower can even change his profession with a mask to achieve absolute cooperation and tacit understanding with the main body!
This is equivalent to being able to use two sets of talents at the same time!
When he realized this, Cheng Shi decisively prayed for a single-player trial to test his hand.
And the facts also proved that 1+1 is far greater than 2. The combat power of Cheng Shi with two faith talents coexisting is not just doubling, he is equivalent to having an extra "little brother" who understands himself 100%.
This should be worth rejoicing.
Unfortunately, the timing of this joy is a bit poor.
After seeing the universe collapse, the real universe appear, and the 【Origin】 take action to make 【War】 blood dry and fire stop, this leap-style combat power growth didn't let Cheng Shi have any more confidence in his heart.
But having it is better than not having it. No matter what, we still have to look forward.
Cheng Shi silently reviewed everything that happened recently, took stock of the gains before and after the self-destruction of 【Truth】, and calculated how far he was from the established.
Obviously, the "power" of the gods is gathering toward him under the invisible manipulation of "fate."
The help of 【Birth】, the agency of 【Prosperity】, the support of 【Death】, 【Life】 has become his second faith "hometown."
The container of 【Filth】, the authority of 【Decay】, the hostility of 【Annihilation】, 【Sinking】 only has 【Annihilation】 that has not walked with him.
【Order】 bestows identity, 【Truth】 leaves creations, 【War】 leaves containers, 【Civilization】 is gone, but it has left enough traces of civilization on him.
【Chaos】 is faith, 【Foolishness】 is the goal, 【Silence】 is the paradox, in 【Chaos】, 【Chaos】 is the most sober.
As for 【Existence】 and 【Void】...
Three out of four are patrons, the only 【Memory】 walking on a different path is now hoping to find a memory from him.
The weight of the gods' gaze, if not personally received, who can imagine?
Mortals often beg for the gaze of gods, not knowing that being watched by gods too much...
It's just like that.
Better not to have it.
Cheng Shi curled his lip and took out the 【Truth Ritual】 from his portable space.
He can't tell now whether this thing was sent by 【Deception】 or 【Fate】.
After all, 【Deception】 also mentioned the established, which means the God of Fun's plan must also be related to the established of 【Fate】.
After experiencing so many things, Cheng Shi has already seen the intention of 【Fate】. This patron who blindly worships the 【Origin】 must be building himself into the best offering to please the 【Origin】!
And this "pleasing," judging from his current situation and past experiences, is more like the other party wants to build him into the life most like the 【Origin】.
It seems to be trying to aggregate the full will of 【*He】 through the method of faith aggregation.
Of course, this established is incomprehensible from the dimension of sliced universe experiments, but who can be sure what experiment the 【Origin】 is doing?
What if...
What if the 【Origin】 just wants to sprout a new "Origin" in the experiment of the real universe, then the established mentioned by 【Fate】 really becomes the established of the real universe.
It's just that all this is wild thinking, and 【Fate】 has also lost the memory of the real universe.
The world reset to this point, only 【Time】, 【Deception】, and 【Birth】 have memories, other gods...
Hmm, wait!
Will Big Cat still remember?
Probably not, otherwise she should have called him long ago.
Just as this thought arose, the phone in the warehouse rang.
Cheng Shi was startled. Before he could speak after picking up the phone, a voice that was extremely void came from the other side.
That voice seemed to have seen through life, seen through the world, seen through everything, in short, it was weak, no longer as powerful as before.
"I seem to have had a terrible dream...
Cheng Shi, do you think that dream could be true?"
"!!!"
It's Big Cat!
She didn't forget!
No, it should be said that the God of Fun didn't let her forget!
She really remembers everything before, but, even Big Cat has learned to probe...
Sister, you didn't even tell me what that dream was, how can you be sure that I also know your dream?
It seems this matter really scared her.
On such a serious matter, Cheng Shi didn't tease her, he said:
"Fake."
