Chapter 1102: Avlos, we must save the world!
Avlos, we must save the world!
"Ahem, that...
【Time】 is destroying the world. Although the world he wants to destroy is not the starry sky above our heads, you and I must be vigilant!
We must be vigilant about whether 【Time】 of another world will use the same means to destroy our world in reverse after learning of this;
And we must be vigilant about whether, if 【Time】 succeeds this time, he will destroy the world again because he is not satisfied with the direction of the current world's evolution, and then restart a new world from the ruins of 【Existence】.
No matter which of these two consequences it is, we cannot bear it.
So, in order for you and me to continue to exist under this starry sky, we must resist and stop him!"
Seeing Avlos getting closer and closer, Cheng Shi scooped up his vessel, stood up pretending to analyze, and began to walk around the table.
"Still the same saying, only by understanding the enemy can we defeat the enemy.
In order to defeat 【Time】, we must first fathom his will, and then infer his next move based on his will, so as to stop and destroy it.
Although we already know that 【Time】 is sparing no effort to maintain the uniqueness of 【Existence】, why did he give birth to this obsession, and where does his will originate...
These trivial pieces of information will all be able to help us, or to put it more clearly, will all be able to help my Benefactor, 【Deception】, to pierce the conspiracy of 【Time】!"
Hearing this, Avlos became slightly more serious. He lay sideways on the table, somewhat puzzled:
"The wills of all gods come from 【Him】...
【Time】 maintaining the uniqueness of 【Existence】 is the orthodoxy of the universe. What is there to trace the origin of?"
"Of course there is!
If you believe that 【Time】 only listens to that 【Him】, you are wrong, and very wrong!"
After experiencing that scene in the real universe, Cheng Shi ultimately didn't dare to utter the divine name of 【Him】 again. Whenever he spoke of that existence, he used silence instead.
"Before this, 【Time】 had never committed acts of destruction.
The past and the future are just his angles of looking at the universe. Since he gazes at the world from above the river of time, why bring destruction to another world?
In his eyes, this destruction could clearly also be the past of that world, not the future.
So, his intention to destroy the world is definitely not that simple. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Just tell me how you angered the will of 【Time】, and we will infer the future from the past, and naturally, we will be able to see when the ambition of 【Time】 began!"
Avlos frowned. He understood that Cheng Shi was asking him why he was imprisoned by 【Time】.
This was an old matter he didn't want to talk about, but today the atmosphere of recollection was very strong, and coupled with the sincerity of his brother, for a moment, Avlos also became frank.
As frank as his flesh.
He looked faintly at the sunset on the horizon of Dolgode, a nostalgic smile appearing on his face.
Clearly, he was recalling his own "crimes," but Avlos had no intention of "repenting." From beginning to end, he felt that he... was not wrong.
"I have always believed that the one who wants to imprison me is not just 【Time】, but the entire 【Existence】. After all, the first 【Existence】 I blasphemed was 【Memory】..."
Here it comes!
【Mirror of Memory and Delusion】!
Cheng Shi wanted to know too much about how this subordinate-god-level creation was split into 【Mirror of No-Loss Dream】 and 【Nightmare of the Other Dream, My Dream】.
His spirit lifted, and his two ears stood up with a "swoosh."
"That was when the fifth era arrived. Because of the opportunities brought by 【Existence】, I luckily became a dependent of two Benefactors, becoming a dual messenger with a distorted faith.
But the coexistence of faiths was far from reaching the degree of fusion of wills. In order to thoroughly realize my vision, I had been thinking about how to build a pure paradise of sinking.
I constantly observed the world, wandered among various faiths, and watched how people embraced gods and expressed their piety, wanting to use the appearance that minor faiths yearned for as a blueprint for depicting that paradise.
It was also at this time that I found a group of people, a group of believers of 【Memory】.
That was a group of rememberers who called themselves 'People in the Mirror.' Although the tracks of the era had reached halfway at that time, 【Memory】 and 【Time】 had not yet descended. They could be considered the buds of 【Memory】. They felt the breath of memory flowing within the universe, so they spontaneously gathered to pray together for the arrival of a new god.
Although there were not many of them, their piety was obvious to all. They exchanged their memories with each other, shared the history they knew, and used remembrance to annotate the changes of the eras.
But because mortals didn't know if there really was such a deity who would cast his gaze because of this fresh piety, although they had many gatherings, they were all like headless flies."
Hearing this, Cheng Shi's eyelids jumped, and he seemed to have guessed something. He added with a strange tone:
"So you helped them?"
"Not bad!"
Avlos suddenly stood up from the table. He approved of the word "help" very much, so much so that his gaze toward Cheng Shi became full of "appreciation" again.
"My brother, only you in this universe understand me best!
I did indeed help them."
"......"
"But I knew deeply that their piety was also one of the desires and should not be distorted, so I didn't use any means. I just encountered one of their organizers as a foreigner, and told the story of how the people of Dolgode worship gods.
Of course, I didn't mention the name of Dolgode, just using another state instead. I told him about the way the people entrusted objects to pray, saying that this way could best attract the attention of the gods."
Wait!
Entrusting objects to pray?
Cheng Shi was stunned and suddenly remembered the reward he received in that 【Birth】 trial: the God-Worshiping Wood Carving.
Indeed, whether it was the God-Worshiping Wood Carving or the huge statue above the God-Birth Church, it could be seen that the people of Dolgode were indeed using objects to entrust their piety.
"I just hoped their piety wouldn't be buried, and their yearnings would have a response, so I gave a slight hint.
And that organizer didn't let me down. Perhaps he found inspiration from my storytelling, and when he gathered next time, he built a huge mirror."
"!!??"
Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, "【Mirror of Memory and Delusion】?"
"Not bad, that was the prototype of 【Mirror of Memory and Delusion】."
The 【Memory】 bud believers who called themselves People in the Mirror began to pray to the mirror day and night, praying that the mirror could manifest their Benefactor and bring guidance to the world.
But 【Memory】 didn't seem to have pity on them. For several years in a row, the mirror had no reaction.
At that time, time was the most useless thing to me, so I observed them for many years, until these People in the Mirror became more and more numerous, the organization became larger and larger, and the power of prayer became more and more solid. I thought such a huge call of faith would always attract his gaze, but still, there was none.
At that time, the sound of 【Order】 broadcasted across the earth, and the sound of 【Truth】 rose like a tide. Even for wild gods, the call of their faith had a response.
Only 【Memory】, cold, more like 【Truth】 than 【Truth】 itself.
Time has no meaning to me, but it doesn't mean it has no meaning to mortals. With the road ahead unclear, the faith of many older People in the Mirror almost collapsed, and they began to feel disheartened.
They looked like they wanted to give up.
But how can desire be extinguished?"
"......" Cheng Shi understood, and he sighed with emotion, "So you helped them again?"
"Yes!
This time, I used means!
I solidified their desires, thereby strengthening their faith in piety, but I didn't expect that this affirmation from desire would actually lead them to another extreme..." ===== CHAPTER 1103 =====
