Chapter 122: Don't rush, you'll know after looking

Don't rush, you'll know after looking

"Little girlfriend? Tsk tsk, 【Time】 people are not a good choice."

"It's okay, choices are temporary, change them after a while."

"Tsk, fake words, but truth."

Big Cheng Shi laughed loudly and pointed to a direction in the void:

"Alive, or rather, everyone who walked in is alive, just accidentally bumped into me, bumped into my 'Void Memory Pocket,' and were all trapped."

Cheng Shi heard this and suddenly realized.

So, it wasn't that the void here was dangerous, but that "danger" happened to come here.

The big Cheng Shi opposite, for the current players, indeed counted as dangerous.

And it was a fatal danger.

"So, this is indeed the void."

"Not bad, if this wasn't the void, how could I have come back?"

Sure enough, even as strong as the future Su Yi Da and his future self, they had to travel through the void to return.

This also confirmed Cheng Shi's conjecture.

The void is both his home field and a cradle of danger.

Because you never know whose home field this is as well.

"Since that's the case, solve my doubts. What secret is hidden beneath this void?"

"Don't rely too much on external forces; this is our principle of walking alone."

"You don't count as an external force. I didn't actively ask you to come. Since you're here, what's wrong with saying a few more words? Just treat it as chatting at home.

Come, start chatting!"

"Hahahaha, at this very moment I finally feel that you are a bit like me. Looking at your frowning appearance, I thought you had already fallen into a helpless situation."

"Alright, alright, I know you are very miserable, but what does this have to do with me? My ears are washed, hurry up and say it."

Big Cheng Shi laughed loudly. He laughed until he couldn't straighten his waist, and only after Cheng Shi urged him again and again did he ask back:

"Tell me first, what do you think?"

Oh, this is an examination.

How outrageous!

Cheng Shi felt that he instantly returned to his student days when he was being lectured by his teacher.

The problem is you are also me, how come you started bullying yourself when you grew up?

He curled his lips unconvinced, and then began to organize his thoughts.

"The Far-Dusk Town matter is actually not complicated. That puppet is the big hand controlling everything.

He spreads faith for the town, brings travelers, controls the population, turns this place into his slaughterhouse, and maintains the accuracy of the so-called prophecy meticulously.

He has done this job for a long time, so long that it doesn't look like he is simply enjoying slaughter.

So I am more inclined to think he has a deeper purpose, and the conjecture about this purpose was inspired by Hu Xuan.

He might be like Hu Xuan, grabbing authority!

It's just that his target is not the 【Eternal Sun】, but the 【Slaughter Moon】.

By killing continuously for a long time, he slowly comprehends His will, thereby approaching Him, becoming Him, and then replacing Him.

I think the process should be like this, but there are still many points I haven't figured out.

For example, if it were purely for slaughter, he seems to have no need to control the town's population so precisely.

Also, if travelers can bring children to the town, then he has no need to change them so frequently. Isn't catching a batch of people to be stud pigs good?

Furthermore, the 【Eternal Sun】 and the 【Slaughter Moon】 are both incomplete 'Them,' but how did their authority get lost here?

And how could they let the authority be lost without seeking it back?

I can understand a person refining himself into a puppet that only acts according to rules for a long-term goal, so as to avoid human nature changing as time stretches.

But...... is it useful for a puppet to steal authority?

Or rather, can he return to being a person through this method?

Or, no need to return to being a person, but directly...... become a god?

The last question, 【Fate】 never speaks nonsense. I have never understood what the so-called attachment means.

Only from the perspective of town residents, I can only understand it as their faith in the 【Eternal Sun】, which is actually an attachment to 【Birth】, but this is very far-fetched and doesn't look like an answer."

Cheng Shi continued to think while speaking, and he thought of a lot, but he never connected everything, so he looked up and asked:

"If you hadn't come, then after I walked in here, what should I have seen?

Or to put it another way, what was originally hidden beneath this void?

Is that thing, or that person, able to solve all my doubts?"

Big Cheng Shi looked at the "weak past self" with great interest, his eyes full of appreciation and relief, and he smiled and replied:

"Will, and won't."

Cheng Shi was stunned.

"What do you mean will and won't?"

"Don't rush, you'll know after looking."

Saying this, big Cheng Shi waved his hand casually, and a memory picture mixed with the aura of 【Nothingness】 appeared before the two.

Cheng Shi suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. He frowned and looked over.

The perspective of this memory was a child.

A child born in an unnamed town.

But Cheng Shi knew, this was Far-Dusk Town.

He was born into a happy family, with a strong father, a gentle mother, a sister who doted on him, and a brother who cared for him.