"?" The tone of Big Cat on the other side of the phone stagnated, "I didn't even say the content of the dream, how do you know it's fake?"
"Because it's a dream, so it's fake.
Xiang Honglin, it's true that you fused with 【Fate】, but you are a warrior of today, a warrior who fights coolly by dice points, not some dream-interpreting fortune teller, don't trap yourself in the dream.
Do what you should do, the sky collapsed..."
"There is always someone tall to hold it up!"
This sentence was answered by Xiang Honglin. Hearing this, how could she not know that it was not a dream!
But she still couldn't believe it, even if she saw Cheng Shi reset the whole world with her own eyes, but in the past few hours, she was still immersed in absolute shock and confusion, unable to calm down for a long time.
If rushing to 【Foolishness】 was her last courage, then the scene of 【War】 disappearing almost took away all her courage.
Experiment!
The universe is just a ridiculous experiment.
No, the starry sky under her feet is not even worthy of being called an "experiment," because it is just an extremely insignificant sample in the experiments under the Creator's hands, and such samples are enough to be thousands, millions, billions... countless.
Such truth is shocking enough to know, and when seen with one's own eyes, that kind of void feeling that hits the soul directly almost swallows her up.
If she wasn't a warrior, the current Xiang Honglin would have turned into 【Void】, completely void.
So after a long time, she called Cheng Shi, and when she heard Cheng Shi comfort her in this way, the Xiang Honglin of the past gradually found herself.
She gripped the phone tightly, her eyes slowly becoming firm:
"Cheng Shi, I want to be that tall person.
I cannot accept watching the world be destroyed powerlessly, but not being able to protect my friends anymore!
Nor can I accept my life being manipulated by the gods, only able to endure silently!
Even more, I cannot accept that when you are doing something for this world, I can't help at all!
Since we are all samples, and all variables, who is nobler than whom!? Why do the gods stand on our heads!?
Cheng Shi, help me, I want to become stronger..."
"Hmm, let's talk when we meet, I happen to bring the authority of 【Prosperity】 to you."
"Hmm... hmm?"
Xiang Honglin was surprised.
"No, what did you say, authority?"
Cheng Shi smiled: "Yeah, if you want to be a tall person, you always need nutrition to grow, authority is nutrition, you happen to want it, I happen to have it."
"..."
The other side of the phone fell into silence. After a long time, Xiang Honglin asked:
"Who exactly are you?"
Cheng Shi smiled self-deprecatingly: "Formally speaking, a variable, a variable as insignificant as you."
"I can't reset the whole world..."
?
Big Cat misunderstood?
She thinks she saved the world?
Cheng Shi was stunned, then shook his head and laughed.
That's fine, a beautiful misunderstanding doesn't need to be clarified. We must give her some hope. Perhaps only when the means of saving the world happen by her side will she believe that this world can still be saved.
Even if he doesn't believe it himself, someone must believe it...
Cheng Shi didn't respond to Big Cat's words, but continued:
"But I am more inclined to another saying:
I am Cheng Shi, and I am just Cheng Shi, his son, and your friend, Xiang Honglin."
Xiang Honglin clenched her fists and nodded heavily:
"Friend, hmm, friend!
I want to become stronger!"
"Go to the void you bestowed upon me, we..."
"I want to become stronger!"
"?" Cheng Shi was stunned, "I know, we..."
"I want to become stronger!"
"... Speak directly, when did you start talking in riddles?"
Xiang Honglin on the other side of the phone paused, somewhat disappointed:
"I always feel that as long as I say 'I want to become stronger,' you will conjure up authority...
It seems it's an illusion."
"?"
No, sister, are you treating me as a wish machine?
Even if the gods are experimental variables like us, authority is not a parameter that is everywhere. Where can I find so much authority for you?
Cheng Shi curled his lip, but didn't say anything. He could understand the urgency in Big Cat's heart.
God, and "God," are really too different.
