Chapter 126

This is the Tower of Reason, this is the Erudite Chair Council.

I have the image in my head now...

I don't know if it was because he thought of the terrifying appearance of the 【God Pillar】, or because he was frightened by the story hidden behind this trial, but in any case, Cheng Shi's face looked even worse.

He was silent for a long time, and then slowly said:

"So, behind this trial, there is a 【Life】 subordinate god who doesn't know if it was born or not!

There is a 【Birth】 Messenger watching us in the void!

There is a nest of Erudite Chair Council members watching us from high up in the sky!

And we, know nothing."

Big Cheng Shi clapped his hands and affirmed:

"Correct.

If I hadn't accidentally jumped in this time, even if you walked into the void, all you would see is the 'Messenger of God' memory I showed you earlier.

This 'Star Dagger' hidden in the void, no matter what, with your current abilities, you could never find it.

Therefore, this is a trial destined to fail.

And by this inference, you would make the wrong choice in the void just now, leading to the premature interruption of this experiment...

And the consequences of the experiment being interrupted...

Whether it is the Tower of Reason Erudite Chair Council watching everything, or the 【Eternal Sun】 that is part of the 'Star Dagger', it is probably not something you can contend with.

Tsk, so He wrote you to death in the script.

It seems He really doesn't like you.

So, you!

Watch your tongue in the future."

"..."

Cheng Shi's face was completely black, even blacker than the void.

He not only put the answer into the void, no, He even put the entire trial ground into the void, and hid a hand in the deeper part of the void.

With this level of trial, how can one clear it without external help?

Do we have to rely on Hu Xuan?

Wait... Hu Xuan?

That's right, since fusing 【Divinity】 is so difficult, why was she so relaxed, only needing to conceive a child to steal the authority?

Cheng Shi frowned and spoke again:

"I have a teammate..."

He had just opened his mouth when Big Cheng Shi guessed what he wanted to ask.

"That Life Sage?"

"Yes, that's her. She seems to have fused part of the 【Birth】 【Divinity】."

"Correct, yes." Big Cheng Shi's tone was quite emotional, "She is His believer after all. By accident, she stole the authority that should have been stolen by the Erudite Chair Council again.

Unfortunately, compared to Zainjier, this 'giant', she is too insignificant. Trying to shake a big tree with the body of an ant, hehe, it's just a delusion."

"Then she..."

"Is caught in a tug-of-war with Zainjier's unconscious 【Divinity】. Perhaps, you will lose another teammate soon."

"..."

Hu Xuan might die.

No, or rather, everyone was supposed to die.

Because this is a dead-end game.

In a 【Fate】 trial that never covets life, we encountered a dead-end game.

Hehe.

Who deserves salvation?

I think I deserve salvation the most!

If I keep enduring like this, I'll be endured to death!

Lord Benefactor, aren't you going to do something!?

Your poor believer is about to kick the bucket!!

"Are you sure He didn't send you back?" Cheng Shi suddenly asked.

Big Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, then understood who the 【He】 in Cheng Shi's mouth was. He laughed out loud, and then his smile became meaningful.

But he didn't say anything.

"Fine... regardless, thank you."

"No, you should thank yourself."

Cheng Shi no longer wanted to use his brain to analyze Big Cheng Shi's riddles. He began to organize his thoughts, preparing for the upcoming fate choice.

In this trial, whether it was Yuanmu Town or the experimental field, from beginning to end, there was no 【God】 at all.

There was only the attachment of humans, as weak life forms, to them!

Ignorant residents, in order to survive, cling to the fabricated pseudo-gods.

Crazy scholars, in order to become gods, cling to the divinity abandoned by them!

All the granting was just a step in the experiment!

All the slaughter was just a part of the plan.

And the so-called protection was probably just wishful thinking.

Because until now, Cheng Shi could not be sure if that unidentified "Messenger of God"...

Was a priest who was truly crawling in the shadows for the continuation of the town, or a staff member of the Creation Alchemy Department disguised to guide the experiment.

After all, for Creation Alchemy, cognition can also be refined.

"He... that 'Messenger of God', that High Priest of Yuanmu Town, he... who exactly is he?"

Cheng Shi asked this question with a very complicated tone, and Big Cheng Shi answered with an even more complicated tone.

