Chapter 1276: [Nothingness] is about to take its curtain call, isn't it, Magician?

【Nothingness】 is about to take its curtain call, isn't it, Magician?

Seeing Zhen Xin and Hu Wei left, taking Frod and Maxfort with them.

They stepped into the void again, destination unknown.

Because they were not looking for a fixed location, but for a person.

Wei Mu!

This God-Chosen of 【Dementia】, the undisputed first on the path to godhood, must have the most unique insights into the entire 【Faith Game】, which was why he could become the focus in the eyes of the gods and also the person closest to Them in the hearts of the players.

Seeing Zhen Xin had had a few contacts with Wei Mu. The other party had a good temper, and although he was a believer of 【Dementia】, he was not as arrogant as those people with their noses in the air. His arrogance seemed to be used in places others couldn't see.

Seeing Zhen Xin had once asked Wei Mu what "benefits" being first on the path to godhood had in the game. Wei Mu laughed and said there were originally, but they had all been stolen by someone.

At that time, Seeing Zhen Xin was still wondering who could steal things from Wei Mu. After joining the Jesters, she realized belatedly that the thief was Cheng Shi!

What the Fate Weaver stole was not the reward that should have belonged to Wei Mu, but the gaze that should have belonged to the first on the path to godhood!

In this era of 【Nothingness】, the gaze of the gods changed due to the choice of the master of 【Nothingness】, distorting the original will of the game and bypassing the mechanism of the path to godhood to choose a... jester... as the answer to the game.

This was a guess she realized after joining the Jesters, and it was initially verified in this trial.

So the top priority was to find Wei Mu and rely on his insights, which far exceeded those of ordinary people, to save this game that was about to fail.

She was not sure if Wei Mu could be relied upon, but she believed that the ending of the trial, or the ending of the era, was at least closely related to every human being.

If the world walked into nothingness, even if Wei Mu were stronger, he probably couldn't survive alone.

So on the point of survival, they still had a common stance.

However, Wei Mu had always been a loner, so where should they go to find him?

The answer was not with Seeing Zhen Xin, but with Hu Wei!

The magician dared to reveal this information in front of the Grand Marshal, not because she only had Hu Wei by her side and no other choice, but because she believed in Hu Wei's connections and believed that the other party would definitely be able to lead her to find that elusive God-Chosen of 【Dementia】.

Sure enough, as soon as Hu Wei stepped into the void, he headed straight in a certain direction like a compass. Seeing Zhen Xin, following behind, was slightly uneasy. She even wondered if the Grand Marshal was being a bit too certain; how could he dare to confirm that they would definitely find Wei Mu in this direction?

Hu Wei felt the doubt from behind and laughed loudly:

"Ever since I could split the void, I have been keen on exploring this space that is completely different from reality. To put it bluntly, even if you are followers of 【Nothingness】, you still know too little about the void.

This is the flip side of reality, a place where the will of 【Nothingness】 is everywhere. Since 【Nothingness】 is prevalent, it means that enough abstraction and absurdity will appear here.

Laughter and mockery might be the most absurd things in the void, but they are not the only absurd things in the void.

For example, here!"

As he spoke, Hu Wei stopped, confirmed the location again and again, and then slashed down with his sword, directly splitting the void and stabbing into the deepest layer of nothingness.

It wasn't that Seeing Zhen Xin hadn't been to such a deep level of nothingness; many experiments of the Tower of Reason were placed here, such as the universally known Star Dagger. But what was beneath this nothingness, she really didn't know.

Getting too close to nothingness would lead to losing oneself. In this world where everyone wanted to save their lives, no one would risk their life to explore the depths of endless nothingness.

But there were also "people" who were not human, who could always be one step ahead of other players and experience the mysteries that ordinary people would never come into contact with!

The hollow nothingness continued to crack along the tip of the giant sword, the pitch-black becoming thicker, like quicksand rapidly wrapping around the two of them.

If she weren't certain that Hu Wei's interest in "opposing the gods" was greater than "screwing himself over," Seeing Zhen Xin would have almost felt that this was the Grand Marshal taking the opportunity to retaliate for everything Zhen Yi had done before.

Fortunately, the feeling of suffocation from the nothingness did not last long. Before long, Seeing Zhen Xin felt herself falling into a brand-new space. It was no longer dark here, but it couldn't be called bright either, because the starlight here was flickering on and off at a fixed frequency.

When it was dark, it felt like returning to the void; when it was bright, the stars were brilliant and dazzling.

Seeing Zhen Xin was stunned. She couldn't imagine that she, who was in charge of the History School, had never known of such a place. She turned to look at Hu Wei, only to see the Grand Marshal also sighing.

"Every time I come here, I always feel that everything is not real enough.

Do you know why the starry sky here flickers on and off?"

Seeing Zhen Xin frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "Rules?"

"Yes, and no." Hu Wei raised his sword and pointed to the high starry sky, saying with extreme solemnity, "Wei Mu told me that this is not the stars flickering, but a huge pointer that we cannot see, which is rapidly sweeping across according to a certain pattern, aligning with time that does not belong to our world.

The darkness we see is the shadow cast by that pointer."

"Lord Hour Hand!?"

Hu Wei raised an eyebrow: "Who is that?"

"A suspected messenger of 【Time】, but the History School has not found its origin."

Seeing Zhen Xin's pupils shrank, and she immediately realized the significance of this space. After all, Cheng Shi had explained the sliced universe very clearly at the Jester Assembly. It was very likely that this was the rule gap of the sliced universe, the place where every universe experimental field aligned its time with that Creator experiment!

"This is the domain of 【Time】?

Is He hiding beneath 【Nothingness】?"

"No, 【Time】 cannot reach here either. This is outside the world, yet it hasn't left the world. This is a gap in the universe, a loophole in the rules, a bug in the game.

According to Wei Mu, the gods are blocked out of the process because of their massive 'data,' while we, precisely because our 'data' is small enough, are able to enter.

This also means that there is no more gaze of the gods under this starry sky. You, me, and him can all speak freely."

As he spoke, Hu Wei took out a bell made of wood from his robe and shook it gently, making a muffled sound of wood rubbing against wood.

Not long after, at the moment when the pointer cast its shadow again and brought darkness to this place, a figure appeared at the far end of this starry sky.

Seeing Zhen Xin looked at the puppet in the distance, her pupils shrinking slightly.

"You have always been in contact with Wei Mu."

Hu Wei waved at the puppet and laughed loudly:

"That's right. After he and I traveled wantonly through the void and discovered this place by accident, we established a cooperative relationship that was free from the gaze of the gods.

But I knew deeply that before having enough strength, escaping their gaze was of no great use, so I had never activated this place.

I still prefer to blow the wind and gather with everyone in the desert.

But everything you said today makes me feel that the time has come. It just so happens that I also want to know what the curtain call performance of this era really means.

Speak up, Seeing Zhen Xin. From now on, you and I truly advance and retreat together."

While Hu Wei was laughing, the puppet slowly approached. He first nodded to Hu Wei, then looked at Seeing Zhen Xin, who was appearing here for the first time, and after a little thought, said:

"It seems 【Deception】 has found the answer. 【Nothingness】 is about to take its curtain call, isn't it, Magician?"

Seeing Zhen Xin felt a chill in her heart, and she was even somewhat unwilling to look into those puppet eyes that could almost see through everything.

She closed her eyes, felt the aura that did not belong to the world, and nodded:

"... I'm not sure, but I feel the curtain call performance has already begun."