In this environment, he spent a childhood far better than Cheng Shi's.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. At this time, Far-Dusk Town seemed to still be normal in terms of reproduction.

The child gradually grew up, and Far-Dusk Town became more prosperous day by day.

Until one day, a dramatic change occurred.

A huge sun rose on the horizon, replacing the original sun.

The town residents discovered it and began to become panicked. They didn't know whether the arrival of this giant sun was a blessing or a curse for the town.

So they began to pray, praying together, praying that what this giant sun brought was not disaster, but gospel.

Their prayers seemed to have taken effect.

What the giant sun brought was indeed not disaster, but strong bodies, beautiful appearances, and the ability to reproduce while abandoning ethics.

At this moment, 【God】 bestowed blessings on the town. They were immersed in the joy of being watched by 【God】 and completely embraced the will of reproduction.

In the middle was a chaotic era where reason and ethics collapsed together.

After experiencing that era that couldn't bear to look back, this town, which originally only had a hundred people, gradually reached a population of 100,000.

The child in the perspective also gradually grew up, becoming the father, and mother, of dozens of children.

And at this time, the so-called disaster that had long been forgotten by the residents finally descended.

One night, a blood moon rose, replacing the original gentle moon, illuminating the town's night.

Every resident who saw the moon fell into an uncontrollable fear of slaughter. They were both panicked that they intended to kill their relatives and friends, and fearful that others were raising butcher knives at them.

Thus, in this irresistible chaos, the feast of slaughter began.

In the town's history, there had never been such a lively night as that one.

Thousands of people poured into the streets, thousands of people raised weapons, thousands of people died under the knife......

In just one night, the town's population plummeted to one-several-tens.

When the sun rose the next day, the residents who luckily survived were all horrified by the mountain of corpses and sea of blood before their eyes.

That child, as the "winner" in this "carnival," fell on the corpses of his family and wailed loudly.

The survivors ran, scattered, and only the lost souls who still had love and attachment to this town chose to stay in place, waiting for the relief of the second night......

In grief and fear, they chose to give up resistance.

However, on the second night, although the blood moon rose, the survivors were not polluted.

They looked at the moon emitting red light in a daze, wanting so much to die like their family and friends.

But the blood moon did indeed spare them.

Everyone hugged and cried, thinking they had received redemption.

Thus...... they buried the corpses, cleaned the roads, held funerals, and started life anew.

The sun's blessing was still effective; they still had infinite vitality. As long as they embraced reproduction, soon, the town would be prosperous again.

Seeds of hope were planted in everyone's eyes, and the fact was indeed so.

Many years later, the town's population expanded again.

Everyone thought it was an accident, and the blood moon would no longer descend to punish them.

But one night, slaughter reappeared.

History kept cycling, performing one repeated play after another.

Far-Dusk Town experienced one "extinction" after another, and then after every "extinction," it would experience "rebirth."

Coincidentally, every time there was an "extinction," that child was the luckiest survivor.

After several such cycles, the "people with hearts" in the town finally discovered the secret of the sun and the blood moon.

That was, after the population exceeded a certain critical threshold, the pollution of the blood moon would descend!

So if the town didn't want to be "extinguished," the population had to be controlled.

But under the faith inheritance of several generations, the town residents could no longer leave the sun's blessing.

No one was willing to walk out of the town, and no one was willing to give up their strong bodies and beautiful appearances.

But if this continued, Far-Dusk Town could only experience pain again and again.

The "people with hearts" didn't want everyone to constantly experience this kind of pain, so the "Divine Punishment Plan" began.

They named the giant sun and the blood moon, gathered the supporters of the sun to establish a divine religion, and selected "Divine Messengers."

Then in every year of population expansion, they began to create artificial divine punishments, using various means to kill selected residents, and the next day, the "Divine Messenger" announced that the 【Eternal Sun】 had punished the blasphemers who defied Him......

And that child was the first "Divine Messenger."

On the first night the "divine punishment" descended, he killed the only old friend who had survived several "extinctions" with him with his own hands.

He stabbed the dagger into his old friend's chest with tears in his eyes. The old friend held his hand, full of gratitude.

"We must let the town continue......

This is our everything, this is our heaven......

Grachor, I am a coward, I am afraid of experiencing another disaster, I am really afraid......

I am finally relieved, thank you, and please......

guard it well!"

After the old friend finished these words, he breathed his last. The "Divine Messenger" lay on him, crying heart-wrenchingly.

Just like when the first "disaster of extinction" descended, helpless and hesitant.

"Goodbye, Shilingji, I will...... guard it well!" ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
