On 【Deception】 and Fear

Although very awkward, Cheng Shi has to confess to the Fire of Hope some of the things he is doing at the moment.

And when the Fire of Hope learns that Envoy Envoy Yu Xi has already appeared in the world, and even this mortal playing Envoy Envoy Yu Xi has already obtained 【Deception】's container, he is a bit dazed.

The candlelight person circles around Cheng Shi, his gaze scrutinizing:

"You wouldn't really be 【Deception】's messenger who was lost in history and just woke up, would you!?"

"???"

Cheng Shi is amused. He points to the other party and says:

"Aren't all these things I'm doing what you said yourself? How did I become a real messenger now?"

"Tsk, hard to say.

All gods know 【Deception】 has a lot of tricks. Who knows if He took advantage of 【Memory】's inattention to tamper with real memories, making the gods forget your existence? Anyway, I don't remember.

Otherwise, this is too coincidental.

Even if 【Fate】 favors you, your path is too smooth."

This sentence reminds Cheng Shi again, making him suddenly think of Cheng Dashi who came to this world to push 【Prosperity】's fall, and Scar Cheng Shi who exploded blood-colored mockery in the Real Universe, they...

Probably are the reasons why the path under his feet is so smooth.

Cheng Shi sighs and shakes his head:

"If I had a choice, I would rather not have this favor.

Actually, I have been curious, why choose me? Fire of Hope, do you... know?"

The candlelight person's flames sway, and after thinking for a long time, he also shakes his head:

"Since I was discarded by 【Fate】, I naturally cannot see through His true meaning.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. You should be glad that being chosen as an offering is better than rotting in the mud of this world. At least you can still resist now, and have the qualification to resist.

Whether it is 【Fate】's established or 【Deception】's rebellion, 【Nothingness】's gaze has always been on you. These gazes do bring trouble, but it cannot be denied that they also pushed you to where you are now.

Hmm, since you have already completed the accumulation of faith ahead of schedule, then next, we should talk about how to pass the fire.

The truth of the Universe you brought is too far from my previous cognition. At this time, looking back at what 【Fate】 did from the perspective of the Real Universe, it is hard not to feel that the Creator is letting the samples produce 'experimental results' themselves.

And that so-called result is also very likely the offering created by 【Fate】, which is you.

Don't look at me like that, this is the most logical guess.

You must know that your so-called Experimenter is doing an experiment with sliced universes, which means 【*He】 must be looking forward to some experimental results.

So everything that happens in each sliced universe, good or bad, should be the only way to get close to that experimental result.

You also said that there are countless 'yous' who failed under this starry sky. They died in front of the Creator. Since the dead ones are not the answer, then the living you, and the you in other reset sliced universes, might be the answer, right?

The change of faith has traces to follow, and the alternation of paths is not meaningless. The wheel of the era has rolled to here. The fact that there is endless nothingness after 【Nothingness】 ends is already the consensus of the gods.

It's just that they who don't know the truth of the Universe feel that there will be a next era after the Universe is nothingness. But from the perspective of the Creator's Universe experiment, does the end in nothingness mean that before this era ends, 【*He】 will definitely find the experimental result that belongs to Him?

If it is... it is hard for me not to think that this result is not from the hands of 【Fate】!

Because He is the essence of 【Nothingness】, the god who can see through the reality of the Universe the most!

His will is likely the guidance direction that the Creator wrote to death in this experiment."

"..."

The moment the Fire of Hope finished speaking, Cheng Shi admits that his fear increased a bit more.

Being a subordinate god of 【Fate】, his insights and inferences are sharp, and even Cheng Shi is convinced by him.

He just can't figure out for a moment, did the Creator spend so much effort to create such an experiment just to fish for an offering?

What does the offering represent?

Of course, "spending so much effort" is Cheng Shi's speculation from the perspective of a mortal. Perhaps in the eyes of that true Creator, this experiment that squeezes the fear of the Real Universe to the extreme is just a casual act.

The heart-to-heart session with the Fire of Hope has indeed gained a lot. Cheng Shi's brain is filled with a pile of guesses again.

When the situation becomes clear, the next step should be to discuss how to walk the road in the future, how to resist, and how to break the established.

The Fire of Hope's suggestion coincides with Cheng Shi's idea. Both feel that as an offering, one must enter the game to accelerate the established, and accumulate more strength on the way to becoming an offering, so that one can lift the table in one breath later.

But in the direction of acceleration, the two have different insights.

Cheng Shi's idea is still to rely on the protection of the Fear Faction, maneuver with 【Fate】, and unite with the gods of the Fear Faction to resist the Creator.

And the Fire of Hope denied this idea from the beginning, and told Cheng Shi that the Fear Faction might not be a good thing.

"The will of the gods is different from mortals. They benefit from the Creator's naming and have ruled the world for millions of years. Even if they know that this world is just an experiment, would they really want to break this experiment?

Just because of that so-called fear He told you?

No.

Fear is the authority of 【Filth】, not 【Deception】.

【Deception】 will disguise, will deceive, will be cunning, will blind, will create false appearances to cover up the essence, but it is impossible to share His truth with a mortal.

If it is just because of fear that gods and people can stand together... then isn't 【Filth】 the true god who should protect mortals the most?

But where did He go?"

"!!!"

These words of the Fire of Hope can no longer be called suggestions, they are almost violent arguments.

He is criticizing Cheng Shi's only reliance, questioning his source of power, and hitting his ally hard.

Cheng Shi can hear that the Fire of Hope doesn't seem to be lying, but the problem is that he is very likely to have mixed in some will he wants to express.

So after hearing these words, Cheng Shi frowns and asks:

"You are also of the Fear Faction, and you are also cooperating with the God of Fun, why tell me these?"

The candlelight person's eyes flames burn faintly, extremely solemnly:

"I said, I represent the will of the absolute minority in despair.

Before today, the Fear Faction was the absolute minority.

And after seeing you today, I realized that there are people who are more fearful than the Fear Faction, and that person...

Is you.

Your path of resistance is the continuation of my will, so I can no longer treat you as an ally of the Fear Faction. I need to start from your perspective and find a path that allows hope to be passed on in this true despair.

This is fire-bearing, and what is passed is your fire of survival."

"..."

Sure enough, when there are many people, circles are created. This truth is no exception among the gods.

The Fire of Hope's words are clearly saying that 【Deception】's Fear Faction is unreliable. We can at most use them, but we must be strong ourselves.

But the problem is, at the current stage, even the messenger identity of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi is "inherited" from the Fear Faction, not to mention that his own abilities almost all come from the God of Fun's layout. So, even if he knows he is a puppet, how can he break this deadlock?

The puppet strings in 【Deception】's hands are much more than 【Fate】's.

The Fire of Hope obviously also knows that this is the biggest problem. He ponders for a long time and says:

"I will find a way. What you have to do at the moment is to accumulate all the strength you can on the road to the established. As for the others, we can only wait and see.

Of course, from your perspective, it might be difficult to break with the Fear Faction, but think about it carefully, what I said is definitely not deceiving you.

No one knows what 【Deception】 is thinking, and it is also difficult for me to speculate that He would break with the Creator just because of simple fear, and instead stand with a mortal, unless He has some unspeakable hidden feelings...

If I thought too much, that's the best, but if I thought correctly...

Your fear might be far more than this."
