Chapter 1211

A strange invitation

As soon as the blind man said "【Order】 had a problem," 【Order】 really did have a problem. This couldn't help but make people feel that the omnipresent 【Fate】 had started to play tricks again.

The prophet of this game was still too strong. Cheng Shi felt a bit more worry about the world collapse predicted by the blind man.

【Arrogance (Order)】 had fallen, and he and Li Wufang had no reason to stay in the temple. After bidding farewell to the two, Cheng Shi returned to the rest area. Without resting for a moment, he took out the Dream and Nightmare without stopping, crossed the Memory Junkyard, and arrived before the 【Fire of Hope】.

The Fire-Passing Hall was particularly lively today. Through the door, Cheng Shi could hear the cheers in the hall.

Just as he was struggling with whether to pull open a crack in the door to peek at what was happening outside, the Candlelight Man suddenly appeared above his head, hanging down, and followed his gaze toward the door, saying:

"The 'God-Making Plan' you customized for them has finally made progress. They have found two carriers capable of enduring the suffering of the 【Decay】 vessel's corruption.

Coincidentally, these two fire-passers are both newcomers, one old and one young.

I'm not surprised by the old one; after all, 【Decay】 represents decline, and the older one is, the more it can stimulate the power of 【Decay】.

It's a pity that he still carries an Oathbreaker's Curse. Although he can bear the suffering of the vessel, I'm afraid this physical state is not enough to support the success of the God-Making Plan.

As for the young one, it's very interesting. She is clearly not a believer of 【Decay】, and is even an Oathbreaker of 【Decay】, yet she can still endure the endless suffering brought by 【Decay】, and it seems she has long been accustomed to these things.

Another bitter person. Before the rough stone is made into a sharp weapon, 【Fate】 has already tempered it a thousand times."

Cheng Shi frowned as he listened to this, feeling that he seemed to know both people the 【Fire of Hope】 was talking about.

Could it be them?

If it really was, then 【Fate】 had indeed circled around him again.

However, these were all plans of the fire-passers and had nothing to do with him. He didn't care about the details; he had come this time to confirm with the 【Fire of Hope】 about tricking Qin Xin into going to the real universe.

He first expressed his worry, asking the other party if Qin Xin were to fall in the real universe due to an accident, whether the fire-passers would become leaderless.

Hearing this question, the Candlelight Man's expression became serious.

"We never deny that the first spark that lights the torch is crucial, but you must know that in the process of passing the fire, relying on a single spark cannot guarantee the transmission of the flame.

Just as they say, sparks are easily extinguished, but the fire-passing does not go out. Fire-passing is the will of a group of people, not the will of Qin Xin alone.

He did found the fire-passers, but the one who can carry them forward... may not be him.

I am not denying Qin Xin's achievements; I am just looking from the perspective of 【Fate】's changes, knowing that every stage of the era's evolution has different brilliance.

Moreover, in my eyes, your existence is the hope of the fire-passers.

Foolish Play, Qin Xin can sacrifice himself for the fire, but don't let his sacrifice become meaningless."

"..."

Cheng Shi didn't like heavy topics, and he liked it even less when others added burdens to him.

He looked at the Fire of Hope with a strange expression and said:

"I was just expressing my concern slightly; you don't need to use Qin Xin's life and death to gaslight me.

Perhaps in this operation, after he picks up the authority of 【War】, he will have a chance to directly take over His throne, and then the fire-passers' God-Making Plan will be an immediate success.

By then, Qin Xin will be the new hope you are looking forward to, and I, I only ask to live safely in the calculations of 【Void】 until the end of the era."

I don't know which of Cheng Shi's words touched the Candlelight Man, but the flames all over His body suddenly flared up for a moment, and then He looked at Cheng Shi with slight astonishment, thinking thoughtfully:

"You will. It would be best if you write the period of the era with your own hands; that would mean the will of the fire-passers has survived the era and reached the end."

"... I am not a fire-passer."

"Fire-passing is not in the identity, but in whether there is fire in the heart.

I know you have it. Although I don't know who lit the fire in your heart, I am sure you are already on the path of fire-passing."

"..."

Cheng Shi's emotions were complex. He didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so after finalizing the action plan with the 【Fire of Hope】, he hurriedly said goodbye, agreeing that as soon as he found a way to the real universe, the journey to pick up the authority would begin immediately.

Now, he was only one road away from the authority of 【War】 to the real universe.

Cheng Shi was thinking that how to find this road would definitely fall on his other benefactor, 【Time】. But the problem was, it was fine to fool the clowns with the identity of the Hour Hand, but he couldn't fool himself.

As the first hour hand He personally pinched out, the fake Hour Hand had no authority of 【Time】, and naturally had no means to break through the space-time barrier.

The Time Deduction Method could indeed allow him to go to the 【Existence】 gap, but this deduction method couldn't take people with him, which was very awkward.

Thinking back and forth, Cheng Shi decided to put aside his pride and beg 【Time】 again. Even if the other party didn't have time to respond, he had to let his benefactor know he was going out. In this way, if there was really a time when the other party could help, seeing how devout he was, 【Time】 should help... right?

He sat on the roof of the rest area and began to pray to 【Time】, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't wait for the benefactor's response, but instead waited for a paper airplane.

Cheng Shi frowned slightly, letting the paper airplane land on the ground in the distance. He didn't rush to pick it up, but instead went through all the friends in his mind who could send him messages in this way.

Those he contacted often mostly used the big cat's phone and rarely used such a traditional method.

The most likely one was undoubtedly Long Jing, because he had used this method to contact him, and at that time he had used the name of Long Wang. As a circus performer who wanted to reach the pinnacle of deception, the other party was very likely to want to "retaliate," which also matched his understanding of Long Jing.

What was more coincidental was that after the Clown Assembly, the task assigned to Long Jing was to go to see the Hour Hand and thereby find the road to the real universe.

Could it be that this circus performer had found the road?

That's not right, he hadn't seen me either?

Could he have bypassed the Hour Hand and gone directly to see 【Time】?

【Time】 didn't have time to see me, but summoned the circus performer!?

Cheng Shi's face darkened. With a belly full of doubts, he got up and picked up the paper airplane, thinking about how Long Jing would trick him this time, but unexpectedly, when he unfolded it and looked...

"!!!"

It was a completely strange invitation.

And the inviter, to be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Cheng Shi wouldn't have been able to think of it even if he thought for three days and three nights.

He saw the location and method of the meeting written on the letter, and at the end, a brainless sentence was left:

"What is 【Annihilation】?"