"I do know some 【Memory】 methods, and I looked through his memories before catching you.

He...

Is indeed not from Yuanmu Town.

But he can't be considered a scholar of the Tower of Reason either.

Because he was very young when he entered Yuanmu Town.

Scholars... were his parents.

They brought the whole family, disguised themselves to enter the town, and silently 'guided' the thoughts of the residents.

Don't be surprised, there are actually many people like them, mostly students of the Creation Alchemy Department.

They dedicated everything they had to research.

But when the first blood moon rose, his parents both died.

He looked through his parents' relics and research notes, and firmly inherited his parents' duties, because the blood of crazy scholars flowed in his body just the same.

But as this job dragged on, their feelings for the town changed. The content in his memory about Yuanmu Town became more and more, while his feelings for his parents, for the scholar colleagues he hadn't seen for a long time, and for the distant Tower of Reason, became increasingly blurred.

So, after a certain day, his attitude reversed.

He suddenly wanted this town to continue, even though he knew there was no end here, he wanted to continue to protect this place.

Because he had lived here his whole life.

The friend of the "Messenger of God" seen in the memory earlier, Xilinji, was like him, also the child of a Creation Alchemy student.

After saying goodbye to his last friend, Gelajiao used his parents' notes to refine himself into a flesh-and-blood puppet that would never decay."

"..."

Cheng Shi looked at the black-robed man at his feet, looked at Gelajiao who was still trapped in the logical error of suicide and could not get out.

He suddenly understood why the murderer was so obsessed with "suicide".

Because he was too painful. No matter which side he stood on, his situation was too painful.

He had long wanted to end himself like his old friend, but he was still attached to this place where he was born, grew up, and lived his whole life.

So, he chose to refine himself into a puppet and wrote "suicide is forbidden" into the rules.

But the obsession still drove him, so all the "God-defilers" committed suicide.

But as time passed, this obsession became heavier and heavier.

So heavy that it could no longer be controlled.

So he fell into the loopholes of the rules, clutching his own heart, becoming neither dead nor alive.

Cheng Shi sighed. Perhaps the "Messenger of God" was the one who needed salvation the most.

"I have one last question. Since the Erudite Chair Council promised to fund Zainjier's experiment, why did they kill him?"

"?"

Big Cheng Shi pulled himself out of his silent state, snorted, and became amused:

"Who told you he died?

Listen to less gossip in the future and read more books."

"..."

Cheng Shi was speechless for a while, thinking I have read quite a few books, and now I know everything about how to farm pig-beasts!

But he still nodded helplessly, looking at Big Cheng Shi for an answer.

Big Cheng Shi smiled playfully. He stepped on the corpse's palm under his feet and said:

"Isn't he right here?"

"!!!???"

Cheng Shi's eyes widened again. He looked at the giant corpse in front of him that contained the giant sun and blood moon as eyes in disbelief, shocked and unable to speak for a long time.

"He... he..."

"If a thief doesn't enter the game himself, how can he steal anything?

But ever since the 【Eternal Sun】 gave birth to the first ray of consciousness, his vitality was drained dry.

Not dead, but not alive either.

The Doomsday Upside-Down Man, Zainjier has a new name, heh..."

"What about the people from the Tower of Reason? Why didn't they..."

Before he could finish, Cheng Shi shut his mouth.

Why save him?

Swallow the resources of the "Star Dagger", take over the Creation Alchemy experiment, then expel Zainjier's students, and then...

Didn't the Erudite Chair Council get back the leadership and control of the experiment?

Since the experiment has already started and the approach is correct, what difference does it make whether Zainjier is there or not?

"Thought of it, right? The world is just that cruel."

"Aren't they afraid that Zainjier will successfully ascend to godhood?"

"Guess when they started to give up on Zainjier?"

"... When the 【Eternal Sun】 awakened, after Zainjier was suspected to have failed."

"Smart!

They were also observing. If the experiment could continue, they would naturally take over smoothly.

But if something went wrong with the experiment, the person in charge of the experiment was already dead, so why would 【Birth】 come to find trouble again?

All quests for truth are under the protection of 【Truth】.

They will never be wrong, until the day civilization collapses.

This is the Tower of Reason, this is the Erudite Chair Council."
